hope to get the best of all our trou- | bles shortly"
 Asked when construction would com mence at the south end of the road district and work north from Phoenix, Mir Heard replied: That depends on the action of the other two trustees. Personally l have been in favor of commencing work at the south end of our district for a lcng time and
 have so voted at the board meetings.
 This seems to me the logical, just and practical thing to do; it would give to the citizens of Phoenix, whose co-op- eration we need, an object lesson of a first class oil macadam highway, and am very hopeful that on considering the situation more fully the other trustees may agree with me and we may take unanimous action along these lines at our meeting next Saturday"
 MT. Heard further stated: If when the present two and five-eighths miles of road in the north end is open for traffic, we should begin in the south end of the district. building north, We would have sufficient money, together with our investment in equipment and quarry plant to build the road from the south end of the district to a point about a quarter of a mile north of the Indian school corner. That would leave a gap to be completed from the south end of Orangewood to that point, or about one and three quarter miles, as suming that the road cost the same per mile as it has cost thus far. With the experience that we have now gained and the great increase in economy at the present quarry. I think we shall be able to keep within this expense, despite the additional haul. To com plete this gap of one and three-quarters miles in first class shape, would make make it necessary for us to raise Sl2,- 600 more than we now have in sight, but after building the two and half miles north from the south end of the district, we would have given the peo- ple of Phoenix such an object lesson of value of this road that l do not think it would be difficult to pI omptly raise this money, as I understand the people in the north end of the district would be ready to contribute very liberally, as the road is now costing them but a small share of it's actual cost"

 The little girls father had heard her scream and ran across the field to her rescue. He was not as quick as the horse, however. Dan checked his gait whirled, and was at his friends side before other help could arrive. When the father reached the scene he found Dan protectingly beside the child and was met with look of unmistakable tenderness and anxiety in the great beautiful eyes.
 The little girl is a young woman now. the father is an older man and Dan Patch's fame as the greatest of all har- ness horses is known around the world. but there are at least two of the trio who never forgot the incident in the Indiana pasture and every new laurel won by the peerless pacer brings joy to Dams two loyal friends.
 This was but a beginning and since he has become the undisputed monarch of the harness horse world, hundreds and thousands of women and children all over the country have rendered homage to the horse whose lovableness equals his speed. Whether in his sta ble. in the paddock. or jogging on the track. Dan Patch is always the polite host to feminine admirers. He bows to their plaudits and is willing to eat all of their sweets that get past his attendants.
 Dan Patch in his role of chairman of the reception committee and master of ceremonies for the NJ. w Savage combination of world famous pacers will have more time than ever before to entertain and be petted by his fem mine admirers. He will hold regular receptions during the fair and be glad to see any of the ladies who are glad to see him.

Mr.. Greisen on Packing.

This very interesting talk took place
at the Horticultural short course, held
at the court house last Wednesday, by
man who knows. Mr.. Greisen is in
terested in one of the biggest associa-
tions of the northwest, and his talk
should be of value to our readers who
are interested in that line:
"The pack adopted by the Hood River
Apple Growers union has been pattern
ed after the California orange pack and
is now US led quite generally throughout
the northwest. 1t is a strictly fancy
pack and appeals directly to the best
class of trade In the London market
where our apples are all sold at auction
it was the only pack that sold without
inspection, because the buyers recog-
nized it and knew that the apples were
as represented, and true to name.
Eleven thousand carloads of this pack
were shipped from the northwest dur
ing the past season. Before the organi-
zation of the Apple Growers union at
Hood River and the adoption of the
diagonal pack their fancy Spitzenberg
apples brought only IS cents per box,
while last year since the organization
and pack have been perfected their best
fancy apples sold for s3.37l2 per box,
and averaged for all varieties 81. S5 per
box.
The marketing of the apple begins
in the orchard, and the man with the
small orchard, who devotes his time to
intensive systems of fruit growing, is
The Delta independent., 1910-02-04

the man who makes the greatest sue
cess. The apples are carefully thinned
to develop color in the apple, secure a
higher percentage of apples free from
worms, and develop better size. The
apples are picked into pals or baskets
to prevent bruising, it being found that
picking bags bruise the apples to a
greater extent. The apples are taken
from the pals and placed into the or
chard boxes by hand to avoid bruising,
as all bruised apples must be consigned
to the choice apples instead of fancy
When the apples are ready to be packed,
girls are employed to wipe them, using
cotton gloves. This wiping removes
spray material and gives better ap-
pearance to the fruit when placed on
qualities. The apples are then graded
according to class, as fancy or choice,
and again according to size. The fancy
apple must possess 75 per cent color or
better, and free from all defects and
bruises. When being packed the apples
are all wrapped. each paper bearing the
label of the growers union, and besides
protecting the apple, serves as an eN-
cellent advertisement.
The diagonal style of pack is used,
the apples being placed with cheek out,
and so placed that the apples above do
not lie directly above those below,
This reduces the danger of bruising in
transit and adds very much to the APP
pearance of the pack. By being placed
cheek out, there is no danger of stem
bruising after being packed.
The packer then places his number in
one corner of the box. the Inspector
places his number in another corner
The grower adds his stencil as he nails
the cover on and finally the association
places his label with the name of the
apple and number of apples in the box.
BY using this system of marking. any
defective apples can be traced back to
the packer and inspector. and is an in
centive to the best work
Girls are not employed as packers.
The packers are paid 81. so to So 90 per
day instead of by the box, and no pack
eris allowed to pack more than so boxes
per day. This method is a guard against
carelessness as compared with our sys-

Horse manure is very dry and loose
in texture and difficult to mix with
litter. Hence it heats rapidly, fermen-
tation sets in and the ammonia it con-
tain escapes into the air and is lost.
There is so much difference in the
composition of milk from different
cows that many large butter and cheese
factories now test all the milk they buy,
and pay for it according to its butter
fat content.
The best way to fatten young stock
to secure a.maxmum profit is to feed
them wei! from the start. Whether it
be young cattle or lambs, they should
be liberally fed from the beginning of
the feeding period.

Western Beef Finds
Good Eastern Market.

Western beef is coming into its own.
Not over decade ago Eastern buyers
purchased range-bred steers only when
they were unable to fill their feed pens
from other sources. and usually offered
a much lower price for this class of
stock than they were willing to pay for
that secured from other places.
Experience has taught these buyers.

steers are usually in the very best of

and boned. and being accustomed to

Western steer only demands that he be
given plenty of good fresh water and
sufficient feed so that he may never be
hungry and he will always give good
account of himself and return many
dollars in profits to the feeder when he
is sold for the block in the spring.
These steers shed early under favor
able conditions, and when they have
reached the stockyards they show an
exterior finish that other cattle, lacking
the same health and ruggedness, fail to
show. This makes the Western steers

they have been butchered the percent

Immediately attract the attention of
those keen, far-six xhted men who handle

The settle nent of the West is rapidly
reducing the amount of available range
and is forcing the cattle to go higher
and higher into the hills in search of
forage. This is greatly increasing the
Importance of freely utilizing the ranges
within the National Forests, and every
endeavor is being made by the Forest
Service to open hitherto inaccessible
ranges by the construction of trails and
bridges, and unused arid ranges by the
development of water. In these higher
elevations the grass is usually much
finer in quality and more nutritious,
while the climate is much more rigor
Gus, both of which conditions result in
the animals being in better health and
having more solid flesh when placed on
the feeder markets in the fall. This
fall has seen large numbers of the
range bred steers. most of which come
from ranges within National Forests,
topping the feeder markets at all
points where feeder steers are sold.
So great has become the demand for
cattle of the quality mentioned that
hundreds of stockmen throughout the
West are selling their punches of stock
cattle and are beginning TO handle
steers exclusively. On the old ranges
where a few years ago one was accus-
toned to see lsrge herds Of cows and
calves, you will find today equally large
punches made up entirely of steers.
some of which may perhaps have come
from Old Mexico, some from Texas,
while Arizona and New Mexico usually
furnish their quota. These steers are
brought into these Western ranges at
from is months to two years old. They
become acclimated the first year.
The demand for cattle of this kind is
greater than the supply. and as in all
other cases where the demand is great
er than the supply the price received
on sale must constantly increase. That
this is true of the steer business, one
can easily ascertain through converse
ton with any one of the Western stock
men who makes this business. They
will tell you that they have made more
money in the last two or three years in
handling steers than they made in ten
years in handling strictly stock cattle.

TEN of packing "by the box" A sys-
TEN of promotion is also used as an in
centive to better work. When a man
proves himself proficient as a packer
he is given a position as inspector, with
better pay.
One inspector is employed to watch
tour packers. and is responsible for the
work. He packs no apples hims"If. In
add ton there are employed rider in
spectors who go from one ranch to
another and may drop in at any time.
There are also inspectors at the ware
house, who look after the interests
there. These inpectors and packers
work for the growers union and not
for the grower whose apples are being
packed, and no grower is allowed to
pack his own apples.
The apple boxes cost to 13 cents
each and the total expense involved in
putting up the pack, including the cost
of the box, is approximately 81 cents.
The packed box weighs so to 55 pounds.
Two sizes of boxes are used, the stand
ard box, containing 2,200 inches and the
special box, cont aiming 2,173 cubic
inches, exclusive of the bulge. A bulge
of one-half to three-fourths inch is
given. AS compored with these boxes,
the Colorado box contains 2.430 cubic
inches; the proposed Lafean box con-
tains 2,34O cubic inches, and the Win
