Abortion Treatment.

John MCGOWAN. who owns large
dairy herd in the White River valley
asks for little further enlightenment
as to the method of administering
the remedy for abortion as applied by
Mr.. Blanchard Below is the reply:
The Ranch
For explanation to Mr. McGowan's
enquiry contained in yours of the 10th
inst, would say, that as stated in my
article giving my methods in cases OF
abortion, for convenience I provide a
quantity of the solution mentioned at
one time-and buy sufficient for no
less than from five to ten gallons OF
water, viz: five drains corrosive sub
Innate and five ounces each OF alco-
hol and glycerine, and shake all up in
five gallons of water-Of course double
the quantity for ten gallons of water,
etc. The five gallon solution costs
me at the drug store about % cents;
the ten gallon solution about $12O.
1t takes on an average, about five gal
Ions of the solution for course OF
treatment for one coW-that is for one
week to ten days This makes the cost
for the treatment of each cow for the
required period about GO to 90 cents.
Evidently the cost of the solution
comes much higher when bought in
small quantities.

a job. I found one and then bor-
rowed money to send east for my
family. In a couple of years l rented
farm down the valley. The first
year l sold $4,000 worth of it's prod
ucts. The next year was a bad one
for me, and l didn't make more than
5000 above my living; but the follow
ing year-that was year before last
1 drew over $4,000 out of the game
for my seasons work. Then l bought
a place under the Sunnyside ditch
for $4,000. 1t produced over $4,000
worth of stuff last year. and with
good luck 1 expect to realize double
lIat sum from it the coming season.
l wouldn't take $4,000 for my farm.
1 don't tell about this to boast, but
merely to illustrate favorite propo-
sition of mine that the Yakima valley
is as good a poor mans country as
there is anywhere. 1 know men who
have done better than l have.-Re

Cabbage for Commercial Planting.
j. j. II. GREGORY.


The best early variety for market
men is one of the Early Wakefield
class 1t is catalogued under two or
three names, but if earliness above
size is desired order the extra early;
if size as well as earliness is to be
considered, then the early; or if it
will pay to wait few days later for
the advantage to be gained in size,
then order the variety known under
the name of Charleston Wakefield, or,
what is just ABOUT the same thing, the
Early Wyman. The marketman will
need a second early and it must be
of the drumhead class, for the simple
reason that American people as rule
prefer the drumhead to the conical
class, in which respect they differ di
ametrically from the English, who
raise the former to feed to cattle, CIV
ing decided preference to the latter for
table use.
This is the bottom reason why Eng
lish raised drumhead seed is worth
less with us. Raising it as they do for
cattle feed, they aim for the greatest
bulk possible without special reference
to obtaining strains to be relied upon
for making uniformly hard heads,
hence they produce here what cab
bage raisers call a wild CROP having
long stumps with heads in every stage
of formation and in every degree of
hardness. There is but one exception
to the uniform preference in this coun-
try to the drumhead class of cabbage
California has pinned her faith on
the cone-shaped Winnigstadt for late
variety and sends carloads of it into
the late markets.
Seed catalogues abound with varie-
ties of second early. Among these are
All Seasons, Early Summer, Sure
Head, Warren, Swiss, Newark, All
Head, Erfurt Round Sugar, Early Deep
Head, Succession. All Seasons has a
large and increasing popularity and
Succession and Warren are giving
great satisfaction. The varieties men,
toned, planted at intervals, supply the
markets of the country through the
summer and early fall and with the
Flat Dutch round out the supply till
winter is we'll upon us. For winter
and spring marketing the farmer needs
a class of cabbage that shall have
hardness of the head, that it may not
shrink and grow soft under the more
or less drying influences to which it
may be subject.

Answer to query No. 1: We have
never seen or heard of any such
weakness as you describe, but on the
contrary my observation has been that
sows running on alfalfa, exclusively,
bring forth strong, vigorous progeny.
| have also noticed that a much larger
per cent. of pigs are secured where
the sows are allowed to run at large
on pasture.

The Book of the Royal Blue for

does homage to that lazy month
through several clever contributions
from some OF the most prominent
Newspaper Humorists OF the United

Lowell Otus Reese, of San Francisco,
and S. w, Gillian, Of Baltimore, the
Finnigin Flanagan Man.
Mr.. Reese also has an article in
prose. entitled, 1.-THE Wandering

ard Clanahan, of st. Louis, writes one
Oh "Sappho." Mr.. Evard Jack APP
pleton, of Cincinnati, tells good
story about 1.-THE Accommodating
Man."
The book opens with that most pop
ular August theme for this year, "The
International Cup Races" giving a
full length portrait of Mr.. Upton as
the frontispiece. The article is also
illustrated with photographs OF Sham
rock I'll, Reliance and Constitution,

REJECT CANAL TREATY
Colombian Senate Refuses TO
Pass Measure---Next
Move Uncertain.
MAY SELECT RICARACUAN ROUTE
Property Owners Along Route Lose
Heavily-President Marroquln May
send Modified Treaty Back to Sem
ate and Reopen Debate.

Washington, Aug. S-A eablegram
dated August IL, has been received at
the state department from Minister
Beaupre, at Bogota, saying that the
Panama canal treaty has been rejected
by the Colombian senate.
President Roosevelt was immediate
ly advised of the news, Mr.. Beaupre's
telegram being forwarded by Acting
Secretary Loomis to Oyster Bay.
Very little additional information
concerning the action Of the Colon
bian senate could be obtained at the
state department. Mr. Loomis was
not at the department, the statement
being made that he had gone away for
a few days on business. Mr.. Adee,
acting secretary, would not discuss
Colombian affairs, nor indicate what
course the United States would pur-
sue The information in the cablegram
of Minister Beaupre was meager and
there was no intimation whether the
treaty might not again be brought up
for consideration.
Section of the Isthmian canal act
provides that should the president be
unable to obtain q satisfactory title
to the property of the new Panama
Canal company and control of the nee
essary territory and the rights neces-
sary to the construction of the canal
from the republic of Colombia, he shall
make the necessary treaties with Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua and proceed with
the construction of canal by the
Nicaraguan route.
II will be impossible for President
Marroauin to again submit the treaty
to the Colombian congress In It's pres
ent form. The senate having rejected
1t the treaty cannot again come before
that body except by the sehate's own
vote. President Marroquin, however.
can send the treaty slightly amended
to the senate and reopen the canal de-
| late. 1t Is believed at the Colombian
legation that President Marroquin will
adopt some such procedure.
Colon, Colombia, Aug. 1S.-The re-
| lection of the canal treaty by the
| Colombian senate has produced tre-
mendous sensation on the isthmus. 1t
was generally believed that the treaty
would pass with some notifications.
There Is good reason to suppose
that the majority of the members of
the senate regard the Spooner amend
m9nt to build a canal by the Mica.
raguan route, II the Panama route was
rejected, as a mere threat on the part
of the United States. They are con-
vinced that the Nicaraguan project is
impossible and that the United States
will again deal with Colombia.
The rejection Is a heavy blow to
property owners here. who have been
investing heavily on the prospects oil
the treaty being ratified.
