HALLWAY MnrNels

Some remarkable feats In railway
construction have been accomplished
IN the Rocky mountain states. Pas
Sos that "a few years ago were deem
ed insurmountable have been scaled,
seemingly impossible canyons have
been threaded. and mountains have
been tunneled to cnt down heavy
grades until the barrier OF the Rock
ics has become 40 barrier ut all.
But n generation ago engineers
pronounced Colorado hopeless from
u railway viewpoint. Yet today
there are several railways making
daily climbs OF the main range IN
Colorado. and u railroad built not 30
long ago from Denver toward Salt
Lake climbs the barrier az q point
where twenty years ago engineers
said no roadbed could be successfully
made.

THE DAIRY COLUMN.
(By f. w. Culbertson.)


Sell two of the boarded cows and put
in one that pays profit. H. o. Davis,
of Granger, WASH, sold two Holstein
hehers to a Chehalis man for $1,000.
The government statistics informs us
that there are shipped into the state of
Washington annually about 100000
worth of dairy products. If 1t pays east
ern farmers. who have higher priced lands
than we have, to produce these products
and pay high freight rates on them out
here, why will 1t not pay us to produce
them at home?
+, Arthur Ketcham, of Wenatchee and
Geo. Sprouse, of Twisp have returned
from Chicago with three car loads, 9S
head, of blooded stock, which were bought
for the purpose Of establishing the Hol-
stein breed, the best for dairying in the
Methow valley.
A ton of butter fat, worth about 500,
takes less than SO cents worth of plant
food from the farm, while a ton of wheat,
oats or alfalfa hay, worth from SIS to $50,
will take from the soil fertility worth
about s. for each ton sold off the farm.
A business farmer asked me If Hol-
stein calf was worth 800 or $1,000, as he
had seen the price mentioned in one of
my former articles. knew l had no Hol-
stein Fresians, and would not misquote
anyway. I will quote from the Farm and
Home of North Yakima What is be-
lieved to be the highest price ever paid
for a calf In the United States has been
received by John Arfman, of New York,
who sold King Pontiac Acartra Petite, a
six weeks old bull calf, to DR.. b. B. Hand
of Scranton, Pa, for $4,000. The sire of
the calf is the $4,000 bull King Segris
Pontiac Alcartra. The dam of the calf is
Fairmont Xerma Segris Pietje. She pro-
duced 1861 pounds Of butter in seven
days, and she is the junior four year old

THE ETHEL CASE.

A few weeks ago the Gazette publish
ed a statement made by Garland Ethel
young son of the late J. II. Ethel called
forth by an item published in number
of papers relative to the disposition of
the Ethel remains. In the statement
made by Garland Ethel the responsible
ity for existing conditions was laid to
the door of r. F. McCampbel, of Okano-
gan. There was no intention on the part
of this paper to do Mr.. McCampben an
injustice the case was presented wholly
as set forth by young Ethel. In order to
be fair with Mr.. McCampbell, whose
heart certainly appears to be in the right
place, the following self-eXplanatory letter
written by Mr.. McCampbell TO Mrs. Ethel

In addition to the cutting out and dis
injecting process the department advises
orchardists to take steps to keep their
trees healthy and strong, but not over
vigorous, so as to be highly resistant to
pear blight 1t warns orchardists to be
careful in the use of manures and fer
tilizers around fruit trees, as anything
which increases the rate of growth of
the tree hastens the spread of the local
lied infection.
The department has thoroughly tested
all known or suggested measures for
coping with this blight 1t has found
the cutting out and washing with the
solution the one reliable and practical
measure, and recommends it as a fully
tested and successful remedy.
| This cutting out method will not save
all trees, nor is 1t effective with certain
varieties of pear trees which are par
| ticularly subject to the ravages of the
pear blight. 1t has, however, saved the
