Joe Biiif.
In the March number of the
Woman' Home Companion there
wan printd on the last page, "To

verse by John v. mirk in wnicn
ha been more widely copied in
the preM of this country than any
thing that has appeared for many
years. 1 bis was it:
Joe ISlng he cut ten cord o' wood
From line to net o' sun;
He cut It, an' he piled It, too
Yes, sir; that's w'at he done.
To cut ten cord of wood, I tow.

two-fold benefit. It helps the man

"More than that, you will find
the newspaper is read carefully,
not only for the news of people
and events that it gives each day,
but for the interesting news of
stores.
"I have made many interesting
experiments to satisfy myself as to
jiiHt how a newepajer is read. . I
know that other people have done
this and I am pretty sure that the
experience of every man who
makes anv investigations alone

we are purlieu
ly interested in.
"After the H'ronal information
and local news is read, a woman
may glance through to see what
the big news events o the day are
about that is just about as far as
her interest goes. Then she reads
the ads; if, indeed, she hasn't read
them liefore. The ads. are to her
just as interesting as any other
part of the newspaper, and I
suspect many times they are more
interesting than most of the col
umns of the average daily news
paper.
"The store news as given in the
advertising columns is not only of
interest to the thrifty, intelligent
housewife, but it is absolutely an
important part of her daily busi
ness. She wants to keep posted
on the newest things: also, she
must keep informed as to the best
places to buy the articles of mer
chandise that she needs in conduct
uig ner household. All this in
formation she gets from the adver
tising columns of the newspaper
"No one need ever question the
ability of the advertisement to get
itaelf read. That's the easiest
thing in the world Every adver
tisement of fair size is sure to at
tract some attention. If the ad
well put together typographically,
if the headlines are properly writ
ten and properly displayed, and if
the text matter is prepared with
thought and attention; if in other
words it is made interesting
news, the ad. itself will be read
with all the care that is needed.
"After that everything depends
on the message that the ad. car
ries. If that message is one of in
teres t to the woman, if it promises
her a good piece of merchandise at
a fair price, the chances are that
she will buy that merchandise if
she needs it.
"There has been such an atnaos
phere o! mystery and romance
thrown around advertising that 1
think many people are often con
fused by what is after all, one of
the simplest propositions in busi
ness.
"A good store with good mer
chandise can build up a good busi
ness without advertising. If it
adds to its other good things good
advertising, it is sure to build up
a biggt r business, to build it on a
more solid foundation and to place
it beyond the reach of compe
tition."

"The congresses have educated
the people on a subject about
which but little was known 10
years ago, outside of the states and
territories included in tbe arid
regions of the United States. One
who has been alive to the subject
has marked the rapid change in
public sentiment with reference to
this great question.
"That the next quarter of a cen
tury shall, through irrigation,
public and private, change the en
tire country west of the 100th
meridian and make places and
homes for millions of people, is
fact now conceded by all familiar
with the subject. The results, I
believe, will be equal to the
doubling of the strength of the
Nation.

ngation works now being con
structed will cost fully $100,000.
000, while the projects being con
templated and being investigated
for early initiation will cost hun
dreds of millions.
"The irrigation congress has
done its full share of the good
work, yet it has only commenced.
Let those who shall constitute the
congress always have in view the
one question, 'now can they best
promote and forward the recla
mation of the arid regions of tbe
United States?'
Boise is an ideal place for the
congress, lhe rapid development
of ldaho'B agricultural interests
through irrigation works, is a great
obiect lesson. Seeing what is be
inn done will remove the last
doubt on this great subject among
those who shall be bo fortunate as
to attend the congress."

C. J. Millis, livestock agent for
the Harriman lines, has been mak
ing an investigation on the effect
of the packing-house scandals on
tbe market for Oregon cattle, says
the Oregonian. He has found that
the effect has not been noticeable,
nor does he llieve it will be.
I think much ado has been
made about a small matter," said
Mr. Millis. "I think the packing
houses could have been controlled
ith less public outcry. When
the government puts its stamp up
on meat it stands for quality, just
the same as its stamp on tbe green
back. I do not think the dis
closures will have any permanent
effect on the sale of packing-house
products, as American goods are
too good to be affected by senti
ment or prejudice. People must
have meat to eat, and tbe beet
meat is that made from western
cattle, fattened on eastern corn.
"The demand for Oregon cattle
has not fallen off in the least, and
the agitation does not effect range
cattle. Fat beeves now go from
the Oregon ranges to the western
markets, while only young cattle
that will be fed for a year or two
on the intermediate ranges are be
ing sold in the east. Not a single
trainload of heavy cattle has mov
ed to the Chicago market this
year, as the demand is too heavy
for them in the west. Growers
find it more profitable to turn off
their young cattle for the eastern
packing-houses, and the stock does
not reach its destination for a year
or so, as it is fattened in Montana,
Colorado, Idaho and other states,
By the time young cattle are ready
next spring the present outcry will
have been forgotten."
Will Winter Lambs in Mallear.
Getting Rid of Weeds.
J. I. Carson, a well known sheep-
drover, who is in the city from On
tario, in this state, is preparing to
winter 10,000 lambs in Malheu
county says the. Telegram. He
has been purchasing stock in East
em Oregon counties the past spring
and summer, and will provide hay
enough to tide his flocks over the
snowy periods by buying from the
farmers around Ontario. He ex
oects to shear his lambs in the
spring, and then ship the animals
to Nebraska to be fattened for tbe
Chicago market.
"But sheepmen are holding their
stock too high to allow us drovers
to make any money," he said, "and
they must come down or we will
have to go out of business. They
want as much as $2.50 a head for
little Merinos that wont dress
over 30 pounds, and this doesn't
allow us any margin. It costs us
a whole lot of money to winter the
sheep, and we are bound to lose
more or less of them one way or
another before we finally close
them out. I look for a drop in the
price of sheep soon as a result of
low prices of wool."
Mr. Carson is naturally a "bear"
in the sheep market while he is
buying, and he cannot reasonably
be expected to talk any other way
just now. By and by, when he
gets all the lambs he wants it will
be to his interest to talk like
a "bull." At least this is the way
the Oregon sheepraisers look upon
the matter.
People Ask Pardon For ColwelL
Governor Chamberlain has re
ceived a petition for a pardon for
James Colwell, who was jointly in
dicted with George S. Miller and
Burt Bailey for killing Warren
Curtis in Harney county March
22, 1902.
Colwell was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to the
penitentiary for six years. The
petition is headed by Tom Allen.
former sheriff, most of the county
officials and nearly all of tbe citi
zens of Burns.
Curtis was shot during an alter
cation arming over the possession
of some horses.
The Minnesota agricultural ex
periment station has issued a very
instructive bulletin in response to
numerous inquiries from farmers
as to the best method of eradicat
ing certain common weeds which
have given the agriculturists a
great deal of trouble.
It is estimated by the station of
ficials that weeds cause the loss of
undreds of thousands of dollars
annually to the farmers of Minne
sota. These unwelcome intruders
not only make it more expensive
grow crops, bat they draw
heavily upon the moisture and fer
tility of the soil, and last, but not
least, tbey reduce very materially
the market value of the crop.
The reports of the state grain in
spection department are quoted to
show that for two years the aver-.
age' dockage of wheat at the ele
vators is about 19 ounces per bush
el. This dockvre is largely due to
weeds.
As tbe annual wheat crop of
Minnesota is about 20j,000,000
bushels, a dockage of one pound
per bushel means a loss of 200,-
000,000 pounds per year. The es
timate of the grain inspection de
partment would make it more
than that.
Had the land been free of weeds,
says the bulletin, the same amount
of plant food, moisture and labor
would have produced over 3,000,-
000 bushels of wheat, or the
equivalent in other grains. On
this basis, weed 6 cost the Minne
sota farmers about $2,500,000 an
nually, or an annual rent of about
30 cents on every acre seeded to
small grain. If to thin is added
the cost of fighting weeds, the loss
of fertility and moisture, strain on
machinery, extra cost of twine to
tie up the weeds, freight charges
for shipping weed seeds, etc.. the
loss is increased enormously, and
the business man who would keep
out of the bankruptcy court must
figure cost of production and mark
eting down to the smallest item in
just this manner.
The average dockage, however,
does not fully cover tbe matter of
loss. The bulletin cites one in
stance in which the farmer was
docked 23 pounds to the bushel,
and another was docked 19 pounds
to the bushel, both of them because
of wild oats in their grains. This
is a heavier tax than any business
can stand and prosper.
The bulletin describes the vari
ous common weeds, which are di
vided into three classes, annual,
biennial and perennial, and then
gives various methods of eradicat
ing them. But nothing is so effec
tive as a proper rotation of crops.
system which provides for one
or more years in cultivated crops
and one or more grass crops on
each field in five to seven years
will clear the fields of most weeds,
n crease the net income per acre
and tend to increase the fertility ot
the soil.
Continuous growing of small
grains in one held means weedy
land; diversified farming means a
disappearance of the weeds, less
won and more prosperity for the
farmer.
J. C Hannan Killed.
A runaway team on the Harvey
ranch at Summer Lake last Satur
day afternoon caused the death of
John C. Hannan of Paisley. He
and Rilew Hammersley were en
gaged in running mowing ma
chines and Hammersley's team be
came unmanagable and got away
from him. He shouted to Han
nan but was not heard above the
rattle of the machinery. His team
ran into Hannon knocking him off
ot the mower and trampling on his
body. When picked up by the
men in the field he remarked that
he was done for and died at nine
o'clock that evening, although but
two bruised spots were found upon
his person. Funeral services were
held the next day and his remains
laid at rest in the Paisley ceme
tery. Deceased was a well respected
citizen of Lake county, having
lived in the county many years.
He was several years road super
visor in the Paisley district. He
was born in Douglas county about
65 years ago and was one of the
first white boys born in Oregou.-
Central Oregonian.
