ANOTHER FOOL BILL.

A bill has been introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator
Hepburn of Idaho that has one clause
in it that should not become law.
Briefly stated this clause states that
any article of food that has been in
cold storage and taken out shall be
considered adulterated ii placed In
cold storage again. This would be
serious drawback to the apple trade.
Apples are shipped frequently in re-
frigerator cars and are in cold storage
while in transit. If fruit thus handl-
ed should be put in cold storage again
it would have to be condemned as
adulterated. But if the courts should
rule that shipping by refrigerator
cars is not cold storage, the law would
work unnecessary hardship. We cold
storage apples here in the Northwest
at picking time. That fruit may be
shipped to New York and any Eastern
city, when it is advisable to hold 1t
in cold storage again. This second
storage does not injure the fruit nor
in any sense adulterate it. The Com
missioners of Yakima county put
apples in cold storage in North Yakima
in the fall of 1904 and then the next
spring shipped these same apples to
Portland, Oregon for use at the Lewis
and Clark Fair and put them in cold
storage and held part of them till the
last week of the Fair which was In
October, 1905. Some of these apples
we're in perfect condition at that time.
[ know this for | had charge of these
apples during the entire Fair and sold
some of them after the close of the
Fair as good, sound fruit. The fact
is that apples do not become adulter-

The New Weed Law.

Farmers are especially interested
in the new weed law passed at the last
meeting of the Legislature and now
in force 1t is very drastic in it's pro-
visions and if properly enforced will
save the farmers of the state an i'm
mense amount of money. 1t requires
every man to keep his premises clean,
not only for his own good but for the
good of the community. In case it is
not done, he can be compelled to do
so and the cost will be charged against
his property. The road supervisor is
empowered to enforce the law. Fol
lowing is the new law:
Section 3038. 1t shall be the duty
of every owner. lessee, occupant, or
agent thereof. or of any person hav.
ing the care and charge of any land

rotten they will not sell, and if they
are sound they are not in any sense
adulterated. To forbid second stor-
age to apples is to restrict their sale
and Injuries the grower as we'll as the

all. Some laws are fool laws and do
no good and this part of this law be-
longs to that class.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.

One of the things of much concern
to the fruit growers is the prospect of
the coming crop. Peaches, pears and
apricots are undoubtedly short in the
United States and the prices must
rule high. What of the apple crop?
1t will undoubtedly be below the aver
age on the Pacific Coast. But far
Western box apples can not all be dis
posed of west of the Rocky mountains.
Ii the apple crop is very heavy in the
Middle West and the Atlantic States,
this will to some extent affect the
price of Western apples. It is true
that our very best apples are in class
to themselves and do not come into
competition with average east of the
mountain apples. Our strictly fancy
apples will probably be high, but our
apples are not all in that class. 1t is
yet too early to speak definitely about
the size of the apple crop in the whole
of the United States and Canada. l
have been carefully studying the re-
ports in our exchanges. In many
places the set is said to be light; the
drought has been severe in quite a
good many localities; the June drop
is not over yet at the time | am writ
ing. The apple scab, the bitter rot,
the damage from the cooling moth,
and in many cases, the dry weather
at the most critical time, are all to
come yet. My guess is that the apple
crop as a whole will not be above the
average and may be considerably be-
low that mark. Spray your apples
thoroughly, then where it is necessary,
irrigate properly where irrigation is
practiced, and if irrigation can not
be practiced, then thoroughly pulver-
ize the surface of the ground to con .
serve the moisture, put up your apples
in first class condition and my con-
viction is the price will be good and
money will be made on apples. l ex-

crop in each issue of The Ranch till

WINTER KILL PROBABLE.

In our last issue l referred to some
apple twigs sent to me by Mr.. Preston
of Harvey, Wash. These twigs were
sent to Prof. Melander of the State
College and by him turned over to
Prof. r. X. Beattie, also of the State
College, who is the Professor Of Botany
in that institution. On May 10Th
Professor Beattie wrote me as follows:
"Your letter to Professor Melander
has been referred to me upon my
return from an institute trip. Pro
lessor Melander is unable to find an
insects on the specimens which you
inclosed and has been totally unable
to find any signs of fungus trouble. L
am convinced that the trouble is some
form of what we call winter injury.
This does not necessarily mean freez-
ing but is more probably due to the
wood going into the winter in too un-
ripe condition and thus being injur-
ed by the dry winds of the autumn
months. There are many such cases
of injury in this state. The obvious
remedy is to cease cultivation, or in
the case of irrigated orchards, cease
irrigation at an earlier period in the
summer and get all the wood hardened
up before autumn comes, thus making
it better able to stand the drying
winds.
This reply suggests to orchardists
very important matter in their orchard
homogeneous. By our methods OF
cultivation and irrigation we may as
sist our trees in getting ready for the
winter. | wish to thank Professor
Beattie for his valuable suggestion
whether it applies to the case in hand
or not

Butchering Time.

At butchering time there are so
many scraps Of meat on hand that,
unless there il some method taken
for saving it, much of it will be vast
ed. Canned meats are by no means
uncommon, and are a great conven-
fence when an emergency arrives. Ev-
cry one knows how to use up the
heads, feet and backbones. These
are Just as good to make mince meat
of as for souse or scrapple. Or, the
meat may be cooked until it drops
from the bones, and then canned.
Spare ribs may be fried, roasted or
boiled and canned. The ribs should
be cut in the center with a meat
saw, then cut into convenient sizes
to put into cans. After cooking until
perfectly done, with no water in the
grease, pack the pieces az close to-
gether as possible in the cans or
jars, then cover well with the hot
meat fryings and seal the can. III
there are not enough fryings, sweet,
fresh lard may be used to fill out.
Sausage should be fried or roasted
until free from water then canned
in the same way as the ribs. Small
jars may be used, covering the meat
at least two inches deep and light
weight should be put on to keep the
meat under. The lard must be deep
enough to render the covering air
tight, putting several thicknesses OF
paper over the top and tying down
tightly. For the liver, pour boiling
water over the liver and let 1t stand
until cool to draw out the blood,
then drain and add hot water, salt,
pepper and herbs Of preferred flavor !;
boil until tender, then add two table
spoonfuls of butter, one onion, to
each pound Of liver; the onion
should be chopped and fried in but
ter, then all ground together to a.
fine paste; boil down the water in
which it was cooked until there Is a
scant teacupful, add 1t to the meat
paste, and add also the juice Of one
lemon for each pound Of liver. Pack
this tightly in small jars or glasses,
and cover well with melted lard.
This is fine for sandwiches, sliced
cold when needed. 1t will not keep
a great while, but is excellent for
