BUILDINGS
TOO SMALL
A.-Y.-P. Livestock Entries
Larger Than Expected
New Structures Being Greeted to House
The Numbers of Prize Animals
Seattle, Sept. 17 Finding the first
br.ildiiigs crecfud for the livestock
show at the Alaska-Vulcoii Pacitle Ex
position, which will be held from
September 7 to October !), completely
inndotiuato to hamllo the enormous
number of animals which have been
entered, tho department of works at
tlia Exposition has found it necessary
to double tho size of the barns.
The new structure will he 120 foot
in lcimth by 50 toot in width, and it
will be completed in time fur the
opening of the live stock show on
September 27. The work is being
rusliud aud a large force of men is
now at work. In all a 1 S3 animals
have been entered by the two hundred
aud fifty lueedrs represented. This
stock is coming from practically every
state in the United Stales aud prov
ince of Canada. Many of tho breed
ers have i in ported the best foreign
stock to exhibit iu tho hopes of draw
ing down prizes with European ur.i
inals. Iu tho show there will be 2S8
Horses, 81M) cattle, 8J3 swine aud 873
sheep.
In the Horse division, as is usually
the case, tho Pcroheroii class leads iu
t he number of animals entered with
05. The largest single entry of
Porehorons is made by A. O. Kuby of
Portland, Ore., who will exhibit six
teen, while E. E. Kleinmeyer of Los
Angeles, CaL, is bringing 15 of the
same class from California. The
other entries iu this division run
from one to livo.
An electric motor is used in Sail
Francisco to haul sand for grading
purposes. With a drag and oable the
sand is scraped from the hills to till
t lie hollows.
The present output nf wheat in
Canada is 28S.000.ouo bushels annual
ly, n nil this with but 7 per cent of
her available wheat land r Mixed.
The fall months are the proper ones
in which to start i ' bulbous plants
for next year's gurd. ,i. The bed should
be made rich and mellow and the
bulbs set hi phice before the cold
weather comes on.
It Isn't the fish and game a fellow
jots when on a day's Jauut, but rather
the relaxation, exercise and fresh air,
that are of most value. lie may not
think so at the time, but the delusion
Is perfectly harmless.
1 If the gasoline engine. Is to be sta
tionary the best possible foundation
for It Is one of stonework or cement
laid deep enough to give needed sta
bility. Iron rods with large clamps
should ruu to tho bottom of the foun
dation and extend high enough so
that the base of the machine can be
anchored to them.
The tomato vines may be counted
on to produce fruit which In size will
be In an inverse ratio to theuumber
allowed to mature. The best aud most
perfect fruit Is produced where but
two or three stems are permitted to
carry fruit, the pruulug being done
gradually during the growing season.
However, where the vines have been
allowed to grow at will much can be
done to Increase the size of the fruit
set as well as to hasten maturity by
cutting off a good share of the grow
ing shoots with some kind of a sharp
knife.
A than who some years ago moved
Into a neighborhood where yellow mus
tafd was thicker in the fields than ball
on a dog's back writes a leading ag
ricultural paper that the way to get
rid of the pest Is first to clean the
seed grain and not sow mustard seed.
As a second precaution he recommends
plowing the fields as soon as the
shocks are off, which will germinate
the seed the same fall and prevent It
living through the winter. Lastly he
suggests keeping the roadsides and
fence corners clean. This program of
extermination would seein to be pret
ty good.
The forest service bureau has on ex
hibition a uunibcr of two inch sections
of several varieties of wood which
have been put through tests for
strength, and the showing which the
eucalyptus makes Is remarkable. The
sample of this wood broke down un
der an end strain of 43,200 pounds,
the fiber stress per square Inch being
13,580. In like blocks of oak and
hickory, generally supp'oscd to be the
strongest and toughest of our native
woods, the figures for the two strains
were respectively 17,000 pounds and
4,870 pouuds and 30,280 pounds and
8,800 pounds.
The writer recently bad opportunity
to put some questions to a civil en
gineer who has had charge of private
and government irrigation projects
In the Yakima valley. Among other
things, his opinion touching pumping
plants for Irrigation purposes where
the laud did not He right to receive
water from a gravity system was that
they were quite practicable and satis
factory and for a forty aero tract ought
not to exceed $800. He held that even
better results could be secured, Includ
ing greater economy In operation, If a
group of from three to six neighbors
were to uulto in the construction and
maintenance of such Irrigating plant.
The Courier oflloe i s in receipt of a
copy of "Well Irrrigation of Small
Farms In tho Willamette Valley,"
by H. M. ISroton, M. Inst.. C. E. of
Portland, iu which is given a great
deal of information valuable to own
ers of small farms, not only in the
Willamette valley; but the whole of
Westoru Oregon. There are articles
on the drainage area of the Willam
ette valley, aud on tho duty of water
per aero for toveral varieties of crosp.
Evaporation and seepage ot , water is
also treated, as is the artesian well,
its liistorry, and principles. A chap
ter is also devoted to the reclaiming of
alkali lands by the proper use of ir
rigaton. Elootrophit ism, which is
rapidly beooming loroinost among the
vegetable fertilizers is also treated on.

N. S. Williams, carpenter of DM

number of years ago the doctors told
me my kidneys were in a lhad shapo
I came west on account of t he trouble,
thinking the change of climate would
help me but such was not the case.
Nothing I did or Jtook gave me relief
and 1 was about discouraged. On

found them the bos t mjdiciuo I had
ever used. At the time 1 procured
them I was suffering from an inteuse
burning sensation as if two live coals
were gplaced directly over my kid
neys. The secretions from my kid
neys were also initial ii'nl in appear
auoe. After usiug two boxes of
Dean's Kidney Pills 1 did not have
tho least pain iu my back or trouble
with the kidneys. I give all the
