The Worm Must Go.

The following is a letter written
to Mr.. Walden, and printed in The
Ranch.
II am now convinced that no one
need have wormy apples in his or
chard no matter how adverse his
conditions may seem Our demon
STATIONS Of our methods OF spray
ing at Walla Walla and Wen
atchee this year have been most
convincing. For instance, l Sc
lected an abandoned orchard at
Wslla Walla that has been run to
weeds, scale and moth, so that its
crop has hitherto been wasted each
year. In fact, most Of the orchard
had been cut down for FIRE wood by
the time | selected it. 0ne7hun-
dred trees were sprayed four times
with arsenate Of lead while about
fifty trees that had been sold when
the orchard was divided into town
lots were unsprayed. Counts
We're made two weeks ago at pick
ing time and show the orchard to
be free from moth to the extent Of
1919 per cent. Counts on the un-
sprayed portion Of the orchard ran
only 3.5 per cent free from shc cod
ding moth In other words, four
sprayinga have changed the crop
from worthless 70 practically 100
per cent clean This, I believe, is
the severcst test we have ever I'M
der;aken, and the reeults bear out
what we direct our farmers to do.
In this case the orop Of the hun
dred sprayed trees amounted to
200 boxes, the 81 IA Wing OF these
trees cost $50. The buyer refused
TO bid on the apples from the I'M
sprayed portion Of the orchard

HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not For.
gotten Old Days.

The coming of age of Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt and the payment to her of
some twelve millions of dollars inher-
itance has brought out new crop of
anecdotes about the Vanderbilt for
tune. One of the latest illustrates
the democratic spirit of the old COM
modore.
Sitting on the porch of a fash
ionable hotel at a fashionable resort
on one occasion, it is related, the
commodore saw a lady approaching
with whom he was acquainted. His
wife and daughter, who recognized
her. could scarcely contain their an
ger when he arose and politely ad-
dressed her.
Don't you know said the daugh-
ter after she had gone, that hor-
rid woman used to sell poultry to
us?"

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an ole coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as 1t is
for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of loss of the morn
ing beverage. for when Postum is we'll
boiled and served with cream, 1t is
really better in point of flavor than
most OF the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur 1t
Is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
In the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the Observation-Disclosures

taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little One Wanted to Pick the Gun
derchildrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "childrens flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped off blossoms
from the forgetme-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia
Bile. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words a four-year-old ever used
GRANDMOTHER" she begged, cant
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"

ON A MACkEREL SCHOONER.
Daily Routine in the Life of the Glou
cester Fishermen.

The routine life on a mackerel
schooner is not strenuous. The crew
consists of IA men, skipper and
cook Two men constitute watch
one aloft as a lookout, the other at
the wheel, so that each man has two
hours on duty, and then 12 hours off,
before his turn comes around again.
During this period he may be called
on to shorten sail, wash the deck or
to perform other work. Half of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook, who is king of the forScas-
tie, and the rest sleep aft with the
captain. We were assigned to a
double bunk aft, where we were not
troubled with galley smells, but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
crew ate in two shifts. the older men
