A snow Htorm visited Norlbfrn
N w York on May 28tli and the
mercury full to 80 degrees at Can
itnduiguft. Hume damage to fruit
wan repotted at Goncva, L'tiea and
oilier points.
Dairy and Produce Review pub
liahed at San Francisco, in its issue ,
of June 6 said: "Over 10,000
pounda of Oregon cheese wan placed
on the market during tbe pant week
and o!d readily at 14 J cents."
A few weeks ago it was anticipa
ted that tho Uuited 8ta!e8 would
have a great apple crop this year,
but the estimates are now mow
moderate and at the bout not more
than an average crop is expected.
There will be a great many more
hog raised in Oregon this year than
ever before in tbe history of the
stale. A great many farmers arc
convinced that they havo so'.vtd
the problem of the profitable pro
duction of boge in Oregon.
A lot of steers, bred and fed in
Texas, sold in Chicago for $0 85
per cwt. As tbey averaged 12-55
pjunds in weight, the average
price per- bead was 85 08. Tbe
extreme top price paid for steers
that day was $7 Co per hundred
pounds.
The proHjiect for the coming ap
pie crop is now nv.icb lees promis
ing in Missouri, Arkansas and Kan
jhb than it was a few weeks ago.
l'hero were plenty of blossoms bu!
very little fruitreinains on the trees
Kurlher ea.ut a large crop is still ex
peeled.
Farm telephone systems aro mak
ing almost as rapid progress as ru
ral free delivery of the mails. B.tli
will soon become so es.-entiul that
farmers will wonder how they ever
mnnnged to get along without them'.
The luteal city convenience to pene
trate the rural districts is -that of
ilectrio lights. We noticed a re
port recently ttn.t a company in
Oregon was running lines into thp
country to supply farm houses with
ilectrio lights. In the cities tbe
- lectric light companies charge
-mall users a great deal more for
dectric lights than the cost of ob
tain'ng the same amount of light
from kerosene; but perhaps' they
oan make money at a lower rate
than they are in the habit of charg
ing. If tbey can put down tbe
price so as to fairly compete witij
kerosene, electric lights would,
prove a great convenience, 'espec
ally in barn?, where if tbe wiring
is properly done, they are much
afer than lanterns.

To Destroy Slugs.
Slugs are among the most bother
ome pests in the vegetable garden
n Oregon and sometimes injure
field crops in this state. The fol
lowing method for combatting them
is credited by an exchange to Mr.
Henry Tryon, entomologist, being
taken from an article written by
lim for the Queensland Agricultural
Journal:
"Among deterrents tbe use of
obflcco waste may be especially
rec mtuended. This is composed
if the disoarded midrib or stout,
leutral rib of the leaf after it baB
ieen cured, and at present may be
ibtained at the tobacco factories at
t mere nominal cost, say five
billings per load. Lay the waste
n the Soil around tbe portion to
be protected. When the slugs come
n contaot with it they secrete a
hin film of transparent mucus
from their strap-like feet, as if to
jrotect them from injury, but the
obacoo waBte is fatal to them. You
nay also make a decoction of to
)acoo from tbe waste in this way :
?ill a barrel with the stems, and
over with water. Let this stand
for twenty-four hours. There will
ihen ensue a slight fermentatii d.
Drain off the water, and boil it
down to the strength required. If
you want a very strong solution, fill
the barrel with frt-sh stems and fill
up wilh the water already used."

A Strawberry Famine.
The Maii, recently mentioned
the fact tbat there had been a po
tato famine this epririg iu the mar
kets of Medford, notwithstanding
tbe fact tbat the Rogue River valley
is one of the best potato producing
districts on this coast, and the
further fact that the p.ice has run
from one and a half to two and a
half cents per-pound during the
past year,.; find the price never
touches tbe bedrock price of twenty
cents "per bushel, ' which it. some
times does in tbe eastern states.
And now to our discredit, as a
supposedly enterprising agricultural
community,' Thk Mail is compelled
lo admit that there has been a
scarcity of strawberries in the Med
ford market for this season, the
local crop not nearly supplying thi
demaiid. More than half , of the
berrie3 sold here, since the Oregon
crop supplanted the California ber
ries, have come from Creswtll, AI
bany, Salem, Portland, and other
Willamette valley points. As a
consequence of . importing straw
berries from a distance of from 200
to 400 miles, the price of this best
of all table berries has not been less
(ban ten cents a box, lor good qual
ity berries, at any of the stores in
Medford. ' ' ', , -Tbat
there should not be enough
s'rawberries raised in this valley
to supply even the local demand, is
a pre'ty hard setback to our boast
ing of having the best fruit growing
district on; the-Pacific- coasts : Tbe
strawberries that we do" raise here
cannot be' excelled for size and for
flavor, tbe warm, .sandy soil, to
gether with unlimited sunshine,
developing and ripeoing them to
perfection, while the yield cannot
be exceeded by that of the famous
Hood River section. But some day
there will be strawberries in plenty
for the Medford market, and car
loads for shipment to other markets,
and the dollars now sent away for
strawberries will be kept at home
and one more leak to the financial
prosperity of Jackson County will
be stopped. -

"I surtcrod Irom dyspepsia and Indigestion
for tlftecn years," says W. T. Sturdevnnt, of
Merry Oats, N. C. "After I had tried many
doctors and modlcines to no avail oue of my
friends persuaded mo to try Kodol. It give
Immediate relief. I can eat almost anything
I want now and my digestion Is good. I cheer
fully recommend Kodol." Dou't try to oure
stomach trouble by dieting, That only further
wonkons the system. You need wholesome,
strengthening food. Kodol enables you- to as
slmilate what you eat by digesting it- without
the stomach's aid. Chas. Strang.

"Professor," said an acquaintance,
"you understand Latin, do you not?"
"Well," replied tbe professor, "I may
be said to have a fair knowledge of
Latin; yes."
"I know everybody says you have. I
wish you would tell me what 'vollx'
means. Nobody that I have asked
seems to have heard tbe word." -
"If there Is any such word as 'vollx,'
madam, of which I havo st;rlous
doubts, I certainly do not kuow what
It means." ,
. "You surprise me, professor. A man
of your . attainments ought to know
that 'vollx' means vol. Ix." .
The professor devoted a moment to
calling up bis reserves and bringing his
light artillery Into action.
"It Is uo wonder, madam," he srtld,
"that I did not see the point of your
Joke. Vou left the point out of It,"
