ENORMOUS OUTPUT
OF YAKIMA FRUIH.

Secretary H. P. James Of the Com
mercial club, takes exception to the
statement made by C. H. Hinman in
yesterdays Republic in which that
gentleman says Wenatchee shipped
two or three hundred more cars Of
fruit last year than did Yakima, says
the Yakima Republic.
The statement is preposterous, says
Mr.. James. Taking State Horticultu-
raj Commissioner Huntley's figures as
a criterion, Yakima county has about
three times as many fruit trees in
bearing as Wenatchee has.
Mr.. Huntley's figures show that
Chelan county has 1,O1S,22O trees in
bearing. Yakima county, according
to Mr. Huntley's figures, has 3,142,,
447 trees. Knowing the productivity
of Yakima valley fruit trees, Yakima
people or any one else, knows that
Chelan county could not by any
means whatever, possibly ship more
fruit than Yakima does, or as much,
The statement is not borne out by
the figures.

Points I'm Butter Making

Points In Butter MAKING.
When butter will not gather the
difficulty can be traced usually to adj
,anced lactation or too low a tempera-
ture Of cream. The milk from one
cow long in lactation Is sufficient to
spoil whole churning. The viscosity
OF such milk renders separation OF but
ter fats slow and imperfect. 1t orten
happens during the winter months that
butter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate into small particles, which re-
fuse to adhere or gather, In spite OF all
coaxing. The only remedy is to raise
the temperature of the whole mass up
to the proper degree. In this work the
dairy thermometer is almost indls-
pensable, as it will save much time
and worry. If the churn is revolv-
ing one and the cream just breaks into
minute particles, refusing to gather,
then add warm water to that used IN
rinsing the butter until it reaches about
"a degrees. The butter particles Will
generally adhere after a few revoiu-
tons of the churn. Trouble OF this
kind can be avoided. Before attempt
ing to churn the cream should be test
ed until "a degrees is reached in WIN
ter, and should be smooth and velvety
and have the required degree OF acid
ity. If this degree of warmth Is not
impaired to cream by the temperature
Of the room in which it is kept, then it
can be raised to the right degree by
setting the cream jar or can IN a
larger one containing warm water

THE AHTI-sALooN FIGHT.
1 Hot Contest On for Control In ths
National Capital.

Washington correspondence:
Vested rights. as represented by thu
sreweries, dlstilleries and liquor deal.
srs, have begun to petition Congress II
anticipation Of strong move in favor
IL prohibitory legislation at the hands
IL the national lawmakers. Primarily
the petitions are aimed against dry"
capital city, which is the object fixed
pom by temperance associations which
ave been encouraged by the prohibi-
ton wave that recently swept various
sections Of the country.
For some time well organized lobby
has been doing quiet preliminary work
in the interest Of the anti-prohibition
interests, which have been made more
anxious over the possibilities Of legis-
latlon in the near future than surface
indications would lead one to believe.
The belief is entertained that the pro-
hibition elements are bent on driving
liquor out of the country's capital for
he moral effect such an accomplish.
ment would have In still further ma
honalizing the general prohibition
movement.
The question before students of the
situation who are able to look at both
sides without having their view warped
~ prejudice Is this: Has the prohibit
ton tide reached Its flood, and will a
reaction presently set in; or will the
wave sweep on without serious inter-
ruption until 1t has converted the en-
ire country into land Of no license?
With this question in mind the work
ers on one side will put forth efforts to
make the capital of the United States
a temperance capital, while those on
the other hope that by downing the
movement here the way will be paved
for reaction from the results recently
brought about in several of the States,
especially those of the south.
The chances seem to be against any
drastic legislation on the subject by
Congress this winter. Possibly more at
tention might be given to the subject If
the Republicans and Democrats didn't
have so much to think about in the ma
ture Of politics pertaining to Presiden-
tial candidates next year. And If action
Is STAYED of the "antis' figure on a
reversal Of sentiment that will not re-
quire them to worry SO much in the fu-
ture.
But there is another side to the anti
prohibition propaganda now in progress
here which deals with the subject
wholly apart from the local issue In
volved. The attempt is being made to
impress upon Congress the magnitude
Of the whole prohibition question with
the argument that if prohibition pro-
hibited the government system Of tax
alton would have to be revised, mas
much as two-thirds of the governments
income is now derived from internal
revenue taxes.

How to KIN . Pig.

The pig should be thrown on Its back,
and held until stuck. One man should
stand astride the body, with his feet
close against It's sides and take hold
Of the front legs. In this way the hog
can be easily controlled. Another per-
son should do the sticking. A narrow,
straight-bladed knife, eight inches
long, should be inserted in the hogs
throat, after making an incision
through the skin, just in front Of the
breast bone. The point Of the knife
should be directed toward the root OF
the tail and held exactly In lire with
the backbone. When the knife has
been run into the throat six or eight
inches, the depth depending on the size
Of the hog, it should be given quick
turn to one side and withdrawn. The
arteries that are to be cut run close
together, just inside Of the breast bone,
and will both be cut when the knife Ii
turned, provided 1t is sharp on both
sides OF the point. A pig killed In this
way will die In very few minutes
and win bleed out thoroughly.
