Swim English Channel.

Dover, Eng, Aug. 25.The thirtieth
anniversary of the success of Captain

candidates anxious to emulate the
famous swimmer. They are Miss An

swimmer of Australia IT W. Burgess,
who has already made three unsuc-.
cessflll attempts to swim the channel
and Horace New. All three made an
early start from this vicinity under
favorable weather conditions
After covering six miles Miss Kel-
lerman was overcome by seasickness
and gave up the attempt.

man arose and asked if it was not far
better to rub off the young buds than
to wait and prune them out later. My
answer to him was that rubbing off
young shoots was one method of prun-
ing and a very important one, too.
We top-worked 1000 trees the past
spring and already we have sent a
man over those trees and rubbed off
the young sprouts. Any one who ever
did any top-worKing knows that
sprouts will grow abundantly on the
stubs into which we have inserted the
scions. If these are allowed to grow
they will almost smother the CRAFTS.
By keeping these adventurous sprouts
rubbed off the CRAFTS will make a far
better growth than if they are al
lowed to remain. There is one dan
ger to be encountered by doing this,
and that is the gratis may grow so
rapidly that they will be broken off
by the wind. For this reason it may
sometimes be advisable to leave some
of the sprouts and cut them out the
next spring. By all means, l would
recommend that water sprouts, as
they are commonly called, should be
rubbed off in the summer. 1t takes
the strength of the tree to rear these
sprouts, and as they are absolutely USE
less so far as fruit production is con-
cerned, they should be- Kept off and let
the strength go to nOurishing the
fruit.

Some form of arsenic is nearly al
ways the poison. A word OF caution
may not be out of place. Keep this
poison where children cannot get at
it. Cattle, hogs, and even chickens
may be poisoned by getting at the
spraying material. The vessels IN
which such poisons are kept should
not be used for other purposes unless
very thoroughly cleansed. These ma
terials should be kept under lock and
key and should not be easily accessible
to human beings or stock. IAN ounce
of prevention is worth pound OF

The horticultural editor is in receipt
of a letter from Prof. S. w. Fletcher,
of Cornell university, Ithaca, New
York, in which he says: by this
time, you have probably met Professor
Thornber. You will find him rather
quiet fellow, but more faithful work
cr and a truer man never crossed the
divide. I am sure that he will build
I'D the horticultural interests OF the
Washington State College, as [ see by
the paper it is now called" This is
high testimony for our new professor
of horticulture at Pullman. Our lead
ing fruit growers will be pleased to
meet Prof. Thornber. We were great
ly benefited by the counsel OF such
men as Fletcher, Booth and Piper, and
hope to find equal assistance in Prof.
Thornber.
Under date of May the editor OF
this department received letter from
Prof. N. o. Booth, of the Geneva ex-
pertinent station, of New York, who
is so we'll and favorably known to the
fruit growers of Washington, in which
he says: "The copies of The Ranch
were duly received. was much inter

Ranch. That will properly belong
to the daily and weekly press.
But there will be many things
to be learned touching horticulture,
and these will engage our attention.
The exhibit of fruit at this fair ought
to be the finest ever shown on the
American continent, and for that mat
ter on the whole earth. From Cali
fornia up into British Columbia is
the greatest fruit country in the
world At Hood River, Oregon, We
natchee, Chelan and Yakima in Wash
ington, and in the Okanagan country
in British Columbia, the best apples
are raised and find a ready sale in the
markets of the world. California will
come up with oranges, figs, dates,
lemons, and SO on to the end of the
list. This is not to be a fruit fair eX-
clusively, by any means, but no other
international fair can be held in
region where all kinds of fruit of the
finest do so enormously abound. Pa
cific Coast fruit has attracted great
attention at all worlds fairs. Then
why should it not be most distin-
gushing feature When the fair is here
in it's native heath? Fruit is spec
tacular. Many people will stop and
gaze on it and pass by, with little
or no attention, to other things not
so snowy. The writer feels proud of
the fact that he is to take charge of
the fruit from one of the largest and
best fruit-growing sections on the Pa
cific Coast. There will be no jealousy
on his part when the other noted fruit
growing sections come up with their
Gyn NOSmOnOI-
itan in his makeup not to give the
mead of praise where it belongs. If
the people of Yakima county will arise
to the occasion and "snow under"
their representative with the best the
rich valley can produce we will be
found marching in the procession and,
sight behind.
Then what genuine pleasure it
wall be to grasp by the hand such men
as E. L. Smith, of Hood River; j. d.
dwell, of Central Point; G. M. Kig-
gins, of Boise, and-well l must just
stop, for I can't enumerate all OF the
noble fruit men whom I expect to meet
at the fair. am not ''too old nor too
contrary" to learn from these men
when we talk over fruit matters. what
I learn of practical nature will be
given to our readers from time to
time. Then there will be the horti-
cultural editors. Come around, breth-
rem, and shake hands with the old man
that "feels just as young as he used
to be-"
One of our exchanges speaks OF
"glove pruning" What is that? 1t
simply means that at this time OF the
year we should go through our or
chards with gloved hands and rub Off
many young sprouts while they can
be easily removed. This is no small
matter Much labor can be saved, as
well as the trees benefited, by this
rubbing-off process. Trees must be
kert open-headed if we want our fruit
to color we'll. Far better to do much
of this by the glove process than to
wait till the next winter or spring and
then have to remove the sprouts with
the pruning shears. Once at farm
ers' institute I was lecturing on prun-

N. McAuley, Of Tacoma, asks the
following question: GAS editor of
The Ranch will you be kind enough
to publish in it's columns the best way
to make cider vinegar?" I take it
for granted that friend McAuley wants
information as to the necessary steps
to make homemade" cider vinegar.
In regular vinegar factories there are
generators and somewhat complicated
machinery and these things need not
be mentioned here. To show how to
make this homemade cider vinegar
make the following quotation from a
standard work now lying before me:
Use sound, ripe apples, picked or
picked up before they have become
dirty, if possible, otherwise washed.
Observe the ordinary precautions to
secure cleanliness in grinding and
pressing, and discard all juice from
second DRESSINGS. If possible, let the
juice stand in some large receptacle
for few days to settle, then draw off
the clear portion into well-cleaned bar

us, stating as their belief that half IN
hour later would have sealed their
doom, their little fortress being COM
manded by hills. We remained untika
wagon arrived from Custer and resumed
our journey. At the scene of the
fight we found the body of the a
half naked and scalped, and buried him.
Some of the horses, badly wounded,
were still alive, their hair singed by the
prairie fire the Indians had started to
drive the men from cover. We put them
out of misery ami proceeded on our way.
In the afternoon we were startled by a
number of men on horseback appearing
around a bend in the road, but Dol
perceived that they were not Indians,
but soldiers from Fort Laramie who had
gone to the rescue of the wagon train
which they were escorting to the Hills.
When the commanding officer, Captain
+. reached our band, he remarked to
Major W.: "Iou have a tough looking
crowd, but you may be glad that you
did not get there, not a soul OF you
would ever have come back He ex-
planned that there had been so many
Indians that they were glad to get the
wagons out without any fighting and
what that meant will be understood
when we consider that there were fifty
cavelrymen, seventy-ive infantry, sixty
wagons with at least two or three men
with each wagon. The next day we re-
turned to Custer without any trophies
of war, but with all our hair, which was
perhaps best after all.
Not long afterward we joined the
general rush to Deadwood, took up
claims on a small stream, Il tributary to
Deadwood creek, and settled down for
business.
