The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-15

The Ranch, when l gave my disap-
prevail to it, but Mr.. Varnum is still
after me and wants more of it. He
wants me now "to pick the flaw in
his argument or point out to him the
fly in his pot of logical ointment-if
there be one"
Why, Mr.. Varnum, your pot is
plumb full of flies! The true fact is
chat you have forgotten to put any
logical ointment in it at ALL" if logic
is what Webster's Dictionary claims:
1.-THE art of reasoning correctly"
AS all flies came originally from a
parent-fy, just as mankind came orig
inally from Adam and Eve, and as
this eternal true law applies to the
files in Mr.. Varnum's pot, too, and as
logic can cause only logic, just as flies
can cause only flies, it is apparent at
a glance to see chat there can be
nothing else but flies in Mr.. Varnum's
pot, if he put fly in it in the first
place by mistake instead of logic"
1t will suffice, therefore, and save
space if l point out and catch the
mother-fiy, or any other, in order to
prove the whole contention in it.
After some talk about green cheese
and the man in the moon, Mr.. Var

they are first paid out to wealth pro-
ducers and from them directly enter

a circulating medium that actually

While the strawberry is an easy
crop to grow, best results follow when
certain precautions are taken at the
right time, says writer in Wisconsin
Agriculturist. Cultivation should con-
tinue all through the autumn at inter-
walls and up to freezing time. Such
work keeps down all weed growth and
the danger of maturing weed seeds to
annoy another season. The main
value, however, of fall cultivation lies
in the conserving Of moisture. If
there is no cultivation and no mulch,
the loss of moisture is heavy and
weeds have full sway, all of which
renders the bed just about worthless
for it's work of the following season.
The success of next years crop de-
ponds largely upon the start it gets in
the early spring, and the start it gets
at this time depends materially upon
the soil moisture present. Then keep
on cultivating and stirring the soil I'M
til winter puts an end to the opera
ton.
The question of mulching will soon
be up for final disposition. There is
nothing better than coarse horse ma

the social organism as blood is when
it congests in any part of the body.
1t is quite possible that there may
be legal objections to the immediate
adoption of this plan. 1t is the be-
lief of the writer, though, that once
the people can be shown the advan-
tage that will result they will see to
it that their agents at Olympia remove
those obstacles. That is what they
are there for. In any case, it is to
themselves that the farming commun-
ity must look for help. If this finds
favor push it, agitate it. If not, let
us devise some method by which more
than five per cent of Western Wash
ington may be fitted for the pillow in
fifty years.

WHAT is THE VARNUM IDEA"? tior
Edited by w. S. VARNUM

TONS 1t merely extends the time of
redemption a few years until the de-
velopment of the country shall make
it profitable for someone to work the
land and redeem the certificates.
When a few years ago a steamer
tied up at one of Seattle's docks and
the word went out that it had in it's
cargo several thousand ounces of gold,
every line of business at once felt the
effect. This gold meant an immedi-
ate increase of the circulating medium
of exchange. Had the cargo consist
ed of platinum, or osmium or such
much more valuable metal it would
have only caused a passing notice. 1t
would not have made collections
easier, nor materially increased the
volume of trade with it's consequent
profits. But for the metal gold, So
ciety provides a certain market at a
fixed price by manufacturing it into
a form of money that is at the same
time a full legal tender This is the

nure for the purpose. 1t packs just
enough to make a good covering and
stay where it is placed without dan
ger of smothering the plants should it
remain on them little too long in the
spring. The finer portions of it also
add materially to the fertility of the
SOIL There is no advantage in mulch
ing too heavily. A uniform covering
of about one inch is all that is neces-
sary. The purpose of mulch is not
to keep the plants from freezing, but
to keep the sun from thawing them
out when once there are frozen. An
other thing, the mulch should not be
applied too early in the season. Give
the plants the benefit of the full sea-
son in which to mature, and after the
ground has been frozen sufficiently
so that it can be driven over without
much damage to the plants, then ap-
ply the mulch. Too early mulching
may check some of the later plants
before they are mature and send them
into winter quarters unable to stand
the cold without being considerably
the worse for wear and tear when the
next season opens.

that this appointment was made at
the request of Senator Ankeny, that
it was in accordance with the usual
custom regarding federal patronage.
The senior senator made an excellent
choice. one approved by many in
Yakima county. in selecting Harry
Y. Saint Congressman Jones made
no endeavor TO inject himself into
the contest for the position.
Included in this tommyrot of the
Times are suggestions that Jones is
interested in Tieton land This has
been so frequently disproved and the
showing made that Jones only owns
ten acres of sage covered land. that

subject
Congressman Jones is not only a

county. he is considered its chief citi-
zen and the people have expressed
their confidence in him at every pos
sible point. Moreover. that same con-
fdence has been expressed by the
people of the state. who at the pri-
maries showed that they desired his
election as United States senator
over Senator Ankeny and Judge
Smell.
The Legislators have pledged them
selves to vote for the choice of the
party. and that choice has been ex-
pressed. Neither Congressman Jones
nor his friends are worrying about
the integrity OF these Legislators nor
their intent to stand by their word.

ARMY DID EXTREMELY WELL.

In another column or this paper
will be found the financial statement
which Captain Jenkins makes at the
conclusion of his christmas work
which bears out what was indicated
in former issue of the Herald to
the effect that the Captain knew
about what he could do and did it.
The Salvation Army set out to
feed fifty needy families but before
the work was completed applications
for help from ten other applicants
and their wants were taken care of
also. AS a result of this conscien-
tious endeavor to act the part of the
good Samaritan. the Army exchequer
shows slight deficit, little less
than 500 lnasmuch as people of
this city have come to know Captain
jenkins Intimately and. having be.
come acquainted. have learned to love
and admire him for his staunch in
tesrity and sterling character. it
would be only fair for those who
feel an interest in him and his work
to send him one or five or ten dol
lars 10 pay off his obligations. so
that he will have nothing to worry
him. He has done well and as a
representative of the sort of Chris
tianity that practical men and wo-
men pretend to believe in and prac-
tice. he has few superiors. Will the
people of North Yakima show actual
recognition of that Christianity to
the amount of 500 and do il imme-
diately?
