"DAIRYING BRINGS RESULTS"
SAYS WHITE BLUFFS FARMER

Down at Kennewick you find,
almost everywhere you go, evidence
of the good already resulting from
dairying in that part of the
Columbia river valley says J..
F. Coleman on his return from a
visit to the down river city a few
days ago.
At an agricultural school held
while l was there continued the
we'll known White Bluffs rancher,
deep interest was manifested by the
crowded audiences of farmers which
assembled at every meeting. From
the volley of questions they fired at
the expert dairymen who conducted
the meetings it was apparent that
the farmers were anxious to increase
their knowledge of the business.
All the business men L talked
with said that dairying has made a
surprising change in the steady
financial condition of farmers. They
said their customers, who were in
the dairy business, always had
enough ready money to meet their
bills and they took advantage of
cash discounts and other short cuts
to profit and saving.
Dairying tells its own story wher-
ever it has been properly tried. For
a given term of years-say 1O-more
clear money will be made from 10
COWS than from a 2O-acre orchard

PORTLAND STOCK MARKET
Receipts for the week have he,

Receipts for the week have been
Cattle, 1881; calves, 10; hogs,
1884; sheep, 1926; horses, 20.
Cattle liquidation this week has
been far short of supplying trade
requirements. Killers show keen
desire for prime beef, but are not
overlooking medium grades, so ur.
gent is the call. Heavy fed steers
steady to strong at 81 so to $7.75
fully quarter higher than previous
market periods. All claims of but
cher stuff selling strong, with COWS
and heifers having the lead, tops
bringing s6.75 Friday.
The swine market experienced
sharp losses during the week, as
receipts totaled over 5000 head
and proved veritable glut to trade
channels. Opening at So. 90 to IS. 10
Monday, the market dropped to
$3.50 by mid-week and closed
steady to weak $7.5 to $7.65.
The mutton market is steady to
shade higher and the tendency is
decidedly upward. Receipts have
been unsatisfactory and anxious
buyers are bidding stronger prices
for prime ewes and wethers.
Three carloads of wethers, selling
at $3.50 and ewes at 81 so indicate
the bullish attitude in the sheep
house. Few lambs are coming for
ward and the market is steady to
strong. Top sales made around
1878.

DRINK BUTTERMILK

Do you wish to live to a good old
age? Then, according to Metch-
nikoff, European scientist, drink
sour milk drinks, especially butter
milk. He shows in his book, THE
Prolongation of Life," that life is
greatly shortened by the formation
of poisons in the alimentary canal
caused by non-acid forms of bacteria
and yeasts.
The presence of Tactic acid bac-
terra prevents or greatly hinders the
formation and, growth of these pois-
onous forms. Hence the use OF
buttermilk or other sour milk drinks
which contain the Tactic acid bac-
terra in great numbers tends towards
the promotion of health and the
prolongation of life. The use Of
fresh butter will have the same ef-
feet, though not to so great de-
gree, as it contains fewer of the
Tactic acid bacteria.
Ordinary packed butter is to be
avoided where fresh butter can be
secured, first because it contains
fewer, if any, of the benefcent bac-
terra, and second because it may
contain wild yeasts and other bac'
terra that are injurious to health.
Again the farmer is to be con.
graduated. He can have all the
fresh butter that he needs and car
know that it is clean. He can drink
buttermilk every day, and, if his
life is clean and honest and we'll Or
dered otherwise, he can live to ar
honorable and honored old age.

SWEET CLOVER

A good illustration of the progress
of evolution in our fields, changing
worthless weeds over to the list of
valuable plants, is seen in the
very recent discovery that sweet
clover, the old New England pest,
too bitter for cattle to eat, and hard
to eradicate where it had hold,
has almost suddenly become one of
the most highly valued at all our
legumes. One of the Agricultural
College reports states it strongly
that there is not one clover in our
fields of more value for hay, nor
any other so good to turn under for
green manure. 1t comes next to
alfalfa for feed and as a pasture is
way ahead. On poor land it shows
it's most valuable characteristic.
Where there is almost no humus
sweet clover will make a good stand
of pasture, and if taken with other
grasses will constitute as good a pas
ture as can be had by the fourth
year. The bitter taste, while at
first Objectionable to cattle, indi-
Gates the presence of cumarin, which
is a preventative for bloating. Here
we have one of our most trouble
some weeds, not only lifted out of
the rank of pests, but transferred
by careful experimentation, which
constitutes the new farming, into
one of our most valuable foods and
fertilizers. 1t is a good New Years
note. 1t looks now as if Nature
were book with only few leaves
open.

Some dairymen dose their cows In
this way with carbolic acid every two

dreaded disease might break out.
Another simple method. which can
be used when cows are in pasture, is
to mix thoroughly 100 pounds Of barrel

TO ASPARAGUS GROWERS

Asparagus growers are advised to
get Bulletin No. 1853, Bureau Of
Plant Industry, U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
On the question of eradicating
rust from asparagus beds, the bull
letin says that though the control
of rust in commercial paintings will
sometime be attained by pedigree
breeding and careful methods of
production, yet as some years must
elapse before this can be accom-
plished, it is necessary to use all
practicable means of keeping the
rust out and preventing the destruc-
ton of existing fields of asparagus
by the rust.
Wild asparagus plants growing
around the borders of the fields,
along fences and bitches, are one of
the worst enemies of the grower.
These wild plants are centers of in
lection and their influence can easily
be traced later in the season when
the cutting beds have grown up.
Wild plants, wherever found,
should be dug up and burned. New
beds should be planted at only rare
intervals of time and then if pos

POTATOES FOR HOGS

At the farmers school the ques-

we're good feed for hogs. H. L.
Blanchard, assistant superintendent
of the Washington Experiment Sta
ton. says that potatoes may be fed
to hogs in about this proportion:
Four pounds of potatoes have been
found equal to one pound of grain,
and 445 pounds of potatoes equal to
100 pounds of corn meal. The po-
tatOes should be cooked and mixed
with the meal.
