Reports of a fine rain that hit the
north end of the county the last of
the week is certainly good news. That
portion of the country has suffered
long from the drought and we are
glad it is broken at laBt. Some few
weeks of warm weather should help
to start the grass on the range, as
well as bring along what wheat has
been planted this fall. Here Is hop
ing that more wet weather will be
forthcoming.
Oscar Davis got himself badly
bruised up one day last week when
his car turned over with him. He was

While he is sore, he considers himself
fortunate that no bones were broken
and that he was not seriously hurt.

Heppner, forsaking that district for
the irrigated belt of Umatilla county.
When ye editor was a young man,
sticking type and playing an occasion
al game of baseball around Heppner,

little about the game once in a while.

Unbleached muslin in a medium
thin grade makes very satisfactory
inexpensive curtain material. Be
cause of its rich cream color it is
more pleasing than a pure white cot
ton and is bo neutral that it may be
combined with a wide range of col
ors. One way of using this material
is to cut out medallions from short
lengths of cretonne and applique them
onto the unbleached muslin in a bor
der across the lower edge of the va
lance and the side hangings.
So one convenience is of greater
value in saving the housewife than
running water in the home. The per
son who must carry water from an
outside pump adds many tons of lift
ing to her daily work. - She needs
running water in the kitchen quite
as much as it is needed for the live
stock. If the wash boiler is filled through
a piece of old hose attached to a
nearby faucet, wash day will be much
less tiresome. This saves lifting or
carrying water.
The gears of a Dover egg beater
cleaned with a little alcohol prevents
black smudges.
Painting the lower cellar stair white
avoids fear of misstep.
The dust bag of a vacuum cleaner
is emptied easily by placintf the
mouth in a large sack instead of
shaking the dust into a newspaper.
A step-saving kitchen may be had
by having a hook for everything and
everything on its hook.
Buttering the, nose f the cream
pitcher prevents the cream from drip
ping and making spots on the table
cloth.
Kitchen scissors may be used for
cutting up chicken, shredding lettuce,
chopping raisins, and marshmallows.
Rub the blades and the fingers with
a little butter when preparing sticky
food.
Variation in color and texture
makes meal planning interesting. It
is better to serve creamed chicken
and potato croquettes, or fried chick
en and escalloped potatoes, than to
serve two creamed or partly liquid
foods such as creamed or escalloped
potatoes and creamed chicken in the
same course. It is better to hsve one
fond cut in the form of cubes, as
chicken a la king, than to serve a
vegetable cut in the same way. The
same thing also applies to mashed'
foods.

WEEKLY CREAM

Prices for Butterfat, Says
Creamery Manager.
W. Claude Cox, manager of the
Morrow County Creamery company
here, says many farmers are finding
their weekly cream chick a big fac
tor of their income these days at the
prevailing butterfat orices, 67 cents
for number one fat, f. o. b. Heppner.
Mr. Cox declares now is a haymaking
time for dairymen, and many are in
creasing their herds to take advan
tage of the big price.
'It doesn t take many cream checks
to pay for cows at the present but
terfat quotations," he says, "and al
though feed is none too plentiful,
farmers are finding that they are no
long in reaping their harvest."
Right now the local creamery can
use a lot more cream, according to
the manager, who also declares they
must have A-grade cream to keep the
uniformly high quality of their but
ter. In urging farmers to keep their
cream up to this standard, Mr. Cox
has issued the following instructions:
1. Separate milk immediately after
milking and cool cream immediately
after skimming. Do not mix warm
cream with cold cream. Cool as quick
ly as possible. Use water; it cools
cream 21 times as fast as air. j
2. Wash and sterilize the separa- j
tor and utensils after each milking, j
First flush separator with skim milk.
Wash with washing powder. Rinse
with scalding water and place parts ;
in sun.
3. Keep cream in cool place, free
from objectionable odors and flavors, i
Have cooling tank to keep the cream
in that can be connected with water
supply. Cream readily absorbs fla
vors, such as come from vegetables,
musty cellars.
4. Ship frequently. A -Grade cream
must be, shipped every five days. It
is better to ship at least three times
weekly in summer and twice weekly
in winter.
5. For best results skim a cream
that will test not less than 30.
6. Stir cream occasionally while
cooling. This will cool it more rap
idly and make a uniform body that
is less liable to error in sampling.
7. Milk with dry hands. Clean the
cows before milking. Remove milk
from stables as soon an possible after
milking. Use small top milk pails.
Mr. Cox expressly wishes local
cream sellers to keep in mind that he
is paying them just as much for their
cream at 67 cents as the Portland
creameries are at 69 cents, as the
shipper must pay express on his
cream to the outside creameries. He
also gives butter to cream sellers
pound for pound for their fat in
quantities needed, obviating the nec
essity of churning on the farm.
WANTED To rent ranch 'in Morrow
county; prefer near Heppner. Laur

Mr. Farmer
Your Attention, Please
?
NO DOUBT you come to town once-in a while,
once a week, once every two weeks, or at least
once a month. - Did you ever stop to figure this
costs you money? And have you provided a source
of revenue for this purpose? Let your cows do it.
They mean many
More Dollars for You!
BY HAVING a five-gallon can of cream to bring
along each time, your necessary expenditures
( will be cared for, and enough left to buy the missus
a new house dress. The labor of churning is also
done away with, keeping the bloom in her cheeks
for several more years, as we give you butter
weight for weight in return for your butterfat in
amounts needed. And our butter is always the
sanje uniformly good quality that only mixed blends
of cream can give. Ask any user. But to do this
we must have A-Grade cream. See reader in an
other column on how to produce it.
It will be to your advantage to call and talk
it over.
