such, for instance, may be mentioned

Va, November 8, 1889, and penned by
George Washington; deed covering

STATE
CAPITAL

Asylum Full, State Told.

DR.. A. p. Herring, State Commits
sioner OF Mental Hygiene, has been
asked to relieve crowded conditions
at Bay View Asylum by removing in
sane colored female patients there, he
announced. DR.. Herring will make
an inspection Of the colored asylum
at Brownsville this week to determine
the number Of patients that can be
taken there from Bay View.
In order to care for the growing
number of insane patients DR.. Her
ring will ask an appropriation from
the next Legislature to build a new
hospital In Western Maryland, in the
vicinity Of Cumberland, he said today.
Increase in the number Of patients
at Bay View has made removal OF
some cases imperative, DR.. Harry
Goldsmith, resident physician, told
DR.. Herring. The hospital has re-
filed with new patients as fast as
other cases were removed to State in
situations, DR.. Herring was told.
Since January l, 231 cases have
been admitted to Bay View, of which
number about 100 have been trans
ferred to State institutions, DR.. Her
ring said. During May and June an
average Of approximately so cases a
month were admitted, DR.. Goldsmith
said.
Pending completion of the new
Hugh H. Young building at Crowns
vile, which will allow room for 200
patients after 1t is opened in Novem-
Der, only few additional patients
can now be cared for at the colored
asylum, DR.. Herring declared.

For those who are yet inexperienced
in cake-making few suggestions may
be helpful:
Firstly have all the ingredients
gathered before starting to prepare
the cake, as often a most important
Ingredient may be lacking. Lining all
cake pans Is good practice as 1t
helps to keep cake moist, makes easier
the removing If It from the pan and
If too hot, the scorch will be on the
paper and will peel of with 1t when
the paper is removed.
The Old-fashioned cooks were advo-
Gates of much Dreaming of butter and
sugar, but times have changed snd
the time spent in such work has been
largely saved for more important
things. All ingredients, If well-blended
and given good beating, will make a
flne-grained cake which answers al
most any purpose. OF course. for
great occasions, such as wedding
cakes, work Is never considered The
following Is good, plain foundation
cake which may be used for all or
binary occasions:
Plain cake.-Take three level table
spoonfuls of butter, add one cupful of
sugar, one-half cupful of milk, Two
well-beaten eggs, two teaspoonfuls Of
baking powder added to one and three
fourths cupfuis of flour. Flavor as
liked. beat well and bake in square
tin.
A slight depression made in the cen
ter of all cakes, heaping the dough
around the edges of the pan. will re-
suit In level cake, as all mixtures
tend to hump up in the middle when
baking. Too much -four Will cause
this unsightly hump also. The most
satisfactory cake is the one which
may be baked as thin as possible
that is with as little flour, and still
keep from falling when baking. The
thinner the batter the more delicate
and tender the cake.
A rubber bath sponge makes a good

DOUGLAS CHEESE
HAS BIG SALE
Orders Now Being Received
Far Exceed Output of
Factory

When the matter of establishing a
cheese factory in this Valley was
first considered a few months ago,
considerable apprehension was mani
fest in some quarters as to a market
for the product. With this in mind,
the factory was established and but
/. limited amount of milk was con-
traeted pending the development of
n market for the output.
Owing to the superior product of
the newly established industry, a
ready market has been developed and
last week an order was received from
one large distributor for three
thousand pounds of cheese. Trial
orders have brought continued bust
ness and as result for the constant
growing demand for Douglas cheese,
Il has been necessary to increase the
purchase of milk to almost double
the amount that was being secured
when the factory opened a few
month ago.
The stockholders and hackers of
the new industry are more than
satisfied with the growth of the
business and feel that within a
reasonable time the Douglas cheese
factory wild become one of the lead
ing industries of Carson Valley.

CROP OF ALFALFA
NOW BEING HARVESTED
Crop for Most Part Reported
to be Fair Yield; Water
Will be Short for Next
Crop

Earlier by three weeks than in
normal seasons, cutting of the first
crop of alfalfa in this Valley start
ed on the bigger ranches Monday.
At the Arnold Settelmeyer ranch,
where the hay natures a little
earlier than on farms situated lower,
cutting of the first crop started last
week.
Due to the exceptionally early
spring and the unusual warm wealth
er, the first crop matured considera-
ly earlir than usual and reports from
various ranches state that the crop
is heavy and the yield is extremely
satisfactory.
On nearly all Of the farms, haying
will be in full swing this week and
the hay stacked as soon as possible.
Through this it will be possible to
irrigate the fields while there is
still a sufficient flow in the East
Fork to irrigate the fields and start
the second crop.
It does not appear that there will
be any labor shortage here. With
the advent of the side delivery rake
and punching machines, as well as
efficient machinery for loading wag-
ons, the number of men employed
during haying season has been
materially lessened and the time re-
quired for harvesting greatly reduc-
ed.

STORED WATER
BEING UTILIZED
Carson River Getting Low
and Storage Water Now
Being Released

Owing to the scarcity of water in
the West Fork of the Carson river
for irrigation, the flow of which is
divided between the farmers of Al
pine county and Douglas county, it
was found necessary last week by
VIM. Settelmeyer, to draw of sever
al feet of water stored in the Crater
Lake reservoir to mature crops on
his Carson Valley farm. This stor-
age system is jointly owned by Mr..
Settelmeyer and State Senator VIM.
Dressler, and while rather limited in
it's storage capacity, is of extreme
benefit in season such as this.
Mr.. Settelmeyer is also interested
with the Neddenriep estate and
others of that locality in the Red
Lake storage dam, the waters from
which will be released during the
second crop season.
Fritz Dangberg, water commission
er of this district, reports that while
the flow in the East fork is rapidly
diminishing, it has held up better
than was anticipated. However,
a small amount of the reservoir
water has been released to increase
the present flow.
Water now stored in the reservoirs
of the Alpine company, will be re-
leased as soon as the first crop Of
hay is in the stack and the fields
made ready for the second crop. The
coming crop will receive about one
good wetting, it is believed, and after
that its growth will be matter of
doubt. A good rain, such as fire.
quently occur, may help, but that is
problematical and cannot be depend
ed upon.
Grain crops are doing well and un-
less something unforeseen happens, a
fair yield of wheat and barley will
be harvested.
