FIRE THREATENS
SAWMIIL
Sprinkler System and Fire Depart
ment Promptly Squelch Blaze.

The highly efficient fire fighting
system of the Boise Payette Lumber
Company promptly extinguished fire
that blazed alarmingly in the COM
pany's sawmill about z o'clock Mon
day evening. The damage was slight.
The blaze originated close TO the
middle edger and was caused by the
ignition of sawdust or sticks that had
collected next to the steam feed pipe
that operates the middle saw carriage.
John Salskov saw the blaze from hrs
home and rushed to the mill. But
others had discovered it also before
his arrival and a general alarm was
given, the town apparatus joining the
mill department. The sprinkler sys-
tenn poured down regular deluge and
the strings of hose increased the flood
and the blaze, which was licking the
ceiling was quickly subdued.
The damage was small, being con-
fined to the carriage bumper and a
few scorched boards.

| The estimated loss from bad egg
is SO million dollars worth. By re
storing confidence in the egg marke
a very large percentage of thil
amount can be saved. The real los:
from, bad eggs come from the follow.
| ing sources: Loss in price becaus,
of poor quality. Loss entailed by
| necessity for a large army of grad.
| ers, gamblers and others in sorting
the good from the bad and preparing
the eggs for market. Loss. due to
curtailed consumption of doubtful
eggs, which cut down the demand and
lower the price. Loss in transporta-
tion charges on eggs which are worth
less.
Eggs are one of the most perishable
of all food products and should have
the best of care and treatment from
the time they are laid until they
reach the consumers table.
The qualifications of most import
ance in an egg is weight and the quail
ity of the yolk. In candling the yolk
may show spots, blood rings or be of
dark color. The white may be thick
and the yolk barely visible. All
these defects may be caused from
ovarian trouble or bodily conditions;
or from improper feeding. In order
to eliminate the disqualifcations and
help to restore confidence in the mar
ket, it is necessary to study poultry
conditions along these lines
We hope to make our poultry cir
Gle an educational work to insure the
success of the organizations: and the !
formation of poultry communities
which bind themselves into co-opera-
tive circles, we believe, will mean the /
solution of our poultry problems
The individual fighting his battle alone
cannot secure the market or get vol |
lme enough to make his business a
paying proposition berause he pays
higher prices for feed and supplies
md is deprived of many things which
re might have if he was cooperating
through a cooperative circle or as
;ociation.

crested in poultry raising to come
