It is ex plained that the Great Northern Kallway is now selecting five acre tracts on farms alonz its lines, paying the owner for his labor and giving him the cron on conditions that he tills those acres exactly as directed. It is expected that the contrast be tween the product of those acres and others carelessly and unsci entitically tilled by the farmer and his neighbors will serve as an object lesson of value. The soundness of the contention is not to be doubted. As a mat ter of fact it has already been proved by actual experiment. tiri i u i . . vvuy unuuia not every state, in cluding the slate of Oregon. maintain -such a farm as Mr. Hill suggests in every county? Mil lions of state funds are expended every year in this country for ess worthy purposes. More over we should not forget at any time that the best progress we can make is in the promotion of that policy which will turn public attention more to the till ing of the soil. The more profit able we make that occupation, considered as a whole, the more effective will such a policy be come. The whole subject, as James J. Hill presents it, is prac tical, and it ought to receive the careful consideration of agricult ural authorities in every state. Telegram. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured "I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorka, tho merchant here, persuaded mo to try a bottlo of Chamberlain's Colic, Chotera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. It also cured others that I gave it to," writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual.

Hudson Land Company The Dalles, Oregon The requsites of the farmer's garden are; that it furnish a con stant supply of fresh vegetables from late spring until winter: that the vegetables produced be of sufficiently hardy nature tore . . ? 1111 it m quire nine pampering , as we all know that the ordinary farmer has not the time to give especial attention to his garden altho he could well afford to give more time than he ordinarily does. In planting, put your rows far enough apart to allow cultivation with the horse cultivator; a gard en that has the rows so close that they require hand hoeing often presents rather a neglected condition. It might be well to add here thai when you use the horse cultivator, you ordinarily plant a garden larger that you otherwise woiild and we seldom ever see too large a garden, if well kept. This will of neces sity require the selection of garden site that is accessable to teams and tools. To have the best garden one re quires a hot bed to start the early varieties of vegetables. To make this bed, dig a trench the width of the bed that will hold two feet of closely packed horse manure and nine inches of soil. Have your frame on a south ex posure and have the lower board not more than ten inches above, he surface and the rear board six inches higher. This wil give you the proper slope for your glass. Frames may be pur chased especially constructed for his purpose or windows may be used in their place. Seeds are not sown in the bed for about six day after their prep aration. The later part of March or early in April would be the time to sow seed in the hot bed.

This screen may be of burlap or cloth nailed on to a slight frame. Vegetables that should be grown are radishes, carrots, turnips, table beets, parsnips, rutabagas, peas, beans, onions, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, and celery. Early potatoes and sweet corn as well as pumpkins and squashes should be included in this list. There are numerous varieties of the various root crops, almost ;any of which will be fairly suc cessful here. For peas, any of the earlier varieties will do for first early . For medium later, Dwarf Telephone is very desir able pea-while Little Gem, York shire Hero, are later heavy yield ing sorts. For beans, try early maturing sorts as Burpee's Stringless Green Pod, Snugfel- low, Golden Wax, Early Snug Six Weeks. For early Jersey, Bake field, is a good variety while numerous of the later do well. juxtra ujariy uwari JUriurt is a desirable cauliflower producing five white heads. Of the Onions, Oregon Yellow Denvers is one of the best. A succession of lettuce may be planted, any var iety does well. Several sowings of radishes may also be made. For celery, White Plume arid Golden Self Blanching are good varieties. I you wish to try tomatoes, use Earliana. For sweet corn, Poenontas and Metropolitan are of the larger growing var ieties and Golden Bantam of the smaller varieties. Any of the early potatoes may be used. Few of the Lady Finger may be grown as they are especially de sirable for baking. In a, general way may say that early gardens mav be planted about the middle of April, beans, etc., after the middle of May. Do not be afraid to thoroughly fertilize your garden spot, for it will pay you many times over with crisp fresh vegetables this coming summer, thus adding much to the joy of living and also to the attractiveness of your place.

AUTOS HAVE NOT SUPPLANTED HORSES Latter Have Inoreaaed Wonderfully In Number, Quality and Cash Value Periodically during the last ten years statements similar to that credited to Charles Schell, president of the National Harness Manufacturers' Association, in opening its twenty sixth annual convention in New York the other day, have surprised owners of automobiles, lovers of the horse, and the public in general, What Mr. ScheJl said, in effect, was that there are more horses in this country now than ever and that they are commanding just as high prices as formerly. He added that there is just as great a demand for harness as there ever was; in fact, he said, the manufacturers have sold GRAND OPENING Fall and Winter Milli inery Tuesday Wednesday Odtober 1 and 2 A New Importation Kletropolhan Styles Mrs. Isa E.

Accord ing to a report prepared last year by O. P. Austin, chief of the United States Bureau of Statis tics, the horses in the country in 1850 numbered 4,336,719; in 1880, 11,201,800; in 1900, about the time the automobile was coming into general use, 13,537, 524; ten years later, when the number of automobiles in use had been multiplied many times over, Z1,U4U,UUU. That is today during the period in which the automobile was making its first great strides into popular favor, the number of horses in the Unit ed States increased by about 8,000,000. More striking still are the census figures with re gard to the value of horses and colts. In 1900 this was placed at $1,250, 000, 000 ;in 1910 it was placed at $2,076,297,828, or an j m increase in tne decade oi over $800,000,000. One striking and pleasing fact, generally admitted by those who are students of the situations, is that the horses of the country are- improved in 1?J Ti ' 1 quainy. it is regarded as a strange fact that the number and value of the horses should be greater now than before the auto mobile was introduced, but it is only necessary to consider the size and needs of the country and the output of automobiles up to date in order to realize that this is not so remarkable after all. At the present time more than 20,000,000 horses would have to be replaced before the motor could be in absolute monopoly. Breeder and Sportsman. white star in forehead, branded O. X. on left hip.
