IA sEnrtwhile before noon we reached
the place of A. j. Hooper on the Pa
.iouse river, and had the pleasure of
looking over what can be done by In
dustry and intelligence, says the editor
Of the Ritzville Times. Like most OF
the old timers, Mr.. Hooper was stock
man, but unlike most stockmen he
takes great pleasure in growing fine
garden, orchard. etc. Today he has
II acres of as fine young trees as one
would wish to see. These trees are
not yet in bearing. being an addition
to the original orchard. Mr.. Hooper
sold apples off two trees the day we
were there for enough to keep an or
binary family all winter, and during
the season he can hardly recall the
amounts realized from pears, peaches,
cherries, prunes and other fruits, to say
nothing of the endless quantities of
Strawberries, blackberries, etc. He al
so grew large quantities of vegetables.
The cellar is as large as an ordinary
store and shelves are placed entirely
around it at intervals of about foot,
or sufficient space to accommodate or
binary fruit jars. These shelves are
chock full of jars all filled with the
very finest of fruit of so many kinds
that we couldn't spare the space it
would require to barely enumerate
them. In the middle of the cellar is
the dairy department and there were
about so large pans, filled with the rich
est kind of yellow cream.
Mr.. Hooper then showed us his pigs,
about 125, which he is feeding from the
products of his place, including some
corn, which was almost as good as that
they grow sin the old Kentucky home"

FEEDING SORGHUM TO THE CATTLE
One Farmer Is Convinced of Its Value
for Selling PURPOSES.


One Farmer Is Convinced OF Its VaIme
for Selling Purposes.
We have been feeding our live stock
Regularly twice every day since the oath
of July, and am more thoroughly con-
WINGED than ever of the value of sor-
ghum for soiling purposes, says cor
Respondent of the Country Gentleman.
ID find on measuring my early sown
plat that it contains 80 square rods GIG
Iof an acre., and fed three milk COWS
and three spring calves from it for 81
days. During the last month the three
calves ate as much as one COW, but
did not eat nearly as much the. first
Few weeks. I sowed quarter of an
acre more on the Gath of June, the day
of our last rain before the drouth
and it is now six feet high and head
ing out, and have begun feeding from
10 to cattle and hogs. 1 find that the
hogs eat it as readily as the cows. I
planted this plat thinner on the ground
DO as to have larger stalks and more
sweet about it. intending to buy half
dozen hogs and experiment with it
10 find out if pork could not be made
much cheaper by feeding sorghum
than with corn; but instead of being
ready to feed the latter part of August,
ID is a month later, and as we are liable
10 have a frost any time and the sor-
ghum is so green that hard frost
WOULD ruin it,, shall give up the eX-
periment until another year."

Six Men Now mt work Preparing the
Land for Cultivation.
Six men are now at work on the ex-
detrimental agricultural station at Puy-
allup. They are clearing up the land
and preparing it for cultivation Lit
tie experimental work will be done there
next year, as it will take long time to
prepare the ground, says the Tacoma
News. The permanent buildings need
ID can not be erected until the legisla-
ture convenessand maikessan annropria-
ton for the same. However, the pftrS
is being put in condition, and will be
ready when the appropriation comes.
1t is believed fully one ton of powder
has been used to blow out stumps on

Granting that one could succeed in Sc

Dortant factor. A breed that is capable
of enduring one climate may succumb

Merino sheep is a favorite because it

Ion. Any attempt to combine the mer-

Her Personal Effects 10 Re Knocked
Down Under the Hammer
At last the estate of Mrs. Sarah Althea
Terry is to be sold, says the San Fran
cisco Call. The lawbooks of the once
famous lawyer and the jewelry and some
of the personal effects of Mrs. Terry,
now an inmate of the Stockton insane
asylum, are to be disposed of under the
hammer. The matter of the sale will be
a surprise to many interested parties,
although they knew the goods would be
auctioned off at some time.
1.-THE sale wasn't advertised at all, as
far as 1 can find" said Thomas j. Ryan,
a creditor of the estate. 1.-THE whole
thing is wrong, and there is some reason
for the peculiar method of doing business.
Ever since Tom Williams has been the
guardian of Mrs. Terry things have not
been above board"
Robert Ach, the attorney for Guardian
Thomas H. Williams, said that three
notices of the sale had been posted. The
advertising of it had been left with the
auetioneer.

A coMpENsA ZION FOR CHEAP GRAIN
In Two Years II Has stocked Douglas
COUNTY With Hogs.

In Two Years II Has Stocked Douglas
county With logs.
The Coulee City News says: Cheap
grain is making it possible for our
stockmen to feed their cattle during
the fall and winter and have them fat
for the spring market. The cheapness
of feed has in two years stocked our
country with hogs, until every farmer
has few and many are fattening a
carload and over. All this has come
to pass during the past three years, up
to that time very few hogs were fed,
the number being limited generally to
enough for the farmers home supply
and none for market. This is one of
the best home markets for the cheap
grain of eastern Washington, manu-
.facture it into beef and realize double
the price than if the same grain was
sold in bulk"

SEATTLE BEGINS TO SEE THE POINT
What the State Needs Is Good Local
Railroad System.


A contest seems imminent between
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern rail-
road and the o. r. & N. Co. for the
acquisition of the Central Washington,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and
as the one or the other may gain its OBJ
ject the trade of eastern Washington
will be thrown to Seattle or to Portland.
The possibilities of the rich and fertile
country of the Big Bend were indicated
by the Post-Intelligencer yesterday in
an interview with Fred McDermott Of
Waterville, and he spoke of the partic-
ular need of that section as railway ex-
tension. At present Waterville, As miles
from Couiee City. the western terminus
of the Central Washington, is badly
handicapped in respect to transporta-
ton facilities. and the rate to export
wheat and other products Ia SO high

TUE VALUE OF BEES ON FARMS

Alsike Glover as Good as White Glover
for Honey.
Farmers should keep more bees than
they do. If they did alsike clover would
be more sown. 1t has the advantage of
the common red clover, that it's honey
is within reach of the common bee. 1t
makes light honey, quite as good as
from the white clover, and there is never
any failure to blossom, as. there often
is with white clover in time of drouth.
By cutting some of the alsike before
it comes into blossom the time when it
blooms may be protracted and thus
make the honey producing season
longer.

Eessful results of feeding
mestic animals, says the
kgricu1turist. Its value as
for cattle and horses, whether
Dhole grain is fed or Its by-prod-
IS, has long been we'll. known, aaa
THE present experience has conhrmed
that knowledge. But the greatest good
likely to result from the corn crop fail
ure OF 1894, and the consequent use of
wheat In its place, will be the feeding
of wheat to swine. Its value here,
when the price makes 1t practicable,
is incaiculable. We have fed too much
corn. We have for many years made
this cereal the almost exclusive food of
swine. and we have thus brought on
severe punishment. Excessive corn
feeding to hogs has given us race Of
domestic animals which are debilitated
at birth. No animal can be fed on such
a highly carbonaceous food as corn
without becoming physically democrat
lied. We do not think first class pork
was ever made on such a diet. Swine
thus fed, when slaughtered, always
have more or less infiamed viscera, the
result of impaired health. Perhaps the
greatest harm resulting from this one
sided diet is that 1t impairs the ami
malls vitality and makes it an easy
prey for many contagious diseases
which well fed and healthy animal
would readily resist. This has been a
prominent factor in making hog chol-
era the destructive agent that it has
so long been. With the range of clover
pasture for the swine, and some wheat
in the grain ration, this pest would
soon cease to be formidable.
