Plenty Of Ducks in China.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Ihose travelling in foreign lands are
app 10 note with interest many pecul-
iarit1es OF the people Of different ma
tons. and of course are apt to notice
the different kinds of fowls and ami
mails found In different countries.
There are more ducks in China than
In all the rest of the world. Their
voices are a familiar sound in every
town and country spot of the s%eacoast
and the interior of the vast empire.
Even In the large cities ducks abound.
They dodge between the collies' legs;
they fit squawking out of the way of
the horses. Their indignant quack will
not unseldom drown the roar of urban
commerce.. Children herd ducks on
lake. on every river. There is no back
yard without Its d~uckhouse. There is
no boat. little or great, without it's
duck quarters.
All over the land there are great
duck-hatching establishments, many Of
them OF q capacity huge enough to pro-
duce $4,000 young ducks every year.
Duck among the Chinese is a staple
delicacy: It is sailed and smoked like
ham or beef. 1t is served as a delicacy
prepared In many ways, and a number
of travellers declare only the Chinese
know how to cook and serve a nice fat
duck.
In royal households and among the
very wealthy the duck is served in a
particular style in honor Of any dis
tinguished guest. and those fortunate
enough to have eaten 1t say 1t Is far
beyond anything they get elsewhere
In the way of prepared fowl.
Many ducks are exported from. China
n 1t promises to be q growing in
dustry. The climate. as we'll ~ the

excellent flesh.

It is now claimed that what is known
as the brogue of the Irish Is Il truer
pronunciation of English words than
the present-day speech OF England. For
political reasons-to unite the two
races, The English and the Irish
Queen Elizabeth rooted out the native
Irish speech and introduced INFO the
Emerald isle the language of England.
This change was effected In 20 years
after the death of Shakespeare. The
bethan pronunciation has been lost by
England, but retained in out-of-the-
way places in Ireland, which have con-
tinued unchanged since Shakespeare's
time

George AIDE was talking at a we'd
ding in Chicago abou matrimony.
"Matrimony is perhaps a little too
much idealized." he said. These June
brides, radiant under their white wells
in q. glitter of sun shine. seem capable
of changing earth to heaven, but, as a
matter of fact, they are not capable OF
anything of the sort. am in hearty
sympathy with old Brown. to whom
young Black said at a wedding: "A

Of a man. Yes. that's so,' Die Brown

a result, and then produce inferior
fruit. The Wagner has very
good name on the market but the
poorly colored fruits scald in stor-
age and then go down rapidly. The
trees have habit of overbearing early
in life, loosing vitality and produc-
ing inferior fruit the same as the
Winesap.
The four apples just mentioned
are among the most popular and
serve to illustrate the fact that we
nave no ideal varieties. There is
not a variety in the entire recon-
mended list but has as bad or even
worse faults than those named above.
The ideal variety may never be OBJ
tanned but there is no reason to be-
lieve that we now have the best oh
tainable. There are over one thous-
and named varieties of apples in the
United States today and not ten of
these are the result of plant breed
ing work with the purpose of pro-
ducing the kind of variety obtained.
Nearly all of them are mere discover
les. The berry fruits and grapes are
being imported by the plant breeder.
The large fruits are as amendable to
the improved methods of plant
breeding and improvement as any of
the annual plants. There is no cor
relation between size and quality or
quality of fruit and yigor of plants.
1t is not unreasonable to hope for
and expect to some day have apples
with the qualities of fruit of the
Spitzenburg and the fruiting habit of
the Gano combined in one variety.
With the present success of fruit
growing in this section of the coun-
try, using what varieties could be OBJ
tanned from old sections, the future
looks very bright indeed. The young
man who is interested in plant and
crop development in this state must
expect reVerses from time to time,
but there are few vocations that will
better reward their devotees than
fruit growing and plant improvement
in the Northwest.

Farmers Visit Harvester Plant.
>. KARLSON.
Portland, Ore.

Tuesday afternoon, May 23, was a
red letter day for the Idaho National,
1t being the occasion for the visit on
the part of several hundred visiting
farmers who were in Moscow attend
ing the Farmers Union convention
The farmers set aside part of the
afternoon for this purpose and in adj
dttion to a number of harvesters
about the yard the company had one
of the machines in operation This
attracted close attention, and show
ed the farmers just how the new in
vention works.
The plant was inspected and If
one may judge by the remarks made
by the visitors they were agreeably
surprised by the showing made. One
farmer from Douglas county said:
Il had no idea the company had
such a substantial plant, and | am
more than surprised. I did not ex-
pect to see anything like it. Mos
COW ought to be proud of such a
plant"
The biggest job was to explain to
the farmers who insisted on buying
machines the reason why they could
not buy at this time, and some of the
visitors, when they could not prevail
on the company to fill their orders
for 1911, placed orders for 1912.
| One man made an advance payment
of $3.50 on 1912 order, while a
number of others signifed their in
tention Of ordering for 1912 as soon
as they market their coming crop.
Among the visitors was ]. c.. Han
son OF Genesee, and Charles Watson
| OF Pomeroy, both prominent farmers
who last season harvested their
crops with these machines, and both
men were kept busy explaining to
the assembled grain growers the
practical working side of the Idaho
National harvester. Both men said
without hesitancy that they consid-
cred the Idaho the greatest harvester
ever invented and assured their fell
low farmers that there was no ques-
ton about the success of the ma
chine
i The interest on the part OF the
Farmers Union was certainly en-
couraging to the company, and the
numerous inquiries as to where the
various haryesters would run the
coming season indicated their inten-
ton to see them in operation. Some
of the farmers said they would be
compelled to travel may miles to see
a machine run but that they intend
ed to take the time. Everywhere
was the wish expressed that the COM
pany would meet with abundant sue
cess

tables is the coming business of the
fruit and vegetable raising districts.
When the producer of raw material
becomes educated to the fact that
very little skill, learning or invest
ment is required to put up canned
goods successfully, as he will in
time, there will be small canning fac
tories and individual Gamers in ev-
cry small village and neighborhood
The small canning boiler will be as
comm on as the cream separator now
Is in the farming and dairy districts
1t is only short time ago when the
dairyman had to haul his milk many
miles to the nearest creamery, have
the cream separated and bring back
the skinned milk. Very few do so
now. Every practical dairy farmer
has his own cream separator Ask
him IF HE THINKS HIS CREAM
SEPARATOR PAYS! So will every
fruit and vegetable grower have his
own canning outfit. He will put up
his own goods and sell them to the
local grocery stores or to the nearest
Jobbing house. In fact, what has
been possible in the dairy business, is
much more possible in fruit and
vegetables. The individual Gamer
has the advantage over the large can
ming factory in being in position
where he can let his fruit ripen until
natural flavor is fully developed.
There is always large demand for
canned fruit which has developed
"fruity favor" as contrasted with
the insiped, flavorless product usual
ly to be found on the market. The
individual Gamer has no difficulty in
marketing his product.
1t is to be hoped that the. growers
of fruit and vegetables will cone TO
realize the opportunities arising in
the heretofore practically unexplored
field of home canning in the west
ern states and that they will mater
Tally increase their legitimate pro-
fits thereby. The ownership of a
small home canning outfit involves
but a small investment and it is one
which the fruit grower will never
regret. What others have done, you
can do. Success comes in cans,
failures in cants"

Whitman County Pays in $61 ,435 81

During the years of 1907-0S-09-
10 the state collected for the build
ing of state highways both state aid
and stage roads a total of 1907
O19.37, figures com piled by the state
bureau of inspection showing a big
gain each year, as the levies were in
creased steadily while the assessed
valuation of all property was also
greater. In 1907 the total for the
state was $121,945.38; in 1908 it
jumped to 1854, 957.74; in 1909 to
1868, 177.93, while in 1910 it went
up to $756,938.32.
King county paid in the biggest
sum, a total of $425,365.31. Spo-
kane was second with $152,96S.25,
while Pierce was third, with $149,-
5j70S. Pierce county jumped from
SELECTS in 1907 to $76,591.97 in
1907 to $23,759.32 in 1910. These
figures show that in 1910 every
county was paying practically five
times as much for state roads as in
1907. The legislature in increasing
the levy for state aid roads from a
quarter to half a mill in 1907; levy
ing a mill in 1909, and the increased
property valuations caused the big
increase in taxes collected.
