WHAT EDITOR BYARS
SAW ON TRIP HERE

Editor Byars, of the Goldendale
Sentinel, writes as follows of his re-
cent trip to Hood River:
Attorney n. b. Brooks and the edi-
tor went to Hood River Saturday
morning to attend the Good Roads
convention held there on that day.
The meeting was well attended,
there being several excellent addresses
by officers of the National organlza-
tion who are at the Portland Exposi-
tion this week. The evenings pro-
gram was especially interesting, ster-
eoptican views being presented of
roads taken from all parts of the
world, both ancient and modern.
The program at Hood River is to be
repeated at The Dalles Tuesday of
next week and is well worth seeing.

Frank L. Wasco, who has five acres
at Charleston in Strawberries, sold over
700 crates at prices ranging from Sl5O
to 49, 80 per crate, the larger number
being sold around 81. which after ray
ing for the crates and picking leaves a
profit of 81 40. Mr.. Wa-co figures his
average net returns at 81 60 per crate
and 700 crates at that figure would give
total of Sl120, which is equal to a

THE FRUIT PACKAGE.

The fruit growers in the near fu-
ture will have to face the question of
fruit package, and there had better
be an effort made by all organizations
to have a uniform package. If there
had been only moderate crop Of APP
pies in the west this season we would
have faced barrel shortage. AS it
was, some packers paid as high as 35
cents in our own state for 81 bar
red, and in New York as high as 60
cents was paid. The Canadians suf
fered from the same complaint, and
apple-growers there paid as high as
so cents per barrel. For foreign
markets where apples have to stand
the rough handling of an ocean voy-
age, the package will have to be the
box, and good strong one too. But
for our home markets 1t will not be
surprising il some certain make of
basket would prove the most profit
able to the grower of choice apples.
1t was the basket that solved the prob
lem of disposing of the enormous
grape crops we have been producing.
1t was the basket, in which grapes
could be bought in small quantities
and without loss, that taught the pub
lie to eat grapes. Fruit packed in bar
rels can be sold only to the middle-
man, but in baskets it appeals right
to the consumer. But to ship in bas-
kets you will have to have your cold
storage handy, and at picking time
run your apples into cold storage in
any shape that you can handle it to
the best advantage. Then at the
right time put them on the market
and there is not doubt that they will
bring better price than If shipped
in barrels.

Within year her shipments OF
butter to England have increased
about so per cent. At the beginning

packages, but it must be remembered
that our winter is summer time in
Argentina and that her make of butter
at that season is larger than 1t is later

likely to get into winter dairying for
long time yet, but there is no rea.
son why summer made Argentine but.

THE WONDERS OF MODERN FARM
MACHINERY.

All the great crops are now plant
ed and all except cotton are gathered
by machinery. Let us follow a crop
throughout a seasons work and see
the changes that have come in its
treatment.
The plowman no longer trudges
slowly and YEARLY back and forth
across his field He rides a sulky
plow with a spring seat. There are
special plows for every need; turf
plows, stubble plows, subsoil plows,
plows for heavy work, plows for light
work and gang plows turning three
burrows at once So simple are many
of them that boy may drive one.
Flowing by steam is not commonly
practiced in the middle west, but on
the great wheat ranches of the Pacific
coast it is common. On the tule lands
of California a siXty-horsepower trac-
ton engine drawing twenty-one feet
of disk plows will break the ground
to a depth of ten inches at the rate
of forty-five to sixty acres day. With
mold board plows designed especially
for this work strip twenty-eight
feet wide can be broken. This means
that a man and board pillow would
have to cross field twenty-eight
times to do the same work that the
traction engine does by one trip of
its plows. A farmer of the central
west who uses a small traction en-
CINE and a gang Of four fourteen-inch
plows says that It costs him from fiji
ty to sixty-two cents per acre to break
his ground. He considers steam econ
omical.
The land made ready for the recep-
ton of the seed, machinery still does
the work that muscle used to do. The
sower goes forth to SOW, but not as
he once did, dropping his seed into
the soil, trudging backward and for
ward from dawn till twilight. His
grass or his grain is broadcasted or
drilled in with mechanical evenness,
and the machine automatically regis
tiers the acreage sown. In like man.
planted in hills, his potatoes are
planted, and even his cabbage, his
caulifiower and his tobacco plants
from the seed-beds are set out by
machinery, and the work. is done bet
ter than it could possibly be by hand
this, besides the saving of time and
toll. Even in the vegetable garden,
seeders for all kinds of seeds are
now pushed in front of the operator,
and they automatically drop and cover
the seeds at the desired distances and
depth and at the same time mark off
the next row.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Fruit often suffers from rough han
ding.
Ashes and manure make a good fer
tilizer for orchards.
Good stock creates a good market,
ready sale and good price.
There is no better time for setting
trees than in the spring.
Many orchardists make a great mis-
take planting trees too deep.
Apple trees should be planted on
low lands subject to overfows.
Russian mulberry trees are said to
be the best of all as bird feeders.
It Is safe to say that every orchard,
well cultivated, can be made to pay.
For the first years of an orchard
pruning is one of the most important
items.
OF all our fruit trees, probably the
peach responds most readily to cult
walton.
In South America chrysanthemums
often measure fifteen inches in cir
conference.

GOOD ROADS.

While the people of this country
have been expanding their energies
and means in contributing the best
system of railroads upon the earth,
there has been little attention given
to building highways according to
modern ideas. There has been no ade-
quate system for maintaining them,
and their condition in this age of gen.
eral development and improvement
is disgrace to a civilized nation.
1t seems to be settled beyond argl-
ment that the public roads in this
country are to be improved Argu-
ment is all on the affirmative side,
and there is no opposition. The only
question to settle is of ways and
means, and the attention of the peo-
pie is being directed to national aid
to road improvement as outlined in
the Brownlow bill. In countries that
are famed for their good roads their
general government is large factor
in their general management. Nearly
hundred years ago our national gov
eminent was engaged in projecting
and building extensive systems of
public highways to develop the re-
sources of the country, and probably
would have continued such policy but
for the rapid growth of steam railway
systems that seemed better adapted to
the needs of the expanding business
and the increasing traffic of the coun-
try.
Within recent years, through the
Department of Agriculture, the office
of Public Road Inquiries was estab-
lished and is maintained by yearly ap-
preparations from the public treas
ury resulting in great good in pro-
noting road improvement, and there
has been an increasing demand upon
this office, not only for achieving aid,
but for material assistance. In re-
spending to the peoples call for gov
eminent aid there has been made a
safe and healthy beginning and it
seems an opportune time to enlarge
and extend the work.

Udder Manipulation.

There is discussion going the
'ounds as to the value of udder
manipulation. This is practiced by
the Dutch and Danes and is
claimed by some to have the effect
of increasing the capacity of the COW.
After milking the Dutch mixer manip.
ulates the udder by pressing the two
sides together with his hands and then
the two ends, repeating this for few
seconds. After that the COW is again
stripped and about half pint of very
rich milk is obtained. The natural
thought regarding the matter is that
possibly this extra half pint of milk
would be found in the next milking. If
it were not gained at the first milking.
The ultimate advantage is hard tc
prove.

DAIRY NOTES.

Regularity in feeding and milking is
important.
In milking. squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk
To get all of the butter, the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
Cows that are good producers of
rich milk must be good consumers
Don't forget that your cows need
salt, keep it where they can get at it
every day of the year.
In small quantities, cottonseed meal
is good feed, but in excess it in
jures the butter.
Are you selling milk in town? If so,
1t will pay you to keep everything
about your dairy and barn neat and
clean; then If your customers drive
out to see your place they will be
pleased, instead of going to find an
other dairyman.
We have known farmers who were
enterprising enough to charge their
customers as much as a half a cent
more per quart for their milk to get
1t. How do you think they did It? By
having everything about their dairy
and delivery wagon and their person
neat. People pay for such things
Find the right customers and try 1t.

Rinu Found After IS Years.

The other day Hakon Hanson was
digging up the garden in the yard in
the rear of Myron G. Wizards home
at Mankato when he found a little
gold baby ring. On the inside of the
ring was engraved "Kittie Wagner
in script.
The Kittie Wagner that lost the
ring is now one of the prominent WON
en- of this town. Thirty-five years age
she, little girl, attended the primary
grade at the Pleasant Grove school
which is within a half block of the
garden. and while playing at recess
one day she lost the little ring.-St

Good Grades.

Grades among horses and cattle
are more easily produced than
full bloods because the number
of unregistered females is far greater
than the number registered or that
have the right to be registered. 1t
requires the selection only of good
sire to insure a certain amount OF
quality, but to get the best quality it
is necessary to have a good dam as
well as good sire. Good grades,
whether of horses or cattle, are worth
far more than poor grades. We have
no standard of grades and can have
none, though breeders from time tc
time have tried to put upon paper
what they considered the points OF
good grades of different breeds. Some
day we may have associations dealing
with grades only, and when that time
comes the characteristics of the good
grades may be defined by rules tend
ing toward q standard.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Land that dries quickly after a
rain is best for poultry yard.
Use plenty of china nest eggs.
Whatever may be her reason, biddy
likes them.
All incubators need watching. They
are automatic only to a certain de-
gree. Even the old hen with her nat
ural instinct trips now and then and
needs help.
Wherever there is an available spot
in the poultry runs, SOW hardy green's.
Oats, field peas, dwarf Essex rape,
either singly or together. We recon-
mend for trial oats and vetches.
Prices of market eggs and poultry
have been high enough for few
months past to encourage poultry
keepers who may have feared that
their business was being overdone.
The market is growing larger every
year.
The chicks in a brooder make a
good thermometer. If they spread
about and are happy, the heat is right;
If they huddle together or crowd to
the place where the heat usually is,
they are too cold. Watch them and
see that they do not get overheated.
Our old and often recommended
preventive of lice in nests is big
handful of dry slaked lime in the bot
tom of nest boxes. A little carbolic
acid is put on the lime before it is
slaked. Every time the hen steps in
that nest she stirs up the carbolated
lime dust.
Whitewashing the interior of poul-
try houses is a seasonable job. Strain
the wash and apply with a spray
pump. Pour carbolic acid on the lump
lime before shaking it. Lime wash is
cheap, make it thin and soak things.
If you make it thick it stays on the
surface.

Sat Up and Yawned in Coffin.

AS Superintendent Roy of a Mon.
treal, Canada, cemetery and some of
his assistants entered the vault they
were much affirighted to see a man
deliberately sit up in a coffin, stretch
his arms, and yawn. Thinking them
selves in the presence of the super
natural, the men fed.
Later some of them summoned up
enough courage to make an investiga-
ton. When they got back to the
vault they found the man, who was
barefooted, calmly walking about. He
said that his name is Luring and that
he is a Greek. He was taken before

FACTS ABOUT PoRKERS.

Do you know how much it costs
is one man who does.
He is a Michigander. He told me
the other day that he knew to a cent
just what every pound of pork cost
How could he do it? This is what he
says about that
II weigh the feed | give them, and
I use middlings and corn more than
anything else. | know the cost of it
all and l keep an account with the
feed man.
Regularly l weigh the pigs They
have got so they know just what is
coming when l open the door and let
them out on the scales, and they
march along without bit of trouble
to be weighed. If | weigh them ev-
cry week. knowing what is the cost of
the feed | have given them and the in
crease in weight, | am sure to T
what it has cost me to put the flesh
on them. If it costs me three cents
a pound to make a pound of pork, and
that is about what it does now, and
sell at five and a half live weight, |
can easily get at my profit"
Now, this is business. Not one out
of fifty men has things down like
that. But why not? 1t is just what
the merchant does. He must do it
if he would know at the end of the
year whether he has been doing bust
ness at loss or not.
We farmers have been doing things
too much by guess, haven't we?

Fads and Utilities.

In the breeding of horses and cat.
tie fancy points may be tolerat-
ed, but they should not be per.
mitted to crowd out the most USE
full qualities of the animals. II we can
get the right shape on the horn of the
Ayrshire without taking from some
thing else, there is no objection to
having the kind Of horn that The
standard requires. The same is tue
of the color of the draft horse. But
the useful qualities are the cnes that
are to be looked after and they are the
ones in which our stock is now most
deficient. This applies to rure bred
animals. But in the case of grades we
can ignore the fads altogether end
work only toward the useful.
