Htllsbobo, Dec. 14. Suberculosis has
appeard on our farms in this county and the
fear of the contagion has arroused much
feeling in thejneighborhood. The origin of
the disease being so obscure and the symp
toms of its early stages af attack being so
little known by the farmers, a dread attach
es to it that would not were they more
familiar with its appearance.
The dairy interest in this county is prov.
ing to be the most profitable that is penned.
Last month the Jproduct from one of eur
creameries netted its patrons 32J cents per
nniind for bntter fat. and seeing that the
ideal cow will make over two pounds of but'
ter per day, a farmer's income can be made
to be quite respectable.

The farmers'a institute being held this
week by the authorities of the agricultural
college is a well attended meeting, visitors
from both Yamhill and Multnomah counties
being in attendance. Quite a surprise
greeted Pres. Bloss and his co-laborers.
The farmers here considered it the proper
thing, seeing that the agricultural college
had sent its talent down to tell our people
how to farm, to show them in- return what
they do produce. The spacious dining room
of Grange hall was turned into a show
room where was put on exhibition the seas
onable products of the county cereals from
the farm, grasses from the meadows, wool
from the herds, tiles from the factories,
fruit and nursery stock from the orchards
and nurseries, printing from the newspaper
and job offices, bread, cakes and pastries
from the farmer's kitchens graced the tables
in great profusion.

On Tuesday evening Ulrich Kemple, a
German dairyman living eight miles north
east of Hillsboro, was in the dusk of even
ing called to his door by two unknown men
and attacked. The assailants beat Kemple
over the head with a pistol, bat the old man
managed to retreat and shut the door.
Through this several shots were fired but
no damage done. Kemple ran out through
the back door and gave such an alarm as
scared the assassins away. A sheriff's
posse is after the robbers. ' In the melee at
the door a pistol was broken and a part
afterward picked np; one of the rogues
lost his hat. With these clews it is hoped
to' get them. Kemple was so badly hurt
that the services of a surgeon was required, 1

Saturday evening just before M. J. Arm
strong, erocer. usually closes his store, and
just as he was counting his cash, which he
had in a paper sack, Newt Agee and Altred
Jones entered the store and called for some
cheese. After supplying their wants he
missed his sack of money and called for
help. Aeee started up the street, but was
caught and brought back to the store and
the door locked. The marshal was called in
and noon searching the young men the
money was found in the overcoat pocket of
Jones, who swears that he does not know
how it eot there. The young men are of
ijood Darents and the matter is a mystery
unless it can be laid to ardent spirits, ot
which thev had consumed-considerable dur
ing the afternoon. They were locked up in
the city jail for the night and were taken to
the county jail Sunday morning. They
waived examination and are under $100

The attendance was large and more than 75

AN ENGINEER'S EXPERIENCE.
FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DAILY CALUMET.
3outh Chicago, October 7, 1893.
' Editor Calumet: I desire to let the
people of this section know the great
benefit I have derived from the use
of Chmberlain'8 Pain Balm. I am an
engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that I feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do noth
ing for me, and often, after catching cold
I would be laid np and lose a day or two's
work. About a year ago I caught a severe
cold and had to go to bed. The pain in
my back was terrible and I could get no
relief. I sent to a drug store for some
kind of liniment and the druttgist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm ' was as good as
anything. .1 had the Pain Balm well rub
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet a flannel cloth and bound it across the
seat of pain. In a few hours relief came,
the pain had vanished, and the next day I
went to work and have not lost a day
since.- Yours Reap., B. W. Bradley,. En
gineer. Pain Balm is for sale here by
Graham & Wells, druggists. '

BENTOFS FRUIT INDUSTRY.
An Interesting Account by Burt
Johnson in the Or
egonian. " Time was- when the farmer of Oregon
could be adequately remunerated for his
labor by raising wheat, but with the pre
vailing low price of that article it has come
to be little more than a bare living which
be receives in return for his toil.' The
wheat crop is coming in direct competition
with that raised on cheaper soils and on
land not adapted to diversified farming.
For this reason, as much as anything else,
the Oregon agriculturist is turning his at
tention to the cultivation of other crops, at
least this is true of farmers in this locality.
Stock, hops and fruit are each year receiv
ing more attention in Benton county.
Within the last four years no less than
1,200 acres of land have been planted in
orchards. Of these new orchards, about
900 acres are in prunes, 100 in peaches, 75
in apples, 50 in pears, and the remainder in
small fruits. Of the prunes, the Italian
seems to be the favorite, and the acreage
of this variety is largely in excess of all
others. Next to this comes the Petite.
Three large prune companies have been
organized. Of these the Corvallis & Ben
ton County Prune Company, with 156
acres was the first. The soil is the com
mon dark loam found on the praines
throughout the Willamette valley. the
trees are set 20 feet apart each way, mak
ing a total of 17,500 trees, which are now
three years old. - About 400 or about two
and one-half per cent have been lost and
have beeu replaced. This is said to be an
excellent showing. This year the trees bore
but a tew bushels, hardly enough to be
called a crop. Next year, however, a suffi
cient crop is anticipated to justify the
building of a dryer. During the past few
days an experienced horticulturist has been
engaged in instructing the employes in tne
art of pruning.
lo this organization is largely due tne
credit for the interest which has been
aroused in the culture of prunes in and about
Benton county. About a year subsequent
to tne organization of this company the
Bellefontaine Fruit Association was
formed, which now has a total acreage of
200, 150 of which is in prunes, the remain
der being apples and pears. This orchard
is located about 16 miles south of Corvallis
and the land is the common red soil Oi the
foothills. Lying near this are 100 acres of
prunes, owned by the Excelsior Fruit Com
pany, planted last winter, and on similar
land. The land of both orchards is well
drained and thus far the growth oftne trees
seem tn indicate that the location will be
well adapted to fruitgrowing owing, no
doubt, to the superior drainage. To the
credit of each of these companies it may be
said that the trees are in excellent condition,
the re8i.lt of good cultivation and scientific
pruning.
These orchards, in turn, have stimulated
individuals to plant out smaller tracts of
land, and within a few years the old worn
rut orchards of the donation claim will
have given place to new orchards, planted
to the latest varieties of fruit and cared for
according to the most modern ideas. But
few of these latter orchards have yet come
to full bearing, and it is not fully known
what results can be attaiued. That it will
compare favorably with other counties was
proved this year by the experience of Hugh
Finley, who owns au orchard of 50 acres
located some 10 miles' south of Corvallis.
His trees are planted 16 feet apart, or 160
to the acre. One hundred of tliesn trees are-4
8 years old and this season averaged 7J
bushels of green fruit per tree. One thou
sand six hundred trees 6 years old, one-half
Italian and one-half Petites, averaged three
bushels per tree, and netted him $480 per
acre.
Apples are not receiving the attention
they deserve, and in this field there are great
possibilities.
The hop is receiving more consideration
this year than heretofore. In all there are
now about 100 acres in cultivation in the
connty, yielding from 1200 to 2,500 pounds
per acre, and it is safe to say this acreage
will be doubled during the next twelve
months.
NEED FOR REFORM.
At high tide last night the indebtedness
of the city of Corvallis, as shown by the
report of the police judge, reached the
f 17,164-dollar mark. .The indebtedness
that the city is supposed to incur is limited
by the charter to $5,000. There seems to
be a need for retrenchment and reform.
Times.
Right you are neighbor. The time (next
May) approaches when this movement
will begin. The signs of the times are
promising and there is no doubt but that
the people will see that the necessary re
trenchment and reform will be attended to.
"Turn the rascals out."
Remember to make your arrangements
for the grand masque ball of Hook & Lad
der company No. 1, in the opera house on
Christmas night in time. There are already
some novel and unique costumes prepared
aud Dame Rumor has it that this ball will
eclipse all former occasions of a similar
nature in this city. If you miss it you will
have a case of regrets the balance of your
natural life.
The success of Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy in effecting a speedy cure of colds, croup
and whooping cough has brought it into great
demand. Messrs. fontius & Son, of Cameron
Ohio, say that it has gained a reputation sec
ond to none in that vicinity. Jas. M. Queen,
of Johnston, W. Va., says it is the best he
ever used. B. F. Jones, druggist, Winona,
Miss., says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is perfectly reliable. I have always warranted
it and it never failed to give the most per
fect satisfaction." Fifty-cent bottles for

COLLEGE NOTES.
The physiology class spent a day this week
in dissecting the eye.
The college walk has been very slippery
this woek and numerous beautiful touch
downs were made.
The final examinations of the term begin
Monday. School will close on the 22nd for
the h liday vacation.
The rumber of absentees during the week
hns been large. La grippe, etc., seems to
have a good hold upon us.
The question to be debated at the contest is
"Resolved that the battle of Antietam was
more important in sunpressiner the rebel
lion than the battle of Gettysburg." This
is a very broad question, and one that will
be 01 interest to all.
Last Saturday night "TramD." "Trumn "
and "Buck," in disguise, started out sere
nading, lhey evidently succeeded in
making night hideous "for the nisrhtwatch-
man was sent for, but before he arrived the
boys had gone to another part of the city,
where their music (?) was more highly ap
preciated Considerable excitement was caused Wpd
nfisday morning by flames issuing from a
cbimnoy on ladies' hall. We are glad to
say that the fire brigade still exists, and al-
tnougn manv energetic workers have re
tired, turned out in considerable 4 force.
The excitement soon abated, but not be-
iore numerous books, hats, mips, etc., had
been thrown out of the windows.
Last week Prof. G. W. Shaw visited the
band room to hear the bovs nrnftipn. Tt will
be remembered that Prof. Shaw previously
instructed the band, and that it was under
his instruction that the boys received their
nrsi lessons. The professor was well pleased
with the work done. Later in the week the
boys were favored by a visit from C. G. Le-
masters, editor or the Amity Popgun.
A farmers' institute was held at Hillsboro

Craig. Snell, Letcher, Washburn and
French. Pres. Bloss delivered two lectures,
one being upon drainage and the other upon
the state agricultural' college, illustrated
with lantern views of the college buildings,
etc.
The lecture delivered by Pres. J. M. Bloss
last Sunday was well attended. The sub
ject was, "The civil war as a factor in edu
cation." President Bloss spoke of the
character of the men of both armies that
they were composed of the very best men in
the country, and not of a low class, as many
suppose. He spoke of the war as developing
(1) a talent or reading, both in the armies
and at home; (2) inspiring a desire for corre
spondence and composition; (3) making the
soldiers who returned home better business
men. The discipline of the army was car
ried into business life, thereby doing great
good.
