Washington, I. C Not in the past 40 year have temperature In the I'nited State during the late Bpring ami early summer been ao uniformly rWh for mi lomr a period and over uch a lari'e portion of the country a this year, according to Weather Hu rem! olliciiils. The high temperature were most pronounced over the more central ami northern portion of the country, while the Southern Btate re comparatively exempt fron. un-u-usl heat. The intense heat over the more sp ulnu section causinl Bevere suffering in the congeatetl portion of the citie and resulted in the lose of probably thousand of live. Lack of rainfall over the great agri cultural district during moat of the long heated riod greatly retarded vegetable growth and threatened a eriou curtailment of crop produc tion. Opportune rain, however, with cooler weather, greatly improved condition, and the outlook at the present time i favorable for the fathering of the usual harveta of most great staple. The period of greatest dUeomfort was from June 22 to July 10. Higher temperature occurred at other periods over much of the territory, but the resulting discomfort and loss of hu n.an life were doubtless augmented in the period just passed by the fact that the most intense heat occurred to ward the close of a long heated period, when animal vitality hud been largely depleted and therefore was not in condition to withstand further the lelnlitating effect of still greater heat. T he nearest approach to the re cent hot wave was in l'JOl. Receive Food Through Drill Hole and I Not Worrying. Joplin, Mo.

Standing upon chairs, waving handkerchief and yelling, Democratic representa tive today acclaimed Representative Underwood, of Alabama, Democratic leader of the house, when he attacked William J. Hryan for criticising his opinion on the tariff revision program. It caused the most remarkable scene in the house since the beginning of the extra session of congress. Underwood denounced Mr. Hryan' statement a false, defended hi own attitude a to revision of the iron and steel schedule, anil said Hryan had placed Uin every Democratic member implication unfounded in fact. He called on his Democratic colleague of the Way anil Mean committee for corroboration. Mr. Underwood was backed up by I'epreaentative Kitchin, of North Car olina, long a devoted frienj of Hryan It ull came about from a published interview which purported to be "au thorized" by Mr. Hryan, declaring it was time Democratic Leader Under wood was "unmasked." "Speaker Clark and other tariff re formers tried to secure the passage of a resolution instructing the way and mean commiteee to take up other schedule, including the iron and steel schedule, but Underwood and Fitz gerald the Fitzgerald who saved Can non in the last congress succeeded in defeating the resolution," said the in terview. The house listened intensely to the reading of the interview. Republicans applauded it. A the clerk finished reading, Mr. Underwood began to seak. Washington, Aug. 6. Attorney Hanecy, counsel for Senator Lorimer, today took up the cross-examination of Charles A. White, confessed bribe taker in the lorimer election, who testified yesterday. Taking the position that vs mte miifht not have had enough literary ability to write the confession which he claim to have written, the attor ney led him through mazes of religion, history and literature, eliciting the assertion that in Roman history it is told how the "Deities levied on their subjects to build the pyramids," and other statement of equal interest W Dectator. Hanecy then secured admissions from White that letters written to Senator Iorimer and other were "nure and simple lie." White add ed that he wrote them to get material for his intended exposure.

The bill cut the average tariff on cotton manufactured goods from 48 to 27 per cent ad valorem, a il per cent reduction. The Democratic leaders estimate that it reduce revenue by about $3,000,000. Not an amendment was offered to the bill, although the Republicans at tacked it vigorously on account of the alleged increase in certain items over the rates of the Payne-Aldrich tariff 1 B W. Scarcely had the cheers that greeted the passage of the cotton revision bill subsided when Democratic Leader Un derwood, calling up the free list bill a it passed Jthe senate a few days ago, accomplished a strategic move whieh surprised the Republicans.

Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, is packing his trunk, preparing to leave for home in a day or two. He is thoroughly disgusted that congress has been un willing to give credence 10 nis wuu charges regarding affairs in Alaska, and will not stay to submit his "proof."

Washington, Aug. 6. The tariff board is much put out at a recent statement from Ogden, Utah, attrib uted to W. C. Parnes, one of the board's special invetigators, that aheep could be raised in the United States for $1.50 a head. After an in vestigation the board announced that Rarnes denies making such a declara tion and that the statement, whether made by Rarnea or not, it Inaccurate and unauthoriied. result from neglect, etc. A year ago I visited a large young orchard in the Willamette valley, and the grower had not noticed that . one block of pears was practically eaten up by slugs. Probably in a few days he would have noticed them and sent some twigs down to the Experiment station, ask ing for the cause of game. I might state in this connection that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It is not uncommon to have sprouts develop at the base ol a tree which will erow so vigorously that they will take all the sap from the tree. Many people have held that these sprout did not interfere with the growth of the tree, and they have been allowed to grow, but I would say emphatically that they should be removed. All buds and branches growing at the ex pense of the ones desired should he removed. Under average conditions, do not summer prune young irees, uui wnen the trees are from three to four years of age summer pruning can be done to advantage. This is also or advantage for trees having a tendency not to come into bearing, or for those having a tendency to bear fruit on the ter minal growth at the expense of the lateral buds and Bpurs. One of the most important problems in the orchard at this time of the year is tillage. The spring rains are over and no more moisture will probably be given the trees until fall. Where more growth is desired it is necessary to practice extensive cultivation, this of course will mean the working and stirring of the soil. One of the best tools to use for this purpose is the Kimball weeder, or Acme harrow. The number of times and dates of cultivation should be controlled by natural conditions, kind of soil and amount of humus contained. Cultiva tion should be frequent .enough, how ever, to prevent the baking and dry ing of the soil, also frequent enough to keeD down the weeds. With the young trees, cultivation should be con tinued up to the middle of August, when it should cease, in order that the young trees can go into dormancy for winter. Winter injury has been due oartlv to late cultivation in the fall. i j . ., ,, . . Trees which are heavily laoen wun fruit should be cultivated to produce size and quality, which is much more desired than a large amount of small, inferior fruit due to lack of, or poor, cultivation. Many cherry orchards are neglected as soon a the crop is picked. This 's a great mistake, as the trees would keep in better, health if given cultivation until the first of August. W ith fall traits, sucn as ap ples, etc., an extra thinning given about the first of August would often be beneficial to the tree, by thinning out and removing the cull fruit. With a young orchard I would en courage the grower to make frequent trips from tree to tree, watching lor diseases and insect pests that may arise. By doing this you will be able to detect any trouble which may arise, and will be able to obtain assistance from the Experiment station before the trouble has become too serious. One also nick ud many points con cerning the handling of young trees by these frequent excursions. Many oi the trees will need staking. This is especially truejof the trees which have a small trunk and heavy top. This will often occur with walnuts, young prune, very vigorous growing apple and cherries. In tying and staking trees one needs to be careful in not injuring them in any way. Where wire or heavy coids are to be used, the branches should be wrapped with leather, and a piece of wooden block should be placed between the wire and branch. One pitfall the grower often meets is this: He is let! to believe that the trees are young and no spraying i necessary, and that only heavily load ed trees need spraying. This, how ever, is a great mistake, as many in sect pests and diseases can be checked by spraying the trees while they are still young. It is only by constant! vigilance and hard work that one can brinir trees into heavy bearing with out showing many scars. It is cer tainly astonishing when one makes a survey of the various orchards to find the small percentage of trees that are sound. Careless cultivation, pruning, and lack of control of insect pests, diseases, etc., all have a ten dency to cause an early death of fruit trees, or at least impair the vitality.

Skim milk Bhould be used, for the cream will be largely lost if made from whole milk. The milk is kept at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees until well curdled. The curd is then broken up and the temperature raised to 90 to 95 degrees and allowed to stand until the whey separates. Thig will take about 15 minutes, when the whey can be removed and the curd drained in a muslin bag. When well drained salt at the rate of a little less than an ounce of salt to 10 pounds of cheese. For a very fine quality mix 1 ounce of cream to 1 pound of cheese. BUTTERMILK CURD. The University of Wisconsin has a method of making cheese similar to cottage cheese from butter milk. Buttermilk is heatd to 70 to 75 de grees and left quiet 11 to 2 hours. The temperature is then raised to 140 degrees. The curd then settles and the whey is removed. Place the cura in a bag and drain, working the out side curd inside occasionally. Salt at the rate of 2 ounces of salt to 10 pounds of cheese. CREAM CHEESE. Thin cream is thickened with ren net, the curd broken, and part of the whey allowed to escape. It is then worked to the consistency of paste and sprinkled with salt. This is a very mild and rich cheese. DEVONSHIRE CREAM. Milk is set in a cool place and the cream allowed to raise several hours. Without disturbing the cream the vessel is placed on the stove and the contents raised to the scalding point. They are then set aside until the up per layer hardens, when it is turned out on a mat or placed in a bag to drain. Usually eaten with fruit or berries. CLUB CHEESE. This cheese it extensively used by hotels and grills. It is of particular advantage in making cheese sand wiches. Its manufacture is simple, yet the best quality is often difficult to obtain. Five pound of well ripened cheddar cheese of the finest quality is ground in an ordinary meat grinder. When once through 1 pound of best quality butter is mixed in. The whole masa is then run through the grinder again. The mixture is then mixed and knead ed with the hands until free of lumps. Some add liquors or condiments such as brandy or sherry wine, or mustard or rarawav. It may be kept in ordi nary jelly glasses. First smearing the inside of the glass with butter and then pouring molten butter or paraffin over the top. GREAT BULL-DOGGING CONTEST Champion Steer-Thrower to Appear at Pendleton Round-Up. Visitors to the 1911 Round-Up thi fall are destined to witness one of the most thrilling and spectacular contests ever pulled off between man and man in this section of the world, if plans go not awry. This conest win De nothing other than a meeting between the two greatest "bull-doggers" of steers which western plains have pro duced, both of whom have held the title of champion, Dell Blancett and Buffalo Vernon. Plans to get these two steer wrest ler together before the Round-Up crowds this fall have been under way for several months and letter from Vernon practically assure the con test. Vernon signifies his willingness to meet Blancett and contracts have been forwarded to him to sign. Blan cett has already been signed, that it seems that nothing can stand in the way of the meeting. There is great rivalry between these two men and the contest this fall will not be the first time they have met for supremacy in their ex citing specialty. Last year during the Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold at Sacramento they met, at which time the title of champion was wrested from Vernon. The latter, therefore, is more than desirous of meeting his lanky opponent again and it is proba ble that they will make a little side bet by way of showing their faith in their own powers. Besides their ability in throwing a steer barehanded, both men are profi cient with the rope. Up-To-Date. Uncle Mose, a mountain negro, was being asked about hia religious affili ations.
