Mr.. Foster Sounds a Warning.

Before the recent annual meeting of
the Inland Registered Stock Breeders
association held at Pullman, w. d.
Foster foreman of the State College
farm, spoke on the subject of feeding
the beef steer. In his opening remarks
he addressed himself particularly to
the wheat farmers of the Inland EN-
pre- warning them that they cannot
always depend on their big wheat
farms paying them as handsomely as
they have of late years. He referred
to the statements made by wheat
farmers to the effect that in keeping
cattle on their ranches they were do
ing themselves an injury. Mr.. Foster
disavowed any intention to dispute the
sincerity of their statements. He ad-
mitted they have been favored with an
abundant harvest of wheat almost
every year, and their minds have
grown obstuse to any other phase of
the farming question They have, prac-
tically speaking, put all the eggs in
one basket, and, so long as the Hes
sian fly, weavil and other wheat pests
do not come, they will without doubt
continued to have the same ideas. We
would dislike very much to prophecy
evil to the wheat rancher, but we
know for fact that other states and
countries have had these things to con-
tend with. 1t is just possible thing

creatures make their home the year
round, above the timber line and
among perpetual SHOWS. They are
most numerous in the northern part
of the state, in Chelan and Okanogan
counties.
I believe in June, when the kids are
quite young, one could get the In
dams to capture some kids without
any great trouble. The main difficulty
is to climb where they range. In
hunting them, the climb is the main
task; but once you get above them,
they can be shot like tame sheep, as
they seem to be bewildered and al
ways look for their enemy coming
from below. I never saw one run
while being shot at, and have killed
them at thirty yards. They are much
larger than AngOraS and at short
distance you would not be able to tell
them from real Angoras, but on close
examination they have head more like
an antelope, wool like tame sheep,
with some long, white hair, which is
quite long and thick on shoulder and
lower part of the hind and front quar-
ters. Every year they shed their

Der the new hair and wool is about
four inches long. After the pelt is re-
moved the carcass resembles a buff
falo, with large shoulders and small
hind quarters. l like the meat much
better than venison. The Indians go
into the mountains in October and kill
them by hundreds. l was told of
party of Indians, three years ago, on
White river, in Chelan county, sur
rounding a band of thirty-five head
and shooting every last one OF them.
Our state law says person can shoot
only two males in year, but this law
is violated with impunity and l never
heard of single case of prosecution
on account of it's violation.
Wild goats have a peculiar way of
sitting down like a dog. l once

feeding and playing-they are very
playful-and the kids would repeated

information in regard to the wild goat,
and hope some one will make the
attempt to cross the two species be-
force the wild goat is exterminated,
which, I believe, at the rate they are
being killed, is only question of a
few years, in this state. And it is
shame! They are such a tame, inno-
cent animal and inhabit elevations
where no other animal life can ex-
list.

AS a possible stimulus to river cities
in German states, school Of naviga-
ton has been established at Mannheim
for the purpose of educating young
men employed on river boats in the
art of navigation and kindred sciences,
says the New York Herald. The term
lasts about eight weeks in winter,
while the Rhine River Is icebound.
Students are taught penmanship, Ian

cial law and everything necessary for
them to know regarding shipbuilding
and navigation. They must be IS years
old and must have worked at least one
year on a river boat. The tuition fee
is nominal, and for boys without means
entirely free. The men generally grad
uate after two winter terms of eight
weeks each, receive a captains patent

are at least twenty years old. Steam.

l have always hated hotels, so I lost
no time in looking round for lodgings
suitable to my means, and was fortunate
enough to obtain a couple of rooms in the
house occupied by priest, Father
Jacques Bonchretien. He was a very good
fellow, and though we did not become 49,
innate, l could always rely on his cour-
tesy and friendly services. Here l lived
in great comfort at an expense of fifty
dollars a month, and l soon found that
my spare fifty made me a well-to-do man
in Nottingham. Accordingly l had the
entree of all the best houses, including
the Golden House, and a very pleasant
little society we had; occasional dances,
frequent dinners, and plenty of lawn ten

tedium l had somewhat feared, and the
young ladies of Nottingham did their
best to solace my exile. As for business,

Whether it may be called progress or
not, the tendency in this country of
late years has been to oblittrate the
line that used to be drawn between the
ruralite and the city dweller. Free
mail delivery, rural telephone systems
and fast mail daily newspapers have
rendered the agriculturist quite as
acute and up to date as his metropoli-
tan cousin. The Jay" the "rube," the
"hayseed," Is vanished type. Like
the stage Irishman and the stage
Dutchman, he persists on the boards Of
the vaudeville theaters, but he Is seen
nowhere else. The farmer Of to-day Is
the product Of evolution. He may
some time revert to the old species,
but for the present there Is little to
distinguish him from the resident Of
urban communities. We may doubt,
however, whether the change or the
evolution Is altogether desirable. There
were those who affected a certain pity
ing contempt for the guileless farmer
and there were others who sought to
pie there was always feeling Of af-
fectionate respect for the sturdy tiller
Of the soil, who typified most that was
wholesome and honest in the life Of the
nation. 1t Is impossible to feel that
way toward the modern farmer, be-
cause he has lost all the distinguishing
characteristics Of the traditional agri.
culturist. So far from going about
with his trousers In his boots, chewing
a straw, he Is more likely to wear Ok
ford ties and openwork socks. He has
become sophisticated and his charm has
vanished. We used to picture him, and
with truth, as redolent Of the SOIL We
saw him coming to town on a load OF
hay or with lot Of garden truck. He
leaves that to his hired man nowadays
and instead Of jolting along the roads
in farm wagon he now rides In 9
rubber-tired buggy or perhaps even ir
an automobile. Not even the most sen
| timental of souls can surround with 9
halo of tradition farmer who chugi
along in a hlgh-power motor car at the
rate Of perhaps thirty or forty miles
an hour. And so 1t is in many othel
matters. The modern farmer know!
