there is plenty of room for the milk
as soon as she freshens. The milk
veins found on the under side of the
body carry the blood from the body
and in a good dairy COW these should
be large and the milk wells where the
veins enter the body should also be
large and numerous. The general
make up should be lean rather than
beefy, showing that she puts the
feed, not on her back but into the
milk pail
A great deal more profit will be the
result it the remarks given by Prof.
Severance on "Farm Manures" will
be remembered and his suggestions
followed "Too much valuable fer
tilizer is lost today" said Prof.
Severance, "by exposing our barn yard
to the weather at every season of the
year. If we calculate the value of the
different fertilizing constituents
found in barnyard manure using as
basis the market price Of these as
they exist today in the shape of COM
mercial fertilizers the COW voids
annually $32. 30 worth of fertilizers and
it would benefit the land to that ex-
tent or even more if we could save
and apply it properly. Manure should
not be piled loosely but rather packed
solidly to exclude the air. II the air
is not excluded it will be sure to de-
cay. Over half of the manure value is
lost when piled to decay The liquid
manure should by all means be caught.
1t is a serious mistake to allow it to
drain out into creek or draw where
it can never be used. "
The question as to whether manure
should be hauled out on the field
daily or to a proper pit for storing
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-01-01

was discussed. 1t was decided that ii
the ground was in a condition to re-
tain the fertility it was best to haul
it out daily, but if the ground was
frozen underneath and the manure
allowed to thaw with the snow on top
there was danger of having a large
part of it run off with the surface
water. Again if the ground is not
frozen the heavy rains will leach out
the fertilizing constituents and if the
ground is at all sandy these will drain
off. The question of saving the
manure depended on these four con-
ditions: ~. Catching all the liquid
manure to be distributed over the
land. z. Packing the solid manure

Hon. Fred Mess. His talk emphasiz-
ed the fact that better COWS made
better satisfied COW owners and a sue
cess could not be expected unless we
weed out the Improbable COWS.
Mrs. j. B. Gouchnour of Montesano,
told how to raise the dairy calf. She
declared it important to give the calf
all it needed while young so as to
form good foundation for the future
milk producer. The calf must have
strong constitution and good capa-
city; and she pointed out that this
was impossible without liberal feed
ing. Light and plenty Of fresh air
we're also some of the essentials men
toned. A calf cannot be expected to
thrive it shut up in a damp, dark
stall and never be allowed to see the
light Plenty of out door freedom
was advocated and with it all clean
food whether it be milk, grain or hay.
The ''Success in Dairying" that can
be expected after practiciDg correct
methods Of management was pointed
out by Mr.. E. L. Brewer of Satsop.
He has an elegant herd of pure bred
JERSEYS that are paying him a good
profit. He pays a great deal of atten-
ton to feeding and makes an effort
to raise all the feed necessary for his
COWS on his own farm; buying only
some of the concentrates. Mr.. Brewer
is much Interested also in the adj
vanced record work, having had a
number of his COWS on the years test
according to the rules laid down by
the American Jersey Cattle Club.
On the second day Mr.. F. HI.
Scribner who is an expert on dairy
ing from Washington, D. g., opened
up the program by giving the boys
stock judging class talk on how to
judge dairy COW. This proved of
much interest both to the boys and
to other members of the association.
He said in part: ga good dairy COW
is usually determined by performance
at the milk pail, but if we are unable
to learn what she can or has produced
we can get good idea as to her ability
as a milk producer by judging her
appearance. She must have a clear
cut face, rather slim, nostriIs large
and open, showing that she can take
in lots of air. She should have a
broad muzzle indicating good grazer;
eyes should be large and not sleepy
looking; Ter forehead should be broad
and face slightly dished. A large
heart girth mean plenty of space for
the vital organs and indicates a strong
constitution. A large barrel indicates
good capacity and that is certainly
desirable in dairy COW, for she can
not be expected to produce milk un-
less she can eat lots of feed from
which to make it.
"The udder is the most important
organ and on a good dairy COW it
should be large but not too fiesby.
If the COW is dry she should have

One Negro Voted in
Primary "Wednesday;
It Won't Be Counted

j. 0. Cochran. secretary of the county
Democratic executive committee, de-
clares today that a meeting of the sub
committee will be called at once to con-
slider throwing out the vote of a negro
which was cast at the Second ward vot-
ing place in the primary Wednesday.
1t is not known for whom the negro
voted, but Mr.. Cochran says whether
he is Democrat or not had nothing to
do with his right to cast ballot, as a
strictly white primary was being held
The negro is an ex-slave. but the
managers do not remember his name
He made up his own ballot and after
folding it handed it to the managers.
Frank Cohen protested against allow
ing it to be put in. But the negro in
sisted that he was a Democrat and
James Bell and H. Cronheim persuaded
the other managers that the vote should
be counted. They say as he was the
only negro who voted they can find his
ballot if the committee wants it.
a fact noted by the managers at all
the voting places was that many
scratched all the candidates for presi-
dent. presumably because they intend
to vote other than the Democratic tick
ct in the general election. A number of
votes were cast for Theodore Roose-

SYSTEM URGED
Duplication Of Street Names
Also Causes Trouble in
Mail Deliveries.

AS a result of vigorous protest from
officials of the postof1ce and the Cham
Der of Commerce council will probably
adopt the centenary plan of street num-
bering. This is the plan arbitrarily
giving 100 numbers to the block, which
has proved satisfactory in many other
cities.
Assistant Postmaster Coles and v.
H. Kriegshaber. of the Chamber of
Commerce, explained to the streets
committee of council yesterday after
noon how the delivery of mails was
handicapped by the duplicates in street
names and the irregular numbering Of
houses. Chairman Harvey Hatcher
and the other members of the commit
tee said they were ready to do anything
they could to improve matters. Chief
Of Construction Clayton said that cor
rect numbers would be furnished at his
office to all who would call for them.
For some time officials have urged
that the present system Of house num-
bertng was out of date and that the
centenary plan should be adopted. I'm
der this plan all the houses in the first
block Of a street are numbered between
l and 100, In the second block. between
100 and 200, and so to the end Thus
when one knows a house number he
also knows the block in which it is To-
Gated. There may be enough houses in
the first block to count only to so, but
the next block would start with 100

Be TING ON FATE
Of MRS. GRACE
Many Take Gambling Chance
on Grand Jury's Action-To
Decide Case Tuesday.

When the new grand jury which or
.ganizes Monday takes some action in
the case against Mrs. Daisy Grace
charged with attempting to kill her
husband, Eugene H Grace, quite few
bets will be settled, as wagers are now
being made on and against her indict-
ment
AS soon as the result in the recent
presidential primary was known and
wagers which had been placed thereon
settled, bettors began placing money on
the action of the grand Jury in the
Grace case.
Odds Against Her.
While odds are being offered against
Mrs Grace-that is, that she will be in
dicted-they are being covered. Many
believe that the evidence given by the
prosecution before Justice J. B. Ridley
when the accused wife was bound over
is insufficient for the grand jury to hold
her on. and do not hesitate to place
their money that way
The grand jury will convene Monday
and organize 1t is not likely that the
Grace case will be taken up before
Tuesday. The bill will be drawn UP by
Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey and only
evidence from the prosecution given. If
the Jury finds true bill Mrs Grace
must face trial in the superior court
between that time and September l If
the jury finds mo bin Mrs Grace viii
be liberated at once.
If she is indicted the lawyers hand
ling her defense viii Immediately put a
demand upon the minutes for an early
trial. After this demand is made the
court must give the accused a trial be-
fore September I, or grant her verdict
of not guilty"
If her wounded husband should die
after the grand jury indicts her, but
before she faces trial in the superior
court, the grand jury can re-indiet her
with the same evidence and change the
charge TO murder instead Of attempted
murder
However. if Mr. Grace should live
until after his Wife has been tried and
then die from his wound the case
against her could not be reopened, no
matter whether she had been convinced
or acquitted at the trial
