Uses to surpass anything of the kind
ever attempted on the Pacific coast. If
it accomplishes its high purpose 1t will
have to effort some," as the recent
magazine number issued by the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer was a beautiful pro-
duct of the printers art, and that i'm
mediately following, by the Wenatchee
Republic, was a still more beautiful
one. But the promise is made by Leon
ard Fowler, publisher of the last men
toned, who has been engaged by The
Ranch management to engineer its
most difficult task, and Fowler's artistic
ability keeps right on growing.
In addition to the many beautiful
halftone illustrations promised, the
prospectus also promises "some of the
most valuable papers ever written on
topics Of real heart interest to the men
who are developing the great northwest"
The prospectus also says: "a cover in
fourteen colors, a beautiful work OF
art, will grace the publication, which is
to be sent free to every paid In ad-
vance" subscriber to The Ranch"

States from Italy and other countries,
and more than 100000 pounds manu-
featured here were sold under spurious
and misleading foreign labels. While
the local manufacturers believe that the
imported article can be eliminated en-
tirely from the domestic market, and
are making their business arrangements
on that assumption, they are gratiied
by the clause in the new national pure
food law which stipulates that domestic
products cannot be sold under for
eign labels. The consumption of maca-
roni and similar products in the United
States is increasing at a remarkable
rate and a fairly correct estimate for
1907 would not fall far short Of 100,-
O00, 900 pounds The industry is largely
centered in Greater New York, although
New Orleans, Boston, st. Louis and Chi
cago also manufacture the glutenous
product in large quantities.

A QUESTION ON FENCES.

subscriber at Hobart, Wash, writes:
"a owns 40 acres adjoining my land on
the south, also on the east side. Mine
contains 100 acres in an L shape. This
land was all in timber some nine or ten
years ago. A. cleared the northeast
corner Of his land and planted an or
chard, built fence about 40 rods along
the division line between his land and
mine, built the fence 1920 feet from his
northwest corner post, according to our
recent measure. The whole half mile
is only $3.50 feet from one corner post
to the other. Some time ago we agreed
to measure the land and build division
fences on both sides, each Of us to
build one-half Of the fence. On the
south side A. built the west half; 1
built the other half of it. On the east
side we staked it 2175 feet from center
to each corner post. This left As
fence As feet on my side. 1 have built
40 rods on the south end on the east
side Now, A. refuses to move his old
fence on the line we measured, although
he agreed to do SO when we measured
it. Can I compel him to do so? Kindly
advise me-"
The question was submitted to j. Y.
C. Kellogg, editor Of the legal depart
ment Of The Ranch, who answers as
follows: stripped of all technicalities,
I understand that your neighbor built
his Tense on your property, having
made an error in measurement. under
stand that at a later date you and ne
cot together and decided upon the true
line and agreed to build fence along
said line, each to build half 1 under
stand you have built your part OF the
fence. but that he has neglected to build
his part, as we'll as to remove the old
part improperly built on your property.
ITO answer your question in SEN
tence, you cannot force your neighbor
to build the fence. You can, however,
remove the old fence yourself, and 1t
is advisable that you do so at once, thus
preventing him from asserting a claim
to the portion of your property on his
side of the fence at any time in the
future.
eff the completion of the fence along
the correct line is Of any actual value
to your property you can build the bal
ance of the fence yourself and bring
an action against your neighbor for the
actual cost thereof. Any recovery
would be based on your ability to show
the court that you suffered actual dam
ages in dollars and cents by reason of
the neglect of your neighbor to build
his portion Of the fence as agreed upon"

The agitation for the establishment

The agitation for the establishment
of rural Libraries for the use of the
agricultural community is rapidly
spreading in most of the states of the
middle west. Those who live in cities
have hitherto possessed a very great
advantage over those living in the coun-

1t is claimed that this condition could
be changed by the establishment of

COST OF HAULING THE PRODUCTS

One of the recent bulletins issued by
the department Of agriculture treats OF
the problem of farmers getting their
product to a shipping point, or rather
of the cost of getting 1t there. BY
some process Of figuration the depart
ment has arrived at the conclusion that
the average distance wheat is hauled,
from the farm to the place of ship
ment is "a miles, and the average cost
of hauling that distance Is cents per
100 pounds The world is not enltght-
ened as to the process by which the
department reached these two averages,
and it must be taken as very important
that the distance Is figured out even to
a decimal IF that distance had been
nine and a half miles, instead or nine
and one-tenth miles, what a vast add1-
tional expense would be entailed on the
farmers of the country, taking into
consideration the many millions or
bushels that are annually hauled from
farm to shipping point! We are not
told whether the question Of good or
bad roads, or hill or valley highways
was considered in arriving at the COST
but farmers ought to be delighted TO
know that it costs them nine cents Tor
every hundred pounds Of wheat they
haul to market, no matter what Is the
condition of the roads. The agricultural
department has extended its inquiries
and its mathematical calculations, ana
we are told that the average load OF
wheat thus hauled from farm to snip
ment is Just 1928 pounds, neither more
nor less. Two pounds might have been
added to. the load for the convenience
of the arithmetician, but the depart
ment takes no thought of the labor 1t
imposes on it's calculators.
The department has not stopped at
wheat That great cereal has little
the best Of it, both as to distance and
cost. Cotton has to be hauled 1l.o
miles, and it costs 16 cents per hum
dred pounds to get it that distance But
then there is wool. The wool clip we
are assured has to be hauled, on the
average. 1913 miles and the cost is "A
cents per 100 pounds. 1t will be noted
that the distance is always given In
decimals. Hemp is the banner crop.
The cultivator of hemp can get his prod
uct to market by hauling 1t only 5.2
miles. and at a cost Of only cents
per hundred pounds. But he can get,
according to the agricultural depart
ment, 1898 pounds on his wagon, while
Of wheat he can only get 1928 pounds
1t would be profitable to know why
wagon can hold, and a pair Of horses
draw. a greater weight Of hemp than
of wheat.
Our farmers who read this remark
able bulletin of the department will,
no doubt wonder what good he can get
from the figures. 1t will not shorten
the distance he has to haul a fraction
of a tenth of a mile, nor will it help
him to raise a fraction of a bushel
more to the acre. About the only les
son he can draw is to stop raising
wool, cotton and wheat, and apply him
self to the work of cultivating hemp.

The farm still overshadows the mill,
the factory and the workshop in pro-
viding exports. For the fiscal year end
Ing June 80, 1906, the surplus exported
amounted in value to $976,000,0 900, the
largest ever reached by agricultural ex-
ports for this or any other country, and
exceeding the export value of 1901, pre-
