here as | can in Ohio and feel better

But it is no summerland in winter
time; the thermometer registers zero,
and far below now and then. 1t is
too high. too crisp, too bright to be
compared to England or the island of
Jersey. 1t is like Colorado would be
with rain enough for crops to thrive,
and mile upon mile of land fit for the
plow. This land is most of it in
Washington; it laps over into Idaho.
Hence it is all alike called in a gen
eral way the Palouse country. Now
it has been renamed the Inland EN-

their land than these dwellers upon
the hills of Idaho and Washington.
They have good right.
What do they grow here? Wheat.
Wheat is the main crop, and with
many farmers the one crop grown.
That is because wheat is easily grown
with machinery, and requires ocmpara-
lively little labor Labor is hard to
get and dear out here. Hence men do
not do as we'll as they know, nor as
wll as they will some day. But they

they tell me. They grow wheat il
vast fields, and reap it with combined
harvesters and threshers. or else they
ut it with binders as we do at home.
They have the straw for live stock.
But wheat after wheat does not dc

seeking better methods.

PURCHASE POSTAGE STAMPS.

Postmaster Allen desires to call
attention to the practice of some pat
rons of rural delivery of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time they de-
sire to dispatch letters instead of sup
plying themselves with postage in ad-
vance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays them
on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand a
supply of stamps consistent with and
in advance of their needs. 1t is also
very desirable that rural patrons place
in their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to place
coins, when necessary, in purchasing
supplies of stamps.

Jos. E. Wing
Tells Of Palouse
Noted Agricultural Writer Gives An
Experts Impressions of the
Inland Empire.

Joseph E. Wing, the foted writer
on agricultural topics. and associate
editor of the Breeders Gazette. who
spent several days in Pullman a couple
of weeks ago. writes the following in
letter to his paper, giving his obser-
vations on the Palouse country:
"Seven years ago it was that Pro-
fessor Z. E. Elliott rove me across the
hills from Pullman, Wash, to Mos
COW. Idaho Then it was that first |
looked out with wonder upon this
strange land. Nothing like it exists, |
verify believe, in the world. 1t is a
country apart; its climate, soil and
outlook are unique l remember that
l was in raptures over this land seven
years ago. Now l can look at it
coolly, and tell the truth about it,.
First, what is it like? 1t is a high
bit of prairie, set $500 feet above the
sea. 1t is land all puckered and
wripkled up; the wrinkles are very
narrow valleys, mere ravines, usually.
about 300 feet deep. The swells be-
tween the ravines or valleys are the
farming land. But it is not like a
mesa country, for there is no uniform
ity of level. There are hills so high
that they become peaks and get COW
cred with pine. Men pillow to the tops
of most of the hills; they are rounded
and of gentle ascent. The soil is rich,
incredibly rich, to the tops of the hills.
Always there are glorious mountains
in sight, in one direction or another.
The soil as black or brown. 1t is por-
Gus, permeable, not clayey nor sandy
it does not erode; it was once covered
thickly with prairie grass. 1t is easy
to work and holds moisture. 1t sells
for from $50 to $1OO per acre.
"This country has climate like
what shall we say? Yesterday,
December 16, a few belated flowers
bloomed and apples hung unhurt on
the trees. Today it is cold, still
and sunny. Nearly every month in
summer sees a little frost in the hol-
lows. The Scotch broom grows when
planted, mulleins grow wild and blue
grass, but it does not thrive first rate,
for the summers are long and dry.
Orchards thrive wonderfully and yield
the largest, reddest apples, only ex-
celled by some other parts of this
same land. 1t is a land too cold for
big corn, warm enough for roses in
December, with sky bright enough
for Colorado. which it much resembles.

E;,.t Annual Indoor Meet Of Cadet
Companies Proves Inn
mense Success.

The first inter-company indoor ath-
,o+;c meet of the State College cadet
corps was held last night in the col
lege gymnasium before a crowded
house. B company carrying off first
bonors, and the success of the meet
will undoubtedly make it an annual
affair. The meet was interesting and
.t times spectacular, the friendly COM
many rivalry lending the necessary
stimulus and enthusiasm to the affair.
Capt. Mitchell has established a
keen interest in athletics among the
members of the several companies,
and the great success of last night
meet is in no small measure due to his
efforts That the cadet corps has
been we'll instructed in the manual
of arms and military maneuvers was
evidenced by the perfect exhibitions of
field hospital work and privates' drill.
The accurate and precise manner in
which every order was executed in the
manual drill was good to see and spoke
we'll for the efficient training which
the companies have had. In this event
the best drilled private from each COM
pany had been previously selected
and these men competed for inter
company honors. The exhibition of
resuscitating drowned man by the B
company team, winners of the first aid
to the wounded contest. was a great
education to the spectators and was
we'll performed.
The meet was pulled off without
delay and the events followed each
other in rapid succession. entirely do
ing away with the tedious intermis-
sions usually coupled with field meets.
The most exciting event of the eve
ming was the shoe race, in which about
fifty contestants participated. each
trying to locate his own shoes and at
the same time TO get those of his con-
temporaries as far out of the way as
possible.
The events and winners were as fol-
lows:

acre, and the subsequent crop of
wheat yielded 81 bushels per acre
this time the variety used was not so
productive as at the first experiment.
His experience leads him TO suggest
this rotation; wheat, oats. mixed
grasse with clovers three years. corn
IN rotation with potatoes, then wheat
again. He thinks that red clover will
endure for seven years in the soil.
and alfalfa is almost perpetual; it
runs full of blue grass after a time.
which is the one trouble. Professor
Elliott tells me that nearly all the
clovers thrive here. notably sainfoin,
the one spot in America that | know
where it surely does we'll.
Professor French has made exper-
lment that shows that wheat land crop
ped continuously for about 20 years
has lost a out half its producing pow
ers. So after all. rich as this land
is, it will only repeat the lesson we
learned in the Genesee valley of New
York and the San Luis valley in Col
orado, give it time. And here Cana
dian field peas revel. almost as thev
do in the sunny San Luis. Professor
French thinks soy beans also promis-
ing, though the season seems too cold
and short for their perfect develop
ment. But hogs here are almost per-
fectly healthy, there being no cholera
here unless imported. And there is
waste wheat in quantity, waste pota-
toes, too, and apples. 1t should rap
idly develop into a great hog country.
They get better prices for hogs than
we do east of the Rockies, and there
seems no danger of over supply. An
enormous amount of pork is demanded
in the lumber camps and mining gulch-
es.
An Illuminating talk was that
of C. l.. Smith Minnesota Smith on
the principles of pig feeding. Briefly
he emphasized the value of continuous
feeding, light of course, when on pas
ture. He told of a friend who had
sold pigs 223 days old that weighed 225
pounds and had eaten but 400 pounds
of grain each. They sold for 81. so
per cwt. and made a profit of $40 per
head, not charging them with pasture.
Another grain grower who was in the
habit of letting pigs run long in his
stubblefields, and who adopted the
plan of regular daily though small
feeding, found that by November his
hogs weighed more than they once did
by March.
Then the talk shifted to sheep, and
A. j. Whitten told of his ewes max
ing him a revenue, farm grown. of
$40 for each one kept, and that he
could keep three sheep to the acre.
The bugbear here is labor. Labor is
very scare and incredibly dear usual
ly. Maybe it is often unreliable
too. Men drift from farm to mine
and from mine to farms. Probably
the good men soon get Independent.
But with sheep, or pigs. or some such
help, one could do with less labor,
letting the animals help harvest.
