THE DAIRY SCHOOL.

Pullman, Wash, Dec. 3, 1902.
The Ranch: [ am sure that the
farmers and ranchers of Washington
who are interested in the extension of
the dairy interests of the state will be
glad to know that the college is ma
king preparation to hold its annual
dairy school again this year Owing
to the burning of the old creamery
plant in the summer Oh 1901, we have
been very much handicapped in our
creamery and dairy work, and are
forced to occupy very incommodious
quarters for this purpose. However,
arrangements are being made to carry
out the school as usual, and our plans
are so nearly perfected that we think
that we will be able to accommodate
all the students that may be able to
attend AS usual, the limit of enroll
ment has been placed at twenty. We
would be glad to have that limit reach
ed. The school will open on the End
of February and continue eight weeks.
The first four weeks will be devoted
primarily to factory practice in the
manufacture of butter, the succeeding
four weeks will be devoted to cheese
making Mr.. Harris will have charge
of the creamery work, while Mr.. l..
Engleman, of North Yakima, is expect
ed to have charge of the practice in
making cheese. Further announce
ment of the course will be mailed to all
inquirers, and we would be pleased to
have the dairymen of the state show
their interest in furthering this school
by suggesting to young men OF their
acquaintance the Importance of attend
ing it, Full announcement of the work
will be found in the circulars relative
to the school, For information apply
to E. E. Elliott professor of agricul-
ture, or to l.. V. Corner, registrar, Pull
man, Wash Very truly yours,
E. E. ELLIOTT.

GLENDALE CREAMERY OPENING.

A marked copy of the Port Angeles
Tribune Times has reached us con-
tanning an account of the farmers pic

creamery. According to this interest
ing account they must have had a
bully time of it. H. l.. Blanchard was
first on the programme, and did the
heavy talking, followed by Donald Nc

Lipsitt, j. A. Woll told number of his
original Swedish dialect stories, that

He has voice of rare quality. After
inspecting the new creamery fine
lunch was spread. Footracing took
place for an hour. An extra race be-
tween ]. A. Vol, George Davis and
10 McKissisk won loud applause, as
Woll gave 10 the hardest 100-yard run
he ever run, and George got lost in the
dust. A rest was then taken until 1880

nal number. For example, with tract
of $500 acres the land owner would
place 100 COWS and suitable buildings.
All were turned over to the tenant
farmer for a series of years, with
cash price of $25 to $50 to the owner
for each COW passing to the tenant
under the lease. This custom still pre-
walls, to large extent, along the coast
regions, especially north of San Fran
cisco. The price paid per cow, how
ever, has fallen, until it now runs from
$3.50 to 500 instead of the higher fig
ures quoted The objection to this
system is that the tenant has but little
real interest in keeping up the herd to
a high standard, or in preserving the
natural pasture so as to yield its best
returns. Often there is serious de-
terioration of the herds, through the
use of scrub bulls and general care
lessness of the tenant. The system
first noted is in the irrigated alfalfa re-
gion, and as the owner supplies his
own cattle, there will probably be a
much higher standard of excellence
maintained in the herd than prevails
under the other system of tenancy fol-
lowed in the coast country
Gazette.

PAYING RENT IN BUTTERFAT.

An example of land-rents, OF an I'M
usual character, may be instanced by
the advertisement of land company
in California, which proposes to lease
irrigated alfalfa lands to dairy tenants
for one-third of the butterfat produced
from COWS running on such lands. The
tenant has for his share twO-thirds OF
all the butter-fat produced, as well as
all the calves and pigs that may be
raised on the ranch. This is without
doubt a good proposition for both par
ties in interest. The landlord will prob
ably have an income equal to reason
able interest on an investment of 500
per acre for his land, and the thrifty
tenant who must furnish the cows,
should be able to support his family
from them alone, with the return from
the calves and pigs as net profits.
In the earlier days of California,
dairy farmers took out leases under
the following conditions: The owner
furnished the COWS and the land suffi-
cient to Craze them throughout the
year. All the lands were grazing
lands, and what grew on them the nat
ural produce. The tenant farmer was

Mr.. Pelly informs us that this herd is

How Plain Girls
Win Handsome Husbands.

There are a few regular occasions on
winch every pretty girl feels inclined to
give vent TO her feelings by good
cry Onc IS when her plain sister en-
ters into the bonds of matlimony with
an eXceedlnly good-lookng man.
1t Is very Notifying, if you happen
to be pretty, TO be left out in the cold,
ana the pretty girl never has under
stood, and never will understand how ii
IS. And perhaps it is really good thing
for the beauty of the family that she Is
50 Ignorant on this matter. If she fully
comprehended the brain workings of that
strange creature, man, matrimony would
lose its dearest charm.

good-looking must admire beauty. He
does admire it; he cannot help himself
Then why, the pretty girl inquiries, does
he marry her plain sister,
The answer may best he found in the
answers of twelve intelligent men on the
subject of choosing a wife. Each one
stated seriously what qualities he would
look for in n possible partner and set
them down in order, the most important

wealthy and clever.
The PLAIN girl stores Mt once with her
sympathy; it is her chief and most pow
erful weapon against a man. The girl
with good looks has no need 10 find
friends by being sympathetic, and it is
doubtful if people would believe her
sympathy TO be genuine. At all s0ci1l
