LEXINGTON IS A PRETTY GOOD TOWN s i 1 VOL. II LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY MAY 23, 1907 WILL LEXINGTON ' CELEBRATE Mayor W E, Leach Informs us that a number of the people have spoken to him regarding a Fourth of ' July celebration. It seems that many prefer spending the Fourth in Lexing ton than going elsewhere. A "meeting should be called In the near future and if it is decided to hold a celebration or picnic here it Is none too early to ap point committees and get to work. It Is not the intention of The Wheat field to dictate yet It seems to us that with the present pro?;pects for a good crop the people'will feel like celebrat ing and having a good time before starting the harvest. Whatever is done should be done at once as many will decide now where they will go on ! that day. Wake up and get busy.

Slie in the first one to lend the rest through n fewe Into a cultivated field. If there In n Kate in the yard which tins been left partly latched Khe will he mire to find it and lead the herd into the garden or down the road. To Bay the least, tills kind of a cow Is a constant originator of trouble, and It Keeins to be her pleasure to do any thing but chew her end and produce n good mens of milk in the dairy. Where a cow with an unruly nature Is only an ordinary producer nhe will fill a much better place in the beef barrel than in the dairy herd. This Is a profitable and quick manner of getting rid of a constant source of aggravation In the herd. MORROW COUNTY IS THE BEST Home 'Churning. A barrel or box churn is the best for the home dairy. When the cream is ripe, scald the churn and cool to the temperature of the cream, which should be from 5(5 .degrees to (it degrees, ac- , cording to conditions. If color Is used, ! It should be put in the cream when it I is put In the churn. Turn the chum so as to get the greatest concussion ; possible. The butter should come In r from thirty to fifty minutes. After the butter comes draw the buttermilk, ' using a strainer to .catch the particle of gutter that may escape with the buttermilk, then wash with cold wa ter, using about the same quantity M there was of cream. The following letter was received by the editor which shows the impressiom this community made on the members of the recent excursion of Portland Business Men: Portland, Oregon, May 20, 1907 Mr. S. A. Thomas, Lexington, Oregon, My dear Mr. Thomas: In looking over the souvenirs of my trip to Eastern Oregon, I find the sheet of welcome to the Portland busi ness men with the compliments of "The Wheatfield." I want to com pliment you and your people upon the spirit of life I found in your little city, and I was convinced from what I saw, that one of the most prosperous , por tions of this state lies along the line of the Heppner branch, and of the grow ing towns, your Jittle city of Lexington is among the best Wishing your city, your people and yourself personally, continued prosperi ty, I remain, Yours very sincerely, H. M Cake. The "Cowy Odor" In Milk. If the cow be kept clean and the miik he drawn in a cleanly manner in to a cjean pall by a clean person' and be removed from the barn shortly aft er and immediately strained there is io reason why winter milk should have a "cowy odor." This "cowy odor" is usually caused by filth which drops into the milk during the milkinj or is absorbed by the milk from the foul air in the stable. Milk should be re moved from the stable before it cools to the temperature of the, stable air; otherwise it will absorb taints rapidly. If sent to a winter creamery, it should be delivered at least three times a week. If manufactured on the farm it should be made into butter as soon as possible after it is drawn from the cow. The longer that milk is kept be fore being made Into butter the poorer will be the product Professor J. B. Reynolds.
