FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Breed only to pure bred sires.
Aluminium horse shoes are coming to
the fore.
Cabbage plants for late planting
may be started in the open air.
Prices for thoroughbred stock have
evidently fallen off several points.
Feed work horses oats, btan, hay
and other forage and not SO much
corn.
The culture of fruit may be simple
and easy, but it must be done thor
oughly.
Just as we'll have two crops from
most of the garden. 1t helps to make
the garden pay.
Plant corn, peas, beans, as well as
radishes and lettuce, at intervals Tor a
succession of crops.
The harder and barer the surface
around a bearing plum tree the better
it is, as the tree needs but little cultl-
vatIon.
Wherever the stock does not hold
the cion firmly the place should be
wrapped with cord covered with graft
ing wax.
Sprouts which start to grow on the
| stock below the graft should be always
pinched off and be kept in check. Ii
this is not done it saps the vitality oil

Western fruit growers are irrigatlng
their orchards with the aid OF the
water-wheel. It is expected that fruit
growing on the dry lands along the
| rivers will be rev lutionized by the
| use of the water-wheel.
A proper selection OF food, prepared
| In O proper manner, has much to do

Some people like to help chickens

day to ascertain the status Of recent Law,
on the subject.
As Mr.. Meany has always been in search
OF any information that might perma
nently benefit his alma mater. these in
quiries started him on tour of investlga
tion, which resulted in his discovery o.
the fact that tho state university is the
owner In fee simple Of valuable tract OF
land near Tacoma. 1t consists of the
north half Of the old Thomas NJ. Cham.
bers donation claim, being parts Of SEQ
tions . and 9, of township 20, range 4
east, and consists of $50 acres. It seems
that in 1853 the university regents loaned
$S.O0O to Mr.. Chambers, and to satisfy the
mortgage given Is security for this loan,
Mr.. Chambers gave = quit claim deed to
the north half Of his donation claim.
This deed was recorded on July 10, 1866, in
volume 2, page 90.
It is thus seen that this valuable prop
erty was not part Of the original grant
to the university, but was acquired
through regular business transaction
BY the university regents.
The Methodist university people realize
that this would make an excel
lent site for their institution, and
are axious to obtain possession of IL. To
do so under the new laws it will be neces-
sary for the board Of regents Of the state
university to comply with section of the
new university law and ascertain all tho
facts pertaining to the title Of the univer.
sity to this land, and then it may be sold
as all other public lands are sold. The
provisions for such sales are all set forth
IN the new law creating the state land
commission, which now consists Of State
Land Commissioner Forrest, who il ex-
ofiicio chairman; Thomas NJ. Reed, ir..
and Erastus Brainerd. both of Seattle. and
George Shannon. Of Olympia.
This new commission can sell the land
In question. but under the peculiar cir.
cumstances Of the title it will undoubtedly
be necessary for the board of regents to
give o quit claim deed in addition to the
deed given by the state land commission.
1t is reported that lands have sold in the
vicinity of the Chambers tract for from
500 to $500 an acre. but Mr.. G. w. Tnomp-
son, who now owns the south half of the
Chambers don alton claim, which he calls
Steilacoom Bay addition, says that bona
fide sales of lands in that vicinity have
been made and now can be made for about
$50 an acre.
When this land Is sold the proceeds
must 90 into the state university fund and
the board of regents, In conjunction with
the state land commission. will undoubt-
edly be able to secure quite an addition to
that fund from the sale of this onGtract.
Now that the regents have possession Of
all the old documents 30 long preserved
BY the Rev. Daniel Bagley, of Seattle, IL Il
altogether likely that other valuable tracts
Of lands belonging to the state university
will be found, which. with the grant made
at the last session Of the Legislature, will
give fine endowment for the university
OF Washington.
