stances are at present staring the
officials of Walla Walla peniten-
tiary in the face, and which may
ultimately cause the closing Of the
jute mill at the institution.
For long time before the pres
tnt jute mill plant at the state PEN
itentiary was established the pro-
position for such a plant was dis
cussed by the state press, members
of the legislature and the directors
of the penitentiary. Directors
Sharpstein, Edmiston and Parker,
says the Walla Walla Statesman,
opposed the building of a jute mill
on the ground that after the state
had expended many thousands of
dollars in preparing for the manu-
facture of jute bags would make
the price of bags SO low that the
product of the state mill could not
be sold at profit. In that event
it was contended that hundreds Of
thousands of dollars spent upon
the plant and machinery would be
a dead loss.
Even at that time the farmers
all over the country were petition
ing congress to cheaper jute bags
by admitting them free Of duty,
and bill was then pending in CON
gress to carry out the wish of the
farmers. Only the work Of the
jute trust prevented the passage Of
the bill. A.
The jute mill was establish1 h
and for time its phenomenal
cess elated its projectors and ap ar. ar
ed to confound its opponents. It's
promoters were continually vahnt-
ing the success Of the scheme and
reminding the people Of Lhe con
spicuous part they had borne in
its consummation. Those who
doubted the wisdom of the PROPOSE
tion and had the courage to say so
were frequently twitted with the
poor business judgement they had
displayed, and spoken Of as old fo-
gies and croakers.
But the tables are beginning to
turn. The predictions of the OPP
ponents of the jute mills are be-
ginning to be verified. The de-
mand of the wheat growers for
cheaper bags was needed by con-
gress and duty on the foreign pro-
duct removed. After few years
of great activity and apparent pros
perity the mill fails to find a profit
able market for its output owing to
the free competition of cheap bags
from abroad. More than half Of
the output of the plant last year
remains unsold, and Coblentz's de-
falcation offset the profit of the
previous year.
Although it begins to look like
the state had an elephant on its
hands in The jute mill, there is
no help for them IN the restoration
of the duty on jute bags for the
wheat raisers Of the country will
rebel against such a concession to
the jute trust. Congress cannot
help the state out in this matter
for to do so would be to help the
jute trust at the cost Of millions Of
farmers. 1t is more than probable
that the manufacture Of jute bags
will soon have to be discontinued
as they can not be manufactured
even by convict labor as cheaply
as in Calcutta. More mills are
constantly being built and there will
be no check to foreign competition.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the HKING OF
LIVER MEDICINEs7" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried of remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-

BicYcI,sts Win.

The bicycle men have scored one
ON the railroads, since the latter
declared that they would no longer
check bicycles or carry them with
out charge. The wheelmen have
taken to packing their wheels in
trunks and checking the trunks
which the road are compelled to
carry as ordinary baggage. Several
of the roads asked Chairman Cald-
we'll to rule on the matter, and
pointed out to him the difficulty to
determine what is in the trunks.
The chairman ruled that the roads
must make the best Of the situa-
tion. Charges may be made when
wheels are carried in crates or box
es, but when they go in trunks as
personal baggage, the road must
carry them as such.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Grade up your stock, for both home
and foreign markets require better
quality of meat than ever before.
A eve should not be required to
move about much for few hours after
1ambing. If her teats are closed against
the efforts Of the lamb, squeeze them
out with the wetted fingers.
In order to secure the many desira-
BILE good qualities which go to make
UP frst-class flock of sheep, great
care is taken in the selection of buck
with reference to the particular flock
OF ewes with which he is to be put.
Before sheep are changed from hay
to grass in the spring they should be
carefully looked over, and all horns and
Loofs that threaten to be troublesome
carefully removed. The hoofs can be
talaen off with pruning shears, but a
fine saw is needed for horns.
There is real economy in feeding
straw and corn fodder. There is no
question but that stock can be wintered
as well upon these as upon high priced
hay. When these are fed with bran,
having higher albuminoid ratio, they
enable an animal to digest and assimi-
late better than when corn is fed with
them.-Farmer's Voice.

Ration for Cattle or Sheen.

Glover, hay, bran and wheat straw
make up complete ration in growing
cattle or sheep. 1t makes cheap food.
It will bring little better result if the
straw and clover could first be run
through feed-cutter and then the
bran be added. But, if this cannot be
done, the next best plan is to feed the
straw and clover in racks Or hangers,
and the. bran in boxes or troughs.
There will be much less waste in this
way than by allowing the stock to run
in the stacks and help themselves.
What is left in the racks or managers
can be used for bedding, and in this
way be converted into valuable fer
tiliZer.

Cracked Corn for Fowls.

The use Of cracked corn is more
largely employed among those who
breed the smaller breeds OF poultry,
yet some use it with all varieties. It
always seemed to me that the bette.
way would be to buy smaller kernel
corn or plant dwarf variety that
would avoid the necessity of cracking
it at the mill. In doing so you get just
what is wanted and avoid the trouble
of having to pay for great deal of
meal made in grinding the corn, which
s.not eaten by the flock and permitting
it to lie in the feed bins long brings
the meal worm about and makes the
entire grain 1nusty and unpleasant to
handle.-J. w. Caughey, in Farm and
Home

Cost Of Keeping a Hen.

Some one has decided that a hen can
be kept for less than so cents year.
1t is poor specimen of a hen that will
not lay ten dozen eggs year. At the
low price of ten cents dozen, this
would leave net profit of so cents.
At this rate it will pay every farmer
to keep flock of hens and give them
proper care. There is no danger of
overproduction. As long as the United
States annually imports millions of
dozens Of eggs, the market will not be
glutted.-Rural World.

THE MATCHING PROCESS.

How to Tell Perfectly Fresh Eggs from
Unfertile Ones.
It is a common practice for those buy
ing eggs to hold them up to the light,
and such as have had any experience
can in this way easily tell whether an
egg is fresh OF stale. A perfectly fresh
egg will have comparatively clear
look, with the air space of only moder-
ate size; whereas a stale egg will not
have such clear look, and the air space
will be larger, according to the age of
the egg. In addition to this there are
other indications, such as the appear
ance of the shell, which, in the old egg,
loses that bloom SO striking in new
ones. Unfertile eggs are always clear
no matter how long they have been sat
upon. There are those who say that
the sex and fertility of the egg can be
told before they are set. All sorts of
plans have been put forth and declared
to be sure and infallible tests as to the
sex of chickens, such as the shape of the
egg, the time of day it is laid, etc., but
t,.se- lave teen found, when tested, to
he unreliable, or at any rate not suf-
ticiently reliable to be accepted. That
the fertility of the egg may be proved
before it is set, we are not prepared to
deny, as we have known persons to pick
out fertile eggs by breathing on the
broad end, and must acknowledge that
they have proved to be correct in
large number of cases. We have never
been able to disprove this test, and
have often found it to be correct, but
Lot sufficiently so as to rely entirely
and unreservedly upon it. When work
ing an incubator there is no need for it,
for we have always been able to dis
cover go hours after they have been put
into the machine whether the eggs were
fertile OF not; and as the quality of
barren eggs is then unaffected in any
way, it is not worth running any risk
with the other tests.-Prairie Farmer.
