CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggist, price "Re. Take Hall's Family Tills for constipation. The Eugene Commercial Club lias begun an agitation for lower freight rates on merchandise Into that city and lower rates on produce out. feed to make tho complete animal. Just as It requires different kind of cultivation to make the perfect crop. "In this section of Oregon, thcto are magnificent opportunities uir raising all the forage crops In the highest excellence. Your Irrigated districts arc tlTe most wonderful in the West. All the countless kinds of diversified feedstuffs will grow here and the feeding of stock will Increase in Interest and profits as you come to recognlso the valuo o'. diversity. Value of Diversity. "As an lnstanco of the vnlu eof di versity of feed, I saw two carloa.ls of fat cattlo from this district un loaded In the Portland slaughter house last winter. One of tho car loads had been fed straight alfalfa, the other a mixture of alfalfa and barley. Those fed the mixture of barley with alfalfa, dressed 60 per cent beef, while those fed on straight alfalfa dressed but 53 per cent. Tho first carload had filled out In every part and carried all tho beef that It was possible to get on their frames. "You people do not appreciate ful ly the possibilities of this district. Tho dry-land alfalfa will grow on your hill soli. It does not requlro so much water as sunshine. It will grow abundantly with a good supply of oxygen from tho air. It needs on ly cultivation to hold the moisture that Is necessary at the rootB. It does not need so much water as light and air and sunshine, and culti vation. You should sow a cereal crop with it to protect the young plants. Just cut this cereal crop and let It lie on the ground the first year to keep the' hot sun from burning tho plants and to hold the moisture In tho ground. "As tho alfalfa takes root and strengthens, and becomes fixed In tho soil, It will draw vitality from the air, and add to tho soil, and be come a perpetual storehouse for soil energy. "I am glad to see tho Btigar beet coming Into the Echo district. Tho Irrigating ditch and sugar beet aro the strongest missionaries of tho Mormon. They have made tho Mor mon tho champion agriculturist of the great American desert. The su gar beet will enrich your land. It will furnish employment for your idle men, women and children, and is a diversified crop that makes soil richer year by year. "One thing that must bo changed in Oregon Is the practlco of flooding alfalfa. You aro using too much water. It requires moro sunshine, and less flooding. Cultivate it, in stead of flooding It. Harrow it over and cut up the soil, and hold tho moisture at tho roots, instead of killing it out with surface drowning. "Alfalfa alono is not a com plot o ration. In Idaho they are sowing rye grass with it, to make It moro effect ive In fat and milk producing, It must have assistance In filling out the animal. Thero must tie a mix ture of Ingredients to finish the ani mal for beef." Questions on Feeding. Dr. Hutchinson then Invited ques tions, and tho period at which alfal fa should bo cut, for the best feeding results was discussed, Mr. Brownell asked: "At what nerlod Bhould tho first crop on new land bo cut?" Dr. Hutchinson answered: "Just as tho bloom first makes Its bluo tint seen beforo the flower has burst out. It should bo cut Just as early as possible after the bloom Is form ed and beforo it bursts out. It Is a good plan to cut the first crop and leave It lying on the ground to pro tect tho roots of the young plants." Question: "Should alfalfa bo cut at certain stages for special pur poses?" Answer by Dr. Hutchinson: "Ni trogen is tho essential fat and milk producer and this Is at Its highest In tho plant Just beforo tho bloom bursts. Therefore, for either fat or milk puriioscB, It Is best to cut it Just before the bloom opens out In full. Tho conditions of tho weather, of course, changes tho time at which you shouli cut It, and also changes tho feed value of the crop, no mnt tor nt what stage of growth you may cut It." Question: "Which crop is best for fat producing, and which for young stock?" Answer by Dr. HutchliiBon nnd Prof, French: "Thero Is no difference In tho feed values of tho different crops. Tho second crop having more coarse straw Is better for calves, lie cause they demand moro bulk In feed, and tho second crop contnlns more fibre. Tho third crop is least valuable of any of them, as It Is usually Improperly cured and has less strength. Fat and milk require the samo properties and, therefore, there Is no difference In the crops for cither of theso purposes." F. S. Oramwell's Address. F. S. Drnmwcll, field superintend ent of tho m Orando sugar fnctory, who has charge of tho beet crops at Echo, was then Introduced, and made a few pointed remnrks which wero received with hearty applnUBo. Mr. Ilrnmwell snld: "Echo Is un folding. Tho growth will como faster than you rcaltie. If you diversify your crops nnd make n demand for now pooplo to fill your fields and "gar dens. You must mako a demand for people before pooplo will como to your town, nnd you will not Induce new people to como hero by raising airnlfa. You must Introduce now crops, and create a labor market, so tho word will go out to tho world that Echo needs people to do her work. "Under the one-crop system, your land has now reached the zenith of Its virtue Thero Is no possibility of alfalfa mining advancing tho prices of your Innd. You must grow some thing thnt will furnish employment to peoplu, to Induce settlers to come, nnd then your land values will soar. Tho sugar beet and thn berry patches, tho fruit and garden Industry must bo Introduced to mako a demand for settlers and this set tlement will advance your land values. "You nro using 100 times moro water In this district than they uso In Utah. You aro drowning out your airnlfa nnd destroying tho llfo of your land by using too much wa ter. If you wish to ruin your nl falfa fields and destroy tho soli values of your Innd, Just continue to uso tho dyking system of Irrigating. It causes your alfalfa to turn yollow. (Coocluded on pago 6.) Woman's Nightmare No woman's nappl ness can be complete without children ; it is her nature to 1ot and want them as much so as it is to lovo tho beautiful and pure.

There is no necessity for the reproduction of life to bo either painful or dangerous. The use of Mother's Friend so prepnres the system for the coming event that it is safely passed without any danger.
