GROUND LIMESTONE
CORRECTS ACIDITY
Strong Evidence to Show That
Unburned Stone Is Effec-
tive and Economical.

New York agricultural experiment
station advocates the use of ground
limestone to correct soil acidity, and
giy es strong evidence to show that
this unburned stone, ground moder-
ately fine and applied in liberal guam
titles once in a rotation Of from three
to five years, is fully as effective as
other forms of lime, and in some con-
ditions decidedly more economical.
In many cases grinder can be

would never think that he has spent
the last 25 year in Sing Sing prison

Freak Dog az ST. Adams, Va, Makes

Climbing.

st Adams, Wv. l.. Plumley of
North Clarendon has a freak dog
whose speciality is climbing. The
highest climb he ever made was 30
feet. Veterinarians and others who
have examined the dogs feet are at
a loss to understand how he grips a
tree trunk in climbing.
His nails are like those Of the or
binary dog, though possibly a tritie
more pointed, and the tieshy pads of
his feet are perhaps a little broader
SO accustomed to height is the dog
that he sleeps in tree branches 20
feet above the ground. He is three
years old and part pug and part bull.

Four hundred tons of loganberries

according to estimates of Juice man
ufacturers of this section. From a

ufaeture Of loganberry Juice and 9TH
er loganberry products has expanded
greatly and the berry's fame Is now
spread from coast to coast and even
to foreign countries.
Salem is the center of the logan
berry juice manufacturing industry,
where several plants are located. Per-
haps the largest of these is that of
the Northwestern Fruit Products
company. owned by the Schmidt in
terests of Olympia, Wash. With the
spreading of Oregon's dry" area to

Although the manufacture of logan
juice SO far is declared to be along
experimental lines, those interested
believe that the processes used in
pressing and putting the juice in con-
dition for public consumption are sat

which manufacturers here say lies be-
fore them is to get the juice in the
favor of the public everywhere.
With the wide advertising which
has been given the loganberry Juice
through free distribution at the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition, and by other
means, the new drink is proving espe-
cially popular all over the Pacific
coast. The juice is now being intro
duced widely in the Eastern states,

more than half OF the cash awards
offered in that class.
The state as whole ranked third,
California and Oregon taking first
and second places. There were few
participants from Eastern or Middle
Western states on account of the
quarantine established by California
state authorities against stock from
states where the hoof and mouth dis
ease has been prevalent. The entries
from the Western states, however.
included some of the finest stock ever
displayed at any show.
The total awards won by Washing

addition to which the state commits
sion is expected to pay some pre-
miums.

The Northwestern Fruit Products
company has made several shipments
to soldiers in the Philippines. Sam
pies of the juice have also been sent
to points in England, Peru, to Homo
lulu, Hongkong and Melbourne. The
drink will be introduced to the resi-
dents Of Buenos Aires and others in

drinks are reported to be in demand.
The big brewery here, now devoted
to the manufacture of soft drinks,

gallons of loganberry juice in "a

The problem which is being solved by
the Northwestern Fruit Products
company is how to keep the plant
busy when loganberries are not in
season.
The loganberry run is about six
weeks in length, and after this the
plant faced the possibility of idle
ness unless some other industry
could be developed.
After investigation and weeks of
experiment by an expert chemist, the
company has evolved a process for
making apple juice Of what is said
to be decidedly superior quality.
Today tons of apples are being
brought to the former brewery by
farmers to be converted into juice.
BY the use of the surplus apples OF
this part of the valley, it is estimated
that the great waste which hitherto
has been an annual occurrence, will
be obviated.

TESTS $4,000 COWS
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
OWNERS OF CONDEMNED AMI.
MAILS RECEIVE AVERAGE
PAYMENT OF S28.

A record of 1909 cows tested for
tuberculosis during the last Is
months, an average in excess of 1000
per month, has been attained by the
state department of agriculture. Ia
coma city authorities during the
same period made 2,526 tests, checked
by the state authorities, SO that dur
ing this time the tuberculin test has
been applied to considerably more
than one-tenth of the $4,000 dairy
cows in the state.
The state and Tacoma tests COM
bined showed 1902 tubercular cows.
Pierce county was found to contain
the most disease, approximately II
per cent of the cows tested being re-
actors. In the rest of the state only
5 per cent of the cows tested were
reactors.
OF the tests listed 6,555 were made
under the new compensation law, eff
fective June 10.
AS an indication of how this law is
working out, Agricultural Commits
sioner H. T. Graves has tabulated sta
tistics dealing with the first 200 COWS
found diseased and slaughtered.
These cows were appraised at total
of $3.50, or an average Of 1856.
After being slaughtered the car
casses were sold for meat or tankage.
depending upon the progress of the
disease, and brought for the owners
$2,606.S7, an average of $12.48 per
carcass. The state made up the bal
ance of the appraised value, paying q
total of $2.3S2.13. or an average OF
$16.1S per condemned animal.
Commissioner Graves believes that
at the present rate the $4,000 APP
preparation for compensation pur-
poses will allow the testing Of 10000
animals.

Dear Sir:
have read Mr.. L. R. Campbell's
article in q recent issue Of the Stan
'dard and am pleased to know that We
have at least one progressive and
sensible farmer in the county. He
certainly advanced some very good
ideas that many farmers would do
well to initiate.
The only thing the farmers need
to bring success ID spirit of co.
operation and eternal vigilance"
There is nothing lacking to make this
one of the most successful dairy
counties in the state unless It Il too
much auto" No farmer can expect
success II he puts in one-fourth Of
his time joy-riding and the balance
OF the time knocking the country"
have passed the age for farming
but think l know something about
it and can say without fear Of sue
cessful contradiction that persistent.
intelligent effort will bring as good
results in Thurston county as any
other county in the state.
1t seems strange to me that quite
a number Of farmers tried to elimi-
nate our county agriculturist when
these farmers have shown themselves
practically incompetent, as their
want Of success demonstrates. and
simply ON account Of his salary. Why
don't they commence on some OF the
"higher-ups" II they desire more
economy? 1t seems to me we could
we'll spare four members of the SUI
preme court. II there Is another
state in the United States which has
nine supreme judges, am not aware
of it. We could also eliminate at
least two-thirds of our legislation
without detriment, and save a neat
little sum of about $4,000, but 1t
seems when the farmers desire lit
tie assistance they set up a cry for
retrenchment, and yet the farmer IL
the most important factor on earth.
