A FRFE SHOW.

There have been moving pic
ture shows innumerable Lere the
past two months. Some bad,
some Indifferent and some good.
There was one exhibition of
this kind here last Tuesday
morning which was far and be-
yond the best we have seen.
You did not see it? Well, you
lost something if you have an
eye for the beautiful.
What is more, the show was
free.
The high mountains just west
and north of the town was the
back ground-the screen. The
sun was the lime light, and the
white aeecy clouds, as they
swept along from north to south
against the mountains, halfway
between the base and summit,
was the film.
The dark green of the pine
trees, covered with snow and
ice, now gray, now white, again
sparkling in the bright sunlight
like ten thousand diamonds,
such a kaleidoscope change of
colors, lights and shadows as
were thrown against the noun
tain side last Tuesday morning
about nine o'clock, was never
equaled by the invention of puny
man.
What fantastic tricks does ma
ture play in some of her varied
moods. and how infinitely small
and helpless she makes US NOR
tails feel.
The man who witnessed, this
sight last Tuesday morning and
was not stirred with that
mysterious desire to bow down
and worship something higher,
better than mere human dress,
is fit only for treason and outer
darkness.

OUR CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The Echo wishesall its friends,
its patrons, yea, even its enc
mics, if it has any, Merry
Christmas.
Let US at least, on this one day,
hallowed by the birth of Savior
for the whole human family, see if
we cannot Danish hatred and evil
from the mind and from the
bottom of our heart, wish a
merry Christmas to all.
For nearly two thousand years
the Christian world has held this
day sacred to the memory of
Him who preached the doctrine
of peace and good will-of Him
whose simple life has been an
inspiration and solace to man
kind-Whose love and compass
sion was as boundless as the
universe.
Would any man deny that the
world IS better for His coming,
even though an unbeliever?
Hardly.
His meek and lowly life has
been the theme of many song
aud story, The uttermost parts
ofstaae earth have felt the power
of His teachings and been made
better.
Is there any reason then why
we should not observe the day
jim memory of HIM who first de-
clared son earth, peace. Good
will to man." and wish for all ga
Merry Christmas. :"

"LOOKING BACK WARD

In June last the editor of the
Wenatchee reprint for Leaven-
worth distribution served notice
on the Echo that he must have
some Leavenworth money, and
if the editor of this paper would
not give him the job of printing
his paper in Wenatchee he would
come up here himself and get
the money. This, coupled with
a statement made by one of his
employees, that he knew there
was mot room for two news
papers in Leavenwort tn, pointed
to but one direction. If under
these circumstances the editor
of the reprint INDUCED the
thought for one moment that
the Echo would smooth the way
for his coming-well, he made
mistake.
The instinct of self preserva-
ton will prompt some men to
beg for life. AS for this one he
is so constituted that he will
fight for quarter, but beg, never.
1t was only necessary to UNI
mask the scheme of the We
natchee publisher and the trick
was done.
The Echo made no mistake
when it thought that the people
of Leavenworth had too much
pride in their own town to aid in
building up a business in a rival
town at the expense of an enter
prise already established here.
The Echo warned the publisher
of the Leavenworth end of the
Wenatchee paper more than
three months ago that he would
have experience for his pains if
he came up here after Leaven-
worth money to build up a We
natchee enterprise.
Leavenworth people are for
Leavenworth first, last and all
the time. The place would be-
come, and ought to become, the
abode of bats and owls if this
spirit did not previl.
Talk about legitimate enter
prise. The Echo asserts boldly
that so far as this town is con-
cerned it isillegitimate--beg
in sin, born in iniquity and swad-
died in graft, and that it de
serves to die and be buried with
out the benefit of clergy.

Use Steamed Bone Meal.

A good many farmers are putting
bone meal on their lands at the rate
of 200 pounds to the acre, for the
purpose of restoring the phosphorus.
Many of them are, however, making
the mistake of putting on raw bone
meal instead of steamed bone meal.
In all cases the steamed bone meal
should be used, as it is as rich or
richer in phosphorus than the other
kind and costs less. This lessened
cost is due to the fact that the bones
before being ground were steamed tc
get the value of the nitrogen they
contain. All the phosphorus was left
in, and that is what the farmer is
principally after when he buys bone
meal. Professor Hopkins and other
experimenters are continually calling
the attention of the farmer to this
matter, but there are many that seem
to pay no heed and go on buying the
more expensive kind. This is a case
where the cheapest is the best.

Frequent Sprayinqs.

The novice in spraying cannot az
ford to be so careless about his spray.
ings that he will miss the end for
which he is working. Neither should
he try to get along with the fewest
possible number Of sprayings. The
best sprayers have indeed reduced the
number to the minimum, but they
are experienced men that have
learned to make every spraying count
for the most possible.
In many cases it has been found
that SO far as the orchard is con-
cerned, four sprayings in spring give
the greatest returns, while spraying
every two weeks from the middle of
April to the middle of August give
the greatest proportion of perfect
fruit. The additional sprayings cost
more than the additional fruit is
worth, as a general thing.
Taking all things into considera-
ton the method that will pay the best
consists in spraying the trees as soon
as the blossoms fall and then every
two weeks till four sprayings have
been given. The sprayings must be
we'll done if they are to be of any
value. Slipshod work will not
prove effective in preventing the raw
ages of insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is new
err profitable. 1t requires mature judg
ment and thoroughness to DO the work
as it should be done.

Hens for HatcninQ.

In spite of the fact that incubators
and breeders have been brought to
great state of perfection, the old hen
will still be used on most farms. The
hen is a more skillful producer of
chicks than is the incubator in the
hands of the average man and woman.
Where only few fowls are kept and
only a few chicks are desired the hen
will still hold her popularity. We
believe that where the farmer desires
to keep a good-sized flock of hens
and to raise yearly in excess OF 100
chicks the incubator should be used.
tut we realize the fact that on mil
ions of our farms just enough fowls
are kept to consume the scraps from
the table.
The hens for setting purposes must
come from some of the breeds that
have not had the maternity instinct
bred out of them. We would not
think of selecting any of the Leghorn
breeds for sitters. Probably there is
no breed that produces better sitters
than the Plymouth Rocks. But in Sc.
lecting fowl for this work, prefer
ence should be given to those that
are light in weight, as the heavy fowls
both break eggs and trample chicks to
death. We have found the lighter
weights to give most excellent salts
faction. While they cannot cover so
many eggs as the larger fowls they
will bring more chicks to maturity.
