none whatever on the trees that we sprayed.
1t will be noticed that we left out the salt,
thus demonstrating that it was not neces-
sary. That is an important saving i'll the
expense of spraying. One of my neighbors
used the one, one, four formula and claims
that he killed the scale effectually. We may
try that formula to some extent next spring.
1t seems that our new horticultural law
has brought trouble to our state horticul-
tural commissioner. The law leaves the ap-
pontment Of deputy county inspectors
wholly in the hands of the state commits
sioner. In one case he appointed deputy
from another county. This has been re-
sented by the fruit growers in the county
where the deputy has worked. They claim
that there are plenty of good men in their
county and that there was no need of an i'm
portation. One of the objections the writer
named against this law was that it put too
much power into the hands of the state COM
missioner. The law makes the state horti-
cultural commissioner too much of an auto
crat to suit the American people.

Horticultural Notes
By r. Walden

There is nothing remarkable about that
But this friend showed by his letter that he
knew nothing about the apple market except
what he was told by the apple buyers. APP
pie buyers are human and are in the business
for what they can make in dollars and cents.
A grower is in dep1orable condition who
knows nothing about the market except
what he can learn from the buyers The
grower should for his own interest study the
market. For this reason he should take one
or more good fruit journals. The writer OF
these notes purposes to keep before the read
ers of The Ranch the general condition OF
the apple market 1t is we'll for the grower
to keep in touch with the commission men
in some of the large cities. They can fur
nisl him pointers that will do him good.
And by commission men | do not mean
those who buy and sell, but those who do
a strictly commission business. Such men
are not so much interested in bearing the
market as those who simply buy and sell
When crop of fruit is raised the work of
the grower is but half done. He must sell
his fruit This is a no less important step
than the raising of the fruit and some men
fail at this point There is class of men
who always fish for suckers. Some fruit
buyers belong to this class. They are hunt
ing around for some man who does not
know anything about the size of the crop
nor the condition of the market and by tell
ing him few "whoppers" they land him as
Sucker"
AS sample of the "whoppers" that some
buyers can tell | will mention the fact that
| had a letter from buyer a few days ago
in which he states that the east has the larg-
est crop on record Now that man knew
that statement was false or he didn't know
anything about the matter and what is the
difference? Even the National Apple Buy
ers' Association, in its recent meeting at
Niagara Falls, gives that statement the black
eye The fact is he was trying to catch me
as Sucker" | know better than that
statement and so does any one who reads the
papers.
promised some reader of The Ranch to
give my method of keeping apples over
winter | do not put my apples in cellars
they are too warm. 1t must be remembered
that apples, to keep we'll, must be kept COOL
"A temperature of 81 to IS is about right
But we cannot control the temperature eX-
cept in cold storage plant and even then
only with extra care. My method is as fol
lows dig down into the ground about one
spade length and about seven feet wide
The length may be anywhere from few
feet to several hundred according as the de-
mands require. Into this trench 1 put
coat of good clean straw three or four inches
thick Then [ pour down the apples and
make a rick of them just as high as | can
without the apples running over the sides
/ cover this rick with straw the same thick
ness as under them Next | cut boards six

come close to them. These boards are COW
cred with dirt three or four inches thick. The
ends may be left open till quite cold weather
is threatened and then closed up. Apples
put up in this way will keep with less loss
than when put up in any other way except
cold storage These ricks can be opened
section at time, in the winter and the APP
pies taken out and hauled to the packing
cellar. Nothing but perfectly sound apples
should be put away in this manner.
x x
The wide awake fruit grower must learn
that some varieties of what are called winter
apples will not keep we'll through the entire
winter. The Jonathan, one of Our best ap
pies, is not long keeper Neither is the
Mammoth Black Twig (Arkansas) The
Ben Davis, Mo. Pippin and Winesap are
all good keepers, but in this respect the Ben
D. leads them all. Sell off your apples that
will not keep we'll and hold on to the long
keepers if you have to keep any. These put
away in the manner given above will give
you fairly satisfactory results. There will
be some loss and that must be reckoned on.
E1dred Jennie, who has spent the summer
in the Yakima valley making observations
on the habits of the codling moth has re-
turned to Pullman. We have enjoyed his
visits to Our ranch very much. He is quiet
fellow and will never intrude himself on any
one, but if you encourage him he can furnish
large amount of information on bugs We
have helped him all we could and he has
been help to u.s. By his help and Our own
experiments and observations we know
more about the codling moth than we ever
knew before. We have settled the fact that
the codling moth does not pupate after Sept.
9Th. enne says that about North Yakima
it does not pupate later than August Goth.
These are important facts to the man who
uses bands on his trees in fighting the cod
ling moth. For as soon as the larvae cease
to turn to pupae we can stop taking the
bands off Our trees. The larvae will remain
there till spring and then one taking off the
bands will do. This is saving of labor and
expense.
Mr. enne has demonstrated that late in
the season the insects remain longer In the
pupa state Instead of II to ID days for
pupating they will be 20 days or more. This
is an important fact to know in Our war on
this our worst enemy to apple growing.

Last spring we had few indications of
the San Jose scale in our orchards. Wher-
ever we could see the slightest indication of
the scale we sprayed with lime and sulphur
in the proportion of one one, three. That
is, we used one pound of lime and one pound
of sulphur to three gallons of water. This
is stronger than recommended by Prof.
Piper His formula is one, one, four. But
we were anxious to be on the safe side, hence
the use of the stronger solution. Now as to
the results: My sons and | have carefully
looked for the scale on the trees thus spray

The illumination of unnecessary waste is
an important factor in successful manufac-
turing.
In the refining of petroleum there is no
unnecessary waste All the by-products are
utilized to the fullest extent. Hence comes
the Rockefeller millions.
Stacking manure under the caves of the
barn and leaving it to leach for months is
unnecessary waste" Hence comes poor
wornout land poor crops, and poor farmer
Feeding good feed to a poor COW is
wasteful and unsatisfactory business
A stunted pig is an Improbable machine
with which to manufacture meat
The early pullet lays the high priced eggs
"32 cents per doz. paid for eggs was the
sign displayed in the window of Pullman
grocer October Ist.
With clover, peas and oats, and plenty of
roots, grown on the farm the dairyman need
purchase but little grain to form balanced
ration that can be fed to dairy COWS without
waste.
Economy in production is a short, safe
and certain road to larger profits. This will
apply to the manufacturer of eggs, milk or
meat, as we'll as all kinds of machinery and
merchandise.
A domestic animal allowed to run wild,
naturally and logically reverts toward the
wild conditions from which they were re-
claimed Improved animals require inn

The system of buying goods by mail has
made enormous strides throughout the en-
tire country during the past few years, and
d good many firms find it by far the largest
part of their business. Probably no firm in
the Pacific Northwest has given more at
tention to the mail order trade than the
Jones Cash Store, of Portland, Ore. This
firm makes speciality of supplying rural
trade, issuing at frequent intervals a COM
plete price list, giving quotations upon prac--
tically every line of goods. We are told
by Mr. Jones that his mail order trade is
now growing more rapidly than ever be-
fore. Our readers who believe in getting for
their money the most and best value posi-
ble should address the Jones Cash Store for
their Price List, which is mailed free to all
who apply for it.

for the first part Of the day. but prices
slipped back to below last nights level
before the closing and the closing itself
was barely steady. Amalgamated Copper
led the market in point of activity and
was lifted 1% at the top level The
strength and activity of the London mar
ket for copper seemed to be the inspiring
cause of the buying, and copper securities
in other markets sympathized with the
movement. Even United states Steel pre-
ferred had some share in the early
strength of the market. The announce
ment of the, extensive economies con-
templateu by the company were accepted
as promising well for the net earnings of
the corporation. The late reaction in the
market. however, centered in this stock
and its drop to over a point below last
nights price upset the whole list and
wiped out the days gains A consider
able decrease in net earnings was re-
ported by Baltimore & Ohio for Novem-
Der. Sterling exchange developed very
strong tone on strong demand for bills
which was partly attributable to the need
to cover engagements of gold in London
for import. Several hundred thousand dol
lars additional were engaged, today, and
the first arrival of japanese gold at San
Francisco was made available to the New
York banks by Geographic transfer With
an increase in value of exports over last
year of $35, 900 900 and a decrease in value
of imports of $l0.000,O00, the powerful con-
troll of international exchanges in favor
Of New York is made clear. Bonds were

The AIcxandrctta Affair.

1t REQUIRES hard stretch of the
imagination TO conceive Of any trouble
with Turkey. as a result of the recent
affair at AleXandretta. 1t is not denied
that Consul Davis was ihsuited pS
Turkish authorities and even assaulted
by the local officers, while he was CIV
ing assistance to a naturalized Arme-
MAN. This was unfortunate, but it
does not mean that squadron VIII De
dispatched to blow up Beirut or Con-
stantinople off the map. or that there
will be any sort of conflict with the
Turkish government. The naturallzed
Armenian, who was the cause OF the
affair at AleXandretta was unquestion-
ably rcvolutionist. who had given
Turkish authorities lots of trouble. and
who was using his American natural-
iZation papers as q shield to protect
him while he carried on his plots.
There is no doubt that the Armeni-
ans have long had great grievances
against the Turkish government. They
have been massacred by the whole
sale. and have suffered outrages which
have shocked the whole civilized world.
The powers of Europe should long ago
have interferred in the name of hui
manity and put an end to the situation.
But all that is another story. The re-
cent assassinations among the Arme-
mans. in their colonies i'll several OF
our great cities have somewhat opened
the eyes of the American people TO
the quarrels which are going on among
the Armenians themselves and the
trouble which they are always brewing.
whether at home or in some other part
of the world.
Nearly all of our disagreement with
Turkey, in the past, have been caused
by our willingness to shield the Arme-
mans and bear their burdens. Their
revolutionary leaders by becoming
american citizens. and appealing to our
consuls to get them out of their diff
culties, in which their plots against
Turkey had involved them, have tres
passed for years upon the good nature
OF our government. IT was never in

abused senator from Utah. has been
heard from at last, and her utterances
are of general interest. She says that
she has the best husband in the world !;

That means everything. 1t includes
about everything that a happy wife

She says that she and Senator Smoot

The metropolitan book dealers report
the pleasing fact that this holiday
season is bringing a greater demand for
Bibles than has been known for many
years. With churches everywhere cry
ing out against religious Indifference, it
is gratifying to hear that the Book of
all books is having q greater sale than
ever. The sacred Scriptures are no
longer confined to common and
unattractive binding. but beautifully
Illustrated editions are published,
making the book as bright and attrac-
tive as any volume can be made. AT
the same time there are editions on the
market so cheap that no family, or in
dividual, can plead inability to possess
q copy.
