" TJm..cnItivation.of sorghum is very much like that of corn, buttho charac teristics of the plant admit of varying method?, and in .sotms..xespects require diirerent tieatment. Solium is a semitropical plant, and requires warm weather to develop it. The mistake is often niado of planting it too early. l!e fore or not later than corn was the practico of a few years ago. Generally the result of this was a very poor stand and what plants came up mado slow ! growth and the weeds and grass choked I them out. The seed should nnvpr tm them out. The seed should never bo planted until the ground is thoroughly warm, as at the best it isquito delicate to terminate. Kalhr corn has received tho name of being more so than tho common borghuuiN. We have seen it planted the middle of May and followed by a heavy cold rain 1 and less than 10 iter cent of tho scud came up. Seed from the feline bin planted in like way over three weeks later gave an excellent stand, and matured a great crop)before frost. Shal low planting will help germination much ; half as deep as for corn is a good depth. The early growth is very slow and the plants tender, hence the neces sity of having tho ground free from weeds nt time of planting. A great ad vantage of the sorghums over corn for forage is that they admit of close plant ing. Corn can not be sowed with good results-. The growth of the foliage is too dense and makes the plants watery and will contain little nutriment. Besides it lodges very easily when planted this way, and dry weather will kill is quick On the other hand, sorghum will ad mit of close drilling and produce a full gram crop, anil with thick heeding will make excellent hay. As a hay crop a yield ot two to four ton? is not unusual tor this the quanity of eeed sown on an acre should bo varied Mine, to suit the conditions, but in most case, if broad casted, one bushel ill be sufficient, and, if drilled, three pt-cks. If grain is wanted, drill the rows far enough apart to admit of cultivation, so as to produce the largest ield of grain. To give the maximum yield of grain the rows should not be farther apart than 3 feet and maybe a cIomj 35215, and the stalks should W from 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. This applies more closely to such a variety as red kaffir corn, as in rich soil some of the ranker-growing will lodge when planted this close. Beatuy Don'ts for the Stomach. Don't eat when very tired, if yon ex pect to get any good from your food, and preserve your beauty. Don't eat more than one hearty meal a dav. When you are exhausted, in stead of eating, lie down for ten or twenty minutes. Don't eat more than one hearty meal. This is the secret of good looks, health and long life a secret which, if every one followed'thc doctors would not make a living. Don't eat much meat in hot weather if you would keep your skin free of eruptions. Don't eat hot or fresh bread, if yoa want to be healthy and beautiful. Don't eat cold starchy foods, like po tato salad and cold jorridge, unless vou have strong digestive organs. Don't eat ice cream too fast. Eaten slowly and allowed to melt in the mouth, it can do no harm to either stomach or complexion. Don't drink iced water. It kills more persons than strychnine does. Cool water quenches thirst much better than ice-cold fluid. Don't drink much water at meals, but j take a glassful tho first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, if you want peach-blow cheeks. Don't drink too much coffee or tea un-1 less you waut a complexion like leather in color and texture. Don't drink sparkling waters and un sweetened lemonade, if you want to gain I flesh. They act directly on fattv tissue. Don't eat potatoes, peas, macaroni cream, olive oil, pastry and bonbons, if you want to lose flesh. Don't go to bed hungry. A glass of milk, or a cup of chocolate, will refresh you. Don't think you can cat loo much spin ach, lettuce, watercress, dandelion and carrots. They are splendid comnlexion bcautifiers. Don't stuff a cold, lest you bo obliged to starve a fever. Don't cat merely to tave food. Over eating will give you a" red nose and a sal low complexion. Painting and Paper Hanging.

Smead V. b., Bay8; - - Many'cattlo annually die from bloat (typanlttSQ-tiot alone from alfalfa, but from other classes of food, which need not dio if the owner kept in readiness somo remedy which could bo laid hands upon at any moment when needed, and SI ,1 t t . ..... u iiiu owner nau simply a little gump tion and tho courage to use it. Ah a medicinal agent, none is known better than carbonate of ammonia. Have the druggiit weigh up several half-ounco quantities ol it, and put up in eeparate packages well wrapped in paper. Then put these packages in a fruit can and fasten the cover down tightly. When ever a cow or other cattle is found bloat ed put one of the powders in a pint of cold water and pour down the animal, keeping. tho mouth open with a piece of woodiw inchc in diameter, used as a bit in the mouth. If not relieved in fif teen minutes, givo another dose. This will cure perhaps five out of every six cases. But if the animal is severely bloated and liable to die before the remedy can be administered, than tapping must be rpsnrtoit in lvirv furmur finl M-nrp farmer bov ten vears old vea the farm-! er'i wife and daughter should be taught to tap a bloating cow. It h a very simple thing to do. In tho ab sence of a trocar, a pockctknife can be used. The place to insert the knife or the trocar (and of tho latter erery farmer who keeps cattle should own one they cost but little) is on tho left side, and never any where else ; about half way between the point of the hip and the last rib, and six inches from the back bone. Insert the knife or trocar at an angle Uiat would come out, if long enough, just forward of the udder on the right side. Then no mistake will be made, as the rumen (paunch) will be punctured every time. Manv insert the knife nearly in a horizontal line, and omers too pcrienaicuiar1 ana as a tv milt no pag is let out, as they do not puncture the rnnien. Always use a blade, when a knife has to be Hi-ed, fully two inches lone and not less than a half inch wi.e three fourths is K-tter. The. trocar has the advantage, as a till' is left in to allow the gas to e.satpe, when if the knife is used a larger puncture has to lw made, and frequently the cut will become filled with food. I ay every farmer should own a trocar and know how to tap cattle, as I have known so many cattle to die before a veterinary could be got, or even a neighbor who owned a trocar could bo hunted up to do the work. Almost any dnteist can pro cure for yoa a trocar of instrument makers whom he lias dealings with. The Man Who Do- s Things. The arguments that our Democratic friends arc patting up against Binger Hermann only demonstrate the weak ness of their candidate. The Republican nominee is assailed with the accusation that he has held of fice 18 years, 12 years of which he spent in congress. This is a good argument for Hermann. None better could be made. Twelve years in Congress is a fin rec ommendation for a candidate. His long service there places him in a position of obtaining important commit tee places, where ho is able to do some thing. No one ever accused Binger Her mann of being a lazy man. His long congressional record ia full of action. When he was in Washington he work ed liard to obtain appropriations for Oregon and succeeded. The state must have a man who can accomplish something. Binger Her mann is that man. Young Mr. Reames, of Jacksonville, may be a good man. He may be an honest man. He is district attorney of a judical district in Southern Oregon. He has lots of friends but has not so many as Hermann. He is unquestion ably an able man in his own sphere. A vote for Dinger Hermann is a vote for Oregon. A vote for Binger is a vote to help along the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Remember these things on the First of June.

New Theory Regarding Cancer For many months a nnmbor. of well kpown bacteriologists nud.toxfcoIogistH', ns8isted.by many medical ElndentH. and othoriHjraons, of Hew. York. .City, . have oeea striving to discover, tho cause- of cancer and cancerous erowths. Thrs workers in research fields aro identified with the Cornell university medical col lege, ana tiieir investigations as to tho cause of cancer have been made in the clinics aud laboratories in that city of that school. In a few days tho results of the investigations so far made will probably lw fully revealed in a paper written by Dr. Bertram II. Buxton, the well-known bacteriologist and general cm-mini.. 1 ins pajier win contain, ac cording to a trustworthy source, the cheerful menage that tho cause of can cer has at last been discovered, and that this truth haa been proved to the satis faction of a number of men who stand high in tb.e science of medicine. Briefly, the investigaU'ous have re vealed : 1. That cancer is due to the chemis try of the blood. 2. That every part or tissue of a can cer has the lower of producing fermen tation. 3. That in its nowere of causin? fer mentation, the cancerous tissues are akin to the tissues of the stomach. 4. That by proving this theory, the theory that cancer was due to a parasite was disproved. The first steps of the investigators was lo find the canse for the disease. Now that they have what is the origin of cancer, they will undoubtedlv use everything within their means to find how to avert or core the disease. Ac cording to the informant. Dr. Buxton, when he became assured that cancer de veloped from certain chemical changes in the blood, tKik up the work of find ing a cure. It is said that he has a! ready found a care for sarcoma, a kind of cancer, and that this core is the in jection of ervMpelas into the blood of the sufferer.

Guard. Valley Wool Growers Combine. The Plai.vdealer has received the following with a request to publish the same in the interest of Douglas county wool growers: "Plans are now being formulated to combine the entire wool clip of the Willamette Valley. Wools will be graded and baled to meet trade' require ments and shipped cirect to Eastern mills, saving all middlo profits. It is estimated under the new method ot sell ing that it will add to tho profits of the growers over f 100,000 in profits now go ing into the hands of tho middlemen une 01 mo largest wool warenouses m Portland has been secured and is bein: fitted up with baling machinery and grading tables. When wools are all in shape for market, sale will be advertised in the East and then sold under sealed bids. Having several million pounds together and being properly packed, it will warrant Eastern mills sending out their buyers to buy direct from the range. The largest grower in tho Val ley, S.
