While he was in the legislature he
voted to restrict the initiative, refer
enduni and recall, and as governor,
facing the wrath of the people, per-
mits his defense committee to threat
en- any petition signer with a fine,
all the while insisting that he Is the
champion Of the peoples rights
against any entrenched clique or office
holding brigade.
As he vaingloriously acclaimed Of
his work for prosperity, he mystified
and amazed the truly big men in the
Interior Department Of the National
Capitol, by an attempt to wreck the
hopes Of the Kittitas country and
grievously disappointed the rest Of the
state, in furious effort to block a
100000 irrigation project just as
the national government had been
won over to make it financially pos
sible.
Puts Lobbyists In High Official
Places.
Governor Hartley seeks to delude
the people into the belief that he Is
the arch-enemy Of predatory public
service corporations, but gathers into
his official family their recognized
lobbyists and officers, so that no state
agency could possibly function against
the mand in behalf of the people, even
if there happened to be one pure soul
or traitorous wretch among the Hart
ley crew.
He seeks to link his own propaganda
with the aspirations Of the good won.

Insults Mothers by Talk of

Governor Hartley seorns and defies
the recommendation Of the Parent

real men by his reference to we'll

"altruistic twaddle." and at the same
time lifts from tn eshadows and bra

Peococks Color Blind

We may be misjudging the peacock
and rooster when we call them vain
birds. For DR.. Fl. Erhard of Munich
who has been experimenting with the
eyesight of birds, says that the SHIN
mering colors In plumage probably
mean nothing to the feathered crea-
lures. At least they do not appre
ciate colors as we do, If, indeed, they
even distinguish one color from an
other.
Birds that fly by day, Doctor Err
hard says, see everything in bright
red-orange light, being very slightly
sensitive to the short waves that make
up blue and violet. Night birds, on
the other hand, never see red, but do
see blues and violet. Tiny glObules
of oil in the retina of the eyes act as
color screens and determine the birds
color sense, according to Doctor Err

Devices to Aid Deaf

Some day ear specialists may fit pa
tients with Instruments suited to their
particular form Of deafness, just as
eye specialists now fit glasses to pa
tients with eye Troubles. A first step
toward this distant goal has been
taken in the attempt to standardize
the many hearing devices now on the
market. A survey of these devices is
being made by committee Of the
American Federation of organizations
for the Hard of Hearing with the CO.
operation of the United States bureau
of standards, which will test instrn-
ments submitted to it and will render
confidential report to the members
of the committee! DR.. Wendell Z.
Phillips, president-elect of the Ameri-
can Medical association, and rh"."
man of the federation committee on
research has said that there are more
than seventy-five varieties of hearing

The U. S. Farm crops were produc-
ed at a total aggregate saving Of
81, 1886, 228, 9O5, when hand methods of
century ago are compared with ma
chine methods employed on American
farms in 1896. That year the Bureau
of Labor made it's last estimates on
the time required to produce an acre
of corn, oats, barley, wheat, cotton,
rye, hay and white potatoes. This
figure is based on crop acreages Civ
en- out by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for these eight crops,
figuring cotton labor at So day and
the other crops at So day. In time,
says the Research Department of the
National Association Of Farm Equip
ment Manufacturers, 1,432,866, 1875
days were saved.
The New York State Agricultural
Society tells the story in a little diff
ferent way using only the wheat
crop. At the last state fair at SYRIA
cuse, the following statement appear
ed on a placard over an exhibit of old
hand tools that drew the attention of
thousands of visitors: "Do you know
that if we had only the tools used 100
years ago, it would take all of Ameri-
can former grew in 1926"
The actual saving in days and dol
lars in the production of these crops
last year was greatly in excess of the
figure above, according to the Re-
search department, because in 1896
when the Government estimates on
time were figured, there were no trac-
tors, combine harvesters, or hay load
ers, speaking in big way, while

AGRICULTURE

"Hot Pack" canning is the method
now recommended by the U. S
Department of Agricultural in its lat
est bulletin on home canning. The
advantages of both the old-fashione6
open-kettle method and the cold-pack
method are combined in the hot pack
In the so-called open-kettle method
the materials to be canned is cooked
directly in an open vessel as means
of killing the bacteria, and then filled
into sterilized jars and sealed imme-
diately. This method is suitable only
for fruits and tomatoes, and has GER
tain disadvantages, even with them.
One is the necessity for sterilizing the
jars before they are filled; another is
the danger of contamination during
filling, or the incorporation of air con-
tanning heterogeneous likely to
cause spoilage.
The term "cold pack" has been ap-
piled to the method in which the ma
terial is packed could into the con-
tainers and then processed. The chief
disadvantage of this method is that
when the material is packed cold a
longer time is required for that at the
center of the Gamer. This is especi-
ally true in the case of vegetables
that are thick and pasty, such as corn,
for they heat through very slowly.
Some fruits, however, with large
proportion of added liquid, may heat
through quickly and be successfully
canned by this method, but the shrink
age is sometimes considerable.
In the hot-pack" method short
pre-cooking Of the material is used to
wilt and shrink it SO as to facilitate
packing. Any inclosed air is driven
out. The material is then filled into
the containers boiling hot and pro-
cessed Immediately, either by the
water bath, if fruits or tomatoes, or
in steam-pressure Gamer, in the
case of nonacid vegetables. Containers
so packed may be sealed without the
usual exhaust, and the time required
for the material to reach the temper
ature of the Gamers is decreased for
containers of all sizes. &

A cow giving an average OF 90
pounds of milk day would have to
consume IT'S pounds of good pasture
every day to maintain her yield and
keep in good condition, according to
the Larrowe Institute of Animal Eco
romics. Since few cows can eat more
than 80 pounds of grass in one day
even from the most luxuriant growth,
big portion of the IS pounds of milk
she gives comes right off her back
unless the pasture is supplanted with
a grain ration.
GAIL grass, regardless Of condition
or location is well over one-half wat
err" states the Institute. "In ordinary
field grasses this percentage runs from
So to II Sweet clover is rs per cent
water Alfalfa ranges from 10 to 80
per cent water. From any pasture a
cow gets not more than to per cent
protein and a fraction of 1 per cent
Of fat; and Of all the grasses she eats,
only Is to 80 per cent is made up of
the very necessary carbohydrates. Be-
cause grass does not contain enough
of the feeding elements a cow needs
in proportion to it's bulk, the cow can
not keep on producing to the limit Of
her capacity on pasture alone. Sup
plementing the grass with grain ra-
ton, however, keeps her from using
up her bodily reserve. It gives her
the balanced ration she needs to keep
on producing milk in profit making
quantities. It keeps her in condition
and brings her into the fall in shape
to produce the most milk during the
winter months when milk prices are
highest"
