OhUi Fundsrberg Back From Wsnat-|Hh Tells of tho Scarcity of Water

l for Irrigated Land—Fruit Crop la Large.

Chaa. E. Funderberg, -wife and eon arrived this afternoon from Wenat-(faM, Waalh., and will spend the fall l& the vicilty of Surrey, where Mr. Tunderberg haa a fine farm home. He states that while he is doing well at Wenatchee, all la not a 'bed of roees, •aid he has always advised the North Dakota farmer who is comfortably fixed, to remain where he is.

Mr. Funderberg says that one of the drawbacks to the irrigated dis­trict is the lack of water. When the land was first sold there was plenty Of water, but as more of it became Irrigated, the water tvecame scarcer until now there is not nearly enough and the water users have petitioned the real estate company not to dis­pose of any more land until more water can be secured.

He says the fruit yield is very heavy this year. The early fruits are nice looking but tasteless. Those buying fruit lands there should be careful to buy those planted to the later fruits.

There are at least two tonne of heat prostration. We may know the first as common heat prostration; which la accompanied by heart failure. The second one might well be called heat fever. This is the common sun-Btroke, and is essentially a disturbance of the heat-regulating mechanism of the ani< mal body.

The animal body temperature, at any given moment, is Bknply a balance between heat produottpn and heat loss. Body temperature—1. e., heat production and heat loss—is regulated by certain nerve centers; and the ex­planation of heat fever is that these nerve centers become paralyzed, as a result of long continued stimulation and extreme effort to preserve normal body temperature in spite of surround' ing conditions. These centers become exhausted and insensible to the usual stimulations; the heat-regulating ma' chinery is "then no longer under con' trol, and there develops a rapid rise of temperature in the body.

Symptoms. This trouble appears very frequently after warning symp­toms showing that the horse is not right. When he is taken out of the stable, the horse seems just a little dull, and he may be panting or breath ing hurriedly, out of proportion to the amount of exercise he has taken. The horse may go to work, and do fairl; well for a time, but doea not seem quite natural. After working along in this way for a while, he gets worse rather suddenly; he may totter and fall. After this, there frequently ap pear violent symptoms, indicating brain disturbance. The horse Strug gles violently and throws his head around recklessly. Some cases do not show these violent symptoms. There frequently develops paralysis of the hind quarters.

Some cases develop very rapidly. The horse seems almost gone soon after he goes down. These cases may be more nopeful than the violent ones.

There is usually snoring respira

Horses working in field on hot day*, should be watered frequently.

tlon, indicating serious brain disturb­ance; and, in all these cases, the tem­perature is very high; the breathing la shallow and quick; the pulse is either very hurried or weak or some times alow and irregular. The akin is either dry and very hot or else cov­ered with a cold sweat; and the mus-oles under the akin tremble.

Cauee. Causes of sun-stroke nay be summed up under heat, bodily fa­tigue, lack of sufficient water, and hr-mldity of atmosphere.

Prevention. The owner is usuall; very foolish not to heed the warning symptoms. When a horse is panting on a hot day—perhaps on coming out of the stable—and seems sluggish, not quite up to his usual spirits, he should not be worked at all, or only with ex­treme caution.

The driver frequently has some warning, in the field, before the severe attack comes on. A horse which has been sweating profusely may sudden­ly stop sweating, and the skin get dry and harsh, without any ordinary ex­planation. When such a horse sud­denly quits sweating at work, on a hot day, It is time to give him water tea hurry, and to get him under shade.

Standing still for a long period of time, in the hot sun, seems to be evec more dangerous than moderate work for a previously well horse. In very hot weather, horses at work in the Held should be given water at least five times a day, with rather frequent Stops in the shade, if this is possible. Under the heading of prevention, it Should be remembered also that a horse that baa once suffered from heat fever la very susceptible, and is apt to have the same trouble over •gain.

Treatment ,The horse should be gotten Into the shade Just aB soon as possible, and have cold applications from the head to the tail, especially •long the back. An ordinary sprlnk-Ung-can does very nicely; but a hose with spray nozzle is still better. The oold water should be continued until tho temperature is reduced to about 103 F.; or, in other words, until there Is still left about two degrees of fever.

The horse should be given four to six ounces of whisky in a pint of wa­ter, or some similar stimulant, as soon as possible; this to be repeated in smaller doses about every half hour, and the limbs should be rubbed vig­orously, from the start until the horse Is better.

J Simple lethods of • • Pasteurizing lilt + i +

• + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The United States government has

found that the practice of pasteuris­ing milk is being followed by many dealers, and that it greatly roduees tho number of complaints they receive on account of sour milk. The treat­ment is simple, and consists of heating tho milk to a temperature of between 140 degrees and 160 degrees Fahren< heit, at which a large number of bac­teria in the milk are killed, and then cooling it to check the growth of oth­ers. If sufficient heat was used to kill all the germs, the product would be called sterilized milk, and it might be kept in good condition indefinitely. Higher heat, however, renders milk somewhat objectionable to many cw tomers, by changing Its taste and ap­pearance, and perhaps slightly reduc­ing its nutritive value.

Large dealers have special kinds of apparatus for pasteurizing milk on a large scale, but for the purposes of this article only the methods that oan be used economically in the home will be discussed. The pasteurization of milk is desirable when the milk con­tains a large number of harmful bac­teria, and especially when it is thought to contain infectious or disease-pro­ducing bacteria, such as those of ty­phoid fever, etc. The importance of doing the work thoroughly cannot be overstated. The temperature must be high enough, and must be retained long .enough, to kill disease-producing germs. Pasteurization in the home is an easy operation. Mothers should know how to do it, as the necessity may arise at any time. It is best, of course, to have clcan, wholesome milk that does not need to be treated, but sometimes this is impossible, and the only milk available for the little ones is from unknown sources and Is teem­ing with bacteria. Undoubtedly such milk has cost many young lives. It is estimated ihat one-third of all chil­dren die before they are three years old, and one of the leading causes of

STANFIELD, OREGON fO HAVE BIG (MPROVGMENTS

Following the news that the O. P.. & N. Co. is about to begin work on the railroad cut-off from Stanfleld to the Columbia river, oomes the an­nouncement that Balfour-Guthri* & Co. of Portland, one of tho largest ex­port shipping firms in the world, have decided to erect an Immense ware­house at Stanfleld for the conven­ience of the grain farmers in that vi­cinity.

The rapid development of the irri­gated land in the FurnWn-Coe Project has given an impetus to' grain grow­ing by dry farming on the land which cannot be irrigated, and the farmers in the country tributary have already pledged 180,000 bushels of grain for storage annually in the new ware­house. Country roads leading to the city are being improved1 and it Is be­coming more and more evident that Stanfleld is destined to become the great shipping center of this irrigat­ed district. This will be good new* to the many North Dakota people who have invested in the Furnish-Coe lands. This year's wheat crop in Umatilla county is running from thir­ty to fifty bushels per acre. The county will produce about five million bushels.

WHITIING-RAYN NUPTIALS. The marriage of U« Whiting and

The bride formerly taught school in Ward county and proved up a fine quarter of land near Stanley. Her old home is la Indiana.

The groom is the well known repre­sentative of the Whiting Mfg. Co., manufacturers of shirts. Both are very popular with a large number 0f people in thiB part of the Aate.

COMMITTEE DID NOT DO BUSINESS. It was expected that a convention

of the Republican precinct committee­men of Mountrail county would be held at Stanley Wednesday, but the chairman, M. C. Egan of Tagus, failed for one reason or another, to notify the committeemen of the meet­ing. But eight met. A motion was made to adjourn the meeting un­til Saturday, Aug. 20, which carried. The meeting will be held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the day in the same building in which the Demo­cratic committeemen will meet, and at about the same hour and the same day. There's likely to be clashing of arms.

The woman has been staying in Bismarck recently and has been notified. Her brother is very ill, and the mother wishes to have her daughter come home at once.

I Pasteurizing apparatus.

this mortality is unwholesome milk. Bad milk cannot bo made perfect by pasteurization, but the danger from Its consumption can be lessened.

The process of pasteurization, de­scribed by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture in Farmers'-. Bul­letin No. 42, is simple. The necessary apparatus is inexpensive, and is as follows: One or more bottles nearly full of milk are plugged with dry ab­sorbent or other clean cotton, and placed In an upright position in a vessel having a false bottom and con- i talning water enough to rise above the milk in the bottles. (See left side of cut). The vessel Is closed, placed on the stove, and heated until the water Is 166 degrees Fahrenheit, or •von to the boiling point, if special pre­cautions are deemed necessary. It Is tbsB removed and kept tightly covered for half an hour. A heavy cloth over the vessel will help to retain the heat. The milk bottlea are then taken out, oooled as quickly as possible by cold water or ice, and kept in a cold place. Milk thus prepared may be expected to keep twenty-four hours, and should preferably be used within that time. The cotton plugs should be kept as dry as possible, and should not be re­moved until the milk is to be used. A covered tin pall answers very well for the larger vessel. (See right of eut).1 An inverted tin pie-plate, with holes punchcd through it, can serve as a false bottom. A hole can be punched In the cover of the pail, a cork insert­ed, and a chemical thermometer put through the cork so that the bulb dips in the water, thus enabling one to watch the temperature closely without removing the cover; or an ordinary dairy thermometer may be used from time to time by removing the lid.

This method of pasteurizing is so simple and plain that the Extension Division at University Farm, St. Paul, regards it as of great importance to the farmers of the Northwest, and ad­vises every family to cut this article out and lay it away where it may be bad when necessity seems to arise for Its use.
