ThU matter must not be reprinted with
out special permission.
A horse at work appreciates and la
benefited by a drink of cold water In
'warm weather just as much as bis
owner.
No one In the world works harder
than the farmer's wife. Because of
this fact she Is entitled to every con
venience possible for lightening and
simplifying her labors.
Little chicks should be given a
chance to scratch for their chick feed.
The exercise thus afforded tends to
keep them In good condition and in
sures their rapid growth. ,
The world's record for cotton picking
was broken the other day by Miss
Mary Montgomery of Stillwater, Okla.,
who gathered 700 pounds in one day.
This girl herself weighs 121 pounds.
She is a mighty active proposition.
At a recent London flower show one
exhibitor showed a practically black
tulip at least It seemed a solid black
at the distance of a few feet This is
floral product that flower specialists
have been striving for for a good many
years.
The hen that Is cooped up with a
brood of chicks should be let out fre
quently to dust and, if she is lousy fur
ther measures should be taken to re
lieve her and her chicks of the pests.
for they are sure to get them if she
has 'em.
To the writer there is a good deal of
- attraction in the old fashioned bluish
pink lilac. It is a homely color and the
fragrance is nothing much, but both
color and fragrance bring back the
memory of many happy boyhood days
when the lilac bushes were in bloom.
Not all the suckers in the country
are Just off the farm. This is shown
in the case of the Chicago resident
who the other day paid $230 in cash
for what he supposed was a device for
printing $2 bills as many of them as
he wanted. The country chap would
know better than that
If the geraniums get root bound it is
a good idea to take slips from them
and plant them in good rich soil in the
flower garden. By fall, under favor
able conditions, they should make
thrifty plants which will give an abmv
dance of bloom soon after they are pot
ted and returned to the house.
The writer has found no method so
- good for warding off crows as that
of killing two or three members of the
tribe and banging them up by the
hind legs at the top of a pole eight or
ten feet long. This kind of warning is
so suggestive that the birds take the
hint and keep at a safe distance.
It is questionable if one-half of the
eggs laid by mourning doves ever come
to batching time. This is due to the
fact that these birds are most inoffen
sive, put up with the attacks of other
birds and small animals without pro
test and build a most slovenly and
flimsy nest which is often wrecked by
the wind. .
The output of California's grape in
dustry is estimated to have a value of
$30,000,000 annually. Three hundred
and thirty thousand acres are devoted
to the growing of grapes, 50,000 acres
being table grape vines. 110,000 acres
raisin grapes and 170,000 wine grapes.
The total production of all kinds of
grapes is put at 000,000 tons annually.
' Of the poisonous plants found on the
western ranches the larkspur loco
weed causes the largest loss to stock
men. Cattle are the chief sufferers, as
sheep are not harmed by eating the
weed, while horses seldom touch it
The department of agriculture is put
ting forth such effort as it can to elim
Inate the danger from this and other
poisonous weeds.
A case came to the writer's attention
the other day where a hired man drop
ped the lines behind a four horse disk
ing outfit to chase a nearby gopher.
He did not get the gopher; but worse
than this, the horses ran away, and
one of them was so badly cut with the
sharp diska that it had to be shot The
instance as related seems to make
quite plain the wisdom of the old saw
that urged the doing or one tmng at
time and doing that thing well.
Large Area Thrown
Open for Settlement
Washington, June 20. Approxi
mately 584,000 acres of land in
California and Oregon have been
set aside by Secretary Lana of the
Interior Department, under the en
larged homestead act, it was an
nounced today. The designations
include nearly 300,000 acres in Cali
fornia and 2S4.000 acres in Oregon.
The area included under the en
larged homestead act lies in the dis
trict of Central Oregon south of
The Dalles and north of Burns.
Most of the land in Eastern Oregon
has already been designated under
the enlarged homestead act
Louis L. Sharp, chief of the
local field division of the United
States Land Office explains that
under the enlarged homestead law
the settlers may homestead 320
acres of land instead of the usual
160 acres. Those who have already
settled on 160 acres but have not
completed their title will be al
lowed to file on 160 additional ad
joining acres. Lana included unaer
the enlarged homestead law act
must be nonmineral, nontimbered
and nonirrigated, and must be
designated by the Secretary of the
Interior as such.
The opening of the 284,000 acres
in Oregon comes after a consider
able effort on the part of settlers in
the district opened. A much larger
area has been thrown open man
was expected. The reason it had
not been previously opened was be
cause its natural resources had not
been properly ascertained.
The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has recently issued in
structions that settlers and other
residents of a state are entitled to
procure timber to not exceed
value of $50 on the stump for their
own use each year, without the
necessity of securing a permit
However, it is required that any
person desiring to cut timber notify
the proper chief of field division of
their desire to do so before pro
ceeding with their cutting. Those
in Oregon, Washington and North
ern Idaho must apply to Mr. Sharp
at Portland.
The cutting of timber must be
confined to the mature trees, waste
and damage to young undergrowth
must be avoided, also the tops and
debris must be so disposed of as to
prevent the spread of forest fires,
also all of the timber cut must be
applied to the personal use of the
party cutting it.
