'FELL OVER 240-FOOT BLUFF.
Mishap to Win. Halts, While Cruising
Timtx r Near Oakland.
To fall over a bluff 240 feet high
and live to tell the tale, was the ex
perience of Wm. Batts, a .timber
cruiser, who la under the care of a
physician at his home on Pine street,
In this city. Batts, who is a recent
arrival from New York state, met
with the accident In the darkness of
Sunday nlwht, November 22, while
returning frpm a cruise In company
with K. E. Evarts, of this city, Into
the timber In township 2"-7, near It.
O. Lehman's place, 14 miles west of
Oakland. Although he escaped death
miraculously. Halts was severely In
jured. Ho sustained three fractured
ribs, a dislocated shoulder and knee
cap, a broken finger and innumer
ahl cuts and bruises. It will be sev
eral weeks before he will be able
to leave his bed and many more
weeks after that before he fully re
gains his former strength.
After eating their dinner at the
Lehman plcae, Halts and Evarts
struck out for the timber, which lay
on a mountain. This they ascended,
remaining until nightfall, when they
started upon their return to Leh
man's. In some manner they lost
their way, and at one place, where
Uatts was felling his way along with
a stick, he reinnrked that It "was no
use to go any farther in this direc
tion." He turned around, and the
nert moment Evarts heard him strike
the earth considerable distance bo
low him and knew instantly that he
had fallen over a bluff. Evarts called
out to Halls, but received no reply,
and then decided to remain where he
was until morning and Investigate.
In the meantime Mr. Lehman, be
coming alarmed ut the failure of
Batts and Evarts to return, secured a
lantern and started up the-mountaln
to look for them. He came upon
Evarts and when Informed of what
had happened made; his. way to tho
edge of the bluff and called out to
Batts, who answered and was located
240 feet below. Baits had fallen
down a series of Inclines, ranging in
length from 10 to 25 feet. He was
assisted to Mr. Lehman's home and
there given medical attention by Dr.
Gilmour, of Oakland. On Thanks
giving Day, four days later, he was
brought to his home in Roseburg.
Batts is the third man in 18
months, who lias been crippled while
cruising in the vicinity of Mr. Leh
man's place.

Th Work Hor.
Work bones should t groomed
twice a day. .
The harness should be removed as
soon as the work 1b done.
Never give food Immediately after
hard work. The stomach at that time
Is In no condition to receive food.
The work horse should have a va
riety of food.
Upon the clean condition of the skin
the health of the horse largely de
pends. Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoof, due to a deficiency of wa
ter In the bone, the result of fever.
Keep a lump of salt In the manger.
Never trot a horse downhill.
Never put a dirty, rough bit In a
horde's mouth.
Don't leave a shoe on a horse more
than four weeks.
Do not allow the stable to be too
light during the summer time.
Bulking Is caused by overloading,
right harness or abuse.
Keep the mangers sweet and clean.
The best time to clean the mud off
tho horse legs is before It gets dry.
The farm borse should be a walker,
the road horse a trotter.
For a horse to masticate four pounds
of hay will require over an hour, half
an hour for four pounds of whole oats
and fifteen minutes for four pounds of
ground feed.
Tho following is recommended as an
invaluable hoof remedy: Linseed oil.
half pint; turpMitim. four ounces; oil
of tar, six ounces; orgatium, three
ounces. Shake well.
Castrating Pigs.
The work should always bo done In
the morning, as they will move about
during the day and thus escape much
of the soreuoss that would follow
evening work. When done In the
evening and they go at once to their
beds and remain till morning, they
come out very stiff. Pigs that are
ruptured should be castrated as soon
as they it re large enough; the older
they get the greater the risk of total
loss. The work should be done, if pos
sible, before the heat of the season
or day becomes excessive. When very
warm it is easy to overheat a pig in
hi;rH flesh and kill him. When it Is
warm a cool pen about the building
should be selected, and It will be an
nld to dampen the floor well. The
work is always more pleasant as re
gards cleanliness If the floor of the
pen is well covered with clean. straw.
Test the Wool.
In keeping ewe lambs for breeders
It Is a good plan to test the strength
of their wool. Take samples of all the
ewe lambs and see tvhlch threads are
the strongest Tough fiber may bo
transmitted from cue generation to
the next ns well os other good charac
teristics. Rend RovJew ad vs. for bargains.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Fertilizing Valu of Straw.
In tlie great wheat belts It Is often
the practice to burn straw. In other
sections straw Is largely wasted, says
American Cultivator. Straw has botb
a considerable feeding and a fertiliz
ing value. In order to determine Its
fertilizing value experiments have been
made by the Maryland experiment Bta
tlon. Fresb wheat straw was broad
casted at a rate of two tons per acre
In the early fall and plowed down the
following spring, and the following re
sults were obtained:
The untreated land prefaced thirty
four bushels of corn per acre and six
teen bushels of wheat The straw land
produced nfty-olght and nineteen bush
els respectively, and the same land ma
nured produced eighty-six bushelB of
corn and twenty-two bnsbelB of wheat
The results show that while straw la
not as valuable a fertilizer as manure.
It will produce a considerable increase
in yield and should be used fresh where
availablo rather than allowed to go to
waste.
Protein For Growing Hogs.
At an Illinois farmers' Institute Tro
fessor William Dietrich of the Illinois
experiment station presented some
practical lessons in growing pigs, say
ing: "For the pig two to six months
old protein is the most important feed.
Without protein it cannot build up the
lean ment or grow to any size. Pro
tein is found In sklmmllk, clover and
alfalfa. Corn is nine-tenths carbohy
drates. Oats have a little more pro
tein thnn does corn. Barley is one of
the best feeds ou the farm. It contains
more protein thnn does rye. In clover
and alfalfa tliero Is a large bulk for the
required nutrients, and pigs cannot get
enough for a maximum growth. Even
if you have corn and clover it Is still
necessary for the young pigs to have
somo protein f ood cowpens, soy
beans or Canada Held peas. There is
nothing bettor grown on the farm to
balance up the ration, and their use on
our farms should become much more
common than at present

most annoying cold sore I ever had
