of this loss, is in the police reguia-
lions in the different states, which
are enforced upon dairymen. While
The Ranch does not approve OF un-
sanitary milk, it is certain that many
of the measures taken by the state
and federal authorities, are unneces-
sarily severe. Drastic measures are
enforced without regard to the
rights of the daiIymen, or reason
ableness of the order. To our person
al knowledge one dairyman was order
ed to fill in ditch in which stagnant
water stood, by the railroad track,
where he unloaded his milk. Other
equally absurd orders have been issued
to dairymen. One trouble is that
too many of the men appointed are
young men who are inexperienced, but
who have high regard for their
own Importance.
The state legislature should adopt
some plan to repay the stockmen
where stock is killed on order of the
state, on account of contagious dis
eases. The grangers of the state are
demanding that law, modelled after
the Wisconsin law, be made law in
this state. Many states have taken
up this matter of repaying to stock
men reasonable amount when stock
is ordered slaughtered. OF all states,
Wisconsin, which by the way is one of
the most progressive dairy states in
the Union, has pei haps the hest one.
State inspectors are not allowed to
slaughter animals until after proper
tests have been made, and then a
reasonable amount is paid to recon-
pense the owner for the slaughtered
animal. In this state we have seen
dairy herd which had taken years
of time and much money to get to-
gether, slaughtered for tuberculosis
and thus destroyed life long work
without recompense. This is unjust
and should not continue.

One of the saddest features of farm
ing life in the west and especially in
the Mississippi valley states, is to
see the best farmers selling their
lands and farms and moving across
the line into Canada. They go across
because land is Oh cap there, and
their old farms have probably been
robbed of their fertility. Twenty five
years ago, the movement was from
the New England states to the Mis-
sissippi valley states, and thousands
of worn out farms in the great states
of New York and Pennsylvania, are
now practically worn out.
New England, however, has taken
a new ster, and the "back to the
farm movement" is receiving great

TIE state supreme court has decid-
ed that the state grain law is uncon
stitutlonal The opinion was written
by Judge Chadwick, and affirmed the
Judgment of the superior court of
Pierce county. The case arose when
the question of whether a shipper,
owning grain, shipped to himself,
was obliged to pay inspection fees,
and the court decided he was not. A
warehouse in eastern Washington,
sent a carload of wheat at Crescent
billed to Tacoma. The railroad COM
pany refused to deliver it until the
inspection fee was paid. The ware
house demanded delivery the railroad
company set up the defense which
requires them to collect the fee before
delivering. The railroad commission
thinks the decision annuls the entire
law, and a modified law will be made
to protect the men who ship without
the purchase price fixed in advance.

Happily the old method is passing
The men who are now planting or
chards in western Washington, are
planting those varieties which have
proven to be successful. The trouble
is that there are thousands Of acres
of trees which are practically worth
less, and must be destroyed or retop
ped, which means several years of
waiting.

Farmers Not to Blame.

One of the able addresses made be-
fore the Farmer Union, at their
great meeting at st. Louis, Mo. was
made by Secretary Wilson of the Ag-
ricultural Department at Washington,
D. G.
Secretary Wilson devoted large
part of his address to defense of the
farmers, when charged that they were
responsible for the high cost of
living. He called attention to the
fact that the country is in a most
critical condition, because our popu-
lation is increasing at so much greater
ratio than the products of the farms
He recalled the fact that our popula-
tion is incl easing over two millions a
year. while agricultural products are
increasing at very small ratio. He
said of the IA states in the Mississippi
valley, not one produces half the crops
they should and said that if proper
farming vas done, we would produce
products for 200, 600, 900 people.
One paragraph should be taken to
heart by every person who reads this
article He said, "the Government
is using every effort to improve the
soil, and is accomplishing wonderful
results, but there remains other things
to be done. We are forgetting the
old home economics. We buy too
much in paper bags, forgetting the
sacks and barrels. One of the best
things he could recommend, would
be to appoint a committee to study
the economics of the home. Rice
sold in Louisiana at 2 cents per
pound costs cents in the North in a
paper bag
The Wall street Journal gives
abundant proof also when it states
that 1000, 600, 900 was paid out
last year for farm products, while the
farmer himself received only So, 600, =
OOO,O The difference from four to
five millions, represents the amount
paid for transportation and wholesal-
ers. 1t will readily be seen that the
farmer is not getting even his share
to say nothing of undue profits.
Frank Flood, manager of the Broad
way Dairy of Spokane, one OF the
largest dairy concerns in the Pacific
Northwest, in a recent article pro.
duces some remarkable figures, re-
garding the cost of daily products.
He called attention to statement is
sued by professor of Cornell uni
versity, "that $500, 600, 600 in dairy
products were produced last year,
but that they were produced at loss
of 500, 600, 900, and he could present
proof of this statement. One reason

A poultry woman at Rainier writes
The Ranch that several of her neigh

Philo system of raising poultry. OF
course they are losing their money and
time. No poultryman with grain of

The Political Outlook.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 81.
All is activity at the capitol city as
the day of election approaches. The
campaign has been hot one thus far
and the people have taken an active
interest in the issues. At republican
headquarters, the feeling is that the en-
tire republican ticket will be reelected
with much larger majority than ever
before in the history of the state. This
sentiment has been crystallized by the
state, reports have been received to the
effect that Governor Brady will be con-
tinued in Office and with him will the
rest of ticket be elected.
Even in localities where the demo-
Gratis have claimed as their strongholds,
representative men visitors in the
capitol city, report to be very strong
for the present administration. They
claim that Governor Brady had made
an excellent executive; has fulfilled
every party pledge and has at all
times worked in the interests of the
people in the state. His attitude on
matters which pertain to the general
welfare of the people of the north as
well as the south, has at all times been
one of great personal interest, these
( men say and in the following terse
statements of these men, they all pre-

eral election.

The very gratifying rise in the
price of silver the past few weeks
must be very encouraging to the
producers of the white metal.
The price has risen to 26 3-16d.
on the London market and Sc ga
cts at New York. This is the
highest point reached since Feb.
Ia, 1908 when the price was
quoted at 81 cts. 1t is generally
believed that the present advance
was caused largely by the tight
ness of the silver money market
in China, but whatever the cause
American producers will reap a
large benefit.

1t is interesting to observe the re-
cent disposition to lament what was
regarded, in the formation of the
constitution. as one of Its funda-
mental and most essential principles
the distinct separation of the ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial de-
partments of the government. So
deeply rooted in this conception in
our whole American system that we
have come to regard 1t as funia-
mental and indisputable. We have
even tried to apply it, unreasonably,
to municipal corporations, but that
was mainly because no other theory
of popular government appeared pos
sible.
1t seems a rapid stride to the pres
ent point where the executive not
only assumes the general direction
and suggestion of legislation, but
actually submits bills for enactment
by congress as administration meas
ures." 1t Is true that this Is done
by the ministry under the English
system, but there the ministry Is
only committee of the parliament.
