GIVES OPINION Z
4 ON FULL CREW CI|j


OLYMPIA, April ga freight
train of rs or more cars requires six
trainmen for its operation, under the
full crew law, but If one or more pas
senger cars are added to this train,
it becomes passenger train, reQuir-
ing only five trainmen for its opera
ton, according to an opinion of AS
sistant Attorney General Scott z.
Henderson to the public service COM
mission.
Reports to the public service COM
mission are that the Oregon Wash.
ington. on it's line between Hoquiam
and Centralia, is operating mixed"
train Of rs to 80 freight cars and
one or two passenger cars. The COM
mission asked the attorney generals
Office whether such train would take
passenger or freight train rating. Mr..
Henderson's ruling is that since pas
sengers are carried it is a passenger
train. Therefore fewer trainmen will
be required, under this Interpretation,
than il there were fewer cars.

ments, with large baggage and express

PICKED uPEN POULTRY YARD.
he fowls will need plenty of green

The fowls will need plenty of green
stuff from now until grass comes
celery tops, cabbages, cut clover or
ground alfalfa.
They must have some meat substi-
tute for the worms and bugs which
they will get on range later-beef
scraps, green cut bone or meat meal.
Keep plenty of pure water before
the fowls every day all the time. Scald
the drinking vessels two or three
times a week
It is downright cruelty to chickens
to confine them with turkeys, as many
of them will be killed by the larger
birds.
Piercing winds of March and April
are very hard on the fowls, and every
crack in the poultry house should be
made tight, leaving, of course, perfect
ventilation near the top.
Never allow the laying hens, or in
fact any poultry, to stand around on
damp. cold floors. Straw, chaff or
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they haze had good
success by feeding corn exclusively.
but it is fact that hens cannot thrive
on this feed many months at time
Always remember that skim milk is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.

ATTENTION AT FOALlNG TIME
Nothing Better Than Alfalfa or Glover
Hay and Bran for Rich Bone
Forming Material.

1t is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with
in two weeks of foaling time After
that make the work lighter but keep
up the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise,
and it should be rich in bone-forming
matter. There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. At
this time corn should form at least
one-third of the ration, never more,
and oats one-third.
At foaling time cleanliness and
quietness are two most important re-
quisites. If previous to pasture time,
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided. This, however, should be
thoroughly disinfected. as should be
the bedding which is placed in it.
1t is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling it is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol-
low the mare while she IS at work, as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good.

His Bio Thouuh+

DR.. NJ. S. Rice of Detroit tells this
story on himself He is a great ad-
mirer of Bishop Quayle, and in his
earlier ministry was much impressed
by the statement of that eloquent di-
vine that some of his greatest
thoughts had come to him when he
was in Gods out-of-doors" during ter
rife storms.
Il made up my mind" said Doctor
Rice, that I would go out in the very
next big storm and see if 1 couldn't
have a great thought, too. 1t came in
the middle of the night, but that never
daunted me, and two o'clock in the
morning found me sitting out on a
rock, drenChed to the skin, and with
thunder and lightning going on all
about me, but no great thoughts with
in. Years afterward l told Bishop
Quayle about it.
The only thought l had, said,
was what a big fool I was"
Well drawled he, wasn't that
worth while?,"

The present season has been most

No special breed Of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising Of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm

TROUBLE WITH CANTALOUPES
Leaf-Bight Is Most Common Annoy
ance-May Be Checked by Spray
ing With Bordeaux.

When blight attacks the cantaIoupe:
then the hopes Of the grower wilt as
well as the leaves of his plants-it
is usually a hard case to cure.
Leaf-blight is the most common of
cantaloupe troubles. The leaves be-
come covered with light to dark brown,
generally circular spots, which in
crease in size and finally coalesce, re
sulting in complete whiting and curling
of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings,
such as are found in the common al
ternate blight of the potato The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight is caused by a fungus, which
may at least be checked by spraying
with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from twelve to
eighteen inchesSlong, and then every
two weeks during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be of
the usual strength-six pounds of
bluestone and six pounds of lime to
fifty gallons of water.
The greatest care must be taken to
get down on the under side of the
leaves with the spray.
