PROSPECTS Of STATE UNIVERSITY
New School Opens With Promise of Lc~rest Attend
ance in It's History.

man year are taken in definite and
'."'0'y feIated lines The student is
also required to take one year more
OF history and one of English. leaving
SIX courses entirely free. These can
De CHOSEN as the student pleases. the
ueSlgh OF the course being to secure
Dy dehnlte requirements that the stu.
dent shall be thoroughly versed in GER
ain subjects, but to leave him the op-
ton OF choosing others on general lines
OF which he may wish to have a gen
a knowledge. The opportunity is
thus given for the student to secure a
wider general training and at the same
time do justice to his special tastes
n abilities. This wider range of SUBJ
Jects, however, brings special burden
upon the faculty, and it causes some
surprise that the faculty can offer so
large a number of courses. This is
only done at the expense of time and
energy that tax severely the mental
n physical endurance of the profess
sors. 1t is believed that the instruc-
tors in the university are doing to-day
fully 40 per cent more instruction work
than those Of any other institution Of
similar grade. Many are carrying 20
TO "a hours or more Of recitatiOns per
week, while other and more favored
institutions require from 8 to Is at the
most.
But the graduates Of the institution
are proving by their success the ex'
cellence of the instruction they have
received in their alma mater. They
are gradually coming to take places OF
responsibility and making their infu
ence felt throughout the state. This
will be more and more true in the flu
ture, since the graduates of the law
school are certain to exercise an ever
Increasing influence. The influence o.
Payne in the legislature will soon be
multiplied many fold by others who
will make their way into places of re
sponsibility. The graduates of thu
university are more and more sough
are gradually taking the highest posi-
tons and are doing most s~uccessfu
work. In nearly every section of tn
state it's graduates are now to b.
found, either as principals, leadin:
teachers in the high schools, as count
superintendents. or even in the lowe
grades. Everywhere their work is SUI
cessful and more and more the unlyel
sity is called upon to furnish cand'
dates to fill vacancies in the schools.
The new department of engineering
under the efficient and scholarly leac
ership of DR.. Pell, is soon going to SUI
ply another want by furnishing con
petent men for engineering work an
allied fields.
The change in the business depar
ment. by which the department OF cor
merce has been raised from a sing
preparatory year to two years OF II
college work, only marks the gener'
change that is taking place in the un
versity. More and more college wor
is coming to the front and preparation

In reply to Mr.. Wright's inquiries, l would
say that [ am not able to throw any light
on his water condition Such things differ
so materially in different localities that
man is not prepared to judge outside OF his
own surroundings. His selection of apples
is good The Stayman Winesap may not
prove to have all the good qualities of the
old Winesap. Calling an apple Winesap,
even with the name of such an eminent man
as Mr. Stayman prefixed, will not give it the
good points of the old apple. The Stayman
Winesap is a bigger apple than it's namesake,
but will it bear as we'll and keep as we'll? I
don know. Only by thorough testing can
we intelligently answer these questions. But
the other apples mentioned we know-they
are thoroughly tried and can be safely
planted almost anywhere

OBSERVATIONS.
By G.. L. Smith.

O. D. Sullivan of Olympia finds his pigs
very profitable supplement to the dairy. He
is breeding Poland Chinas, and feeds so that
he can market them at six months OF age,
when they will dress two hundred pounds
each In addition to clover pasture and skim
milk, they are fed small ration of corn
meal, not to exceed one hundred pounds each
during the six months Mrs. Sullivan, how
ever, thinks that the same amount Of milk,
clover and corn fed to poultry produces
larger profit than when it is fed to the hogs.
Rev. F. B. Utter is one of the many Metho-
dist ministers who finds rest and recreation
in the horticultural field. He has ten acres
of irrigated land at Wenatchee on which he
has growing about 1000 fruit trees. Of
these, 100 are Bing and Royal Ann cherries,
400 peach trees and the balance apple
mostly late keeping red winter varieties. He
thinks ten acres is all the land one man
needs, as he finds more work than he can
do in caring for that. He thinks more at
tention should be given to dairying, and is
much interested in that subject, although he
only keeps one cow, little Jersey, from
which he sells so cents worth Of milk per
day, after supplying the needs of the family.
Capt M. R. Flint, veteran of the Civil
War, and an old resident of Minnesota,
came West two years ago in search OF a
milder climate, and concluded to locate on
the hills in the western part Of Stevens
county, near Meyers Falls. He has fine
farm Of $50 acres only part OF which is
under cultivation. He is carrying on mixed

shelter is being provided and more attention
given to growing winter feed. Both red
and alsike clover produce well, although
very little is grown. Mangels, carrots and
rutabagas produce large crops, and are used
extensively in winter feeding. Wherever
a farmer has begun to improve his dairy
and his methods in dairying, there seems
to be an increase of interest in swine and
poultry, both of which have proven very
profitable when properly fed and cared for.
The average yield of milk is 4 per cent.
butter fat. The average price of butter
is 2712 cents per pound.
H. r. Schildnecht, of Wenatchee, who is
orcharding for pleasure rather than profit,
is quite an enthusiastic horticulturist, a
careful observer, constantly experimenting
and well-informed regarding varieties, meth
DDS OF planting, pruning and combating
insect pests. He has small home orchard,
where he has tested a large number of
varieties. He believes in the liberal use Of
barn-yard manure; thinks it takes two or
three years to get results. He had several
hundred boxes of choice apples this year,
above what were needed for home use, which
he sold at good prices, but he says if he
were planting a commercial orchard he
would not plant more than three, or, posi-
bly, four, varieties. His preference would
be First, Winesap; second, Jonathan;
third, Rome Beauty, and if fourth, Nam
moth Black Twig. He has a tree of the
new Winter Banana that he is delighted
with. He ordered one tree, which came by
mail 1t was very small, but he planted it
with care and it grew finely, and began
bearing the third year. The tree seems
hardy, is thrifty grower, bearing album
dainty and regularly. The fruit runs uni
form in size and color, good four tier, bright
scarlet on one side, delicate transparent
greenish yellow on the other, with rich
spicy flavor all it's own. Although slightly
reminding one of the Banana aroma, it is
sub-acid, and at it's best about Christmas.
More of dessert than cooking apple. He
does not regard either the Newtown Pippin
or Spitzenberg as profitable apples to plant
around Wenatchee He has some Wolf River
that produce abundantly, high colored, three
tier apples; and although he has always
sold them at good prices, he would not rec
Ommend it for commercial orchard.

farming stock, grain, hay, vegetables and
fruit. He has an orchard of 5000 apple
trees, 500 cherry trees, with some pear, plum
and peach trees. He likes the climate very
much and has land that is very productive
without irrigation, and which is never dam
aged by killing frosts and has no trouble
with insect pests. All the fruit trees are
free from disease of any kind.
Chris. Sorenson, Of Greys, has fine herd
of h-grade and full-blood Jersey COWS,
with fine full FLOODED bull at the head of
the herd. He has hand separator and
makes butter at the farm Nearly one-half
the herd are heifers, and yet Mr.. Sorenson' s
receipts for butter average trife over 800
per COW per year for the entire herd The
major portion of this is made from pasture
The winter feed consists of mixed hay, oats
and roots. The roots are fed in the barn
after milking and never give any bad fla
vor to the butter The root crop is prin-
cipally rutabagas, which yield as high as
fifty tons per acre; carrots and mangles are
prefers the rutabagas. His herd is being
constantly tested, sorted and improved
e. l.. DuTulo, WHO Has D0Ou operating Cno
creamery at Montesano, reports that the
business is steadily increasing. There is
a local demand at good prices for all the
butter he can make. He began with sew
enty-fve pounds per day in 1901, increased
to three hundred and fifty pounds per day
in 1902, and during the summer Of 1903 has
made as high as nine hundred pounds per
day. Nearly all the milk is produced from
pasture. The majority of the cows come
fresh in the spring. AS there is very little
sailing practiced, there is marked falling
off in the milk supply by the LIST of Au-
gust. The cream is all separated by hand
separators, and gathered by the creamery.
There is a growing interest in winter dairy
ing. And large increase in the number
Of fall calves is noticed
