OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CltY. OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1917. The NEW EDISON Diamond Disc truly reproduces No group of words that could be written and here set down to describe to you the New Edison could tell so much as the one word EDISON. Just as a Whistler means an etching, just as a Rembrandt means a painting so an Edison "means perfection. Such a distinction is never an accident, never un deserqed. It is the result of the life study of the world's master inventor.

H Can Tell You Many Methods by Which Big Money May Be Made, and Hs Is Not Only Willing but Anxious to Give You This Information. "Scattered through my reports on agriculture, says Undo Sam, "are hundreds of Ideas for making money. I have heard of men who have Bpeut bugo sums in fitting out expeditious to recover covered or sunken, treasure. If they would only dig up the treasures that lie burled In the millions and mil. lions of pages that I huve written on soil improvement, on utilizing waste woods and stumpage, ou growing new, valuable fruits that even tiurbauk nev er dreamed of, ou preventing canned vegetables from spoiling and on con verting anything that grows Into a salable product! "If the farmers would only realize that if all the knowledge that I have gained and that I am ready to Impart free of charge, were to be applied by the farms of tho country the value of their crops would be Increased $10,000, 000 for each growing day In the year. "A fortune can be made lu this coun try by" growing such medicinal plants as belladonna, Japanese, mint (from which menthol Is obtained), digitalis (prescribed by physleans for heart trouble) and a hundred others. I am experlmeutlng with drug plants in Vir ginia, In Maryland and In the upper Mississippi valley, so that I know Just what the cost of production and mar keting should be. Why doesn't some one write to me about this? "Most of our red pepper and paprika is imported, lu a country with such a varied soli aud climate as ours why can't we raise our own red pepper? I asked myself that question some years ago. Now, I can indicate very clearly how paprika can be successfully grown here. Why not take the trouble to read my Department Bulletin No. 43 on the subject and find out whether it would not pay you to become a paprika grower? "Man alive, I could string the list of chances out until you would be weary of reading it. "Four years ago 1 began an investi gation to determine If there were not some way of making pure apple cider that would endure transportation with out tbe use of preservatives. I found that if the elder is frozen, crushed and whirled In a centrifugal- machine it can be concentrated for less than 20 cents a gallon and that the finished product can be transported to market without tho use of preservatives. One plant has been erected to make use of this success. Why are there riot more such plants? "I have chemically studied eggs which are unfit to eat, and I am con vinced that denatured egg yolk can be used In tanulng without Injuring leath er. Why am t not overwhelmed with an avalanche of- letters from tanners imploring me to tell them about my re sults? "Two years ago I began an investi gation of enameled cooking utensils In the bureau of chemistry.. ' I have cook ed all kinds of foods In enameled ware to discover what kind of enamel is least affected by the food and what kind is therefore the safest to use. The man who first conscientiously carries out in actual practice the scientific pro cedure that I have evolved ought to die rich. Who Is he? "I wonder who will be the first to take advantage of an Investigation that 'I am now conducting to determine why wagon and haystack covers mildew; who will learn from me how a book binders' leather can be made that will not deteriorate; who will introduce my economical methods of making potato starch; who will buy the waste yeast of breweries and convert It into a fat tennlng cattle food lu a way that I will explain; who will build a machine that I have designed for packing sardines In cans efllcfeutly and cheaply, and who will profit by the study of coffee roasting that I have made? "Where Is the Cortez who will con quer the south with my methods cf economically utilizing the long leaf yellow pine? Where are the Balboas and Piznrros whom 1 om ready to arm so that they may triumph in the an of paper making? "I must stop here simply to catch my breath and not because I could not re cite hundreds of business opportuni ties, hundreds of processes that I am ready to disclose to any American citi zen, whether he be a manufacturer or a farmer.

DULL AND SHARP SHOOTING PAINS Michigan Lady Suffered Such Paini In Back and Head, But Says Cardui Stopped These Bad Spells. Palmyra, Mich. Mrs. Chas. T. Ful ler, of this place, writes: "In 1911 I got run-down, ai I suffered great pain... with both dull and sharp shooting pains... also back and head. I was weak and could only drag around, and should have been in bed, for I really wasn't able to be up. At times I would have spells that would be so bad I'd have to go to bed, and suffered intensely... I decided to try Cardui, and saw a great improvement in less than a month's time. I used 7 or 8 bottles and was stronger... I got so much better that my strength returned and my work was easy for me. Cardui did me a world of good. It built me up in health and strength. I haven't had one of those bad spells since. I haven't had to take any more medicine since or have any doctors either and have been able to do my work right along ...I recommend it to other women highly as the best medicine I know of for women who suffer from female trouble." If you suffer from female troubles, follow this advice. Get a bottle of Cardui today and give it a thorough trial. It should help you, as it has helped thousands of other women in the past 40 years.

One fundamental characteristic of a leguminous crop is the presence on the roots of nodules or tubercles which are infested by bacteria. Those bac teria are essential both to the success ful growth of the plant and to its value as a feed and as a green manure crop. They enter the plant from the soil, and it is -obvious therefore that if tho soil does not contain them in the first place the crop will prove a failure. If a leguminous crop is grown for the first time in a field It is probable that nodule forming material of the right kind will not be present. They must be supplied therefore by urtlfleiiil means. This process Is called inocu lating the soil. One practical and effective method of Inoculation Is to transport soil from a field where it is known thut the needed bacteria exists. Soil from fields of al. falfn. sweet clover and bur clover will Inoculate a field for any of these three crops. Soil from red alslko, crimson and white clover is also interchange SJflratfSi'-:. f rT BED CLOVER PLANT. able, and this is true, too, of the vetch es and field peas. Cowpeas and soy beans, however, each require their own particular brand of bacteria. Soli intended for tho purpose of in oculation Should be free from obnoxious weeds. It should be takeu from the first five or six inches of tho surface and spread at the rate of 200 to 400 pounds per acre on the field to be inocu lated. As tho bacteria are killed by strong sunlight, the transported soil should be spread in cloudy weather, early morning or late afternoon, nnd harrowed soon after. Where inoculat ing soil is scarce it is possible to save In its use by the ndoption of what is known as the gluo method. A thin mixture of chipped glue and water is sprinkled over tho seed nt the rote of about a quart of the liquid to a bushel. Then a sufficient quantity of dry, In oculnted soil Is mixed with the seed to make it dry enough to sow well. In this way tho seed is coated with inocu lated soil and carries this soil with it when it is placed In the field. Still another method is Inoculation by means of liquid cultures. A limited supply of these may bo secured free upon application to the United States department of agriculture. Many of the state experiment stations also supply these cultures. Commercial firms also sell them. Directions for tho use of these cultures accompany all shipments. SHEEP INJURE TREES. Animals Should Not Be Pastured In Small Orchards, "Don't pusturo the sheep in the or chard unless you have such lurge areas to feed over that no damage will be done to tho trees," Is tho advice of Albert Dickens, professor of horticul ture in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Sheep are good feeders and will clean up a weedy orchard or, uny oth er patch of brush laud in a short time, but the great danger comes in feeding sheep in a small orchard. Too mnny men believe that tttey can pasture any number of sheep in a small orchard without injury, The animals, however, will eat off the leaves, llmlllng the fruit buds for tho next year, nnd will tramp the ground, destroying tilth of the soil nnd slowing up growth and productiveness of the trees. Some men have had success with feeding sheep in their orchards, but their conditions are different, as they have large orchards of 000 acres or more. The danger of injury to the trees Is thus considerably lessened by the large areas which tho sheep have to feed over. Tho best plan Is to keep the sheep out of tho orchard nnd let them clean up other weedy places of tho farm. Save Poultry Manure. U is particularly Important to tuke care of tho poultry droppings. They should be collected frequently and kept so that (here will be no loss of am monia. An excellent plan iH to deposit the droppings in a barrel, rind when the barrel is full cover lhe manure with a thin layer of acid phosphate. The phosphate, may also be sprinkled over thu droppings under the roosts. Ulsky Registers Felix Ulsky, who lives near Wil lamette, registered for the draft Friday. Ulsky had been told by friends that since he would be above the age limit before the first call, he did not have to register, but when the district attorney's office advised him differently ho prompt ly registered. There is said to have been no intention to evade the op eration of the draft law.

A carelessly thrown cigar is believed to have started the fire. Fire broke out about 3:30 in the morning. The Gresham fire depart ment was immediately called, but before it arrived, an hour later, the fire had spread to the Catholic church, adjoining. The ehurch burn ed to the ground. The real estate office of H. S. Eddy and the hardware store of W. J. Wirtz in the Shelley building were totally destroyed. The city garage owned by Perret & Bickford caught fire a number of times, but was saved with little damage. lhe residence of Caspar Junkers across the street from the Shellev hall was saved after a heroic strug gle by a bucket brigade. This is the fifth fire in Sandv during the last year, and the citizens are awaking to the necessity for some sort of fire fighting apparatus. ISSPROVIMG WOOD LOTS. Rundown Forests May Be Put In Good Condition by Underplanting. Rundown wood lots can be put into good condition ugaln by an improve ment cutting, followed by underplant ing with useful species. The purpose of such a cutting Is to remove all trees of bad form, of uude- sirablo kind aud those in defective con dition. This may open up the stand very considerably, especially where the lot has been neglected for a long time, and it will be good forestry to underplant with some useful kind of tree when such trees of valuable kinds are lack ing. Nursery grown white pines which have previously had one transplanting make a good tree for such underplant ing. In addition, along exposed bor ders a belt of four rows of Norway spruce may well be set to form a pro tective mantle to shut out drying winds. An improvement cutting which fol lowed this method was completed this winter on one of the Cornojl (New York) university wood lots under con ditions which seem to indicate that it is practicable near niiy fair sized town. Where there is a market for lumber aud fuel the wood removed by the iin provment cutting may be sold to good advantage. Under such a plan a new forest whol ly of useful trees can be had by the underplanting. After eight or ten years the remaining trees of the old stand can be removed. Because of the larger growing room and greater sup ply of light which they will receive they will have made a rapid Increase In girth during the period. Op stoop slopes the underplanting will tend to hold the soil hi place and to prevent washoutSiOn the hillsides. Homemade Land Measurer. Make a land measurer by putting to gether one-half by one and one-half strips of wood in tho manner shown. The four strips that make the "wheel" are firmly nailed together. Then a hole is bored through the middle for tho round bolt that will pass through LAND MEASUHEK. the sldo pieces, and the wheel. Havej the end of ono strip palutcd that ai complete revolution may be enslly counted as one walks along. Mark on the ground the exact distance covered by one revolution. If feet and any Inches except six are shown cut off tho ends of the stlclis until one revo lution Bhows an exact number of feet. This multiplied by the number of rev olutions across a Hold will give its length readily. American Agricultur ist. Use Purs Bred Stallions. Prepared by United States department of agriculture. War conditions abroad have placed upon the American furmers the re sponsibility for tho continuing and Im provement of the horse industry; hence it is especially Important nt this time that horse breeders give partic ular consideration to the selection of a proper sire. The influence of tho sire is pre-eminent, because he directly af fects a greater number of offspring than docs the single female. There can be no Improvement or grading up process by the uso of scrub sires. It is not n paying proposition simply to breed mares to any stallions that may be available. A sound, pure bred Btal llon must be used If best results are to be obtained. Time to Wean Lambs. Lambs should be weaned at from four to five months of uge, depending somewhat on the condition of the ewes and Hie size of the lambs. Where they are large and growthy and the ewes thin the lambs may be weaned eurlier in order thut the ewes may be put In better condition before breeding. Where tho lambs are small ami the ewes in good condition, however, tliey muy be allowed to run tup'thcr longer. The lambs should he well fed at weuulitg HniP to X""1'1 ri'lluic'tsi THE LITTLE ONES AND OLD ONES James Edwards, 298 Harriet St., Montgomery, Ala., writes: "I sleep all night and cough but little.
