canes of last years growth, which are
tied to wires. When the buds put forth
in the spring, the green leaves COM
pletely hide the punches of grapes
forming on the vine. The long trellis
wire becomes a solid mass of green
cry. This protects the fruit against
the hot rays of the summer sun.
After the Raisin Grapes are picked
they are dried on wooden trays in the
open field where they receive all the
CLEAN of the California sun. When
n side of the Raisins is sufficiently
colored by the sun an empty tray is
placed over the full one, and two men
turn the trays quickly, as a miner
turns a FLAP jack" When this side
of the Raisins is sufficiently colored,
these wooden trays are stacked, an air
space of two inches being left between
the trays. This permits the Raisins
to cure in the shade with plenty of air
circulating round them. The result is
a Raisin lighter in color and of better
flavor than those which are cured en-
tirely in the sun. The finest Raisins
are of the light, slightly amber color.
Muscats dry away about three and
one-third to one, that is, it takes three
and a third pounds of ripe Muscat
grapes to make one pound of Raisins.
Seedless Sultanas and Thompson's dry
away from four to four and a half to
one, sometimes even five to one.
When the Raisins are thoroughly
cured they are placed in the sweat
box" which is about 3x2x1 feet, hold
ing from 125 to 200 pounds of Raisins.
The farmers stack these boxes on their
wagons until they get from two to four
tons on each wagon, and then haul
them to the packing house. Here they
are unloaded and weighed and the
grower is given his weight tag"

loss has been for the most part in
beef cattle, the number of milk cows
remaining practically unchanged.
This decrease in the number of beef
cattle is one of the potent reasons for
the present unusual prices. Ameri-
cans have outstripped their English
cousins in the matter of meat con-
sumption, for available figures show
that the American is the greatest
meat eater on earth. From the fig
ures compiled by the bureau the an
nual per capita consumption of meat
is 1872 pounds, of which so pounds are
beef. This is 40 pounds more than
the per capita consumption of Ger
many or France, and 25 pounds more
than the consumption of England.
Inspection work of the bureau for
the year was conducted at $40 estab-
lishmentS in 259 cities and towns.
There were inspected at the time of
slaughter 59,O14,O19 animals. There
were condemned in post mortem in
spection 203 ,778 whole and
667,637 parts of carcasses. In addi-
ton there were condemned 10, O96 ,5S7
pounds of meat and meat products
that had become unfit for consump-
ton after original inspection. The
inspected animals constituted about
60 per cent of the entire slaughter of
the United States. OF the remaining
40 per cent 20 was ON farms and 20
by local butchers.

LANDSLIDE HALTS
BLUESTEM BRANCH
Work of Opening the Grade VII! Be
Delayed Until August.

Work of Opening the Grade VII! Be
Delayed Until August.
Miles, Wash.-A landslide occurred
recently on the Bluestem-Miles extern
sion of the Great Northern railway at
the c. p. Johnson samp, about two
miles above Peach in the Hawk creek
canyon. This is one of the largest
slides that has occurred and will delay
the work of opening the grade until
August or September. This news is
di~scouraging to farmers and fruit
growers who expected to be able to
ship via rail his fall. Apprehension
is felt that the road has been delayed
another year.
When the work was first begun at
the point where the recent slide &C.
Cured the engineers arranged for
making a tunnel, but as the work
progressed this was found impractical
on account of the sandy nature of the
hill through which the tunnel was pro-
Jected and it was decided to make a
large cut. After the cut was in progress
and nearly completed last fall, a heavy
slide occurred that delayed the COM
pletion of the work until this spring.
No one was injured or caught in
the. slide, as the crews were not at
work at the time. Engineers, who
have examined the hill where the
slide occurred, suspect that it is COM
posed of quicksand.
