successful dairymen, as we'll as the
conductors of the various experiment
stations, a characteristic and distln-
gushing type of animal for the profit
able dairy COW has become generally
recognized by them. 1t is now pretty
generally conceded that the breed does
not carry with it the weight in select
ing the dairy COW as do the dairy type
and temperament. The breed
chiefly in this, that in some breeds the
dairy type and temperament are Tar
more common than is the case in 9TH
ers. Thus it is of Importance in the con-
Quoting of the dairy business that one
must have that discernment which
calls for not only the judicious selec-
ton of the COWS that are to constitute
the herd, but the maintenance of such
a herd by a like selection of the heifer
calves as well.
Other things being equal, it is clear
to be seen that all business rules
would require that the best breed for
the dairyman's purpose be the one

recognized maxim. Such is the foun-
dation principal upon which rests the
business of successful dairying. Any
other rule of conduct is certain to
lead to Indifferent results and failure.
The principles that lead to this point
are logical and easily followed and
practiced. Once having secured for
the herd a profitable dairy COW, very
careful management and care become
all important, in order that the COW be
valuable as such, for a reasonable
number Of years. Indifferent care and
attention will soon very much impair
her value and usefulness. Her treat
ment should be uniformly kind and
gentle. Her udder requires daily at
tention, in order that it be kept
healthy and whole. The milk should
be drawn gently and completely. Her
feed should be largely succulent and
milk producing kind, with which the
COW should be literally and systemat-
ically supplied. With proper care in

One of the troubles nurserymen say
they meet with comes from customers
desiring large fruit bushes and trees.
1t is only customers of long standing
who know they can rely on the nur-
seryman's word, who are satisfied to
plant young stock in preference to
older. An example was related of one
who wished a number OF currant
bushes and who would be satisfied
with nothing but those of large size.
Explanations that younger plants
would do better were in vain, the old
plants had to be secured. Then ad-
vice was requested as to the pruning
of them. The advice was rendered to
cut the bushes back almost to the
ground. This the customer objected
to, saying he wanted large bushes to
start with; and so he planted them
as they were. Nearly all lived, for
the gooseberry is not hard to trans
plant, but, practically no new wood
was made, so that there would be no
fruit the coming year. Had the plants
been cut down as recommended,
number of new shoots would have fol-
lowed fruit-bearing source for the
coming year. In pruning established
gooseberries it is right to look to the
securing of a lot of young shoots by
cutting away some of the older ones
annually And if young shoots cross

The proper selection of the COW for
the dairy herd requires certain spe-
cial knowledge, since every COW is
not a dairy COW. Indeed, were every
heifer calf that is born permitted to
grow to maturity, probably not one in
ten would prove to be a COW that
would do more than to pay her board,
and not one in twenty would prove to
be reasonably profitable dairy cow
1t will be readily seen, then, that he
who does not possess some knowledge
of dairy COW points, would be at
great disadvantage in choosing ami
mails for a dairy herd. He would be
fortunate indeed, if in the selection of
dairy of ten COWS he secured one
that should prove to be profitable.

wherein the largest percentage of
heifers possess the characteristic
dairy type referred to. These appear
to be the three breeds: Jerseys,
Guernseys and Holsteins, all of which
have proven their adaptability to
Washington conditions; and as re-
CARDS preference, it would appear that
their popularity is in the order named.
In order that the quality of the
herd be maintained or improved,
suitable sire is indispensable. With
out such the quality begins to suffer
and fall off with the first crop of
calves. A herd can lose in one year

the postoffice department. This, to-
gether with the fact that our county
ten years ago commenced the con-
struction of a system of wagon roads
and has kept persistently at it from
that time to the present, with the re-
suit that but very few isolated farms
now remain, and Whatcom county
claims, without fear of contradiction,
to have more miles of good roads than
any county or section of the great
northwest.
A fruit and vegetable cannery has
lately been established in the county,
which will no doubt soon be followed
by others, thus making home mar
ket for large amount of farm pro-
duce that would otherwise go to
waste.
Whatcom county, as is the case in
all the Puget Sound country, was but
a few years ago virgin forest, and
the farmer had to hew his home out
of the wilderness, and, while we have
many acres of land being cultivated
among the stumps, there are many
broad fields now that show no indica-
ton of the former growth of timber;
the binder is beginning to take the
place of the cradle, and the moving
blade is a relic of the past and the
whistle of the steam thresher is now
heard in the land, where the farmer
but few years ago wrestled with the
fail staff.
In conclusion, I wish to say that, If
you want to farm wheat only, don't
come to w natcom county, or if you
believe corn is the only field product,
stay away While our wheat yield is
large per acre, it is too soft for mill
ing, and is only grown for stock feed,
while our nights are too cool for corn,
other than the sweet, delicious table
corn, which with us is perfection here.
During the second week of the COM
ing October our county will hold its
fourth annual fair in the city OF Bel
bingham, to which all the readers OF
this article are invited to be present
and partake of the hospitality OF our
people and see the products OF our
field and shop, thus learning the cause
that goes far toward making our peo-
pie the most happy and contented in
the great northwest.

RAILROADS RECOGNIZE
ELECTRIC LINE

CLEVELAND, o., March For the
first time in history the railroads have rec
ognized an electric line, making traffic
alliance which marks wide departure in
the railroad business. The Western New
York excursion committee, at its meeting
Just concluded at Cambridge Springs, elect.
ed to membership the Chautauqua Trac
ton company. The action is sensational
since it contravenes decision made by
every traffic association in the United
States. There has been tacit under
standing among the steam railroad traffic
association that in no instance should
there be any affiliation between the steam
roads and the traction companies. There
has always been a certain luminosity be-
tween the two sets of railroads, which has
continued to grow as the electric lines
encroached upon the business of the older
railroads. These things being understood,
the action of the railroads in the West
ern New York excursion committee in ac-
cepting into full membership a traction
company is all the more remarkable.

WHO SHOT JOHN BECKMAN?

Andrew Syyninaa, the Russian Finn,
held at the county Jail on the charge of
shooting John Beckman at the "tie camp
between Carbonate and Wil1eson, has
been released, as it was proven to the sat
isfaetion of the county attorney that the
man was not within a thousand yards of
the place when the shooting occurred, and
witnesses declared that he never had a
pistol.
Beckman, it was shown, was shot by
someone from within the house, and not
by anyone on the outside.
There is bad blood between the Firms
at Carbonate and Wilkeson and the other
nationalities found in those towns and
whenever trouble arises in which Finn is
involved one can be sure that his coun-
trymen will shield him if possible.
1t was reported to The Times that the
controversy started over buying drinks for
a woman inhabitant of the road house. in
which it appeared that the woman made
some reply to one of the men that pro-
voked a slap from him, after which the
row started. Luke Nightingale, propri-
etor of the place, whose reputation is not
of the best, and who carries two pistols
all the time, joined in the scrimmage, in
which Beckman was forced out of the
house and down into cellar. Immediate
ly after the man had fallen into the cellar,
Nightingale called for a lantern, and then
a shot rang out.
There is where the mystery begins.
Nightingale claims that as Syyninaa ran
out he grabbed one of the pistols from
Nightingale's pocket and fired at Beck.
