The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-02-01

Any person whose work it is to cul-
tivate the ground is called farmer
There are many departments of farm
work, but the farmer in whom we are
herein more particularly interested is
the one whose efforts are confined to
that department of soil cultivation
known as dairy farming. Every farm
er is not dairyman and by far too
few dairymen are in truth farmers.
At the present day and age of the
world the secret of success appears
to lie in the person being we'll
grounded in the fundamental princi-
pies underlying the speciality in hand
such is more and more becoming
the case in the work of dairy farming.
farm stocked with dairy COWS does
not of itself constitute dairy farm
in defining dairy farm Webster
makes no mention Of COWS, but defines
the same as "a farm chiefly devoted
to the making of butter and cheese,
or to supplying milk to a town." 1t
would appear that the keeping of the
COWS is only a minor feature of dairy
farming. The capitalist may become
tne posSessor of the COWS and yet
nave but very little knowledge of the
principles that underlie the success
lul prosecution of the business of
carrying. For such knowledge he
must rely upon the dairyman farmer.
Inc same is true of the scientific but
Ter and cheese maker.
In Webster's time there evidently
was no such parsonage as a dairyman,
out instead he defines "dairymaid'' to
oe "a female servant whose business
is to attend to the dairy" and the
ualry he defines as being "the place,
loom, or house where milk is kept,
ana converted into butter or cheese"
@ 90 the dairymaid of long ago and
me Dutter and cheese maker of today,

ediry farming. The modern dairyman
sdrlner then represents all of that
iieature of dairying that precedes and
- .nciudes the delivery of the milk to
'ne town, dairy, creamery or factory.
NOW, having our dairyman farmer
.ocated, we can the more certainly
ascertain his responsibilities. He,

very large percentage of the dairymen
of the state?
Taking it for granted that dairy
farming, intelligently conducted, prom
ises to those engaged therein reas-
enable share of the real comforts and
pleasures of this life, as matter of
fact, do such conditions surround the
life of the ordinary dairyman? Do
we not find many dairymen, who,
though hard worked the full 365 days
of each year, yet are compelled to
accept the bare necessities of life, and
Ofttimes less than that, as a reward
for their efforts? In the light then
of the clearly evident prosperity, COM
forts and happiness, that adorn the
lines of many others in the same call
ing, and living in the same commun-
tiles, working surrounded by similar
conditions, patrons, perhaps of the
same creamery, how shall we account
for so great difference in the results
from personal efforts? The winning
surely be found to be the man en-
dowed with the greatest stock of good
common sense. If to this be added
intellectual attainments of practical
application, and an ambitious desire
to win, we have the example of one
who seldom stops short of we'll
rounded success.
Now, are these principles applicable
to dairy farming? They certainly are.
First, however, we would say that
it is of prime Importance that the
farmers mind be training in proper
channels. All imaginary grievances
must be put aside. The facts, as they
actually exist, must be dealt win.
The actual responsibilities must be
recognized and accepted as such.
Nothing can be gained by trying to
shift burdens and responsibilities
where they do not belong. The dairy
man must be satisfied that the con-
sumner of his products be only required
to pay reasonable price for the
same. Grave dangers exist to the
business under any other policy Our
profit must come from cheapening
the cost of production, rather than
from exacting the last penny from the
consumer. Science, upon which our
business is becoming so dependent, is
also becoming our greatest competi-
tor, while our greatest enemy is
stupid Indifference
The dairyman's opportunities are
great. How many of us are living up
to them? The successful dairyman
farmer must be a reasoning business
man. How many of us are? The
dairyman farmer should be endowed
with a knowledge of the component

parts of the soil of each and every
to manufacture such parts into milk
He ought also to have a clear under
standing and knowledge as to the best
methods and channels by and through
which the same can be so secured and
transmitted. Recognizing these facts
our national and state governments
have provided a way, by and through
which this knowledge can be secured,
at a trifling expense, by every farmer,
as we'll as every person in the land.
This very fact is fast Transforming
and elevating the business of farming,
above and beyond the reach of the
careless and Indifferent. 1t might,
think, be said with much truth that,
under existing conditions, our people,
as rule, and particularly those
whose birthplace was on farm, are
qualified both mentally and physically
to undertake to master the business
OF dairy farming. And the secret OF
such mastery lies through training
and studiOus application. He who re-
lies solely upon his birth and envir-
onments will prove failure. To
further illustrate these remarks,
would state that conditions call for
a knowledge of the soil, OF tillage and
soil cultivation, of plant growth, as
we'll as selection and the securing OF
the same, of breeding, care and man
agement of the dairy cow, and of the
care of milk and cream. My Observa-
tions, however, will be confined to the
problems pertaining to the soil and
plant growth.
The dairyman farmers interest lies
along the line of his land having
power to produce abundantly of milk
producing plants. His work lies
along the line of making such power
available to the plant. Maximum re-
suits can only be obtained under
knowledge and correct understanding
of tillage and soil cultivation as ap-
piled to his land. Ordinarily, when
speaking of the productive power of
land, we have reference to the quaint
tiles of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash contained therein, and these
combined we call plant food. We
have all, no doubt, observed that the
crops on the same field often vary
materially one year with another We
are often puzzled and quite unable to
account for this. Nearly always one
or more of many things might be the
true cause, among which are lack of
moisture, or excessive moisture; pow
erty of soil, which may, or may not
be true, since the land may be, as
we say, 'rich" and contain an abund-
ance of plant food, though not avail

Young Man Tells New York Police That

young man who says that his nam,

He surrendered to the police yesterday

three nights he had tried to screw his cour-
age up to the suicide pitch.
But WAS too big a coward to die. he
concluded, according to Galvan.
The police telegraphed to Chicago and
learned that P. M. Powers, a young man Of
good family, answering to the description
Of Pierce, is wanted there on a charge Of
stealing ring valued at $3.50.
The police here claim that Pierce and
admitted later that he had given a false
name in order to shield his family.
CHICAGO, Aug. SOP. NJ. Powers, who Is
under arrest In New York, is not positively
known to be wanted here. His description,
however. tallies with that Of man wanted
for larceny. A detective left for New York
tonight to attempt to connect him with
the crime.
Powers was arrested here about year
ago for forging check on the Sherman
House. He came here from Boston, where
his parents reside, and registered at the
hotel as Carlos T. Pierce. He gave out q
story to the effect that at Buffalo he had
lost his baggage and a letter Of credit. He
stayed here but few days. when he forged
q check for his room rent. He was arrested,
but not prosecuted, because his father
