The editor of the Anacortes
American evidently fails to read
distinction between vanity
and opinion, else he would not
have said "The Echo" does not
believe a country newspaper
should express an opinion. The
spicy mental fodder which the
editor of the American puts in
the rack for his public every
week furnishes much food for
thot. He will surely, tho, make
allowance for the editor of a
country newspaper whose lack
of vanity prompts him to decline
the task of enlightening his

WRIGHT WILL STAY

Call Bureau, Post Building, Washing
ton, Dec. 26.-Rumors here to the ef.
feet that Luke L. Wright OF Tennessee
is soon to retire from the place OF Gov.
ernor General OF the Philippines and
Will be succeeded by James +. Smith
OF California, now a member OF the
Philippines Commission, are denied by
Secretary Taft, who said today that
Governor Wright was expected TO re
turn to the Philippines at the explra.
ton OF his present leave OF absence.
There has been some criticism In
certain circles, both In this country
and in the Philippines of Governor
Wrights administration, but II Is not
believed here that any dissatisfaction
with II has been expressed by either
the President or Secretary Taft. The
latter gives no encouragement 10 the
report that General Smith may ulti
mately succeed Governor Wright.
Some Catholic influences. which are
said TO be hostile to Wright's admins
tratlon, have opposed certain features
OF General Smiths work as chief OF
the Department OF Education in the
Philippines, but these influences have
not made their power felt In Washing
ton, where General Smiths policy IL
highly commended by the officials hay
ing charge OF Philippine affairs.
Apparently, from Secretary Taft's
comment on the current reports re
garding Governor Wlght's retirement

HOG NOTES

Keeping the hog house clean keeps
disease away.
Pure water adds greatly to the
growth and health of hogs.
For brood sows, select only the
thriftiest and best from a drove.
Clover or alfalfa pasture Is a good
thing to tie to in raising pigs. Try it.
Oats make a good feed for fattening
hogs. 1t will balance the ration when
fed with corn.
The annual production of swine in
the United States is estimated at a.
600 900 head.
The ideal SOW for a mother is o
lay: restful and quiet in her DISPOSE
ton, still a good rustler.
Study your conditions and select the
breed that will nearest meet those con-
ditiOns and then stick TO the breed.
Ancestry counts for much in select
ing breeding bOars and sOws. 1ndivid-
uaiity. however. must nOt be lost
sight of.
The banking institution of the farms
of the corn belt is the hog pen. Not d
month of the year PASSES but what it
can be drawn upon.
Don't make the mistake of trying to
carry pigs through the summer on
pasture alone. Give a small ration of
grain daily while grazing.

SUMNER SHADE FOR POULTRY

When poultry are confined during
the summer to yards of varying di-
mansions. there must be q certain
amount of shade provided in order to
keep them in the best condition. The
shade Of a building for a portion of
the day is all right, although the
shade of bushes or trees is more de-
sirable. If the poultry yard is located
where it is not possible to obtain
shade In the manner indicated, it is
, good plan to either train vines over
. portion Of the poultry fence on the
sunny side. In . few weeks this will
be high enough to provide consider
able shade and as it grows. Of course,
will furnish more shade.
II It is possible to locate the poul-
try yard where there are bushes or
trees Of no particular value It will be
q good plan to arrange It in this way.
80 that the fowls may have the bene-
at not only Of the shade, but Of dust
ing In the soil under the trees or
plants.
II q fair amount of shade is provid-
ed during the summer with an abund-
ance of fresh. cool water during the
day. and the fowls allowed to run for
IN hour or two Just before roosting
time, most of the breeds will bear
confinement very well. 1t will be .
little hard on the smaller and more
sctive fowls like the Leghorns. but
the Wyandottes and Plymouth Rocks
will stand the confinement and keep
In good condition.

METEOROLOGICAL
MONEY IN THE r D

The family garden usually pays q
greater profit on the labor bestowed
IN it than any other portion of the
arm. even when managed by the old
fashioned method of small plats and
beds and hand cultivation. This be-
ng the case, it surely ran be made to
ray a much greater ratio of profit by
planning to plant every thing posi-

your " muscles. And the saving in
,ost of civilizations Is only a small
part of the benefit of the long row
arrangement. 1t will naturally lead
to a much more frequent and thorough
cultivation of our garden crops.
Many farmers are prone to neglect the

Another benefit derived from the long

SPROUTS,

In setting arbor vitae for a hedge
let them be small. and set them abOu1
two or three feet apart. Keep then
well headed and trimmed low unit
the bottom is well filed. or they viii
never look well afterward. II kept
free from grass nd occasionally ma
nured there is no reason why they
should not last lifetime.
II you can get your strawberry
plants now. taking them up from the
old beds with a ball of earth. you can
have a good crop next June. for they
will make almost as good a start as
pot-grown ones. OF course. after
they are started much depends upon
the care and nOurishment you give
them.
To prevent the evils Of excessive
pruning. commence when the trees
are young to rub OF superflous buds
and to cut of the small twigs. Con.
stantiA keep the form and growth un-
der control. There will then be no
check to either vigor or f%ruitfulness.
In setting grape vines. dig large
holes and the bottom with old
bones. cast-0f boots and shoes and
leaf mold. These make a store Of
plant food for the vine to draw upon
for . long time.
II the rot is among the tomatoes.
pick every me that shows signs of
the disease and throw them away.
This often arrests the course of the
disease.
So long as the Weather is dry,
leave potatoes in the ground. but dig
them as soon as rains come, to prevent
second growth.
Mulch the young orchard with straw
after having the soil in good condi-
ton. This will protect the roots dur
ing the winter.
II fruit is given special care from
the planting to the gathering and
marketing it always brings the best
price.
Where trees do not make a salts
factory growth 1t denotes lack Of
plant food. or too much water in the
soil.
Don't neglect the young trees this

NOTES.

Prune the orchard now and cut out
useless branches. Leave more limbs
that will give symmetry to the tree.
How is your woodpile. is it low
down? The old dead apple trees cut
up will replenish it. and now is the
time.
The tree that blew over is not
worth pushing mp. for it will blow
over again. Make firewood of it and
plant a new n in its place.
Sweden has a law requiring the
planting Of two trees for every n
cut do,D,. Why wouldn't that be a
good idea in this country?
II the cellar is warm. look out for
rOtting apples. Do not keep the Gel
lar shut up tight. open it a. night
and let in the air. and close it on
warm days in the morning.
Plant memorial trees On the birth
days of your children and they will
always have a monument. OF course
if the birthday comes in midwinter,
better wait until spring to plant.
1t is interesting to note how well
trees remember good are that they
have received the previous season.
Really a large share of the thrift of
a tree depends upon the store Of
nourishment and vitality laid up the
year before.

An abundance Of work and a fam
inc of workmen represent a condition
that is constantly growing more COM
mon in America. The greatest trouble
is the dearth Of farm hands, as shown
by the report of the states free public
employment Office in this city. Men
absolutely refuse to leave the cities for
the fields. But the problem is not
confined to the country. In the cities
there is work a-plenty and a dearth
of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not a
notable increase in the number of
Migrants and b le-bodied paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fact that prosperity and thrift
have depleted the ranks Of common
.aborers. leading them to seek better
things in life.
