is most deficient in the soil.
The live stock farmer understands the
value of a balanced ration in stock
feeding. Let us also bear in mind that
plants are living things and that bal
a need rations are of even p»reater im­
portance to them than to animals.
Timothy, hay and corn and cob meal
ha ve some place in animal feeding, but
they do not make the best possible
baLmced ration for young cattle or
milch cow s, nor could vou make a bal­
anced ration by adding to them excelsior
straw and sawdust meal. Likewise a
plant which is starving for phosphorus
is not benefited by plow ing under a crop
of green rve or even bv feeding it more
nitrogen or potassium, indeed, such
treatment would tend to still further
unbalance the soil and might even pro­
duce ail injurious effect upon the plant,
as appears to have been the case to a
slight extent in some experiments.

The practice of renting a farm year bv
vear does more to impoverish it than anv 1
other one thing With the one year rent­
ing system it becomes practically impos­
sible to continue a rotation ot crops and
generally the growing of legumes is neg­
lected. This sort ot treatment cannot
help but run down a farm and use up the
I ms - soil in the country Because of these
londitioms the careful owners will insist

rulic kind, will readlv agree to such a
plan
Three years is a short enough
period of rental, while five vears is a still

not be allowed, but the keeping and feed­
ing of stock encouraged.

Members of the gambling fraternity in
the stale of Washington are preparing
to wage a fierce campaigh for the repeal
by the next legislature of the law inak-
ing gambling a felony. Efforts will be,
made, it is said, to secure results in pri
manes and conventions, and legislative
candidates who will pledge themselves
in advance to vote for the appeal of the
law will not find themselves lacking the
sinues of war w herewith to wage their
campaign. While rearlv all the dealers
and gambling house employes have left
the state for vergin fields, where there is
no felony law, the boss gamblers, as a
rule, have remained in the state, and
haven’t abandoned hope that the bill
which put them out of business ma> be
w iped off the statute books.

It is announced that Horticultural
Commissioner Cooper has strong hopes
that the dav of the codlin moth in Cali­
fornia will soon come to an end. An
enemy for the codlin moth in Southern
Europe. The discoverer is George Com-
perd, of Los Angeles. In Southern Eu­
rope, it is stated, there is no need to
spray for protection against the codlin
moth. Its insect enemy keeps it down so
that at least 90 per cent of tlie apples are
not disturbed
Commissioner Cooper
has opened correspondence with the gov­
ernment of West Australia, which may
share the expense with California of
bringing the remedy from abroad. Quar­
antine Officer Craw has sent to Cuba a
colony of insects to destroy the parasite
that is preying upon the pine apple in­
dustry in Cuba. A similar service has
been performed for Tahiti to save the
trees of various kinds f orn destruction
by the cotton cushion scale.
* *
Never in the history of the shipping
business on the Pacific Coast has there
been such a general demoralization in
ocean freight rates as is now in evidence,
A British tramp steamer was offering to
load for the Oriental at $3.25 per ton, a
rate equivalent to about $2.90 on the
short-ton basis, which is used by the
regular Oriental steamship lines, A
French bark was chartered W’ednesdav
to load wheat at Tacoma for Europe at
15 shillings per ton. and at every port on
the Pacific Coast vessels are offering for
wheat, lumber, flour or any kind of car­
go at the lowest rates on record. What
these rates mean to the shipowners can,
in a measure, be understood, when it is
stated that a vessel w hich came out from
Europe to San Erancisco on a moderate
freight rate in the hopes of finding profit
able return business, lost $10,000 on the
round trip voyage with an outward
freight from this Coast'of 16s. 3d. Some
of the loss was, of course, due to a de­
lav in port awaiting a rise in freights
which never materialized, but most of it
was due to the fact that the actual work­
ing expenses of the ship, insurance, de­
preciation, etc., exceeded the freight
money by the amount named.
* * *
The extensive and apparently increas­
ing vogue of embezzlement growing out
of gambling is certain to arouse the at­
tention of the most effective reform
agencies, which are not in politics, but
in social and business fife. Large em­
ployers are likely to take some such ac­
tion toward gambling as they are gener­
ally taking toward the use of liquors. In
Chicago, for example, the big whole sale
grocery house of Franklin MacVeigh &
Co. has posted placards w arning employ­
es that visiting gambling-houses, either
through curiosity or to take part in the
games or betting, will be regarded as
sufficient cause for immediate dismissal.
The warning is prefaced bv the significant
statement that “respectable and moral
associations outside of business hours
are expected of every employe.” Con-
trary to the nutural impression that
might result from the posting of these
placards, the firm, it is stated, has not
suffered from speculation of employes
through their addiction to gambling. It
has been deemed wise, however, in view
of the usual prevalence of the gambling
fever and the startling tendency of
young men to succumb to it to warn em-
ploves of ♦ he certain consequences of the
gambling or lietting habit. There is no in-
teiterence here with “personal lilierty.”
The employe who dosen’t like the rule
can go elsewhere. No man that gambles
’s a safe person to handle other people’s
money, No man that puts himself hab­
itually under the influence of liquor is a
safe guide in matters requiring clear
head and sound judgment.—Oregonian.
