A. 3. Wilson's -Four Motion
Feed Patent.

1t Is stated in recent press dispatches
from WashingtOn that the Senate Com
mittee OH Patents has decided against
the extension of the above patent, for
which extension application was made
about two Years ago
We shall now, doubtless, be surfeited
with editorials by the wise men of the
press Oh the decline in the prices of
sewing machines, which MUST (of
course.) resiit from the failure to OBJ
tain this extension. They are ut it al
ready, and their highly favored ef1u-
sions concerning the enorHities prac-
ticed on the people of this country by
the sewing machine companies, will
prove standard clippings for country
editors for some time to come. Thus
the glad news will rustic in newspaper
paragraphs throughout the land, and
the people who believe"the wise men
always know just what they are writ
ing about, will hail the approaching
event and compose themselves to wait
for its coming. And they will wait,
and WAIT. 1t will, be years, !" and it
may be forever" in coming.
There is ample vitality left in the
other combination patents to uphold
prices for years to come, and so long
as the people themselves refuse to
" come down"-with cash in hand
so long will the prices stay up.
Do the people realize that they them
selves are the main agents in sustain
ing prices where they are? Let any
one open salesroom for the retailing
of machines at halfprice, either for
cash or "on time,' and he will then,
just before he goes into bankruptcy, or
starves to death, realize what ails him.
If he sells Ion time" the resulting
losses, and expenses ofIcollections will
surely bankrupt him, and if he makes
his terms cash the nearest pawnbroker
will prove his best customer, for the
altogether lovely terms $40 down,
and So. per month" or, your note for
one year." for machine at the full
price, will beat his "half price, all
cash" terms. ninety-nine times i'll a
hundred.
In either case he will not fail to lose,
but he will lose to fail. 4.
Half price and long time don't match
and they won't work well together !;
therefore, as the people will have long
time, they must give full price for it,
as F." time is money" "A. NJ.

Wednesday, p. MIR. c. Baldwin
of Nelson, took up the next subject:
Selecting and breeding Dairy Stock"
Exhibited several illustrations, by dia-
grams, of the best, and one of the
poorest cows he could find, the cows
were photographed, then copied by
crayon by an expert. He stated that
about one-third of cows were good
dairy cows. Holstein, Ayershire and
Jerseys were the best breeds. Their
size, medium ;color, variagated ;dispo-
sition restless, nervous, but not vicious.
The best cow on diagram yielded "a
pounds OF milk per day; poorest, Is
pounds. The best cows had small
heads, dishing face, cyelids flat, necks
thin and short, shoulder blade thin at
the top, belly large, shoulder lower
than the hip, heavy coat of hair, limbs
crooked. Chime, double or single !;
double indicates good COWS; vein frem
udder large and crooked indicates an
extra COW; hair on back of udder
stands upwards. Thi. part of the
Dairymens Convention was made
very interesting by Mr.. Baldwin
Adjourned until evening.

ed in their factory by bricking up the
lower story, leaving air cell; found
cheese cured bstter in lower story than
in the upper.
S. Olds thought cheese should not
be pressed as hard for upper rooms.
Mr.. Green thought right tempera-
ture was needed to properly cure
cheese.
Col. Harris gave some facts in re-
gard 10 the construction of Mr.. Straits
factory.
Second topic-How often should
dairy cows be salted in the winter?
Mr.. Pelton said salt should be put
where cows can have access to it at all
times.
Col. Harris thought it depended
upon whether cows were MIXED in
the winter. If MIXED, required more
salt. The Chairman stated that the
English pat salt stone where cows
can have access to it.
Theodore Clark remarked that salt
excites thirst, consumed the carbon in
cattle, and is injurious. Had expert
mented with poor cow, fatted the COW
but gave scarcely any water. Thought
it best to give but small quantity of
water at time.
Col. Harris inquired if butter made
of sweet cream was any better than
made from cream where the milk had
soured. He thought the sweet cream
the best. --i-- s;...
Mr.. Green had experimental said
| that sweet cream butter would melt
quicker than from sour cream. More
profitable 10 make from sour cream, )
per cent. more yield. Creamery but
ter has better flavor, but loses its fla
vor in about weeks. Creamery
butter better because they had better
facilities. Water temperature prefer
able to atmospheric temperature.

ALL ABOUT THE TERRITORY.
NEwAuKuM PRArmE, Lewis Co., I


Mrs. A. H. II. STUART, Chairman
Com. OF Immigration, Olympia W. T.
Madam: Having seen from time to
time copies of letters addressed to you,
giving descriptions of the various Sec
tons of farming land in Western Wash
inston Territory, but no particular
mention having been made of this part
of the country, 1 desire to call the at
tention of those designing to settle in
the Territory to the Upper Newaukum
valley, and that section of country ly-
ing between the head waters of the
Skookum Chuck, Newaukum and Cow
litz rivers.
Having been for number of years
engaged in the public surveys in this
Territory, am we'll cqualnleu with Its
various parts and their adaptability to
farming purposes, and consider the
above section as being equal in soil to
the best, and larger in extent than any
other west of the mountains. The bot
tom lands are extensive and very fer
tile; the uplands are good second-rate,
and yield large crops of grain where
ever they have been tried. The soil
consists of clay loan, with no rock or
gravel; occasionally fern-openings, OF
prairies, are found. The fern is of the
large kind, and soon gives away to sys-
tematic farming. This country has I'M
til recently remained almost unknown,
but Us roads are opened up and access
is given to those desiring to locate, it is
found that it more than realizes the ex-
pectations OF those who have followed
the line of the North Pacific Railroad,
and Judge only OF what they have seen
along its route. Thus far, the opening
of roads has been done by the few scat
tered settlers who have found their way
here, and has indeed been severe tax
upon those who have been found will
ing to undertake it, but every year will
render the work lighter, with the in
crease OF numbess and facilities. A
new saw and grist mill is building here,
a new road was opened along the north
fork of the Newaukum, and one previ-
ously along the south fork to Klickitat
prairie, q distance of twenty miles.
II romans only question of time as
to when this section will equal the best
parts of Oregon and Washington Terri
tory, in productiveness and population,
and though many lack the courage to
undertake the clearing Of farm yet ex-
perience shows that the hardest place
il TO begin; persistent work will do the
rest. G. A. WHITE.
