The Water Matter

The supsense regarding the secur-
ing of water for Friday Hrabor for
household and manufacturing pur-
poses and for fire protection. from
Trout Lake. is not yet ended. The
hearing at Seattle last week before
Judge Rudkin. resulted in further
delay. but all who had to do with
the matter. and have closely follow
ed the case from the beginning. are
hopeful that the final decision will
probably be favorable to the city.
The defendants raised the point of
right of eminent domain of cities
Of the fourth class outside their
corporate limits. It is technical
point. and if the judge should de-
eide that Friday Harbor had no
authority to file for water rights at
Trout Lake. the recent filing by P.
McNamee. would certainly compli-
cate m alters, but if the judges rul-
ing should favor the city, and there
seem to be plenty of citations sus-
tanning the city's position, then the
matter will end, and the city will
proceed to condemn property for
its right of way. and the other
steps necessary to install the system
will be hastened.
Briefs will be submitted by the
contending parties. when the mat
ter will be taken under advisement.
It is only just to state that the
criticism which was general when
the hearing was had at Bellingham,
that the papers were not properly
drawn that they should have en-
braced the city's ordinance and a
technical description Of the property
involved was without foundation.
When the matter was properly rre-
sented to Judge Rudkin he admit
ted that it was his mistake.

went to work getting out his TIM

FIGHT LITTLE MELON APHIS

fight melon aphis is to burn the in
tested vines just where they are. At
least every other day they get over
their patch of vines and look for the
very dark green color and swollen,
wate-y appearance of the leaves OF
the plants. A little later the leaves
and vines take on black, powdery
cast that no one can mistake. The
leaves curl under, but do not begin
to wilt sometimes for days.
BY keeping careful watch and de,
stroying the plants as they show the
presence of aphis, ore can usually
control the pest. Scatter straw over
the infested hill and burn at once.
To attempt to carry the vines to the
edge of the field will simply spread

After burning a hill keep careful
watch over adjoining hills, to see that
the insects have not spread. OF

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS
cane From West Indies and Are
Thought BY Many People to Be
Most Profitable Of Dack Family.
ey ANNA GALLIaHER, Ohie.)

(Sy ANNA SkALLlef611.1h, Oi'S.|
It is only comparatively a few years
since the Indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In
dies, where they have been raised for
years, chiefly as egg-producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white
with yellow shanks and light-green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.
The body is long and narrow and
is carried tn an almost upright posi-
ton. Neck is long and thin, with fine
ly formed head.
The Indian Runner Is rather small
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from five
to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
layers; beginning when about six
months old. Their eggs are pure
white and a little larger than those
of Plymouth Rock hen.
They are superior in quality to any

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Be Allowed to Take as
Much as They Require-Don't
Feed 1t In Their Mash.
(By W. F. PARRIsII.j

When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow good
deal of the time, grit must be sup
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
so as to both cut and grind. Smooth
pieces of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from q pit will
make one of tie best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful, but it will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
II you prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers in poultry sup
plies. A good many people do this
and a good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining git. The hens need
some Of the oyster shells, as they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place of grit They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep we'll filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur
ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite a lot of
the material in months time. Pro-
viding the grit in boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way of feeding it. They will then use
as much as is necessary for their
health, as they are the best judges OF
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
If we always knew how much would
be needed for the health of the birds,
it would be all right to mix the grit
with the feed. But since we do not
know this, we would best not force
grit upon them as we would be doing
1 We mixed it with the feed.

Give the earth good seed to work
with.
A silo built Of concrete will pre-
serve silage we'll.
Truck farming in this country is
not yet being overdone.
Rye may be cut for hay and used
for all classes Of livestock.
Most experienced melon pickers can
tell ripe melon from the looks.
The tool which usually follows the
plow in the course Of tillage is the
harrow.
A ter-cent bolt now may save dol
lars worth of time when the rush OF
work comes.
With the exception Of the plow, the
harrow is perhaps the Oldest of tillage
instruments.
There is no reason why potatoes
should net be cultivated with riding
corn cultivator.
Frequent stirring Of the soil is said
to be good preventive Of rust form
ing on the cultivator.
A liberal application Of ashes to the
soil where cabbage plants are grown
is a preventive of clump root.
If the soil leaves the plowshare
shiny and wet, wait a day or two.
Wet plowing makes cloddy ground.
In seasons when drought prevails q
better stand of clover can be secured
by sowing the seed without nurse
crop.
When moss creeps into the meadows
and pastures they need to be broken
up and the soil exposed to the sun and
air. before reseeding.
Teams, wagons or stock passing
over the meadows when they are soft
and spongy cut the life out Of the sod
and lower the profits.

In summer the Indian Runner whe.
