There is comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-ROOt
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

quently found which were lower or
higher in gluten than the average Of
the other varieties. For example, one
sample of bluestem showed a lower per-
centage of gluten than the average for
red Russian, and one sample of red
Russian gave more gluten than the av-
erage of fife, forty-told or club. In gen
eral, the variations in the quality of the
samples of a given variety Of wheat
were found 10 be due to differences in
climate where the wheat was grown,
the drier and hotter the weather during
the period of ripening of the grain the
richer the grain in those ingredients
which yield gluten in the -four. 1t is
probable that the grain of 1906 will
show still greater variations because of
the unequal effects of the hot weather
in July.

The congressman who voted for the
sO-called free alcohol bill, says the
Walla Wala Bulletin did not intend
that it should be converted, by the
manlpulatlons of the internal revenue
bureau, into gold brick for the farm
ers. They thought they We're bestow
ing boon, benificence of which would
be felt on every farmstead. But some
flaws were left in the bill which have
enabled the internal revenue Office,
which actively opposed its passage, to
rob it of every cent of value as pro-
viding cheap material for power,
light and fuel. The lowest cost at
which it can be furnished under these
manipulations, is IS cents per gallon.
This makes it impossible for use in
competition with gasoline, coal oil and
other fuels and illuminants. The only
beneficiaries of the bill are manufac-
turers, who were previously handi-
capped in competition with their Eu-
ropean rivals by the So. Is tax.
The chief tools used by the internal
revenue officials in cheating the farm
ers out of their benefits expected from
the law have been the requirement of
the use of large percentage of wood
alohOl as denaturizer, the requirement
ofa separate inspector for every dis
tilling plant, and the limitation of the
privilege of manufacture to distilleres
having capacity Of not less than 500
gallons of alcohol day This last rule
makes impossible the manufacture of
alcohol even by small groups of farm
ers cooperating together, as in the
case of cooperative creameries.
Everyone of these requirements is
shown by the experience of Germany
and Cuba to be wholly unnecessary.
In Cuba thu alcohol is denaturized with
a mixture, recommended by the Acad-
emy of Science. composed of "naptha-
line and (formicaD aldehydro, used at

WHEAT TESTS AT STATE COLLEGE.
Percentage Of Gluten in Different
Varieties BlueStem Leads as
a Breadmaker.

Pullman, Nov. 1O.-The State Ex-
pertinent Station here last year COM
menced thorough study of Washing
ton wheats and wheat production, in
Guiding study of the milling values of
the wheats as they are now grown.
Samples were collected representing as
completely as possible all the varieties
now being grown in the state and each
of the wheat-producine sections. In
all total of 36 samples We're collected,
comprising 10 different varieties and
coming from 25 different shipping
points. Each of these samples was ana
lyzed; part of it was then milled in
an experimental roller mill and the
percentage yield of flour, bran and
shorts determined; next the amount of
moist and dry glue which the flour
would yield was ascertained; sponge
and baking tests were made on 30 of
the samples of flour, representing the
best, medium and poorest fours of
each of the six varieties of grain, and
finally the feeding value of the bran
and shorts from each of the 36 sam
Piles of grain was estimated.
The amount of moist gluten which n
flour will yield is commonly accertcd as
the best measure of the value of any
wheat for milling purposes. Other
things, such as the quality of the gluten.
the color of the flour, the ability of the
flour to absorb and hold the proper
amount of moisture in baking, etc, are
to be considered in judging the quality
of the wheat. But generally those
wheats which produce Strong flour,
i. e., -four which contains comparatively
large amounts of gluten-producing in
gradients are apt to be good in other
qualities, or can be easily improved in
these by blending with other wheats in
milling. Hence high gluten percent
age is the first thing to be desired in a
good milling wheat.
The results of the gluten tests on the
1905 samples of wheat were as follows,

fighting the COddiing Moth.

For number of years the state cXper-
iment station at Pullman has given
attention to the coddiing moth This
insect is responsible for all the wormy
apples of this region, and is accordingly
one of the greatest drains on the profit
of the farmer. Throughout the state
there are apple growers who believe
that the coddling moth cannot be over
come, or thai tc.aio so would be . most
expensive undertaking, 1t was to
convince such people that the fight
against the coddling moth is both easy
and inexpensive that the state expert
ment station has given its attention to
the matter.
During 1903 and 1904 the habit Of
the coddling moth were studied. TO
note the influence of topographic con-
dtions on the life history Of the insect
1t was found throughout nearly every
apple growing district two distinct
broods Of the insects occur each year
In 1905 a practical application Of the
knowledge gained was made by "a treat
ment of 20 acres of commercial orchard
which previously had been unprolitahlc
because Of worms in the fruit This
treatmcnv resulted in Il saving of 90
per cent of the crop, and at less cX-
pense Of spraying that when the or
chard was wormy.
Incidentally, some three dozen spray
ing methods were tested to seek some
thing better than the ordinary paris
green. Arsenate of lead gave great
promise, and during the past summer
has been thoroughly tested in ~ acres
of run down orchard Careful counts
have just been completed, which III "
that -four sprayings of arscnate OF lead
saved 95 per cent Of the crop.
During the last few years, il must
be remembered these same orchards
have been unable to save moro than Z
percent of the crop, although they have
been sprayed.
Some very important conclusions
have been drawn from the study of the
coddling moth. They show that no or
chard has been so badly infested but
that four careful sprayinPs Of arscnato
of lead will give at least - per cent of
clean fruit during the first year Of the
treatment. They show that one pound
of arsenate Of lead to 10 gallons Of
water is the most effective strength
for the spray. They show also that an
orchard surrounded by wormy orchards
can be kept free from worms if only il
be properly sprayed But they show
also that carefullness and thoroughnoss
are essential to success. The full re-
suits of the experiments will soon be
published by the experiment station ii
detail in a bulletin which will be sent
free to anyone on application.

Big Land Sale.

Robert Mason, one of the old pioneers
of this section, this week closed out all
his land and stock interests southwest
of Sprague to Hans Hardy of Wash

$26, 900.
Mr.. Mason is one of the oId-timcrs of
this section, and before he engaged in
the stock and farming business was an
employe of the Northern Pacific in
Sprague's early rainroad days. Him
self and wife left Tuesday for Phoenix,

The North Coast Road.

Those of our readers who live or own
land along the proposed route of the
& North Coast railroad - formerly the
Spokane & Columbia River will be in
terested in the following statement by
Robert +. Strahon, president of the
North Coast Company, which appeared
in the Spokane Chronicle of November
18th, with reference to the rumor that
the North Coast road had been sold to
James j. Hill:
There is not the slightest founda-
ton for the story. We would not sell
the North Coast road to james Hill if
he offered us more than its actual
value The North Coast is not for
sale. "
II have about quit making state
ments for publication, Mr. Strahorn
is quoted as saying at North Yakima,
'but | think owe it to the people of
the Yakima valley to tell them plainly
present time under construction in this
part of the state.
The real and only reason is that we
have been hindered and delayed in
every conceivable way by the Northern
Pacific. II has now become apparent
to us that we must fight for every inch
of the right of way we get through
here against that corporation. 1t has
transportation monopoly in the Yaki-
ma country and proposes to keep it if
possible. We have just begun to rea-
lie this. If we had understood it as
well six months ago as we understand
it now. the North Coast road would
have been built this winter through
this valley.
I'VE supposed that when the North
ern Pacific people understood that we
had the backing to carry out our
scheme and meant business they would
meet Us fairly and make the arrange
mcnts that have to be made about
rights of way. We have right to
come into the Yakima valley, and
while the Northern Pacific may cause
delay and expense, in can not in the
end keep us out. Knowing this, we
supposed the Northern Pacific would
not fail to accord us the treatment we
had a right to expect. When we went
to its representatives we got fair
words and promises. We supposed the
promises would he kept. They have
not been kept For six months we
have been put off on one pretext and
Z another, shunted from one department
to another and given promises which
on one excuse or another were not
kept,
''At last we have gone into court to
get what we ought to have had months
ago, and expect to get without a
clash
THE Northern Pacific is not fighting
us TO keep land which il needs. II is
trying To keep Il competitor out of the
Yakima valley, or, failing in that, to
compel it to build its lines where the
people do not want them or can not
easily reach them to do business.
Eve are now in the fight. and we
will stay in. When it is over we will
go to building railroad. We have the
money at our command, and there is no
possible way for our project to fail.
We may be Il little slow, owing to the
fac' that we have not anticipated some
of our troubles, but we are going to
gel there. We are going to give the
Yakima valley a competitive railroad.
think we have already spent enough
money here to convince the people of
that. and if the signs count for any
thing the Norlhcrn Pacific is satisfied
with our ability to carry out our inten-
tion.

the rate of fifty ccntigrammes per lit
er, and claimed to cost only forty
seven ten thousandths of cent per
gallon of alcohol. The use in the United
States of wood alcohol, controlled
by trust makes the cost of denatur-
izing l-2 cents per gallon.
Congress is sure to have this hlsi-
ness again brought to its attention at
the coming session. Never did an
American executive bureau apparently
so fragrant defeat the manifest inten-
ton of that body as has the internal
revenue bureau defeated, for the time
being. its good intentions toward

Japan's Protest.

Tho Japan, 70 government has filed
protest through it's ambassador at
Washington with the state department
because the san Francisco board Of
education has ruled that the Japanese
children shall be classcd with the Chi
ncsc children and relagnied 10 separ-
ate school specially provided for them.
Japan claims that this is violation of
tho provisions of the treaty with the
United States. lay which they are guar
anteed the same rights and privileges
in this country as are enjoyed by the
people of other countries. They bit
terly resent being classed with the
Chinese. Their war with China a dozen
years ago was, they claim, conclusive
proof to the whole world of their su-
periority as Il race over the Chinese,
and their success in their recent war
with Russia is, to their minds, evidence
that they are in the very vanguard Of
civilization. They are not in mood to
accept the rulings of the San Francisco
board of education, and the president
is wise in taking their protest seriously
for diplomatic reasons if for no other.
He has dispatched to San Francisco to
make personal investigation of the
facts, and, is possible, to find some
way Of removing the grounds for
Japan's grievance, if any exist.
