It I a bit hard to understand Just why It Is si. but the grnpe does best on u soil which at surface, at least would be culled thin. One of the hir gest vineyards in the country lies along the railroad right of way between I'as ndenn unci Kedlands, mid the surface soil Is ns nearly pure white sand as It could well ls. Yet it Is a inarvelous ly thrifty vineyard through the entire tract of .t.iloo acres, similarly the most profitable vineyards In Michigan. New York and other grne producing states are, as u rule, situated on this game light and thin soil. Many a dog -mid this applies to both tow n mid country canines becomes nn all around nuisance by living allowed to form the habit of rushing out nnd barking and biting nt every animate object that passes the place. Natural ly this habit enrages passersby, who. to use n common phrase, ,-hiy" for the brute. After he has been w hipped and stoned about so much he naturally look upon every traveler as his enemy and n foe to (lie premises he has tin dertaken to protect. The tlnje to take the kink out of a dog of this kind Is before they are formed, by administer lug a good whipping every time he tries It It won't take hi in long to catch on, and he will stay near the bouse, where ho belongs. OR m F.ETRIGG ICFMTRAL POIMT ROGUE RIVER VALLEY OREGON CCPRCSPONDCI SOLICITS (Thla matter must not b reprinted with out special permission.) With proper care ducks will begin laying at live months without regard to the time of their being hatched. Data lutely published show that about 14,000 families are at present re siding on lund watered by government irrigation systems. Wlille there may be greater risk in raising them, a flock of cockerels at 10 cents a pound live weight are n more profitable proposition than the average hog or steer. A unique experiment In oiling rail war tracks was worked out the other day on a transcontinental line when a tank car containing 10,000 gallons of cocoanut oil sprung a leak and the con tents were spilled for a long distance. The dust was laid, but the material used was a bit high priced. There Is mighty little consistency In the cry put up by many farmers about the high price of farm machinery re sulting from manipulation by tlie trusts when these same implerjents are left exposed to the weather in headlands and fence corners with no covering but a few cobwebs. The grand total value of all live stock of the country, including the several kinds of domestic animals, poultry and bees, as reported to the census bureau for 1010, is $4,S:o.0O0, 000. This is an increase of nearly CO per cent over the showing of 1900, when the figures were $3,075,0oo,0o0. The l(llot4c practice still persists of getting pure bred cattle so fat in making them ready for live stock ex positions as to virtually ruin them for breeding. The live stock authority or Judge who has the nerve and good sense to lead a vigorous revolt ngalnst this senseless practice will be entitled to the thanks of every raiser of blood ed cattle In the country. Ensilage Is coming more and more iDto favor ns a part ration for feeding cattle. A combination that is hard to bent Is twenty-five to thirty pounds of iilage, from eighteen to twenty pounds of corn and from two to four pounds of clover hay or alfalfa. Where It Is not possible to secure these legumes two or three pounds of oil or cotton seed meal will be a good substitute. In a good many states laws recently passed specify what shall constitute official weights for the many products of the soil used In general consump tion. Where such laws have been passed it means that the buyer cmi in sist on a fair measure when lie buys a given n mount. Three products of general consumption where the en forcement of the law is likely to make a difference are potatoes, onions nnd apples. Every thinking horseman knows that it Is not whether a collar Is soft, but whether It fits, that makes it a good or bad collar. Without question the best collar made today is an Iron frame in which there Is no leather or padding on the parts touching the shoulder. This reduces perspiration to a mini mum nnd keeps the surface of the skin in a healthy condition. A collar that has to be padded is likely to be either a poor fit or poorly made. As a source of supply for the nitro gen ration needed on the farm a field of alfalfa Is preferable to n clover meadow for two reasons. The first Is that It Is a perennial, not a biennial, as Is the clover. This means that It can send Its roots deeper Into the earth and when once established Is much less likely to winter kill or die In a dry spell, as wns the case Inst summer A second point In favor of alfalfa Is that under equally favorable condi tions It will yield twice ns much hay ns w ill clover. Perhaps It Is some what more difficult to get a Held of alfalfa started, but it l worth the ef fort. ' For those living In the northerly lati tudes who have n strawberry bod to rnrry through the winter for the first time n suggestion will be In place as to protecting It. It Is well to wait tin til the ground Is fror.cn firmly, when the bed should be given n covering of clean straw, coarse hay or cornstalks and of sufficient depth to shield from the rays of the sun nnd keep the bed from alternate thawing nnd freezing during the winter. If one's locality Is likely to be visited by n killing frost at blossom time the danger tuny bo re duced by allowing the covering to re main on the bed until a couple of weeks after other green things get well started. If the covering Is of straw It Is nn excellent plan to merely rake It from the plants on to the spaces be tween the rows, where It will serve ns in excellent mulch and keep the ber ries clean. -ML 0 h v A I Correspondence PINE GROVE Henry huge left for Tillamook Monday evening Kobert Foley spent Sunday nnd Monday In Portland.

FRICK OR MR. GARY WILL CARE TO DEFEND ANY ORGANIZATION WHICH BY INADVERTENCE EXPRESSES IN ITS ORGANIZATION ANYTHING CONTRARY TO HIS LIFELONG CHAR ACTER OF UPRIGHTNESS. The Sherman act against trusts came along because trusts existed and were multiplying. Our busy, unsuspecting people were not awaro of the power and hardships possible to monopolistic corporations, and the continual ad vance in the cost of living, raiment and all building improvements AWAKENED THE PEOPLE. A day had come when the people all over the United States would get behind their senators and representatives, judges, writers and the newspaper world generally and demand relief. That day had to come or anarchy would have been produced. THAT DAY OF RELIEF HA8 ARRIVED. It is written, "AS A IT AN TIIINKETII, SO IS IIE," and so are his companies and businesses. I am sure the day is at hand when any man or set of men doing business contrary to existing statutes, when such is proved to them without animosity or unnecessary haste or heedless expenses, will set their houses in proper order. For this reason I believe we are on the eve of a BETTER, SAFER, STEAD IER, PROSPEROUS BUSINESS DECADE. AMERICA CAN SQUARE ITSELF TO WAR WHEN IT HAS TO BE AND YET MORE EASILY TO PERMANENT PEACE. SO IT CAN AND WILL SQUARE ITSELF IN THE REGULATION OF TARIFFS, TRUSTS AND 8TOCK MARKETS.
