make. but Chamberlain Pain Balm.

with great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain. and hum

During the month of August two

mercial congress, which was held in
Seattle two years ago, will meet in
Portland on August 16 to 10, and on
August 21 to "a the national irriga-
I. ton congress will be held. These
two organizations have much in COM

other they may be sure of large
attendance.

ayers evidently IOroS00 the rendrkdDle
development that is destined to take
place in the Pacific Northwest in the
next five or ten years.
1t is the opinion of State Horticul-
tural Commissioner Van Holdenbeke
that one-half of the Washington
peach orchards this year will not pro-
iuce fruit. He bases his opinion on
the fact that along the Snake river,
in certain portions Of Yakima county,
and in other sections the frost has
nipped the peach blooms. Other Sec
tons, he says, have entirely escaped
injury.
Real estate agents in Colfax and
other towns in eastern Washington say
there is strong demand for farm
lands and that the number of farms
for sale is growing rapidly less. The
price of good agricultural land is adj
vancing, and farmers predict that II
the present seasons crops are up to
the average and the prices as good as
last year little land can be bought for
less than $50 per acre, while the best
improved farms will bring as high as
SIS per acre.
The country papers of Washington
and Oregon have been giving consil-
cradle publicity to the seedless apple
mentioned at length in the last two
numbers of The Ranch. In nearly
every instance that has come to our
notice the new apple has been highly
lauded. The editors might do we'll to
look into such matters a little before
making their readers believe the seed
less apple is a valuable one to plant,
while the contrary is true, so far as the
present status of the apple goes.
The time Is coming when the pub
lie schools of the state will have the
study of agriculture as part of their
regular curriculum. This would be
very valuable addition to the studies
in the schools, and it is gratifying to
know that the faculty of the state
college favors it. Since the major
ity of the people in any common
wealth gain their livelihood from the
soil it is but right that their children
be taught the rudiments of agricul-
ture, for they are the men and women
of the future and will have the res
possibility of running the farms that
their fathers leave them.
During the present season the cause
of irrigation will receive a great i'm
petus in the arid sections of the far
west. The governments of the several
states affected are deeply interested
in seeing hundreds of thousands of
acres of arid land reclaimed, and the
federal government is having it's ex-
perts take up every feasible project
and encourage it's building as far as
possible What this means to the diff
ferent communities cannot be COM
puted in dollars and cents. Large
numbers of new settlers will pour into
those districts as fast as land becomes
available for crop raising and in every
other way the country will be i'm
proved.
Recently a large consignment OF
flour, some 10000 sacks, was shipped
from Puget Sound ports to Liverpool,
England, around the Horn. When the

market for flour in the United States

from an observation of the suns alti-
tude. 1t consists, says the Louisville
Courier Journal, of a pivoted globe,
formed of glass in order to secure per-
feet transparency, containing lines rep
resenting meridians OF longitude and
parallels of latitude. Outlines OF the
continents can also be marked on the
globe. On the axis and within the
center of the globe is mounted small
bulb of Opaque material. BY the Pc
culiar mechanism of the parts, in con-
nection with a clock dial and COM
pass, it is only necessary to set the
instrument and the shadow cast by
the bulb will fall upon the point on
the globe corresponding to the posi-
ton of the vessel at that time. The
inventor claims that when the merid-
ian is known and the sun is visible at
sufficient elevation above the horizon
for the ordinary form of solar observa-
ton, the position Of vessel at sea
can be determined accurately and
quickly by purely mechanical means
without the necessity of making any
of the usual calculations based upon
observations with sextant or other
solar altitude instrument. The ease
of setting the parts of the mechanism
to secure the satisfactory observation
is greater than in making observations
with the ordinary form of instrument,
and the results are obtained in tangible
form at once.
