Middle aged and old people and
those whose blood Is contaminated and
tainted with the germs and poison Of
malaria or some previous sickness, are
the chief sufferers from chronic sores
and ulcers. While the blood remains in
an unhealthy, polluted condition heal
ing is impossible, and the sore will
continue to grow and spread in spite Of
washes and salves or any superficial or
surface treatment, for the sore is but
the outward sign of some constitu-
tional disorder, a bad condition OF
the blood and system which local
remedies cannot cure. A blood purifier

YEARBOOK FREE.

The Ranch has received limited number
of copies Of the 1902 Yearbook of the De
partment of Agriculture. This is the finest
volume of the Yearbook that has ever been
turned out. 1t is a heavy cloth-bound work
of 700 pages, and is chock-full from cover
to cover with invaluable information. This
book is the best thing the agricultural de-
partment does, as it contains the careful
compilation and review of all the work done
by every one connected with this important
branch of our government, and OF all ex-
pertinent stations, etc., in every state in the
Union.
There be some folks who like these books
for the rich fund of information they con-
tain Some few of the unregenerate who
have not yet learned the full power OF
knowledge direct from the head fountain
make gifts of them to the kids, who convert
them into scrap albums so they are never
entirely wasted. None of these latter read
our paper however, so we know when we
send out this book it will be the most high
ly-prized and diligently-read work in the
library. Subscribers Gin good standlng)
and others, who while not having the price
of subscription to this great farm journal,
are among the truly deserving, will be mail

A Ranch-Hand Who Will Stand.

Tn one Of the Seattle dai1ies, Japanese
ranch hand advertised that he is honest,
kind, and gentle" He utterly fails to say
whether he will stand without hitching. By
contrast we read in the dispatches that a
Montana ranch-hand named Gabriel had ap-
piled for warrant for the arrest of rancher
who hitched him to plow and drove him
beside mule. Gabriel says he was in debt
to the rancher, and that the latter forced him
to work the debt out, using him as beast
of burden The gentle" Jap who is adver-
Using for a job would seem better fitted
for Gabriel's job than was Gabriel himself.
There is one point in the matter, however,
which is not entirely clear We learn from
this protest that Gabriel thought himself dis
graced by being hitched UP with mule.
But the dispatch is darkly silent as to what
the mule thought of Gabriel.

The government free seed graft, which for
so many years has been carried on in this
country is being shown up in its true light
by the investigation now taking place in
Washington city as result of the suit by
Nellis, the contractor, who claims bal
ance of $4,000 which the secretary Of agri
culture has held back, for alleged non-per-
Torrance of contract.
The full amount of the contract was $685.
900. Secretary Wilson said recently that
the arrest and trial of Nellis was the result
of an inquiry into the work of the contractor
at the time, and that the government is
still in possession of Nellis bond for $4,000.
An affidavit has been made by the fore
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-07-01

man of Nellis in which he charges that no
record books were kept showing the amount
of seed received in bulk, that he had sug-
gested the keeping of such books, but that
Nellis said he did not want them kept.
He charges that great portion of the
seeds were put up in lightweight packages,
that Ne1lis instructed him to notify the en-
ployes engaged in putting up this seed to
let the weights run light, and that he knows
that these instructions were followed.
The Ranch has reason to believe that
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is not in
sympathy with the annual distribution of
free seeds as now carried on indiscriminately
by the government, and that he has double
purpose in forcing this investigation He
will endeavor to have the offender if the
evidence is substantiated prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. The exposure will
show that the present system is a wanton
waste of funds and that it should either be
discontinued or SO changed that some genu-
inc benefit may be obtained therefrom by
the farmers. AS originally intended, the
seed appropriation was for the purpose of
introducing new varieties of grains, grasses,
vegetables, ETC., in sections where they
might prove of value The little packets of
seed were found by congressman and repre-
sentatives to be just the thing to dispense
as favors among their constituents, hence
their vociferous demands for more and yet
more The appropriation grew annually
until it reached very large sum- No regard
has been paid to the quality or character of
the Seeds hence the contractor furnished
any kind and of any age.
An inventory of the packets forwarded
last February to the editor of The Ranch
with the compliments of Senator Foster
showed one package each of watermelon,
lettuce, tomato, radish, beet, and parsnip.
In other years we have had beans, cucum-
bers, canteloupe, cabbage corn and cauli-
flower. They are of the ordinary varieties
TO be found in any seed store, and could be
bought for a few cents. The idea is that
when farmer receives one of these seed
packets it tickles his vanity to be thus re-
membered by the Distinguished One, and it
clinches his friendship and vote forever
after. 1t is really an insult to the intelli-
gence of any farmer that he should be set
down as such an easy mark as to be BAN
boozled by the gift of a few worthless
garden seeds.

Fifty Cents a Year.

Hereafter the subscription price of The
Ranch will be fifty cents per annum.
The object in making this reduction is to
increase our circulation, to the fullest pos
sible extent. We want our paper in every
farmers home in the Northwest. By put
ting the price so low, there is no farmer
who can afford to be without it. AS is well
known the subscription price does not near
ly pay the cost of production of such paper
as ours. 1t is the income from the advertls-
ing that pays expenses and makes the proht
for the publisher. The demand of the adver-
tiser today is the largest and most complete
circulation possible by paper in its field.
We cut the price in two and make the adj
vertiser pay the difference. Heretofore
conditions have been such, because of the
fact that Our agricultural population has
been sparse and scattered, that we have been
obliged to charge a dollar per annum in
order to make our paper success. With
the great influx of population in the rural
districts throughout the Northwest states,
and the increased support being received,
together with great Improvements that have
been made in our machinery and equipment,
we find that we are able to make the reduc-
ton of 100 per cent in Our subscription price.
There will no longer be any excuse for any
farmer of the Northwest sending east for a
farm paper in order to save money on the
subscription price, because our price is as
low as any of them, and our paper, dealing
with local farming conditions is better than
any eastern farm paper can possibly be-
There are many of our subscribers, our
old, tried and true friends, who think dol
lar is low enough for our paper. To these
we will say, just continue making your re-
mittance of one dollar, sending us the name
of your neighbor, and we will enter both
subscriptions for year, or we will date your
subscription ahead for two years.
The Ranch expects to be able to double
its circulation within a short time. Ger
tainly we do not believe that anyone can
afford to be without the paper so far as the
price is concerned, and as to quality-well
we are making as good paper as our sup
port will possibly permit We have never
claimed that we issue the best paper in the
world. We believe however that it is as
good as some, and better than most papers

Notwithstanding political differences that
have arisen between Governor Mcbride and
WV. Robertson, the governor has refused
to accept the resignation of Robertson as
member of the St. Louis Fair Commission of
this state. The governor states that the ap-
pointment does not abridge Robertson's
right as citizen or newspaper man to criti-
else any act of the administration. 1t is
fortunate that this view has been taken, for
Robertson is very competent man for the
position, and his resignation would be
distinct loss to the board.
