Judge Hanford, of the federal court, held that TN
der the constitution of the state, the power to fix
such rates reserved to the legislature and could
not be delegated to a commission
The decision is one of vital Importance to the
lumber and grain interests of Washington, which

ature together to the function placed upon it
by the court, if its decision is to be of immediate
effect. 1t is announced that appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the United States and there
is possibility of reversal in the course of time.
The employment of delegated power through the
medium of railroad commissions has stood the test
of judicial opinion in other states, where railroad
commissions not only have the power denied the
one in Washington, but exercise it freely.
The right of minor federal judge to interpret
the constitution of state is exactly controversial
but is looked upon with disfavor by believers in the
right of states regulate their internal affairs.
In these days of federal aggression such conclusions
as the one recorded in Washington are likely to
prove an element of disturbance.

Democratic Declarations.

Wisconsin and Oklahoma have spoken through
Democratic conventions in favor of the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan at Denver, giving instructions accord
said in their platform
1--WE regard with just pride and admiration that
typical American, that matchless leader who has
blazed the way to wholesome public opinion and
ably champoned the cause of the people. His zeal
manship stamp him the greatest living American
statesman and endear him to all those who believe in
equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
We therefore, declare that unanimously i'll
favor of that great Commoner-William Jennings
Bryan-as the next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States, and hereby instruct
delegates to the National Democratic Conven-
ton at Denver to vote for William J. Bryan as the
Democratic nominee for President, first, last and
all the time.
The Democrats of Wisconsin made excellent cam
pagn material of the last message to Congress from
the pen of the President of the United States, de-
clarng that the appalling abuses therein disclosed
results of the long continued reign of the Re-
publican party. 1t was represented that Republi-
can President furnished the evidence upon which
to base damaging charges against the Presi-
dents party and that such evidence ought to be
accepted as conclusive.
Finally, the malefactors thus exposed pill
lored as "the shameless products of system of pub
lie plumber and debauchery too long endured by a
patient and suffering people" Mr.. Roosevelt has
placed weapon in the hands of the enemy that will
keep pace with the big stick the campaign pro-
crosses.

Notes About the Farm,

The hens ought to have a little grain
every day all during the summer.
Feeding heavily on whole corn has
tendency to induce hens to become
broody.
Try to arrange to give each horse on
the farm a three weeks vacation on
grass.
Keep the stables and the yards clean.
so that flies and insects have no breed
ing places.
Beets or mangel wurzels make fine
food for poultry. They should be
chopped fine.
Do not fail to provide a shelter I'M
der which the young chicks can scurry
in case of sudden storms
Boiled eggs should never be fed to
very young chicks and should never
be fed more than twice a week.
The poor COW seems to be continual
ly with us. Get rid of her and thus
reduce the cost of production.
Keep the milking stable darkened
and screened, and spray the COWS
every day. 1t will pay in dollars and
cents
The man who starts with little
money in the dairy business is likely
to make the most in the end, for he
must be careful enough to acquire the
habit
Glover is a very valuable feeding
crop, because it contains so much of
the element of protein, which is the
element in feeding crops that costs the
most.
Acidity in milk is incipient decom-
position, and it is the most delicate
favored oils which suffer first of all
among the fats of which butter is COM
posed.
Eyehy successful breeder has some
hobby. some originality that leads him
to improve some particular character
istic Of his cows and improve them in
some one particular point.
Never dose a healthy horse All he
needs is good care and good feed. The
good care includes. of course, regular
exercise. It is just as bad for herse
10 be Ill the time taking medicine as it
is for man. Do not do it.

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have We
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
sty such a catarrh remedy? Let Us see
what the United States Dispensatory
Says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
i hydrastis canadensis, OK golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this her bal remedy, that 1T 10 largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed IN the United
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action OF cedron that
it is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment Of dysentery, and in inter
mittent diseases as substitute for
quinine.
Send to us for free book of testi-
monials Of what the people think of Pc
runa as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.

In commercial orcharding it is gen-i
orally most economical to have pick
ing and packing work going on concur
rently. This saves putting the apples
on the ground and having to handle
tnem again. A portable sorting table
upon which pickers can empty their
bags is placed on low truck wheels and
a single horse can move it to any de-
sired point as the work proceeds. 1t
should be made large enough to hold
not less than two barrels of fruit
The rear bolster is higher than that
at the open end. so that the culls can
be rolled out. 4 long heavy plank is
placed on the ground on each side of
this table on which the barrels are set
for filling. The culls are allowed to
roll into pile from the lower end of
the grading table.

Get After the Fly.

Flies are one of the most aggravat-
ing pests we have on the farm. If
we give them a breathing spell the
poor cows, calves and horses have to
suffer and the supply of milk will run
short. 1t is either fight or lose" 1t
is not sufficient to just spray the ami
mails with fy-repelling mixture in
the morning and then turn them out to
pasture.
A few hours later. when l go to look
after them in the pasture, they are
often covered with blOod-sucking flies
again, sc l take a hand-sprayer loaded
with a liquid of which kerosene forms
a large portion along and spray this
right upon the flies on each animal.
The cows soon learn that spraying
means relief and they will hold still
while you spray. The flies quickly let
go of their hold and fall to the ground
when the Kerosene touches them. Wis
iting the animals once or twice a day
in this manner is great help to them
during the fly season.. r. Johnson,
Illinois.

Farming on Arid Land.

successful farming on arid land with
out artificial watering has been
brought to the notice Of the Agricultur-
al Society of Germany, with an expla-
nation OF the method. In Syria and
falestlne, with practically no rain
from April to October, the fields in
july have a hourishing abundance of
Watermelons, cucumbers. tomatoes and
other products, and plants continue
green and thriving until autumn. The
secret lies in so blowing that the win
ter rains are absorbed and retained in
the subsoil. The blowing is shallow,
averaging only 4 to 6 inches in depth.
and after the full harvest it follows
each heavy rain as soon as the ground
begins to dry, the purpose being to keep
loose and friable surface to take up
the water from the subsoil. In the
spring the land is plowed to a depth of
about 6 inches. The seed is dropped
by the plow upon the moist subsoil and
1t is covered by the closing up Of the
loose soil. Protected by the loose coy
ering, the subsoil furnishes sufficient
moisture for plant growth during the
entire dry season
