after now and then a worm will show
it's presence by throwing out it's frass
or chips, and if the law is enforced
to the letter the car would have to
be repacked or condemned to be de-
stroyed. Perhaps no one could be
found who would favor such rigid
enforcement of the law But if our
officials permit any discrimination,
then to what extent can this be al
lowed?
That is the knotty problem before
the horticultural commissioner OF this
state and the county fruit inspectors.
To my mind there is but one safe rule
to go by, and that is to allow any
man to ship, either in the state or
out of it, the so-called wormy apples
or to give them away, provided that In
doing so the Goblin moth is not car
ried into sections free from this pest.
One objection to this rule have just
laid down is that if we allow a man
to sell his Gull apples we lower the
standard of fruit raising. This may
have some truth in it, but can we ap-
ply such a rule as will say to man
what he shall raise or sell provided
he does not scatter pest or disease
by doing so? Jack Splawn raises a
very high grade of cattle to the credit
of Yakima county. No doubt but II
all cattle raisers in that county would
raise as fine thoroughbred cattle as
A. J. Splawn is would rebound to the
credit of the county and greatly to
it's financial standing. Can we compel
the man who raises scrub cattle and
sells the same, to raise fine Here
fords? No! If he carries on a bust
ness that scatters disease among cat
tie, he can be punished, for in that
way he damages his neighbor. But
the man raising fine stock can be
punished for the same crime. No law
should ever say to a man what kind
of stock-cattle, horses. sheep or pigs
he shall raise. Neither should the
law say whether man shall raise

The department has net as yet ac-

Secretary Wilson is inclined to re-

Roads equipped With them and
which maintain feeding stations along

much concerned in the agitation over

the law is unfair to both the railroads

since the 4th in the hope that the stray
canine will be captured by the dog catchers
after their daily trip through the city.
During the th!rty-two years that Pound
master Einstein has been in charge of the
pound he has impounded about 100000
dogs. The poundmaster and his assistants
do not have the same trouble these days
In taking possession of stray animals that
they had in the earlier days. and Mr.. Elm
stein rarely speaks of the days when he
had to fight for the possession of the ami
mails. In those days many horses, cows,
goats mules, hogs and geese were taken
up. Now these conditions are changed
and consequently only few domestic ami
mails are found astray within the limits Of
the District of Columbia as compared with
the number impounded formerly.
Mr.. Einstein mentions raid of a flock
of geese many years ago, which came near
terminating in serious injury to some Of
the participants in the raid. 1t is mat
ter of history that flock of geese saved
the city upon the seven hills beside the
Tiber, but another flock of geese came
near causing considerable injury to the
poundmaster about twenty years ago.
1t was up in the nefghborhOod Of Lin
coin Park, which was surrounded by COM
mons at that time, and upon these COM
mons the poundmaster and his assistants
managed to get together large flock of
geese They were about to begin the drive
to the pound, when the inhabitants of the
neighborhood swooped down upon them and
started to put the poundmaster and his
assistants out of business. Einstein
rallied his forces and forgetting all about
! the geese started to force his way through
the crowd, which numbered about 200 per-
sons, armed with sticks and clubs.
The news travelled to the police precinct
and before long wagon load of blue coats
was upon the scene. Twenty-eight pris-
oners were in court the next morning. and
after being identified by the poundmaster
were fined for disturbing the peace.

Dog days will soon be upon us and then
the Washington resident will look with sus-
picious eyes upon every canine which gives
the slightest evidence of hostility or feroc-
ity. The terrors of hydrophobia are not
pleasant things to contemplate by even
the most courageous individuals, and the
sight on a sweltering hot day of dog run
ming down the street with glaring eyes and
foaming mouth will send the majority of
strong minded, able-bodied men to the tall
timber with alacrity. One of the measures
taken by the municipality for the protection
of residents OF Washington from hydropho-
bia during dog days Is the maintenance of
the dog pound where stray dogs without
owners and those running at large without
proper tags are detained.

pound was established with Samuel Elm
stein the first poundmaster. Mr.. Elm
stein Is still the lord high executioner" as
well as the lord chief Justice" at the CO.
nine calaboose for it is left to his discretion
as to whether the captured dogs shall be al
lowed to live or shall be put to death. If,
in the opinion of the poundma Ster, a dog
taken by the -"catchers'' appears to be of
some value, it IS given a little longer lease
on life mainly in the hope that the owner
will appear and claim his property. If no
owner appears, however, or if the animal is
not purchased by some person desiring a
dog, the brute is disposed OF by sending him
to that mystical land beyond this earthly
sphere where dog tags are not required and
where there are no dog catchers to interfere
with the freedom of the canine species
During his long term of service as pound
master Mr.. Einstein states that he recalls
but one instance wherein an impounded dog
actually developed hydrophoba. The ami
NAL referred to was of the fox hound breed,
and after it was Melted and taken to the
pound 1t was put in a separate apartment
IN the large cage, since the hound seemed
to be affected with what the poundmaster

To Increase the
Cotton Crop

~ = = . : + ~ 4 + 4 4 f4f
While the cotton Leak in the statistical
division of the Department of Agriculture
is absorbing much OF the departments
time, the bureau of plant industry is going
ahead with a scheme that 1t is thought
can about double the production of cotton
In the United States at no expense to the
planters. 1t is nothing less than the run
ming of cotton trains" through the belt on
the same principle that the corn trains"
have been tried In Iowa and Kansas. Most
people do not know even what the corn
train is and what 1t has accomplished so
II may be well to refer TO that. 1t is prac-
tically applying the departments method
OF selection in plant breeding In q rough
andready way to the work of the farmer
in the field. 1t Is beautifully simple and in
expensive and is variety of help that the
farmers have been quick to appreciate.
The corn trains in Iowa and Kansas
were pure experiments, but they resulted
in increasing the yield of the fields where
the experiments were tried at the rate OF
about five bushels an acre, and that with
OUT any additional expense for fertilizers.
The department started out with one train
"a special, consisting of two cars that
would seat about seventy persons each. The
coming of the train for free lecture was
advertised In advance along It's line of
travel. and il was seldom that both cars
were not filled with farmers. while in some
cases overflow meetings had to be held
after the manner OF the Salvation Army.
The special, with Its two cars. would stop
at station at a given time and be
switched to a siding. In each car one of
the departments workers would deliver a
short and simple lecture, illustrated with
corn ears and diagrams. on the selection
of the seed crop. The lecturer would show
how by cutting off the two ends OF the ear
much of the smaller and comparatively
worthless seed might be eliminated. and
then would show how small section of old
