GOVERNMENT HAS FREE
BOOKS FOR FARMERS
Many farmers are not aware that
the Government publishes several
valuable books for free distribution.
These books are apportioned to Sen
ators and Congressmen from whom
they can be obtained by merely ask
for them. Among the most useful of
these books are the agricultural Year
Books, that for 1911 beng the latest
issued. The Government also publish
es a very practical book on "Diseases
of the Horse" and another on "Dis
eases of Cattle," and a report of the
Bureau of Animal Inrustry, of special
value to stock raisers.
Asking for copies of these books
does not place the citizen under any
obligations whatever to the senators
or congressmen, as the books are
printed by the government and paid
for by the taxpayers. Many an Ore
gon farmer has cured sick horses
and cattle by following the instruc
tions in the government's doctor
books. If you are interested, send
your request to Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., Senator George E. Cham
berlain, Congressman W. C. Hawley
or Congressman A. W. Lafferty, at

CONVICT CAMPS ARE
ENDED IN ARKANSAS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 17.
Wiping out of convict camps in Ar
kansas, coupled with a desire to deal
a deatn blow to the leasing system
by wnich prison inmates are handed
over to contractors, is the motive
given by Governor Donaghey for par
doning 316 state convicts. Donaghey
also promised to liberate 44 county
convicts tomorrow.
"The penitentiary was not designed
for a Sunday school," was the pro
testing telegram received by the gov
ernor from members of the state leg
islature. "No", answered Governor Donaghey
"that's true. But let me say that the
penitentiary was not designed for a
revengeful hell, either."
Three convict camps were wiped
out clean by the governor's act and
under the order the former prisoners
are restored to full citizenship.
"The leasing of prison convicts,''
said the governor today, "is greatly
abused. Miscarriage, of justice has
sent scores of men to the penitentiary
and convict camps for petty offenses.
My act is intended as a blow to the
lease system and other blows equally
as crushing will be dealt before I go
out of office."
Robert Rodgers, former attorney
general of Arkansas, bitterly denoun
ced Governor Donaghey.
"The governor's act," said Rodgers,
"was the act of either a maniac or of
a man allowing spite and revenge to
outweigh the interests of the public.
"These pardons turn loose more
than one-third of the state's convicts."
THE FARMER'S SON
(By F. M. Gill.)
The farmer's son inherits hands
That worthy labor do not fear;
That guide the plow and farm the
lands,
And gather harvests of the year;
That fell the trees and clear the soil;
That till, or reap, or work, or sow;
That sinewy grow with honest toil;
And wield the axe or use the hoe.
His is the wisdom of the fields
And woods and flowers and murmur
ing brooks;
To him the meaning is revealed
Of sunset skies and sunny looks
Of summer shimmering on the hills;
The springtime gayly singing birds;
The music of the gushing rills.
And nature's gentle loving words.
And he inherits a soupd mind
That loveth human liberty;
That fashion edicts do not bind;
A mind that's open, noble, free.
Where thoughts are given room to
grow
To balance all the doubts of state,
And freedom's blessings cause to flow,
And' not become degenerate.
'Tis such as he makes earth's great
men,
Inventors, poets, orators,
The wielders of the cogent pen,
And generals of hard-fought wars.
'Tis such as he moulds destiny
And trains the balance wheel of
time;
And that preserves the liberty
Of every land and clime.
Then call not his a lowly birth;
The farm is not a lowly place;
But each a kingdom of the earth,
The farmer king of kingly race;
The son the heir of all the lands,
And knowledge of these latter days,
And sinewy and willing hands, 5
And will that strength and power
portrays.

GERM LADEN DUST
ELY'S CREAM BALM KILLS THE
DEADLY CATARRH GERMS
NO STOMACH DOSING
Catarrh which is bad enough in it
self, often results in loss of taste,
smell, and hearing, and leads to ser
ious throat and lung troubles if not
promptly checked. The seat of ca
tarrh is usually in the back of the nose
and it natural course is downward, in
to the throat and thence to the lungs.
Don' take any chances. If you have
auy symptoms of catarrh stuffed up
feeling in the head, nasty discharge
from the nose, sore throat or dry, hack
ing cough, get a 50 cent bottle of
Ely's Cream Balm from your druggist
and begfn the treatment at once.
This remedy is not a "burning out"
or "drying up" process. It is si
a cleansing, healing, antiseptic, Bal
taken through the nostrils back into
the head and throat where it instan
ly reaches the seat of the trov
That's the only way to effectually and
permanently cure catarrh.
Catarrh makes you offensive to
yourself and friends. Start using
Ely's Cream Balm today, and in a
short time you will be permanently
cured of this nasty, disgusting dis
ease. FOUR WIVES AND ONE

MOLASSES AS A STOCK FEED
W. C. Stader, Vinegrove, Kentucky,
writes: "What do you know about the
value of black strip or low grade mo
lasses as a feed, and how much should
be fed?"
The Experiment Station Bulletin
No. 118, of the Massachusetts Experi
ment Station, Amherst, Mass., gives
a 'very complete digest of the subject
of molasses as a feed. The conclusion)
do not seem to be very satisfactory
regarding its value. Where it can t;
obtained cheaply, and where the grains
are high priced, it probably has a place
in the feeds. It is sometimes fed by
diluting it with water so that stocli
will drink it, but generally it is used
to give cheaper feeds more palatabil
ity; that is, it can be mixed with ebon
ped straw or other coarse hay and
stock will eat this to get the molasses.
It is also used to quite an extent witfc
alfalfa meal.
Its principal feeding constituent is
the sugar or carbo-hydrates, and 'be
conclusion of the Bulletin seems to be
that these can be bought more cheaply
In such feeds as corn than in the
molasses. However, it would be we!!
I for you to find out what it would cost
! you in your locality be.'ore deciding a?
to feeding or not feeding it. At tbe
present prices of other feeds, we arc
inclined to believe you will find that
an investment in molasses for a feed
will not be a profitable one.

The Finest English Odes.

the noblest, and Dr. Richard Garnett
agreed with him in thinking It the

"Alexander's Feast: or. The Power of

Spenser's "Epithalamium." Milton's
"Ode on the Nativity," Keats' odes
"To a Nightingale" and "On a Grecian
Urn" and Shelley's "To a Skylark"
are notable instances of this class of
poem, and to these must be added,
