In behalf of representatives of the

lation league, club women and others

cause of legislation for the people |

cause the writer went to Olympia as a
representative of the State Federation
of Labor alone and with no thought of
assuming this added duty.
Early in the session, however, he was
glad to meet representatives of these
other organizations and learned that
they too could forsee the advantages of
unity of action in behalf of all meas
ures upon which they could agree, against
those to which they We're opposed, and
each for his respective organization
without prejudice toward others, if
question arose where agreement was not
reached.
On this basis temporary joint legis
lative committee was formed, which
met each evening in the rooms of the
federation, planned its work. reported on
duties assigned, centralized efforts
where needed, and worked harmoniouslv
and unitedly, for or against, all issues
as agreed. 1t is extremely gratifying to
note, that these forces which had never
attempted united action before, reached
unanimous conclusions ON all issues be-
fore them. To the writer, because of
previous experience in the work, fell the
task of explaining legislative procedure,
possible pitfalls, loopholes, entangle
ments and combinations, either favorable
or to be avoided. In short, he became
of necessity a bureau to whom Others
came for information and direction.
While this in sense retarded his in
dividual efforts it was essential and re-
suited finally in the greatest good to
the greatest number.

tBy GEORGE G. HUSSMANN, Pomolo-
gist. United states Department OF
Agricultural
There are three distinct viticultural
regions In the United States which
segregate themselves by the grape
species grown in them.
The Vinlfers region, in which Whit
era varieties are almost exclusively
OF the Rocky mountains. so much OF
1t being in California that those not
conversant with grape varieties erro-
neouBly call them California grapes.
With few exceptions either the spur.
stool or short pruning system is used
for the stockier growing varieties, and
the long or cane pruning system is
usually used for the longer growing
varieties, but either system is often
modified to suit individual varieties.
Thus the spurs are sometimes left
longer In the spur system, and either
spurs and canes left longer or spurs
cut on the laterals in the cane system.
Stakes only are used to give the
vines the necessary support. this
method allows the vineyard to be cul-
tivated crosswise as well as length
wise. Vines trained on trellises are
comparatively rare in California.
The more generally known Vinifera
varieties grown in this district are the
Alexandria. Alicante Bouschet. Ara
mon, Burger. Cabernet. Snuvegnun.
Cslmette, Carignane, Chasselas de
Fontainebleau, Cornichon, Emperor,
Flame Tokay Green Hungarian, Gre.

Mourestel, Pizzutella, Petit Syrnh

This region comprises all that part
of the United States which lies east
OF the Rocky mountains. Of late
years a few paintings have also been
made in parts of oregon and Wash

after pruning the canes are tied and
spread fan shaped on the trellis, as
they should be, the young upright
growing shoots fasten themselves by
their tendrils and need practically no
tying, This system has the disad.
vantage OF bearing the fruit too low
and is not now so generally in use
as formerly.
A system combining some OF the
points of several other systems is the
horizontal block system. In this the
vines are manipulated as with the
other systems and pruned for the first
four years, after which the unpruned
vine is pruned as shown in the illus.
tratlon. As practiced in some locali-
ties this system appears to be a com
bination of the highrenewal and the
horizon alarm spur systems.

SEPARATING YOUNG AND OLD
Growing PulIet Requires More Food
Than Old Birds and Feeds Better
When by Herself.

Young chickens, like young people,
have more or less timidity, and there
fore 1t is not well to run young and
Did together, at least It is much bet
ter TO have them separate II you can
well do 30. Then again the pullets are
still growing, and they need plenty OF
transforming feed. such as barley,
bone, meat, with less of fattening
foods.
The hen should not be deprived OF
these either, but she can get along on
less, as what you give her will not be
taken away from the purpose for
which you intended 1t, as in the case
with the pullet, which not only needs
these things for making the egg but
to go toward the development OF her
body.
1t naturally follows, too, that the
developed bird will require less feed
than the pullet, and because the pull
let Is somewhat timid she is likely
not to get enough, or even her
share. The young will feed more free
among themselves, and. If you can
possibly do so, keep them to them
selves.

Water From Cow Puzzles Paris In
speetors Until Secret Is
Discovered.

Paris.-For many weeks complaints
have been received that the milk sold
by Paris dairyman was too thin;
samples were taken by the police, and
on each occasion the milk was found
to contain large proportion OF water
Despite this. the man vehemently
protested his innocence and invited
the police to visit his dairy at any
time to see the cows MIXED. Two in
spectors did so, and after witnessing
the milking carried away the milk
which on examination was found to
contain a large proportion Of water.
The visits were repeated, but each
time the milk which came straight
from the COW was found to be too
thin.
The police were much puzzled until
one day Inspector Debout noticed that
the milkman. who was very fat, milk
ed with only one hand. Another curl
Gus point was that he also seemed to
grow thinner as the milk pail grew

District.

New York.-Antonio Janke, a milk.
man, OF 1913 East One Hundred and
Thirteenth street. was making his
rounds before daylight, when he came
to 231 East Ninety-Ninth street He
carried his case OF milk bottles in one
hand and a lantern in the other to
guide him up the darkened stairways
OF the tenement, which houses twenty
seven families, to the top floor, where
Vincent Piccio lives with his wife and
children.
AS Antonio reached the top OF the
stairs he saw something red sputter-
ing away in the darkness. He turned
his lantern upon IL and saw It was the
end OF lighted fuse that was rapidly
eating its way to percussion cap OF
an Internal machine.
Antonio quickly ripped off the cover
of one Of his milk bottles and
drenched the fuse, Then he ran down
stairs and found a policeman. who
went to the tenement with him and
took the bomb to the East One Hun
dred and Fourth street police station.
The entire tenement was thrown
Into a panic when It was discovered
that the house had been marked for
destruction.
The bomb weighed about eight
pounds and was filled with dynamite
and nitro-glycerin. Experts OF the bu-

DEER SOME FIGHTER
Truthful Tale Told by veracious
Yves Peterson.

When Horse Kicks Him (Deer)
to peath-Estra Ration For

ukiah.-Here is the gold medal deer
story OF the season:
II is the tale of Wes Peterson. the
amiable stage driver OF Anderson val

master with deep affection and cares
naught for the fact that deer are i'm
mune from the death penalty after

AS Peterson was driving his stage
near Philo he espied two deer In the
road ahead Of his team. Evidently TIE
deer knew that they were protected
by law. for they made no effort to flee
before the stage. Yves had his trusty
rife with him, but he is conscien-
tious stage driver and would not sue
cumb to temptation, as many another
man in the remote Businesses of An
derson valley might. He merely said
30" to the deer, or Get thee behind
me. Satan," or words to that effect
When the deer had grown tired OF
tantalizing the law abiding Yves they
turned from the road and leaped up
an embankment. A wire fence was
strung along at the edge OF the bank,
and this the deer sought to clear. One
Of the animals hurdled the fence with
out difficulty. but the buck, who car

the deer, but there was no reward for
him. Instead Of showing gratitude, the
deer turned savagely with its horns

The care OF the fowls is one OF the

Exposure to hot weather is as dan

The poultryman must keep every
thing clean and sweet about the

Linseed meal Is good to mix with
the mash during moulting season. 1t
helps digestion and regulates the

The average farm poultryman cares
mere for the number Of eggs hen
lays in a year than the number of
prizes she wins at the shows.
Rough timber used in the poultry

Peterson was badly cut up by the
