Horticultural Notes
BY r. Walden

and am frank to say that | do not like 1t.
| was asked the other day why | had not
written something about this law for the
pages of The Ranch, and my answer was
that | was somewhat in the condition of an
OK driver of whom [ heard i'll my boyhood
days. When his oxen got ugly and would
not pull to suit him. he was in the habit of
Swearing like the army in Flanders" APP
plying the OK goad freely in the meantime.
The result was magical and the oxen would
pull out the load. On one occasion he didn't
swear at all, and when he was asked why
he did not "cuss,' his reply was that he
felt like it, but the oxen were SO bad that he
could not do the subject justice. | wish it
was in my power to praise this new law, for
that would be more pleasant than to find
FAULT
The worst objection to this law is that it
puts too much in the hands of the state hOr
ticu1tural commissioner. If some commits
sioner does not abuse the privileges of this
law it will be marvellous No man can be APP
pointed county fruit inspector without the
sanction of the state commissioner. lie has
it in his power to keep competent man
out of the office of county fruit inspector and
also to put an incompetent man IN. He can
make the examination of county fruit in
spectors too rigid, or he can make it a farce.
In the one case he can keep good man out,
and in the other he can put an incompetent
man in. man will stand good chance
to be appointed state horticultural commits
sioner if he is recommended by the county
fruit inspectors So if the commissioner
wants to be continued in office, there will be
strong temptation to allow only his friends
to be appointed as fruit inspectors. 1t looks
very much as if the law was drawn to favor
the state commissioner. He will be accused
of trying ito feather his own nest" whether
he does it or not If I were state horticult-
ural commissioner I would much prefer that
some one else would settle the competency
of the fruit inspectors.
Another serious objection to the law is
that the county inspector cannot appoint an
assistant in case of an emergency; that
must be done by the state horticultural COM
missioner IF an emergency arises, and it
will sometimes, and the county inspector
needs an assistant, he must notify the COM
missioner and have him appoint this assist
ant. If a man is fit to be county Inspector,
he certainly ought to be able to pick out
an assistant for few days. when there is
rush of business The state commission
er, in most cases, will have to appoint as
sistants on the recommendation of the coun
tv Inspector Then why should he have to
write to Tacoma and wait from two to ten
days before he can get an assistant!
Another objection to the law is the fact
that all the county inspectors were put out
of office and had to make trip to Tacoma
and be examined and then reappointed on

move from the fire and add half pound of
I've and quarter of pint of kerosene. For
use, take gallon of this mixture and dilute
with four gallons more of water and spray
when the aphis appears"
The inspector reports an accident where
these simple directions were not understood.
A gentleman at the south end of the city
boiled the stems in the kerosene, and there
followed an explosion which very nearly cost
him his home and all its contents.
We are now using our new spraying out
fit, and it works like a charm. 1t is great
saving of labor when compared with the
spray pumps worked by hand. Three men
and one team can do as much work in day
as nine men and three teams in the old way.
This means good deal in large orchard.
In fact, such spraying outfit will pay we'll
where man has no more than ten acres to
spray Then it does better work, for it is
difficult to get hands that will keep up
good pressure when using the hand pump.
But good gasoline engine, like the Jack
of All Trades" which is the name of ours,
will keep up constant and uniform pressure
if kept in good order. We set the pressure
on Our engine at 100. Whenever the pres
sure goes above that figure, valve opens
and lets the spray material go back into the
tank There are stop-cocks on the iron rods
at the end of Our hose, and in going from one
tree to another, or in TURNING around at the
end of the rows, we do not stop the engine,
but simply shut off the discharge from the
hose and let the material go back into the
tank. Fairbanks, Morse & Co. put up this
outfit and it was set up and furnished to
us by the Yakima Hardware Co. Geo. B.

Prof c. " Piper of Pullman has sent
Mr. Eldred jennie, one of his most trust
worthy pupils, to the Yakima Valley to
make observations on the codling moth. Mr..
Jenne is young and somewhat diffident but
he is a thorough student and goes at his
work like an old hand He makes his head
quarters at North Yakima which is the right
thing to do, but will carry on his investiga
tons in different parts of the valley. He
has visited the fruit ranch of the writer
and has "bottled up" quite number of the
larvae of the codling moth, and we are keep
ing tab on these bottles and will make
record of the time of pupating and also of
settle a number of questions by these OBJ
servations. The practical bearing of these
observations will be seen in our methods of
fighting this insect. When we know the
time of the Matching of the first brood and
then the time of the second and third, if
there is any third, as many of us believe,
we can time Our different sprayings. Next
year Prof. Piper wishes to follow up the
present years observations by tests of

WOMEN SHOULD ONLY DANCE
WITH HUSBANDS.

The duchess of Marlborough may
have missed triumph by withdraw
ing from the vice regal ball, but at
the same time she escaped the whole
sale criticism heaped upon the atten-
dants of that function by the great
Hindoo organ, Amrita Bazaar Patrika.
"Fifteen hundred people went to the
Delhi ball, says the paper, that
means that we employ 1900 fools in
high stations. European women are
like dolls, trained to give amusement
to their owners, husbands or lovers.
We Hindoos dance under the excite
ment of religious enthusiasm, or hire
dancers for our enjoyment; the Euro
pean makes his wife perform this
work, not only for himself, but for
other men as well. Needless to say,
it's indecent for a girl to dance with
anybody but her brothers or intended
husband; for married woman tc
dance with anybody but her husband
is atrocious. The many unhappy
marriages among Europeans are eth.
er due to the fact that husband and
wife became engaged under the ex
element of the dance, or that either
of the two strayed from the path o.
virtue with third party under the
same banefuI influence"

Mr.. Louis F. Payne, ex-State In
surance Commissioner, and one of the
most prominent leaders of the Repub-
lican party in New York, has..made the
prediction that if Mr.. Roosevelt is
nominated for the Presidency next
year he will be defeated in the Empire
State by 100000 majority and the
Democrats will also elect their candi-
date for Governor and other State
officers. In the course of an interview
regarding the political situation Mr..
Payne said: ''The Republican party
has not man strong enough to be
elected Governor if Roosevelt is the
presidential candidate. I suppose we
will all have to support him, but he is
beaten man. OF course if men like
Bryan control the Democratic conYen-
tion there will be chance, but as it
stands today the President could not
make any sort OF race"

Senator W. B. Bate, of Tennessee,
has often been urged to write book
of "reminiscences, but now declare S
that he is too old to undertake such a
task. The old gentleman served as a
youth in the Mexican war and in the
Confederate army he was reckoned
one of the most intrepid men who ever
wore the gray. From start to finish
he was on the firing line and as colo
mel of his regiment he won deathless
fame on the bloody field of Shiloh. In
that fight he had three horses killed
under him, while he himself and four
members of his family were slmulta-
neously bleeding.

No less than three hundred men are
reported to have deserted from the
United States navy during the month
of March. The authorities at Wash
ington may well deem it necessary to
look into the conditions that cause
these assertions, but the German crit
les who are talking on the subject are
very far astray if they think the men
of the United States navy would be
disaffected in the face of war. There
will be assertions only in times of
peace, and the war call would bring
the men on every line, eager to be up
and doing.

PURE BLOOD.
Necessary to Life.
VinOI Makes it.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP-
TONS AND WEAKNESS.
VinOI ! Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS
WE GUARANTEE IT'S ACTION.

Impoverished blood is sure sign of
internal disorders. We see every day
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all Of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is q
purely scientific preparation.
Vino1 owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tons.
Vinops effect on the stomach is mar
ve1ous. It tones up this, the greatest
it to obtain from the food which is
y
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
81 took Vinol after bad attack of
grippe, and so much good did it do me
that / persuaded my sister to take it.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
tite and her blood was very poor. It
did her as much good as it did me. -
BETSY HABERsHAw, 71s River ST., Fall
River, Mass.
Won't you please come in and
see us? We are always glad to
extol the merits of VinoI.
We will give you back your
money If you don't find Vinol
will do all we claim it will. Could
any one do more for your.

NEW WAY TO FIND WAFER.
Electrical Device That Outdoes Witch
Hazel Wand.

Electricity has pul the witch-hazel
wand and other methods Of determin-
Jig the presence of water under
ground out Of business. Experts have
patented little electrical device
which tells surely of the proximity of
water When its needle begins to
show vibrations il can be stated posi-
lively there is water beneath.
Officials Of the geological survey
have become SO impressed with the
invention that they are giving it
thorough test The new water detec-
to. is something like the seismograph
used for determining earthquake dis
turhances.
BY its vibrations the presence Of
subterranean streams is not only de-
termined but the volume and direction
Of the flow are also accurately re-
corded.
This instrument will be of great
value to the irrigator and farmer, as
It will enable him to drive his wells
where he will find water Frequently
immense sums of money are expended
IN drilling artesian wells, which after
being bored hundreds OF feet are
'aund to be dry.
In tests made with the new cleo
trcal device steel rods are driven a
short distance into the earth and at.
tached to the machine. There is an
attachment something like tle tele,
phone receiver by which the vibra.
tions are converted into sound waves.
The device will not work satsf actor
ily in regions where there are vol
canoes.
The officials of the geological sur
vey believe eventually the device can
be used to indicate the presence Of
oil, but the vibrations caused by Oil
are not SO great as those set up by
water.
