Who Shall Be Our County Super
intendent?

As previously announced in these
columns, this paper is absolutely nom
partisan: yet we claim the right to
express our opinion of existing condi-
tions, and of the character and quail
itications of any candidate for office.
The mere fact of the statement of a
man being nominated for an office by
a party weighs nothing, for the
reason that as rule, the man that
can most advance the interests of the
party (and the party means the GER
tain men who have office bees in their
bonnets) are the men who are nom
mated, with little or no regard for
either character or qualifications.
With other gentlemen who are seek
ing the Office of county superintend-
ent of schools, we are not at this
time dealing; but we wish to say
that we are decidedly in favor of
Prof. j. f. Shook of Greeley for that
position. Prominently, among many
reasons, are the following:
First-He has been engaged in con-
secutive school work for sixteen
years, excepting Il short period of
time during which he was editor of
the Eaton Herald.
Second-He has been citizen of
Weld county and actively identified
with its interests fourteen years.
Third-He is property owner and
is therefore a taxpayer.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-10-05

Fourth-llis experience in school
work of every kind from the rural to
the High school is such as to emf
nently qualify him for the position
that he is seeking.
F'ifth-As an authority on school
law. he is recognized as among the
ablest in the state, his decisions hav-
ing never been reversed 10y the State
Board of Education.
SiXth-As an author he is entitled
to recognition and appreciation. He
is the author of An Outline for the
Study of School Law also Colo
RADIO Supplement of Civil Govern
ment:" :" also, "A History of the
Early Settlement of Colorado
Seventh-His past record as county
superintendent is a series of successes
and shows that both teachers and
people have confidence in him.
Mary people look upon the office
of county superintendent of schools
as a sort of political sugar plum that
should be passed around once in two
years, so that every fellow who wants
a political plum (their number is
legion) may have taste. Such
plan might be the means of main
tanning harmony with the politicians
but it certainly would not be for the
best interests of our schools.
There are too many interests in
volved to think of such proceeding:
1850, 600 annual expenditure in our
county for schools: a school census
of 1000 children; 1000 square miles
of territory to cover; l72 teachers to
look after. 1t does seem to us that
we can not afford to place such in
terests in the hands of Il man for no
other reason than that he wants it
and his party has nominated him.
Prof. Shook is the nominee of the
democratic party and is himself a
democrat, but we should have sup
ported him had he been nominated
by any other or no party at all. We
are for men first, afterward party

Better than Pills.

The question has been asked-ln
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the
ordinary cathartic and liver pills?
Our answer is-They are easier and
more pleasant to take and their effect
is so gentle and so agreeable that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
a medicine. Then they not only
move the bowels but improve the
appetite and aid the digestion. For

LAST REST HAS COME
Senator Hoar Passed Quietly
Away Friday Morning.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 30
After lying unconscious for several
days, George Frisbie Hoar, senior
United States senator from Massa-
chrsetts. died in his home at 30
this morning.
The end came so quietly that only
the attending physicians were aware
of the moment of dissolution.
There were present at the bedside
when death came, the senator's son,
lockwood Hoar: his daughter, Mary
Hoar, and DI. Warren r. Gilman,
who had been an almost constant at.
tendant upon the senator.
The funeral services will be held
Monday in Unity church. A large
assemblage of prominent people is
expected. All flags in the city are at
half mast today. A proclamation
will be issued requesting general sus-
pension of business during the fune-
raj. Arrangements have been made
for the body to lie in state.
Following is in brief the story of
Senator Hoar's career:
Born in Concord, Mass, August
%, 1926.
Took a preparatory course at Con-
cord academy.
Entered Harvard college and was
graduated in 1s46.

Poultry Pointers.

The best f1ocks need a culling now
and then.
There may be some things about the
poultry business that you don't know.
The lazy fellow wants to keep out
of the poultry business; he won't like
it if he gets into it.
See the fowls have plenty of grit,
water, etc. These are things not to
be forgotten. Attention is everything.
Poultry that is yarded often fails to
thrive from lack of grit. Ground shell
does not furnish sufficient Provide
sharp gravel or some of the granu-
lated rock now made and sold express
ly for poultry.
The best cure for gapes in chicks is
a drop of turpentine on bread crumb.
Drawing the worms from the wind
pipe is risk. Scatter air Stacked
lime freely over the ground occupied
by the chicks.
A whitewash that will not easily
wash or rub off may be made of ten
parts of Stacked lime added to one
part of the best hydraulic cement the
whole mixed we'll with salt water. 1t
should be applied thin.

Free Vegetable Seeds.

The Ranch has received several hun
dred packets of vegetable seeds from
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. These seeds come to us un-
solicited, unsought and equally unwel-
come We don't believe in the distrf-
button of seeds gratis by the govern
ment.
But we have the seeds on hand, and
any one wanting a few packages can
have the same by either calling at our
sanctum or writing us a gentle letter
of request. We furnish applicants
with the following varieties of vege-
table seeds in sufficient quantities to
plant little family garden: Radish,
lettuce, carrot, onion, squash, bean,
muskmelOn, turnip. Prof. Spillman,
who is now in charge of the grass
division of the United States govern
ment at Washington City, tells us that
the seeds being sent out this year are
warranted to be full weight, true to
name and of best selected stock.
Remember, these seeds are free for
the asking. You don't have to be a
subscriber to get your share-but such
a request comes in better grace from
those who are paid up and in good
standing.
Apply early! The supply is limited,
and when what we have are gone there
will be no more for distribution this
season.

Profit in Pure Breeds.

The raising of pure-bred fowls in
connection with other live stock on
the farm is a profitable branch OF in
dustry, and for the amount of money
invested no stock will yield much larg-
er profits, except bees. A few years
ago a great many farmers left this
department to the care of members OF
the family, deeming it too small or
insignificant for them to attend to;
but some farmers have changed their
minds, and are ready to verify the
statement that it does pay to raise
pure-bred fowls. Some of those
living in or near the city, who are re-
stricted to small limits, are stepping
forth and reaping the reward derived
from this simple work. Why do
not farmers arouse themselves and
share the profits that may be gained
through such light employment? The
cost of pure-bred fowls to commence
with will not be great, and they will
not eat more than will common or
cross-bred birds. Among the pure
breeds there will be some extra good
ones, and these will bring twice or
three times as much as common stock.

age of fall sown wheat this year.
This is true especially of the southern
and western portions, where much new
land was broken last spring and sum-
mer and put in it's first crop last fall.
Fruit is also looking fine. The
frost one night nipped the sweet cher
ries growing on more exposed places,
but the damage was not material.
Along Snake river the same frost did
a little damage, but fruit men say it
is not worth considering. In many
places along the river the frost did not
seem to touch the buds at all. Beans
and tender garden truck were frosted
in some places. Fruit men over the
country, however, consider that the
prospect for an excellent crop is as
good, if not better, than for several
years past.
Farmers are commencing to figure
that with a continuation of the pres
ent growing conditions harvest will
commence in the southern and west
ern part of the county about July 1.
Many think that within six weeks
the Walla Walla and Eureka Flat
country will be busy. Taking into
consideration the increased acreage
in Whitman county and the prospects
for immense yields, some are wonder
ing. where the help will come from to
care for the grain. However, these
contingencies are at least two months
off, and there will probably be a large
army of men in before the harvest
season opens.
In particular the above applies to
Whitman county, but the same gener-
al conditions prevail in most of the
inland empire.

have provided their hens with all the
oyster-shells required, and yet they
have laid soft-shell eggs. 1t can be
considered, however, that the difficulty
may be weakness of the egg-making
machinery. An egg traverses quite
a distance before it is surrounded by
the she'll, and hens are subject to
many disorders. Overfat hens, in
bred hens and sickly hens are those
usually affected.

Lime for the Shells.

The gizzard is competent to render
fine the hardest material, but to do
this it must be assisted by gravel,
shells and sand or other sharp-cutting
material These materials may pass
out of the system unless dissolved,
which can be done by vegetable acids
that separate the primitive elements of
the various forms of lime. Bones are
phosphate of lime, but egg shells,
chalk, limestone and Oyster-shells are
carbonate of lime. They are insoluble
in water and cannot be appropriated
by the hen until they are entirely
changed in chemical composition by
some substance that unites with them.
Plaster is soluble, but may prove in
furious if used freely. The best way
to feed lime is in the grains, such as
wheat, oats, buckwheat and barley.
Glover hay is rich in lime, so are peas
and beans. The action of mineral
substances is mostly mechanical, but

according to people in that section.
Many have complained of backward
spring, but since the sunshine has
come all vegetation has been growing
so rapidly and luXuriantly that the
difference can be noted in a night.
Very little wheat was frozen out dur
ing the winter and few fields had
to be reseeded. Fall sown wheat is
in exceptionally fine condition. In
the southern and western parts of the
county fall grain is commencing to
joint and waves with the breezes. In
the northern and eastern sections the
stand is exceptionally heavy, the
ground being completely matted and
covered There is also a large acre.

Poultry interests
A Flock for the Family.
BY H. L. BLANCHARD.

Leaving out the matter of profit and
of selling eggs, there is much pleasure
in keeping a small flock for family use.
A few hens can be kept at less cost,
proportionately, than can large num-
Der, owing to the fact that the scraps
from the table are valuable. No labor
of consequence is necessary, and when
an account of the year is kept, the
small fiocks will be found to have
given quite profit in the conversion
of the waste material into eggs.
There is no way to procure eggs as
fresh and nice as those produced by
your own hens. If they are OF a
choice breed, the pleasure will be
greater, as well from pride in endeav-
oring to excel as from good manage
ment
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-05-15
Eggs and Poultry.

1t is not difficult to keep two or three
hundred hens on a farm, and two or
three hundred dollars thus picked up
will buy all the extras farmer finds
necessary to purchase during the year.
In this way he need not go in debt
for the numerous small things which
cannot be produced on a farm, and
which of necessity must be purchased.
Every time he goes to town he can
take chickens and eggs enough to pay
for his purchase. 1t is the small
things that run up the profit or the
loss in the aggregate, and poultry
raising is one of the most important,
though most neglected, industries on
the farm. Other countries have found
profit in poultry, and are now shipping
to America to supply the demand
which should be met right here at
home.

STATUS OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH

The question of the legal status Of
the Board of Health has been referred
to the Attorney General for an opinion.
While it is conceded that the members
of the present board We're legally ap-
pointed, there is a question as to
whether DIR. Cooper is also a member.
The law under which the Board was
appointed by Governor Dole provides
that 1.-THE members of said board shall
be appointed by the Governor, who
shall also appoint the President" The
Governor appointed DIR. Cooper as
President, and there is some doubt as
to whether he was also appointed as
a member of the Board of Health. His
commission simply designates him Gs

sion of the House of Representatives
of the Legislature. The chair ruled that
under the Organic Act there could
be no special session of the House. The
rules We're suspended to allow the
passage of the bill.
THE SALARY BILL.
Upon motion of Harris the salary
bill was referred to the committee of
the whole. Harris demurred to acting
as chairman, and so did Chillingworth
who said that no chairman of commit
tee should be required to take the
chair. Finally Long was prevailed up
on to preside and the House then re-
solved itself into a committee of the
whole.
FIRST CUT IS MADE.
Kumalae moved to reduce the salary
of chief clerk, Secretary's office from
$3.50 to s120 per month, saying that the
office carried with it outside perquisites
Of fifty dollars per month. He said
that many items had been untouched
by the Governor and he proposed to cut
all salaries twenty per cent, alike.
Vida talked on the same lines, saying
that all salaries should be cut alike.
and that If employees would resign as
they threatened to do, 1t would be all
right. Their places could be speedily
filed. ~,
WOULD CUT TREASURER.
Representative Kumalae moved to
consider the bill item by item and then
moved a reduction of the salary of the
treasurer from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
saying that was the amount paid to
the Secretary of the Territory. who
worked In Hawaii. and outside OF the
islands. He said that should be the
basis governing all heads of depart
ments. Beckley asked for the ayes
and noes and the motion To reduce
was defeated by a vote Of 10 to l2.
