Medford people who have Irrigated tbelr gard.ns for tbe past ten or twelve years and have ex perienced none of tbe calamities pre dicted above will hardly believe that tbe farm lands of the y alloy will be made barron waste by aupplying them witn an occasional wetting, - -The Woodburn nursery stock Is positively tbe best on tbe market.

It Is a very disgusting habit that of expectorating on the sidewalks. The many bundrod feet of good, substantial cement walks are a beautiful thing to look upon but when they are bespat tered with tobacco Juice they are un sightly things. Thore ought to be an ordinuiico passed prohibiting spitting on sidewalks. It is a filthy habit and is vary annoying to thoso of our towns people who believe In cleanliness and who hnve a doslro to keep our little city looking as pretty and tasteful as possible. Asldo from being unsightly tho habit Is dangerous from a sanitary point of view as many disease germs find harbor In the dress skirts of pass ing women and aro in this way carried home, where firm lodgement Is found for them In the person of some member of tbe household.

In many of our brick buildings wood lintels are used, and while they oarry tbe weight easily enough the shrinking of the timbers after tbe brick are laid on thorn ofttlmes raises sad bavoo with the entire fronts and In some cases the brick have bulged out and fallen to tbe walks below.
