People are frequently scarcely aware of the value and convenience of certain fhinffs until tbese same thines are lost or with-heM. To illustrate: the evening rinpers from Portland failed to reach Corvallis, Wednpsdav eveni.nr, and as a result there wa many a disappointed fnee in the postoflRe, yesterday morning. The dailv papers are taken as a matter of course, and their real value is appreci ated only when they fail to arrive. Recognition of ability comes slowly at the best, sometimes never, and when it does come it ehonld be encouraging to the person most concerned and pleasing to his friends. George L. Paul, for years a Corvallis boy, now a professor of elocu tion and dramatic art in the Western Academy of Music, Portland, was on the program of the Knights of Pythias of this citv, a few evenings ago. The general verdict, even among those who In the past, were disposed to friendly criticism of his work, was that he is now si-nply fine and merits recognition among the best in his line, fcot one among those who heard him the other evening has aught but praise for his voice, delivery and command of his art in general. "Nothing succeeds like success" and George has a g'-od grip on success. One of the subjects discussed and ad vocated by the prominent speakers in attendance at the Y. W. C. A. conven tion in this city last week was the es tablishment of a "rest room." The ladies sought to interest Corvallis wo men in the project, and pointed out the benefits to be derived . from "such are Sort. It is possible that' this litttle agi tation of the subject may. result in such a room being fitted up, where women from tbe country may find a place to rest, eat their lunch, attend to their' babies and make themselves generally at home when in town for a day Not only this, many a shopper, residing in town would be very thankful for the privilege of such a room, and the Idea certainly has much to recommend it to public attention in case the local "V ladies undertake such a task. - u An exchange says that the other day a merchant happened to see a farmer re ceiving some goods from the depot and noticed they came from a mail' order house. He noticed also that the goods were right in his line and the same be had carried for years. He immediately approached the farmer and said: "I could have sold you every article yon bave there for less money than you paid the Chicago house and saved yon the freight besides." "Then why in the devil didn't you do so," answered ' the farmer. "I have taken two local papers for a year and haven't seen a line about yon selling these goods. This mail or der house sent advertising matter to me asking for my trade and they got it. If you have any bargains why don't yon bave them put in the papers so we could see what they are?" This ended tbe argument and the merchant went oat to orrsl ether merchants who never adver tise and explain to them that the mail rder house was mining their bonnes. Mrs. J.

LaFolIette. The management of the Cor vallis Lyceum Course takes pleasure in calling attention to the fifth and concluding number 01 tne season's course, a lecture by Senator Robert LaFolIette, at the opera house, Tuesday evening April 23. Senator LaFolIette is a re matkable man. Born in a log cabin ia Wisconsin he stands to day, second only to President Roosevelt as our most conspicu ous and poteut exponent of civic reform and political purity. He is bright, brainy and a fighter, a "little giant" intellectually, a powerful magnetic speaker, a born orator and an orator with a mission. Since his first advent into the political arena La Fol lette has fought, has fought cor ruption,' lought jobbery fought ana lost, ana lought again. Whether one agrees with him or not "one must admire his courage, his integrity, his unquestionable character and his dogged tenacity to hght tor what he believes is right.

Verdict for Dr. Pierce AGAINST THE Ladies' Home Journal. Sending troth after a lie. It is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting its boots on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce and his " Favorite Prescription " published In the May (1904) number of the Ladies' Home Journal, with its great black dls play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with its incon spicuous heading, published two months later. It was boldly charged in the sland erous and libelous article that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohoi and other harmful ingredi ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit against the puMishers of the Ladies' Hame Journal, for 4200,000,00 damages. Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, the editor, maliciously published the article containing such false and defamator; matter witjr ths intent of injuring his businessrlurthermore, tb" t no alconol. 01 other Rijurious. or habit-forming, drugs vere, contained in his "ca iption"; that said medicine m native medicinal roots and no harmful ingredients whaV id that Mr. Bok's malicious state- were wholly and absolutely false. neretraction pniifn nvsain -ipnr i3j they were fcrcocTto acknowledge that t.hy had oht,a.lnSl" nalvsea of" Favorite i-'re- Wiitim rirt.'

The matter was, hc-r-ever brought before a jury in the Supreme Court of New York State which promptly rendered a verdict In the Doctor's favor. Thus his tradurers came to grief, ana tasil base slanders were refuted, THE SEPARATOR. If Properly Handled It Will Prove Splendid Investment. Every progressive dairyman should have a hand separator. You can then give the calves fresh sweet skim milk. It is expensive to feed calves on whole milk, especially , when you can sell the butter for 25 cents per pound and sup ply the fat taken from the milk by oil meal or oil cake at a few cents per pound. From the other side, the separator is certainly a splendid Investment as a labor saver. It is also valuable as a means of getting all the butter fat from the milk. Get a good standard ma chine, but don't get a very small size unless you have only a very few cows. For ten to twelve cows we would cer tainly recommend a 450 to 650 pound per hour separator. Cleaning the Machine. ' Wash - the, machine every, time it la used. Don't believe the agent who fells you that you can wash his ma chine by simply dipping the parts in warm water. Any one who has han dled vessels in which milk has been kept knows that that is not so. Use a brush, not a dish rag, to wash each piece of the separator; then pour boil ing hot water over the parts and allow to dry. . Use plenty of oil on the bearings, and thus greatly Increase the life of the machine. Fasten the separator se curely to the floor, take three minutes to speed it up, heat up the bowl with a little lukewarm water before separat ing, then flush out with a little clean water after the milk has run through to get all the cream. Professor W. J. Elliott Aroostook Dairying. I always wash my cows' udders with clean water and wipe them dry, milk ing with dry hands. We strain the milk through cheesecloth, folded twice, and use a separator. We like that be cause It saves a lot of milk cans or pans to care for, and, best of all, we can feed the warm, sweet milk to the calf. For ventilation in the stable I depend upon a two inch hole in the wall with a shingle to close over it in stormy weather. I feed through traps in front of the . cows, and these are never very tight; so they always have fresh air In front of them. I clean the stable twice a day regularly In winter, and In the summer the stock are In the Dastnre niebt and day V. T. Lundval, I Aroostook County, M. GUINEA HENS. Tkrr Woald Be Popular U Their , Value Were Better' Understood. j . In many localities the guinea hen la considered as kind of a novelty or nuisance about the place.. It does not .. seem to be thoroughly well understood . that the eggs of the guinea, hen are highly valued by bakers for cake mat. tng and that the young guinea fowl . will bring the highest price of any broiler . ".; u the market, says the Feather. If more attention were given to the seleotion of the Tireeding stock, preventing too close inbreeding and providing a separate house away from -the chickens for the guinea fowls, their cultivation might become more general aad profitable. Guinea hens may be. taught to live almost the. same as chicken hens. . The trouble experienced from keeping guinea fowls in buildings . of poultry houses is the overpowering influence of mites and lice upon them, They are much more easily . destroyed . by lice and mites than the chickens. : The young of the guinea hen scarcely exist at all when once attacked by lice . or mites, which quickly destroy them. Guinea hens live out in the open, ; build their nests or select their nests under an old stump, a stone or In some out of the way place. When once they locate their uest and lay a few eggs therein they continually remain about the locality, and It is not difficult for this reason to locate their nests and take from them part of the eggs. These eggs may be placed under chicken hens or the guinea hens themselves. When either of these are permitted to hatch the young guineas it is well to confine the mother and young as .soon as the young are hatched and keep them near at hand, where they can be looked after and properly fed and cared for a short ' time until the young guineas become of a size that enables them to follow the mother about , "Try Nature." According to F. H. S. in Farm Jour nal (Philadelphia), we should be more Inclined to "try nature." He also throws out the following pertinent sug gestions: We should feed fowls so as to pre serve them in the best state of health. As fowls become domesticated they are brought within our control and consequently are largely deprived of their natural rights. As they depend upon us to care for them, it is a self imposed duty to care for them in the best manner possible. Fowls in a natural state subsist upon food of meager character, and yet they are in a perfect state of health. Food of such nature is what they require. In winter we cannot of course get green grass for our poultry, but we can do as we do with our cows when grass fs out of season feed them hay. Late cut rowen is just as good as any green food we can get in winter, and a supply should be kept on hand for this purpose. Cut it fine and steam by pouring hot water over it. Let it stand for a few hours, after which mix with the morning mash. Clucks and Cackles. The pullets,, if they have been prop erly bred and fed, should now be doing steady laying. You never saw a scrawny hen lay ing. It is the well fed hen, the one that looks neat and trim. Rusty Iron placed In the drinking water at this season serves an excel lent purpose as a tonic. It is a mistake to think that common or mixed chickens are more profitable than pure bred varieties. Good birds cost high. Bear this In mind when purchasing new stock. Good ones are the cheapest in the end It is Important that the interior of the houses, including the floors, be dry and that plenty of fresh air can get into the pens without drafts. It is equally important that the drop pings be gathered each morning, so that a good sanitary condition can be maintained A Snre Cure For Cholera. Here is a sure cure for cholera: Mix a half pound of smoking tobacco in dry ground feed, moisten a little and then feed. This will be sufliclent for fifty fowls. We have had cases so bad that it was necessary to put the feed down their throats, but it cured them, says a writer in Farm Journal, Philadelphia. Feed twice a week or oftener if necessary. The Bane of the Henhoaie. Mites are very small lice which con gregate by the thousand underneath the roosts and in the crevices of the poultry houses. They hide there all day and swarm out at night upon the bodies of the poultry. When full of blood they are red; when empty, very dark colored. They are the pest of a henhouse and should be removed. Value ot Exercise. Old folks, young folks, middle aged people, horses, cattle and poultry all depend on plenty of natural exercise to sustain health and vigor. Without the proper amount of exercise none of these can do their best Cultivate healthful exercise all along the line for the best results with your poultry. Don't Winter the "Deadheads." Have you counted how many dead heads you are wintering, particularly In the line of old roosters? They are lusty fellows to crow and eat greedily, but they steal the best morsels from others and by May will have taken a lot more than they can return. Sunflower Seed For Poultry. Sunflower seeds are considered val uable to feed.. poultry during the molt ing season. They are an oily food thought to be beneficial In the bright ening of the plumage of poultry. They are of but little value as an egg pro ducing food. 1 - The Hatch experiment station has been devoting its attention to the Im provement of conditions on the farms where milk Is produced: It has been giving particular attention to the bac terial content of milk. The two cows shown in the illustration represent the average and the extra way in which herds are kept The cow which was kept in the clean, dairy will be easily recognized. She KEPT IN A CLEAN DAIRY, is perhaps no better bred than her sis ter, but she looks a whole lot better. Her product Is more desirable, too, be cause by actual test it was found that the bacteria in her milk was much lesa than In the milk of the other cow. The unkempt cow looks as if she might be affected with tuberculosis. As a mat ter of fact she is healthy enough, but the stable In which she was kept and the care which she got necessarily gave her this appearance. On March 24 her milk was tested and showed 11,509,000 bacteria per cu bic centimeter. A cubic centimeter ia about 1.500 of a pint. The other was tested on March 31 and showed 4.050 bacteria per cubic centimeter. These figures are bard to comprehend, but bacterial tests do not lie. Another series of tests was made on July 20 and Aug. 15. At this time the KEPT IN AN UNCLEAN DAIBT. cows had been upon pasture for some weeks. They would naturally be clean er than when the test3 were made la March, because that date represented tbe . end of the winter season. Tbe spring rains and living upon the clean pasture produced a more sanitary con dition than sleeping on filthy bedding In dark barns. The clean cow tested, on Aug. 15, 600 bacteria per cnbio centimeter, and the other one tested 1,000,000 on July 29. One way to ac count for this great variation Is the difference In stables and surroundings at milking time, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Most of the bacteria get Into the milk after it leaves the cow's ud der. Ventilation of Stables. Every good cow stable should have about 800 cubic feet of air space per cow. That sounds like a big space 800 cubic feet per cow. It is not, how ever, too much space. You should not have your cows all dumped up in a heap. And I would not advise you to have the air space all above the cattle. Have It all around them that Is, have good wide passages and give the cows lots of room in their stalls. Do not crowd them down to two and one-balf feet, but give them three, or, better still, three and one-half feet I speak from experience when I say that that kind is a profitable stable. I bave seen both kinds tried. Where the; ven tilation was practically equal . and where a much larger space was given the cows they were in very much bet ter health. I have in mind two farms. In one I should judge the air space U about 700 feet not quite up to the standard, and In the other I should judge there-is about 300 feet of ale space, a long way ,below. In one the cows are continually getting sick, and the milk Is not up to the standard of quality or quantity. In the other stable there Is never any complaint about the health of the animals or the quantity or quality of the milk. This is a result of having sufficient air space. J. H. Grlsdale in Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Going It Blind. Why are dairymen so willing to go tt blind? I heard a man say tbe other day be did not Intend to take time to test any cow In his herd until he had a hundred registered cows in milking. He said he had no time to run the Bab cock, though he had a flue steam one connected with the boiler. I thought how much money he could save by weeding as he grows the herd. The undesirable sire could be spotted at once when his heifers came in and dis carded, while the valuable one, the one that nicked kindly with his strain of cattle, . could be used more freely. Numbers in a herd amount to little. , I had at one time twelve cows at the head of the herd that made In a year 6.132 pounds of butter, while at the foot of the herd It took over nineteen to equal them In production. These last nineteen made an average of 303 pounds of butter In a year, so they were not so awfully poor, after all. Mrs. M. B. Sherman in California CnV tfvator. I S"-v. r
