I Homestead Rulings. At Walla Walk several cases ot con test homesteads have come np for re view at that land otBce ; and from a news dispatch from that town regarding the matter, we pleam the following: A derision of interest to hundreds of city homesteads who are trying to reside In the towns of Oregon and Washington where they have some business, and at the same time prove up on homesteads in the new districts, was received at the Wall Walla district land office yester day from the department of the interior. The general application of the text would mean a repetition of the story now oft being told that to successfully hold a claim, a man must make continu ous residence. It aiso practically means that a newcomer can successfully con test any of the thousands of homesteads being held by men not actually residing on them, but who are making a show of compliance with the letter of the law. The specific case before the depart ment was tltat of Samuel Covert, of Ritzville, Wash., whose homestead in 3J-14-31, Franklin county, was contest ed by D. Mordhorst, of Ccnnell. Mord horst testified at the first contest bear ing before a Franklin county I. S- Land commissioner tlut his interpretation of the homestead Uw was tliat all a man had to do was visit bis claim once in six months. However, ho lad made visits somewhat more frequenUy, had thrown up a 10x14 shack of rude boards without stovepipe or chimney and had made some show, of cultivation. Ho lost before the land office here, and ap pealed to the department has lost again. Tho departojent is specific in showing that a mau cannot hold a claim under the present regulations and their style of enforcement without proving an actual, continuous residence. Tho feature of the land office business at present ia the great number "of con tests being filed daily, and the city man's chance of proving up arc slimmer and slimmer cverv dav. Build Up Your Own Dairy. The farmer who keeps cows to produce milk or butter needs a dairy cow. If beef is tho object in view he wants an entirely different cow. It is impossible for him to produce both successfully and with profit from the same animal. Often I have this question asked me by our patrons : "Where can I get cows giving a large quantity of rich milk?" There are two ways of getting such animals one by purchasing, the other by growing them yonrself. A man start ing out to buy high-class dairy cattlo will soon learn that the man who under stands his business is not selling his best cows until their days of usefulness are past. Whenu man offers to sell a cow that promises to be a good milker for any reasonable price, tho buyer is apt to dis cover after ho purchases her that he be lies her looks, and that alio has some secret fault which will show itself later on. Dairymen who are excellent judges of cowb will eometimes get hold of first- class animals, but as a rule they will buy them from men not acquainted with their business, and with whom the pos session of a cow of this kind is accident. Evan then, only a few of thoso cows will conic up to his requirements, or give anything like tbo satisfaction of those ho might raise himself, and I think that when ho counts tho time and nionry that ho spends in this way, he will como to the conclusion that tho best way for tho dairy farmer to improve the quality of tho herd is by raising his own stock. It docs not take so many years to grow up a herd in this way as ono might sup pose in raising n noru lumseil tnore aro several advantages to bo derived, tho principal ono of which is that ho is able to control tho breeding. Milking quali ties nro heriditury, and tho heifer whose giro's dam and grandam nro good milk ors will bo a good milker also. In raising calves for tho dairv alwavs feed for irilk instead of beef, and tho nouer uuenucu lor tno itatry should not havo tho sumo treatment in feeding ns tho heitor intended for calf production oniy. me aairy cow is better ns a lean animal than as a fat ono. and she should ho kept during her youth in such a way mat alio win not lay tno product ot nor food on her ribs, but put it in the pail.
