The Ahsanun water Case.

EDITOR HERALD AS have been read
ing over few points in your paper in re-
gard to the decision given by Judge Smith
on the Ahtanum water cases, thought
that few words would not be out Of
place as leader to make this matter
more satisfactory among the Ahtanum
settlers. as well as those living under the
bitches. l am representing one Of the
Oldest claims in the Abtanum valley, and
the patent to the claim probably dates
back along with the first lands taken In
this country. l have been deprived of
water sufficient to irrigate this land.
Now, DO not contend that there Is not
sufficient water at certain seasons Of the
year to irrigate all the lands that the
Ahtanum stream covers, but all who have
Investigated this matter are certainly
convinced Of the fact that there is Q real
scarcity during a certain period Of the
summer and fall months. Commencing
with the month OF June our water begins
to fail and by the first of July there is
scarcely sufficient water to irrigate the
valley lands. Beginning with this period
the bitches leading onto the bench lands
are kept full, thus cutting short the sup
ply OF water in the valley below. Being
q firm believer in the principle Of live and
let live, think that an adjustment OF
this matter should be made in an agree
ment between the plaintiffs and defend
ants giving them actually what they are
entitled to-surplus water when there is
q surplus, and that the Ahtanum Rlpa-
rian Water Right association be reorgan-
lied in full force and that water COM
missioner be appointed or elected by the
association and paid by the association,
compelling each claimant In the valley
proper to construct and put in head
gate on his ditch, giving him just what
water he is entitled to and no more.
During my ten years residence in this
valley there has been but two years in
which there has been actual drouth in
which the spring known as the Olney
spring went completely dry, never before
known in the history of the country, oc-
casioned partly by extreme drouth and
partly by the water being diverted from
the streams above.

CATTLE DIPPING VAT.

a Dallas (Texas) man has invented
a cattle clipping vat. !" The idea is to
DIP cattle as a prevention of the
Texas fever. One of these vats is in
use on the King cattle ranch, the larg'
est cattle ranch in Texas. The dig
ging vat is six feet deep and contains
a carefully prepared chemical fluid.
The sides of the vat extend four feet
above high water mark to prevent
waste by splashing. Tho bottom of the
vat is three feet vide, the sides taper
ing outward, making it seven wide at
the top. Large Stats are nailed IN the
incline at tho end of the vat and on
tho platform to prevent slipping. The
floor of the vat is covered with sheet
iron, and square pen surrounds it.
The cattle to be ducked are driven
into the pen, and as they step over the
centre OF gravity they are immersed
in the fluid, after which they Chamber
out of the vat On the incline. The
idea is to kill the disease carrying
parasites, such as lice, ticks, ETC.,
thus reducing the liability of carrying
splenic fever. The idea seems to be
good one, and the general utility OF
the cattle dipping vat should be thor
oughly tested. New York World.

IMPROVING THE ORCHARD.

There are many old orchards that
fell to produce enough to, pay cost of
harvesting their fruit. This is not as
it should be. If the trees are still
vigorous their lack of fruitfulness is
most likely due to o disproportion OF
nitrogenous to mineral fertilizer in
the soil. If the tree shows signs of
failing, both kinds of fertilizer should
be given them. There are many soils
that have been exclusively manured
with stable manure, that lack potash
and phosphate. Manure from the
barnyard will make vigorous growth
OF wood and leaf, but it will not pro-
mote fruitfulness. A dressing of 600
pounds of mixture of potash and
phosphate, in the proportions Of two
of the potash to one of phosphate, will
pay on almost any old orchard. But
before manuring heavily the kinds
that are least productive and salable
should be grated over. It does not
pay to cultivate and manure poor
kinds of fruit when the change togood
kinds is SO easily made by grafting.-

CASTOR BEANS,

The success which many people
have IN growing the castor bean in
private gardens naturally leads them
to think there may be large profit
in it when grown extensively for seed
and oil. The plant requires long
season and very rich soil 1t is a
difficult crop to harvest, requiring
peculiar machinery to get the beans
cut of their pods. Farmers on rich
land in Missouri and Kansas grow con.
siderable quantities Of castor beans.
They find q market in st. Louis,
where the oil is pressed out. This
requires expensive machinery, and un-
less market can be assured for your
castor beans it will prove losing
business to grow them. We have
known people to use the castor bean
as a purgative. It is much more
pleasant to take than castor oil, and is
equally effective, as it contains large
proportion of oil. But this use would
not make market for more than are
grown on plants kept for show in the
garden. It is very snowy plant when
it has soil rich enough to grow to
large size.-Boston Cultivator.

v1STER1NG CABBAGE PLANTS.

Although the cold frame for winter

She picked 1t up with great difficulty, but

officer took the mother to the station house,
and the child to the Woman's Hospital

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Let berry plants be carefully laid

tucked up for needed rest. Delay this
necessary work no longer. 500
If you have doubts as to benefits OF
winter protection, even in mild cli-

After ground is we'll frozen, straw
berries should be covered lightly with
clean straw or marsh hay. In spring

Eggs and good plump fowls for the
table generally bring higher price
in the market in the winter than at
any other time of the year. The wise
farmer takes advantage of this better
market by being prepared for it.
The last years hens will give the
first eggs, but soon the pullets will
furnish their quota, and the farmers
wife will be astonisheG and delighted
at the dozens of eggs she will have
ready for the market in mid-winter.
The farm poultry, which, during the
summer and thus far in the season
have had little care, because with their
free ran.ie they have been able to
scratch fl: themselves, must now have
some attention if they are to pay for
their keeping during the winter. T..
Remove all weeds, trimmings and
surplus rubbish from the garden. See
that every plant and bush is properly
protected for water. Cover the
ground with finely composted manure
and you may then look forward to q
fruitful resurrection in the spring.
Fall.sown rye on light loam soil
makes an excellent crop to plow under
in spring. Do this just before corn
planting, add little potash salts and

use of expensive nitrogen you will be
pretty sure to make good corn crop.
