Story of Discovery.
The Lookout Mountain is not an old
location. In fact only six years have
passed since the discovery was made,
and thereby hangs a tale. 1t was late
in the fall Of 1915 that William Roach,
and old time prospector well known in
Wardner and Kellogg, made known to
W. l.. Penney publisher Of the Ward
ner- kellogg News, that he had heard
the call Of the hills and that if he had
a grubstake he would go prospecting.
Mr.. Penney thereupon established his
credit at the grocery store to the ex-
tent of SIS, and nothing more was seen
of Mr. Roach until along about Christ
mas time, when he put in appearance
at the News office and exhibited a
chunk OF carbonate ore taken 50 near
the surface that grass roots were still
and an assay showed that it was even
better than it looked, for it returned

was on open ground, part of the claims

SLATE CREEKIPLAT|NUM
MAKING FURTHER TESTS
SAN FRANCISCO ASSAY SHOWS
PRESENCE OF METAL-woRK
IN THE SPRING.

The recent charge that the Grants
Pass assayer had made fake assays
showing platinum in samples taken
from ledge near Grants Pass natu-
rally aroused suspicion that its certif-
icate showing 196 ounces of platinum
in a sample taken from the Macedonia
property on Slate creek was also a
fake. While fully realizing this, the
owner of the Macedonia group, A. NJ.
Mundell. nevertheless believes that his
property contains sufficient platinum
to give it great value and is having
other tests made by assayers of estab-
lished reputation and whose returns
cannot be questioned He above all
others wants to know the facts, and
these he says he will determine before
making any further representations
regarding his property in connection
with platinum. He has sent several
samples to nationally known metallur-
gical establishments and buyers of
platinum ore, and the results of these
tests should finally determine the
question.

SELECT SETTINGS WITH CARE

Eggs that are abnormally small
and poorly shaped should not be
used for incubation; neither should
eggs that have thin or very porous
shells, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. If
possible, eggs should be set when
fresh, and it is never advisable to
use for Matching eggs that are more
than two weeks old. One of the
quickest ways to obtain uniformity
in the offspring is to select uniform
ly good-sized eggs of the same color
Hard, sharp grit for grinding feed
and oyster shells to supply lime for
egg shells are both necessary. Meth
er will replace the other, say spec
ialists of the United States Depart

U. $. NINTH IN EDUCATION

In recommending the passage OF
the Smith-Towner bill for the estab-
lishment of a federal department of
education, the house committee on
education stated that the United
States occupies ninth place in edu-
cation, with most of the world ahead
of u.s." The committee further said
that illiteracy alone is responsible for
an economic loss of S25,OOO.OOO a
year. and that there are 100000
more white illiterates than illiterate
negroes. Competent teachers are
forced to give up their work on &C
count of their meager salaries and
many communities are unable fl
nancially to support any schools at
all. The committee asserted that che
bill is necessary as a measure to meet
the situation and to give aid to the
states. There is strong opposition
to this bill, especially in Catholic
quarters.

PUREBRED ASSOCIATIONS
PLAN TO EXHIBIT STOCK

Two bure-bred livestock associa-
lions were organized last year in
Steuben County, Ind, according to a
report received from County Agent
T. A. Parker by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The as
sociations plan to make exhibits at
the county fair to stimulate interest
in well-bred animals, and then con-
duct cooperative public sales. One
association is composed of. Duroc and
the other of Hampshire breeders.
One breeder of Chester White hogs,
in order to establish some of the boys
has given five excellent gifts to as
many boys, with the understanding
that they will return to him any
gilt he may choose from the first
litter.

MAKE HENS WORK FOR FOOD

Selling fertile eggs for market
purposes during warm weather cost
farmers $15,OO0,OOO a year, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This loss
is preventable. The rooster makes
the egg fertile. The fertile egg makes
the blood ring, which spoils the egg
for food and market.
Until one has had considerable ex-
perience it is best not to brood over
500 chickens in one flock, and a
smaller number would probably do
better, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Brood coops with runs should be
placed on ground where the grass is
green and tender, and, as fast as it
is eaten off, the coop and run should
be moved to a place where the grass
is plentiful, say specialists of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. =t- .r-'

Farm Fences Rightly Built Give
Economy And Service


Farm fences should combine two
qualities-service and econOmy-says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. To give satisfactory SER
vice the fence must be constructed s.
as to turn all kinds of stock without
injuring them. To be economical it
must be built as cheaply as is consis-
tent with durability. The fence that
is erected at low initial cost is not
necessarily economical, for it may be
so short lived that it will be very ex-
pensive in the end.
The cost of maintaining a farm
fence is determined by such factors
as interest, repairs and depreciation
on the fence itself, interest on the
value of land rendered unusable, and
the expense of keeping down weeds.
The cost of repairs and the annual
depreciation depend largely on the
construction. If fence is made of
cheap grade of material and is
cheaply constructed it will need fire.
quent repair, and will be short lived.
Such fence will have a high re-
pair and depreciation charge, which
in most cases will more than coun-
terbalance the increased investment
cost that the erection of more sub
stantial fence would require. If a
fence is made of good materials and
is properly built, its repair and depre-
citation charges should be very low
The efficiency of fence depends
upon the quality of wire and posts
used and the manner of construction

Perennial Crops viii Add Value To
The Home Garden.

Paintings of perennial fruit and
vegetables add to the interest and
value of every home garden. In To-
caiities where they may he grown,
some fruit trees and bush fruits
should be planted where space per-
mits.. In addition to the small fruits
there are a few permanent vegetables
which should not be overlooked.
One of these is asparagus, which
will thrive almost anywhere. provided
it is planted in good soil. A plot of
ground Is to 20 feet square in one
corner of the garden will supply all
of the asparagus needed by an aver
age family A few hills of rhubarb
in sections where it will grow can be
planted along the garden fence and
furnish the family supply. The sar.e

Grapes of the type and variety suit
ed to the locality should always be
included in the home garden. These
can be grown on an arbor over the
walk where they require no extra
space. Four to six vines of the stan
dard varieties, and one or two of the
southern type in thei rproper locality
will be sufficient.

partment of Agriculture. AS a re-
suit of a persistent campaign for the
control of cholera and strict organic
ed effort to eradicate It, there has
been a remarkable decrease in the
disease in the county during the last
two years. In 1917 the loss from
cholera in the county, according to
the county agent, was about $4,000.
In 1918 II was little less than S5,-
600, and in 1919 It was about the
same. In 1920, however, only three
cases occurred in the county, which
leads the swine breeders to believe
that if their efforts to control the
disease are continued cholera can be
practically eradicated.
