production of clean and wholesome
1rult is out of the question, growers
and handlers say it is necessary to

the Pacific country came into bear.
ing. The figures for ID years, as
given in the Seattle Trade Register,
are as follows:
Orchards in the United States pro-
duced 69.070, 900 barrels of apples
in 1896, the banner year in the his
tory of the country. There was a
decrease Of nearly $4,000, 900 bar
rels. or more-.than last years crop,
in 1897, when the yield amounted
to Al .536, 900. Another decrease
followed in 1898. the yield being
placed at %, $50, 900 barrels, but in
1899 and 1900 there were substan-
tial increases, the yields being 3d.
466, 1000 and 56,860,OOO barrels, re-
spectively. There was a drop of
100000 barrels in 1901, while
1902 showed an increase of 20, ,OOO,-
600 barrels, the crop that year being
estimated at 46,626, 900 barrels.
Forty-six million barrels of apples
were produced in 1903, and in 1904
the yield was 5000 barrels less.
Then, in 1905, it dropped to a.

Mail Steamers Again
Change Their Schedules

The mail steamers Vashonian and
Burton have again changed their
schedules and the people of the is
lands are now getting only a tri-
weekly direct service from Seattle,
the same as given by the steamer
Rosalie before the new contract be-
came effective, instead of a daily
service from there as was promised
and contracted for. The Vashonian
did not touch any of the island
points Monday but went direct to
Bellingham and no through mail
was received until Tuesday after
noon. Under the new schedule she
is supposed to leave Seattle on Sun
day, Tuesday and Thursday nights
and Bellingham on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday mornings. The
Burton leaves Bellingham on Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday morn
ing, going through to Richardson
and leaves Richardson every Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday morn
ing.
Even were the boats to run and
make their schedules it would be
impossible for them to give as salts
factory service as was given by
the Steamers Rosalie and Islander,
for the reason that not nearly so
many patrons of the postal system
are being served as were under the
previous conditions. The govern
ment is paying $13,350 for service
that is decidedly inferior to that
given by the Rosalie and Islander,
and for which the government paid
S., 800. We must now be contented
with getting our mail whenever it
comes, whether that be daily, tri-
weekly or weekly, for it seems there
is no schedule upon which the peo-
pie can depend. We must submit,
but for show long, O Lord, how
long,"

Do Not Raise A
ProfitlesS Herd

In starting with pure bred ami
mails or with common cows, and
growing ones own heifers, the first
thing to do is to select heifers, to be
kept, from the best cows. One
should know almost to certainty
just what each COW is doing and
what she is worth.
This cannot be done by guessing
at her record, but by testing and
weighing her milk at regular and
frequent intervals during a produc-
ing year.
The next wise thing to do is to
breed to some good male whose an
cestors have good milk record, and
breed along definite line, without
change or cross-breeding. If pure
bred cows only are kept this will re-
suit in better pure bred animals,
and all of these that are to be kept
or sold for breeding purposes should
be registered so that some profit
may be made in the herd from the
sale of surplus breeding animals.
If common cows are used and bred
along one line without change or
crossing, the grade heifers will
gradually approach the pure bred
type in outward markings as we'll
as in milk production.
In building up good herd of
cows too much attention cannot be
given to the heifers which are to be
kept in the herd. The usual mode
now of growing all calves is to feed
them skim milk after they are about
two weeks old. Many dairymen
stunt their heifer calves by starting
them on skim milk too soon.
The calf that is expected to de-
velop into strong and profitable
cow should be given all the chan ces
possible during its early period Of
growth. Whole milk should be fed
until the calf is at least four weeks
old and then it should be taught to
eat grain when it is put on a diet o1
skim milk. The saving Of a few
dollars on the calf during its early
growing period will mean many dol
lars loss in the mature COW. After
the young heifer is no longer fed
milk she should be on good pasture,
and fed literally on nutritious feeds
during the winter to make her de-
velop into large and strong COW
capable of consuming large amounts

Ddirmen's Association
Is Organized Here

At a meeting held in Odd Fellows
hall last Saturday afternoon an or
ganization to be known as the San
Juan County Dairymen's s Association
was formed with charter member
ship of nineteen active and two hon.
torary members. DR.. v. j. Capron
presided as temporary chairman and
Milo M. Smoots acted as temporary
secretary. This meeting, one of the
most important to the farmers ever
held in the county was attended by
L. w. Hansen, state dairy inspector,
and D. S. Troy, manager Of the
Glendale creameries and ex-presi-
dent of the state dairymen's associa-
ton. In very able address Mr..
Hansen urged the farmers to i'm
prove their herds and cited many
examples to show the Importance of
this and also to show the great value
of well bred stock as compared with
the cheaper and poorer class. He
stated that the average production
of butter fat per COW for the United
States is lao pounds when the aver
age could as easily be brought up to
500 pounds. It costs no more to
feed the heavy producer and the
profit to the owner is vastly more.
He suggested that the farmers of
this county devote their attention to
the raising of some one breed Of
dairy cattle and stated that it mat
tered but little whether these were
Jerseys, Ayrshires Holsteins or
Guernseys. As the Channel islands
are celebrated for their Jerseys and
Guernseys. so, he says, should the
San Juan islands be celebrated as
the home of one Of the above named
breeds. These, according to Mr..
Hansen, are the four best dairy
breeds, and are ones that it is as
easy to raise and keep as any of the
poorer class.
Both Mr.. Hansen and Mr.. Troy
promised to do everything in their
power to assist in improving the
dairy industry in this county.
Speakers will be sent here from
time to time to address the dairy
men at the meetings Of the associa-
tion and an expert is to be sent here
occasionally to make cream tests and
make suggestions, if need be, that
will, if followed out, tend to raise
the standard of the dairy industry
in this county.
Those who were present at this
meeting and signed the roll as chart
er members of the association are:
P. A. Perry, Jerome Andrews, Her
man Dightman, Thomas Wooten,
Ray Wooten, Peter German, A.
Pfffner, VIM. Malcom, w. w. Lee,
James Taylor, Jesse Taylor, ]. Q. lay
lor, j. A. Smiley, w. E. Wells, AL
fred Douglas, Robert Sandwith,
Frank Guard, V. j. Capron and Milo
Smoots. Honorary members: DIS.
Troy and L. w. Hansen.
The next meeting will be held on
Wednesday, October 10, at 200 p.
m. when the permanent organiza-
tion will be effected and constitu-
ton and bylaws adopted. All who
are interested in the dairy industry
are urged to attend.

High Prices Cause Decline
In Meat Consumption

1.-THE meat trade is at present in
a peculiar situation says the Trade
Register. Prices have been falling
since last March, when the pinnacle
of provision prices was reached.
Mess pork sold in New York at $27
per barrel, and cash lard at SIS per
100 lbs. Live hogs at Chicago
reached $11.1O per 100 lbs. Cur
rent quotations are $24.50 for mess
pork in New York, $12 for lard and
$500 per 100 lbs for hogs at Chica-
90. These declines are not due to
increased supplies, for statistics show
that the stocks Of provisions at the
present time are lower than at any
period since March, nor has the
availablesource Of supply material
ly increased. The cause may be
traced to the decrease in consump-
ton. whether induced by choice or
necessity, owing to the high price
of meats. It is an, undoubted fact
that many who formerly indulged
in meats three times day are now
contenting themselves with partak-
ing of it once day. There are
others who have abolished It entire
" from their table. While the alb
stinence from a too free use OF meat
NAV not be more economical. yet
from an hygienic point Of view it
NAV Be more desirable. Probably
less meat and more vegetables,
frnits and cereals are better for the
healthy sustenance Of the body. It
has often been alleged that those
people whose principal diet consists
81 farinaceous grains and vegetables
are endowed with greater power o.
snsta;ned endurance than those who
indulge freely in flesh foods.
