Farm Notes For The Ginseng Grower. Ab the culture of the plant is compar atively a new industry in the United States many mistaken ideas exist, and in many cases this has been brought about by unreasonable statements in regard to the plant and by inferior seed and roots sold by some gardeners, roots bo worthless that to make them grow was quite impossible. These con ditions have prejudiced many against ginseng. The culture of ginseng is a pleasant and paying industry. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, in his report issued November, 169S, makes the following statements as to the results of the experiments of the national government. The efforts of the department in encouraging the cultivation of giDBeng have met with gratifying success. An investigatioq of the subject was begun in 1S93 and a re port issued the following year. At that time the department announced the cultivation of the root as feasible, but could give no information as to the manner the cultivated would be received in the Chinese market. During the past four years, however, experiments in ginseng culture have cone steadily on The cultivated product has been marketed and the commercial status of cultivated American ginseng established. First-class cultivated roots dried have been selling during the past year at $5.50 to f6. The department, therefore fully indorses the cultivation of Ameri can ginseng as an additional resource of the American farmer. The following year this statement ap pears in the report of the department : The price of our native plant ginseng our exports of which average more than half a million dollars annually has more than quatkyspled in the past SO years, so that its cultivation, as urged four vears aco bv this department, has become now profitable.' Since the publication of the above re ports, higher prices have prevailed and the demand for the cultivated root has largely increased. The experiment stations of Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, have given the culture of the root a thorough trial and their bulletins show that they have met with much success and they, too advocate the cult ure of ginseng. These reports are relia ble and would be forind profiable and interesting to one who anticipates en gaging in the culture of ginseng. Ginsing will grow in a variety of Boils but a good garden soil is the best rich, loose and porous; if slightly mixed with a little sand and clay, all the better. Marshy land is not suitable. A north elope is best for protecting the plant from the hot rays of the sun. An east slope is next to be prefered, though it will grow readily in other situations Bnt, as in the case of other plants, the better suited the conditions are to the character of and nature of the plant, the greater probability of an abundant crop. It is essential that shade be provided for the plant (during the growing season). "We nse artificial arbors constructed of lath (some nse brush as a covering) From five to six years' growth will bring the root ready for market, from seed four years from 1-year-old roots, three years from 2-year-old roots. Only a email per cent of seed will germinate, or come up the first year; 18 months time required. That is to say that 1903 eeed planted this Spring will come up in Spring of 1905. Timely Hints on Alfalfa and Red Clover. Dairymen who have good cows should always provide good feed and enough of it in addition to good pastures. These things. are nice to have, but where they are short or insufficient, a field of red clover or alfalfa will make good feed, green or dry. One way of feeding is by mowing the alfalfa or clover, hauling it to the man gers or rack (the only safe way to feed it green.) I nse a bunching attachment to my mower; in this way I can cut and gather anything a mower will be able to cat. No rake is needed, the mower and attachment are alwaye ready for use. By having red clover and al falfa and may be some cow peas, or peas and oats, or other grasses, I can feed my herd from the middle of May nntil frost stops me. What is not used green is made into hay. Alfalfa is a very fast grower, makes full growth from four to six weeks, ac cording to the season. It is the xnos valuable feed I know of and all stock eat it readily. Some of the professors state "its value for feeding equal to wheat bran. I will not go so far as that be cause the conditions the professors handle the clover in and common farm practice may be different. The weather has also something to do with it. Al falfa is more difficult to cure; when well cured it is the most valuable hay for cows. Try to grow some this spring, The land should be well drained. It will not flourish on wet land so well; the richer the ground the better the crops. I sow in the spring, when dan ger of frost is past, with a light nurse crop at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds seed per acre. Daring the first year keep down the weeds with a mower. - lmbu year was very lavorable to my new sowing; I cut, bunched and fed a full growth of alfalfa, but this is not so every year and should not be practiced, Mow the weeds, clover and. alfalfa four inches above the ground, leaving it there as a mulch, unless it is an entire ly too heavy crop, in which case bunch and haul it off the ground. In 1902, 1 cut four fall crops of the second year's growth. Generally three crops and some late pasture is a good yearly yield. I do not pasture it with cows or sheep, as it will bloat them, bat Lorses and hogs do well on it. One of my neighbors sowed some alfalfa in September 1902; it stood the winter all right and made a good stand for 1903. This is the only piece I know of eown in the fall. I do not raise alfalfa seed owing to the weather being uncertain to save the seed, so I use it for soiling and hay. I do not know how long the al falfa will live without resowing. 1 had a field that was seven years old and still a goodtand, unlike the red clover with a life of two years. It will pay any dairyman to sow a (8 piece of land to alfalfa, the nearer to the stable tho handier. It will make j the beet kind of food for cows as well ns I the best paatuie for hogs 1 know of. j Jersey Bulletin. Cultivation of Durum, or Slitcn- roiil WlientH. The results of tho season of 1903, both on a commercial nasis ami irom mu landpoint of cultivation, in the devel opment of the durum wheat industry in this country have not only confirmed tho previous recommendations of the Department of Agriculture concerning this grain, but have made it still moie evident that it is a grain of the greatest alue for the semi-arid districts. The demand for both the wheat and flour, j included semolina for making macaroni ; during the winter has so increased that there is already practically little to be I obtained, and there has recently been a considerable increase in prices. So long, therefore, as the grain is grown where it should be, it will bo desirable to have a considerable increase in pro duction for the next year's crop and no doubt there will be. About 2,000,000, bushels of the 1903 crop have gone to Minneapolis, to tho Lake cities, or to foreign countries, and the remainder has been used at the local mills with th- ' exception of a comparative! small amount that has been sold for seed or fed to stock. These are actual statistics so far as thev can be obtained. On the basis of the consumption of the present crop and the evident increase in de-' maud, tho production of next year ought to be about 15,000,000 bushels, though it is practically certain now that tlia nrini rtf 1 1 Wi ix-ac nnt ca lnrt.n nil it , , , . . i was suppose,! to oe ai nrsi. It is important, however, to again ' emphasize the necessity of growing the 1 wheat strictly withinthe semi-arid dis-1 tricts. It is a necessity, both for the ' producer and the consumer. It will only yield heavily, compared with other grains, in such districts, and therefore be of greater financial profit to the farmer, and it is only the grain pro- .Inrcut n ttioco itidtrits ttiftt ?: nf tliA , . , ,. , i . i high quality cliaracteristic of this wheat. in a lormur puuiicauuu ui mia uejiai i- ; ment, Bulletin No. 3, Macaroni Wheats, I a map is given oi me area eaat ui huicii ...... - r i ,. 1 none ot this class ot wiieat should be sown, it is probable now mat tnis bett should be extended much farther west ward, almost to the Rocky Mountains, as we are finding constantly that the grain will grow with even less rainfall than we have been granting to it, and, on the other hand, the acreage in the eastern portion of this belt, particularly along the Red River of the North, and cast of the middle of the states of Ne braska to Texas, should be kept down to as low a figure as possible. The wheat eeems well adapted to those areas devoted to "drv farming" in Washing ton, Idaho, Utah, Oregon and other mountain and Pacific states, so long as the soil is not too greatly lacking in humus. It is important also for the farmer to note that the name ''durum" is likely to be largely used for this wheat instead of the term "macaroni" in future, espe cially in commercial circles, and it is necessary to become familiar with the j term. The word durum is re-illy the j correct name for this group of wheats, and besides it is now found that the name macaroni is misleading as the wheat is already known, from the re sults of many trials, to be excellent for making bread as well as macaroni. On the other hand, other kinds of wheat, as well as the durum, are olten used for making macaroni, although the durum certainly make the best product. The word durum means "hard" and is, therefore, very appropriate, and being a short, easy name it ought to come at once into nse. Finally, it is a repetition fully justi fied to call attention again to the argent need of the use of pure seed. It is a matter to be emphasized in sowing any kind of grain, but is particularly impor tant in this connection because of the great difference between the durum wheat and ordinary wheats, causing a mixture of these two to bo damaging to their commercial use more than in the case of mixing of other wheats with each other. The details of the matter need .not be gone over here, as the sub ject has been discussed both by the writer and others at various times and places, and the methods of purifying seod and keeping it pure are now pretty well known to all farmers. The recent circular distributed by the VanDusen Harrington Company, of Minneapolis, treating of this sublet is much to be commended. The writer has discussed .the matter very fully in an address be fore the recent Tri-State Grain Growers' Convention at Fargo, North Dakota, which address was published in several Northwestern papers, and also in anoth er address, "The Improvement of the Oat Crop," given at the last meeting of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture at Topeka. The matter of being ablo to use pure, clean grain of a known kind is of euch vast importance to tho miller and other commercial men, and yet to maintain pure seed can after all be eo easily carried out by the farmer that it is a perfectly justifiable thing to materi ally reduce the price of, or reject alto gether, any wagon load of wheat that comes to the elevator with a mixture of 15 to 20 per cent of some other grain or foreign seeds; and yet such a delivery of gram is one that often occurs. It is perhaps needless to add to this communication the statement that there is no seed of durum wheat for general distribution by the Department of Agri culture. There is already plenty of seed in the country to be obtained usually at a reasonable distance from the buyer which is being sold generally at a fair price. M. A. CARLETON, Cerealist, U. S. Depart, of Agriculture, Ralslajr Calve. It is not a very difficult thing to con vince the average farmer, even when prices for beef are low, that he ought to raise a steer calf. He falls into that rut as naturally as "falling of a log." But when the idea is put before him of making a business of rateing heifer calves nicely making a business, of do ing it to sell them as cows when two years old he shakes his head in doubt. It will cost about $12 to f 15 a year, al lowing market prices for fodder to raise a heifer to bo a cow. If tho farmer will show skill and taste, will raise all of one breed or another, and not ring-streaked and speckled, as many do he will have QtTl I T) mjTV mn TVTJ I mTT U Ixlll 1 LiU i V VULxLll, Help That Came Too Late. I !The Cnrisbrooke Castle, arrived in from the West Indies, reports picking up ! a raft with the body of an elderly man t who had evidently died of starvation. I There was no clue to the man's identity, , nor any marks to determine the origin. of the raft" In those few lines another clueless , mystery of old ocean was disposed of. There was nothing to marvel at that a man should die of starvation. Had he ! lived it would have been a real marvel 1 indeed. Or had he died of starvation surrounded by abundant food, that would j have been both a marvel and a mystery ; to the world at large. For the world at j large does not know that a great many I elderly people die of starvation in the I midst of plenty. They have food enough. but the stomach is "weak " and the food cannot be digested and converted into nutrition. The body grows weak as every ttarved bodv does. And at lost the lite & destrovea by some comniou nlace malady, which would have been easily thrown off by a well nourished IxMly. It is because death in such cases is at tributed to the trivial malady and not to the true cause starvation that there is no general appreciation of a common cause of disease and death among elderly people lack of nutrition. VIGOROUS OLD AGE depends upon the capacity to digest and assimilate food. Strength in age-has the same foundation as strength in youth food propcriy digcsted ad assimilated. There is no way to mare physical strength except from food. And when the won the stomach and "its allied organs, be cause of "weakness" or disease, cacnot convert the food into nclntioa, there is a loss of strength and vitality, which weakens the body and leaves :t practic ally powerless against the in rends r-f dis ease. If you want strength you mutt get it from food, and you can't get strength from food when there is dis ease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. The way to vigorous age then is to strengthen the stomach by curing the diseases 1.ich weaken it. This is done fcy lb.- use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical DiiOvery. "I suffered for six years with con stipation and indigestion, during which time I employed several physic aus, but they could not reach my casi," writes Mr. G. Popplewell, of Eureka Springs, Carroll Co., Ark. "I felt that there was no help for me; could not retain food on my stomach ; had vertigo and would fall helpless to the floor. Two years ago I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and little ' Pellets, and improved from the start After taking twelve bottles of the Dis covery ' I was able to do light work, and have been improving ever since. I am now in good health for one of my age 6o vears. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's medicines. " Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery M not ottered as a "cure-all.7' it does cure a great many different diseases, but a stndy of these cures shows that the no difficulty in feeiiiuc icoud, Hell marked thrifty heifers at any time In-fore cow hood at a remunerative price. To do this, he should use a little good selling wit. It is not enoogh to sit down and wait for a buyer. Use the columns of the papers to tell what you have to sell. In selling calves or heifers bred from bulls of pronounced dairy breeds, there is wisdom in using a taper that is read by dairy people. But it is astonishing what a difference in real cow power their is in heifers well reared, and those that are raised by average farmers in an average way. If ever it pays to bestow extra care, extra comfort, extra feed on a cow it is in the first year of her life. There is a good chance to make a good profit in the business of raising young heifers. - But it should be taken hold of rightly, not with the hodge-podge ideas so mauy men work under. 1. The farmer ehonld select some good dairy breed for the siro and stick to it. Then his calves will show eveness of typo and color, which goes a great ways with the buyer. Many farmers spoil the apttearance of their heifers by changing breeds too often. It is belter to stick to one line of breed ing. 2. The calf should be dropped in the fall, preferably in September or Oc tober. Then it will be Mrong and thrif ty when the Spring grass comes, and will bo ready to breed in January hen 15 months old. 3. It wilt help things greatly if a "half dozen neighbors wiil furm a pool, each pool or combination raising heifers of the name breed. Then when they are ready to soil, place an ad. announcing tli- fact of a car Und, soy of lino Guernsey, or Jersey, or Holtteiii, or Ayshiro yosng heifers for sale. Them oro plenty of buyers all the time, look ing for just such chauces. This system is being thoroughly tried in isolated cases all over the country. It is successful when it is thoroughly and intelligently taken hold of. Thore is just as much profit, and usually more, in raising a likely heifer for tho cow market as there is in raising a steer for the beef market. But such heifers must show unmi tably tho presence of good registered blood of the breed they belong to, if tiie buyer is to bo well impressed. In this way, the lover of any particular . breed can find the cattle he wants, and if the heifers are fine individually, which they should be, a purchaser is easily found. Hoard's. Harder than Brick. Joseph Henritri, of Chelan, Wash., has invented a new building material which he expects to manufacture at his uplake homo. It is as white as marble, can bo molded into any shapo, and isJ much stronger and tougher than 'brick, and will stand the ravages of thoj.de ments much better. He recently went a sample of it to the Washing. on Agricul tural College nt Pullman for a test as to its strength and durability, and it was found that it would stand a pres sure of 263 pounds to the square inch, or nearly 40,000 pounds to the square foot This artificial stono can be Manu facture I and laid for about o.-.e-balf what tho ordinary brick would cost. It various diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, blood, etc., cured by "Golden Medical Discovery," are diseases which had their origin in the disease of the stomach and fither organs of digestion and nutrition. When the cause of dis ease was cured in the stomach, the effects of the disease were curod ia the other organs. MEDICAT. FAtSR rRTEKtf)a. When a medicine is offered as " blood making" or "strength-giving," ask your self: Out of what is blood made and what is the source of physical strength? Blood may properly be said to le only digested food. 1-ood is the source of all strength when, by the digestive processes, it is converted into blood, which is the life of the body. No medicine can make a drop of blood. No medicine can give an Quncc of strength. Blood and strength must come from food, and the only sense in which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is called a blood making and strength -giving medicine is in that it cures the diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion, and enables the food eaten to 1e converted into the blood and nutrition ou which the life and strength of the body de pend. By this means it gives new life and new strength. " I take time to ask you to allow me to thank you for the good your medi cine has done me," writes Mrs. Francis Johnson, of Dresden, Pettis Co., Mo., Box 71. "I am more than glad to tell you I have better health now than ever before. After using three bottles of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, one of ' Favor ite Prescription and one vial of Dr. Pierce's Flcasant Pellets, I am strong and hearty. I have no more bad spells ; no more weakness. I feel like a new woman altogether. I could not have lived much longer in the condition I was in if I had not seen tliat advertisement just in time to save my life. Thanks to you, and I thank God for letting my eye look on your advertisement. I am con tinually telling my friends I would not have been living if it had not been for Dr. Pierce's medicines." What "Goldrn Medical Discovery" does for the disease! stomach in ad vanced life, h does for vouth and for men and women at every stage of life's progress, it mates the " weak " stomach strong. It enables the perfect diecstion and assimilation of food, so tliat the body is mode strong in the one possible way by food properly digested and per- xecuy assnnuaiec. FAR REACHING BENEFITS.

Bright Prospects for Oregon Mines. Those who have visited the Southern Oregon mining districts are enthusiastic in their description of their future crest ness. The last arrival from that section is W. J. Morris, formerly of ( ripple Creek, nnd he speaks in flattering terms of the rich deposits of gold that are to bo found there. To the Telegram he said : "I have seen the camp of Cripple Creek in its infancy and also at the zenith of its production, but I am firmly convinced that Bine River will equal if not surpass that camp in the production of gold in" the very near future, when it is taken into consideration that practi cally every opening in that section show good values of Jfree- milling ore. Within a very few year.- the people of Portland will toe an influx of mining men and investors that will rival the rush to Cripple Creek in 1800.

Best Cough .Medicine for Children When yon boy a cough medicine for small children yon want one in which yon can "dare implicit confidence. Yon want one that not only relieves but cures You want one that is unques tionable harmless. You want one that is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all of these con ditions. There is nothing so good for coughs and colds incident to childhood. It is also a certain preventive and cure for croup, and there is no danger what ever from whooping cough when it is given. It has been u-e4 in many epi demics of that disease with perfect suc cess. For sale by A. C. Marster & Co. Socialist County Convention. Notice ia hereby given that there will be held in the county courthouse, in the city of Hoseburg, on Saturday, the '23d day of April, 1004, beginning at the hour of 10 o'clock in the morning a mass lonvention of the socialist party, for the purpose of placing in nomination candi dates for the various county officers, to be voted for at the general election in June, IWi. All socialists are requested to attend. We would especially urge those from n distance, to make an effort to have their precincts represented. Done by order of tho Co. Committe, K. C Brows, Chairman. Cakl Hoffmn, Secretary. 22 Gwks Backed up by over a tliird of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a recora such ns no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever nttainrtl, the proprietors and linkers of Dr Tierce's favorite Prescription now feel fully wat ranted in offering to pay $500 in lejral money for any case of Leueotrhca, Female Weakliest, Protapsu. or Palling ot Womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Very often a married woman or youor girl docs not know who to turn to for ad vice in circumstances where she dislikes to talk with the family physician about deli cate tuatteia. At such times write to Dr. R. V. Fierce., chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of HuQalo, N Y., for free consultation and advice, and the same will be held as sa credly confidential. It Is foolish to consult women friends or persons without medical training. Dr. Pierce's Pavorlte Prescription con tains no alcohol. Is cntitely vegetable and was the first exclusively woman's tonic on the market It has sold more largely in the past third of a century than any other medicine for women. All other compounds intended for women only arc made with alcohol, or alcohol is a large coiupoiietit this alcohol injures the nerves. The little red corpuscles of the blood are shrunken by alcohol. All such compounds, therefore, do harm. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. Use i.utn with the "Favorite Prescription " when a pill Is required. One Is a laxative, two, mild cathartic.
