I've gotten so that when an agent calls on me with something that 1 don't understand I a:-k him where it is advertised. If ho can't show me anything but a pocketful of hand bills I call the dogs. I don't believe that an advertise ment will make a good article out of a bad one, but 1 am ail-fired cer tain that it is not going to spoil a sure thing.

To saythat it will be bigger and better than eyerdoes not cover the ground, forit stems that it will far exceed the expecta tions of the management. From the stir there is among those who wish to attend the Crook County High school, it seems that the peo ple are becoming convinced that it is a school that is worth while. THE VALUE OF A CITY " The worth of a city can be tested bystudyingJth Aidvertisements in the local paper. Do the grocery stores advertise? Do the hardware stores advertise? Do the clothing stores advntise? And so on down to implement dealers, tailors barbers, larness maker?, liverymen, restau--ants, machine shops, blacksmith jhops garages and all pother stores ind business'oneerns. If the ma . jority of concerns advertise, the town is a good one. MAKING HAY. We have been told that it is good business to "Make h3y while the sun shines" and it seems that the axiom would apply at this particular sea Kn, morejthan at any other time of the'yearif possibler While the weather is warm, there is'nothingtoprevent work, of any kind out of doors, and all indications point to the fact that there will be rain, and many of them during the fall, that will delay many kinds of work that can as'well be 'done now We believe that to the farmer the old saying should especially appeal just now. THE DAN'GER SEASON. We read every few days of the losses by fire in town and country alike, and1 as the dry weather con tinues there' is greater danger every cay. During the past week there have been in this city alone at least three small fires, discovered before mudr damage was done to be sure, but all fires start in a small way, and that there was. no damage done is but agood fortune, which may not come our way another time, At Bend last Wednesday, millions of feet of lumber were destroyed and other property endangered for hours. '' The only moral is that these dan gers are ever present, and that we cannot be too careful. The man who smokes is a source of fire risk always, and at this season the dan gers are at their greatest. If he persists in the smoking habit, it is his duty to see that the property and lives of others are not destroyed. A FUNDAMENTAL'TRUTH The Milwaukee Free Press recently published a true-to-life farmer's story which is a boost for publicity as follows: "I've been soaked a good many times since I Btarted in business for myself and I note that it has always been on an article that wasn't adver tised. I Btarted into the getting soaked business by buying a light ning rod per fool and settling for it per inch. That soaking was folllowed up by the purchase of a patent gate that wasn't advertised. It was sold to me on such close margin that the agent WADE HUSTON SURVEYOR Prineville, Oregon OREGON TRUNK RY.

ROTTING CLOVER IN FIELD It Is a common practice fur farmers w ho grow clover for seed to allow the clover to rot for hcv. end weeks after eiiiUng before they stuck It or tlr.iw It to the barn. SonietiM.cs nd clover cut early Is. allowed to lie In the swaths op windrows for Mx or right week-s, exposed to nil kinds of cllm-ijU' conditions. Clover sucks Mint me poorly construct ed or unprotected frequently be come wet and musty. Sometimes 111 wet portions of the stuck llie clover will even become bluet mid li'Mi ly divompoNo i efotv the si'ed Is hauled. The iv-mit of thin exposure Is s: en In the swelling iird sometimes k'. initiation of those h-mIs w til ii lire not pro tected by hin d seed co ns. Even If the seeds do not germinate. If once they have become thorough ly swollen, even thotc.h snle qi:eiilly dried, they lire of no val ue. Seeds should be llmrottuhly dried in the held when, nil, If the cut clover is rained i on lie fore It lias bad time to dry n great many of the seeds will be destroyed.- I tetter Tannin,;. ADVANTAGES OF GIL0S. Good Silage It th. Best Moat and Milk Producing Roughage Known. Cu account of the Iup kwurd season there will be u largo uuiount of soft com unless the present damp miimnei' Is followed by an uuusually warm fall. Soft eoru means a Tory serious loss to the farmer who depends on corn for bis cash crop- To the dulry farmer the loss Is not great provided lie lias a silo. Com that U overtaken by frost when In the milk stage will make a fairly Rood quality of silage if It is put Into the silo at once. This, according to YV. E. Mnrkey of the College of Agriculture of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, Is the pressing reason for n silo on every farm this year. Several other silo rensous, bow ever, are enumerated by Mr. Mnrkey. The silo furnishes succulent, palata ble feed of uniform nihility that Is al ways near at hand. In addition to high food value silage supplies suceu Icnce, which makes It easily digestible a li J keeps the systems of the cows toned up. This tends to provide June conditions in the dairy In January utid results iu a full niilk flow. The silo preserves the corn crop with the minimum amount of loss, ns the entire plant is made fit fur food. It increases the number of cows that can be kept on a given number of acres. This has beeu estimated at double the cumber possible without a silo. It economizes space, time and build ing costs iu storuge. The entire crop enn be stored In a Bliort time nt a relatively low labor cost in about one third of the space refpilrod to store an equal amount of food value iu the form of hay. Silage makes the most economleal. j convenient feed for supplemcntliiit (short pastures during a period of I drought. A silo equalizes the supply of feed by carrying it over In good condition from one yenr to another. Cases are on record where silage has kept In perfect condition for several years. A silo can be used for ensiling clover or alfalfa during a spell of wet weath er when It would be Impossible to cure It for bay. KINDNESS. It is easy to offer a kind act or pleasant word. A good deed it never lost. He who towi courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plant kindness gathers love. Pleasure bestowed upon a grateful mind it never tterile, but generally begets reward. Basil.

It is a well known fact that disease Is more prevalent among hogs Just aft er they are started on new corn than any other time. Hog sbeds need not be exienslve. but tbey should be dry, tight enough to exclude rains and snows and also capable of being well ventilated In summer when the weuther la hot and shade Is needed.
