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.

There Is probably no medfcine made
that Is relied upon with more implicit
confidence than Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dur
ing the third of a century In which it
has been in use. people have learned
thatjt is the one remedy that never
fails. When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take. Fori

The "Boos" Cow In the Herd.
In every herd of miwh (here in some
one of f ho number Unit takes the initi
ative. 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.
