Show THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH. UTAH wm In a new size package MILK PRODUCED FOR MARKET Montnty Reports Show Wide Variation Through Year Cost in Wmter la Quite High. (Prepared by the United States Oepart-- . ment of Agriculture) In winter the cost of feed, bedding nmkpastuie amounts to 39 per cent of the yearly cost of producing milk in a typical Vermont dairy section, while in summer it amounts to 15.9 per cent, specialists of the United States De; partment of Agriculture found as a result of a study covering two years in a section of that state where milk vas produced for market The report of this study Is now published in Department Bulletin 923, Unit Requirements for Producing Milk in Vermont. While the figures obtained show the requirements of producing milk in that particular section, and may be approximate of the requirements in similar sections, the specialists point out that they do not apply to dairy sections w here other conditions and methods of management prevail. It was found that 31.1 pounds of concentrates were required to produce 100 pounds of milk in winter, while to produce the same' amount in summer only 8.7 pounds were necessary. Other this for producing requirements amount of milk in winter were: Hauling and grinding concentrates, 2 cents ; dry rOughage, 129.9 pounds; silage and othr succulent roughage, 191.3 pounds; bedding, 11.2 pounds; man labor, 2.7 hours; horse labor, 0.6 hour ; other costs, 55.5 cents. In summer the unit requirements for producing 100 pounds of milk other than concentrates were: Hauling and grinding concentrates, 0.5 of a cent; dry roughage. 18.7 pounds; silage and other succulent roughage, 27.8 pounds ; pasture. 0.1 of an acre; man labor, 2 AUL BUNYAN of course you know all about him I No? Why, thats too bad. F CSr That means that youve ftever been 'around In the big forests of the West and Northwest. The lumberjacks never tire of talking about his big do- - iJ ings. SN And If you dont know about Paul and his doings, probably you never heard about the winter of the blue snow. No? Well, that's too bad, too. Nobody seems to be able to give the exact year of the winter of the blue snow, but it must have been some time ago. Anyway, most oi the stones about the coming of Paul begin: It was the winter of the blue snow, y know, an Paul In fact, the winter of the blue snow may hae been as far back as the s building of Solomon's temple in and that must have been away back something like 1,000 B. C. Anyway, when Solomon decided, to build, he made a deal with Hfram, king of Tyre, for some whopping big timbers. Ieri'ips you remember what Solomon said to Hiram: Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants ; and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants, according to all that thou shalt appoint; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timbers like unto the Sidonlans., And-ithe fifth and sixth chapters of I Kings, it is written that Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees, according to all his desire. Of course the one place for Hiram to cut cedars of Lebanon lay ready to hand. But when it came to the firs, Hiram had to look around a bit Finally he decided that the country up around Washington and Oregon way had exactly the kind of fir timber that Solomon wanted. The only trouble was that there didnt seem to be any easy way to get the big trees down to the ocean. So Hiram hunted up Paul Bunyan and got him to go up there and straighten things out. Paul found it an easy job. There was a lot of water lying around loose east of the Cascades and he just pulled the mountains apart so that the water could run down to the sea. Capt. Robert Gray of Boston, the first man to carry - the American Flag around the world, discovered in 1788 A. D. this river that Paul made for King Hiram, And he called It the Columbia. This little Job of making the Columbia was probably pulled off before Paul or rather Babe, his big ox started the Mississippi running. Any-wathere is this difference between till two Jobs the Mississippi was an accident. You see, one season Paul worked so hard at his lumbering that - he got mighty thirsty. So he took his spade and cast an eye about for a likely spot for a reservoir and scooped out a few shovelfuls and made the Great Lakes. Then He set Babe to work carrying big tanks of water from Lake Superior across to where he whs logging. One day a tank fell off and sprung so many leaks that . they left it lie where it was. They .didnt care if it did "make the Mississippi. . ' Well, now to get back to the blue snow. According to the lumberjacks who sit about the..big stove after dinner after a hard days work in the Jeru-Mnrt- , zy Har woods, the blue snow was quite soir3 considerable snow. It had fallen so persistently and piled up so deep that all the camps were snowed in. Why, if a lumberjack wanted to get to the cooks shanty for a snack between And of meals, he had to tunnel. course logging had stopped. llelfo, the camp I The hail booinel like a clap of thunder. It was night and the men were sitting around the big stove in the living room. A small gale came dow n the chimney and blew the' ashes out on the floor. Still, it was a pleasant, friendly sort of hail, at that. Can you take me in for the night? boomed the great voice. They told him 'to come in. Presently the toe of a great boot was shoving the snow away from the door. Well, the man was taller than ten cook shanties, so of course he couldnt very well get Ihe stranger through the door. seemed a bit disappointed, but not at all discouraged and he sang out: All right, boys. Im Paul Bunyan, and I see Ill have to build my own camp. Just pass me out a few hogs to roast for my supper and Ill go right to work. Paul Bunyan was a nice looking fellow, with a big black moustache and He had with him sparkling eyes. Babe, his ox that was seven ax handles wide between herns and was constructed with a hinge in its middle so that it could get around corners and turns in the road. And Paul and h team. BeBabe were a fore morning they had built a great camp so great that nobody ever succeeded In making the circuit of It. He age before he got always died of'-olaround. Paul brought in a prize camp of lumberjacks. They were so good at end of their business that before the ff the first day they had cut-oeverything on the sections along the river. So the next day, before breakfast, Paul had Babe haul away all the d logged sections and haul back sections in their place. AH lumbermen, you know, like to work close to the river. Yes; Pauls men worked hard. But Of course they he fed them well. were fond of pancakes. So Paul told Big Ole, the only man in the world strong enough to shoe Babe, to fix up a pancake griddle that would do the business right. Big Ole did a good job. The griddle was so big that on a foggy day you couldnt see across it. And when it was going full blast Paul had to get a dozen of his men to tie sides of pork on their feet and skate around- - It to keep it, greased.

And when it came to prunes why, when Paul served prunes for dinner he had to set a gang to work with shovels to clean up, the prune pits. Paul vas a mighty 'accommodating fellow. He often loaned Babe to a camp that was behind in its work. Babe always got the job over in one day. The big ox had to, for it always ate up all the fodder in the camp at its first meal. Paul, v hen the trees were extra big, would tackle them himself. Hed pick up an armful and carry them over to the big sledge so that Babe could haul them down to the river and dump them in.

Of course when a chap is like Paul Bunyan, he gets a lot of stories fastened on him that dont belong. There is that yarn about the winter on the Onion river. The snow was awful deep that season. And after Paul had finished cutting and the spring came along he found that hed have to go The snow over the ground again. was so deep that his sawyers had been cutting 30 feet above the ground. Paul and his men were no such , chumps as that. Then theres the story that blames Paul for catching off the real big catfish in the Mississippi. They say he used to strip a big pine on the bank, tie a, hawser to its top, bait his hook with a live porker, chain half a dozen in case be big pines to his tree-ro- d should get a big cat and let her go. The worst of it was that when he did get a real big one and it went down stream for a hundred miles or so, Paul always ran along the bank till he caught up.
