Helped Build the Locks.
D. Harms and John Harms, prosper
ous farmers of the Macksburg coun
try, were in Oregon City Thursday
afternoon, paying their taxes. The
former gentleman has a farm of 120
acres and John Harms has a farm con
taining 80 acres, and are among the
best in that part of Clackamas County,
D. Harms preceding his brother, John,
the latter being an old sailor, and are
among the old settlers of Oregon. On
their arrival In the early days, they
came to Oregon City and helped to
build the Oregon City locks. In speak
ing of the building of the locks, the
men say that a boat was used to
bring the rock from Baker Ferry
bridge, about eight miles up the Clack
amas River, and It took three days
to go up the Clackamas, owing to the
swift current, and only one day to
come down. The boat was a side

Jolm Harms was Die cook on board.
They tell many Interesting and thrill
ing experiences during the early days
In Oregon. The population of Oregon
City was very small at that time, and
tun Willamette River abounded with
salmon, and it was while these men
were crossing to their work in a boat
one morning they were taken by sur
prise when a 20-pound salmon Jumped
into their boat. Both men were so
overcome that before they could re
cover their senses the fish had taken
another leap into the river. Many fish
were killed with dynamite and the
waters would be covered with the fine
Chinook salmon. After the construc
tion of the locks the men purchased
property and started into farming,
where they have tolled faithfully and
their hard work has been rewarded.
FARM NOTES
An Illinois poultry breeder has
evolved a rooster with four wings.
The odd pair grew out immediately
in front of the regular ones and point
in the opposite direction. Here we
have a combination that may work
to advantage. This rooster can fly
either way at will. Poised, like a
"snake doctor," or dragon flyr-if dan
ger approaches, he may dart in the
direction where safety lies. If such
a breed can be enlarged and perpetu
ated there will be other advantages.
There will be four wings apiece to be
divided at the table instead of the
regulation two, and, of course, such a
bird will produce more feathers. All
hail the four-winged fowls.
A farmer of Greene County, Indi
ana, came into Linton the other day
proudly driving a flock of 800 turkeys.
And still they insisted that turkeys
were scarce.
Never leave primings of trees and
tushes lying around. Burn them in
the garden fire, and you will know
then that all the insects upon them
are destroyed. The wood ash, too, is
an excellent fertilizer for every crop
grown, but especially useful for toma
toes and all fruits.
The soil is the farmer's capital, and
he can only keep that capital unim
paired by adding fertility to it. As
the fertility increases, his capital de
creases and becomes impaired. Plants
and animals are his stock in trade by
having the best plants and animals.
He can only beat the other fellow in
the competition of trade and some
thing that people want and are willing
to pay a good price for, because it is
a good article. The more fertile his
soil, the cheaper he can produce the
articles which the people want.
The, air penetrates as deep as we
plow. The deeper we plow the more
plant food Is prepared by the action
of the air and more moisture is car
ried in the soil to withstand droughts.
Deep fall plowing, then, is a great aid
in breaking up the compounds of the
soil, in preparing plant food, in stor
ing moisture and in warming the soil
for early planting.
The man in town thinks of some
day moving to a farm, while the farm
er's ambition is to live in the city. Yet
these men rarely exchange places. It
Is simply a manifestation of unrest
that doesn't do much harm.
The tax upon a sow that Is suckling
a litter of pigs is so great that it is
poor economy to practice anything
but a liberal and judicious system of
feeding.
A carload of steers with uniform
style, size and markings will outsell
a mixed lot. It is the same with hogs
a carload of even, good-quartered,
compact, well-arched, broad-backed,
deep-bodied hogs will outsell any
mixed mess of the descendants of the
cross-bred scrubs.
Soft coal may take the place oi cnar
or,ni w niri hnes. hut it tends to clog
up the intestines of the small pigs
and make them sore, if tne nogs are
not accustomed to soft coal, do .not
fpert them ton much at a time. It is
a fine thing for hogs, but it does not
quite supply the place of either wood
or log charcoal in tne nog yarus.
A Denver paper tells about two
nei&hbors up In the Divide country,
Colorado, who each sold a carload of
steers to the same buyer on the Den
ver market. The first carload were
grade Shorthorns, the get of good
dams and registered bulls. They were
long yearlings and netted ?30.85 per
head. The other carload belonging
to the neighbor living across the way
vear-olds and were the prog
eny of just cows and most any kind
of bulls that were cneap ana nau
horns. They netted $19.85 a head.
The growing popularity of Oxford
Down rams with Scotch flockmasters
who use them for the production of
early maturing cross-bred lambs, is
one of the most notable features gf
the past few years in sheep breeding,
and the development of this northern
market has had a wonderful effect in
stimulating and Improving the position
of the breed in its native district, says
an English journal.
Figures recently obtained show that
the unsold supply of hops in the North
Yakima district is 2530 bales of 1907
and 2409 bales of old in the hands of
growers. About 5000 bales of all kinds
are In Western Washington.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not
a quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular pre
scription. It is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients to
what produces such wonderful results

stomach, liver and kidney disorders
in a prompt and efficient manner and

A Lazy liver
May be only a tired liver, or a starred
liver. It would be a stupid as wall as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he lagged in his work. So
In treating the lagging, torpid liver It If
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvelous cures of "liver
trouble" by Its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
Increases the secretions of the blood-making
glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens Imposed upon It by
the defection of other organs.

So many people think of this spray
ing business a good deal as we used to
think of our studies at school. If we
could slide through any old way, with
out working, we were beating the
teacher just that much. And, in a meas
ure, this is true with many people
about spraying.
They spray because they must be
cause the fruit Inspector might raise
a row if they didn't. But, after all, If
the right material Is used, it is not an
expense; on. the contrary, every one
nearly who has carefully watched the
results, find In the end they have saved
money by the large Increase in fruit as
a result of proper spraying. But to
get the right material, that's the rub.
Probably no concern today makes such
a fine calcium sulphide solution as the
Rex Co. Their spray Is endorsed by
the U. S. Givernment, and our own
State entomologist says In a letter to
the Rex people that their spray "gave
better results than the home-made
lime-sulphur or the lime-sulphur and
salt spray Oregon formula with
which it was compared." We have
Rex booklets giving the experience of
fruitgrowers all over the Coast, and
anyone interested may have one for
the asking.
For those customers who want Rex
spray, we have It in bulk, any quanti
ty, at 40c per gallon. We also have
Portland spray at 30c per gallon, and
if you MUST make your own, let us
sell you the sulphur, lime and blue
stone. If not convenient for you to
call for a spraying booklet, we will
gladly mail you one on receipt of a
postcard with your address.
