The exceptionally large attendance
at the afternoon and evening perfor-
mances of the moving pictures and

vincing evidence that the present bill
which terminates this evening is one
of the best bills now touring the cir
cult as business getter and audi
ence satisfier. The Kaiser's Terriers,
a set of II highly intelligent canine
performers, Is one of the greatest
cards leaving the office of the United
Booking. Rosener and Hillman in
their superfine character acting is also
one of the best numbers ever seen in
this theater. Their character sketch
taken from Little Lord Fauntleroy"
representing some of the leading char
acters is fine bit of work and one
that brings them great applause. The
pictures are also in keeping with the
standard of the vaudeville. No pic

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-01-01
AMERICAN SAW MILLS

when the rival methods are in opera
ton in different or widely separated
fields, the poor man who wants to
clear his land and desires to find out
which is the best, most effective and
most economical method, remains in
open mouthed bewilderment and
indecISion.
Now, however, the Washington
Logged Off Land association is taking
the problem in hand and proposes to
have the various methods finally and
conclusively demonstrated in competi-
ton, all at the same time in one
uniform, fair and impartial field.
This interesting and important con-
test is to be held at Bellevue, east
Seattle, about the middle of the pres
ent month january and all pIopon
ents of methods of clearing land are
invited to participate. Anyone in
terested in the subject should call on
or correspond with Secretary George
e. Boos, 1102 American Bank build
Ing, Seattle, who is in charge of the
arrangements for the contest, which
promises to be the most potent in

Western Washington.

ers' boys going into the city often
make wonderful successes, far out
stripping the city bred boys but this
is due more often to the fact that he
brings good health, strong consti-
tuition and a sturdy independence
brought about by the conditions Of
fran life which no city bred boy ever
gets.
1t is for this reason that we have SO
much faith IN the future of the
American farmer and are SO anxious
to see the farmers boy attend the col
leges and especially the agricultural
colleges.
There is another matter for cOnsld-
Grafton which is that the men of the
city who have made a success in their
several lines of their profession and IN
business are anxious to return to the
soil and are today our most progress
sive farmers. The greatest drawback
they find is the lack of young men
who are capable of handling farms in
the proper manner and raising live
stock successfully. No young man to-
day who will study carefully the agri
cultural problem either in college or
at home and proves that he is sue
cessful agriculturalist need be out of
a Job, for the demand for such men
far exceeds the supply. In fact, our
agricultural colleges find it impossible
tn keep their best men for the reason
that large farmers and large stock
breeders will offer more pay. Every
president of the agricultural colleges
has more demand for good agricultur-
alists among it's graduates than he can
supply. There is not such scarcity
in other professions. We have doc
tors, lawyers and other professional
men to spare, but wide-awake n en- to
take charge of farms are decidedly
scarce. 1t is for this reason that we
wish to impress on the boys of the
farm the necessity of studying and
making better farmers.

BOYS Should Learn Better
Farming.

The boy on the farm should study
we'll the fact that one of the greatest
railway systems of the United States
thinks so much of the work done IN the
agricultural colleges, that it is giving
away eighteen scholarships in one OF
the state agricultural colleges.
TO the farmer boy who goes out
early IN the mornings and milks the
COWS before daylight and whose chores
are apparently never done, it is some
times hard to impress upon his mind
the fact that agriculture is one of the
noblest if not the noblest, profession
in the world. But the fact is that to-
day the most profitable profession the
Young man OF average ability can learn
is the profession of agromony or agrl-
culture. The millions in the city
must be fed; they must be clothed;
their wants must be supplied and
practically all of this feed, clothes
etc. must come from the soil. The
soil must be made to produce more
than it ever has done; waste land must
be brought into cultivation and all
lands must be made to produce all OF
which they are capable.
Farming in the old slipshod "rube"
manner is rapidly passing away and
the farmer is becoming business
man. With the rural delivery, the
telephone and good roads, farmers
are making wonderful progress in
these United States and fifty years
hence methods that have been in
vogue heretofore will not lie tolerated.
They will not be tolerated for the
reason that the old style farmer will
not be in existence. The farmer who
makes the money is the student who
studies soil, conditions and markets
for all of which the agricultural col
leges are opening vast field. They
are nearly all supported by the states

Conquering The Wilderness.

Ever since 1903, when a Skagit
county man with donkey on his
hands invented the donkey enigne
method of clearing the heavily
timbered lands of the Puget Sound
country, there has been controversy
as to just bow much if any better the
new system is than the several print
tive and much practiced ones. Since
then. too, there have been invented
new devices for the humiliation or
tearing asunder of the big fir AMI
cedar stumps, and as the devotees of

The Ranch is pleased to inform its
patrons that Ira p. Whitney, dairy
man of the Washington State Agricul-
ture College has consented to edit the
dairy department of the Ranch. Ever
since the new proprietor took charge
of the Ranch, he has been trying to
get a good practical dairyman to take

has never been succe ssful until now.
