The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-07-19

An English journalist who has made
a tour through Holland under the guild
ance of several agricultural and CO.
operative societies has recorded his i'm
pressions Of the dairying industry as
follows:
1.-The visitor is much struck by the
careful steps taken to use the land to
the greatest advantage and by the
number Of cattle kept on the small
acreage Of most of the farms. One
case In point: There is capital pas
ture farm Of seventy-one acres - all
grass, no arable-and on this are kept no
less than slxty-four cows, in addition
close stocking as this Is practically I'M
known in this country, and the cattle
have to be literally fed in the winter
upon linseed cake in order to maintain
the fertility of the soil.
1.-THE cattle are pretty we'll of type
black and white-and are essentially
of a dairying character.
at the cattle market at Leeuwarden,
Friesland, every week there are five
or six thousand cows for sale, while In
the spring and autumn this number
largely increases. A peculiar feature Is
that many Of the cows are wearing
cloths across the loins. The reason for
this Is that the cows are almost invari-
ably turned out at the beginning of
May, at time when we experience
many severe night frosts, and conse-
qucntly this covering is put on as a
protection until the summer advances.
The milk yield Of some Of these cows
is really remarkable. One which had
been calved three weeks and just turn
ed out to grass gave between six and
seven gallons of milk containing SO
per cent Of butter fat.

the hens. have found this plan keeps
these birds in better condition than
they would otherwise be.
The hens, too, should be well fed.
They cannot produce strong. hntchable
eggs II they are thin and hungry. Mel
Their can they If they are over rat. "A
happy medium should be obtained be-
tween these two extremes.
The breeding stock should not be
kept in the same yard or pen with the
young stock. If the young stock Is
given free range, as 1t should be. then
the old birds should be confined. In
this many breeders make a mistake.
They allow the young and old birds to
run together much to the disadvantage
of the younger and weaker ones.
have found that best results can be
obtained by mating male bird to SIX
or eight hens and not over ten hens at
the most. This applies to birds In con-
finement. If they have free range fif-
teen females are not too many for one
vigorous male.

COOLING MOTH

The Necessary Number Of sDrayings

experiment station.
Active mature larvae Of the codlinS
moth may be found In Ohio orchards
from June 80 to Oct Is, which fact sig
niles that the fruit Is more or less sub
ject to attack during the greater part
Of the growing season.
An average Of results from I'M
sprayed plots In three widely separated

past season 49 per cent of the picked
apple crop would have shown injury
from codling moth at harvest. In add
ton to this a considerable quantity Of
fruit fell during the summer. a large
percentage Of which was undoubtedly
wormy. The results from sprayed plots
averaged only 0 per cent wormy fruit.
In other words. 81 per cent Of the fruit
from sprayed plots was free from in
Jury at this time, whereas Of that from
unsprayed plots only 81 per cent could
be 80 classed.
The figures from each Of the thTee
orchards indicate that a large number
Of sprayings are unnecessary to con.

with them l like them better than any
cattle ever owned, although to start
a herd Is rather costly, since g0o;i
males are hard to obtain, says an Hi.
nois dairyman in Orange Judd Farmer.
AS to the milking qualities. they are
better than the average Jersey, and ]
think much preferable to this breed,
since they are more of IL general pur.
pose animal. They carry their quality
to their progeny we'll when crossed,
and l know of several half bloods
which are especially good mixers.
The Belts are hardy and stand cold
winters well. They breed large and
make fine steers. The first four half
blood steers raised from my COW sold
before three years old, weighing over
1000 pounds each. In my opinion,
there Is more profit in them as mixers
because Of their hardness and ability
to make much from the feed.

AT this time of the year too much
Importance cannot be attached to the
care of the breeding stock. If our
breeders are in poor condition we must
expect our chicks to be weak and lack
Ing In vitality, says writer in Sue
cessful Poultry Journal. Many breed
ers wonder why they lose so many
chicks every year. They give the chicks
tne best Of food and care, and still
they lose large numbers. But often
these same persons neglect the old
birds from which they raise their
chicks.
II possible at this time Of year it Is
good plan to have the birds on grass
range. The larger the range the better
II will be for the birds. Eggs from
plrds on free range are always more
FERTILE than from birds In yards. But
some OF us cannot give our birds free
range. Then the best thing we can do
Is 10 as nearly as possible give our
!arded birds the conditions they would

This was the feature of the great show
1t Is conceded by all experts and dairy
critics that machinery limits or it ex-

Weak Legs.

Weak legs, so often met, Is the result
of disorder of the Kidneys, due to Il
course of feeding with an unsuitable
diet. Give the chicks rather large
allowance of meat or some other AMI
NAL matter and some milk to drink /;
also some porrdge made of middings
and milk. All their diet should be
highly nourlshing and such as can be
easily digested. 1t Is also advisable to
keep them on bed of dry chaff, and
If they are in brooder to keep down
the temperature to just below 90 de-

HAVANA, Oct. IO.-The failure OF the bank
ing firm Of j. NJ. Ceballos 4 Co. of New
York is generally connected here with the
supposed difficulties Of the house Of Silveira
4 Co. OF this city. Though Senior Batista,
a representative Of Senior Silveira. says
that Silveira & Co. have rot failed, the
departure Of Senior Silveira ten days ago
on a cattle steamer was believed to indi-
cate financial embarrassment. Both Sill
veira and Ceballos made large profits from
the purchase OF Cuban army claims. each,
it Ia believed, having cleared $25O.OOO.
They represented some New York bankers
whose names are not mentioned. Silveira
and Cehallos we're also interested in what is
known as the Silveira Sugar Company, to
which Silveira subscribed 345, goo and
CeballOs SIS 900. Ceballos gave his name to
a colony in Camaguey, where many thou
sands of range trees are planted. Some
months ago this concern was largely written
up by the Havana papers, and it was said
at the time that CeballOs wished to raise

men were interested in the Tacon Theatre

the scheme to Sell that theatre to the Gov
eminent, Silveira being considered at the
time A. haV inR more influence with Presi-
dent Fal1a Il an anybody else. The scheme,
however. was ouaShed, largely through
a~rticlea that were published by TIVE SUN.
Silveira explained his departure on a
cattle steamer by saying his two children
were non-immune and he wished to escape
being ~quarantined at New York.
While nothing definit can be learned
TO show that Silveira has failed opinion IL
unanimous that he is probably in difficulties.

RI am never without Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment since l tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. did not take much notice of 1t at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then 1 began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but l became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe- cially at night, just as soon as l would get in bed and get warm, my whole body Would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and 1t was not long beSore I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l did, and the first aPpLi- cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cutiura Ointment to my whole body; and l kept getting better, and by the time used four boxes of Cuticura was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but l continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan druff out and scalp is always clean. l always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. 1 will never be without it," D. E. Blankenship,

The vanquished one was silent for

rmlle on his face. How long did you
ltay In New York on each Of the five
visits you made?"
The other scratched his head mo-
ment before replying. and said: We'll
