VALUE OF DAIRY SCHOOLS

IT is possible that there is many a
young man who has worked a couple
OF years under a good butter maker
or cheese maker who never went to
any dairy school. and who, in the pride
of his success. makes light OF their
value, just as he does the dairy papers.
This young man Is liable to hesitate
TO lose" Ias he calls 10 the time and
wages and the savcd-up capital nee
essary 10 take a term at the dairy
school.
We use the term lose because VIC
have heard that expression used by
many OF the class referred 10 above ;
the proper word Is Invest" and ii
mighty good investment that few men
take one term but that they are anX-
ious to take another,
The value of the dairy school IS not
so much in what the students actually
learn i'm practice and theory. but that
they learn to work with their brain
more. learn to work intellisently. and
learn 10 continue their own education
by reading technical papers and books
and thus acquire Il desire for an in
vestigation OF the why's and where
fores of every little phenomenon OBJ
! scrvablc during their daily work
1t is not only from the teachers that
they receive their education. but IL is
from their follow students. who have
worked under various conditions; In
deed, we feel inclined to believe that
this Is really the most valuable part of
the course.
We do not hesitate 10 urge the young
men in the creamcries and cheese fac
tories. as well rs all young farmers. TO
attend the dairy schools, even at \
most serious sacrifice. 1t viii be the
best Investment they VIII ever be able
to makc.-B. L. Lara.

ADAPT FERTILIZERS TO SOILS
Select a Fertilizer to Build Up
the Soil Rather Than to Grow
d Certain Crop.

II would be much better it the users
ol commercial fertilizers would get into
inc habit OF adapting the fertilizer TO
the soil instead OF seeking a fertilizer
that - adapted TO the crop grown
Ihe object In using fertilizer should
De the building up OF the soil rather
1han growing certain crop. and fer
tillHer which viii balance UP the plant
iood already In the soil is an cconomi-
cal FERTILIZER to use on any crop, since
the effects or its application viii show
on any crop that Is adapted TO the
locality
y farmer cannot afford 10 buy all OF
the plant food that his crop will use in
It's growth. Then why should be buy
anything that his soil will furnish 10
the crop In sufficient quantities?
True. some crops will take more Of 4
certain element OF plant food than an
other viii. Some crops have the power
OF getting more food from A soil than
others have.
1t Is better TO remedy this by adopt-
Ing a tudicious rotation of crops in
which leGumes viii come in frequently.
The leSumes viii supply the nitrogen
and help 10 keep up the humuS supply.
IL Is unfortunate FOR the farmer that
the fertilizer manufacturers have
adopted the plan OF recommending GER
tain mixtures for special crops and thus
presume TO adapt the fertilizer TO the
crop rather than to sell the goods on
their merits for the nitrogen, potash
and phosphorus acid they contain and
leave the farmer to select the goods
best adapted TO his son and conditions
The plan of adopting the fertilizer to
the soil would induce more study on
the subject OF fertilizers and would lead
to moro intelligent use OF fertilizers
Too many farmers depend cnurcIy
upon the manufacturers of fertilizers
TO select the goods for them.

THOUGHT SHE WAS ALL RIGHT

Railway men arc so accustomed Ia
communicate with each other by means
of gestures that the habi, OF looking for
such dumb signals becomes n kind oi
second nature. A complaint was re-
ceiVcd at headquarters that a valuable
cow had been Killed on a certain day
and by certain engine. Investigation
showed that the engineer had failed To
report such an accident. Accordingly
he was sent for and asked why he had
omitted TO report the matter
"I didn't know 1 hurt the cow" he
said.
Then YOU remember hitting herr"
Yes. and I slowed up as she rolled
over on her back. but she waved her
feet for me TO go ahead, and so / con-
cluded she was all right"

WIRE WORMS IN THE CORN

Michigan man writes that he
cleared his ground of wire worms after
he. as well as several of his farmer
neishbors. had lost their planted seed
entirely and had to repIant two or
three times on account of the pests.
He never had any moro trouble with
them.
His method requires hard work and
time. but better leave the ground idle
than plant garden crops TO feed To the
wire worms and grubs.
AS soon as a crop is removed from
the ground, cultivate Immediately bv
spadinG or plowing il the tract Is a
large one.
Roll. drag and roll again to hold the
moisture. so all weeds will at once
start 10 grow.
In September give II another very
thorough working, which destroys all
the weeds that might grow the next
spring.
Wire worms thrive in woody. dirtv
soil. but after following the above plan
ono may plant anything and have no
fear of the worms getting the crop.

COL. WILLIAM
STEWART BACK
IN SPOTLIGHT
Friends Working for Briga-
der General Title for the
Hated Enemy of Colonel
Roosevelt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 49,
Colonel William Stewart, enemy of
Roosevelt and exile to rattlesnakes,
tarantulas and an Arizona desert,
Is back in the limelight.
Stewart was placed forcibly on
the retiring list without being ac-
corded an opportunity to undergo
the usual riding and endurance
tests.
His friends are making every ef-
fort to secure for him the rank of
brigadier-general retired. Previous
to his examinations by the army
retiring board Stewart was ordered
to take a 90-mile horseback riding
test at Fort Grant, Ariz. The ex-
aiming physician refused to per-
NIT him to make the test, declaring
his physical condition was such
that It might endanger his life.
A bill to advance the rank of
Colonel Stewart to brigadier gen.
eral has been introduced in the
house by Congressman Kahn of
California, and in the senate by
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon.
Colonel Stewart now lives in Wash
ington, where he has ridden more
than 1000 miles and walked 1900
during the last year, TO justify his
recent contention that he was
physically fit to continue his army
duties.

CLEARLY UNFAIR.
CONDITIONS
CONCERNING THE BURIAL OF
COUNTY DEAD

at Is manifestly unfair for county
deaths to be turned over to fav-
ored undertaken, held for a few
days pending investigation for rela-
tives to pay for burial, and then
turn the body over to the county
undertaken" declared County Com
missioner j. s. Philips this morn
ing, when speaking in reference to
the MerrervilIe case, where the
body of the suicide was turned over
to Alexander TurnbuII by Coroner
SchIegel, and when no relatives
could be found, Undertaken Bu-
chanan was notified to take the
body away and bury it at the county
expense.
Il don't blame Buchanan for re-
fusing to accept the body" contin-
ued Phillips. Our agreement with
him was that he should secure all
of the coroner cases and we mott.
fiedCOroner Schlegel to that effect.
The reason Buchanan offered to
bury the county dead for $40 per
body was with the understanding
that he should be allowed to realize
on bodies claimed by relatives for
burial. Smith & Co. buried the dead
free of charge because of the pos
sibility of friends or relatives turn
ing up to give the bodies decent
burial"
So that's the way the matter
stands. Until Coroner Schlegel be-
gan to give cases to different un-
dertakers (rumor has it that all
cases with good prospects Of finan-
cial returns were given to them) ;,
the Smith company buried the bod
les free of charge.
The body of suicide Messerville
was turned over to Turnbull by Cor
oner Schlegel and when no friends
or relatives could be found, Bu-
chanan was instructed to take the
body and bury it.
The commissioners are deter
mined that the matter shall be set
tied once and for all and are ready
to fight any action commenced by
Turnbull or the coroner to secure
the money for the Messerville
burial.

NOTHING DOING
ON DEPORTATION

Nothing will be done In the mat.
ter of deporting foreigners who
participated In the street speaking
controversy. which step is advo-
Gated In a resolution filed for pres
entation to the city council by Cap
tain John Gray, councilman from
the Second ward.
The police department some
time ago took this matter mp with
the United States immigration or
ficers in Spokane and the govern
ment's men refused to act. deeming
that the violation of Spokane's
street speaking ordinance was not
sufficient ground to run man out
of the country.
