Save sour milk for making various
cakes and suet pudings; it makes
them very light, and thus constant
source OF waste is avoided.
The very best way to keep violets
fresh is not to put them in water, but
to throw over them a handkerchief
thoroughly wet, and set them in "a
draft.
Metal teapots, if disused for some
time. give a musty flavor to the tea
when next used This may be pre-
vented by placing a lump of sugar in
the teapot before putting away.
After washing and thoroughly dry
ing bed quilts and ''comfortables" fold
and roll them tight, then give them a
beating with the rolling pin to liven
up the batting. 1t will make them

To bronze a plaster cast give the
cast a coat of size varnish, and let it
stand till almost dry. Then put some
metallic bronze powder into a muslin
bag, dust it over the surface, dab it
with wad of linen, and when per-

Leave mud stains on skirts, ETC.,
severely alone till thoroughly dry and
then brush with a stiff clothes brush.
If any stain remains dip a piece of
flannel in strong alcohol and rub till
the spot disappears. Another plan is
to rub the spot with a cut potato, for
potato juice is very cleansing and is
easily removed afterward with cloth
and a little warm water
If good piano receives proper care
it's value increases with u.s. It be-
comes more mellow, more responsive
and richer even in appearance. Avoid
placing a piano near the window, as
the varying temperatures which nee
essarily exist in such a position are in
furious to the strings. Be careful, too,
that you do not have one end of the
instrument near a fire and the other
near a window or door When a room
has become very cold do not heat it
too quickly, but increase the heat
gradually.
To clear quickly the atmosphere Of
room from dust especially a car
peted room, after sweeping, this sim
pie expedient suffices: Take a piece of
sheeting or large towel, dip it in water
and wiring dry as possible, then swing
the dampened cloth back and forth

To derive any real benefit from
walking, the step must be light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that its weight
is not felt The harmonious play of
the muscles imparts a supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically, and produce a
healthy glow showing that the slug
gish blood Is stiried to action in the
most remote veins. This manner of
walking, as may be imagined, strength
ems the whole body, giving tone TO the
nerves and producing just the sort of
healthful fatigue which encourages
sound rest and beautifying slumber

COMPENSATION.

There is a legend of mythology
which tells of an ancient belief that
the lives of men passed through diff
ferent stages of existence in a circle
and that a god standing still beside
the human pathway would see every
life and all its off spring, forever,
passing by on the continuous circuit
OF existence.
In this way if man escaped pun
ishment for a wrong act and was not
himself cut off by this god. fate
made it inevitable that all of his de-
scendants would pass under the
watchful eye of the god and the sins
of the father or the grandfather
would be amply compensated by the
children.
This old lesson is farther reaching
than the ancients knew, perhaps. In
the light Of mental science, it is clear
that we receive what we invite, we
enjoy what We build for, we pay as
we order. The rewards may not come
today, tomorrow or in life time, but
they surely come. Compensation is
the balance which holds the worlds
accounts even, which prescribes the
eternal justice of the universe.

LA TOILETTE is SECOND.

That the world loves a "scrapper'
is shown by the vote in the mock
republican convention held by the
students of Columbia college in New
York this week.
The students of that institution
held a meeting and took vote on
presidential candidates and with
Governor Hughes Of their own state
leading favorite. the vote gave
Senator La Toilette second place on
the list.
II this is a straw showing the di-
rection in which the political wind is
blowing. It looks as though Senator
La Toilette may not be far away
from the presidency. New York
paper says:
At the Columbia students mock
republican national convention in the
university gymnasium tonight Cover
nor Charles E. Hughes was nominat-
ed for president" The vote was
made unanimous, and after adjourn
ment was taken the students parad-
ed down Broadway, following the
lead Of brass bands.
On the first roll call Governor
Hughes received 2S7 votes and Sena-
tor La Toilette Of Wisconsin, 223,
with scattering votes for others put
in nomination, including President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary
Cortelyou, Secretary Taft, Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon
Of the house. The second roll call
gave Governor Hughes 525 votes, as
against S52 for Senator La Toilette.

ENOUGH FOR ONE MAN.

If President Roosevelt should live
and remain president long enough to
complete any one Of the big tasks he
now has in hand, it would be enough
for one lifetime.
Suppose Roosevelt should, as pres
ident, complete the Panama canal,
or should accomplish the complete
regulation of the railroads or should
succeed in securing legislation which
would place the financial resources
and money supply OF the government
entirely beyond the reach of the
Wall street spectators, would not
the accomplishment of any of these
tasks be enough?
Washington by his valor and fore
sight as commander-in-chie won
the fight for liberty in the American
revolution; Lincoln by his courage
and wisdom had safely guided the
civil war toward a triumphal close
when he was lost to his country;
jefferson added one-third to the area
of the United States by purchasing
Louisiana from Napoleon, and other
presidents have achieved great things
in a few years. but If President Roos-
evelt successfully accomplishes any
one of the great ndustrial-commer-
cial issues which are engaging his
fitted humanity as much as has any
one of the half dozen really great
presidents on the list.

River.
Hood River deserves credit for
building up an excellent apple grow
ing industry; she deserves praise for
her enterprise in boosting once
brushy and timbered land to high
priced orchard land worth $1,000 per
acre.
But Hood Rivers success is due to
persistent and intelligent labor and
publicity on part of Hood River peo-
pie, rather than to any monopoly of
the apple growing virtues enjoyed by
that district.
The same patience, intelligence,
labor care and expense in many
places in Umatilla county will
achieve the same result.
Apple land can be bought for from
$50 to 500 per acre in Umatilla
county, while Hood Rivers dexterous
skill wrings from $3.50 to $500 per
acre from settlers for practically the
same quality OF land.

AMBITION.

In sailing DER the trackless deeps
or oceans broad expanse.
An ever present summit keeps
Just so far in advance.
Fen though the ship doth never rest
But travels night and day,
Still elusive mountain crest
Keeps just so far away.
We crowd on sail to gain those
heights
That just before US rise.
That we may rest and view the sights
That await our eager eyes.
But when we reach the point we seek
The prospect fades away;
We find instead some loftier peak
That lures US on for aye.
And thus we said earth's oceans DER
BY loftier heights e'er led;
Hope sits enthroned for evermore
On some peak just ahead.

MORNING IN THE NORTHWEST.


Gray countries anu grim empires pass

Goes down to dust; ana youth itself

This passes not away! This dew

This infinite great width of open

This cool, keen wind that blows alike
Gods own breath

This brooding sea of sun-washed soli-

This virginia. vast dome of open air
These, these endure, and greater are
than grief!
Still there is strength; and life, oh,
life is good!
Still the horizon calls the morrow
lures;
still hearts adventurous seek outward
trails;
Still. stlll life hold its hopes!
For here is air and Gods good green
ness spread!
Here youth audacious fronts the com
ing dayl
Here are no huddled cities old in SIN
Where team reptilous mirth and
golden ease
And age on youth so mountainously
lies.
Here life takes on glory and
strength
OF things still primal, and goes
plunglng on!
What care we for time-incrusted
tombs?
What care we here for all the cease
less drip
OF tears in countries old in tragedy
What care we here for all earths
creeds outworn,
The dreams outlived, the hopes TO

In that old East so dark with rain
and doubt?
Here life swings glad and free and
rude, and youth
Shall drink it to the full, and go con-

POLITICAL LINES VANISH.

Harvey Scott, Of the Portland Ore
gonian. and Henry waterson, of the
Courier Journal. have long been warm
personal friends and mutual admir-
ers. although directly opposed for
years in political sentiment.
BY a strange freak of the political
alchemy of the 2Oth century, how
ever, Harvey Scott. the essence of re-
publicanism and Henry waterson, the
quintessence of democracy. have both
departed from their old ways and are
together, politically. Both have de-
clared their political independence.
All along the line OF thoughtful
journalists is seen the same soften
ing Of political lines; all through the
ranks OF political leaders is seen a
similar smoothing out Of harsh politi-
cal wrinkles.

Sam White Of Baker City, the Tom
Taggart Of Oregon democracy, who
a few years ago threw a IS hat
through a skylight 75 feet from the
ground in Baker City when the band

have the municipal vote. There is
no previous instance in history where
majority either of the men or of
the women in any country have sign
ed a petition for anything; and the
frequent remark that whenever the
majority of women ask for suffrage
they will get it," is always to be un-
derstood as a polite way OF saying
that the speaker does not want to

and selling price to come out even of
80 cents per hundred weight in this
instance and approximately 80 cents
per hundred weight where all varying
factors are taken into consideration
would scarcely be realized by the cas-
ual observer.
The reader is cautioned, however,
not to misinterpret the principle. 1t
clearly shows that a greater margin
is necessary with the cheaper cattle.
The writer does not presume to dis
cuss at this time as to whether or not
margins sufficiently large to balance
or more than balance the requirement
are likely to follow the finishing of
low grade steers to render their fat
tening a more profitable enterprise
than the feeding of the better grades.
In general, however, the extreme diff
ferences between the various grades
of feeding cattle tend to become less
marked as the feeding process goes
on. That is to say, the difference in
quality between the various grades OF
feeding cattle are more pronounced
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-02-15

than differences between the various
grades of beef or fat cattle.
Buying feeding cattle is almost the
first, if not the first, step to be taken
in cattle feeding. The beginning cat
tie feeder seldom appreciates the i'm
portance of this factor in determining
ultimate profits. The veteran feeder
has learned by costly experience that
unless he buys his feeding cattle right;
that IS, unless he gets good value for
his money, all possible hope for profit
has been destroyed before the real
work of finishing begins. If the be-
ginner appreciates the Importance of
right buying he seldom possesses ade-
quate knowledge of the relative and
absolute values of the various grades
of feeding cattle.

Market Grades of Feeders.

1t is obvious that the writer could
not determine a set of values that
would obtain in all markets and in
all seasons. The assumed values are
sufficiently close to average feed lot
conditions to render them valuable for
illustrating an important principle. 1t
is assumed that the steers of the va
rious grades make the same gains in
a given time on a given amount OF
feed. AS, a matter of fact the better
grades will eat more and gain more
rapidly than the commoner grades.
However, if there was only the one
varying factor, and that the cost pei

principle enunciated would hold

Care and Feed of the Stallion.
{ Alex. Galbraith.)


1t has been remarked that the proper
time to begin the training of the per-
feet child is many years prior to its
birth. Whether this be the case or not,
it is certainly true that the stallion
should be taken in hand considerable
time before the breeding season opens
if the best possible results are to be OBJ
tanned in the stud. Many stations be-
gin the season in an unhealthy and
consequently an unfit condition. The
majority of them are probably too fat,
while others may be exactly the oppo-
site-their blood being impoverished
by lack of nutritious food during the
winter. Both extremes are to be equal
ly avoided, the maximum of health and
vigor being obtained by what may be
termed "the happy medium" or middle
course of feeding, combined with what
is equally important-a sufficient and
regular amount of exercise.
Opinions vary in regard to many
things, but in one thing all are agreed,
viz, that a stallion ought to gain rath-
er than lose flesh while the breeding
season progresses. If he begins the
season in a fat, plethOric condition and
gradually loses flesh through the sum-
mer, as is not infrequently the case,
good results can hardly be expected.
Let him begin the breeding season in
moderate flesh, healthy and vigorous,
his muscles being we'll hardened with
daily exercise, and as the season ad-
vances have him gain flesh, slowly but
steadily, until the end of the season,
and the probability is that more and
healthier foals will be the result. AS
in everything else, however, good judg-
ment in handling the stallion is OF first
importance. BY careful feeding and
proper handling, there should be no oc-
casion for the use of drugs or medi-
cines during the season. Some stallion
ers. especially those of the older
school, advocate the free use of salt
peter. 1t has been our custom to give
a teaspoonful of saltpeter to each stall
lion in his Saturday evening bran mash
and with satisfactory results.
A good deal of latitude may be al
lowed the stallioner in the matter OF
feeding, but it is safe to say that good,
bright, clean oats and haythe latter
as free as possible from dust, and
