RECOMMEND USE OF MILKING MACHINE STATE EXPERIMENTERS DECLARE THEM SATISFACTORY AFTER MAKING MANY TESTS Profitable in Dairies, and Farmers Milking Twenty or More Cows Should Use Them.—No Choice Between Several Makes. The modern milking-machine is a practical and safe labor-saving device, says Bulletin 311, issued by the State Experiment Station. This has been proved by the results of carefully conducted experiments at our own and other experiment stations, and is also borne out by the experience of practical dairy farmers in all parts of the country during the past dozen years or more. At the present time there are eight different makes of milking machines on the market in this state, any one of which may be confidently expected to do satisfactory work in the hands of a careful operator. Failures in machine-milking have been rather numerous in the past, from a variety of causes, chief among them being perhaps the fact that the owner did not fully understand the mechanics of the machines or appreciate the necessity of such as cost of up-keep, depreciation, simplicity of mechanism and of cleaning. The various machines on the market differ considerably with regard to these points, and it is evident that no one machine stands out above the others in all respects; also that any farmer with a fair degree of intelligence and resourcefulness need not hesitate to install a milking-machine in his dairy if he keeps twenty or more cows. In many cases it may prove advantageous to adopt machine-milking also in dairies of twelve to fifteen cows, as it will make the owner less dependent upon or entirely independent of hired help. The actual saving in the cost of milking by machine over hand-milking is, however, greater in the case of large herds than with small ones and will, in general, be in proportion to the size of the herd. It has been shown that with proper care, and with careful, prompt hand-stripping, milking machines will have no appreciable effect one way or the other on the dairy production of the cows or on the general welfare of the herd, but they will not long render satisfactory service with careless handling and lack of cleanliness. For this reason, milking-machines are most likely to prove successful when operated by the owner himself-or by help directly interested in their success.

At the present time there are eight different makes of milking machines on the market in this state, any one of which may be confidently expected to do satisfactory work in the hands of a careful operator. Failures in machine-milking have been rather numerous in the past, from a variety of causes, chief among them being perhaps the fact that the owner did not fully understand the mechanics of the machines or appreciate the necessity of care in operating and keeping them clean, or of following up the machine-milking promptly by careful stripping. Of late years the failures have, however, greatly decreased in number, as the machines have been further improved in simplicity and efficiency, and the conditions for their successful operation are better understood. It is safe to say that a dairyman who introduces machine-milking into his herd with any standard make of machine on the market is now as much on trial himself as is the machine. The best remedy for failures in machine-milking is to become thoroughly familiar with the machine adopted, its adaptation to individual cows, and the requirements for keeping it in a mechanically perfect and sanitary condition. Milking-machines have not as yet been as generally adopted in the dairy districts of our country as, for instance, in Australia and New Zealand. According to reliable reports received, there are but few dairies of over thirty cows in these countries that are not milking by mechanical means, and many smaller dairies are likewise using milking-machines. With the present scarcity of reliable, efficient milkers, and the high cost of labor, feed, and dairy supplies, the necessity of reducing the cost of milk production becomes greater than ever before. It is possible to do this by either or both of the following methods: By increasing the production of the dairy herd through culling, use of good pure-bred sires and modern methods of feeding and management, or by reducing the operating expenses of the dairy. The milking-machine is an important aid in reducing these expenses. The days of hand-skimming of milk are long gone by, and everything points to the fact that we have now entered upon an era of machine-milking. It is the next prove successful when operated by the owner himself-or, by help directly interested in their success. SANTA BARBARA MAN SADLY DISAPPOINTED Trunk Supposed to be Filled with Booze Contained Only Tombstone. Fate played a scurvy trick on John Anderson of Santa Barbara while he was in Seattle on a visit from which he has just returned to his home town. In these arid days a man who still likes a little liquid refreshment now and then cannot afford to overlook a chance to add a little to his store when he sees what appears to be a good chance. So, when Anderson strayed into an auction sale in the northern city and heard a vociferous and perusing auctioneer busily calling for bids on an unclaimed trunk in an assortment of baggage he was selling, and noticed little wisps of excelsior sticking out from under the lid, he became interested at once. Surely, he thought, the excelsior must be in the trunk to protect a line of bottled goods neatly bedded in it. In these dry days bottled goods cost money, so here was a chance. There was spirited bidding for the trunk, too, and that was another suspicious circumstance to the mind of Anderson. Joining the eager bidders, Anderson landed the trunk o na bid of $75. Losing very little time, he removed his trunk to a place where he could inspect its contents in becoming privacy. It took him only a few minutes to discover he was possessor of an excellent and durable tombstone, of no possible use to him—at the present time, at least. Anderson brought his tombstone to Santa Barbara. It would be fitting, in the circumstances, he believes, to set it at one of the numerous graves in which old John Barleycorn was symbolically buried. Therefore, he is open to propositions from anyone inclined to acquire a perfectly good milking machine. The sunspot 17, and will be a eye.

"Weeks will pass." of the following methods: By increasing the production of the dairy herd through culling, use of good pure-bred sires and modern methods of feeding and management, or by reducing the operating expenses of the dairy. The milking-machine is an important aid in reducing these expenses. The days of hand-skimming of milk are long gone by, and everything points to the fact that we have now entered upon an era of machine-milking. It is the next step in the economical, efficient management of fair-sized or large dairies, and the experience of other dairy countries in regard to milking-machines will undoubtedly be duplicated in this country. The investigations of this and other experiment stations have shown that milking-machines properly operated do not injure the udders of cows, or cause garget or other udder diseases. Udder troubles are often due to causes that are not in any way associated with the method of milking practiced; they will occur at times in machine-milked, as well as in hand-milked herds, although less frequently when ordinary care is taken in operating the machine. The best way to avoid troubles of this kind in case of machine-milking is to remove the machine as soon as no more milk comes down, and to finish the milking by hand without unnecessary delay. Prompt and careful hand stripping is a most important factor in successful machine-milking, even though the machine used leaves only very small amounts of milk to be stripped out. In the selection of the particular make of machine, a number of points should receive consideration, besides first cost and nearness to service agen- efficient and durable tombstone, of no possible use to him—at the present time, at least. Anderson brought his tombstone to Santa Barbara. It would be fitting, in the circumstances, he believes, to set it at one of the numerous graves in which old John Barleycorn was symbolically buried. Therefore, he is open to propositions from anyone inclined to acquire a perfectly good tombstone. DEVELOPMENT WORK ON OLD SPANISH TRAIL Ancient Road from Florida to California Being Rebuilt. The old Spanish trail from Florida to California, which passes through here, is giving evidence of becoming a great highway. Development work is proceeding on numerous links in the system, concrete, brick and other paved roadbeds. are building, big bridges are nearing the construction stage, and many bad spots are being smoothed out. This region is vitally interested in this highway, for the vogue of the overland traveler is growing and the highway that connects Florida, Mobile, New Orleans, San Antonio, El Paso, San Diego and Los Angeles will bring many pleasant visitors to this community. Over $100,000,000 in bonds have been voted, or are in process of voting, considerable portions of which are for highway work on this trail. At San Antonio, November 14, 15, the general annual convention will be held of interested workers and members along the 2,900 miles of GARCIA IS In addition to its pitched out of high avenue, Santa Ana cisco Garcia, who face with an ala throwing her trunk and setting fire who swore to a coca, charging him discovered, she s legally his wife.

These conventions are not restricted to members, but are open to everyone interested in seeing the trail developed. A delegation from here means one more impulse toward bringing this section to the front. The central offices of the Old Spanish Trail association are at San Antonio, and in every county where live leaders can be found, members are being enlisted and a county club is being formed. All the power of centralized effort today is being put behind the Old Spanish Trail to build it up and to beautify it. As a tourist highway it is without a peer. It is lined with historical associations from end to end. As the great military highway so much discussed, it embraces San Diego, the military and naval headquarters of California; San Antonio, the greatest military center in the United States and the gateway to Mexico; New Orleans, the central southern military outlet; and Pensacola, the southern naval base. Historically it reaches back 400 years to the fascinating exploits of the Spanish cavalier and the heroic ministrations of the Franciscan Friars—and this history, like the trail, spans the continent. St. Augustine in Florida is the oldest city in the United States. Santa Fe, New Mexico is next. San Diego in California, marks the beginning of California and of the white conquest of the Pacific coast. Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are old mission centers and many of these wonderful mission buildings still stand along the trail. In Louisiana is the romantic country of Evangeline and New Orleans she has learned that one of the vital requisites in getting married is to have a ceremony performed, after the license is obtained. Now, the point is that she says she was never present at the solemnization of a wedding ceremony with Garcia. She suspects that Garcia used the license, with her name on it, to marry someone else. The woman appeared at the courthouse, with a murderous-looking, old-fashioned, single-action Colt's revolver, which she claims Garcia tried to take away from her home. Garcia has not yet been arrested. Sheriff Jackson states that Garcia makes furtive visits to his home in the night. It was while on one of these flitting visits, Jackson states, that Garcia attempted to get the revolver away from the woman. The woman is in great fear of Garcia and says she will not feel safe again until he is placed under arrest. WILL BEGIN SOON ON RIVER DIVERSION Santa Ana's Mouth to be Switched Through New Channel. With material already on the ground for necessity spur tracks and construction materials on the way for jetties, the stage is all set for early beginning of work on the diversion of the Santa Ana river from Newport Harbor, provided for under the half-million dollar harbor bond issue approved by Orange county voters on June 30. Reports on progress to date were received by the county harbor commission, at a meeting held Wednesday at Newport Beach when Superintendent When you are going to slow up or stop it is not enough to throw over a nerveless wreck of a hand and trust to Providence that the man behind will understand that you are intending to stop and not just brushing a fly off the side of the car. Put some pep into your arm signals, says the Auto Club and there will be fewer smash-ups on the roads and streets. HUN BULLETS FAILED TO KILL THIS COON New York Colored Soldier Most Wounded Man in Service. If Sergeant Jack Mason, a colored soldier of Watertown, N.Y., long stationed at Madison barracks in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, started showing the scars he received in battle, he would have an all-day task ahead of him. Mason has been hit, punctured and perforated by bullets about 350 times in the service of his country. No less than 10 bones in his body have been replaced by silver plates, the original bones having been blown out of place or made unfit for further use by German bullets. Mason served in Company M of the Fougteenth Infantry and was no novice at the soldier game when he was sent into the trenches of France. He had been through a Philippine campaign and had been shot twice there. He was on the job at Bellieu Wood, and his companions say that for a minute he appeared to be the one target for all the German machine gunners and hand grenade throwers. PREPARE TO MEET FORTHCOMING DISASTER Prophet Declares Many Things Will Happen to Us in December. An eastern weather prophet who also claims to be an astronomer, says December is going to witness all sorts of storms, floods and disasters because the planets have turned bolshevik and are on a rampage. This is what he says: "The planets are becoming Bolsheviki, and there is going to be something doing in December. The planets will be grouped so closely together in December that they will cause a huge and unprecedented sunspot, and as a result all kinds of dire things will be popping loose on earth. There will be great storms and volcanic disturbances. Six of the planets will form the group. It will be the mightiest planetary group in history." "The sunspot will appear December 17, and will be visible to the naked eye. Heretofore no sunspot has been visible to the naked eye. The sunspot will be a gigantic explosion of flaming gases, leaping hundreds of miles out into space, and the sunspot will be strong enough in electro-magnetic energy to cause a great disturbance in the atmosphere on the earth. There will be hurricanes, lightning and collossal rains." "Weeks will pass before the weathorizont." Heretofore no sunspot has been visible to the naked eye. The sunspot will be a gigantic explosion of flaming gases, leaping hundreds of miles out into space, and the sunspot will be strong enough in electro-magnetic energy to cause a great disturbance in the atmosphere on the earth. There will be hurricanes, lightning and colossal rains. "Weeks will pass before the weather on earth will become normal. There will be gigantic lava eruptions, great earthquakes, and floods and fearfully cold weather. I am backed up in these scientific deductions and forecasts by eminent astronomers such as Professor Albert Porta. "The influence the planets will have on the sun can be explained in this manner: Whenever two or more planets wheel into such positions that they pull together on the sun, their united pull causes the sun's gases to explode. Six planets will unite their pull on December 17. They are Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune." GARCIA IS BAD HOMBRE In addition to having been violently pitched out of her home on Cypress avenue, Santa Ana, recently by Francisco Garcia, who also hit her in the face with an alarm clock, besides throwing her trunk out in the street and setting fire to it, Maria Garcia, who swore to a complaint against Garcia, charging him with battery, has discovered she says, that she is not legally his wife. The woman has a marriage license on which appear her name and that of Garcia. This license was issued in Imperial county. Since then it seems another forward step is just being taken in the establishment of a new meteorological station at Newport Harbor, either at a point on the bluff near the county road entering Newport Beach or else on the Palisades, at the harbor entrance. A meteorological expert formerly stationed at Santa Monica is moving to Newport and will conduct the new station, authorized by the government through Ford A. Carpenter, pioneer weather man of Los Angeles. Complete study will be made and data taken on winds, tides, fogs, etc., warning signals will be given, and much other valuable service will be performed by the new station, so valuable to the development of any harbor project. PUT SOME MORE PEP IN YOUR ARM SIGNALS Motorists Should be Careful in Giving Their Warning Sign. Limp and langual hand signals are causing lots of near-accidents throughout the southern part of the State, and motorists are warned to stiffen up a bit to avoid trouble in giving the arm signals, says the Automobile Club of Southern California. If you are going to turn to the left, with a left hand drive, stick your arm straight out as though you meant it, says the club, and don't flop it over the side of the car like a damp spaghetti. Don't raise a dangling wrist and waving flipper in the air if you are going to turn to the right, but put up a firm arm at an angle which cannot be misinterpreted.
