Neely has re ceived a letter from Congressman W. L. Jones, stating that the president has offered to officiate at the opening of the big exposition on December 7, and arrangements have been made with the Western Union Telegraph Company to furnish a direct wire from the White House to the national apple show building. President Roosevelt baa shown marked interest in the apple show and has len( his support In other ways, notably in requesting bis department of agriculture to render every possible aid. Owing to the fact that he will be busy preparing for the opening of the next congress which takes place in Decern btr It will be impossible for the president to attend. Preaideut Roosevelt's commission on couutry life which will hold sever al sittings throughout the oonntry for the purpose of studying conditions as they exist on the farm, has selected Spokane as one of its meeting places, and will be bere during the week of the national apple show. The Wash ington State Horticultural Society will also meet In Spokane during that week. Two other features of interest to apple growers as well as the publio in general will be demonstrations given by; the students of the Washington State College at Pullman and by the Oregon Agricultural College at Cor vallls The department of dnmestlo economy of the Washmgton State Col lege, onder the direction of Miss L. Oertrnde MacKay, acting head of the department will serve apples in every form, giving actual demonstrations of how to prepare and serve them and also giving the publio Instruc tions what varieties of apple are best for different purposes. The Oregon Agricultural College will send a crew of expert apple packers to give demonstrations of the different parka, grading, etc They will be in charge of Professor C. L Lewis, of the college, as authority on this work. Professor John Craig, recognised as the leading pomologlst of this oonntry, has been secured as a jndge and probably will give a leo tare also daring the week. The at tractions and amusements features which will be given in connection with the national apple show have practically been completed. Bhnd concerts svery day and night during the week will be given ' by the "Nat ional Apple Show Band" of 40 pieces, organized for the occasion and in cluding the leading moslcians of the northwest. The educational features of the show will also be given in the armory building, and will include lectures and demoutratloos touching every branch of the apple industry.

There ia a growing need of a forage orop which will utilise the soil and furnish green food and pasture during the dry summer months. In many sections where the dryseaaon ia much longer, and possibly inooh dryer than In this part of the Kogne River Val ley, alfalfa has been found to be satisfactory. Dairying in this section Is found most piotaflble, except daring the two or three months when feed is scarce, aud then those of onr farmers who are fortnnate enongh to have land under Irrigation find it pays well. Many farmers raise the Thooiund- Headed Kale, which as a cow feed la excellent and aeema to cut as much milt in the bucket as any other kind of feed known. It remains green the year roand and can be pulled as desired for feeding. If alfalfa oould be raised extensively and there are many who have tried It that claim It can be, it would cer tainly change the faoe of nature and add Ininieusely to the wealth of this section. It would increase the dairy products and the poultry products, cheapen the production of beef, pork and mutton. The principal difilculty In raising alfalfa ia getting good stand, and in a dry climate this is difficult to do the first year, yet with the moisture of average rears there ia no trouble on this score. Alfalfa has been grown for 2000 years in the Mediterranean region. A gentleman traveling over what was then regarded as land unfit for settle ment in Western Nebrsska by reason of its aridity, discovered a thrifty green alfalfa plant growing where no other green thing oould be found for miles around. That was a demon stration that satisfied the geuth-man and he purchased a large tract of land for a trifle. Oo the same land he has since fed 60,000 sheep lo one season on alfalfa. Alfalfa goes down Into the depths of the soil for moisture and throngh wireless communication with the atmosphere bringa dowo from above food which feeds the'plant and enriches the soil, r Since 1MH the acreage of alfalfa in Kansas has Increated from to m'.WXTia 10. Arecent bulletin frcinthat state says ofalfaIfa"The steer ii-ooers ol Kansas, Uolorado sua Kebrsksa would be lost without it. " At the Kansas station it ia stated : "A gain Ci 800 ponndaof pork was made from a ton of alfalfa, and a little lees than that amount of gain was tus cle from an acre of alfalfa pas ture." Again, "we found that IW bntin ao doing has discharged its own entire expense and in addition has added millions of dollars to the wealth of the state." At the Ontario Agricultural Col lege in 10 years 80 cuttings, yielding over five tons an acre, were made. An experiment showed Its great soil euriohlng qualities. Wheat grown after alaflfa yielded 61.5 bushels per acre and atter timothy sod 43.1 bushels. In the two auooeedlng years the alfalfa sod produced 80.9 bushels of barley and 34 bushels oorn, while the timothy sod produoed 19.7 bushels barley and 17.9 bushels oorn. Tha there crops on the alfalfa sod . wars worth about $90, while those on the timothy sod were worth about 168. At the Oregon Agricultural College alfalfa has been growing successfully for tbrte years, sod tests are being made by the agronomists with different varieties to determine which will suit the conditions heat in this state. The station men are glad at all times to answer questions In' regard . to its cultivation. A few miles from Corvallls, W, TJ. Hainliu;cnt ;thia year 200 tons of al falfa hay. It .'yielded about Si tons to the acre in two cuttings Before) seeding to alfalfa tha land had been "cropped out." In 14 years 14 grain ciopa had been taken from the land, and Mr. Hamilton explains that on riober land the yield la much heavier. He further expalina that the oldest atand yields the best, showing that It takea several years oo certain classes of soil for the alfalfa to niaks a good growth. A Com moo Cold. We claim that if catching cold oould be avoided some of ths most dangerous and fatal diseases would never lie heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of infectious diwaxes. Consumption, pneu iimnis, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the must dangerous and fatal diseases, are ol this class. The culm bed forinsd by tha cold fuvors the development of ths germs ol these diseases, that would not otherwise Hnd lodk..int. There is little danger, however, of any of lhe disease being contrscled when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain a Cough Remedy is ued. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these di eSjMM. That is why this remedy lias proved so universally successful in preventing luirn monia. It not onlyures your cold qiilcklt , hut minimises ths risk of contracting the dangerous diseases. For sals by M. CTemenr TREES!
