They were not touched till they were
completely thawed out. They were
crisp and juicy and we thought them
far better for eating apples than those
kept 10 the cellars.
One question will very naturally
come up at this juncture and that is,
evil apples keep as we'll after being
frozen and thawed out as they would
if not frozen at all?'' The common
opinion is that they will not keep so
well. But | am in some doubt about
the correctness of that opinion. l do
know that we often find windfall
apples in our orchards that have been
covered with thin layer of leaves as
late as June first and they were sound
and crisp. I know enough about the
keeping of frozen apples to suggest to
my mind that we may turn such
things to good advantage.
Another question comes up and that
is, "Will cold storage apples keep as
we'll as those kept without cold stor-
age? My judgment is that they will
keep better. 1t must be remembered
that apples in cold storage are not
frozen and whatever is true about

TREATING SEED WHEAT FOR SMUT

The purpose of treating wheat is to
destroy the smut pores or seeds of
the smut plant, which are mixed with
the seed wheat either as loose spores
scattered over the surface and among
the hairs on the ends of the kernels,
or as unbroken smut balls. There are
several solutions which will kill smut
spores when they are soaked in these
solutions, the principal ones being
formalin zone pound to 40 gallons
water and bluestone or vitriol, Zone
pound to four gallons water). These
solutions must be made up carefully

are in good demand in the eastern
markets. There is much poor stuff
on the market this year. Here is the
lesson we of the northwest must learn:
Do not send any apples to the eastern
markets unless they are strictly fancy.
We can raise, and do raise, a grade
of apples out here that can not be
surpassed anywhere. Much care must
be exercised in putting up this fancy
stock. All inferior apples must be
rejected.

CROP PROSPECTS.

Conditions in the apple market re-
main about the same as they were

last issue. My exchanges tell that

storage apples. At the Lewis and
Clarke Fair held in Portland, Oregon,
in 1905, it was my privilege to study
cold storage of apples as to how they
kept in storage and after being taken
out of storage. I had charge of the
Yakima county exhibit at that fair.
The county commissioners, or some
one else, had put something like 200
boxes of apples into cold storage IN
the fall of 1904. Just before the open
ing of that fair on June first, those
apples we're shipped to Portland and
put into cold storage there and We
had them till the fair closed, October
14th, 1905. There was not day dur
ing that entire fair that we did not
have a good exhibit of those 1904
apples. When the fair closed we had
several boxes of those apples on ex
hibition. AS soon as the 1908 apples
were ready, they were put on exhibit
ton also, and then the apples of both
years were kept side by side until the
fair closed. So far as could Judge,
the cold storage apples OF 1904 kept
as we'll as the 1905 apples. In cold
storage the temperature is kept just
above freezing point and the effect is
that the operations of nature are
simply suspended and rotting does
fol al r
nothing decays when frozen. The
carcass of a mastedon was found few
years ago frozen solid in the ice ia
northern Siberia and in a perfect state
of preservation. The mastedon has
been extinct on the earth for thou
sands of years. The men who found
this frozen mastedon thawed out some
of the meat and fed it to their dogs.
When apples freeze or are kept at the
freezing point the operations of decay
are suspended.
Perhaps one other thing may be
mentioned in this connection with
profit. When we had that cold spell
in Iowa, in October, 1880, some people
had not gathered their apples and
they froze solid on the trees. In most
cases the apples were given up as lost.
When the weather moderated the
apples left on the trees turned black.
But a few persons shook off these
frozen apples and let them drop into
the snow which was something like
six inches deep. In a few days the
snow melted away and the apples
shaken into the snow thawed out.
Here then was a perfect surprise to
most people, myself included; these
apples thus shaken into the snow
we're found to be sound and crisp and
were not injured at all.
Some kinds of matured fruit will be
damaged by frost. That is true of
peaches as ! know by experience But
frosty weather will not hurt apples
on the tree as [ know by experience.
On several occasions we had white
frosts before all of our winter apples
we're picked. In former years it was
my custom to take charge of the pick
ing gangs in my orchard. On several
occasions the frost was so abundant
on the trees early in the morning that
| gathered up sticks and made little
fire so the pickers could warm their

i he was evidently thinking of the Eng lishWoman, for nowhere are women so poorly endowed from the hand of their maker as in England.
 The idea that it takes an English Womans figure and carriage to set off Paris gown makes one laugh. The present Paris fashions in gowns call for soft outlines and slender fig ures which our Frenchwomen possess from the very beginning of their flap perhood until they begin to neglect themselves and grow too stout, but | to think of the average Englishwoman in connection with "la ligne' is ab- surd Of course we all know that some English girls possess lovely fig ures, but to the average English woman nature has been far too gen. erous in regard to Dones which are Einsufficiently covered with flesh, and their hands and feet are entirely too masculine.
 If the champion of the English woman as the best dressed women ln l the world had restricted himself to answering that if their gowns had made a bad impression on the Ameri- can lady critic. Paris was to blame' l for probably women of no country spend more money on Paris gowns than those of England, l should not ! have. had word to say, and l VIII readily admit that Englishwomen do all that anybody could do to hlde their naturally defective anatomy, but it come to talking about figures ana carriage and grace no woman III the world approaches the Parlslenne though the American girl is not very far behind.

A colorei couple was taken before the Juvenile court and against the man was plac d the charge of neg leet1ng his children. Judge Taylor gave advice as to what should be done to straighten out the family trouble 50 the couple could continue .o live together and support the children.

 You must leave the house you are living in and move to a smaller one with lower rent. You ought not to pay over $5 or $6 month for rent" The mother objected to this, saying that she could not live ln a respecta- ble neighborhood under such condi. tions
 The judge found that they belonged to different churches, and be advised that the wite join the husbands church. He added that it was proper that the husband hold the purse strings.

 From French operettes and musical comedies we all know how the "vivan- diers, the pet of officers and privates used to look.
 In the days of the great Napoleon and after, the cantinieres wore not only the dolman and the tightfitting riding brooches, but little silver spurs adorned her pretty tasseled boots. Napoleon knew what feeling the pres ence of lovely women inspires in the bosom of fighting men and he loved the 'vivandiere' and gave full licens= to her exhuberant fantastics, so that the lady of the canteen had the effect of a tropical bird that had strayed in- to the cruel Russian snoWs and al- ways she was charming That was part of the tradition of her calling As far back as in the time of Louis XIV, Marechal ,Comte Maurice de Saxe gave strict injunctions to his generals to choose as "vivandieres" only pretty women. From that time the word "cantiniere' has always been qualified and preceded by "La Belle.' from the "cantiere. It is M, Detailles task to bring romance back to life.

BUSINESS Is PRESSING

Sam b. Bradner member of the leg

nounced his determination to hand
his resignation TO Governor G.. w. p.

When the special session OF the

rendered the position of secretary OF

Recently the question was raised
as to Bradner's eligibility to hold his
membership in the legislature and the
live stock secretaryship at the same
time. II became known the he would
resign from the legislature rather
than give up his secretaTyship.
IN speaking of his intended resigns-
ton which was TO go to the governor
yesterday Mr.. Bradner is quoted by
the Gazette as follows:
