Vancouver.— Fourth Plain, now a 'oiiininnity with ihe thriving village of t ffebards ** the renter, is expect;ig to conic into its own in a few years. The reason is a system of agriculture known to Orchards residents Us the “two-story crop." If the Orchards residents make their present system work, it will be the tirst plan tor tilling the scanty Fourth Plain soil that has proved a success si lice the tUnd wu* tirst cultivated by tlie Hudson's Bay company some SH) years ago. Tin* l{tid*ou Bay funner* made the land pay. I util very recently, the only other iieople that profited from Fourth Plain were the real estate men. who frequently sold the same tract of land two ot* three times a year. Soil Looks Fine. The soil of Fourth Plain is fine looking on top. In fact, what soil there is is good soil, hut it exists only iu very stiiall quantities. An Inch or so beneath the surface gravel Is found. Eastern people, lured into buying a small- farm, soon found that it could not be made to produce. Even prunes failed, rids being about Hie worst thing that can be said for southern Washington hind.

SPANISH TANG STICKS TO CITY San Antonio Is Mixture of Old Spain aid Mexico* and Hustling America of Today. ALAMO, SHRINE OF TEXAS Scene of Recent Disastrou* Flood Famed in Story and Legend— Once Spanish Town Now Hustling Thriving Metropolis. Washington. I*. — San Antonio. Texas, scene of the latest destructive Mood in the I idled States, i* the subject of the following hulietin Issued from the Washington, D. L\, headquarters of the National Geographic *<s

rlety.

"San Antonio is an intimate mixture of old Spain and Mexico, and tlie Inis tllng America of today,” says the bulletin. "It began it* life iu 171<* as a tiny Spanish military settlement—‘El Presidio de San Antonio d<* Bexar.' Bat that leisurely name officially lost most of it* trimmings when the town iit'canit* an American community, and ti many who have known it best -including <>. Henry—it has taken on th*' unofficial cognomen. 'Sunantone.' Losing Its Foreign Flavor. “A hundred years ago San Antonio was almost entirely Spanish and Mexican. Fifty years ago it could be considered only half Anuu’ieau. Then the railroads came to quicken its life, tlie rich 'cow country’ round about was developed, and a few far-sighted business men woke up to tlie fact that it was situated without competitors Iu the very center of a territory that would need unmeasured supplies, Slio-e that time San Antonio Inis grown Its forest of sky-scraper* and factory chimneys like scores of its fellow American cities. Approaching the LHIO,lK»t mark, and with a greater population than that during the winter tourist season, it leads all other cities in Texas though it is closely approached by Dallas and Houston. An observer set down suddenly on Commerce or Texas street might easily imagine himself in Syracuse, Atlanta. Memphis, Dayton or any one of a dozen other cities of a similar size. “As it has grown. San Antonio ha* lost most of its exotic flavor; tiut touches of old Spain and Mexico are still to be found If one searches for them. A few of the narrow, winding streets of tlie old days are left with sidewalks on which two pedestrians can hardly pass. Iron-barred windows are to be seen behind which coy senoritus have stood as Spanish or Mexican youth* 'played tlie hear’ Grated doors and gate* in yard-thick walls of the mission days hint at mystery. Those who like the peppery dishes of Latin America may find them of u quality not equaled outside fhe City of Mexico and a few of the larger cities of the southern republic. "Anti in the center of the town, strolling down ordinary business streets, one comes suddenly upon tlie historic Alamo, ttie 'Thermopylae of America.’ There in Texas' war for independence from Mexico, 179 American frontiersmen held off for ten days a Mexican army of fl.OOO until the last defender was killed. It i* a battered old hulhling raised by tlie hand* of Franciscan monks '20H years ngo as an outpost of the Christian religion among tlie Indian*. Because of the part it played iu their war of independence it is a sailed shrine to all Texans. "A string of four other mission* extending for fifteen or twenty mile* down the San Antonio river represented, with the Alamo and the Presidio and the village of Sun Antonio, nO that there wits of civilization in that I»art of Texas ‘200 years ago. Automobile buses now wblsk tourists over the ’mission loop' and they clninher over the crumbling walls and bait over tlie liquid Spanish names—I’urtsica Conception, San Jose. San Franelsco ile la Espadn. anil S’an Juan Capistrano. River Hidden by Business Buildings “A visitor to San Antonio could hardly imagine destruction from tbe San Antonio river. He might even maintain that the city has no river at all. only a creek. In the forest of modem business buildings the river is as effectively hidden as Is tlie Genesee in Rochester. The San An tnntn rises practically within the city limits, gushing full grown from rocky fountains. Its narrow bed ha* been paved, and It meanders sluggishly through the city for all tin* world like a medium-sized irrigation ditch. In a stroll through Mu* hiisln**s> district one will cross the little stream half a dozen times in going b s* titan a score of blocks. “S'tm Antonio's little river ha* always added a pirturesque touch t*' the city. Throughout the business district the hunks of the walFconflned stream have been parked, mid groups pause constantly on th*- many little bridge* to admire the sloping, closecrcppi'd lawns set with flower beds and shaded by tall, «le**p green clumps of banana trees.”

TESTING DAIRY COWS Increased Profit* sa Result of Cooperative Work—Bull Asxociation* Haise Quality of Herds. Increases of from $10 to $15 and in suiue cases much higher in the annual profits from each dairy eov. have resulted from the organization of eoopoiative eow-tealing assueiutiom. in tlie United .States, according to statistics gathered by the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agticulluie. Thcexpense of membership in these associations, ou tlie other hand, has bee* only about JL.'iO per cow per year. The organizations therefore have been very profitable. Because of the great and obvious economic advantage t.. '.sin;, front the a.sociulions daily specialists of the d. partment believe that the organizations an o' * of the ntojt important Fetors for the upbuilding ..nd development of tlie dairy industry iu this country. Such au organization consists ,-yenerally oi 20 farmers living within a radius of a few miles, who cooperato to hire au expert tester to keep accurate accounts of thcamounts and cost ol feed consumed by each cow in the association, the quantity of milk produced by each and its richness in butler lat. These statistics Usually reveal the fact that oome cows are not producing enough to pay for their keep, while others are highly p -ofltable. Acting ou this information the owner of the cows disposes of the least desirable of bis animals ami makes up his hen exclusively of those that produce a considerable

profit.

The membership of the association is placed at 20 so the tester can make a complete round each month, devoting one work day to each member, and that he may keep his records on a monthly basis. It has been found by careful experiments that the averages lias* <1 on monthly tests do not vary more than 2 per cent front the production, as shown by d-til observations. Since tlie tester is an expert and can make the necessary tests and computations rapidly, and since he can be depended on io make his observations independently of pressure of work on tlie individual farip, the owners of dairy cows tind it cheaper and more satisfactory in many cases to have their testing done through the association than to undertake to do it themselves. There are now r nearly :!r>0 cow testing associations in the United States. 125 having been added (hiring the la t year. These associations have an aggregate membership of k.koO farmers, owning approximately 150.000 cows. The cow-testing association originated in Denmark in 1K95 and the firs* of the argunizations in this country was formed in Michigan in 1906. Because of the value of the associations to tlie dairy Industry of the country the United States Department of /vgticulture is stimulating interest in them and is assisting farmers in their organization. Another and somewhat similar line of cooperative work whi-h is being encouraged by the department for the improvement of dairying and cattle raising is the formation of bell associations. The function of these organization* is to make available, at slight expense, the services iff pure-bred bulls for theherds of the associated farmers. It lias been found that often the total value of the scrub bulls owned by farmers is sufficient to supply throu ’ a bull association puw bred bulls for the herds of all. A number of "blocks" of the association members are formed ami a pure bred hull placed in each. The hulls are shifted every two years to prevent inbreeding. A considerable proportion of the nearly 22 million cows in the United Slates are loo inferior to produce profitably. Where tlie bull associations have been formed the grade of the stock has been raised appreciably. Dairy specialists of the department believe (hat Ihese associations will he an important factor in increasing Hie quality of dairy cattle throughout the country.

The Care of Young Calves. The importance of feeding and caring for dairy calves is emphasized by J. B. Filch, associate professor of dairy husbandry in the Kan. as Stale AgriCUlttoT College. “Calve* should be f**d whole milk until they are one month old. wlun they should lie changed to skim milk." said Professor Fitch. ’ They should be fed skim milk until they are sixmonths old. While they are on milk they should he given some grain and

alfalfa hay.

"A good mixture for grain feed is four parts of corn or corn chop, one part of oil meal and two parts of wheat bran. After taking the calf off | the milk, increase the grain gradually to two pounds a day iu addition to silage and alfalfa bay. “It used to lie considered that good flesh was undersirable in dairy calv es but experiments show that this is no' the case and that quite the contrary is the case, especially before calving. "The heifers should he hr**; so a* to calve when from twenty-four to thirty montlis of age, depending upon tin* breed and growth of the aniiiml. T/u* Guernsey and the Jet-cy should ho bred so as to ealve when ftotti twenty-four io twenty-six months old, while the Holstein and Ayrshire breed* should he bred so as to calve when tlerty months of age.

Play A routes Protest.

There is a play in London called "A

Bill of Divorcement," wherein a woman is divorced from her lunatic huapand, fails iu love with another inttn and then is faced with the return of her husband, who has become sane. This is a so-called propaganda divorce play, and incidentally it has aroused many churchmen to protest. Apropos

gays tlie Kev. Clarence May : “When you talk about lunacy as a

ground for divorce, have you ever thought of the cruelty to the ones left behind In the lunatic asylum? I have been in many Inqpiic asylum*, utid many of Hie inmates are as sane as you ami 1 are for live-sixths of the day. Often it happens that the one thing * man in an asylum is not mad about is tlie woman he loves—ami that la the one comfort and consolation in life left to him. If we are to divorce for mathtess, why not for consumption and cancer? So-called easier divorce will never get rid of Ha* hard cases, j Perhaps if a man's whole soul and mind were mad, and nothing really remained hut his body, you would have * case for divorce. But bow are you to tell when a lunatic can never recover, when patients are often released from asylums after spending ten to

twenty years inside':”

Incidentally, the discussion Is further involved by the appearance of a

book written by

doctor, in which be urges tbe eonsideration of euthanasia for the hopelessly Insane. He would place th** lunatic husband or wife In a lethal chamber. But the ink is hardly dry in his book before an equally prominent lawyer offers violent opposition, asking ia-rtl-nently who Is to he tbe final judge of those who are to be put to death, and

what standard Is to be set.

Tbe Kev. Basil (>. Bourchier, vicar of tbe fashionable St. Judo-on the-lllll in tlie Hampstead Garden suburb. Is a cousin of the well-known actor Arthur Bourchier. and no less dramatic, though he speaks from the pulpit. He has been prenehing a series of Sunday evening sermons on marriage and divorce, and ills large church has been crowded to the doors. In frankness he asks no odds of Billy Sunday, though he floes not share tlie ex-base-ball player's views ou tbe evils of alcoholic I leverages. Says tlie vicar of

SI. Jude’s:

Make Marriage Harder.

“Should divorce be made easier? Most certainly not. Instead of making this horrible tiling more easy let us work to make marriage harder. To get married today is far too easy and simple. I am all for making marriage, on Its legal side, purely a civil or stall affair- as on the continent—the nup tlal mass or benediction of the church to follow In the cnae of those who really want and appreciate it. a* It Is today, we clergy an- hired hirelings of the civil authority so far aa marriages are concerned. Our isisitlon is as false as It Is undignified. If and where and when an intended union may he considered sacrilegious, uitrs ought to he the right to refuse to solemnize such. As things an* we possess no such right. If, therefore, we are to continue to he state regis’ trnrs surely we should he entitled H nay upon what terms people should he married ‘according to tin- i-pea of the Church of England.* Infinitely better, though, to transfer the legalizing of every marriage to Ihe civil authority." The Kev Mr. Bourchier told his congregation that he considered crueltv Insanity, habitual drunkenness anil "above all, monfiil and spiritual Inability." just grounds for divorcement In his opinion the best way to remedy •the present unhappy sltnatlou was to

flesh should be tbiik and evenly dis

trlbuted throughout the body. The size and weight are largely de-

termined by* market conditions. At | ) resent pigs weighing front 175 to 2‘ 1 ' I pounds ordinarily command the high-

est prices.

The principal breeds of the bacon type are the Tamv.orth and lar.'* Yorkshire, both of British origin. The bacon type is very different from the Ir.rd type, being longer in leg and body, with less width of back, and lighter in the shoulders htid neck. The first impression that th*a type conveys is one of leanness and lattkin* ss. Much emphasis is laid cn th<* development of tbe side, because it is tlie fide of the hog that Is used for the production of baton.

Bureau of Chemistry Reports Result*

of Rcseerch on Protein.

The recent annual report of tbe Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, shows that much work of a research nature haa been done during the past year on tbe ehemical composition of various cereals and otic plants in order to form the basis lot

prominent English practical nutritiv e * xperimenls. Tim

proteins of the plants have been an alyzed and new constituents discovered In some of them. The feedi: value of plants has heretofore b* - estimated largely on the basis of Hi' protein they contained. Investigatin' - have shown, however, that the pro teins in various grains and other feeds differ prea’ly in composition Two cereals which contain appro; mately the same amount of protein may vary much in feeding value b*sause the protein in one of the cereals contains certain constituents neci sary to nutrition which are lacking iu the. proteins of the other cereal. A new protein ha.* been found in the nitrogenous compounds of kat r corn. Tlie compofition of this n* • protein has l*e*-u determined. It eu tains the amino acids lysin and tryp' phtin, both Indispensable to the n< tnal nutrition of animals. These a;e not found in Hie proteins of nttiiz' Now that this is known, Ihe report states, a rational attempt can he mad' to learn how kafir may be fed to make it no less valuable than maize. The peanut has been found to roi tain an abundance of tliainino nitrogen. This form of nitrogen is in indispensable to the normal nutrition of ahininls and is contained in inail" quatc Himiuins in Uie common cert ; - .from which most feeds arc derived. Peanut press-cake should , therefore prove to lie an easily acressible material to make such cereal feeds more efhe'ent, the report states. Practical feeding tests will be mado in co operation with tbe Bureau of Anint i

Industry.

The proteins of rotten seed, Ja' '• h'-an, tomato seed cowpeas. coin germ, and wheat havs been deterntin ed and studied. Many analyses of fou go plants of tbe arid and sent arc West were made for Hie Bureau of Plant Industry.
