The interstate commerce commit.

State Superintendent Dewey of the
public schools, has issued his report
covering two years, ending June Both,
1912. There is a great deal Of in
formation in this report that parents
should be familiar with. He shows
that of 283, 141 children in the state
only 224, 410 are in school. There
was an increase of 8,725 children in
the public schools during the past
two years. The report also shows that
while there we're II, 900 in the 9Th
grade, there were but 10, 300 in the
9th, 10th 18th and 18th grades. A
vast number of pupils finish school
when they finish the 9Th grade. 1t
shows also that less than one-half of
the pupils who entered school in the
first grade continued to the 9Th grade.
Mr.. Dewey has done more to benefit
done before and his report shows that
he is enthusiastic over its success.
He also makes a strong plea for voca-
tional training, pointing to a great
number of schools which are now
teaching manual training and do
nestle science. He also speaks of the
commercial course being added in
many high schools. One recommended
ton he makes should be especially
pleasing to the country district,
wherein he showed that many of the
school districts are now using the
school house as a community center,
thereby making it central meeting
place of all the better gatherings of the
neighborhood. This is as it should
be, a school house should be the
central meeting place for educational
entertainments. of all kinds.

LETTER FROM A POULTRY RAISER

We would like to receive more
letters from practical poultry raisers
like Mr.. Barzee's, whose letter is
printed below; and cordially invite
all readers of The Ranch to write us
on any topic connected with the rails
ing of poultry. Don't hesitate to
disagree with the editor or anybody
else. You are just as apt to be right
as is the other fellow and courteous
disagreement may bring enlighten-
ment to all concerned. Who will be
the next to contribute to the general
fund of knowledge and opinion?

tempts me to ask space in your
columns, not as knocker, but to
state plain facts as they occur to me
and as they will surely come to any
one who tackles poultry business as a
livelihood. 1 have had many people
ask me what to do for various diseases
of their flock and how to rid their
hens and houses of mites, lice, ETC..
of which they had never thought OF
at their beginning in poultry. And
the nice promising broods of perhaps
several hundred chicks suddenly get
some ailment which takes good per
cent of their brood; and they will
work hard to bring as many through
as possible to the laying age only to
find when egg are the best price
their flock is not producing the golden
egg. But all this time they have been
paying out good money and valuable
time. Then their high expectations
takes sudden drop and they feel like
the small dog that tackled something
that was too big for him, only the
would be poultryman can't sneak out
as easy; his work and hard earned
money is spent, and he has his poul-
try houses and yards to keep remind
ing him Of the failure he has made.
But this is not the case with all I
am glad to say. Take in my own
case, out of eight hundred and forty
eight chicks raised two hundred and
ninety pullets to laying age, and 1 am
getting fairly good results, but it has
cost me many years of earnest, hard
work and careful study to accomplish
the success 1 am receiving. So to
the beginner: II you have made up
your mind to go into the poultry
business, think we'll, make up your
mind to put up with back sets and
not be afraid to dig in from daylight
to dark; and don't be afraid or neg
lect the dirty part of the work, for
the keynote is cleanliness to success
with poultry.
Yours truly,

COOPERATIVE ITEMS OF INTEREST
1OurS truly,
e. L. BARZEE.

The National Grange at it's recent
session at SIP okane placed itself
squarely on record favoring the
English Rochdale system of co-opera-
ton and directing the National secre-
tary to prepare suitable directions for
properly organizing cooperative
societies on that system and keep
them on hand for distribution. Also
recommending that State oranges
adopt the same plan SO as to secure
uniformity throughout the United
States. They also recommended the
various State oranges to unite in
securing the enactment of a uniform
cooperative law similar to the one
recently enacted in Wisconsin. The
Washington State grange at it's last
session took similar action. Ask
your legislators to pass such a law

Northwest Stock Show held at Lewis

Canadian steer, which had never
eaten a mouthful of corn, won the
grand prize as the best beef steer
shown. This should make North
western growers feel puted up as they
have been taught to believe that only
corn could make good beef cattle.
The prize steer sold for 81 cents per
pound. The Montana steer which
won at Lewiston was sold for 81. 05
per pound. He was never fed corn
either. When our farmers break away
from the idea that corn is necessary
to produce good steers and hogs they
will have made long step towards
success.

ON the enforcement Of the neutrality

of work in the last few years, and there

reference to troubled Mexico. The OBJ
ject of this work is to discover and pre-
vent hlibustering expeditions setting out
from these shores. or the shipping OF
arms and ammunition to revolutionists
across the border. IL is not as easy a
proposition as il looks at first sight.
There is an extensive legitimate trade i'm

many ways for filbusters TO operate
under cover. About ~ per cent of all
arms shipped to South America by fill
busters are old. discarded Mausers, Krag-

widely sold by many retail dealers. a
hl:buster usually distributes his orders,
buying a few aims here and there. When

chase, and, of course, 10 intelligent dealer
