Difference ia Cows

There is vast differences between
the profits yielded by the common
COW and the COW whose ancestors
have been for economical production
for hundreds Of years. There is no
dispttihg the fact that the profitable
dairy COW is source of large.
regular and sure profits, and con-
server and restorer of fertility. but
do you know the difference between
profitable and improbable dairying?
Here it is in nutshell: A cow eats
a certain amount Of the proper food
and produces a certain amount OF
milk. Some cows are capable
of producing more milk from given
quantity of feed than others. In
fact, some cows produce ten times
more milk than others, and milk of
nearly the same degree of richness.
A cow consuming the same amount
of food that the average dairy cow
consumes and producing $50 gallons
of milk per year produces it at cost
of % cents per gallon; cow produc-
ing 47O gallons of milk per year pro-
duces it at cost of 20.5 cents per
gallon; cow producing $50 gallons
per year produces it at cost Of 18
cents per. gallon; cow producing
71O gallons per year produces it at a
cost of 14.5 cents per gallon; COW
producing $50 gallons per year
produces it at a cost of IL c:nts
per gallon, and a cow that gives
$50 gallons of milk in one year pro-
duces it for 9.5 cents per gallon.
And so we might go on until we
reach the production of Colantha
4th's Johanna, who, in one year.
produced 3,190 gallons of milk. II
fed the same ration as the average
c W she would have produced this
prodigious amount for 81 cents per
gallon. However, this does not
hold true beyond a production Of 900
or 1000 gallons, for the reasons
that animals producing such large
amounts require an extra amount OF
feed and care.-Professor Oscar Err.

The Problem Of
Marketing Fruit

1t seems more than little bit
strange that the fruit growers of
this county do not organize and
establish a selling agency. It is be-
coming more and more difficult with
every passing year for the individual
grower to dispose of his products.
The numerous agencies keep con.
stantly advised about the supply and
demand all over the world. An
agent gets information. for every
member Of his Organization at
small expense to each one; informa-
tion which costs more than the small
grower can afford to pay for him
self alone, and even if he gets the
information his little shipment is
not worth bothering with by buyers
who pay good prices. The days of
petty dealing are past. So much
has been said and written on the
subject that it seems a waste Of ink
for us to repeat the "old. old story"
ourselves; but we gladly give space
in the Islander for others to tell
what they think about it. There are
some strong points in favor of our
island fruit and there are the best
of reasons for organizing an agency
for its sale Now, please, whomso-
ever will. come and let US reason
together.
The matter is of so much impor-
tance that the Wenatchee Fruit
Growers Association will undertake
to place large amount of the fruit
crop handled this year by that
organization through the medium Of
travelling salesmen. who will. soon
enter into the various territories
assigned to them.

Reciprocity From A
Canadian Standpoint

In a recent address before a Sc
attic audience Fred T. Congdon,
member of the Canadian Parliament,
said:
"The proposed reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and
Canada is by no means a new
question. In the original agree
ment for peace between England
and the United States there was a
provision inserted fcr reciprocity
with Canada, but it was found
to be beyond the scope given the
arbitrators Of the two countries, and
that restricted reciprocal relations
were provided by the Jay treaty
adopted by the two countries in
1894.
'Nations like individuals, are
interdependent," }" Said Mr.. Congdon.
eThe United States has now become
one of the great world powers.
Canada is a young nation. Both
are virtually republics, because after
all we have democracy as you have
a democracy and it is for the mutual
benefit of the two countries that
they should have freer trade rela-
tions. We should have from you
what we are willing to extend. and
the best trade is that which pro-
notes mutual advantages. You
have received some Of our people,
and now Canada is receiving some
of your people, and the two coun-
tries are becoming fast united by
bonds of common interests and so
step by step we should advance for
the common welfare.
"But the economic aspect Of the
question is not as great, in my
judgment" continued Mr.. Congdon,
"as its moral side, for l look for
ward to its being the means Of in
suring enlargement of the great
arbitration treaty and eventually
world peace. =
Mr.. Congdon then said that an
nexation was not necessary. that the
United States was large enough,
but that there was never fairer
pact than that now before the two
countries for ratification. and that
it's adoption would be step in ad-
vance for two countries whose
positions now SO we'll correspond.
Falcon Joslin spoke briefly, ap-
proved of the proposed reciprocity
agreement, and said that lesson
or two taken from Canada might
relieve the United States of the new
tangled questions that forged them
selves to the front during the last
few years.

New Creamery Owner
Talks of Management

From the 18th of this month the
F riday Harbor creamery has been
nder the management of w. L.
Chappell, the new proprietor. Mr..
Chappell comes to US highly reco M
mended not only as a first-class
business manager. but as manu-
facturer of broad experience.
In speaking of the management
of the creamery. Mr.. Chappell says,
There is but one way to conduct a
creamery and that is to be fair.
honest and just. The home cream
cry, we'll managed, is the best insti-
tuition that the farmers can have
and if differences creep in and the
farmer thinks he is not getting all
that he could elsewhere, let him go
direct to the manager and enter his
complaint. Or. what would be bet
ter yet would be to have COM
mittee of three to inspect each and
every part Of the management,
such as the weight tests, price, ex-
pense and the net to the farmer.
''Lynden has the largest creamery
in the state and it is due to the fact
that the management is good and
the farmers all know it through the
report of their committee.
"The farmers are entitled to know
and they should know. 1t not only
gives them confidence in a home in
stitution, but it encourages them to
produce better quality and to keep
better cows and to feed and care
for them better.
IF we expect to go to the head we
must all pull together; there must
be unity between the manufactures
and the producer. / promise to do
my part in every particular and to-
give the business my individual at
tention, and all | ask is to have
every patron investigate my methods
and if he does / will assure you that
/ will have all the cream tributary
to this creamery.

Impressed By Schools
In Eastern Washington

ulOTuluS 1TOIu OpOAduC WIZ F,
went to attend the Masonic Grano
Lodge of Washington which held us
54th annual session there last week.
Mr.. Culver spent the Fourth OF July
1884, in Spokane on his return east
ward from vacation trip to TINS
coast, and five years later he and MS
brother engaged in the printing
business there, but their plant was
destroyed by fire within year and
they moved to Puget Sound. Mr..
Culver says the growth of the city
has been astonishing. 1t occupies
one of the grandest sites imaginable
for a great city and it has been
most admirably planned and beautl-
fully built. The residential section
on the hillsides and plateau south
of the Northern Pacific tracks is
especially fine. The business dis
trict is extensive and we'll built and
the city seems SO populous that no
fair minded visitor can believe that
there has been any padding of the
census returns there. There are
very few vacant buildings and busi-
ness conditions seem good.
Returning from Spokane, said
Mr.. Culver, 81 crossed the state by
daylight over tie Great North
road which traverses a portion OF
the great wheat belt of Eastern
Washington and the picturesque and
fruitful Wenatchee valley. now so
widely known as "the land of the
big red apple" first crossed the
same territory in 1893 when 1 had
the honor to represent one of the
big Seattle papers of that time at
the celebration held in St. Paul in
honor of the completion of the Great
Northern to Puget Sound. Wenat-
chez was then only a struggling,
cherries looking little hamlet in
the midst of a waste of sand and
sagebrush and there were few settle
ments or settlers on the great rolling,
treeless plateau between the Colum-
bia and Spokane. Great have been
the changes wrought in less than a
score Of years. While there are
large areas of barren lands near the
Columbia, there are tens of hun
dreds of fine grain and stock farms
east Of the great river and numerous
thrifty looking towns. What i'm
pressed me most, l think, was the
size and substantial character of the
school buildings all along the way,
and could not help comparing
them, to our discredit, with the
shabby, inadequate building we have
here. Places very much smaller
than Friday Harbor and not to be
compared with it in point of attrac-
iveness and desirability as places of
residence, have large brick school
houses. apparently providing educa-
tional facilities very much superior
to those which are afforded here in
the county seat of one of the lowell
est counties Of the state. / hope
that the people of this town and this
rich and beautiful island may soon be
made to realize the very great i'm
portance of building and maintain
ing modern school here, wor thy of
the place and of intelligent and pro-
gressive people,"

Small Jobbing Launches
Required to File Rates

After reading the section Of the
law passed by the last legislature
providing for the regulation of pub
lie utilities, as it was published in
the Islander two weeks ago, the
owner of small launch, engaged
in jobbing business only, wrote to
the Public Utilities Commission for
information as to what he would
be required to do. In his letter of
inquiry he said:
Il am the owner and operator
OF small jobbing launch, undocu-
mented- 1t being under five net but
not under five gross tons, which
does not ply on any regular route or
operate on any schedule. It is used
for towing and for carrying passen-
gers for hire, when chartered for
that purpose, operating principally
between island points in this county.
1t appears that you are empowered
to suspend the operation Of the act
as applied to boats like mine and /
would like to know whether it is
your intention to do so. You will
readily see. am sure, that it would
not be an easy matter for me to file
"a schedule of rates or a tariff for
such work as | do, but it it is neces-
sary to do SO will you kindly instruct
me as to what l should do and send
me whatever blanks are needed"
Apparently it was the first case of the
kind which had been brought to the
attention of the Commission. which
referred the letter to the attorney
generals Office for reply. In ans
wer, Assistant Attorney-General
Carey wrote:
The Commission has not yet de-
termined what policy it will pursue
with reference to vessels such as
you have described. We suggest
that you prepare and file with the
Commission schedule of your rates,
as nearly as you can make it up at
this time. In other words. make
the best effort you. can to comply
with the law.
If you desire to be relieved from
the operation # the law relative to
filling tariff and maintaining the
rates quoted therein, we suggest
that you file with the Commission a
formal verified petition, setting
forth detailed description of the
vessel operated, a statement of the
waters in which she operates, and
statement of the business transact
ed. In this way your case will be
formally before the Commission for
action.
'.On behalf Of the Commission
we desire to say that the Commission
has no desire to unnecessarily en-
barrass boats such as yours in their
customary operation, but it is
necessary that each case be formally
brought to the attention Of the Com
mission, so that its rulings may be
uniform -
