Kfirrertlv. I believe I can saf elv pre dict that the state of Washington will, in the near future, become a great dairy state. Even now the farmer who has a few good cows and " tends to busi ness,'' is never bankrupt. . He has in his possession a certain producer of value. With milk and butter he can go to market twice a we,ek, instead of once a year, and in many respects he is free from the annoyances that harass the wheat-growers. But there are some things he must attend to if he would mcceed. . Many people there are, indeed.who would not make 'even a bare living handling cows. To use a familiar ex pression, "They are not built that way." Nevertheless, it is certainly true that no matter how the farmer, is built, the cow is built to yield value quite material in kind. Lack of pasturage is an objection to dairying in many parts of eastern Washington, of course, but where al falfa or clover will grow this hind rance can be overcome. And these two valuable forage plants would grow in many 'places where they are not found at present, if the land was properly fitted to receive the seed. On' the experiment station farm we have two fields of clover that have given splendid returns. Both alfalfa and clover - are valuable for feeding COWS. '. ' ' Farsighted dairymen now recognize the fact that there is a better method of feeding dairy cattle than by pasturing, especially in regions where land is as valuable as it is in Washington. This is by the proper use of soiling crops, and silos. A very indifferent mathe matician can figure that one acre of land well tilled and seeded to some kind of a soiling crop will equal two ajid one-half acrs of the best kind of pas ture land for feeding dairy cows. Therefore, even if one has enough land to pasture a large herd of cows, it would be unwise to do so. Every suc cessful dairyman wishes his cow to do the best and yield the best return pos sible in consideration of 'the amount of feed consumed - and care given. The cow must have favorable surroundings. She 'must not be permitted to roam all day in search of food, even if requiring only that necessary for a living, aside from the 'production of milk. To give a large amount of milk at night would be contrary to nature. The ' quicker you can get the cow "filled up," the sooner she will lie down and masticate her food. , I ven ture to assert that when milking time comes, if you have the right kind of a cow, and are the right kind of a mas ter, she will not disappoint you. There are many different Kkinds of crops that can be grown for, soiling purposes. Winter rye, oats, barley and oats, mixed, peas and oats, clover, and vetch are some, of them. A few will suffice. Gare, however, must be. taken not to sow too much at one time, with the exception of corn. That can be planted in abundance, because as it ap proaches maturity it continues to make good feed. We have grown at the college farm two and one-half acres of peas and oats, which are sown on a north slope, the steepest, perhaps, on the farm, and from this plot have harvested five and one half tons of bay, in addition to having pastured on the same plot for five weeks a small herd of the experimental farm cattle. This is an example of what can be grown on a small tract carefully tilled. The farmer who undertakes to man age a herd of cows under this system must make ample provisions. One ne cessity, of eourse, is a good stable. This, without elaborate surrounding can be built at a moderate cost. It should be planned in a way which will enable the farmer to feed ten acres of good pasture to start off with in the spring. His intention should be to use this ten-acre tract for night pasture after; he has commenced to feed the cows in the stable. He will also need a mower and a horse rake in the field to lessen the labor . of cutting and handling. ,. , For the purpose of winter dairying, no up-to-clate man would be without a silo. In this part of the state corn is past the experimental stage. It always matures on the college farm. The cows are fed the year around, and do well. always having an abundance of silage.J j.uio pruceBB, in my opinion, largely solves the pasture problem. Naturally, questions arise relative to the expense connected with the feed ing of soiling crops. Over in Ontario, which is without doubt , a dairy coun try, soiling and the silo go hand in hand. Every farmer there will tell you that it would not be possible to keep np the flow cf milk, in his herd without resorting to these methods. If tbe silo and soiling crops are necessary In a country where, as a rule, ' they have plenty of rainfall, how much greater is the necessity for their use in parts of the Pacific Northwest where rainfall is not always sufficient! The time is at hand when a radical change of methods in farming is neces sary. Especially is thig true in the ease of the rancher who does not own Revises! Xafllas.

"Your work must be done right; and assuredly, the farmer who is willing to adapt himself to the require ments demanded by the country will be a successful dairyman. '", PRUNING TREES. Professor Thornber Tells How to Procure Best Results. From Washington State College, Pullman. In response to an inquiry from Sher lock, Professor W. A. Thornber gave the following discussion of pruning : "When trees produce too much wood, and not enough fruit, or no fruit at all, it is well to prune them very severely in the summer time, say about June; also cut them back at that time. This is to give the trees a check, and make them produce fruit buds, rather than wood. Here at the station, in the case of young trees, we do considerable early spring, or winter pruning, ;m order to make the trees produce large quantities of wood. We are thoroughly convinced that it is well for a young tree to produce large quantities of wood, even though you have to cut it out the following spring. This extra growth gives a splendid root development, and this is necessary before you can secure a good tree. In the case of trees that have been graft ed, I would recommend that you re move the suckers just as fast as the scions seem able to take care of the entire food supply. In cases where the tree is a very rank grower, I fre quently leave a few suckers around the graft, so that the graft may become hardened, and not make" such a soft growth. "Another good plan, at times feas ible, is to keep an orchard in grass, and check the growth somewhat in that way. The western soils and an excess of moisture are very conducive to a heavy gnowth of wood; therefore it is somewhat advisable to grow grass in the orchard, with the idea of check ing the growth in this way. Some of our most successful applegrowers west of the Cascades, make a practice of growirg grass in their orchards to pre vent the growth. The station does not advise you to make use of any kind of fertilizer whatever. A small amount of potash would serve the pur pose to make the trees more fruitful, but under no conditions do we advise the use of barnyard manure, or nitro gen, since this would only exhilarate the growth. In your locality, I think you could grow the Gravenstein, North' ern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Jona than, and probably the Golden Russets very successfully. The station now has specimens of these apples from your locality, and they certainly show up well." A farmer residing near Larane - in quired about the "common sorrel." Professor Beattie replied: "This is not an extremely serious weed, although sometimes it does dam age. If the sorrel has a tendency to choke out the crop, it is an indication that the land is rather deficient "In available plant food. You could im prove the condition of your region by growing some crop of alfalfa, clover, vetch or peas, and plow such crops un der, as this would put humus, in. the soil, and improve its condition. On the West side,, this weed is very abund ant in the worn-out soils, and the farm' ers find it desirable to 'limethe soil, to make more available plant food," From the Washington State college, Pullman. .

The skin Nreceives its necessary nourishment and strength from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition. External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial only for their ability to Teduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors that are causing the trouble, S. S. S. drives out the humors from the blood so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a healthy, cooling stream. S. S.
