Early Morning Fire Does $4,000
Damage TO ROderick Tailoring
Plant and A. d. Baum Music
House

The fire department was called out
at 5 o'clock Saturday morning by a
blaze in the Roderick Tailoring COM
pany rooms and the A. d. Baum
music house. When discovered. the
flames, which originated in the rear
OF the Roderick establishment, had
eaten their way through the parti-
ton and into the Baum store. The
fire was probably caused by an cleo
trio iron having been left connected
the night before in the Roderick es-
adjustment, and damage amounting
to about $4,000 was done to the two
places. In the Baum store several
high-priced pianos were blistered and
scorched and considerable damage
was done by water. Mr.. Baum esti-
mates his damage at about $4,000.
which was aim ost entirely covered
by Insurance, while the damage in
the tailoring establishment was prob
ably $1,000, with nearly enough in

In the last four years Mr.. Baum

March 1, 1910, flooded his estab-

to give every possible assistance to
the attending physician in securing
the blood from which to make the

necessary to take blood from only
four of them, Messrs. Hays, Hanra-

disappointment at not being called

The blood was taken by DR.. j. w.

Guided by talk by Farmer" c. L.
Smith of Spokane upon 1.-THE I'm

Grower" AS in the previous dis
cussions, Mr.. Smith criticised the
ante-dated one-crop farming system,
and throughout his talk preached
the gospel of diversification. THE

IN diversification because they know
that the greatest volume of products
come from those districts which prac-
tioe diversification. If you don't get
onto the band wagon you will soon
be in the same hole as those eastern
ers are whose soil is so thin that
they have to double it up to raise
crops on it. 1t may be 60 feet deep
and virgin rich, but you use only
the top five inches and a single crop
system without the use of manure
is sure to bring disaster"
Big Dairy Profits
Handsome returns from dairy
farming in the Palouse country have
been the experience of j. C. Graham,
owner of the North Slope Dairy
Farm, Palouse, Wash, who related
his practical experiences before the
visiting farm ers Monday afternoon.
Said Mr.. Graham
81 now own 200 acres, of which
about 40 only are fit for cultivation,
the rest being the side of a butte
and good only as pasture during the
spring months. Yet these 140 acres,
during 1913, yielded 200 tons of hay,
$50 sacks of oats and barley, 100
tons of ensilage, 400 sacks of pota-
toes, and nearly $3.50 worth of fruit.
Most of this crop was turned into
milk or will be before the winter is
over, During 1913 we shipped to
Spokane 44,700 gallons of milk,
valued at $8940. There are now 40
COWS in the herd and 27 head of
over 20 calves and supplied our own
family. l have also sold $4S6 worth
of young calves
The yearly figures on milk, calves
and fruit, given by Mr.. Graham, are
as follows: 1913, $9756; 1912,
$3.50; 1911, $4,000.
only the milk and a few calves
have been taken off the place." says
Mr. Graham, land this has been off
set by extra feed which has been
brought in from the outside. l have
not been robbing the soil, but put
back hundreds of dollars worth OF
fertilizer and next years yield will
be still greater.
