Springtlm.
Tli springtime, and the year U
young and fair.
The sunbeams lightly kiss each bud
ding tree;
With fragrance laden Is the balmy air,
Now flutter forth the butterfly and
bee.
Sweet violets and quaker-ladles neat
Peep shyly from the brown earth,
damp and cold;
The Utile birds sing cheerful songs
and sweet,
And, at their will, the lambkins
leave the fold.
In yonder wood sweet ferns unroll
their fronds.
The happy streamlets murmur as
they flow.
The flashing fish Jump In the quiet
ponds;
All things are waking on the earth
below.
Hints for Stock Owners.
It is time to prepare for soiling
crops against the days of summer
drought that are sure to come. It is
only by a succession of such crops
that the efficiency of the dairy cau be
maintained in the trying August days.
It Is best to have two pastures for
sheep, and to chauge from one to the
other weekly.
Make the change from dry feed to
pasture carefully, allowing the sheep
in pasture only a few hours at first
Give a full feeding of hay, etc., in
the barn for several days before turn
ing out.
Never trust a boar no matter how
kind he appears. Always keep be
hind him.
Set a post In your hog lot and ev
ery hog will rub against it.
second growth on the other trees in
the orchards began about July t5, ami
out of 325 trees examined 66 per cent
of the trees on cultivated soil and
21.1 per cent of those In sod made a
second growth.
Farm Management.
Successful farming depends upon
doing everything at the right time
and In the right way. A fellow should
push his work and not allow his work
to push him. After a crop has been
grown It should not be lost or allowed
to become damaged by a little care
lessness In handltug or storing. The
quality of wheat ami other gralu Is
often seriously Injured by harvesting
too late by leaving It In the shock too
long, by wetting or heating In the
stack because of careless stacking,
and by threshing and storing damp
grain, resulting in bin-burning, etc.
Often wheat which might have graded
No. 1 or No. 2 slumps on to No. 3 or
4 or Is rejected simply because of the
neglect in taking proper care of the
grain.
Improving Sweet Corn.
Farmers and seedsmen give more
or less time and work to improving
the quality of various seeds and
plants, but the suburbanite rarely
takes interest in any special product
in order to better Its quantity or
quality.
Some years ago I took up the study
of sweet corn, as It grew In the gar
den. The earliest and finest ears wqre
selected, marked and wrapped, so
that they might not be molested by
birds or other trespassers.
The result of several season's selec-
ThUl,,on 's that I had corn which ma-
gives the cue for a cheap and effective
louse killer. Wrap the post tightly
from the ground up with quarter-inch
rope, saturate the rope with kerosene
every few days. Kerosene will kill
lice, and hogs will kep on scratching
against this post.
Do not leave the cows out in the
cold May rains.
Do not leave them out for more than
half a day at first
The changes in feed should be
brought about gradually and with as
much care as possible.
Always give a good feeding of hay
before the cows are turned to pas
ture the first time in the spring.
Put in lots of sweet corn. It is
an attraction on the home table and
a money maker in the dairy.
In case your calves show signs of
having scours, give them a teaspoon
ful of fine charcoal with the milk for
a few days. When the trouble disap
pears, begin feeding hay and you will
not have any more difficulty with the
scours.
Keep the collars clean and dry.
Keep the colt's feet level by rasp
ing. Don't allow the toes to grow too
long. Long toes will cause ringbones.
Do not use grease or blacking on
the hoofs to close the pores, and pre
vent the entrance of moisture.
It Is better never to let horses run
on both sides of a wire fence, especi
ally If there is barb wire at the top.
They are very apt to fight through
or over It and are pretty sure to get
hurt.
Watering often is far better than
waiting till a horse is almost choked
and then letting him have all he cm
drink. Many horses are spoiled by
the latter method, while no one ever
hurt a horse by frequent watering.
, It is a good plan never to dose a
healthy horse. AH he needs Is good
care and good feed. The good care
Includes, of course, regular exercise
It Is just as bad for a horse to be all
the time taking medicine as it is for
a man.
tured five days earlier than any known
variety.
, The Improvement was made by
choosing the earliest ears, then using
only those grains that grew on the
middle of the cob. rejecting each end,
then selecting only the largest and
best shaped grains.
Remedy for Scours.
One who has tried It recommends
corncob tea for calves and colts
troubled with scours. It Is made a
follows: The corncobs are chopped
up Into inch pieces and put lu to a
kettle with enough water to ocver
them, and are then steeped over
slow fire. The fluid Is then drained
off and cooled, and used as a drench
for the affected animals.
Cure for Blind Stagger.
The Louisiana Experiment Station
has been studying blind staggers In
horses, its cause and cure. But noth
ing definite could be found. It is
thel roplnlon that the cause of the
disease Is in some way associated with
the conditions of the feeding mate
rials, such as grass, or cured products
of corn, brought about by the attacks
of mold or fungus.
Pig-Eating Sow.
Sows may be kept from eating their
pigs by giving them a great variety
of food for two months or more be
fore the pigs come along. It should
Include some animal food and plenty
of salt.
The Poultry Yard.
A bappy hen will make a happy
master.
Do not overfeed the growing chicks,
or they may become stunted.
Don't wait until young poultry be
gin to droop and die before looking
for lice.
When you have set all the eggs you
care to for the season, send the roost
era to market Their room is better
than their company.
It Is a waste of time and power-
hen-power to try to hatch eggs that
have really been chilled by the ben
leaving the nest
If the nest is too flat, the eggs are
sure to roll out from under the ben;
and If too deep, the eggs will pile on
top of each other and get broken.
The faithful ben will stay with her
eggs until fairly eaten alive with
mites. Do take time to give sitter
attention; keep lice down. If some
thing else must be neglected.
When a hard shower comes up the
foolish young ducklings need atten
tion. I have known them to stand
out In the rain with heads up and
mouths open umil they drowned.
Hens have a way of settling dis
putes over a nest that often resulU
in scrambled eggs. The hen that is
given a setting of choice eggs should
be set where there will be no trouble
with other hens.
Whn my fowls get the egg-eating
habit, I And a dose of Oyster shells
to be the "eggs-act" remedy. Give
them enough the first time to cause
them to gorge themslves. This has
cured some bad cases.
Did you ever watch a hen Just af
ter you had put some nice clean straw
In the nest boxes? Hear her talk
about it when she climbs Into lay her
egg. She knows the difference and Is
happier than when the straw was
dirty and had lice la it.
Growing Periods of Trees.
The length of the growing period
of apple, pear, cherry and plum trees
was studied by the Wisconsin Experi
ment Station for two years. By care
ful measurements of selected branch
es at Intervals of two to four days, the
growth was determined. After June
1 there was no increase in the growth
of the pear tree nor the cherry after
May 27. With the apple the branch
growth ceased after June 4, and with
the plum, June 23.
Examination of several hundred
other orchard trees during July and
August showed no Indications of fur
ther growth.
During the second season no growth
on any of the trees occurred after
July 10, while the pear tree growth
ceased June 18, and with the apple
and plum, June 27, Other trees In
the same orchard continued to grow
until October 1, at which time most
of the termal buds examined appeared
to be plump and fully formed. This

The man who Is always thinking of
the reward for his good deeds will not
make a good showing in the final ac
counting.
The best use for a lawyer is to keep
us out of trouble, not to get us out
after we are once in.
One form of religion Is to keep the
windows of the sleeping rooms open
A hungry cow can not produce milk
any more than an empty mill hopper
can produce flour.
Some men are so prodigal of their
strength that they work bard to raise
a crop of corn Just to throw it In the
mud to be trampled and wasted by
the cattle.
Sunshine, pure air In the house and
well-cooked food make a combination
which produces health and optimism
and tends to discourage the patent
medicine men.
The rural route postal service comes
high, but It is doing more to educate
and uplift the young people of the
farm than any other Influence.
How tenderly we nurse the young
animal to give It a good start in life,
but how often we neglect this care
of our children.
Every hard-working farmer earns a
vacation of at least two weeks every
year and generally the wife earns
four. But does she get It?
The farm telephone wire Is the con
necting link between neighbors and
the outside world. It banishes lone
liness and creates sympathy and a
spirit of optimism.
A man may have a good knowledge
of the two principles of farming, but
If he neglects the details he will fail.
COMFORTING WORDS.
Many an Oregon City Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to (be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders Is enough to make any kid
ney sufferer grateful. To tell bow
this great change can be brought
about will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Oregon City readers.
William McLarty. 16th and Wash
ington streets, Oregon City, Or., says:
'I had a persistent backache and
pains through my loins that never
seemed to let up. The pains bothered
me moHtly at night and It was impos
sible for me to find a comfortable po
sition. I did not get my proper rest
and consequently In th morning I
had but little enorgy. Seeing Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised I procured a
box at Huntley Bros.' drug store and
when I had used half the cofltents
my condition was greatly Improved,
but I used the entire box to make sure
of the beneficial effects. Kidney
trouble has now entirely disappeared
from my system and I give Doan's
Kidney Plus my highest recommenda
tion."

was being taught fencing at college,
but when ho saw the small Instru

pleasure gave way to disgust.
The Point of View.
"I'nele Kansoiu." said the Planter,
"you rode my best horse, twenty miles
to that festival Sunday night; you
kept him out all day Sunday and near
ly killed him Sunday night. How
many times have I told you to let
my horses rest on Sunday?"
"Yes. suh, Murso Hubert, dat's so,
but "
"How many times have I told you
If you didn't quit that, you and I
couldn't get along together on this
place?"
"Pat she' Is the Irtifo, Mnrse Hub

"It has come to this, Hansom: Reve

To-morrow morning we part ; you go

"Yes. suh."
The old negro looked sorely troubl

his shoulder at the rippling lake, the
open cotton, the perfectly level fields.
