ALL MONEY NOT LEGAL TENDER


1t would probably surprise most
people to know that all OF the Ameri
can money, meaning United States
Is not legal tender. AS a matter oil
fact there is bigger surprise yet
and that is the knowledge of how lit
tie of this money is actually legal
tender
Legal tender" means money that
can be given in payment of debt or
obligation of any sort to the creditor
lin full payment of demands"
OF course we have a special enact.
ment in our country which stipulatea
that no foreign coin of any kind or
denomination is legal tender in the
United States. But aside from all
this. there is lot OF our own coin
and the word here includes paper
money, that is not legal tender, al
though of course, practically every
one will accept it without any ques,
ton. The point is, however, there are
various sorts of our money which are
perfectly good, but which, if it came
tender.
In the first place there are ten
kinds of money in circulation in our
country, never counting foreign mon
ey. All of 1t may look alike, yet ali
OF these ten varieties are not exactly
legal tender. These ten varieties in
clude:
Gold coins, standard silver dollars,
subsidiary silver, gold certificates, sill
yer certificates, Treasury notes, Uni
ted States notes (greenbacks), ma
tional bank notes, nickel coins and
bronz coins.
Some of the most impressive of the
paper currency included in the above
list is not legal tender at all AS for
minor coins, they are legal tender in
such small amounts as would surprise
ninety-nine out of every hundred PEG
pie.
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which
such large quantities circulate every
where in this country, are not legal
tender Silver dollars are legal ten.
der and may be paid as such to any
amount, bat silver half and quarter
dollars are legal only to the amount
of ten dollars, while nickels and cop
per or bronze coins are legal tender
only to the amount of twenty-five
cents.
Treasury notes of the act of 1899
are legal tender to their face value
in payment of all debts, public and
private, unless in some contract stipu
lation is made to the contrary. To be
exact. the United States notes or
green backs, as they are equally well
known, are legal tender, with the eX
ception of duties on imports and in
treest on the public debt. Practically
however, since the resumption OF
specie payment in 1879. green backs
have been received freely and with
out question by the Government.
While the gold and silver certiii'
Gates are not legal tender as be
tween individuals, both issues are re
ceipable for all Government dues OF
whatever sort. In this respect they
are legally more acceptable than the
greenbacks, National bank notes
while not legal tender and not re
ceivable for duties on imports, may
be paid by the Government for sal
aries and IN discharge oil all ueDts
of the Government, except interest
dues and in redemption OF nationa
currency.

TWO VALUABLE BULLETINS.

Two important bulletins have reach
ed our desk during the past week. The
first was No. $50, entitled Important
Poultry Diseases. - 1t takes up the
different diseases of poultry and in a
manner easily understood, shows how
the diseases can be determined and
gives the best remedies for both pre-
vention and cure. Poultrymen should
have this bulletin in their libraries.
The other is Farmers Bulletin No.
531, and treats on the larkspur, or
poison weed. 1t gives a description
so that stock raisers can determine
what this weed is. It describes the
effect of poisoning on stock and sug-
gests some remedies. AS one specie
of larkspur is well known in Oregon
and more or less known in Washing
ton, stock growers should get this
bulletin and be on guard.

The enormous cost of building hard
surface roads is brought forcible to
the attention of our readers by the
action of the commissioners of King
county who last week awarded con-
tracts for twelve miles of road at a
contract price of 1926, 600, nine miles
of this road is to have a five inch
concrete base, topped with vitrified
brick. While this makes good road
it is a serious question whether the
taxpayers can afford such an expense.
We believe the farming sections Of
the state must rely on gravel roads,
and if these are properly built and
properly drained, they make an ideal
road. In fact, autom obilists are be-
ginning to turn their attention to
gravel roads in preference to hard
surface roads, except where they are
covered with asphalt. An asphalt
road will not bear up under an auto
mobile truck, nor heavily loaded mar
row tired drays. Good earth roads,
properly dragged, can be built at a
cost that farmers can afford to pay,
and make the best of roads

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

Since the last Ranch was published
Governor johnson, of California, has
signed the anti alien land bill, anC
the government is facing a serious
situation with Japan. The passage
of this bill naturally greatly incensec
the Japanese of California, and the
Japanese government. There is con
siderable war talk and all kinds OF
rumors of future trouble.
There is scarcely doubt that il
Japan was not -burdened witt
debt that war would be not only pos
slble but probable, and war witt
Japan would be no summers day Jot
by any means In fact, the Japanese
navy is almost equal to our own anC
the fighting capacity of their soldiers
has been abundantly proven.
We approve of Governor Johnson
action and we still think that he was
entirely right, but the American
people have opened up one of the
most serious questions they will ever
have to solve by the action Of Cali
fornia. Since the days that Ham,
Shem and Japhet, sons of Noah.
separated and went their several
ways, each one to found races OF
different colors, there has been a
struggle between their children.
This present fight is only an out
cropping of this struggle occurring in
a different place. 1t is no petty
struggle between few Japanese in
California and the white citizens
there. 1t is question as old as his
tory and as wide as the world. 1t is
really a question of white race VS..
yellow race. and the question will
never be solved right until this is
recognized by the nations themselves.
The Japanese are our equals intel
lectualIy and our superiors in in
dustry and economy. These facts
make the settlement of this question
one of great difficulty. The races
will not mix The white people OF
the world must stand shoulder to
shoulder in this contest because if il
came to a contest where the survival
of the fittest would prevail the white
race would lose the battle for the very
reason that they cannot compete either
in industry or economy with the
yellow man. The japanese knows
practically no society. The women
work in the field along side of the
men; they work early and late; know
no Sabbath, and live on a mere pit
lance of what the American family
deems necessary for even decency.
In an uneven contest of this kind
there would be no question of the
result. The white race would soon
become extinct or slaves of the yellow
race. This is why this question,
which has been opened up in Cali

fornia, cannot be settled by the pas
sage of a few laws. 1t will take the

to handle this matter, and even then

THE SIL0, THE FARMERS GOLD

farm products, but we hear our City
Cousins complaining of the high cost
of living, and through their com
plant, we are fearful lest in some way
we lose these high prices. The far
mer is not inclined to believe he is
receiving any more for his produce
than he should. In fact, he maintains
his profit is still too small, and he
should receive more. AS we are an
agricultural people and prosper as the
farmer prospers, we certainly should
rejoice in these high prices of farm
products, but at the same time, we ex-
pect the farmer to use economic
methods in his production. To Illus
trate: We would hear a storm of
complaint if the cloth makers were
using the spinning wheel and charg-
ing prices accordingly. We could
not afford to pay for manufactured
goods, if they we're turned out by old
methods We demand progress in
every department of our industry,
| for the lager pulls back the leader.
| If beef and butter are too high, it
may be because they are not being
produced economically. Therefore,
the consumer certainly has right to
complain il the farmer does not use
economic methods in his husbandry.
There is produced every year in
this country sufficient forage to feed
literally all the live stock of the land
and leave a good balance. The short
age each year is due to the spelling
and wasting of forage already grown.
The means of preserving this forage
| will solve the stock problems of the
country. The principal waste is in
the corn plant. 1t is most noticeable
in the corn belt states, where over 80
per cent of the stalk and leaves of
| this most valuable forage are wasted.
| AS economic stock production is de-
termined by the proper use of forage,
the silo furnishes means whereby
all farm forage can be preserved in
the best possible condition for feed
| ing. The silo is too we'll known to
require description, but it's use is
certainly sadly wanting. 1t can be
safely said that on any farm where
ten head or more cattle are kept, a
silo is a necessary equipment and of
great economic value.
Besides corn, excellent silage may
be made from alfalfa, clover, oats
and peas, rye sorghum, kaffir corn,
millet and milo maize. While corn
| is the principal crop for silage, it is
often made from other plants, es-
pecially during the drouth seasons,
when excellent sorghum and kaffir
corn can be grown as a catch crop.
The first cutting of alfalfa hay during
a wet season is often lost. This could
be put in the silo and saved, and by
feeding it out during the summer
months, the silo can be retilled in the
fall with corn and kaffir corn.
During recent years we have noted
steady increase in the price of hay
lin fact, all forage is higher), and it
is necessary for the stockkeeper to
produce forage at less money than
hay if he wishes to realize a good
profit on his stock. In this capacity

One Hundred Years Ago

This year marks the centennial of the steam locomotive. From curious, crude mechanism drawing a few tons of coal at rate of five miles an hour, the steam locomotive has pushed it's way into every continent, and today trains de luxe are flying over superb tracks, across wonderful bridges and through mountains, in lands which were unknown or uncivilized 100 years ago. The locomotive has made possible our great cities and seaports; it has created states out of vast vacant terri tories. Without it the products of the world would practically remain where they grew, and only small fraction of what is now raised would ever be grown. The greatest working instrument of industry in times of peace, yet equally essential to modern warfare. It is the shuttle which weaves the fabric of a nation, by reason of easy and constant inter communication. 1t has become in these days the pioneer; the people, the press and the pulpit now follow in its wake instead of blazing for it a path. So dependent upon it's service have we become that to utterly paralyze it's operation for long would mean death from cold and famine to millions of our people.-Popular Mechanics Magazine
