Barker & Co. i Another grant of 2G50 square miles of territory has been acquired by the new German colonizing syndi cate in the state of llio Grande de Sul, Brazil. With the concessions al ready in their hands, the Germans now own more than 12,000 square miles of South Brazil land, and area larger than Saxony and Alsace-Lorraine combined. The new concession consists of forest lands running par allel with the River Taquary. It is proposed to divide the district into 17,000 small farms and to build a railroad 181 miles in length. To hasten the development of the new district and to connect it with the other "German colonies" north of the Rio Grande, the most Germanized soil in South America, which contains 250,000 Germans, one-quarter of the population, is declared to be the ob ject of the new project. Like similar schemes in Braxil, it is meant to divert emigration from the United States and to colonize the land with settlers who "will remain Ger man." German Southwest Africa, now in rebellion, became a German colony in 1SS4 through the assertion of German sovereignty over private territorial concessions owned by Bre men merchants.

Stock raising is becoming an im portant Alaskan industry, and with in a very few years it is probable that regular shipments of cattle for export will be made. The extensive areas of rich growths of grass and the absence of storms in the winter make many sections of the country ideal places for ranching. The win ters of Alaska are more hospitable than those of the great plains of Wyoming, Montana and some parts of Nevada, and in the dead of winter horses and cattle can be worked without fear of being frozen. The temperature frequently is very coki, bat there are no storms. Several large stock growers of Washington state are planning to convert the Aleutian islands into vjwt cattle and sheep ranges, which will surpass in extent the rapidly dimin ishing ranges of Montana and Texas. One company has begun the shipment of 25,000 sheep and 5000 head of cattle to the Aleutians, n first con signment of S000 head of sheep hav ing recently been sent from San Francisco. The company had dem onstrated previously that sheep will thrive there, living throughout the winter solely on the grass of the is lands, by having landed 1000 head there about a year and a half ago.

There is no danger in dehorning young calves; in fact they do not suf fer any more than they would from any little skin wound. By all means every dairymen and fanner should follow this method, any time when the calf is from 2 days to 1 week old. Take a pair of shears and remove the hair from around the horn. Buy a stick of caustic potash at a drug store, which will cost 5 cents. Care should be taken that this is kept in a well-corked bottle. Around this stick wind a piece of paper so it can be held in the hand. Dip one end in a ittle water, then rub the horn with the same until the thin skin is re moved. Then the work is done. It is not necessarv to remove the nub of the horn, as this will cause bleed ing. After this is done it would be well to wipe the affected part with a soft cloth and apply a little lard. This will stop further eating of the potash. Care should be taken that none of the potash gets in the calf s eye. I fol lowed this method for years in Texas and found that it worked perfectly and that the dehorned cattle were very gentle and far easier to manage than cattle with horns. Momhers of the House committee on imliciai v are exnoctinir the live liest kind of a contest between labor organizations and employers when the anti-injunction bill comas up for con sideration. Appearances indicate thai many disputed points which have arisen between employers and organ ised labor will be fought out in Con gress this winter over this measure. The bill passed the House in the last Congress, bat failed of consider ation in the Senate. The interest manifested in the measure is shown by the fact that President Compere of the federation of labor has made several trips to the committee urging speedy consideration, and Judge Jen kins, chairman of the judiciary com mittee, has received scores of letters from manufactures and employers of labor on a large scale protesting against the legislation. The employers aeem to be aroused to protest against the measure by let ters and petitions, and they assert that if Congress passes the bill an encouragement will be given to strik ers among employes, which will great ly cripple all business that is carried on in interstate trade. There is not complete unanimity among the laboring men regarding the bill as it was pending last year, bat as the purpose of the measare is to limit the meaning of the word conspiracy in the criminal courts and also to prevent the use of restraining orders and injunctions by the courts in certain cases, by making it lawful for combinations of men to do what an individual might do, the force and effect of the legislation is manifest. Hearings on the message will goon be ordered by the committee. Horace (tape. Early Spring Work on Trees. gSamc Old irrepressible Conflict. Betoro the Democratic national con vention of 1890 that party waa at an ex tremely low ebb. It had been over whelmingly defeated in a laree majority of the states. Business was stagnant and labor largely idle. Under these circumstances the Democratic party, thoroughly discredited in its policies and its administration, went into a fusion with the Populists and put a new leader at the front. This standard bearer, AV. J. Bryan, polled the largest vote ever g'uen a Democratic candidate for the presidency, but also brougbt out tho largost vote on the other side. In the popular vote tho Republican lead waa greatly increased. Again tho com bination was tried in 1000, but, though the Democratic vote wa9 again over 0,000,000, the gap against it was widened. The more than a million Populists who njl the Democratic party hi 1800 and 160 rtill left it in a minority of from 000,000 to S00.000. A large number of Democrats now wiint to drop Bryan as a leader and go into a procosa which they call "revis ion." The party revieed itself into Populism, ami now it is projosed by gome of it leading adviser that it be revised back to whore it was before the fusion of 1SWJ. As that was a time when the party waa discredited and its fortuned were desperate, the idea is without practical force, lite Democrat ic party was divided against iteolf eight years ago and is in the s.tme condition now. lUivision of such jarring elements : it impossible. Bryan declines to be re-' vised, lie is certainly not tbe weather- j cock in the case. He has been consist ent in bis party course, as well as in his political fallacies. Since the hard times following the misfortune of 1S02 the Democrats have agreed to disagree, and they are further now than ever from u common basis of action. The battle among themselves, which has been go- in on for eight years, must be fought to a finith.

Al though progressive men, tho general passenaer agents who were on the trip were amazed to learn that the Illinois Central now practically has a double tract system all tbe way between Chicago and Now Orleans and a rock ballasted roadbed with few grades and curves which is capable of accommodating an enormous volume of traffic. They were also surprised at the phenomenal com mercial and industrial awakening which the South is experiencing, and they will spread the news rc yarding both facts for months to come.

Correspondence elicited Protecting Orchards Against Frost. go to THE ROSELEAF for CIGARS, TOBACCO HMD S7UIOICERS' SUPPLIES, Jackson Street, - - Roseburg, Oregon A Wonderful Experience. Each succeeding year demonstrates tbe value of rape as a forage crop in Oklahoma. This crop makes a rank, succulent growth on good rich soil and is pastured oiF while green or is cut and fed from day to day as a soiling crop. Rape is sown from the first of March until the last of May and sometimes later. The ear lier seedings are the most successful, since toe crop us not injured by frosts, and when sown early it gets well-rooted before dry weather. When well established it withstands dry weather very well and the crop sown in the spring will furnish feed until hard freezes come in the winter, if the crop is cultivated, pastured and cut,properly. Late summer and fall seeding has usually been a failure at the experiment station at Stillwater. If the forage is wanted only for spring and early summer use, the seed may be broadcasted, but if it is needed for summer and fall the seed should be drilled in rows IS to 30 inches apart, so that cultivation may be given and the surface of the soil may be kept loose. The tramping of the ground by stock may be dimin ished to some extent by turning them on the rape patch for a short time twice a day. If rape is cut for soiling purposes, it should not be cut closer than 4 inches from the ground or the plants will not start up quickly. If the growth gets ahead of the stock and becomes stale and old, it should be mowed and then a fresh growth will start. At times stock, especially hogs, refuse to eat rape growing on a certain patch. The reason for this is not known. Many trying the crop for the first time have concluded that it was not satisfactory. Probably if the rape had been grown elsewhere, or in some other season, this trouble would not have been experienced. The cost of the seed is a small item, about 8 to 10 conts per pound. When drilled in rows 30 inches apart irom l to z pounds ot seed per aero are required. Perfect Confidence. "Block the Limited. There's a man on the cowcatcher." This message, flashed along the Penn sylvania line, toki the story of a railroad accident just outside of Chicago last Thursday which nearly cost a man's life and which trainmen say was almost unprecedented in their experience. John liancrow, while crossing the trucks in Park Manor, was caught from hi feet, hurled in the air, recaught on Utv cowcatcher, and while the train The heating of air by means of small lire scattered a boot through orchards or fields hae bean Ion ml a vetr effective protector against frost in the drier parts ; of California. Oa iunions devise lor the same purpoe. de-tpnd by 5. F. Ditxler, consist of a large, deep sheet iron tank, 3 or 4 feet square, mounted on a truck. A boo: 5 inches from hot torn of tha tank is admitted a blast of air. This is produced by a revolving fan operated by a sprocket chain and wheel attaclied to the truck. A water cask and force pump complete the outfit. Tar or otlier fuel is placed on the grate and ignited, and the tank is filled with wet straw or msnne. The blast of the fan blows it into an intense fire, all the heat of which hasto pass through 3 feet of wet straw before it can reach the air. Naturally Ihe evaporation is very active, and the vapor, rising from tho wet ma terial, immediately condenses, forming a dense for or mist. As the machine is driven backwards and forward between the rows of tree wnter is continually pumped from the auk and scattered over the fuel. Tbe machine is said to evaporate 100 gallons of water an boor. Often this artificial fog is so dense that the driver has to go forward and lead his horsos. ! C A S H ! jUWfi AND HIDE CO.

Die Zeit, a newspaper published in Vienna, continues to warn Europe against the "Great American maritime octopus which, in the matter of annexa tion of vast territories, exceeds Russia's example in Eastern Asia." "P.mama," insists Die Zeit, "is a meinhcr of the Union no less than 11- snois or Wisconsin, and her president is no more than Koosevelt s business manager." 'The great maritime octopus, after swollowinp the big islands in the gulf of Mexico, has now taken hold of tho South American continent and will never release it." It is now time to get out into the orchard and swipe the trees with tho winter washes to kill the eggs and nits of insects so destructive in tho growing season. The rough bark should first be scraped oft", after which apply the following wash: Resin 30 pounds; caustic soda, 75 per cent, 9 pounds; fish oil, 4i pints; water to make 100 gailons. Boil the resin, soda and oil until thoroughly dissolved. Then boil for three hours, during which time hot water should be added slowly, so as not to stop the boiling, until the whole is diluted to fifty gal lons. The other fifty gallons may then he added cold. The resin wash is valuable in destroying scale insects in dry season, and root lice, root mag gots and white grubs.
