ROYAL ARCANUM STAYS.
Effort TO Drive Ii Out of Nebraska
Fails.

Lincoln, Neb.. March 29.-The effort
to drive the Royal Arcanum, fraternal
insurance order, from Nebraska, has
failed. 1t was made by the representa-
tive Of home insurance order on the
ground that none Of the Massachusetts,
fraternal companies complied with the
MASSACHUSETTS insurance laws. He al
legged that their rates were lower than
those fixed by the fraternal congress
and therefore a violation of the recipro-
cal laws. The Nebraska insurance au-
ditor decided that the fraternal sections
are exempt from the reciprocal features

PATTERSON, y. j., Nov. 16.-Chased
for more than mile through the
streets of this city and finally leaping
into the Passaic river in an unsuccess
full attempt TO avoid capture, Frank
Speer, a sign painter, is lodged in Jail
charged with having assaulted Miss
Ella Anderson, twenty years old, and
living at Eighteenth avenue and TWEEN
ty-second street, Paterson.
Miss Anderson was walking in Eigh-
teenth avenue on her way to market
when Speer, who had been drinking,
approached and addressed her. The
young woman did her best to avoid
his advances. and finally the enraged
man seized her around the waist and
carried her into an adjoining vacant
lot.
Miss Anderson is slight and weighs
only about 100 pounds, while Speer is
a large man, so that she was almost
powerless in his grasp. She screamed
for help, however, and struggled and
finally managed to pull large hatpin
from her hat, with which she defended
herself. Speer was stabbed several
times in the face and breast before he
released the girl.

Thanksgiving Things
AT
A. K. RITCH|E & COMPANY'S

AS everybody knows Thanksgiving day
was established by the Pilgrim Fathers in
gratitude to God for leading them to the land
and providing food and shelter for them in
the midst of the wilderness. The first Thanks
giving day proclamation was that of Pres-
dent Washington recommending a day of
thanksgiving in December I777. But the
day was never fixed until Philadelphia
woman, Mrs Sarah J. Hale who while editor
Of Godey's Lady Book, wrote to all the gov.
errors recommending the last Thursday in
November as the day, and that date has ever
since been fixed by unwritten law. A great
number of things are needed for the proper
enjoyment of Thanksgiving.

being received by our growers from
all the leading seedsmen of the Unit
ed States. The perfection in fruit is
reached in the apple, pear, plum,
prune, cherry, strawberry, raspberry
and blackberry, large orchards and
berry fields are being planted, and the
county promises to be a large shipper
of the above named fruits in a very
few years.
No larger yield of timothy and
clover hay can be found in any section
of our country, the rich river valley
lands producing from two and one
half to four tons per acre, while we
do not claim this for all the farming
land in the county, but there are
thousands of acres of just such land
in the Nooksack valley. There is a
large acreage of bench land that must
be thoroughly cultivated and fertil-
lied to produce good crops, but with
the climate of western Washington
prevailing and the excellent home
markets, hard to please, indeed, must
be the farmer, who loves his vocation,
that would seek a new location after
q few years residence in Whatcom
county.
The COW butter farmer is rapidly
pushing his way to the front, there
being now about thirty-five hundred
COWS, contributing cream to the diff
ferent creameries in the county. While
the creamery wagon has been with us
but a few years, it is now found ira
versing all the county roads and there
is little doubt but that the creamery
business will be the leading industry
in very short time, and why should
it not be? With cool nights, mild eli
mate, pure mountain water and green
pasture for nine months of the year, it
is the ideal butter country of the
world.
The Whatcom county farmer is to-
day almost in as close touch with the
busy world as the city resident, there
being no less than ten free rural daily

the land suitable for agricultural pur-
poses comprising about 345,OO0 acres.
Of this amount there is now under
cultivation about 100000 acres, leav-
ing very large area still to be sub
dued, affording many homes for new
people. The cultivated area is being
annually increased. During the pres
ent season between twelve and fifteen
hundred acres have been slashed,
burnt and is now being stumped and
prepared for next seasons planting.
AS the merchantable timber is being
removed from the land, more attention
is being directed toward the wealth
contained in the rich alluvial soil of
our county.

ers 1t Excellent for
ing Scours In Calves.

The Kansas Experiment station in
reporting upon feeding dried blood as
a preventative of scours, says:
Dried blood is not only good for a
weak calf, but is an excellent remedy
for any calf subject to scours. With
the 70 head Of young calves under ex-
pertinent at the Kansas station during
the past year, there has not been a
single case of scours that dried blood
has failed to check.
I'm feeding dried blood, a teaspoon
full at a feed is a great plenty. This
should be continued until the scours
disappear. In case of a weak calf the
allowance may be gradually increased
to a tablespoonful at a feed"
To prevent the dried blood from set
Ting to the bottom of the pail, where
the calf will be unable to get it, it
may be stirred in the milk while the
calf is drinking, or the milk and blood
may be fed Immediately after being
thoroughly mixed.
"Since dried blood is such a cheap
and effective remedy, 1t will pay any
one who raises young calves by hand
to have a little available whenever a
calf shows signs Of disorders in it's
digestive trace"

Tho milk from fresh animals should

The milking stable should be as free
from dust as possible at the time of

When the John A.. Salzer Seed CO.. of La
Crosse, Wis, introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did they dream
it would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Ayr. Editors wrote about it, Ayr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Ayr. In
stitute Orators talked about it, while in
the farm home by the quiet 1ireside, in the
corner grocery, in the village post-ofice, at
the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher-
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
5 to IA tons per acre and lots of pasture
besides, is always a theme worthy of the
farmers voice.
Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which
there is nc better grass or better permanent
hay producer on earth. Grows wherever
soil is found. Then the farmer talks about
salzer's Teosinte, which will produce 100
stocks from one kernel of seed, IL #. high,
in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greed
lily eaten by cattle, hogs, ETC., and is good
for 80 tons Of green food per acre.
