roughage ration OF corn fodder, and
wild hay will produce handsome re-
suits if the COW is made comfortable
and is kindly treated. The grain ra-
| tion should be given in the proportion
of one pound of ground feed to every
three pounds of milk produced by
the cow. If she gives twenty five
pounds Of milk in day she should
have about eight pounds of the grain
ration, and If she gives thirty pounds
of milk she should get ten pounds of
feed, five pounds in the morning and
| five pounds in the evening.
While ensilage is the cheapest and
best rough feed, a good substitute is
found in well cured corn fodder and
this can be secured by every farmer.
When clover hay is available the
grain ration can be reduced as clover
hay contains a better proportion of
the nutrients necessary for milk pro-
duction than any other rough feed.
"It can be readily understood, then
that tits not absolutely necessary to
feed cows on highly concentrated
foods in order to get satisfactory re-
suits.

the same cow, uncomfortable and
roughly treated, on the best balanced
ration possible.
"The only conclusion to draw from
| this is that the experimental station
has nothing important to offer the
cow that can not be offered her on
the farm, providing her owner is dis
posed to give it to her."

A Wild Metaphor,

The mixed metaphor has for years
been considered what is technically
known as a peach, but long ago an en-
bryo Henry Clay, a contestant for
oratorical honors In the University of
Michigan, sprung one so much more
rapid in the metaphor race than its
rivals that 1t may be said to win in a
walk. Rising up on his tiptoes and
swelling out his chest like a pouter
pigeon, the young orator exclaimed as
though he would his words might go
a-thundering down the ages, ''The star
Of empire, tripping with light foot
steps across the Atlantic, poises on
her outspread pinions in the air and
then pitches-and let US hope it may be
forever-her tent above. the dome of
the capitol at Washington.

SCARCITY WILL SOON BECOME
WORLD WIDE.
Deplorable Results of Private Own
ersllip i'm this Country and in
France-The Country that Does
MT Grow it's Own Timber SoOE
Will Go Without.

A United States consular report
from Paris paints a discouraging
picture of privately owned forest
land in France, and shows that causes
are operating there similar to those
which are producing deplorable re-
suits in our own country, says a
Washington dispatch to the Pioneer
Press.
Forest lands owned and admins
tered by the French government are
well guarded and taken care of, bu
that can not be said of some of the
large tracts owned by companies and
individuals who are only for i'm
mediate profit and take little thought
for the future.
It has been the custom to point to
France as one of the countries where
the practice of forestry has produced
it's best results. This is true regard
ing land under national foreat ad-
ministration. Tt appears, however,
that outside of the holdings of the
government, departments, and COM
muues, the prevailing conditions are
not much better than in some of this
country's timber regions where opera
tors so often skin the land and leave
it prey to fire and food,
Gaui Has to Import Oak.
After stating that more than three
fourths of frances forest area is pri-
vately owned, Mr.. Milton B. Kirk,
who writes the report says:

lators who, after cutting Off the trees

regardless of size, sell the land for
grazing. Due to this, resinous trees
are fast disappearing, the ash and the
acacia can scarcely be found, the pop
lar is becoming rare, and the chestnuts
of the mountains have nearly disap-
peared. Gaul, once the home Of the
great oak forests, now has to seek
other countries to furnish the necess-
ary supply of oak.'
Although America is only hundreds
of years old where France is thousands
similar results already are to be seen
here. Not long ago white pine forests
extended from the head of the Miss
issippi to the head of the Susquehan-
ma, covering an area larger than the
whole of France. At the present time
only detached fragments remain. The
spruce and the hemlock are following
the same way. The yellow poplar,
one of the finest American trees, and
the hickory, one of the. toughest and
most useful, now often are sought in
vain where they once grew in album
dance. Cedar, the ideal wood for lead
pencils, was plentiful not long ago,
but now is so scarce that it is bought
by the pound. The oak, though not
yet as scarce here as in France, is
rapidly disappearing.
Cut Regardless of Size.
The cause which is producing these
results is the same in France as in
America, s'cutting off the trees re-
gardless of size" Experience has de-
monstrated that forest preservation
has not been much helped by private
ownership of timberland. either in
France or in this country, Immediate
profit to the individual, both here
and there, is too apt to result in per-
manent loss to the whole people.
One-ninth of frances area is forest,
of which the government owns and
administers one-eighth only, or about
2,707 900 acres. One-third of the Uni
ted States is classed as forest land ,and
the forest service is administering
less than one fourth of it, or 1853, 900, :
900 acres. Some 500, 100000 acres are
privately owned. A considerable por-
ton of the land in this country, class
ed as forest, has but little merchant
able timber. It has been cut or burned.
The government is preserving and
foresting, but private owners are not,
as rule. They are following the ex-
ample of the timber owners IN France

go to pasture, or to waste.
France is paying the penalty now,
The foresters say United States will
pay ii later. Speaking along this. Mr..
Kirk says in his report:
France paws over $14, ,OoO, 900 an
nually to foreign countries for the
privilege of building her homes.' This
is for pine wood imported, principally
from Norway, Sweden, Russia, AUS
tria, and Roumania. 1t does not re-
present one-half of the total cost of
imported lumber.
To Be Scarce World Over.
1t is fortunate for France, and for
all countries which do not grow their
own timber, that there are countries
which still have lumber for sale. But
in a short time this supply will fail.
No country will have any to spare in
a few years. The reserve supply of
the whole world, the accumulated
growth of past centuries in remote
districts, is being rapidly drawn upon.
After a few years. few generations
at most-the available supply will be
only what the worlds forests viii be
able to grow from year to year. Pro-
duction and harvest must balance in
the lumber market as in the grain
supply.
Trees do not grow in q year like
wheat, and careful plans and long look
ahead are necessary. Unfortunately,
the individual has not yet made up
his mind to do that in dealing with
forests. But governments are begin
ming to do it, although in many cases
it is late beginning. The United States
now is administering the third largest
government forest area in the world.
Only Russia and Canada have more.

try which does not grow its own tim

CHARGED WITH INSANITY.
Lester Harvey of Oakesdaie Elk
amined as to Mental Condition.

@~S@~h W A-N-
amined as to Mental Condition.
A peculiar case came before Charles R.
Hill, court commissioner, Wednesday
afternoon. Lester Harvey of OakesdaIe
was brought here by W. A. Curtis, city
marskal of Oakesdale, and Leonard
Harvey, his brother, charged with in
sanity. Drs. Benson and Palamountain
conducted the examination. 1t de-
veloped that the patient was weak
minded from birth, caused from injuries
received, and his mind had never fully
developed. 1t was also shown that his
mental condition was aggravated by a
shock from lightning received 10 or -
years ago. He is not an imbecIe exact
~, but cannot be trusted to do any
thing, and is subject to violent fits of
temper that come apparently without
prOvOcatiOn" and when least expected.
He once tried to kill his father, now
dead, with an ak. He seems to be con-
trary in disposition. Ii asked to do
anything he will insist on doing it the
opposite way to which he is told. If
opposed in the least he will fly into a
violent rage, committing acts of violence.
He is about 80 years of age. The family
are all bright and intelligent but Lester.
Besides the home in Oakesdale the
Harveys own fine farm in the country
| pGtnr will not orc tho 70 h.,t in
sists on being in town, and his will
brooks no opposition. Now that the
harvest season is here it is not thought
safe to leave him alone with the mother,
Leonard Harvey being compelled to go
to the farm.
1t developed at the examination that
there is no law in Washington permit
ting an imbecile or weak-minded person
being sent to the hospital for the insane
at Medical Lake-it being place for the
insane only-so the order Of the court
was that he be remanded to the custody
OF the family for the time being. The
mother is deeply grieved over the con
dition of her son, and is willing to spend
the last dollar she has for his care and
| comfort, but it is recognized by all who
know that it is not safe for a woman
even mother-to be alone with MIN.
In most states, California and Oregon
included, an imbecile or weak minded
person can be taken to the hospitals for
the insane, there being wards provided
| for their care. 1t should be so in the
state of Washington.

A HOMILY ON BASEBALL.
Season Closes With Debt of $4,000
Staring Us in the Face.

The baseball season, so far as the
league is concerned, is over, but the bills
connected Herewith remain a very live
issue 1t is stated that Colfax is behind
over $4,000. Many Of the subscribers at
the beginning OF the season have gotten
tired of putting up and have slOughed
off payments entirely. 1t looks now as
though the seven directors elected at
the opening OF the season. composed of
business men, will have to make this
shortage good. Some fancy salaries
have been paid this season, ranging as
high as $115 month, with board and
room. There are but few college pro-
fessors in the land who receive as big a
salary as this. And as for newspaper
men, such a salary would cause most Of
them to drop dead. There is baseball
and again there is baseball. People
have to get excited over something. A
few years ago it was Belgian hares
Now it is a question in some places of
how to get rid of Belgian hares. Some
people are old-fashioned enough to think
that the old way Of playing baseball
was good enough. Instead of looking
on and seeing somebody else play ball
our boys and young men did the play
ing themselves and got all the fun with
no bills to pay. Modern baseball is on
par with cooking schools, swimming
schools, riding schools and the like. 1t
is fad that can be remodeled to advant-
age. This homily is not intended to re-
feet on anybody-it simply relieves the
pent up feelings Of the writer, who thinks
there are other things in life besides base
