WenatcIlee Soils.

Wenatchee Soils.
/ 'Wenatchee Soils - Experiments
for Eighth Grade Pupils" was the
subject discussed by r. E. Tumble
before the grammar section this
morning. Mr. Tumble said that soil
study is most fundamental and must
+ be taken up before many other hor-
! ticultural subjects can be under
stood
The interesting side of soil work
should be presented first in order to
tide the boy over the more uninter-
esting subjects.
! The thirteen soil foods were taken
up. These are the following: Nj
phosphoric acid. lime. magnesia. sui
/ phur. iron peroxide, soluble SILICA,
chlOrin. sodium. The analysis of
Wenatchee soils was presented AMI
the exact amount of the various
/ plant foods in our soil was shown
| The subjest of soil bacteria was dis
cussed at length. He stated that all
| plant and animals would die of it
We're not for soil bacteria which re-
! plenishes the constant loss of nitro
gen, and that we would be living in
the land of the dead if it were not
for the decomposing bacteria that
reduces all dead plant and animal
bodies back to the original elements
The process of nitrification was ex-
planned: how four different groups
acts on organized animal and vege-
table compounds and change COM
bined humic nitrogen to available
nitrate.

The above subject was discussed
this afternoon by Deputy State Su-

item on the program. which came too

by Miss Catherine Montgomery, OF

comparison of English and American
schools.

schools, is the principal instructor
and speaker of the day. His address
this morning on Education for Eff
ficiency,' given before the general
assembly, was an exceptionally strong
one.
The superintendent pointed out
that many people in this age were
inefficient; that superintendent were
looking constantly for efficient teach
ers; that churches were looking for
efficient pastors; that business houses
were on a constant look out for eff
ficient men and women
He gave a very able and interest
ing discussion in which he proved
that education for efficiency meant
the humble doing of every days work
well. Constant good hard daily
work was the key to success.
He later gave an instructive talk
before the high school section on the
subject, High School instruction and
Discipline .

DAIRY cow GAINS IN VALUE
Present System Of Test Records Re-
sponsbIe for Most Of Recent De-
veIopment in Industry.

tBy B. H RAWL. Chief of Dairy Division
of Bureau of Animal Industry
There has been wonderful advance
in the quality Of dairying cattle dur
ing the last few years.
The various breeds are improving
and there are more big records now
than ever before. Splendid records
were made during the worlds fair in
Chicago but the succeeding generation
Of cows did much better at the ST.
Louis exposition. We have a number
of cows today that can do better than
the holders of the old time records
that stood for years.
The present system of test records
is the cause of most of the recent de-
velopment. We have the ring show,
where the animals are judged on ap-
pearance. and in addition there are
the yearly records that tell the pro-
duotive capacity of the COW. The COW
of today is far superior to the animal
of the same breed twenty or thirty
years ago as her capacity and effec-
tiveness are much greater Without
the use of the accurate records many
dairyman would be deceived regard
ing the value of his cows. BY means
of records we are able to weed out the
poorer individuals of the different
breeds and the result is becoming ap-
parent with remarkable rapidity.
One of the most important features
# modern dairying is the building up
of herds by crossing with highly pro-
ductive stock. Grade cows, or those
that are partly of high class stock,
are exceedingly valuable as producers.
The improvement in dairy conditions
has been gradual, but not nearly as
rapid as we wish. Some of the dairy
men have not taken advantage Of
what is now within easy reach. There
IS still much room for improvement
In general conditions.

ARRANGE FLOWERS HASTILY DRESS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
A Little Thought and Time Alone
Necessary to Produce An Ar
tlstlc Effect.

A knack for arranging flowers may
be developed into great gift by. the
girl who wishes to add to her per.
sonality the charm Of varied accom-
plishments.
Even In elaborate establishments
the most exquisite and expensive hot
house blossoms are often poorly ar
ranged. They are left to servants
who are ignorant Of artistic effect,
and SO lose half their beauty.
If a girl has pretty gift Of this
sort she may often have occasion to
use it at weekend parties and SO lift
a large item Of worry from the har-
assed mind of the house party hostess
and at the same time gain for her
self the reputation Of being most
satisfactory guest
At country houses where flowers
are brought every day from the hot
houses only a little time every morn
ing need be given to seeing that the
vases are freshly filled and taste dis
played in their arrangement. But If
one is staying in simpler house
then more time is required for the
exercise Of this happy gift, as the
flowers must be picked as well as ar
ranged.
If there Is clock and pair OF can
dlesticks or vases of bronze on the
mantle, surround them with ivy or a
groundwork Of caladium leaves. filled
in with the clusters of pink dahlias,
which must be put into small bowls
of water that are hidden by the
greenery. Or, remove the ornaments
and have seven white candles gradu-
ated in pyramid fashion, the tallest in
the center. Each candle must be
stuck firmly into small can filled
with sand and hidden by the foliage.
The floral arrangements should
conform with the candles, graduating
In pyramid style. This arrangement
has striking effect at night when
the same flowers are piled in like
manner on the dinner table.
A more simple idea can be carried
out by filling shallow pan with wet
sand and Embedding the candles in
this. Then fill the pan with flowers
or merely asparagus fern in the CEN
ter with border of white, pink or
yellow chrysanthemums, set singly
and primly in.

@DoPE' FED TO DAIRY COWS
Manufacturers Of Prepared Feeds
Should Be Compelled to Give
Amount Of Grain in Mixture.
tBy M, w. kelley

The mixing of prepared dairy feeds
is becoming about like the mixing of
commercial fertilizers-simply the
amount of protein and CARBOHYDRATES
required by the analysis, with any old
kind of material used for filters. 1t is
time that we had laws compelling the
manufacturers of these prepared dopes
to explain just how much of each kind
of grain entered into the mixture.
There is something radically wrong
when large milling company viii pay
SIS ton for oat hulls and $50 a ton
for the dust that comes on oats to use
in preparing feed mixture that far
mers are paying $50 ton for. Where
l live can see every day tons of cas
hulls and dust being hauled to fac
tory where carloads of these mixed
feeds are being prepared. Is it any
wcnder that we have sick animals and
that new diseases are constantly crop
ping out when we feed these poison
dopes?

Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood

function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
