THAT RESERVOIR LAW.

Editor The Ranch: Please find enclosed
,,heck for adj | enclose new copy
Wapato is new postoffice, established
At Simcoe Station; Mr.. Alex. McCredy,
P. M.
AS to the reservoir law I think it is inn
,erial. The farmers of Washington need as
sistance in this great enterprise, but let the
helping hand be friendly not mercenary
generous not grasping.
IF water becomes an article of commerce
controlled by capital the future of Washing
ton is questionable.
Let the water run free as the winds blow
and her future is to be marked like her past
by an unprecedented development.
Such law would be menace to Our free
dom. I hope The Ranch will turn the gall
ing" fire of all it's pens against it.

Future of the Creamery Industry.

H. I. Weinstein, manager Of the whole
sale butter and egg house bearing his name,
at Seattle, has returned from a three weeks
trip throughout the dairy districts of the
middle states, where he went to study the
conditions and methods of conduct OF the
most progressive dairymen and leading
creameries He found very general prosper
ity prevailing among the rural classes Wher-
ever he went, and business conditions IN the
cities in remarkably healthy state.
Dairying in the middle states has been I'm
dergoing a complete revolution or rather
evolution from the old method of milk-haul-
ing to local creameries, to the more modern
time and expense-saving cream gathering
system, until now the cream is shipped dl-
rect from large radius to be manufactured
into butter by colossal plants The price
for the commodity is fixed by the New York
market and payments for cream are based
upon that price less the difference in cost OF
manufacture.
Mr.. Wenstein says that this system,
which is operated to some extent on this
coast, will undoubtedly continue to grow
more popular as time goes on. This does
not necessarily imply that all the butter will
be made in the Cities in fact, he is of the
opinion that the highest quality of butter
but that central creameries will be run in
leading dairy sections as for instance the
Yakima, and the cream delivered to the cen
trail creamery and there manufactured into
the highest and most perfect article, by
skilled buttermakers. Mr.. Weinsteln is SO
confident of the ultimate and enduring sue
cess of this system that he has put in at
Yakima one of the finest creameries in the
Pacific Northwest with the best trained men
he can secure, and proposes that the quality
of the product shall be A. No. in every
particular
In connection with his cream gathering
routes Mr. Weinstein would like to encour-
age the poultry business among his patrons,
agreeing to pay the highest prevailing price
for eggs and poultry, gathering same on each
trip of the wagons. This plan is feasible,
IN fact being practiced in the more thickly
settled dairy sections of the east, and it
seems to us is we'll worthy thorough trial
by the Yakima farmers.

Don't Let Blind Prejudice Rule You in the
Breeding Business.

BreeQ1nS BUSINESS.
One in picking up farm and especially
dairy papers, readily observes the prejudice
on the one hand and the enthusiasm on the
other of different breeders for their "pet
breeds"
The question is asked by this one and
that:
"What breed do you recommend me to
handler"
Then watch for the answer. Mr.. Blank
tells of his ''pet breed" and of course, in his
estimation, there are no others like them.
Then Mr. Blank is answered by the breeder
of another breed, and you will notice the
repetition that I have before referred to of
this enthusiasm.
This is all very we'll in its way, but is not
exactly fair to any breed in giving it an
opportunity for trial.
While I breed special stock Of cattle,
want to say in all fairness, admire not the
breeder because of the certain breeds that he
is endeavoring to promote, but because he
is persistent individual. He breeds tor
purpose, that is to perpetuate the good quail
tiles of that breed. There is in every breed
good, bad and indifferent ones; no one breed
holds the supremacy.
Where is the man, be he Jersey, Holstein,
Guernsey or Ayrshire breeder, or any of the
milking strains OF cattle, ana ii ne De honest
will not admit he has had or has at present,
as I do now admit some good, bad and in
different COWS in his herd.
My advice to beginners in breeding any
kind of stock is to stick to the one you think
will please you and you will get better re-
suits. If the Jersey strikes your fancy, breed
the Jersey if the Holstein, then become
breeder of Ho1steins; and [ want to add
right here that this not only applies to the
breeding of cattle, but to poultry and swine
as we'll. To substantiate what have said
the writer desires to cite some little expert
ence in the selling of dairy cows:
You may have ever so good and profitable
a COW to sell, and you sell her to man
not lover of stock nor dairyman, and
what is the result? The answer is plain
the cow is a fai1ure NO, the COW is not a
failure; it is the purchaser AS a result, that
cow is condemned and is again resold and
II lucky enough to fall into proper hands,
she may redeem herself if not ruined by the
previous owner. Or, in other words, have
seen good COWS ruined by poor dairymen,
and what were so-called poor COWS made
profitable ones by men who were adapted to
the dairy business
Again, let me say admire just as much
the breeder of Holsteins, Jerseys, Herefords,

A Farmers Institute Specialist for the Office
of Experiment Stations.

The secretary of agriculture has created
new position in the Office of Experiment
Stations in order to bring the United States
department of agriculture into closer touch
with the great farmers institute movement
throughout the country Last year about
200 Institutes were held in Al states and
were attended by over 100000 persons. The
institutes have thus become a powerful
agency for the practical education of farm
ers and the movement has reached point
where it is felt that national office cooper
ating with the state managers of institutes
NAV be of great benefit Much of the work
of the Institutes is done with the aid of the
agricultural colleges and experiment sta
tons, and it was therefore deemed appro-
pirate that the department should extend
aid to the institutes through the office of
experiment stations, which represents the
secretary in his relations to the colleges and
stations and which has already done much
to promote the general interests of agricul-
tural education in this country. The new
officer, who is to be called farmers insti-
tute specialist, will be under the general ST.
pervision of the director of the office of ex
pertinent stations, and have his headquar-
tiers at the department at Washington. AS

Pennsylvania, has received the appointment
and will soon enter on his new duties. Pro-
lessor Hamilton was born on a farm in Jun

army of the Potomac for three and one-half
years, becoming a sergeant major of the

performing the duties of SuDerintendent of

charges. debt and legacies. were sub
mitted 10 tho appellate court today.
The complainant filed demurrers 10 DE.
fendant's pleas and the court was asked
today TO consider the demurrers.
One plea was non est factum and issue
wa. found I'M that. The second plea was
actio non. the defense set up being that

er Laws no executor except an executor
I'm his own wrong shall be holden TO pail
I'm merne process, nor shall his own goods
or estate be attached or taken In execu-
tion. except upon suggestion or waste Oh
which there is none In this case.
The third plea is that the liability OF
Adams Is limited To the amount OF the
assets OF said estate. which came 10 his
knowledge or possession and that the as
sets were not sufficient by faithful and
careful administration TO pay in full the
legacies I'm said will and that the execu-

The fifth plea is that defendant has fled
his account with the probate court OF Cen

tate not enough to pay all legacies In full
and that this account has been approved
and no appeal taken.
Complainants admit these pleas would
