Beware of Substitution.

Owing to the wonderful popularity which JELL-O has attained since its in- troduction many inferior limitations have been placed on the market by unscrupG- lous manufacturers. who hope to make profit from the.r goods sold in competition with JELL-O on the strength of our ex tensive advertising.
 Beware of the grocer who tries to sell you something else claiming it is Just as good" as JELL-O. No honest grocer will offer to substitute for JELL-O.
 JELL-O Is sold and used more exten- sively throughout the world than any similar food product.

MT. Davidson Likes Cuba.

Simon Davidson, a well known cotton buyer. returned today from a two weeks visit to Havana and he Is delighted with that city and its vicinity and hopes to visit the country again in a short time.
 Havana is a remarkably clean city, said MT. Davidson. and is extremely att tractive. There are many Americans there and many Spaniards and many of our institutions are already in vogue there. The climate Is perfect and from an agricultural point of view the coun- try can not be excelled. Much of the land however. Is undeveloped by foreign industry because of the distrust inspired by the Cubans. who. Mir. Davidson says, are chronically dissatisfied. Mir. David son visited all of the principal points of interest in Havana.

likelihood of strong Pacific Coast mar

Montana is so we'll situated that it

In the Oregonian of a recent date
appears the following After 81 years
of herding sheep, Mr.. Morse comes to
town with $1,000, accumulated by exer-
else of the greatest economy, and pro-
ceeds to have good time, or, in other
words to throw away his money as
fast as possible, and to pour as much
bad whisky as possible down his
throat in limited time. The police
took Mr.. Morse in charge when about
$3.50 had gone in the cause of good
fellowship, and they tried to persuade
their reluctant guest to place the re-
mainder in a bank. This is very
wrong on the part of the police, and
such action is an evidence of paternal-
ism in it's most pernicious form. There
are scores of men whose life altern-
ates between laborious toll, combined
with penuriOus economy, and the most
unrestrained extravaganza. Far bet
ter for the shepherd coming to town
with the saving of years, were he
sandbagged at the city limits and re-
lieved of his wad. Then he could go
straight back to hea' thy work, and
would not damage his insides with
fire-water.

A contribution from DR.. D. E. Sal
mon Chief of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is published In
this issue, to which we call the par
ticular attention of dairymen OF the
state. DR.. Salmon supports DR.. Mel
son, the state veterinarian, in that
he believes dairy COWS affected with
tubercu'osis are a menace to the peo-
pie consuming their milk, and that
measures should be put into effect
by the state with a view to eradicat-
ing the disease We understand that
DR.. Nelson will appeal to the legisla-
ture at it's forthcoming session for
an appropriation to be used in this
direction.
AS stated by DR.. Nelson in his COM
munication published in our issue OF
Nov. 1st four out of seven herds
tested by him contained COWS affect
ed with tuberculosis, the total num-
Der of COWS in the seven herds be-
ing 283, and of these 81, or one-third,
had the disease. This seems to dem
onstrate that tuberculosis prevails
very generally among the dairy herds
in this state and while The Ranch
does not wish to alarm the dairymen
unduly, certain it is that when such
a high authority as DR.. Salmon sup
ports DR.. Nelson in his contention
that the question can only be
handled by resort to radical meas
ures it will be seen that they are
face to face with a very grave prob
lem. We are securing additional data
on this subject which will give full
information regarding the disease and
also the methods employed in the
eastern states and which we will
publish in following issues.

What One Farmer Has Done

Wheat farming is not without its
attractions when a man can in
single season raise 200 acres of wheat,
the value of which is equal to the val
ue of the land.
This has been done near Almota,
Whitman county, this year by AleXan-
der Hickman. He has 200 acres of
red Russian wheat that will average
55 bushels to the acre. 1t will run
60 pounds to the bushel, and, with the
quotation at 81 cents per bushell, as it
was yesterday, the average return
from this single crop will be $34 80
an acre-about the cash value of the
land as it is now rated in that local
ity.
1t will be difficult to find any better
investment than that in this part of
the country or in any other. Of
course all farms will not bring such
returns, but the average yield is good,
and for some varieties of wheat a
higher price will be obtained than
that for which the red Russian could
be sold.
Taking the wheat farms as a whole,
the returns this year will be hand
some. Prices are likely to continue
strong, and may go above the highest
of last year. The man who has a
few hundred acres in wheat need not
worry about the immediate future.
If he has a large acreage, a substan-
tial fortune is assured him
Don't keep n Gull over winter They
won't pay their board and keep.
Your chickens need lots of air with
out drafts rather than warmth.
Pure water is as essential in the
coop as in the dairy barn.
Give the chickens all the green stuff
possible this season and note the re-
suits.
Poultry that "have to scratch for
their living" live better and longer
than the lazy kind
Plenty of grit in the chickens diet
ing gives 'em a better grip on life.

Philippine Bureau of Agriculture.

Dr. G.. E. Nesom, state veterinarian
of South Carolina, and who for the
past six years has been professor
of veterinary medicine at the Glenn
son agricultural college, recently re-
signed his position, and accepted the
office of chief of the bureau OF agri-
culture in the Philippine Islands, and
sailed on the steamer COptic from
San Francisco on September 18TH
Clemson college is on the old John
G. Calhoun home stead near Clemson,
S. G. While holding the position he
did, he had many opportunities to in
form himself in regard to the health
and diseases of horses, cattle and
other domestic animals in the semi
tropical climate of that state. The
special line of work to which he will
devote his attention will be dealing
with the introduction of farm ami
mails into the Philippines, and deal
with and overcome native diseases.
There is an infectious disease called
surra that kills off imported horses,
and the cattle are affected by foot
and mouth diseases which originally
came from Europe and were introduce
ed into New England but few years
ago. Congress appropriated a liberal
sum for it's suppression and 1t was
stamped out when but half the money
was used. The government officers
bought up every animal affected, or
that had been exposed, and by prompt
killing and complete isolation, put a
stop to it in short time.
Concerning stock in the Philippines,
DR.. Nesom said; "The native horses
are small but they are usually i'm
mune to the diseases that end the
lives of the horses brought to the ISL
ands from other localities and a diff
ferent climate. Our first object will
be to introduce horses suitable for
draft purposes and to get them ac-
climated In order to accomplish this.
the horses will be purchased where
the climatic conditions are like or
similar to those of the islands. We
are now shipping a cargo of horses
