The greatest season of the year is at
Iinnn and everywhere the hustle ana
bustle of life and activity that goes
with the soa'on is apparent, merry
faces of the little ones an they aro
gazing at the many pretty gifts in the
shop windows, witli witsful, liiiKor
i n K eyes, the nlu-erful smile of father
and mother as they go to and fro
laden with gifts for each member of
the family, the expectant eye of eBch
passerby, as he miitfg the approaching
season. It is all vlad Chnstmastirie
Once a year by the giving of gifts
which make the recipients happy, we
commemorate the birth of Christ,.
With the older ones the season loses
its charm, from the bouso of giving
and receiving; the more act of giving
of the present does not signify to
them what it did when young, bat
there conies to all at this time another
and greater thought that this day
should bo filled with glad tidings
that Christ was boru into the world,
tho Savior ot mankind, whose birth
we are now colohrating.
The little tots have been anxious for
these many weeks, hardly able to wait
for the evontful day, their little
. minds centered on tho one thought
the presents they were to receive.
Christmas brings great cheer
throughout tho land, hearts aro glad
dened and homes that know no choer
for the your are made bright and
happy. It means mnch to the little
ones from tnoir viewpoint, and it
should mean much more to tho older
ones. Let all rdjoice.
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATIONS
In the December issue of tho Pacific
UriTnue Bulletin appears the following
artielo :
"Kvory road district in Washington
should at once oruanisse a Good Roads
Association Announce a moating at
some central point; meet and orguuizu
by electiug a president, secretary,
treasurer and a vice president tor
each precinct exoent tho throe repre
sented by the above oflluers. Also
nominate two or three men for super
visor for your road district, for the
state law , provides that tho county
commissioners must nppoiut one of
the uieu yu nominate, tieel Do it
at once."
This roprint refers to conditions iu
Washington. There is no reason why
it could not bo used with tho greatest
success throughout Oregon, mid es
pecially throughout Clackamas coun
ty, ft great many sections of tho
state have organized good roads as
sociations, aud theso sections are now
enjoying the lienelits derived from
their efforts to bettor the condition of
their highways. It, is needless to sav
that the county olllcials will woik all
the harder if they think that their
eofl'rts aro appreoiiitetl. Olten they
are made aware ot tno fact thai a cer
tain pieco of road is in a boor condi
tion, hut thpy hear no more about it,
and tho mutter escapes their mind.
It is hero that the good roads orp:' n
izatiou accomplishes much bv con
stantly keeping the fact that tho road
is in poor connitioii before the com
missioners, and having a good sbiiro
of the membership at, tho meeting of
the county court will make tiieir
presence felt, and thus bring about
the needed improvement in the short
est possible timo.
over by the secretary of state, the
premier, is really the smallest in
official and clerical personnel of all
the departments of the government
and is considered the most des rable
as tar as clerkships aro concerned, of
nil the government departments
Those who occupy desks in this de
partment assume the airs peculiar to
dilettante statesmanship aud diplo
macy and imagine that they are in a
class above the employees of the pen
sion office, jjostotlice department and
all other government offices. ; Secre
tary Root, who effected a lemarkable
change in the war department during
the time that he was secretary of
war. and who is depended upon to
effect a similar change in the navy
department, lias told congress that a
change in the state department is in
dispensable, enlarging its clerical
force and adapting it to our greater
and broader duties ns a world power,
lifiing it out of tho management of
merely quasi diplomtio ami consular
affairs.
Cabinet making in Washington is
all the rano. Almost every follow has
a slate and there will probably bo
some surprises when the names of cab
inet officers aro published for the first
time, after tho fourth of March.
Senator Knox, of Ponnslvania, has
been much talked of to succeed Elibo
Root as sooretary of state There is
not tho slightest probability that be
will bo iuvitud or would accept if he
should be invited. lie is a good law
yer and a fair politician, but tho man
capable of . filling the chair of the
present secretary will not be easily
tound.
During tho present week it is ex
pected that both houses of congress in
Washington will condudo the auto
holiday work and arijonrn until after
New Years.

Beware ol Frequent Colds.
A succession of colds or a protract
ed oold is almost certain to end in
chronic catirrh. from which few pre
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention it deserves and you
may avoid this disngreeanlo disease.
How can you euro n cold'' Why not
try Chamberlain's Cough Romdy? It
is highly roeoinmeuded. Mrs. M.
Whilo, of Iiutlor, Telia., says: "Sev

my throat ami lungs. Someone told
me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Tho secretary of agrieulturo has

tiecomp uiioil it with an essay that
may bo in tho future of a valedictory.
Secretary Wilson is the Ncslor of the
cabinet anil lie has hold his present
olheo longer than any of his .prede
cessors and for a term eoverina u won
derfully progressive era of larm and
crop improvement, lie shows that
within ten years the wealth produc
tion of the farms of tho country has
been Rroater than sixty billions of
dollars. ily another statement he
shows that tho value of farm products
in I Will, tho census year, beiiiK taken
at 100 the value iu llltlit is 125; for
I'.IOI, 181 j for lllOj, l;i4; for MM, 143;
for 11)07, 151); an I for 11)08, 105. Tho
value of tho corn crop almost stampers
credulity. The quantity is 3,(1-111,00(1,.
000 bmhcls, valued at ljI,Uir,0()0,0(0.
There are other statistics showing a
railing off in tho revenues of the gov
ernment that to the reflective mind
i. . . i i . i
huoiiHi prouuoo as inucii optimism as
tho big corn or rye crop. The com
missioner of tho internal revenue
bureau, in his annual report, states
that for the last year, there vyis a de
crease iu receipts of if 1H. 000,000, in
round numbers, us compared with the
previous year, anil this decrease comes
from tho smaller manufacture and
sale of spirituous liquors. -The de
crease iu gallons taxed, as compared
with last year, is estimated at forty
millions. Too commissioner accounts
for this by the prohibit ion movement,
tho high price of corn, and the agree
ment among distillcis to curtail production.

DRY FARMING
The above subject has nothing to do
witli prohibition. It has reference to
cultivating the soil o as to conserve
the moisture of the spring raius to
preserve it for the dry mouths ot the
summer. Those readers who attended
tho Gresham fair last fall and saw the
Gill Bros ' exhibit will reuiemher
what the results of dry farming are.
Nearly all farmers have heard of
the Campbell dry tur ning svBtoui as
used in Colorado aud other arid
countries But have they ever tried
to adapt this system to the conditions
existing in the Willuinotte valley?
My father evolved thin svstem iu 18S'.
years before Campbell auuounced his
systeuij
As pro ,i:ted by my ratiier una my
brother, it consists in plowing the
ground twice, the first time ill March
r April and again in May or June
according to the crop. It cannot be
applied to grain crops or early crops,
but to tutor suuinier or full crops.
Late potatoes, cabbage cauliflower,
pumpkins, squashes, melons, celory,
carrots, beets ano summer grovn veg
etable are moat successfully grown ill
this miinner.
Tho first plowing should bo done in
March or April. It ought, to bo nina
or ten inches deop, nulesn the land
has been continually plowed shallow
er, iu which casi it should be plowcai
an inch deeper than the previous
plowing. If the soil is sundr this
precaution is not necessary. Immedi
ately aftor the plowing the ground
should be harrowed twice, first in the
suuio direction the plow traveled and
tho second time aoioss the furrows. i
For plant ug squashes, melons,
pumpkins, cucombers, beans or corn, '
plow thu second time as soon as the
danger of frosts is over, laying the
laud off opposite to the original IhihI
go as to cut across the fntrows of the
tirtst plowing. If the ground is in 1
good condition two harroivings this
time will sntlicifiitly pulverize Mhe '
soil. I3ut of this the farmer must bo 1
his own judge I
This Socond plowing should never
be deterred till ihe moisture is dried
out of the soil. It ought to bu fin
ished for all purposes by June 15th. '
Lato potatoes should be planted be-1
tweou the loth ot June and the 1st o'
Julv. Cauliflower ami cabbage for
the fall mid winter crop should be
planted from the 20th of Juno to Au
gust IStli nccording to variety. My
brothers have grown exuelbnt crops
of carrots and beets from seed sown
as lute as the first of June.
Afier the crops are planted, the cul
tivator should be used freely. At
first uso a tive-tooth d cu tivator and
then as the seusou advances use the
harruw-tooihed cultivator. All culti
vation must be level. No hilling up
iu this method.
It is a purpose of a part of this cul
tivation to make two or three inches
of dust upon the surface of the soil,
the finer the better. This keeps the
mo sture from evaporating, and keeps
it for tho use of the plant. Make
dntt. It is the secret of success in
this method. Keep the soil level be
tween the rows. Mv brothers use a
dmg after the last cultivation that
jusD tits between the rows.
If a rain tomes (luring the growing
seasou, a trust will form ou top of the
dust. This must be brokeu or the
moisture of the soil will escape. The
cultivator must be set going immedi
ately afti r a ruin, that is as souu as
the soil is dry enough to work.
With tins svstem ot farming almost
as good oiops can be grown iu a dry,
hot summer as m a cool, raiuy sum
mer. IHirnw the last seveu years mj
brothers, Eild aud Hay, have bad this
experience. Ihe smallest crop of (hi
(utoes they have gtowo wss a little
more than bO sacks per avr aud the
average crop has been .5 sucks per
acre. The only fertilizer used was
land plaster at the rate of 100 pounds
to the acre.
To illustrate the difference between
the old method aud this method: A
rented 10 acres of land of B. He
plowed the ground once with the
braei ing plow, planted his potatoes
abnut the 1st of May and did not
make an effort to keep the ground
level. He harvested 40 sacks of
salable potatoes off the ten acres.
The next season my brothers rented
the same piece of ground, paying
$200. an i ere more for the rent. They
farmed by the method herein de
scribed, planting the potatoes after
the loth of June, and they harvested
000 sacks of salable potatoes
Lust year, following this method,
they raised cauliflower of the Best
Karly variety, one head of whioh
weigned 144 pounds. This year they
took i75 worth of prizes at the
Gresham fair. Their land is an up
land gravelly soil and is not nearly so
fertile us the lauds of the Columbia
slough, or as mauy acres of alluvial
soil in Clackamas cou ty.
I applied this method to a small
garden at Estucada Inst summer and
though I hail but little opportunity to
work it as I should have worked it,
still I had a good late gardon when
mauv others were dried up.
jr you hnvon t tried this adaption
of the Campbell svstem to the Will
amette valley, try the experiment on
a small piece of ground next summer.
If you mute no mistakes, you will be
surprised ut the results.
