RAISES WINTER FLOWERS.

One of the most interesting letters
The Ranch has received from it's sub
scribers for some time was from Mrs.
Lucinda Finn, of New Cedar Place,
Mabama, island county. Mrs. Finn
was formerly nurse in the city and
with her husband has moved to a
farm in Island county, taking great
deal of interest in their gardening
operations. She calls attention to
the fact that it is easy to have a win
ter garden in Western Washington.
She says she planted her winter gar
den on October 9th, and had fresh
radishes and other fresh vegetables
for Christmas dinner. Her peas
grew all winter and are now ready for
the poles. She also tells of the great
success she has with marigolds and
chrysantbemums for winter pleasures.
Her daughter is entering the chill
dren's contests and will farm a 40
foot tract during the summer and
hopes to make a record. The Ranch
extends the wish that she may win
some fine prizes this fall.

toned as being available for feeding
the dairy COW, are decidedly narrow,
that is they are high in digestible
protein, and in order to have a ration
balanced it would be necessary to
have some carbonaceous feeds, such
as barley, oats or corn. L suggest
that you feed all the alfalfa hay the
COWS will eat up clean, and about 10
pounds each of carrots and kale daily.
If your clover pasture is exceptional
ly good it will not be necessary to
feed any succulence except the car
rots; the reason for this being that
the clover will furnish practically
the same nutrients and effects as
would be furnished by the kale. On
the other hand if you have no pasture
at all it will be necessary to feed AS
much as 20 pounds of each kale and
carrots daily. For grain mixture
to supplement this roughage ration,
mix one part bran and two parts
ground oats, or if you have barley,
mix equal parts bran, ground oats,
and ground barley, feeding in the
proportion of one pound to every
three and one half pounds of milk OF

GOOD TOOLS FOR THE FARMER.

Among the tools most convenient
for general farm work, and especially
for garden and orchard work, is the
line known as the Forkner Spring
Tooth Implements, made by the
Light Draft Harrow Company, of
Marshaltown, Iowa. They make big
line of spring tooth harrows, suitable
for almost any kind of soil. They
have taken especial pains to develop
a line to tools which will clear the land
of weeds as we'll as properly stir the
soil. For this reason the tools are in
great demand in dry farming districts
and young orchards. They have re-

KALE A GOOD FEED.

Question: Can you give me any in
formation about kaleY What are its
milk producing qualities, how is it
fed and how much? Should the
whole plant be pulled up, or only the
large leaves pulled off, and the plant
permitted to grown Is it good hog
feed? Can you balance ration from
the following: Shorts, bran. kale,
carrots, oil meal and alfalfa hay?
The COWS are out every day on fairly
good clover pasture. Mrs. H. H. f.
Vancouver, Wash.
Answer: Kale is an excellent dairy
COW feed, and makes an exceptionally
good growth in the vicinity of Van
couver. In some cases the whole
plant is cut when ready to feed, while
in other places where it is possible to
get on to the land at any time in the
year, the leaves are stripped and the
stalk allowed to stand to send out
new leaves. I have known of three
crops being taken off of one plant In
a season. The plant is rich in di-
gestible protein and for that reason
is considered very good milk pro-
Queer. The usual method is to feed
about as many pounds per day as the
COW produces pounds of milk unless
the COW is nearly dry, in which case
she should get some 20 to % pounds
per day. The plant also makes good
hog feed, and for this purpose is sell

A ONE-P1ECE dress, with a skirt

shown here as an unusually good
model for the slender and immature
figure Of the nearly grown girl This
dress is designed for the corsetless
figure and leaves nothing to be de-
sired as model for the miss who is
finishing her school days. The skirt
is set on to the bodice and has a high
waist line. The bodice is supported
by light underwaist and thus the
weight Of the garment is hung from
the shoulders as Well as the hips.
Firmly woven lightweight serges and
other close weaves are appropriate
for this dress. Supple materials that
fall gracefully are the best choice for
the costume.
There is an under petticoat, of lin.
ing with wide border of the material
at the bottom. This straight hanging
skirt Is cut to instep length and of
ample width to insure perfect freedom
in walking. The tunic is laid in box
plaits at the sides and back, with a
straight panel at the front. The plaits
are stitched down to the swell of the
hips and fall free from there to the
bottom. The panel is finished with a
row Of small covered buttons at each

wARNEs LAW RESULTS
fColnmhns nisnatch. rndl

columbus Dispatch, Tud)
The increases in the personal prop
cry returns continue at an astonishing
rate. Here in single day is an in
crease Of more than S10,O0O,0O0 by the
Ohio Oil company at Findlay and Of
nearly s2,OOOOOO in couple of local
cases.
What is doing it? why. the Warnes
law which is being enforced against
tax-dodgers and others who forgot
that they owed any such duty to the
state as a correct return of their per-
sonal property for taxation.
And what is the Warnes law? 1t is
the law that the professional tax.
dodgers and the iobless politicians are
trying to discipline Governor Cox for.
They say he is responsible for it and
so ought to be defeated for governor
next time.
Then you can guess what they
would do, if they ever got men Of their
stripe in Office again They would
send the revised tax returns back to
the dodgers with instructions to cut
the amount down; they would refund
any money collected under the new
returns and let the owners Of real es-
tate, the farmers and others, bear
again their unjust burden.
Is that what the people Of Ohio
want? Those who continue to argue
against the Warnes law are likely to
be destroyed by their own weapons,
when the people let go at the polls.

The withdrawal of Judge Brucker OF
Mansfield as candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for congressman in
this district, greatly simplifies things
political and clears the atmosphere.
Judge Brucker was really the only
rival OF Congressman Ashbrook for
the nomination who was worth consid-
ering in the running Brucker has con-
siderable organizing ability and fac
ulty OF attaching influential men to
himself, and consequently was pre-
pared to put up fight worthy of his
reputation as. a resourceful politician.
Whatever may be Judge Brucker's
real reasons for retiring from the race,
the fact remains that the predominant.
ing sentiment for Congressman ASH
brook for denomination is so strong
over the district that it is recognized
by every one Of political discernment;
and in a primary system for making
nominations, under which the iudiyid
ual party voters are the ones who have
the say in the matter it is well to
heed the well-recogntzed demand for
Ashbrook
The retirement of Brucker leaves no
opposition to Ashbrook that may be
accounted opposition, and it is alto
gether probable that what little there
is will soon entirely disappear, and
that the other gentlemen who have
been more or less prominently men
toned" in connection with the honor
and who may have nurtured an ambi-
tion to go to Washington, will follow
the good example set by Judge Bruck-
err and not enter the primaries Of the
district, thus leaving the nomination
to go to Congressman Ashbrook unani-
mously-the really logical solution of
the situation
Ashbrook's reputation as congress
man who does things for his constitu-
ents and who gets results, has given
him standing with the people that
counts with winning force when the
people have the chance of deciding
nominations, as they do under the pri.
mary system, and in making choice at
the election
The situation in the Seventeenth
district is clarifying rapidly in Con.

a wARNEs LAW VICTORY

From the very beginning until now.
governmental efforts to control the
Standard Oil company have ben fruit
less. Attorney General ID. X. Watson
began the attack more than quarter
of century ago The. effort was re-
sumed under Monnett Judge Lands
assessed the $29,0O00OO fine for re-
,bSting, but the company never paid it,
Then by federal court decree the com
pany was dissoyled, with no benefit to
the public. 1t was left to the Warnes
law TO bring one OF the subsidiary
companies of the trust to time by ad-
ding more than $4,000, 900 60 the per
soma return OF that company for taxa,
. tion In Hancock county and thus Sc,
curing for that county probably the
lowest tax rate in the state.
For this first substantial victory for
the people in the struggle with the
Standard Oil company. there is reason
10 be grateful. And the Warnes Law
alone is entitled TO the credit.
