Hove Brothers, owners of the Apple
ton ranch on the head Of the Chum-
stick, have under consideration the
disposition OF their thorobred herd of
Holstein cattle. They say they do not
find it profitable to feed their hay crop
to the dairy herd and depend on the
sale OF butter fat for profit. At the
present high price OF hav they think
there is more money in selling their
hay. They have one Of the best herds
Of thorobred Holstein cattle in the
state, some forty head. and will ship
the cattle to the Sound and dispose of
them, and hereafter bale and sell their
hay crop. They have fine hay ranch
and every year cut over five hundred
tons of timothy hay.

will spend a week or more among the
Yakima apple growers in an effort to
impress them with the Sutton apple
box press. He ought to find no trouble
in making a favorable impression and
taking some orders for the press. Its
merits will impress themselves on any
practical fruit grower who has had ex-
perience with the different makes OF
press. The price, the simplicity and
some other merits can be readily taken
in by any one who has had to nail a

Determining COST
OF ANY ENTERPRISE
Government Figures Show That
IS Per Cent Is for Feed
Keep Clear Record.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost of keeping a horse or a
cow is determined by the amount of
feed consumed. plus the amount of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails
ing, from birth, two-year-old heifer
which show that $3.50 per cent of the
total cost was expended for feed,
1928 per cent for labor, SO per cent for
interest, and 1915 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment,
bedding, ETC., or with a total expense
of $62.06. These items which might
be called "other charges" amounted
to $9.72.
This emphasizes the need of caution
in determining the cost of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges are omitted
in reporting profits. About the sur
est way to avoid the possible error
is to keep complet set of accounts.
OF course, there Is some work attached
to It but by adopting simple direct
entry method of bookkeeping 1t isn't
such bad job.

TERM "GRINGo" LONG IN USE
contemptuous Epithet Applied to For.
eigners Alleged to Have Had
Its Origin In Spain.

VIII you permit me to contribute a
few words on the subject of the origin
of the word gringo? Gringo is an old
Spanish word that antedates the Mexi-
can war by seventy years. 1t was de-
fined by the first edition of the Stan
dard Dictionary, in 1891: "One of Eng
fish blood or speech; contemptuous
epithet." By the New Standard, 1913
the term was treated as follows: ''In
Spanish America, foreigner, partic-
ularly an American or one of English
blood or speech; contemptuOus
epithet Spanish gibberish)."
/ have been able to trace the word
back to 1887, 100 years, and find 1t
explained In p. Easteban de Terroros Y
Pardo's "Dictionario Castellano," pub
lished in Madrid in that year. See
Vol. ii, page 240, column / "Gringos
-Llaman en- Malaga los estranjeros.
que tienen cierta especie de acento,
que los priva de una locucion facil v
natural Castellana; y en- Madrid dan
ell mismo y por la misma causa con
particularidad los Irlandeses."
Roughly translated, this means:
"Gringos-The name given in Malaga
to those foreigners who have a GER
tain accent which prevents them from
speaking Spanish fluently and natur-
ally, and In Madrid the same term is
used for the same reason. especially
with reference to the Irish" The word
may be found also In Melchior En-
manuel Nunez de Taboada's "Diction
naire Espagnol-Francais," published in
Paris In 1915; "Gringos, ga-Adj,
Figure ct famillier.) Gree, hebreu. On

open, making the fruit subject to the
innumerable rot spores that abound
everywhere. When once under the skin
of the fruit, blotch cannot be cured or
even remedied, therefore it is very ad-
visable to catch the disease in ample
time.
Repeated experiments have shown
conclusively that lime-sulphur solution
will not control blotch, and further
that bordeaux mixture completely con-
trolls the disease. AS arsenate of lead
can also be used with the bordeaux
mixture we have the complete mixture
for the combat of blotch and numer-
Gus other fungous diseases, as well as
the poison to control insects.
Blotch is not so prevalent In more
northern orchards, and is much worse
in southern Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
than farther north in the same states.
Careful pruning will remove many
of the cankers which can be burned,
Kidding the orchard Of so much Of the

SKIM MILK IS MOST
IMPORTANT PRODUCT
No Better System Regulator on
Market-Protein Necessary
in Every Ration.

Skim milk Is one of the most i'm
portant products of the farm II fed In
proper quantities. There is no better
system regulator on the market not
excepting wheat or bran. Constipation
vanishes when 1t is fed In sufficient
quantity and all bowel complaints are
bettered. 1t has about the same effect
on pigs and chickens as oats has on
horses.
Practically all the protein of the
flesh building part of the whole milk
is left in the skim milk. This protein
is necessary In every ration especially
in the feeding of young stock. Con-
sidered from the standpoint of fertiliz-
ing and feeding, protein is the most
expensive portion of the milk. When
you purchase milk and other expensive
feeds the price paid depends upon the
amount Of protein they contain. If
pigs have been fed on corn for long
time until they have lost their appe-
title for 1t, skim milk, even If fed In
only small quantities, will help very
much In remedying this condition.

Along with other more or less
known diseases of the apple is the
blotch, which winters over in the
form of canker which fastens itself
onto the twig or watershoot, preferabi3
the latter, and ripens its spores the
following season, spreading to both
fruit and twig growth. Its spread is
due chiefly to water. The spores are
spread by rains and heavy dew, as
the worst infected fruits will be found
directly underneath the cankered
limbs or twigs, topmost fruit in many
cases being entirely free from the in
lection. Rainy seasons are the worst
for blotch and there is practically no
blotch-infected fruit in extremely dry
seasons.
Appears as Speck.
The blotch on the fruit first appears
as a minute brown speck on the skin,
enlarging rapidly as the season adj
vances; it often covers one-fourth of
the fruits surface by gathering time.
In many cases these brown spots crack

WILD PARSNIP IS A
MOST DEADLY WEED
Plant Is Quite Dangerous to Live
Stock-ChiIdren Poisoned
by Eating Roots.
By GEORGE H. GLOVER. Colorado Ag-

By GEORGE H. GLOVER. Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Wild parsnip Is not the common
garden parsnip that has escaped from
cultivation and grown wild. The lat
ter has a more yellowish flower and
u tap root. What is commonly called
wild parsnip" is the Wyoming water
hemlock (Cicuta occidentalis) which
greatly resembles the garden parsnip
but has a whittier flower, the leaflets
finely toothed along the margin, and
a cluster of roots.
The American water hemlock Is one
of the most poisonous plants native
to the United States and the poison
is found largely In the roots, espec-
tally of the matured plants. This plant
is very deadly to live stock, especially
cattle.
Every year we have reports Of
children being poisoned by eating the
roots of wild parsnip and parents will
do well to caution their children
against touching any wild plant that
has an unbrella-shaped top, that
looks like the garden parsnip.
