Dairying in Skagit County.

The Mount Vernon Argus evidently
realizes thoroughly the important part
that dairying is destined to play in
Skagit county. Expressions of opinion
have been made by that publication
from time to time, and the following is
among the latest: Zone of the great
and growing industries of Skagit
county is dairying. The man with a
large farm cannot do better than to
keep COWS, for it insures keeping his
farm in good condition. The returns
from a properly managed dairy farm
far exceed the returns from farm that
produces oats and hay alone. For the
farmer whose acres are few and per-
haps partially covered with stumps,
dairying ranks in Importance with seed
raising and market gardening. 1t is
the natural recourse of hundreds of
farmers owning small tracts
cit is safe to predict that within
very few years Mt. Vernon will be the
center of great dairying country
There are we'll nigh limitless possibil-
tiles to this industry in a country that
is conceded by every one to be an ideal
dairy country. At no very distant date
Mt. Vernon should have a milk con-
densing plant like those located in
Kent, Auburn and Chehalis.'

malodorous substances, has become Sc
mi-liquid through decomposition and
should only be used for axle grease,
your kind legislators allow it to be
worked over and sold as renovated
butter
"You cannot buy pure, clean, whole
some oleo-a faultless food product
but you can buy renovated butter.
And now comes the Faculty Club of
the University of Pennsylvania, eats
olio, praises oleo, pays so cents per
pound for oleo, and believe all the time
that it is eating pure butter. And
more yet: Last year L saw in the daily
press how the State Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Pure Food Commission
er and a few of the dairy agents at a
pure food powwow in Cory sat down
and ate cleo at the hotel and knew it
not until the foolish landlord could keep
the joke no longer to himself.
"What will your laboring classes
and the often times much, much poor
er, better educated middle class-spread
upon their bread when they can no
longer purchase oleo9 Can they all af-
ford to pay 35c. per pound for butterg
Well, let them grease their bread with
cottonseed, like the italian, or let them
use purified axle grease (also known and
sold as renovated butter, but more Of
ten sold as straight dairy butter).
ct have seen butter that was year
old, black in color, horrid in odor, ran
cid and full of all kinds of impurities
renovated into nice yellow butter, and
sold as butter.'

Humors of Food Inspection.

That public opinion is by no means
unanimous in support of the eccentric
methods used by some state officials in
the enforcement of so-called pure food
laws is evidenced by the constantly
growing sentiment in favor of legiti-
mate pure food products as shown by
their increasing sales. AS rule peo-
pie, after learning to like these articles
of food, buy and use them without al
lowing themselves to be disturbed by
the hullaballoo raised by cranks and
officeholders Jealous in hanging on to
their jobs. Once in a while citizen
who has taken the pains to inquire
into the merits of the controversy
rises up and delivers himself of few
plain truths, as does this one in the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, melted
thereto by the amusing newspaper &C
counts of Philadelphia dealers who
were alleged to have disguised them
selves as "rubes' and peddled oleo
from door to door as country butter"
"That story" writes the correspond
ent, "made me smile inwardly, out
wardly, visibly, audibly, and in whole
lot of other ways. l am German;
live here in America; conform to Amer
lean laws ana uSdSeS anu dill, W d o0l
tain extent, a good American citizen.
But-here the German blood tells-l
always feel like saying sarcastic things
when some blatant ass gets up and
brays about free America; we are the
people; we govern ourselves, etc., etc..
And, loi and behold, when it comes
down to your daily bread and butter
your statesmen say you must not eat
cleo, the manufacture of this absolute
ly pure article of food must be so hedg-
ed about with laws, restrictions, fines,
odium, etc., that it can no longer be
manufactured.
"The farmer, on the other hand, I'M
kempt, unwashed, in unsanitary sur
roundings, can smear up and put to-
gether any kind of germ-infested mass,
color it yellow as he will, call it any
kind of a fancy creamery name and
sell it as prime, pure, perfect butter.
And, more yet; after this butter has
been lying about in country stores UNI
til it has become rancid and has taken
up odors of tobacco, herrings and other

Toledo Wants Condenser.

The town of Toledo, in Lewis county,
noted for several manufacturing indus
tries, is ambitious to have milk con-
densing factory. Some of the citizens
have taken hold of the proposition and
are canvassing the community to see
what material encouragement can be
obtained toward helping the project
along. 1t would be of great benefit to
the farming community round about if
factory under proper management
were started in that city.

provides himself with a mower and
rake to feed twenty cows over winter,
which net him splendid return dur
ing the year. Spring varieties of
wheat, oats and barley mature within
the limit of the short season in most
years, on account of the long summer
days. The butter industry, however,
is the largest money producer for the
farmer, as the largest money value is
returned for the smallest bulk in ship
ment. This is exceedingly important
where distances are so great and the
market so far away.

Caskie's Narrow Escape

Last Thursday, while on lheir way
to the fiesta at Taos, Messrs. John
Kerr Caskie and Gustayius Speaker OF
Watrous narrowly escaped drowning
In the Rio Coyote between Guadalu'
plta and Lucero. In crossing the
treacherous Arroyo Cisneros with n
light spring wagon one Of the horses
missed the landing, which was badly
washed out beneath the surface OF
the water, Mr., Caskie leaped to the
assistance Of the struggling horse,
when the wagon swung over, break.
ing the pole, and dragging the two
horses into the torrent with Mr.. Cas-.
kie beneath them. 4 moment later,
when the wagon and horses were
sucked under and dashed against the
opposite bank, he was washed out
from the wreckage and. his slicker
becoming entangled in some brush on
the side where his companion was,
Mr.. Speaker with difficulty dragged
him from the water In an unconscious
condition. The bodies Of the horses
We're found twelve miles down the
stream.

Trip From Watrous
To Shoemaker

Agent w. J. Lucas and r. w. Hoyt
put in a strenuous day yesterday max.
ing a trip from Watrous to Shoe
maker and back. They left the city
on an early work train which took
them to Watrous station. At a point
not far from the big bridge, they wad-
ed the still swollen liver, rendered
%treacherous because of shifting quick
sands. They describe the havoc
wrought in the canyon as beyond o..
lief. About four miles of track is
either torn away entirely or badly
undermined. In several places where
the railroad and river before disputed
the passage between the walls of the
canyon, the river now holds undls-
puted sway and the repair gangs have
not only to rebuild the track but also
to find some place in which to Guild
it. The bridge over the Mora near
Shoemaker is gone and the pedes-
trians had another chance to wade.
The major part of the Murphy 4
Glass building was washed away and
the pump house and Porter house Ell.
tirely destroyed,
The Johnsons who live near the
Porter place saw the old man come
to his door when the flood struck his
house, a light in his hand and an ay-
preston of bewilderment on his face,
He turned back into his house which
a moment later swept from its foun.
dations
The gentlemen say that a consider
able quantity of alfalfa was destroyed
on the Brunton ranch. The Ashley
Pond ranch, with all the buildings
except the big brick residence ruined,
presented a melancholy spectacle.

PROsPNRITY,

The elation of our people is not mere- ly because prosperity is In the air: 6 thing looked for as near at hand and sure to arrive, but is founded on the very fact; on things done and doing: on the whirI of business now under way. Our planters tell us this and our uner- chants repeat 1t, but the condition of the banks proves 1t.
 We have not seen hard times In Ala bama for several years, but to show how good these times are. take the pub iished statement of the First National ! Bank. under the Comptroller's call for November 10th (appearing elsewhere in this issue). and compare 1t with the statement for same period last year, and note the increase in the one item that emphasizes more than any other-De- posits. On November i7th. 1908 the deposits of the First National Bank showed S1.099.729.37; the statement published today shows them to be s1, ,sOs, ,629.O4--a gain of S70s.7ss.67. or about s5- per cent in twelve months.
 It Is not probable that any other one business institution has shown such a relative increase. but 1t cannot be doubted that its great growth reflects improved conditions which find their natural advantage in using machinery that has been running without jar or A jolt for now nearly thlrty-five years.
