Since our last report on the apple market
in Seattle there has been some change for
the worse. Seattle is rather overstocked
with apples, say some of the commission men,
and prices have slumped And the worst
thing about the business is that apples are
not keeping well and cannot be held, but
must be pushed. This will account for some
of the meager returns that will be made
Don't charge such returns up to the dishon-
esty of the commission men, brethren. If
we find any of them resorting to dishonest
tricks, we will not hesitate moment to ex-
pose them, but they have their troubles as
well as the growers. We have a commission
man in Seattle who was formerly an extern
sive fruit grower. He is reported to have
said the other day: "When was grower
/ thought all commission men were dishon-
est; now that / am a commission man, it
seems like all growers are dishonest" He
ought to hire a cheap man with good pair
of boots and strong leg to take him out
behind his store and kick him for entertain
ing either opinion.

ONE SEASONS ADDED WEALTH.

AS a producer of wealth, the American
farmer has no rival This years corn crop
would buy, at present quotations, all the
stocks and bonds of the United States Steel
corporation, and have $2OO,OO0OOO left over
with which to buy the Independent COM
panies. The hay crop is worth $3.50, 900,
or more than the present market value OF
a controlling interest of all the stock in
the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the
Erie the Baltimore & Ohio, the Atchison
and the Union Pacific Railroad companies
combined and is likewise worth as much as
the net earnings of all of the railways OF
the United States in 1902. 1t is estimated
that the aggregate value of our crops in
1903 is close to Sc, OOO,O 100000, which would
buy at par the total capital stocks OF 80 per
cent of all the railroads of the country.

BEN DAVIS APPLE LEADS.
Constitutes Almost Half the Reported Crop of
the United States,

St. Louis, Nov. 24.-Statistics gathered by Sec
rotary T. c. Wilson of the American Apple Grow
ers' Association which has closed its second an
nual convention at the Lindell hotel, show that
western apple growers lead all cultivators in the
production of this luscious fruit, and their prin
cipal product, the Ben Davis, constitutes almost
half Of the reported crop of the United States

ers' Association up to the end of the last year

sponded to the secretarys call for the number of
acres under cultivation and the number Of fruit
bearing trees.
under cultivation, upon which stood
1,O24 104 trees. This brought the average number
of trees to each owner up to 8,7O7. Of this total
number of trees, according to the figures sub
mitted by the producers, the Ben Davis apple
headed all Others Its percentage of all trees re-
ported being As per cent.
The Jonathan followed with percentage of 10,

and all other varieties 17h per cent.
Had the remaining fOrty-fOm members of the
association reported, it is said the total number
of acres and trees would have been increased by
half of the present figures but, it is also said,
the supremacy Of the Ben Davis would not have
been affected whit but, on the contrary might
have been boosted to SO per cent of the total pro-
duction of the country

An Iowa farmer had COW killed by
train on the railroad. He presented his
claim to the company in a note in which he
said "Thirty dollars will be considered
sufficient, as the animal killed was but
common COW and by no means the best of
my herd" The claim agent of the road
answered the letter promptly and inclosed
check for 800. He wrote the farmer 1T

BIanChard'S Poultry Notes
BY II. L. BLANCHARD.

A Mt. Vernon subscriber sends the fol-
lowing questions:
Cd Do you think the Brown Leghorns equal to
either White Leghorns or Black Mlnorcas Tor
fancy egg trade.
Ans.-Under present conditions In this
state, yes, since the egg trade has not yet
reached that point with us, that the size OF
the egg laid by any of the standard breeds
cuts much of figure with the general pub
lic However, a special trade for extra large
and beautiful white eggs could be worked up
in any of our larger cities, especially such
eggs as are laid by the Minorcas. But since
our enquirer is stocking up with Brown Leg
horns, now having some 100 pullets, expect
ing to still increase the number, our advice
would be to stay with the Leghorns, espe-
cially so, in case his practical experience in
the business is yet comparatively limited.
(2) Which would be the best location-Whatcom,
Everett or Seattle? l prefer Whatcom.
Ans.-Since your preference is Whatcom
you cannot make any mistake in securing
location close to that substantial city
CD Do you think the Cyphers Incubator is the
best I can get, do you know of any good for
less money?
Ans Cannot say that Cyphers is the best
incubator. Different breeders prefer differ
ent machines. No doubt Cyphers is good
machine. Cannot say as to it's comparative
cost
(4) Do you think ten sufficient land for
my contemplated business?
Ans-Since strawberry culture, truck gar
dening and poultry are to be combined, ten
acres is none too much. Other conditions
figure as to the area necessary, such as char
acter of soil, water, etc. 1t would be well
to select spot suitable for growing grain
as well, in order that large part or all of
the grain for the focks could be produced.
(5) Would you advise keeping hens of the Amer
lean class to hatch and brood chicks, by artif-
cia means.
Ans.-Since you contemplate going into
the business on quite large scale / think it
would be wise to plan for hatchery by arti-
fetal means. Enquirer's idea to keep but a
single breed and confne his efforts alone
the line of egg production is, no doubt, a

wise one, and since he is becoming more or
less acquainted with the Leghorn dlSpos'-
ton, it is very doubtful if he can do better
than to stay with the breed he already has.
Shifting from one breed to another with the
idea of getting better results, often causes
failure. Better look for improvement along
the lines of more knowledge and experience
and improved methods with the stock one
has.
Mr. H. l. Blanchard have been much inter-
ested in reading your pamphlet poultry raising
published by Miller Freeman of Seattle somtnlng
like two years ago.
If may do so without putting you to inconve-
nience would like very much some further infor-
nation particularly as to your later experience
with poultry.
First-Have you had any occasion to change
your views regarding the size and plan OF your
poultry houses, and if SO in what particulars!
Second-Have you modified in any way your
manner of feeding and caring for your poultry
from the method stated in your pamphlet!
Third-Do you still keep the same strain OF
fowls? 80
Fourth-Have you had any experience with
White Wyandottes, and, if so, what is your esu-
mate of that strain?
Fifth-Have YOU been able to continue the finan
cial success reported at the time OF the publlca-
ton of your pamphlet?
l enclose postpaid envelope Tor reply ana snail
be greatly obliged to you il you have the time ana
disposition to answer the foregoing inquiries, ana
to give me any other information upon the suDJect
growing out of your experiences and observations.
I am expecting to keep some poultry at Htue
summer place we have some miles from Tacoma
I am seeking in advance to inform myself some
what upon the general subject and although
have read considerable literature pertaining 10
the question yet your little pamphlet has thus Tar
interested me most-S N F., Tacoma, WASH.
Answer-The only change l would make
in my poultry houses would be to ada tour
feet to the width Of each roostlng room, tnus
making the building eight feet longer
Our present manner of feeding, etc., Is
practically the same, except with regard to
the mash feed, perhaps We are now max
ing the mash of equal parts by weight, OIL
bran and cracked corn for winter; Tor sum-
mer one-half less corn with little whole
oats thrown in the whole year.
We still keep the same strains OF towls'
with the White Plymouth Rocks added.
Am without any experience with the w.
Wyandotts.
We are now making more money from
our fowls than we were making from them
at the time you refer to, which is due chiefly
to better prices ruling for poultry products,
securing an improvement in the laying quail
tiles of the fowls by careful selection and
breeding, and by growing knowledge OF
the business.

The Atlanta Journal has made
the discovery that the apple is the
most democratic of all fruits. The
pomegranite is priestly; the grape
is royal; the orange is luxurious
the peach and pear are plutocratic,
but the apple belongs to the popu-
lace, 1t is symbolic of the country
atore and the corner grocery. 1t
breathes the free spirit of the Amer
lean township and village. 1t has
flavor of old New England and
yet pungency as of the South and
West. 1t is mild, palatable, nour-
ishing and promotive of good health
and long life. And | might add, it
was discovered by Mother Eve way
back yauder in the Garden Of Eden,
who, finding it good forthwith went
and found Pap Adam and persua.
ded him to "Itake bite" and that
is. when trouble began, for Adam

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

/ am not going to say much con-
corning the electric railway this
week, for there is but little remains
to be said as far as Cottonwood is
concerned. 1t is very apparent the
business men here don't want it,
and it is just apparent they won't get
il unless there is a change Of heart
comes to them and they get in and
show 1t by their works. That the
road will be built there is not a
question Of doubt, Speaking of
Il the Lewiston Teller says:
"The Lewiston. Grangeville cleo
trio road will be a factor in the
commercial development of the
country before another autumn
comes. Col. Spofford, promoter
at Boise, is working on the project
and expects to bring 1t to compile
ton early next year. The line will
follow the old railroad survey made
years ago except that the route will
be on an air line into Lewiston
from upper Tammany, the old sur
vey followed the creek down to the
Snake and thence down the Snake
river to Lewiston.
The estimated cost OF the road ia
81, 100000. The road is to be laid
with 60 pound rails or heavier, and
electric motors will haul freight
cars from the railroads here at Lew
iston to Grangeville without un-
loading as the road will be stand
ard guage. Grangeville alone re-
ceives 10000 tons of freight per
year at an average cost of $12 per
ton frem Potlatch Junction. Tbs
electric road can handle this freight
at IS per ton and make money.
The amount of grain, lumber and
other farm products will make up
large tonnage for the prospective
road.
