FROM A CALIFORNIA FAIR.

Editor The Ranch: Your favor was
received in a very busy time. We had
a fine fair with plenty of money.
sold most of my sucking pigs for flu
ture delivery, so I will not advertise
now but will give you an order when
stock accumulates. At the show, Cur
yon of Sunnyside, bred by H. G. and
H. B. Harpending, of Dundee, N. Y,
narrowed 13 pigs today from Baron
Premier 31st. This SOW is from the
great brood SOW Starkey Belle, now
owned by Aldora farms, and is from
litter of fifteen pigs. Baron Premier
31st is sired by Premier Duke and
from litter of IL bred by N. H. Gen
try, of Sedalia, Mo. Curyon of Sunny
side narrowed 10 pigs September a.
1906, 10 March 25, 1907, and 13 on
September 10, 1907, making 33 pigs
in the year. The poorest of her March
litter carried off the blue ribbon last
week. Messrs. Harpending were the
breeders of the first prize boar under
six months, shown in pasture flesh,
the six months SOW Columbia 4th,
which won the gold medal as cham
pion SOW in the strongest competition
ever held in California, and Belle
first litter of pigs. I took first and
second on 2-year sows, first on one
year, first on six months, first and
second under six months, third on 2
year boar, second on one year, third
on six months and first and third
under six months, first and third on
produce of SOW winning gold and sill
yer medal My farm team took the
blue ribbon. My show was made
under great difficulties, as my show
herd and breeding herd are one. My
first prize SOW was heavy with pig
and the second was sucking litter,
and all the young stock were what
were left after selling closely Most
of the good Berkshires against me
were of Gentry breeding, some being
sons and grandsons of Premier Long
fellow. Judge Carroll Cook, of San
Francisco, sold his entire herd of
Berkshires at auction, making an
average of about 35 dollars. Most
were under six months of age. | have
other sows to farrow soon, all prize
winners, bred to prize winning boar.

ing $50 pounds. Of course, l realize
the fact that every farmer wants to
get all he can, but he should be sure
of what he is getting, and see that he
is getting the hard cash, and not
promises to pay, as he might fall
down on promises and find out that
high prices, he has simply made the
man present of the fruit; and the
man who has the money to lay down
wants to make fair profit for his in
vestment, otherwise he will keep the
money in his pocket. 1 think if you
would impress your readers on these
lines it might be beneficial.

Professor Carpenters reputation as an
irrigation expert is worldwide, and the
mission that he is so we'll able to per-
form for the Canadian government is
in line with the vast amount of infor-
nation he has accumulated and the
experience which he is able to bring
to bear. The great irrigation enter
prises of the west, and especially the
successful development of irrigation
systems in the famous Poudre valley,
and other sections of Colorado, are
greatly indebted to Professor Carpen-
ter for the ability, energy, and undi-
vided attention and skill he has given
them.

Prof. L. G. Carpenter, director of the
experiment station and professor of
civil and irrigation engineering in the
Colorado agricultural at Fort Collins,
has been called by the government of
British Columbia to examine the wa

provement, and to formulate a new
code of laws covering the administra-
tion and distribution of water, looking
to the rectification of existing difficult
ties with the present system. Profess
sor Carpenter expected to be absent
until the first of September, at which
time he was to return to the college.

counties in the northwest, were COM
pleted in June
The present circuit, which began
September 80, and will continue for
six weeks, will embrace the counties

LETTER FROM w. N. WHITE.

Editor The Ranch: I am about to
leave for Spokane, Washington. From
there I am going to Dayton and Waits
burg, where l have purchased in the
neighborhood of 10000 boxes of fruit
| am placing the credits through banks
today. Later on hope to be at North
Yakima and Wenatchee. l under
stand the Wenatchee crowd have call
ed for bids for their fruit for Septem-
Der the 23d. l am told that North
Yakima folks are going to offer by
auction. Well, I'll be there, all being
we'll, and a friend with me, and we
are prepared to talk business. | have
only been back three or four days,
and have not much news from this
part except that Canada has a good
crop of fruit and so has Nova Scotia;
New York state has a good crop, but
many of the other states have poor
crops. Washington folks seem to have
extreme ideas this year, and the soon
err they are corrected in these ideas,
the better. They want just as much
for boxes holding 40 pounds as one
can buy barrel for in the east, hold

Finds Husband Dead.

Mrs. Sophia DIETRICH of niff
Logan county, Colo, arrived in the
city Monday and proved to her own
satisfaction that Alonzo DIETRICH,
who accidentally shot and killed
himself four weeks ago while out
hunting near Johnstown, was her
husband. Mrs. DIETRICH was not
aware that her husband was dead
until she received word from Coroner
Macy last Friday that the man shot
at Johnstown was probably her hus-
band. She stated that they had
some slight trouble and he left home
several months ago and since then
she had not heard from him di'
rectiy. They took no newspapers
where she was living and hence she
did not read any account of his
death.
1t did not become necessary to ex-
hume the body as she carried a
photograph of her husband and this
was easily identified by Coroner
Macy as that of the man whom he
had buried. Mrs. DIETRICH left for
Kersey that afternoon and will here
after make her home there.

A College Play for the Masses

That it is not necessary for every
one who enjoys college play to be
a collegian has been proven by the
charm the new college play AT
Yale" in which popular Paul Gill
more appears at the opera house on
Saturday, Feb. End. is proving for
the great masses Of people of all sorts
and conditions. The young mar
likes it because it gives him a
glimpse into that life of which he
knows nothing, but Of which he is
longing to have lust such peep
The old people enjoy it because il
thrills them with the pulsebeat Of
the great life outside their own.
The young lady enjoys it because 1t
is heroic and pictures in all its glory
the athletic collegian. The young
sters enjoy it because of the excite
ment of the race and because OF
the virility of the hero, and the
cowarClice of the foiled william.
And so all classes are enticed to go
see the play, and, having seen 1t
once. wish to see 1t again, and where
that is impossible, wish to have their
friends see it when it comes to their
town.
