"The Lone Hickory Farm."
Mrs. J. B. Allen Cone called in the
Courier office Saturday afternoon, and
slated that they have named their
fine 64 acre farm at Maple Lane,
"Lone Hickory," as thare is a large
hickory tree growing on that place,
the only one in that section. They
have 33 acres of their place in cul
tivation, and raise vegetables, oats,
wneat and berries. Recently Secre
tary S. P. Davis, of the Publicity
Department of the Commercial Club
took photographs of the wheat on
Lone Hickory" farm for use In adevr-
tlsing the resources of old Clackamas.

THE SHEEP KILLING DOG.
Get some loud sounding bells and
put them on the sheep, one for every
twenty five head. This will not keep
away every dog, but it will scare out
many of them. The average sheep
killer dreads publicity, and any noise
that will attract attention to his move
ments will cause him to leave the
farm.
When the dog that is not afraid of
sheep bells comes along, if any of
the people are at home and wake
the bells will be heard and the sheep
rescued.
To safeguard against the attacks
at night, and when all are away from
home, surround one permanent pas
ture with a woven wire fence, and
make a gate of the same material, or
of high pickets, so that no dog can
get into that field. Put the sheep in
that lot at night and whenever there
is no one to hear the bells and to pro
tect the sheep. To find whether your
pasture is dog-proof or not, borrow
some dogs of assorted sizes and breed
and shut them into the field. If they
cannot get out, dogs cannot get in.
Of course the fence must fit tight to
the ground . If It is not high enough
to prevent jumping over, stretch a
wire or two above. But few dogs
will cross a fence of ordinary height
unless there is something on top to
rest their feet upon while In the
act. A fine wire will throw them
back.
If you think it necessary to keep
your sheep in more than one flock,
you will need such a corral for each
band. The size of the enclosure will
depend on your own judgment and
the lay of land. It would not be
a mistake to fence your entire pasture
in this way, as the cost would exceed
but little the usual cost of a good
wire fence. It would also aid much
In preventing hunting and trespassing
upon your premises.
Hut If fencing against dogs does not
appeal to you, put up notices along
your line fences and roads that all
dogs entering your fields without per
mission will be shot or poisoned. Then
get ready to execute accordingly.
Goats and Horned Dorsets may af
ford some protection against small
dogs, but It would bo impossible for
them to protect a flock against an
attack from two or more largo, sav
ago and swift sheep-killers. Indiana

BRAN AND OATS.
There are several right ways or
feeding cows, and as ninny wrong
ways. Good bran I consider un ex
cellent feed for cows, as well as for
all other kinds of livestock, yet there
are dairymen who claim that bran Is
the poorest feed they ever gave a
cow.
There Is a great difference in bran.
Too many feed their cows, as well as
other stock, at random that is, with
out regiad to the Quality of food and
without regard to the requirements of
the animal hence many of us feed
too much. I never bad any trouble
from feeding too much bran.
Oats aro one of my best and most
useful feeds. I like to feed them un
tlireshed, or in the bundlo or shear.
Some think It a wasteful method to
feed oats in this way, but If they are
harvested whllo yet a llltlo green and
are properly taken euro of, the cows
will eat them with relish. The first
thing the cow gets bold of is the
heads, and after eating those they will
linlsh up tho rest, so there will be no
more waste than with any other food.
I have soon them fed to horses In
this shape, too, with excellent, results,
ami I always aim to have some ouls
In the bundlo for the hens In winter.
They are n line egg-producer, anil

keeping the liens busy getting the

A liberal quantity crown at

reach of every farmer. Grown on a
larger scute, the small fruits are
among the most profitable crops that
the farm will produce.
The best liked and most widely dis
tributed small fruit is the strawberry.
The best soil for the stru wherry bod
is a sandy loam. Strawberries do bet
ter on light soils, and the berries are
larger and of better quality. If you
have no light soil that can be used

drained, In order that it may warm
up quickly in the spring Instead of
remaining soggy fur several weeks and
then baking bard, ns midralned soils
are so liable to do.
Deep plowing, with thorough disk
ing and harrowing, Is necessary la or
der to get the land Into the best con
dition. Strawberries should follow
some cultivated crop which lias been
kept free from weeds. It will then
be easier to prepare the seed bed, aud
the patch will be freer from weeds and
insects. Strawberries are particular
In their soli requirements, and a little
care In preparation will add greatly
to the Blv.e of the crop. Too little at
tention is given to this roost Important
requisite. Many persons do not seem
to be aware that the strawberry Is at
all particular abmit the soil In which
it is put. As a ci iMiueuee they pre
pare their beds wu limit any reference
to this essential factor in the success
of their enterprise ami, of course, are
doomed to disappointment In the out
come. Varieties of Strawberries.
Varieties of strawberries arc divided
into two general types the perfect and
the imperfect flowered. The imperfect
contain only the female organs or pis
tils, whllo the perfect sorts contain
both stamens and plsills. The imper
fect varieties can produce no fruit un
less fertilized with the pollen from the
flower of a perfect variety. It Is very
important that attention be paid to
this point In planting. Many of the
Imperfect sorts possess points of supe
riority over the perfect varieties. They
can be successfully grown by planting
every fifth row to a perfect flowered
variety. This row will furnish pollen
for the two rows ou either side of It.
In setting out a bed In (his way care
must be takeu to see that the two va
rieties come Into bloom at the same
time.
Perfect and imperfect varieties can
not be .told apart except when in
bloom. Then the absence of the row
of pistils around the petals marks the
Imperfect sorts. Lists of varieties of
strawberries always specify whether
they arc perfect or Imperfect. A reli
able nurseryman can be depended upon
to give you what you ask fur. A list
of the varieties best adapted to your
locality can be obtained from your ex
periment station.
The strawberry Is propagated almost
eutlrely by runners. At each Joint in
the runner a new plant appears and
takes rout. Only plants less than a
year old should be selected for plant
ing. The crown should not be too
large and the roots thick and long.
The presence of large woody roots
and a heavy crown Indicates that the
plant Is an old one. If there are many
leaves It Is well to pinch off one or
two of the largest to correspond to
the injury to the root system.
Planting Strawberries.
Spring 'planting Is the most reliable,
but where the fall Is moist or the
patch can be readily watered fall planting-

Hills Versus Matted Rows. j
Strawberries are grown both In hills
and In rows. In the hill system the ,
plants are set about three feet apart.

make a conipai t, vigorous hill. The

led row system gives larger yields, la
this the plants me set from ten to
twelve inches apart In rows four feet
apart. The runners are trimmed to
make a matted rpw about two feei
wide. The spaces between the rows
should be kept well cultivated during
the early part of the season and the
weeds pulled in the rows. After the
second year the runners can be allow
ed to Gil these open spaces and the
original rows plowed up. In this way
the bed can be easily renewed and kept
bearing for several years, usually untU
the land becomes so weedy that It
must be plowed up and put In to some
other crop.
In cold climates the strawberries
must be given some sort of winter
protection. .The object of this Is not so
much to prevent freezing as to keep
the ground from that alternate freez
ing and thawing which cause heaving
of the plants. A mulch of coarse horse
manure applied after the ground freezes
Is excellent for this purpose, as It adds
fertility at the same time. In the
spring the straw can be raked up and
removed. One necessary precaution Is
to Be sure that the manure Is free
from weed seeds. I have seen straw
berry beds ruined because the mulch
contained timothy hay In which the
seeds were ripe enough to grow.
Raspberries and Blackberries.
Next to strawberries in Importance
are raspberries and blackberries The
best soil for blackberries Js about like
that for strawberries, wli'le for rasp
berries it may be a little heavier. The
two kinds of raspberries most exten
sively grown in this country are red
and black. The red raspberry Is propa
gated by shoots which grow up from
the roots. One-year-old shoots are
preferable for planting. The rows
should be at least four feet apart, with
the plants two feet apart in the row.
Frequent and thorough cultivation is
necessary to keep down the suckers
which grow up from the roots. It Is a
good plan toplow the ground between
inn rows every spring.
Black raspberries' do not send up root
shoots. They are propagated by bury
ing the tips f the shoots In the ground
some time in Augt. These take root
and produce new plants, which can be
transplanted the following spring. The
black raspberries are more rank in
their habits of growth and should be
planted farther apart than the red-varieties.
Planting every three feet in
rows seven to eight feet apart is a
good distance. They should receive
thorough cultivation In the same man
ner as the red sorts.
The application of a coat of manure
between the rows In the fall will ma
terially increase the yield of all small
fruits. Pruning is also Important
Blackberry and raspberry shoots bear
but once, so in the spring all those
which produced fruit the season be
fore should be cut out. Black rasp
berry shoots should have the tip nip
ped off when they are about eighteen
inches high. This causes lateral
branches to form and greatly Increases
the yield. The same treatment should
be given to blackberries. After about
four good crops of raspberries have
been secured the patch should be plow
ed up and a new one started some
where else.
Blackberries are usually propagated
by suckers. The distance apart is
about four feet in the row. with rows
seven feet apart. The proper depth to
set the plants is about four inches. It
is a common practice to plant a row of
potatoes or some other vegetable be
tween tho blackberry rows tho first
season. This cau also be done with
black raspberries. About four or five
blackberry shoots are all that should
be allowed to grow up the first sea
son. After that the number may be
gradually increased. A well establish
ed blackberry patch will last six or
seven years. The yields that may be
secured depend largely upon the fre-

quency of rainfall during the ripening
season, a little dry weather at this
llnic will result In shriveled, worth
less berries. ,
In sections where the winter is se
vere the best results cannot be ob
tained from raspberries and blackber
ries unless some sort of protection is
given. The simplest method of doing
this Is by bending the -canes down
along the row ami covering them with
dirt.
Currants and Gooseberries.
A clayey loam soil, with plenty of
moisture, Is best for currants and
gooseberries, They do all the better
for a little shade and are not so par
ticular about cultivation as the other
small fruiis. A heavy mulch of straw
or coarse manure may be used to beep
down tho weeds and conserve mois
ture and cultivation dispensed with
i Nit itvh
A few bushes set along a fence row
will turnish enough of this kind of
fruit for the family. They are propa
gated by cuttings, pieces of branches
which are planted In moist earth,
vTiere they take root. Two-year-old
plants are best for planting. Being
hardier than the other small fruits,
currants n:id gooseberries will stand

20 REPUBLICANS OPPOSE
Payne Predicts (Tiaos if Bill Is De
feated Clark Says Revision
Is Ueully I'pward.
Washington, D. C. The House
Saturday adopted the conference re
port on the tariff bill, 195 to 183.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the report and two Democrats for it.
The entire Pacific Northwest delega
tion, except Polndexter, of Washing
ton, voted for the bill.
Mann of Illinois, In a Bensatlonal
speech said he would vote against
the report unless the rates on pulp
and print paper as reduced by the
house were retained. He declared
that Canada would take such action
regarding pulp wood and print paper
as to place an almost prohibitory
price upon paper in this country.
. Payne appealed to his Republican
colleagues to stand by the bill, say
ing that if they wanted to drive their
party into chaos they could vote
against it. But he said it would be
a delusion to vote against the bill
upon the idea that the Dingley rates
would be. continued.
Payne estimates that the increase
of revenue that would result from
the enactment of the bill will be
$40,000,000 annually.
Average Rate Higher.
Champ Clark, the Democratic
leader, said President Taft had been
imposed on by being made to believe
that the conference report was really
a revision downward. Clark sub
mitted a table showing that the av
erage rate of the report is 1.73 per
cent higher than the average rate
of the Dingley law. If scores of new
items in the report, but not in the
Dingley law, were added,1 Clark said,
the average increase would be at
least 2 per cent.
Legislation was held up Monday
by the hide and leather question, and
the conferees were called together.
Western Senators complained that
the leather schedule, as arranged by
the conferees with the approval of
the President, is unfair to the states
Interested in protected hides. The
Westerners say they had been led to
believe that all boots and shoes of
leather were to be dutiable at 10
per cent, and that all harness was to
be dutiable at 20 per cent. When
the conference report was read, it
appeared that the reductions applied
only to articles manufactured in
chief part of the class of which hides
were to be made free sf duty.
Senator Borah, with Senator
Brown of Kansas, had an hour's con
ference with the President Monday
night, and when they left they car
ried with them Mr. Taft's promise
that a concurrent resolution would
be passed by both houses eliminat
ing the "joker" from the shoe and
leather schedule and that the duty
on shoes and other manufactured
leather goods would be redhced in
accordance with the prevailing un
derstanding of what had been done
by the conference committee.
