TALKS WITH OUR READERS
By the Advertising Man.

This is a great game our managing
editor is putting up in connection with
the livestock business out here in the
Northwest.
The advertising man made mistake
the other day. He called on certain
man in business in one of the cities
on the Sound, and it so happened that
one of the men interested in that insti'
tuition was also interested to small
extent with some of the meat packers.
He had heard about some of the
stuff in The Ranch.
He was not bit cordial with the
advertising man.
His mind made a sudden trip around
all the thoughts in his thinker, and
after it came back from that trip he
did not seem to think there was SIN
gle reason why the advertising man
should ever be on earth, and he pro-
ceeded to tell the advertising man
what he thought about him.
l assure you that it was not compli'
mentary.
But l felt like the Swedish fellow

ALFALFA.

Alfalfa, that extraordinary plant for
producing wealth and doing wonders
to farmers, is occupying an important
place in the plans of the Department
of Agriculture, the experiment stations
and the agricultural colleges. Through
their efforts largely it has rapidly
gained great success in cultivation
throughout vast area. The value of
the crop as hay this year is supposed
to be $100,000,000, and if the plans and
Efforts now under way to promote its
extension receive a reasonable reward.
the value of the future crop will be
several times the present amount.
This forage plant is chemical lab
orato?y In which nitrogen is taken
from the air. 1t Is a soil improver
of the highest merit. AS a fiesh-form-
ing feed for growing livestock, and
as milk and egg producer, 1t is un-

eAcelled BY any plant of large produc-
ton. 1t grows 2h tons of hay to the
acre as all average for the whole coun-
try where it is grown, or twice the av-
erage for all kinds of hay, and besides
this, it is more nutritious than other
hays.
The cultivation OF alfalfa has been
pressing eastward until now 1t Is es-
tablished as far as the longitude of
western Kansas, except in southern
Texas, and in some areas still farther
to the eastward. Elsewhere the grow
ing of this plant is mostly experiment
tai, but with promise of success. Fur

large areas, by means of instruction

Gently. Mr.. Burgess is from Iowa, and
is creamery butter maker by profess
sion. He has done work in that line
in Southern Idaho, in the Coos Valley
of Oregon and at Monroe. While he
likes the summer climate of Idaho he
pronounces the valleys of the Pacific
Coast the ideal dairy country, and
says the Snohomish Valley is the peer
of any, and is not one fourth developed
as yet. He regards the establishment
of condensary at Monroe as an i'm
portant step in the progress of the
dairy industry of that locality.

| did not write the stories about the
meat packers trust, and so l have a
Joke on this man who did not like me
because our managing editor did write
them.
However, it is all right. There are
a lot of really good livewire livestock
breeders throughout the country, and
all the readers of The Ranch should
get some of this best stock. Let every
reader of The Ranch join hands with
us in making this livestock industry a
success. Our managing editor assures
me that he is not going to quit his fight
on the meat packers until the condi-
ton of the livestock market is what
it should be.
The latest advertiser in the live.
stock department is E. N. Garrison, of
Twisp, who has been in Washington
about six years. Mr.. Garrison is a
man As years old, and with the excep-
ton of four or five years that he was
in the heavy hardware trade in Illi-
nois, he has devoted his life to the
breeding of high-class livestock. He
moved to Washington in 1902, and
brought with him registered Hereford
stock. He has no old stock whatever
on hand, and tells The Ranch that he
has some exceptionally fine young
bulls for this seasons service, all of
which he has bred himself.
| believe it would be worth while for
the people interested in the purchase
of good stock to at least communicate
with Mr.. Garrison, and if possible to
go and see his stock before buying.
G. S. Kellogg, of Portage, Maury
Island, called at The Ranch office
recently with some splendid samples
of Winter Banana and Baldwin ap-
plies, grown on his farm. Mr.. Kellogg
has made wonderful success of fruit
growing on Maury Island, producing
apples and peaches that compare ia.
vorably with any grown at Hood Riv.
er, Yakima or Wenatchee. The apples
brought in were as fine in size, flavor
and color as any we have seen. AS
to their keeping qualities, it is only
necessary to say that the samples
brought in were of the 1907 crop, and
have been kept in ordinary cellar
storage. They were in as perfect con
dition as though they had just been
picked from the trees. Mr.. Kellogg
states that he received the highest
price the market paid for any apples
Of the Northwest for his entire crop
He also produced Crawford Seeding
peach last year that Is remarkable for
size and quality. The success Mr.. KEEL
logg has made on Maury Island shows
what can be done west of the noun
tains when science and care are ap
piled to fruit growing. Later on The
Ranch will carry an article about Mr.
Kellogg's farm, which will be of in
terest to all Northwestern horticultur
lists.

NEW YORK, May 26. - The sig

stock market was the most hotaoie
feature about 1t today. Dizziness
oyercame the dealings after the ex-
perimental attempt to continue inc
advance of Yesterday. When 1t be-
came manifest that no important OPP
erations were following this rise In
prices IL was concluded that the
sponsors OF rhe market were satisfied
with the protection they had AFFORDED
against the acute depression at the
end Of last week. Their manifest dis
inclination TO follow the advance with
buying prompted the late fresh out
pouring Of stocks. Some infinence
was allowed to the sale OF Chicago
Burlington 4 Quincy bonds in caus-
ing early advance IN prices. Tne
subscriptions to $l6,O0O.O0O was an
nounced almost as soon as business
had commenced The subscription
price was S51s, as compared with 20

dated As were sold
London was q free seller Of stocks
here early In the day. Reports OF
food damage and the sensitiveness
Of the commodities market to crop
news were not regarded favoraoIy
Declines in discount rates In London
and Berlin marked the decreasing
force of the probable demand for gold
In New York. At the same time
Western money markets are showing
q gradual change In the course OF the

approach Of the crop moving season.
The late break in prices was
direct response to the contrary move
