him the story Of the nihilist, saying
she Intended to purchase the yacht and
outlining what she proposed to do with
it when it was her own. Now she sat
silent opposite the genial captain, while
Katherine stood by the window and
talked enough for two, sometimes wax
Ing indignant and occasionally giving
In terse language an opinion of her
father. as is the blessed privilege OF
every girl born In the land Of the free,
while the father took the censure with
the unprotesting mildness Of his ma
ture.
MY dear girls, you really must listen
to reason. What you propose to do is SO
absurd that it doesn't even admit of
argument. Why, it's filibustering
expedition, that's what it is. You
girls are as crazy as Walker Of Mica
ragua. Do you imagine that retired
captain Of the United States navy is
going to take command of a pirate
craft Of far less legal standing than
the Alabama, for then we were at war,
but now we are at peace. Do you ac-
tually propose to attack the domain of
friendly country? Ohv' cried the
captain, with a mighty explosion OF
breath, for at this point his supply OF
language entirely gave out.
mo one would know anything about
it, persisted Katherine.

of men picked up here in New York
and coming back to New York? Not

It contained merely the two notes
which Lermontoff had written to
Drummond and to the czar.

THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

For the benefit of those of our read
ers who may not have a spraying cal
endar at hand we will give the recipe
for the bordeaux mixture which we
are using in our spraying operations
this year. Dissolve four pounds Of
copper sulphate by suspending it in
wooden vessel containing four or five
gallons of water. Hot water is prefer
able if one is in hurry. Stake the
lime in another vessel This Ehould
be done slowly; otherwise it is likely
i be lumpy. After it has cooled pour
he copper sulphate solution into bar
rel and half fill with water. Add five
pounds of the lime and fill vita water
so as to make about fifty gallons In
all. If spraying is to be done on
large scale, it is well to have stock
solutions of both the sulphate and
lime. The lime should not be added
to the sulphate solution until ready to
use. The solution should be strained
through a gunny sack or thirty mesh
brass strainer before it is put into the
spray tank. To ascertain if sufficient
lime has been added TO neutrailze Lne
sulphate place a small quantity of the
bordeaux mixture in a saucer and add
two or three drops of prussiate of pot
ash "a deadly poison. If this changes
the bordeaux mixture to reddish
brown color, there is not enough lime
present, and more imewater should
be added until no reddish precipitate
results. In case it is desired to use an
arsenate at the same spraying a pound
of paris green may be added to every
$50 gallons of water. This should be
thoroughly mixed with water in a
small can and the humps removed be
fore it is added to the tank. All dur
ing the spraying operation the liquid
in the tank should be kept thoroughly
stirred, as the paris green is heavy
and settles to the bottom.

CHAPTER XIV.

INTER- the captain left him Ler-
m montoff closed and bolted the
HI door, then sat down upon the
edge of his bed to mediate up
on the situation. He heard distant
bells ringing on shore somewhere and,
looking at his watch, saw it was just
IL O'Clock. 1t seemed incredible that
three-quarters of an hour previously
he had left the hospitable doors Of a
friend and now was churning his way
In an unknown steamer to an unknown
destination. 1t appeared impossible
that so much could have happened in
forty-fiYe minutes. He wondered what
Drummond was doing and what ac-
ton he would take when he found his
friend missing.
However, bordering over the matter
brought no solution of the mystery, so,
being a practical young man, he cast
the subject from his mind, picked up
his heavy overcoat, which he had
flung on the bed, and hung 1t up on
the hook attached to the door. AS he
did this his Land came In contact with
a tube in one of the pockets. and for
a moment he imagined it was his re-
volver, but be found it was the metal
syringe he had purchased that evening
from the chemist. This set his
thoughts whirling In another direction.
He took from an inside pocket one Of
the bottles of ozak, examining it I'M
der the candle light, wishing he had a
piece of rock with which to expert
ment. Then with yawn he replaced
the materials in his overcoat pocket,
took of his boots and threw himself
on the bed, thankful it was not an or
binary shelf bunk, but generous and
comfortable resting place. Now Kath-
crime appeared before his closed eyes,
and hand in hand they wandered into
dreamland together.
When he awoke, it was pitch dark in
his cabin. The candles, which he had
neglected to extinguish. had burned
themselves out. The short, jerky mo-
ton of the steamer Indicated that he
was aboard a small vessel and that
this small vessel was out in the open
sea. He believed that noise of some
kind had awakened him, and this was
confirmed by a knock at his door which
caused him to spring up and throw
back the bolt. The steward was there,
but in the dim light Of the passage he
saw nothing Of the sentinel. He knew
It was daylight outside.
'sThe captain, excellency, wishes to
know If you will breakfast with him
or take your meal in your ROOM"

tain and say shall have great pleas

hour, excellency."

The. prince washed himself, smooth
cd out his rumpled clothes as well as
be could and put on his boots. While

deep dispieasure cIouding his brow,

pressed willingness to come to this
territory, if the possibilities of potato
growing can be shown to be sufficient
ly attractive. Such industries will
place immense quantities of denatured
alcohol on the market, which will COM
pete with kerosene and gasoline, and
other petroleum compounds for heat

other purposes for which petroleum

The wood alcohol industry may in

make potato growing one of the most
profitable of the farm industries.

warehouse, $500; stable, 800; horse
and wagon, $275. They have a free
delivery system covering a radius of
about five miles of the store.
Mr.. B. S. Law, the manager, has
perfected a system of handling the
produce of members which The Ranch
has always advocated as the correct
principal to work. He keeps a good
account of what the members have
on hand for sale and what crops they
have in, when they will be ready for
market, and in what quantity. Tele-
phone systems throughout the terri
tory render valuable aid in making it
possible for the manager to keep in
close touch with his patrons and adj
wise them when to bring in certain
produce to secure the best market
and prices.
This store, after year and a half
of business, bids fair to become a
great success if they continue to con-
duct their business along present
lines.
A. B. Winter, one of the regular ad-
vertisers in The Ranch, of Duroc-Jer-

raises large quantity of raspberries
for the market and other fruits
but pays especial attention to the

stock, the heard being headed by Top

Notes by the Field Editor.

The cooperative store is the dream
of many, and communities have tried
the experiment in almost every part
of the world, but it is true that in the
Pacific Northwest the success of the
venture has been Indifferent.
The writer has looked up these
stores and talked with people in the
sections where they have been tried
and failed, and finds from this obser-
walton that the cooperative store can
be made a success, but where failure
has resulted the cause is nearly al
ways in not securing a competent
manager and the stockholders living
up to his instructions regarding the
methods of conducting the business.
One of these successful stores is be-
ing conducted at Granite Falls, Wash
The Granite Falls Cooperative Union
was organized January 1, 1905, and
started cooperative store April LIST
of the same year. This organization
is incorporated for $4,000 and Of this
amount $3.50 has been taken by
about eighty subscribers in the vicin-
ity In addition to this they have a
borrowed working capital of $4,000

as possible, in order to give the peo-
pie of the north the best and the
latest produce. Mr.. Powles recently
returned from a trip to the Wenatchee
valley, where, he states, he found crop
conditions excellent. He looks for
a good apple crop.
j. Manning, Hoods Canal fruit
grower, was on Western avenue Sat
urday, July 20, 1907, interviewing COM
mission men in regard to some heavy
future shipments which he expects to
make on apples. Mr. Manning talked
for some time to representative of
The Ranch, and in the course of con-
versation he brought up the fact that
the crop of apples in his district is a
record one Mr. Manning says that
the Commission Row dealers always
treat him well and always treat his
neighbors well. He has never heard
any complaint against them, and he
can not understand the charges of the
farmers of the White River valley
In fact, he believes it is inspired from
selfish sources. He can see no other
reason far it.

treatment they are receiving at the
hands of the agents of the various
fruit growers associations. Some of
these firms do as large a business as
any in the Pacific northwest. They
are in touch with profitable markets
and are willing to pay good prices for
everything they buy One dealer in
particular stated that he recently re-
ceived some very heavy orders from
the north and wrote to five or six
fruit growers associations to name
prices on certain amounts of produce
He has only been able to get price
from one association. The others have
ignored his requests, preferring evil
IDENTIFY to send all their goods to mar
ket to be sold on consignment. Just
why they have this preference is not
comprehensive. They probably think
that they will get better prices if they
sell on consignment. Or, perhaps, on
the other hand, they are not well
enough acquainted with market con-
ditions to take a chance on naming
a net price to the dealer. If this is
true, the associations are making
mistake in keeping such agents or
managers, because in many instances
bucS0 SIOWSIS WOulu ISCSlN0
better prices and take much less risk
by selling their goods outright to the
dealer who already has market for
them. The men who are running the
affairs of these associations should
be in touch with market conditions
and market prices and should be in
position, when the occasion arises,
to take advantage Of a good offer.
The dealer who buys and sells is in
as good position to pay the grower
good prices for fruit as the commits
sion merchant is to get such prices
when he sells on consignment. The
associations should not become too
prejudiced in any instance not to
look after their own welfare.
J. B. Powles states that there is
a splendid business with Alaska this
year and that many large orders will
be filled within the next week or two.
The last shipment to Fairbanks and
the Tanana will be sent on or before
August 26, as steamers leaving later
than that are likely to find the river
closed with ice and impossible. All
the up-river Alaska shipments will
leave before September LIST. Of course,
these shipments are delayed as long

Takinu Care of Cream.

Mr.. Johnston, butter maker for John
3. Agen, the big creamery man of
Seattle, states that considerable cream
is received by them from time to time
which bears unmistakable signs of
not having been properly cared for
Going more into detail, Mr.. Johnston
said: 81 wish every farmer could
understand how much money he will
lose if he does not give his cream the
proper care.
Cream should be skinned at night
and permitted to cool owe, night; in
no instance should warm CT cam be
mixed with cream which has been
standing for IL to "a hours, 1t should
be allowed to cool in receptacle by
itself over night. In the morning, it
can be poured into the shipping can
with other cream which may be in
there.
"Then cream which is being saved
for shipment, should be thoroughly
stirred night and morning. This action
keeps the proper mixture of the fresh
and older cream at all times and in
sures, not only larger test, but a
great deal better grade of butter
