A hog doesn't object to most any kind of dirty water to wallow In, but when It comes to his Inside it would prefer to have It fresh. Either beans or potatoes make an excellent crop to prow In the young or chard, and the thorough cultivation they receive furnishes the best possible condition for the growing trees. Mrs. King of Corpus Christi, Tex., Is ' rrelit(d with iielni? tin nifln.iiror of tha I largest ranch in the world operated by a woman. The ranch comprises a mil lion and a quarter acres and Is owned by Mrs. King. Triplets In the bovine tribe are quite a rarity, and even more rare Is It that they grow to maturity. The writer saw such a trio the other day all heifers two years old and all vigorous anil their dam with them. There should be no double standard of courtesy for drivers of autos and horses on public thoroughfares. There Is only one rule that does for all oc casionscourtesy and the square deal, or. In other words, the Golden Rule. Ifi a pretty good Idea for the busi ness man to take an outing or vaca tion now and then If for no other rea son than to keep from getting into that habit which makes the taking of a vacation and the enjoyment of It a virtual Impossibility.

In passing rapidly through the country, one notices the marked differences In temperature between strntas of air on high and low lands, even if separated by a Tery few feet The old theory that thunder, the mere noise, sours milk has been ex ploded. It has been found that the rapid souring of milk during a thun derstorm Is due to the effect of the electricity In the air upon the myraids of bacteria which the fluid contains, it having the effect to make these small organisms very vigorous and active. The white clover is abundant this year again in many sections, and both stock and bees are making the most of It It Is not only pleasing to the eye as It flecks the pasture stretches, but the odor from It is most fragrant It may be due to having needed moisture, but It Is appearing this season In abundance where there has been little or Done of it for the past two years. There Is nothing produced on the farm that is more delicious and fra grant than sweet, clean milk and Its products, cream and butter, and, on the other hand, nothing more rank or odious than these same products if they are dirty and full of putrefactive bacteria. To produce the better grade cleanliness is absolutely nwessary, and this Is possible through the proper use of cold and hot water and exposure to unshlne. The guano, which Is the deposit of millions of sea birds found on the is land adjacent to Peru, is said to have been used and exploited commercially by Incas centuries ago In modern times this fertilizer has been used on a commercial scale since 1MO. and during the years Intervening it Is es timated that the Islands have yielded 11,000.000 tons. Some years ago the richest deposits were on the Cincha Is lands, where the guano lay to the depth of 100 feet In many sections of the northern states where the apple trees are likely to produce Dew wood so late in the season that It runs the risk of being Injured by the fall freezes It Is well to stop cultivation about the 15th of July aDd sow some cover crop which will absorb the surplus moisture that the soil may contain. For this pur pose vetch or oafs and buckwheat may be used. The former bus a trifle the advantage over the latter comblna tlon In that It will continue to grow after the first frosts and. being a leg ume, enriches the soil through Its root systems.

Invitations to a dinner are issued la the name of both host and howtcxs The reply is addressed li the hostess only. A new reshlent must wait to le en tertained before she can offer enter talnnient of even the simplest or most liiforuial kind. Weddinjr gifts of silver are marked with the bride's maiden n:ime or In itials and scut to the bride's resi dence a few days ln'fore the wedding. At a dinner or luncheon the gloves are removed when taking one's seal at the table and laid In the lap; they are put on again after the meal Is finished. The visiting card slionfd have the prefix "Miss" or ''Mrs." upon It, never the name alone without tin prefix except In the case of young girls under eighteen.

THE 5, 10 and 15 CENT STORE Hellbronner Bldg., 3rd and Cascade From An Observer When walking thru your beautiful city, one receives occasional shocks while try Ing to locate himself from the street names on the curbs. A number of years hence when your population has greatly Increased a great many more people will b. read ing the street names mid a great many more people will wonder why such errors as thu following were al lowed when the walks were eon striicted, and will perhaps wonder as th'.' "Observer" does now, why someone was not held responsible for tills part of the Improvemtnt work; why and where Is "Casacde St.," "Tlit St.," "Colombia St," "Eight St." anil why are not the let ters uniform and upright Instead of giving the Impression that they are leaning against one of the many light poles for support. Take a walk over the streets your self and go after the contractor or lifter someone, and have the names corrected, but please don't refer the matter to the street committee. Baptist Church Itev.

It is ipiestlomible If thot can be cnlled the best type of ng rlculture which Is prosecuted under conditions In which these higher ends are not achieved. The ways of nature are surely past Drilling out.

Plenty of Room In Professions For Right Men By Dr. JOHN CRIER HIBBEN. President of Princeton University 1DO not sluire the general alarm over tbo so called orercrowd iu;,' of the professions. I feel, as Daniel Webster put it, that there is ALWAYS ROOM AT THE TOP. The world U continually in search of really able and talented men, and there are not beginning to bo enough nowadays to meet the supply. Tlio trouble arises from the fact that a great many men are simply of MKIHOCIiE ABILITY and lack the energy and enterprise neo essary to reach the top. In other words, they do not work hard enough nnd are careless in the preparation for their life work. GOOD MEN ARE EVERYWHERE IN DEMAND, AND 80 FAR FROM THE PROFESSIONS BEING OVERCROWDED THERE 19 A LA MENTABLE LACK OF REALLY ACCOMPLISHED MEN. mm M After the Doctor-- TMU DRUGGIST The doctor's work is only half what has to be done for the pa tient. And if the druggist be lacking in ability and care the prescription might as well have never been written. Hut we make a special study of each case and our own medical knowledge is thorough enough to be of great use to us in those sometimes oc curring cases when the doctor, in his haste, makes a slight error.
