According to the report of the State

are rapidly Increanlng.
Hears are now protected In Penn

tho spring am) summer months. Dur
ing tho aeaaon of 1907 there were
killed In tho state 230 deer.
, l)r, Joseph Kolbfus, chief game pro
tector of tho atate, recommends tho
placing of a bounty on tho aealps of
the domestic cat an well a on those
of tho wildcat.
"There la no greater destroyer of
bird life," he saya, "than tho houae
cat." tf
Tho legislative appropriation for
bounties on noxious animals and blrda
wan InHiimclent to meet tho demands
upon It laHt year. A much larger ap

Treating the Hoof.
"Hoof -hound," as tho term la usually
employed, refers to a condition of
contracted feet which may bo due to
several different causes. A very good
way of treating It Is to keep tho hoofs

Have the animal's shoos rernovod,
keeping her off hard roads, and, If
possible, stand her in a mud nam w
keep her feet moist.
Handling Barnyard Manure.
Winter Is tho best time to haul
barnyard manure out on the field, and
If tho ground la frozen It la all the
better. At ono time It wag thought
to put tho manure In amall plica on
tho flelda, to prevent leaching, but
more recent experiments" have proved
that manure spread out on tho surface
right from the wagon loses vory little
of Its virtue. The condition are uch,
It seems, that when tho manure Is
spread out on the surface the valuable
Ingredients are not soluble, and there
fore can not be washed away by the
rains.
There are more or leas favorable
condition! for tho leaching away of
fertility when manure Is placed In
heaps, for the reaaon that whllo kept
In a body In this way aomo of the fer
tilizing Ingredients become soluble
and are waahed away during the heavy
freshets. Anldo from this, manure
placed In piles la apt to make crop
SMitted.
It Is a good Idea to apply manure In
this way to meadowg and pasture.
This will not only give an Increase of
ha yor grusn, but If It Is Intended In a
year or more afterward to plow up the
meadow or paature to plant to a crop
of corn or other grain, the latter will
receive tho benefit of the application
of manure thus given.
Fertilizing the Orchard.
Experience everywhere teaches that
an orchard will live longer, bear better
anil be more profitable for being well
cultivated and enriched. The expert
mi.tit utHtlon hnvn tried both methods
i and havo collected opinions from the
; bent fruit grower In their sectlona,
and tho verdict in almoHt every case
J la that cultivation la necessary for
healthy trees and flrst-clana mm.
Potaah la the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after they come Into bearing. Potaah
may be had In wood anhea and muriate
of potash. It la most commonly used
In the latter form. An unusual appli
cation of potash should be made upon
bearing orchards, 500 pound to the
acre.
Frog Skins.
Frognkln to the value of 13350 were
exported last year from Yokohama,.
From them are made purses, pocket
books, etc.
Fence Pott.
Wyoming experiments In preserv
ing fence posts show thot when the
posts were dlped In crude petroleum
and burned off ao that the char comes
above the ground when posU are set,
they will keep Indefinitely.
Moving In.
Missouri land la getting to be very
valuable. On last Friday the old T. F.
R. Southam farm, four mllea north of
Chllllcothe, consisting of 393 acres,
brought the sum total of $33,400. It
waa sold to W. R. Russell, of Friend,

greater than In any year since the
Jolly Fellows were in the prime, 10
years ago, and went to Portland and
carried off the scalp of Multnomah.
Tho Introduction of Oregon City to a
membership In the Trl-Clty League Is
very gratifying to the fans, who be
lieve that good sport will be displayed
here. With the expectation of a mi
nor league team, the possibility of
"scrub" teama Is eliminated, and not
only Oregon City, but the Immediate
locality, will pull bard for good sport,
and will exhibit loyalty to the team.
William Telford, who managed the
Oregon City Grays last year, has
taken charge of the Trl-Clty league

High School, will play the shortstop
position. Day, last year with tbe
Trunks, may be placed at third base.

owned by C. A. Partlow, of Portland,
who managed the Trunkmakera last
season.
The grounds at Canemah Park will
be used, and will be placed In excel
lent condition for the coming seasons
games.

will be tried out for positions. The try

pected that tho posltlona In the Ore
gon City team will be filled for the
coming season. Mr. Telford and Mr.
Partlow Intend to get experienced men
on the home team, and promise good
baseball for the local fans.
Among tbe men who will be tried out
are White, of Canby, for catcher; Lltz
el, a second baBeman, who has Just
come here from the East; Nefzger, the
well-known Blab artist, and Roberts,
8hortstop of the Salem High School;
Telford in the outfield, and Long, Dout
hlt and Shaw aa utility men, the for-
mrn attornflHnp in the box.
f Three Astoria men are after places

Infield.. Several Portland players are
also In the try-out list Kruger, who
was thlrd-sacker for the Bralnard

fielder, will work In local stores here
during the summer. Rummel and Ha
bernlcht, pitchers; Van North wick,
left fl'.eder, and Locke, who was the
first baseman for the DeVoe team In
Portland. last season, are among the
men who may be signed.
With plenty of good material there Is
every reason to believe that Oregon
City will have a team this season that
will be able to hold Its own with the
other ball tossers of the Trl-City
League, and the fans are all agog over
the liveliness In the baseball situa
tion. $5 PRIZE FOR NAME.

Ben Franklin
who used to run a newspaper down East years ago, also edited
an almanac which contained some wise sayings. Here la one
of them:
"Tbe way to wealth. If you desire It, Is as plain as tbe way
to market. It depends chiefly on two words Industry and
frugality. He that gets all be can honestly and saves all he
gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become
rich."
What Ben said waa not only true at that time, but it still
holds good at the present day.
There la no better way to save than to have a bank account

Mr. Tongue is an able young man,
and, while he is not running on his
ancestry, a good many will feel kindly
toward him and put faith in his abil
ity from the knowledge of the fact
that he is the son of the ablest Con
gressman Oregon ever sent to Wash
ington. Mr. Tongue will have practi
cally a solid vote in Washington
County, and as his only opponent is
from Clatsop, and as that County now
has far more that its share of politi
cal honors, we have no doubt he will
receive the vote of Columbia Coun
ty. In order that the voters may un
derstand how Clatsop County has
prospered in politics we give the fol
