While these latter are valuable in their
wav, that on Forage pluntn i^ one ol the
prreatMt interest to farmers and land
owners of eastern Washington. I'uti.-nt
wientific and practical investigation is
the ba«ia ol the work. In the Palonae
country, as well mh on the semi arid
lands of the open ranges, where the
propagation ol forage and pasture
grasses haw become a matter of supreme
importance, no farmer can afford to he
without the instruction to be gleaned
from its pages.

ment Station, Pullman, Wash." Your

The following extracts show the char
acter of the general information con
tained in this bulletin:
» Eastern Washington.
The portion of the state lying pant of
the Cascade mountains is divided into
several divisions bearing very different
relations to agriculture. The difference
between these divisions iH due, first to
difference iii rainfall (see map on another
page); second, to difference in altitude
above sea level; and, third, to difference
in latitude; the average animal temper
ature of the southern part of the state,
and of the low valleys in all parts of
eastern Washington.being 50 54 deg. P.,
while that of the upland prairies and of
the northeastern part of the state in
45-49 deg. By referring to the rainfall
map it will be seen that the annual pre
cipitation varies from lens than 10 inches
over a large area in the central part, to
12."> inches in the extreme eastern portion
of the state, while there is a small por
tion of agricultural land in western
Klickitat county that has a rainfall of
about 20 inches. In addition to these
differences of rainfall and temperature,
there is a marked difference in the soil of
the uplandfprairies and that of the river
bottoms, the latter being sandy in char
acter, while tl ■ soil of the vast prariries
is of basaltic origin, and contains no
sand. It varies from a loose loam in
the dryer parts to a rather heavy clay
loam in the region of heavier rainfall.
The following more or less well marked
divisions of agricultural land* are found
in eastern Washington:
The Wheat Growing Region.
Tin* includes the Paloase Country, a
region of upland, rolling prairie, includ
ing most of Whitman county, and the
Bontheru purt of Spokane county, with
im altitude of about 2500 feet above sea
level, and a rainfall of 15 to 2G inches.
It extends southward across Snake river,
taking in those portions of Asotin, (Jar
field, Colombia and Walla Walla coun
tiies lying north and west of the Bine
mountains. The eastern portion of Lin
coln county and the western section of
Douglas county (the Big Bend country)
are also included, as well as a small area
iv western Klickitat county. The sec
tions here described consist exclusively
of prairie, rolling in most parts, and ie
devoted exclusively to wheat growing.
It may be asked, why grow anything
but grain in a section so eminently
adapted to it as the region jußt described?
The reason for growing one crop or an
other, aside from moral considerations,
is a matter of profit on investment and
labor. If the continuous raising of
wheat is better for the welfare of those
concerned than the growing of forage
crops, then wheat should be grown.
In a new, sparsely settled, fertile coun
try, like the section in question, wheat
is produced cheaply, and while prices are
good, and the hind still abundantly fer
tile, wheat growing is profitable. Again,
the city population within easy reach
was so small at first that the beef, pork.
eggs, butter, etc., that t he country could
produce would overstock the market and
thus produce ruinously low prices. A
few years ago, when wheat was very
cheap, the farmers rushed headlong into
bogs; in a short time prices dropped so
low that every one gave up hogs again.
The non-producing population was not
large enough to consume the supply.
Farmers went back to wheat. But as
time goes on. the average yield of wheat
will decrease to a point where wheat cul
ture will be profitable only in exceptional
years; the population of cities and vil
lages will increase; mines will be devel
oped; more railroads and steamboats
will be built; our export trade with
China, Japan, Hawaii and the Philip
pines will increase; until it will not be
possible to produce in a year or two
more beef, pork, eggs, butter, fruit, etc.,
than there will be a demand for. At the
present time people in many a village of
the state of Washington are eating but
ter, eggs, and bacon from lowa. Beef
cattle are not to be had. There has not
been a mutton in the local butcher shop
for two weeks.
We have reached a point where there
is immediate demand for animal pro
ducts far in excess of the supply, luder
such conditions, farmers cau make money
by raising beef, hogs, chickens and dairy
cows. It would not be wise for every
farmer to fully stock his ranch at once,
for fear of over production, but there is
far less danger of that no x than there
was four years ago. But it would be
wise to increase the supply of these things
to a point where it will equal the de
mand at remunerative prices.
Since the time has come for increased
live stock farrning,theetudy of the forage
problem is one of great moment. Timothy
, and clover are no! well adapted to the
; wheat growing section, bur the ex peri-
I "•?•? HV/ I, ion ' blili« located in the heart

By referring to the rainfall map again
it will be so-r, ,|, , t ti,, n , M H | : , rtr) ,
region, comprising part* of Lincoln
Adams. Franklin, Kliekitac, V ■kmi,,
Kittitas and Douglas pouqti«n, in which
the rainfall is lews than 10 inches. This
is not sufficieut for agricultural pur
posn#, but ihe area iti question being
I mostly oplaod prairies, is cover d by n
growth of nutritious sraftjfs, which are
fiiiiy utilized by herds of cattle and

Lying around thin area of 10 inch
rainfall is a strip of laud From 10 to

gradually increase From lv inches on
the inner side to 15 inches ou the outer
| side. Within this strip, near the l."i inch
rainfall line, fonhiderable wheat is
grown, )iti<l with very intelligent man
agement is successful; but the most of
this area is used mostly cs a ur.tzinj;
country, for which it is valuable. The
wild grasses upon it were originally both
abundant and nutritious
But even here the Image problem is
nn important one. The native grasses
have been largely killed out by over
stocking with cattle and sheep; and it is
yet an unsolved problem how these
ranges shall be regrassed. It is a prob
lem, however, that is engaging the at
tention of the division of agrostology
at Washington City, as well as that of
our own experiment station, and there
is much hope of a successful outcome
from the investigations undertaken. Mr.
A. B. Leckenby of Portland, Or., is the
special agent of the division of agros
tology in charge of these investigations,
aud his long experience with grasses will
undoubtedly render his work of great
value to herdsmen in regrassing the de
pleted ranges. The state experiment
station is also engaged on the same
problem.
A DIVERSITY OF i»KO DUCTS
Short SermOß By One Who Has Made
Such Farming Successful.
Makes Butter.Cheese and Ice Cream,
Fattens Hojjs anil Ships Car
loads of Kjjgs.
Thomas E. Armistead, one of the pro
prietors of the Hazelwooii dairy and
stock farm near Spokane, and I). M.
Shanks, superintendent of skimming
stations for the farm, were in Colfax
Tuesday. They have been making a
tour of the I'alouse country in the in
terest of the company. Mr. Armistead
is arranging with agents in each of the
l'alouse country towns to handle their
ice cream during the season, while Mr.
Shanks is buying hogs for the Hazel
wood people, and arranging skimmiug
stations wherever practicable. .Mr.
Shanks, who id a well informed and
scientific duiryman aud farmer, is en
thusiastic over the prospects for success
ful diversified farming in the Palouse,
and says the conditions here are ideal
for industrial farming eirried on on
business principles.
In conversation with a reporter, Mr.
Shanks said: "L cannot understand
why the farmers of the Palouse country
do not do something with their rich
lands other than raise wheat—a crop
that impoverishes the land, and can
rarely be marketed at a profit. At the
Hazelwood farm we make butter and
cheese, and fatten live stock, shipping
all these articles by the carload through
out the year. We produce aud ship eggs
by the thousand cases, to points
throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and British Columbia, and compete with
eastern laid eggs. Throughout the sum
mer months we ship to different points
in the northwest thousands of gallons
of ice cream weekly. Yet, the ll'izelwood
people are only farmers, who have di
versified. Our business last year ex
ceeded half a million dollars in the
aggregate.
"The experience of the Hazelwood
people recently in fattening hogs is
worth talking about. We bought a car
load of stock hogs at Rosalia, and
fattened them for market on mill feed
and skim milk from the separator and
whey from the cheese vats. The mill feed
cost us at the rate of 40 cents a bushel
for wheat and our experiment showed
that the hogs fattened and ready for
market cost us two cents a pound.
"I believe that a large number of the
foraire gnisses can be grown on the Pa
louse hills. 1 was talking with a farmer
near Genessee last week, who, after tell
ing me he had grown .'SOO acres of wheat
last year, said he lost $200 on the crop,
and then completed his demonstration
of short sightedness, by stating that he
had 800 acres in wheat again this year.
Surely, the methods pursued by which
a farmer raises good crops, and dis
poses of them at a good price, without
a possibility of making a profit—or get
ting even a fair return for his labor—is
all wrong. Even if wheat farming did
pay, the land becomes impoverished,and
the profit from the wheat crop is less in
amount than the damage to the land
through waste and the lessening of the
earning capacity of the land during a
period not exceeding five years."
Sugar Beet Growing.
Last season about thirty acres of
sugar beets were grown on the Barrel!
ranch one mile north of town, says the
Garfield Enterprise. The seeding was
done late and under unfavorable circum
stances, the noil not having the prepara
tion considered necessary for this crop.
The exact returns from this crop were
never made public, although it is gener
ally understood that the margin of
profit was narrow. That the experi
ment was not discouraging is shown by
the fact that 130 acres will be planted
this spring on the same ranch. William
Scheave is engaged to take charge of
the work, and has purchased teams and
is now at work. The beets will be plant
ed on summer fallow, and the most ap
proved methods will be used in planting
and caring for the crop. The crop is al
ready engaged to I). C. Corbin of the
Waverly sugar factory, and the only
question of certain profit is the amount
that can be produced per acre. It is re
ported that a number ef other farmers
in the neighborhood will plant small lots
by way of experiment.
COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, APRIL 20, 1900.
AGREED TO FUSION
Bit Not Through Principles of
IHroel I,p£:islafion.
low Democrats Swallowed a Few
Populists at a Spokane
Banquet.
Audtbitt after the great howl about
initiative and referendum and direct
}egislatioi !
A few members of the state central
comoiitteat of the populist and demo
cratic parties and a baker's dozen of the
chairmen of county committees met at
Spokane Monday and fixed up a nice
little fusion deal, whereby the populist
party is to be wold out to the demo
crats and nail under the democratic name.
Delegates to the national fusion conven
tion of the populists at .Sioux Falls were
also appointed—not elected—an follows:
■I. 1' Fay of Kiujr county, Thomas E.
Duherty ol I'ieree county, J. A. Davis of
Snohomish county, L. C. Crow of Whit
man county, .]. c. Van Patten of Co
lumbia county, .F. H. Todd of Mason
county, Augustus High of Clarke couu
ty, 1.1. Callison of Chehalie county, ().
U. Holcomb of Adams county, Charles
E. Cline of Thurston county, L. W. Ma
son of Chehalie county. The choice of
Spokane county's delegate was the only
one left to a convention.
The following are the great sticklers
f«.r (lin.vt legislation who mot in a stuffy
room and cooked up the scheme which
deprives the populists of nn opportunity
to say whether they shall fuse or not
and to name national delegates:
Adams, W. L. Ulmstead, 11. Dorman;
Columbia, George P. Wright; Chehalis,
A. r. Little; Clallam, Horatio Ailing;
Clarke, Augustus High; Douglas, J. L.
Smith; King, E. 1). McLaugblin, Richard
Winnor; Lewis, 1. I. Callison; Mason, J.
11. Todd; Pacific, I. P. Callison; Pierce,
hrnest LiHter; Snohomish, J. A. Davis;
Spokane, \V. E. Runner, John Coffeen;
Thurston, Horatio Ailing: Walla Walla,
I. P. Callison; Whatcom.fi. D. McLaugh
lin; Whitman, J. N. Janeway. Fifteen
counties were not represented.
The arbiters of populistie destiny call
ed their little gathering a convention,
but everything waa done without bal
lots, on a pre-arrauged plan of the emi
nent direct legislationists.
If the populists swallow this along
with the democratic name the profes
sions of reform so lustily made in the
the past ought to choke them.
There was some opposition to the
scheme, and a few present spoke earnest
ly against the snap judgment taken,
saying the people had a right to say
who should be their national delegates.
As it is picked Unionists are sent.
Democratic Meeting.
The democratic state committee met
at Spokane on the same date and elect
ed Thos. Maloney chairman and C. B.
Goddard of Dayton secretary. The date
for the state convention to elect nation
al delegates was set for May 11). It will
be held at Spokane and composed of
•104 delegates. Whitman county is en
titled to 27.
It took three stormy sessions of the
committee to complete its labors.
Bitter words were spoken and charges of
jobbery openly made, especially in the
matter of procuring proxies. Fourteen
committeemen were present and 10 coun
ties were represented by proxy. William
(ioodyear of the Commoner represented
Island county by proxy.
On motion, the chair appointed C. H.
(ioddard, William Welsh and E. C. Mil
lion a committee on credentials. After
a short absence the committee presented
two reports. One signed by (ioddard
and Welsh favored seating all proxies.
The other, signed by Million, refused to
recognize proxies held by other than a
bona tide resident of the county repre
sented. This would have shut out every
proxy. The majority report was adopt
ed after a spirited debate.
Fusion Agreement.
While fusion did not come fairly before
the populist meeting, the matter was
freely discussed, and the sentiment was
strongly in favor of this course. The
actual fusion wan agreed to at a banquet
held in the evening, at which the demo
crats, populists and a few silver republi
cans were present. Plans for a joint
state convention to nominate a ticket
were practically agreed to by these few
who imagine they carry the votes of the
people about in their vest pockets. This
convention is to be a conglomerated
mess of 250 democrats, 250 populists
and 100 silver republicans—if that num
ber can be found. They are all to sail
under the democratic name.
These Did the Job.
Just to show how little the parties at
large were represented, the names of all
present at this dollar dinner are given.
It will be noticed that a large propor
tion of the list are state officeholders
elected or appointed by populism, who
are now most anxious to be re-elected
under the name of democrats.
Those at the banquet board were the
following: Governor John R. Rogers, ex-
Congressman W. C. Jones, Judge J. C.
Stall cup and Ernest Lister of Tacoma;
and John Slater of Colville of the state
board of audit and control: State Labor
Commissioner William Blackrnan, Coal
Mine Inspector C. F. Owens, Grain In
spector George P. Wright, Deputy Audi
tor H. S. Ailing of Olympia; Chairman
Thomas Maloneyof the democratic state
central committee, Chairman E. I). Mc-
Laugnlin of Seattle, of the populist state
central committee; J. B. Catron, warden !
of the Walla Walla penitentiary; Dr. I).
C. Newman of Spokane, of Vhe state
board of health; Dr. P. S. Byrne of
Spokane, Dr. Mosier of Tekoa, Senator
J. A. Davis of Snohomish, J. If. Ilagervy
of Okanogan, George Welty of Coivilie,
It. Lee Purdin of Ellensburg: William
Goodyear, editor of the Colfax Com
moner, C. E. Brooks of Marcus, J. I).
Moody of Everett, William Welsh of
Tacoma, K. P. Turnley of Rosalia, J. T.
Hollis of Wavprly, Warner Cobb of Fair
field, J. H. (Farmer) Todd of Mason
county, 11. A. Borden of Medical Lake,

James Durkin, Howard T. Mallon,James

Mcßride, Oscar Peterson, W. C. Fritter
and Phil Steinberg, all of Spokane.
These are the men who agree to fuse
and make democrats of populists.

SARCASM FOR THE JUDGE.
Spokane Lawyer* File a Brief la the
liewis Contempt Case.
It will bo remembered that on .Indue
McDonald's "ftkunk-ekinniog" expedition
to Spokane a tew months ago—whirl,
enterprise he suddenly abandoned for
reasons well known to himself and has
; never returnej—he ordered Attorney W
,A. Lewis to j..,il f nr «.)(> days for con
tempt for tiling affidavits for a new trial
ascribing misconduct of the court in the
trial of a case in which Lewis was inter
ested. The jodge's favorite method of
not permitting any one to say a word
or file a paper—when he can help it —was
employed, though it was not so raw and
despotic as that he used in the Ntsslycaee
when he not only refused to allow .\Yss
ly's attorney. F. K. Hannn, to gay v
word, but ordered Clerk Renfrew not !••
receive and tile any paper offered by
Hanna, and then capped the climax b\
also ordering the clerk not to issue any
subpoenas for witnesses for the defense.
The Spokane attorney appealed his
case to the supreme court and has filed
a warm brief. Among many other ex
tracts which will prove interesting to
the Hon. Won. McDonald, judge of the
superior court, etc., etc , is this:
"If it be the law that the record of the
court, using the word 'record' ia the
sense in which the court used it in this
case, cannot be impeached, then litigants
and advocates are in hard case. We
ascribe nothing to the court, from the
judgment of whom this appeal is taken
But there might be judges so lost to a
sense of their position as to prepare
records to suit their own end; who,
when carried b?yond the limits of their
jurisdiction in the heat of anger and
passion, might attempt to preserve the
appearance of acting within their juris
diction by preparing and amending, and
altering orders, with such recitals as
they saw fit to make, and procuring the
entrance of nunc pro tune orders. We
say that such judges might sometimes
be found, and if absolute verity is to be
ascribed to a record which consists of
orders and judgments prepared by the
judge himself, perhaps for the very pur
pose of sustaining his judgment, and
the record cannot be contradicted by
direct attack upon it, the liberties of the
people are threatened. But we do not
concede that to be the law."
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local apnlications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets mrtamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hfiaring, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
