The hens distressed me greatly by

For breeders and layers I prefer feed

up quick, letting them get pretty hun

them and feed some of the mash be-
sides.

BETTERING CONDITIONS.

Editor The Ranch:
Complying with your letter of the
25th, l have read your editorial en-
titled Corporate Rapacity.''
The conditions outlined in this edi-
torial are not surprise to me, and I
feel that no person is to blame but
the shippers. | have been making
long, hard fight, largely single handed
and alone, and have obtained quite
few results. While this effort on my
part was being carried on, my dear
old friend, Mr.. Walden, was not taking
any part, although I will be very glad
to render him any assistance that
can.
This state is largely composed of
shippers. The various industries are
lumber, fish, coal, grain, fruit and veg
etables; every one of which it is nee
essary to ship. If the shippers stand
together they will demand and get the
consideration they are entitled to, but
if each one of us stands aloof when the
other fellow is making effort to better
his conditions, the results will not be
very encouraging. By united effort we
can get the treatment that we should
have.
We now have in the state of Wash
ington a most excellent railway COM
mission, but these men do not under
stand our troubles unless we explain
them fully.
In my judgment, there should be a
meeting called of the parties in inter
est, which will include many of the
large shippers, the Wenatchee and
Yakima, and other shippers of fruit,
the shippers of fish, and the shippers
of coal and lumber, to form an organ
ization that would get results. think
the people are in mood for meeting
of this kind, but Mr.. Walden alone
can accomplish very little. The Ranch
alone can accomplish but little more;
but if all the interests were united,
plished.
Railroads, as rule, don't give up
anything until compelled to. The peo-
pie of the state of Washington are pay
ing very large tribute to it's rail
roads,-much more than they should,
in my judgment,-but am afraid they
will not awake to their troubles in
the proper way until more of them are
are stung good and hard.
This is an age of the people ruling.
Are the people of the state of Wash
ington going to be in the vanguard, or
trailing along in the dust? | realize
that Mr. Walden is man of mature
years, but he has been a useful citi
zen in the state of Washington, there
fore he can round out his usefulness
by leading the balance of us to better
shipping conditions.
trust this letter answers your re-
quest as you desire.
With kind regards,
w. H. PAULHAMUS.

QUEER CRABS.
The Ingenious Manner In Which They
Disguise Themselves.

The ingenious Manner In Which They
Disguise Themselves.
Some species of crabs disguise them
selves in an ingenious manner. They
deliberately bite up seaweeds and
plant them on their backs, very soon
establishing a growth which harmo-
nizes perfectly with the surroundings
and deceives many an enemy. should
the weeds grow too vigorously the
crab industriously prunes them with
his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot of and starts a
fresh garden on his roof, SO to speak.
The sponge crab behaves in a SINH
lar manner. nfpping off little bits Of
living sponge and sticking them on his
back, where they grow vigorously.
The same end is served as in the other
case. 1t is very amusing to keep crabs
of one or other of these kinds in an
aquarium and deprive them of the
usual means of concealment.
They get very nervous and agitated
and try to cover themselves with bits
Of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said
to have had a little greatcoat made
for him, which he put on In a hurry
as soon as it was handed to him.

OLD TIME PRICES.
Glimpse of the Days When Living Was
Cheap In England.

Glimpse of the Days Wren Living Was
Cheap In England.
Old time hotel rates in England were
low. For instance, in the days of
Queen Elizabeth the charge at the
George inn for a feather bed per
night was a penny. Dinner cost six
pence az cents and offered choice of
beef, mutton or pigge or fish," In
Stuart times each room owned name
instead Of a number. chiefly those of
inn signs, such as the Cross Keys
room. the Bell chamber, the Adam and
Eve room, and SO forth.
Formerly the custom in important
cities during festival times was to linn
1t the price of food and lodging by
statute. In Canterbury during the eel.
ebration OF the bicentenary of Becket's
translation 1372) the price of bread
was fixed at two loaves for penny
e cents, a fairly high figure consid-
ering the comparative value of money
then and now. and wine brought 16
cents a gallon.
A century or so later the scale of
prices In Edinburgh all the year round
was equally moderate. sheep being sold
at prices ranging from II cents to 20
cents according to quality. "best hens"
at / cent each and Rochelle wine at l
