A Few Horse pon,ts.

Don't ask me to black" with blinds
on; I'm afraid to.
Don't let some blockhead drive me
that has less sense than l have.
Don't run me down steep hill, for
If anything should give way l might
break your neck.
Don't whip me when l get fright
ened, or will expect it next time and
may make you trouble.
Don't trot me up hill, for l have
you, the buggy and myself to carry.
Try running uphill with load your
self.
Don't drive me with an "overcheck''
on; the sun hurts my eyes and can't
see where to step. It's inhuman and
cruel.
Teach me to stop when you say
whoa" and this you can do without
Jerking my head off or tearing my
mouth. 1t may check me if the lines
should drop or break and save run
away and smash-up.-CaHfor Voice.

JAPAN and THE U. S.
WAR WOULD RESULT BAD FOR
BOTH COUNTRIES.
Trade Enthusiasts Lead Nation Astray,
Says Oriental Authority = Position
Like Russia Savers Country should
Center Political Activities in This
Continent.

London.--With the declaration that
war between the United States and
Japan would be bad thing for Amer
lea, regardless of the immediate out
come, Francis McCallugh, long mem
Der of the staff of the Japan Times Of
Toxic, says in the London Morning
Leader that Washington is being vic.
timized by the very forces which led
the Russian nation blindfold six years
ago into the dreadful Manchurian war.
No man IN England is considered bet
ter qualified to discuss the JAPANESE
American situation from the Japanese
standpoint. His assertion that the
United States is being lured into war
by listening to a group of trade expan-
sionists has caused little less than
sensation on the European side Of the
ocean.
Russia was dragged into the Japa-
nese war; McCullugh says, "by y
small group of men who were engaged
in the Yalu timber business, which was
not, at best, worth more than few mil
lion roubles year. America is being
clearly dragged into hostilities by GER
tain persons interested in the trade of
Manchuria, trade that amounts to q
few million dollars Of profit in so far
as America is concerned
''In 1900 Russia withdrew her agen-
cies from her sister peoples, the south
ern Slavs, and concentrated all the eff
forts Of her diplomats and her soldiers
on part of the world which can never
really be hers. In that distant region
she was bled, and before she had re~
covered her strength Germanism had
its grip on her throat. 1t is remem
bered what followed; how Russia, un-
able to raise hand, was even forced
to stop talking by an ultimatum from
Berlin.
Americas Position Similar.
Gin the same way America is now i'm
vited to withdraw her attention from
Mexico, the canal, Central and South
America, where one would think all her
interest would lie, and is enthusiastic
ally encouraged to entangle herself in
the politics Of the yellow race. If she
accepts the invitation she will live to,
regret it--perhaps when the Germans
have seized Sac Paulo or Rio Grande
de Sui, and Washington is afraid Of
lodging even a verbal protest.
whichever way victory goes, the
American people win be the sufferers
Victorious, they will become prey to-
jingoism, imperialism and the big arma-
ment mania. Defeated, they win lose
the Philippines and most of their feet.
"The Russian grand dukes rather
liked war scares, for it gave St. Peters
burg good excuse for assigning
money for new ships and helped the
grand dukes to build delightful little
villas near Paris and Naples. Some in
fluences on the other side of the Att
lantic also appear to like war scares,
for they become very active while the
naval appropriation bill is under con-
sideration.

ventilating stables.

Horses and cows are in the stable
at night for rest. When the weather
is warm the atmosphere in close con-
finement becomes very warm and OPP
pressive, so much SO that the animals
become very uncomfortable and hence
fail to get proper rest. The horse that
does not get proper rest is not in a
good condition for heavy work the fol
lowing day, and the COW that does not
sleep in cool, restful place in hot
weather will not give full flow OF
milk. The temperature of the work
ing or producing animal must be kept
normal to give the best results. II
there are no windows in your stables
cut out a number now and let light
and fresh air come for the health and
comfort of the animals.

s1opping Large Herd OF Hor..

1 have been using a device with
which to slop pigs for number of
years and find that can slop $50 pigs
with it easier than any way know of,
writes an Iowa farmer. The illustra.
ton explains itself, but I will add a
few pointers Each of the four troughs
is 16 feet apart. A 22-foot trough is
attached to the fence couple of feet
above the floor of these troughs, and
slop poured into this trough runs into
each one of the four troughs by pipes.
By this plan all troughs are filled
with equal rapidity, and if the outlet
of each pipe is bent it will shoot the
slop half the length of the trough be-

approximately 27,736 acres of land in
Wyoming which are supposed to con

Education ana Farming.

Under the heading, Plain Talk by
Plain Farmer" writer in the Agri-
cultural Epitomist says:
at seems to me that we are fast
coming to that place where it is going
to mean something to own farm and
mean much more to know how to han
die it. We are beginning to look upon
the farm as something that requires
the brightest mind to manage. In my
travels about the country / have
found places where at one side of the
road we saw fine land and fine stock,
everything looking prosperous, and on
the other side exactly the reverse,
everything going to pieces, poor crops
and poor stock. and the owner head
over heels in debt. / am sorry for
the man who is unfortunate. who has
sickness or anything of that kind to
contend with, hut what is the reason
in the same neishborhood for SO great
difference? 1t is not always an &C
\ cident or sickness, but because one
man is the farmer and the other is
not a farmer think we can do no
better work than help speed the day
& when we may educate our farmers
in our public schools so that they can
4 read the agricultural papers and bulle-
tins intelligently. The trouble is not
that farmers do not read the agricul-
tural books, papers and bulletins, but
that their early education has been
neglected and they are unfamiliar with
the terms that we are compelled to
use in writing upon agricultural top
les. There is no greater need in our
education to-day than something that
will assist in connecting our expert
ment station workers, our agricultural
press and our agricultural writer's
with their readers"

The report deals with other sales
of state lands to various individuals,
where the cruisers made astonishingly
low estimates and the taxpayers lost
huge sums in the aggregate
How the State Lost 100000.
BY carelessness of some state land
official in 1908 to perfect title granted
the state by the United States under
the indemnity act, the state has lost a
large part of a township of timber land
in Clarke county, the report says. This
land, which could have been wrested
from the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany, was sold by the railroad to the
Weyerhaeusers. 1t contains more than
225, 100000 feet Of timber and is worth
100000.
Easy Money for Lords Bank.
The committee found that the Capt.
tai National bank of Olympia has en-
joyed deposits of state land moneys,
averaging daily balance of $194,O63
from January is, 1905, to March 10,
1910. The bank paid the state no i'm
terest. Affidavits from G. j. Lord, the
bank president, and State Commissioner
of Public Lands E. w. Ross say Ross
has not profited financially by these de.
posits.
The committee recommends removal
from the Western Washington hospital
for the insane at Steilacoom, Pierce
county, to farm near Sedro- WoolIey,
in Skagit county, of all patients able
to work at manual labor.
Governor Hay Approves.
''I most heartily indorse the recon-
mendation of the committee that all
timber lands of the state be cruised at
the earliest possible moment.
"When became governor it was re-
ported to me that the capitol grant
lands were worth about 81 100000 or
81 100000; their value viii aggregate
over $4,Oo0,O0O.
Gas at present constituted, the office
of land commissioner gives too much
power into the hands of one man; there
should be commission of three men
with equal authority
Strongly indorsing the work of
the legislative investigating committee,
Governor Hay expresses himself as well
satisfied with the work that had been
done, at the same time voicing his re.
greet that the committee was not able
to finish the work to which it had been
assigned.

Covering Cement Floors in Winter.
An excellent suggestion is made by
practical swine breeder to those hav-
Ing cement floors in their pens.
He advises a movable wooden floor
Tor the winter. He makes his own
noors of one inch boards, and lays
Them fiat on the cement, In section
small enough to be easily removed at
any time. In this way he combines
the advantages of both the cement and
the wood. He can remove the board
moor, scrub out the pen and also thor
oughly clean and disinfect the false
moor outside. Cement is the cheapest
material in the end for the floor of
the hog pen. The floor of the outer
apartment should be few inches low
er than the house floor, so as to in
sure drainage and dry sleeping quar-
tiers.

Committeeman J. c. Hubbell, who is

Lumber Company Land Grab.
The committee, in its investigation OF
the land department, began with rec
erds of transactions from the time the
state was admitted to the Union, &c
years ago, hence time for researches
has been inadequate, but among the
startling disclosures is that of opera
tions of the Silver Lake Railway and
Lumber company in Cowlitz county
It tells of "pretended sale in 1904 OF
land" to F. G. Barnes and later itf
transfer to the Silver Lake company
and continues:
"From that time until 1909 it wa'
listed as school land on the tax rolls
and no taxes were paid on it. The
county cruise showed less than sever
million feet of timber on it, but th'
committees cruiser IS report more thar
twenty-five million feet.
"In 1906 the Silver Lake com
pany, representing u ONheu the idhu
acquired shore lands on Silver lake a
the minimum value of IS per Inca
chain, but this sale was never adver
tised, as the law requires. By ."pre
tended" state sales to applicants an'
transfer to the Silver Lake compan,
the company has acquired other vas
quantities of timber unlawfully, tn
committee believes.''
