A movement is on foot by the farmers of the east side of Bear river to purchase the Hammond canal, the source of water supply for all the land between Collinston and Brigham City. That the loan department of the state land office would strain every possible point to accommodate farmers who need loans for machinery, is the declaration of Arthur Kuhn, the secretary.

In the care and use of the cream separator the necessity of thoroughly cleaning and scalding it every time It Is used cannot be too greatly emphasized. Cream from an unclean separator has very poor keeping qualities, soon develops a decided "off flavor and becomes second grade. Cream of this kind brings financial loss to the purchaser whether he is selling on a basis or not. Poor cream quality makes poor butter and poor butter returns a low price to the producer, whether the creamery is or otherwise. The financial loss caused by unclean separators is frequently not fully appreciated because it Is indirect; It is, however, none the less real. Good business management of the dairy therefore demands that the following rules be observed In using a separator: 1.

Then the dips and others who Infested that thoroughfare would hold up any passerby who they thought had anything that looked line money concealed on his person. But the gentry and Btrong-arme- d fellows have found other fields more lucrative, according to a New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The big street is now the stamping grounds of weary Willies and bums whose only vocation is to panhandle the price of a drink. So one day recently, when the old familiar cry of Stop thief was heard the Bowery was almost paralyzed ; everybody stood still and watched for the culprit. Soon they saw a tall, lean and hungry looking youth darting under the elevated pillars, but they made no effort to catch him. When the cops arrived on the scene the man had disappeared. Where did he go? bellowed one with a club, who held It threateningly over several men who stood in a doorway. Did you see that guy running this way? Where did he go? Come on, now. But no one had seen the thief. While the cops were making their search apathetic, cringing men came from the different doorways to learn what the excitement was all about. My God, remarked one frowsy looking individual, as the cops departed, I was scared it was some guy offering a Job. And appreciative chuckles went up along the line. light-fingere- FOUNDED 1602 d Canaries Are Hardy. The canary is a very adaptable little bird, and their biographer says that they seem to thrive in any climate whore not exposed to too severe weather Conditions, and, in spite of the long period they have been protected and held in captivity, they are capable of enduring a surprising degree of cold when hardened to it. In England it is not unusual to find them in outdoor aviaries throughout the year. They also seem, he says, to be able to reestablish themselves in a wild state under favorable conditions. In 1909 a brood of domestic canaries was released ou Midway island, a small, sandy islet in the Hawaiian group. By 1914 they had Increased until it was estimated that they numbered about 1,000.

Spooky things happen and sometimes puzzle people. Occasionally they can be accounted for, aB in this case, notes Coppers Magazine. One morning early in August Sayles Turner, an Eastern farmer, went to work In his hay field. As the morning was warm, Turner removed his vest and hnng it on a small bush. When he quit work (ate in the afternoon he went for his vest, but it was gone. In the pocket of the vest was $20 in bills. Turner decided it bad been stolen. A few days ago Turner and his hired man went to the woods, five miles from his house, to cut wood. The first, tree cut was a large hemlock. On a limb near the top of the tree they saw an object fluttering in the breeze. The tree was felled and the men went to the object. It was Turners lost1 vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollars were in the vest pockets.
