no we hear of telephone lines being con-
structed and phones installed in every
well-to-do farmers home. This speaks
volumes for the prosperity and progress
of the farmers of the northwest. They
cannot be overlooked and they will have
it put in just as soon as a line comes
near enough to connect with their
houses We notice, too, that the ma
jority of the farmers use the better
makes of instruments, among them be-
ing many made by the Stromberg-Carl-
son company, of Rocheser, N. Y. These
people carry an advertisement in The
Ranch, and have as their agents for the
Pacific coast the Brown-Spear-Sloane
The Ranch suggests that those interest
ed in the matter should write to Brown
Spear-Sloane Co. for full information
and catalogues of these phones.

question is that the chief value OF
milk is not in the quantity of butter
fat that it contains, but that, on the
other hand, butter fat plays only a
small part in milk value. "HOlstein
milk" said Mr.. Smith, meets the re-
Quirement of small percentage of but
ter fat and is consequently very easy
milk for a child to digest, and milk
from these cattle produces stronger
and healthier children
The Ayrshire COW was defended by
Gilbert Mcmillan, and the Jersey by
A. M. Stevens, both of these gentle
men dwelling much upon the same line
as their predecessor, that their par
ticular brand was best, and both pro-
duced strong arguments to uphold
their respective claims in the discus
sion.
Some Words from Commissioner Davies
The first business that came before
the afternoon meeting was the ap-
pointment of a committee of seven,
Including the president and the Sec
rotary who are to confer upon the
subject of an excursion to the farm
ers' institute at Pullman. The COM
mittee is: H. l.. Blanchard, S. b.
Nelson, B. F. Reed, A. j. Splawn and
the officers named Another commit
tee was appointed to see the manage
ment of the railroads as to the pos
sibility of obtaining a low rate to their
homes. At this session State Dairy
and Pure Food Commissioner Davies
submitted a report concerning the
work of his office. Among other things
Mr., Davies advocated the enactment
in this state of a law that will re-
Quire the number of ounces in pack
age of butter to be plainly stamped
upon the cover of the package, as is
done in many other states where the
dairy industry fiourishes. This would
minimize the tendency so prevalent
among butter manufacturers and pack
ers to put out short-weight package.
Another thing which needs the at
tention of the legislature, according
to Mr.. Davies, is the milk supply in
the large cities, and he believes that
an act should be passed giving to
cities of the first class the power to
regulate their milk supply and the
power to appoint inspectors who would
be made special inspectors OF the
state department, and who would act
in the territory which furnishes milk
to these cities.
Mr.. Davies also touched upon the
present law relating to the exhibit
ton in a prominent position in res

effect He thinks the law should

be amended to include the sale of
this product by the grocers. The
question of farmers institutes was al
so taken up by Mr.. Davies. He
strongly urged the association to back
up such enterprises with all their
power, as he believed that they were
of very great Importance to the dairy
ing industry.
Throughout the entire session there
was many a lively tilt between speak
ers, but when adjournment was taken
they had been forgotten, all hard feel
ings buried, and the best of feeling
prevailed At one time on the last
day. DR.. r. N. Jackson made a state
ment that he had become tired of hear
ing of the club being taken to the
farmer to make him produce good and
pure milk. DR.. Jackson characterized
it as all rot, and said eff you can
do better than the United States gov
eminent which has tried to regulate
the railroads and the Standard Oil
trust, and has failed, all right; but
what the farmer wants is not a stick
held over his head, that is to fall when
he trespasses, but an explanation up
on the part of those who know of the
manner in which he should do these
things. The laws are made and put
upon the books and the slippery man
goes his way indifferent-he always
gets around them. What we want is
not so much legislation, but more edu-
cation"

"The dairy business has been sub
ject to many ups and downs within
the last few years, waxing great for
a period, and then again growing
poor" said Prof. Elliott at the recent
Spokane convention of the state dairy
men, "This has been due, no doubt,
to the fact that as the country has
opened up there have been more op-
portunities for the investment of cap
ital in fields that will pay larger re-
turns. The placing of dairying upon
The practical basis upon which it now
stands. will to some extent do away
with the fluctuations of the business.
Don't forget that testing forms one
of the most important parts of the
creamery system and upon it often de-
ponds the success of creamery. The
manager should give ii his personal
supervision.

cation
An Exchange of Compliments.
During the delivery Of this speech,
Secretary Whitney was becoming a
little warm under the collar and was
revolving in his mind all the terrible
things he would heave at the doctor.
Soon as DR.. Jackson ceased speaking
Mr.. Whitney sprang to his feet in
defense of the legislation that he be-
lieved the dairy interests in our state
need. "In this state" said he, "a
state that is new and in which the
dairy industry is yet in It's infancy,
there is much need of legislation;
need of club to hold over the farm
er's head and make him obey the law
if he will not produce pure milk with
out resort to force. Back in Mime
sofa they may not need any laws OF
this kind, but out here we need them.
The condition of some of the milk
houses of the farmers in this state
is so bad that legislation is neces-
sary, legislation that will make man
realize that if he does not do right
the law will step in and make him do
so'
The tilt was highly enjoyed by those
present, but, fearing for the safety
of the combatants, G. l.. Smith arose
and proceeded to calm the turbulant
waters with oil. He said that what
we need are both legislation and law
for the betterment of conditions in the
state. There is always one fellow IN
so that you must show the club to,
in order to convince him that he must
produce pure milk. The other 40 may
come to have the same view as we
have without even an argument, but
for the other it is we'll to have good
heavy club to beat into his mind the
necessity of acting rightly
The committee on resolutions had
long report to submit, and it is earn
estly hoped that many of their re
solves" will materialize. The commit
tee wants the legislature to make an
appropriation of not less than $1,000
for farmers Institutes for the next TWO
years. and they insist that every mem
Der use his influence on his local rep
resentau1ves and senators to secure
this assistance.
The committee referred at some
length to the Alaska YukOn-Paciflc eX-
position to be held in Seattle in l9O9,
saving that this exposition can be
made to add greatly to the fame and
prosperity of the commonwealth OF
Washington. They endorsed particu-
larly the plan for holding in this con-
nection an extensive live stock exhibit
ton and requested the officials in
charge to arrange for such dairy
contest and exhibit as will show to the
world the great advantages and oppor-
tunities for the dairy industry in this
state. The suggestion was made that
the proper man for the head of the
live stock and dairy department is
John L. Smith, of Spokane, and his ap-
pointment to the position was urged.

He Knew Mrs. Barker.

The Bankers possessed three large,
Intelligent tortoise shell cats, and some
times as many as three families Of kit
tens. Mrs. Barker was much too ten
der-hearted to drown or chloroform tine
superfuous kittens, yet she could not
keep them all; consequently she de-
voted much time and thought to find
ing happy homes for the tortoise-shell
progeny.
One spring the daughter Of neigh
Dor who had moved some years pre-

COLOR SENSE IN ANIMALS.
Possessed to High Degree by Some,
Especially by Birds

A hypothesis that the sense of colors
Is possessed to a high degree by animals
and especially ~ birds furnished a
basis for some of the most beautiful
and fecund of the D2rwinian theories
of sexual selection. No Darwinist
doubts that the brilliant rOlors of male
birds are to attract the attention of the
female birds, and this presupposes nat
urally on the part of these birds a fine
sense of color.
Wallace has asserted that to the fact
that certain plants bear fruit of bril-
liant colOrs is due their preservation ::
the animals, attracted by these colors.
break the fruits from the trees or
plants, carry them off and thus Indirect
ly assist in the dissemination of the
seeds which they contain over large
tracts of land. And this function of
selection on the part Of animals pre-
supposes in them a certain sense of
color. Still, scientific documents in sup
port of these hypothesis are rare.

b. X. TILLMAN. AT the very DeSln-
ming Of his address Senator Tillman,
launching into personalities, drew satir-
ical picture of the Senate as a minstrel
show. In the character of Pitchfork Bep
he characterized himself as one of the
end men in the show while opposite him,
at the other end, was playing Senate!
Spooner, "juggler of international repu'
tation," who also sang bass alto, SO
prano or tenor and was superb in any
role" The minstrel circle between he
peopled with other Senators who have
spoken on the negro affair."
After completing this picture the Sen
ator suddenly became serious and with
frenzied and fervid oratory repeated re-
marks he had previously made ON the sub
ject of lynching negroes.
He prefaced his defense of lynching
with this declaration 1T is bat my ma
ture to be blunt and outspoken and /
have never taught my tongue the art of
double dealing, and if there is an vice in
man | abhor more than any other it is
hypocrisy"
Mr.. Spooner followed and denied that
he held malice toward Mr.. Tillman and
thought his colleague would regret his
words when he saw them in print.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee said
that in all of his experience in the Senate
he had never heard a speech so studiously
offensive as that of Mr.. Tillman. He re-
ferred TO the fact that he had been in
cluded in the South Carolina Senator's
criticism, saying that Mr.. Tillman's
structures on him had been without prov
Ocation.
1T is with no feeling of resentment l
say with respect to some men that it is
their misfortune rather than their fault
that they do not know how to speak the
language of courtesy and good breeding"
