Worlds Wheat Crop, 1909.

Broomhalls final estimate of the
1903 wheat crop of the world places
the total wheat production of the
wheat acreage of the world at 3,347,-
100000 bushels, an increase of 1885,
100000 bushels over the production in
1908, 27,O00, 900 bushel increase over
the crop of 1907. The production in
Europe aggregated 1,S72.0O0,00O bush
els. being 16O,OOO,OOO bushels over the
1908 crop. The crops of North and
South America reaches 1,040,000,0 900
bushels, or SO,OOO,OOO bushels over last
year. 1t is likely that this great pro-
duction will not be more than enough
to supply the demands of the worlds
population.

HOW West Has Developed.

Five years ago it was freely predict
ed that land values in the West had
reached their height. but they are 20
to 40 per cent higher now than then.
The families OF the first corners are
grown. The second generation has
come to the fore and is taking part
in the business of the communities.
They have grown up with the country
and know what it can produce and
just how valuable it is for the purpose
of production and for home.-C. NJ

SnIt for Milking CoNs.

Your cows will get enough salt by
simply putting lump of rock salt in
the manger. A COW giving a good flow
of milk, well fed, ought to have two
ounces of salt day, an ounce in the
morning and an ounce at night Some
advise giving this to them on their en-.
silage, when you feed ensilage and
grain. You can take small piece OF
salt in your fingers and weigh it, and
will soon be able to judge the amount
in an ounce.

Cleanliness in all lines of dairyins
counts for quality Of products. After
milk vessels have been washed with
soap and hot water they must be final
ly rinsed with scalding water. When
scaldlng water is used no drying with
rags will be necessary, as the heat
from the water will dry the vessels
without aid. Summing after cleaning
Is to be commended.

Farmers in lower Delaware are
greatly interested in an experiment
just concluded by Capt. William e.
Lank, who has thoroughly proven the
advantage of the rotation OF crops on
a four-acre field. Last spring he ma
nured the four acres, which had been
in corn the previous year. The manure
was plowed under, the ground well
narrowed and peas drilled In. The
crop grew we'll, and in June the peas
were sold at net profit of $92.
AS soon as the peas were removed,
plows again turned the soil over and 1t
was planted with corn. From this a
fine crop of fodder was saved,
yielding a net profit of $50. The
ground now has a fine set OF scarlet
clover on it, the seed having been
sown at the last narrowing OF the
corn, with every indication of $40
worth of clover hay in the spring and
a constant improvement to the land.

rreding Calves by Hand.

It is always best to feed the calves
by hand, because one knows just what
they are getting and how much. 1t is
really not such terrible task to feed
a dozen calves, but is quite a nuisance
to go through the motion just for one
or two. Perhaps great many dairy
men who object to raising calves or
their own herds would change their
minds II they should practice 1t in a
wholesale way.

Providing Salt for Pigeons.

On one of the largest squad plants
in this country salt is furnished the
breeders by dipping the small sacks
in water and then allowed to dry un-

Construction of Colony House.

During the dull season our local lum-
Der dealer and his assistant built some
portable colony poultry-houses as fol-
lows. writes an Indiana correspondent
of Orange Judd Farmer: The frame Is
securely bolted to the sills, which are
made sled-runner style. The walls are
made from closely-ftted tongue and
groove drop-siding. The floors are
tight, and the ventilators covered with
screen wire to keep out rats, weasels,
ETC.; the cover is roofing felt. Each
house Is painted. The size is 8 by 8
feet; 6 feet high in front and at the
back They cost me SIS each for all
material and work. Very likely they
could be built for less in places where
lumber is cheaper.

Interesting storzDut as to Swap in
Candidates fG Prosecuting
Attorney.

Prosecuting Attorney Fred C.
Pugh is on the uneasy seat. He
realizes that II candidate with
any strength at all enters the pri-
maries in. opposition to him that his
chances are very materially les
sened, and every effort is being
made to keep opposition out Of the
way for the republican nomination.
The farmers organizations in the
country and the labor people in
the city want the scalp of Mr..
Pugh, The desire is not one di-
rected against Mr.. Pugh person
ally so much ais it is to get a man
into the office. who is not under
the domination Of the ancient
courthouse regime and not in too
friendly relations with the police
of Spokane.
The first man talked of to go
against Pugh was w. c. Donovan,
once a deputy in the office, who
was relieved because of too much
activity in the recent courthouse
inquiry. The farmers talked of
Donovan, but Donovan concluded
that there was more money in pri.
vate practice than there was in
holding office, so he concluded not
to entertain the proposition. About
this time, too, Mr.. Pugh and Mr.
Donovan buried the Ratchet, and
while they appear on opposing
sides in criminal cases quite
often, personally they are the best
of friends.

given to the Bar association here,
Upon discussion. however. it was
thought that the matter had pro
ceeded to such stage that in JUS
tice to Judge Webster and to the
Bar association representative
should leave from here at once to
hear the matter on behalf of the
Bar association. Will G. Graves
was chosen the representative of
the Bar association and to hear
both sides. 1t was then stated
that as the charges had been for
INFLATED they could only be known
by Judge Webster after the repre-
sentative of the Bar association
was on the ground, and that it was
imperative that Judge Webster
be personally present, and that he
should be represented by counsel,
he having had no opportunity in
advance to prepare, not knowing
what the charges were.
The resolution by Frank Graves
that the investigation proceed as
outlined by the committee, was
sought to be substituted by the
resolution of Frank Allen, that the
matter be dropped, but friends OF
Judge Webster stated that this
would be not only unsatisfactory
to the Bar association, but thai
Judge Webster himself had re
quested that the matter be carried
out as outlined by the committee
This latter view prevailed. anC
VIII G. Graves will proceed a
once to Cynthiana, IA. After the
meeting, Mr.. Robertson. who was
also contemplating a trip to Wash
ington on important business, ten
dered his services to Judge Web
ster to represent him as his attor
ney in the matter, without cost o
expense to Judge Webster or t.
the Bar association. Mr.. Robert
son will leave tonight with Judg'
Webster.

Next came o. B. Settlers, who
was a candidate for the place in
the primaries two years ago. Mr..
Settlers had made up his mind to
go against Pugh, when friends of
the latter called Settlers into con-
ference. A trade was made, 1t was
afterward announced, in which Set
tiers agreed not to make the race
for prosecutor, but instead to come
out for justice of the peace, with
a view of being the next police
Judge. The support of the Pugh
forces for the justice job was Of
fered him. also with the agreement
that the Pugh pull with Mayor
Pratt would be used to give Set
tiers the police judgeship after his
election, it being taken for granted
that the nomination and election
were assured.
This Settlers Pugh deal has leak
ed out and has caused a lot of
hard feeling at the city hall
among the friends of Judge Mann,
who were grooming Edward Rains
ford, clerk to Mann, for the justice
job and the police judgeship.
Judge Mann has been a "hewer
of wood and hauler Of water" for
the Pratt administration and the
police department for some months,
and when he learned that he had
been double crossed 1t made him
mad. SO the fight is on, and other
candidates for prosecutor will be
announced before the entries close.

today to have the bonds of the
parties who brought the original
complaints that resulted in the
closing on attachment proceedings
of the store that was to have been
opened about two weeks ago in
creased to $4,000.
Blooms contention is that he
had spent about $500 advertising
the opening and being prevented
from doing so has already resulted
in loss to him of more than $4,000
worth of business.
Judge Sullivan held that $500
bond should be sufficient and set
