Calves.
MORAL: Thousands many benefit
by the Perseverance of One.
N. B. —It is made by the O. H. Mfg.
Co., Lyndon, Vt. Lilly-Bogardus, Se
attle, are Coast agents.
The above is the story of the found
ing of a business by Mr. I. H. Hall,
jr. Starting in this small way, Mr.
Hall, who is a young man of ideas and
resources, has succeeded in establish
ing a trade extending to all parts of
the country, where calves are raised.
At first he worked the trade by means
of traveling salesmen, having seven
teen men and teams traveling over
the country, but during the past two
years has been a large user of space
in the live stock and dairy press. He
has also added a line of veterinary
remedies.
DUNGENESS CREAMERY OPENING.
The new Dungeness creamery, es
tablished by D. S. Troy and the Ladd
estate, is now well under way. The
building will be shortly completed, and
the equipment will be of the most
modern appliances. It will be ready
for operation by October 1. A meet
ing and pionic will be held prior to
the opening, to which all the farmers
and their wives of that section aro
, most cordially invited. It is expect
ed that H. L. Blanchard, the presi
dent of the State Dairymen's Associ
ation, will be present and give one of
his interesting talks on dairying, what
it has done for this state and what
the State Dairymen's Association ex
pect it to do. A general good time is
promised all who attend. J. A. Woll,
who is well known among dairyman
of the state, and who until recently
has had charge of the creamery de
partment of J. B. Agen, will superin
tend the new creamery.
The Meadowbrook Company of Se
attle are putting in a creamery plant
at North Yakima, in quarters which
they have leased for five years. The
equipment, which is furnished by W.
J. Beggs, is first-class in every partic
ular and represents an outlay of over
$2,000. The Meadowbrook Company
announce that they have established
the creamery at Yakima as a perma
nent enterprise. In connection, this
company will have their wagons col
lect eggs and poultry from the farm
ers, paying therefor the best current
prices. The farmers will be supplied
with separators, and the cream col
lected by the company's wagons.
It is evident that there is to be no
cessation in the competition of cream
eries in Central Washington. On the
contrary, the establishment of new
plants signifies that the rivalry for the
patronage of the dairy farmers will
be stronger than ever. Guess the
dairymen of the Yakima valley will
get about all there is coming to them
this year.
BEGGS ON YAKIMA.
Yakima is growing faster than any
other dairy district in the state, hav
ing for several years past doubled it
self. There is absolutely no danger
in this state. Seattle alone receives
from the eastern market two carloads
of butter per day, not to say anything
of the butter received by boat from
Oregon and California. Western
Washington available lands are sup
porting all the dairy stock they can,
hence the supply must come from
Central and Eastern Washington. The
THE RANCH.
Yakima valley is particularly adapted
to dairying. Its immense crops of clo
ver and alfalfa, the hay best suited
for milk production, and the abund
ance of pure water make it an ideal
district for carrying on this industry
with profit. I believe the Sunnyside
and Yakima electric line will be a
great factor in promoting dairy inter
ests. Sunnyside farmers now receive
5 cents per hundred less for their
milk than the Yakima farmer because
of the expense of getting the milk to
a shipping point. With a railroad near
at hand this would not be the case. I
look for great things from the Yakima
country in the way of dairying within
the next yew years.—W. J. Beggs, in
Yakima Herald.
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The fall semester of the State Agri
cultural college, Pullman, begins Sept.
24. Write to the registrar for catalog
and information.
Expenses at the college are very
low indeed. Room rent, including
steam heat and electric light, $10 to
$12 per semester, or $20 to $24 per
year, payable at the first of each sem
ester. The rooms have bedstead, table,
chairs, commode and closet. The
student furnishes bedding, towels, etc.
Students take care of their own room 3.
Boarding on the co-operative system
in the college dining hall averages
about $2.75 per week. Private board
ing in town from $3.50 to $4.50 per
week. Students may rent rooms in a
private house and board themselves.
A library fee of $1 each year is
charged each student. A students' as
sembly fee of $1 each semester is
charged each student for the benefit
of various student organizations. Stu
dents who have military drill are re
quired to purchase a cadet suit, which
costs, made to order, $15.25.
The Commercial Stamp works, Se
attle, is the place to send for rubber
stamps, stencils, etc. You will be
treated right.
After all, Governor Mcßride's agita
tion of the railroad commission was
the cause of the material freight rate
reduction in Eastern Washington.
A great many people in the North
west who have arid land want to get
water on it. The Western Machinery
company, of Seattle, have added a de
partment to their business devoted to
the most approved styles of pumping
apparatus for irrigation purposes and
have secured a man who has had
large experience in establishing irri
gation plants throughout California,
Arizona and Mexico. He will be glad
to communicate with anyone desiring
to reclaim land by artifiicial means.
Dr. Tamesie will establish a con
densed milk factory at Hillsboro, Ore.
"What is your rule of business —
your maxim?" we ask of the Wall
street baron.
"Very simple," he answers. "I pay
for something I can't get, with money
that I haven't got, and then sell what
I never had for more than it ever
cost." —Life.
