WALTER S. Moss.


Horticulturist.
Commissioner Raynor Kies, of the
Washington State Board of Horticul-
ture, was present at meeting OF the
fruit growers of Lewis county, held for
the purpose of organizing the Lewis
County Fruit Growers Association, at
Centralia, and gave the following in
teresting account of his experience in
growing prunes:
Twelve years ago ! bought land in
Clarke county and started in fruit
raising. In those early days it was
more or less of an experiment, for
there was nothing to argue from but a
few old orchards planted years before
by the Hudson Bay settlers. Now it
Is demonstrated beyond argument that
there is money in fruit raising. and
big money at that, and l am only
sorry that didn't buy ten times more
land and plant ten times as many
trees. Before engaging in such I'M
tried experiment as fruit raising then
was, l carefully figured out what I
considered a probable estimate of the
expected result. To day l find that in
twelve years the yield and profits have
been over double my most sanguine
estimate. A year ago last season my

Sufferer, / cured dyspepsia that !
had had since childhood, by paying
strict attention to hygiene. l took no
medicine. / had been doing that for
years before, with only temporary re-
lief. l drank a goblet of fresh milk
every day, adding tablespoonful of
limewater. i used milk in various
ways, always using that proportion of
lime in it. i occasionally took tea
spoonful Of milk OF magnesia in { little
water if my stomach was sour. For
constipation | used half cup OF bran
filled up with boiling water, strain, Cor
eat the bran too if the stomach will
bear it), add spoonful of common
molasses, eat or drink it before break
fast. | used a sponge bath every day !;
add handful of salt to the water and
warm it slightly, rub vigorously after.
Never bathe sooner than two hours af-
ter eating, before breakfast is the best
time. | rode horseback, rode in car
riage, or walked mile or two every
day. ate roast beef, roast or boiled
mutton, Never any gravy boiled
chicken, boiled rice, boiled hominy
with milk over. Never anything fried
Never any kind of hot bread or cakes
Bread two days old. ate plenty of
cooked fruit, never any raw. of course
| never touched cake, pastry, nuts,
cheese, ice cream, and never touched
n mouthful OF anything between
meals, and never later than 6 p. NJ.
For a year / did not drink at all at
meal time. Two hours after l drank
cocoa or hot water, never tea or coffee.
Made 1t rule to go away from the
table almost hungry, SO / die not COM
NIT that fatal error of overlooking my
stomach. / adhered to these rules for
two years, when l considered myself
well. Now (ten years since) can eat
almost anything and do not suffer at
all.

orchard averaged 220 pounds to the
tree, and l received for the fruit on %
acres $I,2G0. In what other business
can the expenditure of so little time
and money bring such results?
You can't overdo the prune busi-
ness. Every year thousands of bush
els OF prunes are imported and the
area in the United States where prunes
can be raised is much too limited to
ever more than partly supply the de-
mand. Native prunes at cents will
beat foreign prunes at cents in i'm
martial, market. If you get but five
cents, less than average yield will give
you over 5000 per acre above expenses,
which figures have never been touched
yet. We ought really to beat Califor-
MIA, the wonderful fruit State, for in
Italian prunes (the finest in the world
and the highest priceO Washington
and Oregon have practical monopoly.
When this Italian variety sold at Is
cents per pound in the retail markets
they were more or less of luxury and
the market was limited by the desires
OF the rich class, which alone con-
sumed them. Now that they sell for
less than 10 cents, the grower gets 5,
and has a market only limited by the
capacity of the workingman's stomach.
By all means plant Italian prunes.
In growing the French and petite va
rieties you come into direct competi-
tion with California, and a month or
two later at that.
Prunes have never got down to the
figures l have given you. This year
the market opened at 7 cents and now
is to s and 81 cents per pound from
the grower. Matured orchards are
worth and will readily bring $1,000

The Number Three in Biblical His
tory.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
Number three is the first odd num-
ber, and occurs in all religious writ.
ings with striking frequency. God is
triune, the Father, the Son and Holy
Ghost. There are some who find a
trinity throughout nature, as st. Pat
rick did in the shamrock. The triune
plan OF creation is seen in the earth
sea and air; the sun, moon and stars
the fish, birds and beast; in the ami.
NAL, vegetable and mineral kingdoms
in future, past and present time.
There have been three dispensations
Of truth-the patriarchal, the Jewish
and the Christian. Adam and Noah
each had three sons. There were
three great patriarchs-Abraham
Isaac and Jacob. The commandments
were delivered on the third day. The
length of Solomon's temple was three
times its breadth. Elijah stretched
himself three times upon the widows
child before bringing him to life.
David bowed three times before iona.
than. Jonah was in the whales in
terror three days.
Three wise men came from the east
to adore the infant Saviour, bringing
with them three offerings. The child
was found after three DAYS in the
temple. Three apostles were with the
Saviour at the TRANSPORTATION and
three in the Garden of Olives. Peter
was asked three times Lowest thou
me ?" and denied his master three
times. Our Lord found the disciples
sleeping three times in the garden.
He was nailed to the cross with three
nails, hung on three hours and rose
again the third day.

BAKING POWDER
In the New York Legislature.


The following, taken from 6" The Oil,
Paint and Drug Reporter" refers to
new bill just introduced in the legisla-
ture of New York State:
The latest development in the baking pow
der war is the introduction of q bill in the Leg
lslatu:e OF this state, requiring all packages of
baking powder which contain ammonia, to be
branded with statement of that fact in large
type on the label.
Now while the ammonia contention is on
why cannot the law give the public the benefit
of the doubt? Wholly unprejudced people
are certainly not willing to be dOsed with the
substances acknowledged as a poison, simply
because scientists. some of whom are even not
even psychologists, disagree as to potency"
A similar bill was introduced last
April but it is shrewdly surmised that
the influence of interested parties pre-
vented its passage. The provisions of
the present bill are so just that it will
soon probably become law.
This will be welcome news to the
manufacturers of the pure cream of
tarter baking powders, the most promi-
nent of whom is the Price Baking
Powder Co of Chicago and St. Louis,
makers Of DIR. Prices Cream Baking
Powder, who have always made a
strictly pure cream of tarter powder,
notwithstanding the temptations of
adulteration suggested by the enor-
nous profits realized by a large New
York concern which uses ammonia,
and advertises its powder as strictly
pure, by means Of garbled official re-
ports and certificates signed by its
own employees, dubbed professor, doc
tor or government chemist, as fancy
may dictate.
A bill compelling alum powders to
be conspicuously labelled as such, al
ready exists in Minnesota and it is to
be hoped in the interest of the con-
sumner that similar laws will soon be
enacted in other States, for ammonia
as we'll as alum.
The following powders known to
contain either ammonia or alum or
both, will be affected by the proposed
legislation:
Royal, Pearl, Calumet, Chicago
Isast, Forest City, One Spoon (Taylor's).
Bon Bon, Kenton, Echo, Snow Puff,
Unrivalled, YarnaHs One Spoon,
Shepard's Economical, Crown, Gilman,
Hercules, Monarch, New Era, Snow

THE FISHERY DEPARTMENT.
H.'n q. McgIeI, OIi~r ~f IL r:-,-
cry Department in this State, has Sc
secured the promise of assistance from
Professor 0. b. Johnson of the State
University. Professor Johnson is one
Of the best known naturalists on the
Pacific Coast. He is ACKNOWLEDGED by
every one who knows him to bc an
expert on the fish OF the northwest
and for years he has been collecting
for the Smithsonian Institute and the
National Museum. Besides these
qualifications he is tirst-class taxid-
ermist and knows exactly how to pre-
pare fish, birds, animals and other
natural objects for exhibition. Mr..
Megler is delighted ut being able to
secure such valuable assistance with
out going out OF this State for it. 1t
is now assured that the fish exhibit
from this State will be one OF the most
attractive features at the Exposition.

A NICELY invented device for pre-
venting caterpillars from climbing
trees is the winding of the trunk of
the trees for short space with alter
nate wires of copper and zinc SO close
ly that the marauder must touch one
wire OF each kind at every step of its
progress. The result will be an elec-
trio shock strong enough to precipitate
the william to the earth. Discourage
ment and nervous prostration would
probably drive the creature to event
full suicide under this treatment.
