About Town.

By the acton of the conference at Malvern, The News loses two of it's carrier boys and we regret it exceeding. w. R. Jr. and Ken- nth Harrison have served us faith fully, and the latter has the dis tinction of never having a com plaint made against him. w. R. would undoubtedly have made as good a record but for his unfam- iliarity with the part of town he delivered in. We want two boys to take thelr places.
 It IS common occurrence to hear women scolded for persist ing in wearing peek boo waists at this late season. It happens almost in every home. A few mornings since when the wealth CT was crisp and chilly, at a place where people are separated from their money by a boarding sys- tenn, a man and his wife entered the dining-roOm and this conver- sation followed:
 My! isn't it chilly" quoth the better half. I'm almost froze. ''
 The husband gazed at the barred arms and neck and satirically replied:
 Clothes are good for that feel ing. Did you ever try them?" Then as his indignation grew deeper he added: No wonder you're cold;you haven 'tgotenough on to make mosquito a wrest- ling jacket"
 Two young men who were breakfasting near by enjoyed the Hu uillOI OI UIlt SlUudtlOl lilll1cuSe- ly, but after the last remark they dared not look to see how the wife was attired.
 Only IS days until Christmas Mr. Merchant get an ad ready for The News tommorrow.
 Some folks yesterday actually had the nerve to question the correctness of The News report of the conference appointments, because they were secured SC quickly. Someof these days every body is going to learn that when The News prints thing it's just that way.

One Method of Intensive Farming.

Editor The Ranch: I was permit
ted last week to spend a little time
with one of the successful farmers OF
this region. He is dairyman doing
a neat little business. mot how much,
but how good, seems to be his motto.
was much surprised to find that he
cultivated only three acres of land
and does not produce very satisfactory
crops on that. The land has been
heavily MANFRED and seems actually
too rich to produce we'll 1t occurred
to me that most likely this three acres
had too much nitrogen, it being COM
paratively new land and heavily coat
ed with manure from animals well fed
on heterogeneous food. If so | imagine
an application of potash, either in the
form of wood ashes, if available, or
of the muriate of potash, if the ashes
are not obtainable, would enable this
land to produce great crops of valu-
able feed. Has anyone tried this
under similar conditions?
My friend has been making some
calculations that occurred to me also:
That if forage costs approximately
$40 per ton, even if it does cost $100
per acre to clear land it would not
take that land long to produce five
tons of good forage that would repay
the cost of clearing and leave the
cleared acre a permanent addition to
the value and productive power of

that they did not take sufficient inter
est in exhibiting their products and
stock to bring them in. If they had
the interests of the county in which
they live at heart they would have had
something on exhibition. Those who
failed to lend a helping hand when
they could deserve nothing but criti-
ciSm.
While the fruit and vegetable de-
partmentS were not so very large as
might have been wished, still there
was a good sized and very creditable
exhibition of these products. There
were some extra fine plates of apples
and other fruits, and one apple weigh
ing % ounces and some potatoes
weighing from one-half to three and
a half pounds. The cattle and horse
displays were rather small, although
some very good specimens were there.
The awards in each department were
printed in the daily papers.
The poultry display was not so large
as at some former fairs, still it was
a good sized show, and the quality in
each class was of the best, there being
some extra fine specimens worthy of
being exhibited at the state fair. They
would have had good show of win
ming some honors there. The writer,
owner of the Bellingham Bay Poultry
yards acted as judge.
Yours truly,
o. L. GEESE.

the farm. He expects to do lot of
clearing this winter. 1t seems to me
that the summer silo would be most
useful here; also that fall sown crop
of wheat, rye or crimson clover could
be used for the early filling and fed
to great advantage during the sum-
mer drouth, while the same land could
be put in corn, sorghum or some other
good forage crop best suited to the
soil and climate for autumn filling to
feed during the winter. Perhaps this
is being done now by some of our
farmers?
I don't fancy the milk peddling bust
ness. 1t probably pays better in ready
cash than any other line of agricul-
tural activity, and is very necessary
to the city folks, but it does not repre-
sent my ideal of farm life by any
means. I would much prefer to sepa-
rate the cream and make butter, feed
the skim milk to calves, pigs and
chickens Go to town once a week
with butter, eggs, poultry, etc., in
stead of going every day. This would
permit some home life; would provide
employment for all the family; would
make it possible to live well without
buying much, and would, if well man
aged, provide liberal surplus.
firmly believe that with good manage
ment of young stock and all the other
sources of income, such method will
give as large net returns in period

Whatcom County Grange Fair.
Editor The Ranch The Whatcom
County Grange fair just held at Bel
lingham was not an extra success
financially, as the rainy weather of
the past few days cut the receipts
down some and the public did not
turn out to patronize it as they should
have done. The farmers deserve great
credit for the showing they made.
The creditable display by those who
did bring in something to show was
surely worthy of care and attention.
Many a farmer had equally as good
products and some had fine individuals
in the stock line, but did not bring
them in for exhibition. 1t is shame

The Sun, the Moon and the Tides

Most persons suppose that the moon
alone is responsible for the phenome-
non Of tides, but the attraction of the
sun Is also an important factor. OF
course the distance Of the sun from the
earth is unthinkably greater than that
Of the moon, but its mass Is so enor-
nous that it has considerable tide pro-
ducing influence. The force which the
sun exerts is the same on both sides of
the earth at the same time, the tide
producing force Of the great orb being
about fOur-tenths that of the moon. At
the time Of both new and full moons
the "wane spheroids produced by both
the sun and the moon have their axes
coincident"-that Is to say, the two
great orbs unite their energies on the
fluids Of our planet, and as a result the
tides are higher than the average for
the remaining portions of the month.
These are the "spring tides" The
"neap tides" come in the time of the
moons first and third quarter and are
not as great as the average, because
the moon and the sun are each working
in opposition to the other.

The Ambitious Boy.

A boy at seventeen can practically
determine for himself whether he will
be simple burden bearer for others
as long as he lives, a leech on society
or whether he will be broadminded,
useful and successful man. If the
boy at this age has no ambition to be
anybody and is content to simply let
things flicker and take his chance with
others just like him, frittering away
his opportunities to acquire knowledge
and caring only for the trivialities of
life, he can make up his mind to carry
q bod, ride the brake beam Of freight
car or dodge the police as long as he
lives, or he can resolve to be a man
In the highest sense, seek every means
for physical, mental and moral growth
and development and must graduate
into the ever widening field Of utility
and success. It matters little what
his boyhood environment may be, if he
but has the ambition and we'll ground.

The Raven.

Many birds seek the protection which
the presence Of man affords against
furred and feathered foes when the
breeding season approaches. Not SO
the raven. Its distrust Of us is pro-
found, and its nest is placed in some
wild spot far out of reach Of our pos
sible attack or succor. But there are
other enemies. I know of a pair that
built on the side of Il projecting crag
high up on the cliffs of Rathline island.
Some fierce peregrine falcons occupied
the other side of the crag and when
one day their eggs were taken by an
adventurous collector they, sharing the
popular opinion of ravens blackness,
concluded that their neighbOrs were
the offenders and wreaked their grief
and vengeance upon them. When, on
their return from a foraging expedi-
ton, the falcons found their nest de-
spoiled they were seen to hold a con-
sultation, and after much deliberation
they suddenly arose and both in one
accord flew at the ravens nest and
sacked it, tearing it in their rage and
indignation until not one stick was left
upon anOther.-London Standard.

Cinderella.

It was in ancient Egypt that the story
Of Cinderella originated. Moderns,
however, owe the familiar nursery
story directly to the Frenchman,
Charles Perrault, whose "Cindrillon''
appeared at the end of the seventeenth
century. Perrault took his Cinderella
from earlier versions, which came no
doubt from the story Of Rhodopis' bath.

battle when an eagle swooped on one
Of her slippers, carried it to Memphis
and dropped it on the lap of King
Psammetichus as he sat administering
