Giadstone'B Lack of Humor.

1t was universally acknowledged that
Mr.. Gladstone's memory was prodi-
gious, but there was certain lord chief
justice of England who thought the
stateman's memory of his feats of
memory more prodigious still. On one
occasion after listening to what seem
ed to him tall story of some hap
pening of the great mans early years
the lord chief justice determined to go
him one better. So he said that he re-
membered when he was only six
months old, and, lying in his cradle, he
saw his nurse surreptitlously help her.
self to glass Of brandy and said to
himself
"As soon as I can speak shan't I tell
my mother"
1.-THE thing is absolutely impossible"
was Mr.. Gladstones comment in his
gravest tone.
The lord chief justice said afterward
that he had been beaten because lie
had recloned on Mr.. Gladstone having
a CLEAN of humor.
II was mistaken" he said sadly.

Mixed Metaphor.

Mr.. Spurgeon was a keen collector
of mixed metaphors, finding rich
field in the correspondence that daily
overwhelmed him. Two or three are
given in the Cornhill. A lady inclosing
small contribution for his schools
wrote, 81 hope this widows mite may
take root and spread its branches until
it becomes Hercules in your hands,"
The pulpit prayers of ambitious pro-
batloners added something to the great
preachers store. One prayed that
Goods rod and staff may be ours while
tossed on the sea of life, so that we
may fight the good fight Of faith and
in the end soar to rest" Still another
prayed, "Gird up the loins of our
minds, that we may receive the latter
rain" "As If we were barrels whose
hoops were loose" was Mr. Surgeons
laughing comment. = st. James Ga

to raise infected fruit even if there
was no law to prevent its sale. Selling
apples, for instance, at half price would
ruin the fruit grower in the northwest

injured fruit to the minimum and he
will be only too glad to use the means
that will accomplish this end.

The idea that you can make a man
good by laws prohibiting wrong doing
has long been exploded. The word
"penitentiary" means a place of peni-
tence and the word was bestowed on
prisons with the idea that punishment
would lead a man to repentance, but
the good book says that ''the goodness
of God leadeth thee to repentance"
No, punishment may restrain the wrong
doors and may in this way protect So
cety but it will not reform the vicious.
Love and mercy only can reach the
hearts of the vicious class and then
by showing them the better way, they
may be reformed. We have some very
crude ideas among our lawmakers in
the wild and woolly west and it will
of these foolish notions.
f
At the present time there is nothing
new as to the crop prospects. Let no
one imagine that there will be a fail
ure of the fruit crop in the United
States. But there will be a short crop
and prices must rule high. The man
will mo xn ono "
if his fruit is kept clean and is put
on the market in good shape. Those
who will have but a half crop can we'll
afford to take good care of it. Besides
if anyone neglects his orchard the
pests will be much worse next year.
The greatest number of mistakes in
calf feeding are made in changing from
whole to skim milk. Many try to make
up the difference in the quality of the
milk by adding quantity. The quickest
way to upset a calf is to overfeed with
skim milk and try to get it to drink
enough to support several calves. An
other way to upset the calf is to feed
the milk irregularly and to feed it
sweet one day and sour the next. The
skim milk should be sweet and clean
as well as the DuCk6IS VI VESSELS III
which the milk is fed Five pounds
of skim milk fed three times a day is
sufficient if the calf is eating a little
grain with it. Some folks feed only
twice a day after the calf is two or
three weeks old, in which case, fifteen
to eighteen pounds of skim milk, di-
vided into two feeds, is enough and
this will be even too much for some
calves AS the calf grows older the
amount of milk can be judiciously in
creased. In feeding several calves by
hand, stanchions are a necessity. The
calves will soon learn to use them and
when kept there for time after be-
ing fed they will not attain the habit
of sucking each others ears. They
should be fed grain as soon as they
have had the milk. In regard to grain
used there is some latitude. of selec-
ton. Until the calves eat enough to
really help support them, whole oats
are preferable because they help TO
keep the digestive apparatus in good
order. AS soon as they eat any con-
siderable amount whole oats and corn
in equal parts can be used, or ground
oats and corn, or oats and corn meal
or bran and corn.

H. w. Collingwood, the accomplished
editor of the Rural New-Yorker, in a
letter to the editor of this department,
raises an important question as to the
success of our horticultural laws in
the Pacific northwest He says: Il
have thought a good deal about the
tendency of the people on the Pacific
coast to pass compulsory legislation in
regard to the care of orchards or fruits.
I am told that out there you propose
to make people be good, to go into
their orcrards and spray their trees if
they won't do it themselves and charge
it up to them. We wonder, at this end
of the country how it would work with
us. Do you find it a success? On the
whole is it a wise thing to encourage
such forms of legislation? What seems
to be the outcome of it? Is it likely
to lead to stronger and paternal form
of government making the states take
greater charge than ever of such inter-
ests? That is what we are thinking
about a great deal at this end of our
country. and l would like to know what
the outcome seems to be with you.
You have had this compulsory leg1s-
lation in force now for a long time,
and ] would really like to know what
you think of it after this experience.

An answer was sent to friend Col
lingwood by mail, and 1 now publish
this part of his letter that the readers
of The Ranch may know how our east
ern fruit growers and editors look upon
this subject, I think there is no ques-
ton but different answers would be
given by the fruit growers in the Pa
cific northwest in answering this ques-
ton as to the results Of this rigid leg1s-
Iation. Personally l have believed that
a campaign of education is worth vastly
more in dealing with fruit pests ana
diseases than our laws and l have said
so in public addresses and through the
columns of The Ranch. The 1ntelE-
gent, up-to-date fruit grower needs no
law to compel him to spray and do
anything he can to control the pests
and the man who will not spray till he
is compelled to by the lash of the law
will not hall 90 MS WOrh anu INC iO-
suit will be failure.
&
believe that the careful inspection
of nursery stock and scions shipped
into the state is beneficial for most OF
the worst pests are introduced through
these channels. But this work is only
partially successful. Pests are gaining
foothold in the northwest notwithstand-
ing our rigid laws When l came to
Washington twenty years ago there
were no pests where I located and II
there were any in other parts OF the
state they were not serious. But now
we have the cooling moth, the San Jose
scale, the woolly aphis, the apple scap'
the black spot canker, the peach tWlg
borer and many other pests and they are
here to stay. They have spread into
all sections congenial to their develop
ment Notwithstanding our laws. So far
as the spreading of these pests are
concerned our laws are absolutely fall
ures. AS Prof. L. H. Bailey, whom l
quoted in these columns recently, says

Mr.. H. Steinkenper, of Georgetown,
Wash, sends in what he calls a weed
and says it is all over the country and
wants to know how to get rid of it.
The so-called weed is a species of the
fern family and grows abundantly
where the ground is rather wet. Such
ground should be well drained and
then by thorough cultivation the weed
will disappear. Weeds are often
blessing in disguise for in cultivating
the soil to get rid of them we do our
crops a vast amount of good aside
from killing weeds. The soil needs air
and by being loosened up it warns up
better, and by cultivation we pulverize
the soil and thus help to release the
plant food and conserve the moisture.
All these good results we get when we
fight the weeds. Another man in east
ern Washington wants to know how
to get rid of rushes. Pursue the course
recommended above for killing the
ferns. BY thorough drainage and Gull
tivation he will not only get the con-
troll of the rushes but will secure good
crops.

Postal Savings Banks.

In the AgrlCultur1St OF November
9TH, we advocated a system OF postal
savings banks, as proposed by the
Postmaster General, and since we have
seen the effects Of the recent financial
furry we believe that it would be Of
much more general benefit than we
recognized at that time. What an ad-
vantage it would be to have an alb
solutely safe bank OF deposit at your
door. If you receive few more dol
lars from some sale than you like to
keep III the house, if we had a postal
savings bank system, you could deposit
1t with the nearest postmaster and it
would be absolutely safe, and payable
on demand Do you not recognize
the great convenience that this would
be? You will find an article on the
subject elsewhere this week, in which
the editor calls upon the farmers to
help on the work by writing to the
congressman from their district and
the senators from their state That
means you as we'll, and as much as any
one else. You are responsible for
your share of the work, and if you
