The Shaping of an Old Tree the Moat
Important Faotor.
Every man who owns an orchard of
any extent should be able to do his own
grafting. The most important factor
in the top grafting of an old free la the
shaping of the top. The old top Is to
be removed during three or four or five
years, and a new one Is to be grown In
Its place.' The original plan or shape
of the top will have to be followed In
the general outline. Bailey In bis prun

-It is advisable for the farmers who
are using potatoes for feed in prefer
ence to bringing them to market, ow
ing to the present prices, to use the
poor potatoes for the feed and reserve
the best ones for the market, as the
price of potatoes will probably ad
vance and there will anly be inferior
potatoes left for market, which, of
course, cannot bring a good price. At
present the market conditions give no
promise.
The farmers throughout the county
are losing no time during this clear
weather, and are busy plowing, harrow

Next Sunday afternoon, at Knapp's
Hall, Clackamas County Socialists
will hold a mass meeting. A speaker
from Portland will address the gath
ering. The Socialists have not yet
decided as to whether or not they will
place a full county ticket in the field,
and the matter will be taken up and
probably decided at this meeting. The
whole body of the party will likely be
appealed to In the matter of distribut
ing more evenly the financial burdens
of party organization. With the So
cialists the maintenance of organiza
tion is largely a work of personal sac
rifice, for all realize that there are no
political njums in reach. Heretofore
the work of keeping the party together
has fallen to a few, and If this is to
continue It is improbable that a full
ticket will enter the field this year.

Top grafting is performed in spring.
The best time is when the leaves are
pushing out, as wounds made then heal
quickly, and scions are most apt to live,
but when a large amount of grafting
must be done it Is necessary to begin
a month or two earlier. On the other
hand, the operation can be extended
until a nonth or more after the leaves

RAILROAD FROM CANBY.
Talk of a Line Extending Into East
ern Clackamas.
There Is a persistent report of a
railroad building into Eastern Clacka
mas County from Canby. The Even
ing Telegram prints the following from
its Canby correspondent:
An enterprise of great magnitude Is
being discussed by the people of Can
by and Molalla. The leading citizens
In the Molalla country are anxious to
unite with the people of Canby In
building a railroad from . this point
Into the Molalla country, and thence
to Dickie Prairie, one of the richest
farming sections in Oregon. D. L.
Trulllnger, a mill operator of Union
Mills, on the proposed line, points out
that a route could be chosen along
the Molalla River and Milk Creek.
These streams are practically parallel
all the way to Meadow Brook, and only
one shortb ridge across Milk Creek
would be necessary. The road would
have a water grade all the way to
Canby. It would serve the Macksburg,
Mulino, Meadow Brook, Highlands,
Molalla and Dickie Prairie countries
and open up a big area of choice lapd
to settlement which now lies dormant
for lack of transportation facilities.
There are four sawmills In operation
along the proposed route, and several
more would be built when the road is
completed. The very best agricultural
land In the country the road would
serve cannot get a market now at $10
an acre, and all this land contains tim
ber enough to pay for the land several
times.
James Adklns, D. L. Trulllnger, the
Howard Flouring Mill Company, the
Ajax Lumber Company, the Molalla
Lumber Company and numerous other
-.interests In that territory are anxious
to give the project all the aid possible.
The landowners have expressed a will
ingness to grant rights of way, and
the opportunity Is considered one of
the best in Oregon. Some of the tim
ber owners in this section, living in
other states, are wealthy, and It is be
lieved the project could be financed
with little difficulty.

W. W. Myers and W. H. Miller, who

carrying on a business of this kind
and as It is Mr. Myers' intention of

New School District Organized.
A new school district has been or
ganized at Salmon by the division of
the Welch school district, and there
are 17 children to start in to school
as soon as the school building can be
built, which will probably be done in
the Spring. The directors who were
chosen to serve are John Bucholtz,
John T. Mclntyre, J. A. O'Dell and
the clerk is L. E. Palmer.
The Pure Food Law. .
Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects of the law Is to Inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines." The
law requires that the amount of chlor
oform, opium, morphine, and other
habit-forming drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufac
turers of Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy have always claimed that their
remedy did not contain any of these
drugs, and the truth of this claim is
now fully proven ,as no mention of
them Is made on the label. This rem
edy is not only one of the safest, but
one of the best in use for coughs and
colds. Its value has been proven be
yond question during the many years
it has been in general UBe. For sale

Interest or do not give time enough to
understand what they are doing. In
dealing with a clayey soil a crust may
be prevented by sprinkling fine leaf
mold over the surface of the sowing or
some perfectly mixed compost of leaf
mold with old cow manure. This will
keep the surface friable and in fine con
dition, and the seeds will sprout freely,
Novices are apt to plant their seeds too
deeply, to literally bury them.
No seed can germinate without three
conditions namely, moisture, warmth
and air; hence if the ground Is too dry
the seed cannot swell and grow; sec
ondly, If the earth Is too cold only the
hardiest plants w)ll start; the more
tender-kinds must be left till the
weather and soli become warm If they
are to be sown In the open garden,
and, thirdly, the seed must have air
by being planted in a mellow,., porous
soil. In large nurseries some of the
gardeners are constantly employed In
making composts. Hugo heaps are
continually worked over and finely In
termixed until they become almost as
fine as flour. Nothing could be better
to start the seeds In and to cause suc
cessful growth afterward. Composts
cannot be made In a hurry. Pome
months at least are required to effect
a sufficient diffusion and intermixture
of all the parts.
E. E. Brodle Buys the Enterprise.
The Oregon City Enterprise this af
ternoon passed from the control of E.
C. Thomas, of Troy, O., to Edward
E. Brodle, a well known newspaper
man of this city, who will immediately
assume active management of the
property. ..
For Lawn Planting.
The black spruce (Picea nigra) is n
distinctive and attractive tree, a par
ticular variety of black spruce (dou-
metti) being one of the best for Inwn
planting, says a writer in Country
Gentleman. The black spruce Is not a
rapid grower, but this is no great dis
advantage, since its slirubllke form
makes It attractive while still small lu
size. This, In fact, Is one great ad
vantage In planting these trees they
give the effect and beuuty of shrubs
while growing up Into tree size, since
they are branched close to the ground
and have a rounded shape by pruning
and close branching, all of which
makes them available as features In
ornamental planting as soon as set.
It Does the Buslnese.
Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton,
Maine, says of Bucklin's Arnica Salve:
It does the business; I have used It

for chapped hands and it cured them.
Applied it to an old sore and it healed
it without leaving a scar behind." 25c
