The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-03-01

Total for yrs. 254, 697 1926 $3,867.96
Average per COW for last year Q3
COWS in the herd) GIGS pounds milk,
1897 pounds butter-$104.12 cash. The
first year six 2-year-old heifers and
seven COWS were in the herd, all told.
At the close of the year some of these
were sold and replaced with 2-year-
old heifers, keeping the number at IL.
No account of feed was kept the first
two years, but the third year we
bought 25,797 pounds mill feed, cost
ing $244.42, out of which the calves
were fed; also two brood sows were
fed from May to August 81. The rest
was fed to the COWS. Glover and al
falfa hay was fed without limit.
We are among a number of farmers
that will raise grain for COW feed next
year. We are blowing one block of
about 20 acres of meadow. We are
following the turf plow with stub
BILE plow in the same furrOw, turning
up furrow of new land on top OF the
sod. This will be sOWn to wheat and
barley.
1t has been found in alfalfa that
the percentage of crude protein
ranges from 11.8 to 1913 on dry mat
ter basis, and that from June Sd
to 30th the protein in the leaves de-
clined from 27 to II per cent, and the
crude fiber increased from 1877 to 20
per cent and as a general rule there
is about twice as much crude protein
in the leaves as in the stems and the
stems contain from 2 to times as
much fiber. The best time to cut al
falfa is when about one-fOurth OF it is
in bloom. Corn and alfalfa make the
ideal feed for dairy COWS, but we are
not in a corn growing country; how
ever, we can grow barley and this
comes nearest complementing alfalfa
of any grain we can grow.
A good herd of dairy COWS is the
best market in which we can sell the
forage grown on the farm. They con-
vert the raw products into greater
amount of food for human use than
either the OK, sheep or swine. Be
sides, the dairy products are all d1-
gestible and high priced. The dairy
cow furnishes constant employment
the year through at good wages, be-
sides leaving all the fertilizing con-
stituents of food consumed on the
farm She discounts our bills twelve
times a year and furnishes cash to
pay as you go. She buffers our bread,
creams our coffee, strawberries and
peaches, and is "the bestest friend
I've got" pipes up the little tot with
it's mug of milk.

PERyERSITY OF JURIES

In this connection CongTessru4a Champ
Clark tells of a trial at the coac-u- - r
which this Judge. with more than his 1I
tediOusness. explained to the jury his f
the merits Of the case. So apparent was i,
observed the Judge, what verdict should e
rendered, that it would be surprisi-- Il he
jury should leave the box.
Nevertheless the jury did leave tae ok,
and were out for some hours. As .te me
dragged on, the Judge grew impatie-t. So he
sent inquiry as to the cause Of the LII
Guilty: whereupon it was ascertained chat oue
of the jurors was holding out Tie autire
jury then was summoned before the IudEe,
who administered a severe rebuke Co the

MARK TWAIN AND WHISTLER

A FRIEND of Mark Twain's tells of an
n amusing incident in connection with
the first meeting between the humorist and
the late James AcNeill Whistler the artist.
The friend having facetiously warned
Clemens that the painter was confirmed
joker, Mark solemnfy averred that he would
get the better of Whistler should the latter
attempt ANY funny business" Further
more, Twain determined to anticipate Whist
Ter. if possible.
So, when the two had been introduced,
which event took place in Whistler's studio
Clemens assuming an air Of hopeless stupidity
approached just-completed painting and
said:
Not at all bad, Mr.. Whistler, not at all
bad. Only" he added, rehectively, with a
motion as if to rub out cloud effect, if
were you I'd do away with that cloud"
Great Heavens, sir!" exclaimed Whistler,
almost beside himself. do be careful not to
touch that; the paint is not yet dryi"
"Oh, l don't mind that" responded Twain,
with air of perfect nonchalance; Il am
wearing gloves, you see"

AN AUTHORS NERVE

OLIVER HEREFORD the author is dis
" tinguished as a player of practical
Jokes. At the Players Club of New-York,
of which he is a member, it appears that he
had been paying only nonresident dues.
This was discovered only recently, although
Herford lives in New-York, and of this i'm
portant fact the board of directors politely
notified the author suggesting a remittance
in future similar to other New-York members
Herford replied that he would not consider
their proposition at all-h his dues were
increased he would resign from the club.
The directors were aghaet. 70 lose Herford
was to lose shining light; to permit him to
hand in nonresident tariff was to establish
a ruinous precedent. Still-the upshot was
that the author was permitted to stay on his
own terms, and the incident was thought to
have been closed.
Not SO. The next mail brought another
letter from the esteemed member: if an
immediate apology was not forthcoming
from the directors for their late action Her
ford would resign from the club forthwith.
council was held, whereat it was unani-
mously decided that nerve of such magnifi-
cent proportions should be treated with def
erence, in consequence of which Herford re-
eeived plentiful and abJect apology from the
directors of the Players Club for asking him
for his dues.
This apology is among Oliver Herford's
choicest relies, and in his opinion marks his
masterpiece of humor

To-day I'm filled with a dark despair

When valentine to a lady fair

When The rose is red and the violet's

Would the loving swain indite-
A statement simple and yet quite true,
And easy enough to write.
But times have changed in this world
of ours,
And now, lest we give offense,
We have to send along the flowers

She has to see for herself;
But the proof of the statement, / tell you,
Costs much of my hard-earned pelf!
