tunnel running from end to end
through the center of stack. BY this
method the sides of the stack will
settle more than the middle, thus Civ
ing a pitch to the hay which will shed
any rain. You will have no more
musty hay and it may be stacked
greener.-W.
Proper Time to n3plant.-Most
people transplant cabbage, tomato and
other plants to the garden just after
rain while the ground is wet.
Hardly a worse time could be selected,
for the ground being wet, it is i'm
possible to properly pack it about the
roots of the young plant so that IL
will not bake. Set the plants out on
cloudy day, in the evening, or be-
fore a rain, and after setting them,
water thoroughly. In taking the
plants up, care should be taken not
TO disturb nor expose the roots more
than is absolutely necessary. They
will do better, too, if some of the
leaves are picked off, as then there
is not likely to be more evaporation
than the disturbed roots are able to
supply-C. e. Evans.

BumbIebees and Glover.

Some very important processes in
nature hang on very slight causes.
For instance it has been proven that
red clover will seed but very little if
the blossom is not pollenized by bum
blebees. We can see by this how very
important is the bumblebee to the in
terests of the farmer. One reason
why the first crop of clover yields so
little seed is because of the light sup
ply of bumblebees at that time of year.
Now this is not the assumption of the
DRY and guesswork. 1t is founded
on hard, practical facts, as the follow
ing from Prof. Budd, of Iowa, will
show:
cit is pleasant to have popular be-
liefs endorsed by scientists. Over the
world the popular belief has been that
the bumblebee was needed to secure
crop of clover seed. Prof. Chas. w.
Burkett last year covered patches of
clover heads six feet square with mos
quito netting. He gave the results as
follows: First crop, covered, 0, I'M
covered, 10; second crop, covered, 2, I'M
covered, 612; near bumblebee nests,
1900 Careful experiments show that
the honeybee is quite as essential for
the perfect pollination of our fruits as
the bumblebee is in the clover fields. In
Germany the bumblebee is protected
by legal enactments. With us every
nest is destroyed at once after dis
covery."

The Cutworm and the ArmyWorm.

To the Editor:-I ventured in your
issue of June Is to comment on an
article in the previous issue entitled
Look Out for the Cutworm." You very
courteously published my criticism,
but in an appended note you Suggest
that I should read the article again
You admit no error but on the con-
trary. claim that the statements made
in the article we're based on obSerVa-
tions made by yourself and at the
washington and Oregon agricultural
colleges. and further that the sugges-
tions for combating the ravages OF
the cutworm were suggestions from
the Washington and Oregon expert
mental stations My statement in ref
erence to your article was this: Al
most every statement therein con-
tanned is glaringly incorrect, and FUR
Their I say "The writer has mixed up
every kind of caterpillar which IS
likely to occur on a farm and con-
structed life history that does not
fit any of them" These charges you
do not admit and as it has therefore
become a question of the accuracy OF
vour chronological knowledge or mine,
! feel bound to ask you to allow me to
discuss the subject a little further.
7 claim that your first article is full
of gross mistakes. 1t is headed Look
Out for the Cutworm." There are
MANY kinds of cutworms, all of them
larvae or caterpillars of species OF
noctuid moths. The cutworm, par ex-
cellence. in this part of the world is
tbe larvae of the moth "peridroma
saucia." You begin by prophesying an
q h. 1fxun
season (not cutworms of various
kinds, of which of course we nave
numbers every year,, but the cut
worm" meaning peridroma saucla. YOU
say: "The supposition was based on
the fact that this spring there nave
been seen some white butter1les
which lay the eggs from which cut
worms come" Again: "These worms
come only once in two years to any
great extent" Contrary to reason and
contrary to fact! All insects have
their years of plenty but in regard TO
moths it has yet to be proved that
their appearance is governed by any
such regular rule as you lay down.
You go on to assert that the presence
of white butterflies is an indication
that we shall have cutworms How
could such a thing be, seeing that the
white butterfly has no connection
whatever with the entirely different
creature which is the parent of the cut
worm?
Unless you know the habits of the
creature you are to fight you cannot
intelligently fight it, and you most evil
IDENTIFY do not know the habits of the
cutworm, and I maintain that any
farmer reading your article will be
altogether misled, and will, if he fol-
lows your advice, be going to a great
deal of needless trouble.

The North Yakima papers last week
said strawberries grown in the Yaki-
ma valley were very plentiful and
large numbers were shipped to Seattle,
where they brought from.$1.25 to $15O
per crate The price on the Yakima
market has been about 81. The Roy
al Ann and Black Republican cherries
are on the local market at from to
cents a pound These varieties are
not as plentiful this year as usual, hav-
ing been damaged by frost. Mr..
Candy, of North Yakima Canning Co.,
says he will not start up for cherries
this year on account of the scarcity of
these varieties and the high price.
He will not open the factory until the
apricot harvest begins. There are
plenty of cherries of what is known
as the "pie" variety

Draining Stack Sites.-In stacking
hay it is we'll to make back furrow
along the centre, where the stack is
to stand, blowing around until the
open furrow is just clear of the bot
tom of the stack. Then run a drain
from the lower end of these bitches.
You will be surprised at the small
amount of hay spoiled. Repeat this
operation two or three times and
there will be little or no waste. P.
Brown.
KiIlinu Buckbrush.-TO clear land of
buckbrush, rose bushes and weeds
pillow it in the spring and SOW bronze
grass, and the pests will gradually
disappear and by the third year the
grass will have taken possession of the
ground to the exclusion of all brush
and weeds. Now the ground once or
twice each season and that will keep
the brush down till the grass gets the
upper hand. I have found this to be
the only way to completely rid land
of this brush.-A. e. P.
How to Set and Anchor Corner
deep. Select good large posts, and
lamp the dirt around them firmly.
Place the next post 10 feet from cor
ner on a line with the fence Fit a
AKA snug between posts about inches
below where the top wire will come
parallel to it, and nail it securely to
each post. Take four strands of wire
around the bottom of corner post and
around the top of the brace post. Pull
them up snug and staple them solid.
Put a stick through wire and twist
quite tight. It will never pull up or
give. For a right angle corner, brace
same way at right angles to corner
post.-D. J. M.
Caked Udder and Fever-Feed light;
but little grain should be fed to the
COW just before, and for~2 or 3 days
after calving. The calf should remain
with it's mother or 6 hours. Then
taken away; but do not draw all the
milk from the udder until IL or 16
hours. This is contrary to general
practice, but is natures way. | have
never been troubled with caked udder
since this method has been practiced
which has been Is years Should any
signs of garget bloody milk or milk
fever appear in the fresh COW, give a
physic. Should garget or bloody milk
appear later, give 3 drachm doses of
potassium iodide dissolved in u pint
of water and drench once day for 10
days. My advice in bad cases of milk
fever is to get a veterinarian.-W. r.
Stacking A!faIfa.-Alfalfa is probably
the most difficult to cure of any kind
of hay Most farmers find it impossi-
BILE to cure without having it dusty or
having it bleached. Some advise stack
ing and then restocking; others stack
ing a layer of alfalfa and layer of
dry straw alternately. The following
device secures better hay than any
thing else | have ever seen tried:
Make saw horses feet high and as
long as your hay stack. Make the
legs of 2x4's, the top piece of 2x6 set
on edge and nail two fence boards to
the outside of the legs. Nail board
across the lower part of the legs to
keep them two feet apart Stack your
hay over this so that when your stack
is completed it will have an A-shaped

Fence Posts.-Peel young pine trees
three feet from the ground and let
them stand for one year for fence
posts. You will be surprised how they

put in the ground they will last twenty
years. The trees peel easily now.

TIE wHrn6s OF ALExIErF

1t appears from a private letter
which has reached a Russian from a
well-informed compatriot in Muk-
den the reason OF the execration with
which the Viceroy AleXier Is regarded
by Russians in the east is to be found
in the absolutely ruthless manner in
which he places his personal comfort
above the interests of his country.
While the Admiral was at Mukden
the station master was strictly pro-
hibited from giving the usual sig
nals-which, by the way, are uncom-
monty loud and numerous on Russian
lines-to Indicate the impending de-
parture of the trains. Tie dwelling
of the viceroy was in the immediate
neighborhood of the station, and the
admiral greatly objected to all noises.
On another occasion, traffic along the
section leading to Harbin was en-
tlrely suspended. both for military
and freight trains, in order that II
special train bearing the vieeroys
chiropodist might not be delayed.

months at a cost of SO cents for each
license.
The ordinance of DIR. Genoway and

ing that the city collect Its own garb-
age and buy its own garbage wagons
was turned down.
The protest against. dumping the
night soil into the Fourth ward sew-

means that the board will secretly
provide another dumping place until

Two more mounted sanitary police

which has at last realized the danger
from the spread of contagious dis
eases. The dumping of garbage In

Two plans for the building Of reser-
voirs to increase the water supply
were submitted to the city council
by City Engineer Gill last night. One
plan provides for a 10000, ,000-g gallon
reservoir in Cliff Park addition with
q 1000, 0,0o0-gallon distributing reser-
voir on Ninth avenue and an addi-
tional pumping capacity at the up
river station OF 10000 gallons, The
total cost Is estimated at $344.2~2.69.
The second plan Is for 16.0o0 ,000-
gallon reservoir at Ninth avenue and
Grand street, which would be sup
piled from the overflow OF the city
mains--if there should ever be such
overflow. The cost of this reservoir
would be $l21.674.s0.
Both plans will be considered by a
meeting of the committee of the
whole council to be held next Monday
night at the council chamber. At
this meeting representatives Of the
Taxpayers league and the chamber

''IMMoRALHY PAYS"
L. F. BOYD.

Our boy mayor, L. Frank Boyd has again
broken into print through his Unsuitable craving for
interviews and letter writing. The colty executive
hasn't yet the courage to come forth with an open
endorsement in Spokane of the dives and gambling
dens, the fostering and encouragement of immoral
women, thievsh gamblers, murderous thugs and
perverted men. But in letter just written he full
somely endorses the same thing in Tacoma where
gamblers in control, thieves line the streets and
dssolute men beat their women and force them to
rob-
All this, Frank says CONTRIBUTES TO
THE PROSPERITY OF TACOMA IN THAT 1T
INDUCES THE COAL MINERS AND EMPLOYEES
OF LUMBER CAMPS TO GO TO TACOMA TO
SPEND THEIR EARNINGS.'
Great God! And the man who wrote that has a
wife and was born of respectable parents!
The mayor of Spokane praises the immoral meth
ods through which the 'hardworkng, ignorant coal
miners and lumberjacks are enticed to Tacoma there
to be met and cajoled by crib women robbed by
gamblers and sugged by murderous thieves and
thugs! To this immoral, leperous perverson OF
city the degenerate executive of Spokane attributes
prosperity" To the fallen women their male per-
verts to thieves and murderers he credits the ad-
vancement which he says is budede on the enticing
of laboring men coming fresh from the wds,, or the
depths, to be plundered by whole city.
''These men come long distances to Tacoma to
have good time and spend large sums of money,
of which all lines of business get part" writes
this mayor of in advocating unbridled ewdness
unlicensed thuggery and untrammeed gambling. To
his perverted vision the enticing of men from the
dangerous mines and lonely lumber camps to be
plundered by vicious men and women cradled by a
whole municipality, is blessing-a thing to be
praised and fostered as the industry of entire
city.
If Frank Boyd had his way the entire city of Spo-
kane would be Main hallway and Occur D'Alene
theater. Every house would be of illfame, every
room box for 'Dutch Jake's'' rustlers pitfall
for Harry Green's gambling victims.
And this is the man who says he is again going
to be mayor!
Frank Boyd dare not insult the whole people of
Spokane by making his next campaign such
platform of shame.
Frank Boyd says he intends to run his
record.

WILL REJOICE OVER
MEAD'S ELECTION

tion Of being present. Governor-elect
Mead and some others have arranged
to attend the big doings in Seattle
tonight, but there will be plenty of
others present.
All of the elected republicans and
all of the speakers who took the
stump during the campaign and help
ed to elect the ticket will be seated
on the big stage at the Auditorium.
A general invitation to this effect is
issued by Chairman Ham. They will
also be expected to gather about the
head OF the procession and march to
the opera house.
For pregnant reasons the process
sion has been turned of Riverside
at Lincoln street instead of going
around Monroe street, but there have
been no orders issued yet to lasso
the exuberant ones who may repeat
the famous march Of a past election
when David fought the giant.

SUES FOR BREACH
OF PROMISE:

Mr.. Peterson Is a native of Sweden.
Is well to do and an attractive look
ing man. He holds contracts for
several of the largest buildings in
the city.
Mrs. Turner has been cognizan. for
some months past that her lover was
growing tired of her and despite her
beauty and character she was unable
to win him back to first place again.
The cause was soon learned to her
sorrow. There was another woman
In the case. She entreated him to
give up the girl who came between
them, but to this he turned deaf
ear. They decame estranged and then
parted. A desire for revenge upon
the part of Mrs. Turner resulted in
bringing the suit.
