Nearly all of whom inquiry was made had good reports to make regarding the outlook for crops. The general opinion among fruitmen Is that there -Rill be a good half crop of Italian prunes of first-class qual lty. Of other varieties there will he a full crop. Cherries and strawberries are both promising well. George "W. Weeks, the Howell Prairie dairyman, says that an unusual amount of corn has been planted this season by farmers of his neighborhood, and that the weather has been very favorable fur an excellent crop. The rains continued -for a. fair length of time, and the weather has since been codl hut bright A spell of hot weather would have been injurious to the corn. Mr. "Weeks sas that most of the farmers will use their corn for en silage or Summer soiling. A few farmers say that In the last few days they have heard complaints of green aphis on growing wheat. It has been re ported that Fall wheat Is turning yellow without any apparent cause. None of the farmers Interviewed today have examined their wheat closely, but some have been reliably Informed that the stalks of wheat are thickly covered with the small, green aphis that has damaged the wheat In pre vious seasons. All reports concerning the hop crop are very encouraging. "While the acreage has been reduced considerably, both by plow ing up and by missing hlllrt In some lo calities, the present indication Is that the hop vines will make a thrifty growth and mature a crop of unusually good quality.

The United States Ambassador, Andrew D. White, referring' to the news cabled here connecting nis name with the American Vice-Presidency, informed the representative of the Asso ciated Press that it Is one of those things, that cannot be, adding that he attached no Importance to the matter, which was "mere campaign talk." Obstructionism Is something new In Ger man parliamentary life, hence the great excitement, coupled with amazement, of both the press and the Reichstag major ity itself on the subject of obstruction as practiced now In tho Reichstag to defeat, if possible, or, Jn any case, retard the passage of the Lex Helnze. Both the majority and minority are determined to see the matter out If It takes all Summer. The temper In ttye house yesterday and today was rather hot. For the purposo of exerting moral pressure upon the Reichstag, the so-called Goetherbund (that Is to say, the federation of opponents of the bill throughout Germany) will hold an Immense Indignation meeting here ear ly next week. The argument Is made now that If the Reichstag passes the bill, the measure will. In any case, be unconstitu tional, because part of the deliberations within the Reichstag were conducted se cretly. The Prussian Diet Is about ready to pass the so-called department store bill, tho Conservative and Centrist majority having rendered the provisions of the original government measure more severe, increas ing the percentage of profits which the government will claim from the depart ment stores to .20 per cent. Dr. Barth, lead er of the Frelsslnlge party, made a stormy speech against the bllL The Wiesbaden festal week, which has become an institution of late years, with the Emperor present this time, took the shape of a British and American ovation to His Majesty. This was especially no ticeable at yesterday's flower parade, when a large number of stylish English ladles and some American ladles filed past the Emperor on horseback or In car riages. While the weather in Berlin has been bad, In Wiesbaden since the Emper or's arrival there It has been splendid. The Czar's birthday (May 18) was cele brated today, both here and at Wiesbaden. At the latter place there was a fine pa rade, a gala dinner and afterward a per formance of "Czar und Zimmerman" at the theater, as a delicate compliment. The Minister of Foreign Affaire, Count Von Bulow, and the Russian Ambassador, Count Von Osteck-Sacken, with the mem bers of the embassy, spent the day with tho Emperor, at His Majesty's special In vitation. This was meant to demonstrate that the relations between the Czar and Emperor William were of the best and most intimate description. In Berlin this forenoon divine services were conducted in the Russian chapel In honor of the Czar, and the Emperor Alexander Guard Regiment gave a banquet today for the same purpose, the Czar being honorary Colonel of this regiment. Emperor William In the meantime has changed his plans. He will not return to Berlin before May 27. He will stay at Wiesbaden for the present, and goes May 25 to visit his mother. Thus the German American veterans will not have a chance of being received In audience by His Maj esty. Friendly dispatches have been ex changed between the Emperor and the Prince Regent of Bavaria, on the occasion of the torpedo flotilla's brief stay at Lud wlg's Haven. The Hamburg-American line received the first wireless telegram yesterday from Borkhum Light announcing the arrival of the Kaiser Friederich. The employes of the most Important Berlin street-car line, numbering 7003 men, went out on strike today. The pub lic is in sympathy with the strikers. A curious occurrence Is recorded from Scwabasl Hall. Two gymnasium pupils, respectively named Eugene Tufel and Werner Kuntz, aged 16 and 17, fought a duel with pistols. Kuntz was shot In the chest. The court sentenced both of them to three months' Imprisonment In a fort ress. OREGON'S DAIRY LAWS. Features Criticised by a Batter and Cheese Malccr of Experience. The first thing to do to make dairying a success in Oregon Is to Investigate the methods followed In other states older In the business, and profit by their experi ence. Instead of practicing the defective methods discarded by them years, ago. The people of Oregon are not different from those of other states. Therefore, they first adopt many ways that are wrong in operating factories and In handling their butter and cheese. They will not be suc cessful till they make a change. The farmer Is not satisfied and the factorymen are not satisfied, and will not be till they adopt a dlflerent basis. The old adage is "In union there Is strength," therefore, to make dairying successful there must be a union of effort by far mers and factorymen. This can be brought about by a thorough understand ing of the right principles and methods, and then a co-operative effort of both Is sure to win. First, the factoryman must have a thorough knowledge of how to manufac ture a first class article. He must be a man of extraordinary ability to govern and teach. In order to gain the confidence of the farmer, and get him to adopt the best methods for the care of the cow, and the care of the milk. If the factory man has not got this knowledge he can not Impart it to his farmer patrons; then there Is a break at the start. Next is the system that must be adopted that has superseded all others In the older milk districts. The only way Is to show the producer of the milk that he has received the full market value of the product of his milk, less a reasonable compensa tion for manufacture and sale. The plan of the factoryman buying the milk has never proven successful for different reasons. First, there Is a ten dency to banter and beat down the price, and a chance for an error in judg ment by either the buyer or seHer. Next, is the endless complaint of a dishonest test. Again there Is no mutuality of In terest In regard to quality on the part of the producers who have no Interest In the success of the factory. They sim ply look upon It as a robbing Institution, and If they can get the start of It they are 3ure to do so. This Is all done away with In a co-operative factory. Though the factoryman may own the plant and recelye a given price for his labor and furnishing and the sale of the product, the-' factoryman and farmers are both interested In the success of the factory, when comparing dividends with the neighboring factory. Next Is the necessity of the law makers of Oregon understanding the dairy ques tion sufficiently so as not to make laws that work an injury to it. The term "reworked butter" in a law to prevent the manufacturing of or importing of process butter into the state. Is In many ways misunderstood, and In a measure works an Injury to the producer Instead of doing him the kindness It was Intend ed to do. First, there Is butter placed on the market that Is streaked and mot tled, caused by not being worked enough, and to rework It would Improve It and make It a better and more desirable ar ticle. Then again, when down In price In the flush of the season to a figure less than it costs to produce it, the producer should have the right to hold his but- 1900 Governor of Oregon Rides a 1900 Rambler After riding an 1 899 Rambler for one year with satisfaction he orders a 1900 model with up-to-date improvements. i tyi. i v. vfe-iv fnjL J :::-. h.-7 JT -y. 5$ " $ 7ZJ. : A - ter or cheese In cold storage till a scar city of the article raises the price, the same as he does his hay, grain or any other product of the farm. To do this successfully it should be stored away in bulk. In order to keep the quality good, then when the time arrives to place it on the market according to the custom of the trade here. It Is necessary to mold It into squares or prints. It might then be termed "reworked butter," and the maker would be liable to a fine. Those arguing that such butter should he classed or labeled in a form, to cast a reflection on' It as process butter Is wrong. It could have been molded Into prints In the beginning, and then it could not be termed "reworked," and as there Is no law prohibiting any one from plac ing poor butter on the market. It is read ily seen that 'the law encourages the production of poor butter. If the party that formulated section 1 of the pure food laws would make a trip down Front street and examine some of the butter handled by the large butter houses, ship ped to them from the creameries and marked "creamery butter," and could then see a good grade made right, packed Tight In tubs, sealed up and stored six months In a flrst class refrigerator, he would then conclude that the tub butter would scorn the Idea of being stamped "creamery butter," If it Tiad to be judged by the prints placed on the market called "creamery butter." There Is no law pro hibiting the manufacture of that stale, decomposed stuff, and Us sale to Inno cent purchasers for a healthy article of food, when a man skilled In fils profession and capable of making a, good article, stores It six months and takes It out a better article than his competitors but ter ever was, the law says It must be stamped "tub butter," as though the term would degrade the standard or lower Its selling quality. It this Is a wise and just law, I pity the Oregon producer In his efforts at progression. I am no friend to the process butter, and have been a liberal supporter In do nating funds and have exerted what In fluence I have had to do away with Imi tation and fraudulent dairy goods. I am Interested In Oregon's welfare, and want to see her forge ahead In the dairy line. I therefore hope that this matter can be placed before the people in a shape so that better laws will take the place of those now In force, and open a way for progression. The state should have a competent Instructor to visit the fac tories and Instruct the makers In the art of butter and cheese making, and per suade the dealers to change off from the print system to a solid packed butter In tubs. The flrst system Is to expensive, market all the time. The wholesale price cf butter at Portland for several weeks last Summer was below the Eastern! market prices from 2 to 3 cents a pound. It Is safe to say that had this surplus butter been made rlirht and nnrskpd In I tubs properly at the time it was made, J pnd either the customs of trade been to use packed butter, or the law changed so It could have been molded Into prints to suit the trade at the time it was placed on the open market in the Fall and "Win ter, It would have brought the farmer from 2 to 3 cents a pound more. There Is plenty of ready buyers for all the sur plus butter this country has, if thcee dif ficulties were removed. The trouble with the print buter Is that the factory holds It a few days and the commission house and the grocer a few days, and by the time It reaches the con sumer It Is strong and off flavor. "Were It packed In a tub It would not be ex posed, and would keep till consumed, and give everyone handling It better satis faction. There Is talk of overproduc tion in dairy goods. Such a thing might be junless we change and Improve and adopt more modern methods of handling our goods. The trade will send orders to the districts that put up their goods In the best shape. If Oregon will take warn ing and keep abreast of the times, there Is no danger of overproduction. Criticism is what sets people to thinking, and keeps them advancing. 1 -wish to f-VV8 t-O iv7 L RAMBLER r xjczjl q, Ar 0 A. e ,.- L . . & tisC s-S WT V - j- a.- H- vt. 'JL ANY MAKE OF WHEELS TAKEN IN TRADE FOR RAMBLERS FRED T. MERRILL CYCLE COMPANY .OREGON WASHINGTON IDAHO MONTANA criticise a couple of sections In the pure food laws. It Is quite evident that those drafting and passing upon those laws did not give them much thought, or were not very familiar with the composition of milk and its products. In section 7 It speaks of milk containing more than S8 per cent water, and In section S of milk containing less than 3 per cent butter fat. Now those two sections do not agree with each other. The analyses show milk with 3 per cent butter fat contains 8 1-10 per cent solids, other than fat. Ad ding the 3 per cent fat makes 11 1-10 total solids. Such milk would contain 88 9-10 per cent of water; so according to the laws it would be impossible to produce milk that would compare with the, analy ses set forth as pure milk. Then 'again. In section. 9, it speaks of milk containing less than 8 per cent solids other than but ter fat, and less than 103S specific gravity after the cream has been removed. Now according to Dr. Babcock, "Viech Fred erlksen and others, the specific gravity of pure milk runs from 1033 to 1036 at 60 degrees temperature, which Is less than the requirements of your law. The spe cific gravity of whole milk is 1029 to 1032 at 60 degrees temperature. In section 10 it also states that cheese containing less than 40 per cent of but ter fat as compared with total solids Is unlawful. Now this Is another conun drum. Dr. S. IT. Babcock says milk Is an emulsion of butter fat In a watery so lution of albuminous matter (cream or cheese water and albumen), milk, sugar and mineral matter; water 874 pounds, butter fat (making about four pounds of butter) 3 pounds, case cheese matter Z& pounds, albumen t pound, milk, sugar and mineral matter 5 pounds, total 100 pounds. Now, with a loss of 3 per cent sugar of milk in this way, I would like to know how cheese can be made with the common method, to contain 40 per cent butter fat? It cannot be done, even with 4 per cent milk, and a majority of the beat paying herds of cows fall short of giving 4 per cent milk, especially dur ing the flush of the milk season. If I am not mistaken, the per cent of fat re quired in cheese In the leading cheese states Is 33 per cent It Is readily seen that the framer of those several sections In the pure food laws has placed his Angers above what Is possible to comply with; therefore the producer and manufacturer are constantly laying themselves liable to a fine, If the law was enforced. It may be said that Oregon has richer milk than other states. To this I will say that when the people get to feeding and producing the flow of milk per cow they do in the old dairy districts they will And the per cent of fat and solids decreased to the common standard.
