An Albany dispatch to the Oregonian the first of the week tells a queer story of a girl hobo. It says: After wondering around differ ent Valley towns for three weeks and being the object of police search for several days, Erma Green, a 14-year-old girl living at Holley, was captured at Philo math and brought to this city last night to be returned to her home. When she heard last Wednesday that local officers were hunting for her, she walked from Aloany to Corvallis on the wagou road and then went on.to Philomath. Erly in July she ran away from her home at Holley, a ham let iu the foothills of Eistern Linu county. Though but 14 j ears old, she was inspired by a desire to "see the world," and has since been living the life of a hobo. Several time she secur ed work in bouses in different towns but has never stayed more than a day or two at a time. Among other places she was given employment in St. Mary's Hospital here, but ran away within an hour after she was as sig ied to some work. About a week ago her mother learned she was in Albany and fi 1 illy asked local officers to tate charge 6f her and send her home. In some way the girl found she was wanted and at once left for Corvallis. Officers have been searching for her ever since and finally traced her to Philomath. She will be taken back to Holly tomorrow. New Industry for Oregon. Ed Briggs, the night clerk at the Hoffman House, has a farm six miles fiom Eugene which he plans to turn into a mushroom garden next year. He intended to raise his first crop this year, but owing to delays did not get his beds in shape. However, as most of the preparation is made, comparatively little work will be needed to start a crop. Mushroom growing, as far as catering to the market is concern ed, is a new industry in Lane county, and with Portland with in 125 miles and other good-sized Willamette Valley towns nearer, there is every reason to suppose that the lovers of the mushroom will buy the product gladly. Near Paris there are hundreds of such farms. The distinct ad vantage of the cultivated mush room is that there is no danger of eating a poisonous specie, some of which are deadly. Mr. Briggs plans to produce all the standard varieties, and as soon as be can sell, the stools should have his fortune made. Additional Local. Paid Us a Visit. Rev L. A. Banks. D. D., pas tor the M. E. church of Denver, left last Wednesday for Cali fornia where he will visit his mother. Dr. Bank is a Benton county product. He was born near Beaver Creek on the Banks' homestead, and he was educated in Philomath College, probably entering that institution during the presidency of Judge E. Wood ward acd rttiring from the school about the time Professor Biddle was called East.

He is a regular con tribtor to of some the leadin g relig ious publications and his sermons, which are published weekly, are read by more people than the sermons ot any other American clergyman since the death of Talraage. All in all Dr. Lonis Albert is easily one of the greatest American divines. Don't Be Bine And lose all interest when help is within reach. Herbine will make that liver perform its jduties properly.

Chicago ReeordHerald. .Vv The worth of the Ayrshire as a dai ry breed Is fast becoming familiar to all interested in the economical pro duction of milk, writes J. F. Converse in American Cultivator. The environ ments and conditions surrounding the origin of the breed were more favora ble to the production of a vigorous, healthy animal than Is the case with any of the other dairy breeds. She has always been in the hands of practical men whose only object has been the production of good milk and whose aim has been to improve by judicious selection and breeding the breed the Scots gave to the world. The Ayrshire has greater constitutional vigor-than any .other dairy breed, which is of primal importance inthe highly organ ized nervous temperament of a great producer. In milk production she occupies a coveted middle ground between the Holsteins as large producers and the Jerseys as rich producers. By virtue of this vigorous constitution the Ayr shire is admirably adapted, to all condi- AYBSBTBB COW GLADYS DBTJJIMOND. tions of this country, which In a meas ure accounts for the fact that the best Ayrshires are In great demand at high prices. One Advantage of the Silo. It stops the great waste of corn fod der. It utilizes the feeding value of a cornstalk as no other method will. Take a hill of corn when the ear has just passed the glazing period. At no other time in its life Is there as much feeding value in it Let it stand, and every day after that the stalk grows poorer and more indigestible, and if left until the ear has ripened fully two-thirds of the feeding value of the stalk has been destroyed. It is a question- of motherhood. The stalk, the mother, has sacrificed itself for the ear. the child, and the ripened ear may make more pork fat or beef fat, but it will not make more milk solids. Now, if that hill of corn is put in the silo at that period of the highest com bined value of both stalk and ear wo have saved an enormous waste. It is this terrible waste, this genius for waste, which has afflicted the American farmer as westward he- has takj Ms .wa.y that,, we. must .-arrest we nave T5een"guirty"6f wasted" fertili ty, the waste of bad methods of pre serving food, the great waste of feed ing animals unfit for our purpose. In all this enormous waste because of wrong methods we have not properly understood what we were, about. Now the silo comes as one single remedy for wasted corn fodder. In what way can I take ten to twenty acres of corn and make it of higher value to me as a milk producer and at less cost than to put it Into the silo? I know of none Extract From an Address by W. D. Hoard. Foods That Taint Milk. The presence of wild garlic or wild onions in pastures, the use of turnips and other feeds containing oil, must be avoided where cows are giving a large amount of milk. Feeds which have a bad odor, such as silage, must be fed right after milking and at no other time; otherwise the milk and resulting butter are apt to show the effects. In all cases keep these feeds away from the cow during milking time. Taints from Kilage or other foul feeds are transmitted through the air; consequently if the air is full of silage odor the milk is apt to show it. If, however, feeds of this kind are given directly after milking, the product from the cow cannot be distinguished from that produced from other feeds, although condensing factories and some crenmeries prohibit its use. ALL 0VE3 THE HOUSE. information as to the Care of Kerosene Lamps Domestic Wisdom. Never touch the chimney of a lamp with water. A few drops of kerosene oil will remove the smoke and dimness, and a rub with soft flannel or chamois skin will result in a clear polish. Clean every bit of the burner with a rag dipped in oil and polish it dry and bright. Boil very dirty, neglected burners in soda and water. See that the outside of the lamp is dry, clean and perfectly free from oil after being filled. Each day rub oil the burnt portion of the wick with a duster. Do not cut the wick. Do not fill a lamp to the brim. Do not let a lamp burn after the oil is exhausted or turn it down. Nearly the same amount of oil is consumed as when the flame is full, what is not burnt passing off in the form of gas, which can he smelled when entering a room where the lamp has been turned low. Soak new wicks in vinegar and dry thoroughly before putting in the burner. Lamplighter.' To Wash Down Quilts. Down quilts and small feather or down pillows which have become : soiled can be washed at home with ! very little, trouble. and,.expen6e, J First cK5bs'e"a' good day, 'for the dry ing is half the battle, and you need plenty of sunshine and a gentle wind. Use lukewarm water, ' and one of the many pure soaps that are now in the market, and avoid a washboard. It will not be of any help and it will certainly pull your quilt or pillow out of shape. Kub thoroughly with the soap, squeezing and patting it with your hands as you might fine woolen underwear; rinse in two or three clear waters, and hang out to dry in the sunlight. A dash of salt in the water will pre vent it from fading. Bureau Scarfs. To make a pretty bureau scarf take three ladies' handkerchiefs with narrow hemstitched border, which can be bought for 8 or 10 cents each; join them together lengthwise, with a row of val lace between each. Then sew val in sertion lace all around the four sides. Add a ruffle of val lace and use a colored lining. A sideboard scarf is made with gentlemen's handkerchiefs' and imitation cluny lace insertion and edging. Labor Saving Device. All housewives know the difficulty of keeping the carpets, etc., under the beds free from dust and fliiij. The following method will be found a saving of labor: Take a piece of unbleached cotton the size of the bed, bind neatly. This should be laid on the floor and fastened se curely at each corner, either by safety pins to the carpet or by tapea to the feet of the bed. This can be removed and shaken free from dust. " Willing to Try. The discouraged housewife could not keep her mind and her conversa tion long away from the servant, problem. '"It is really the burning question of the day, you know," she 6aid. "They expect so much money, and they know so little that is, many of them.' I had a girl last winter who thought the finger bowla were a kind of wineglass and an other who laid put the butter knife for me to carve the steak with, but my latest recruit I am sure reached the limit. She .came to me well recommended by the way, the very worst ones seem able to get good references and 1 agreed to pay her $20 a month. The second day she was with me I asked her if 6he could make tea biscuit. "TVell, ma'am,' she said, hesitat ing, as if not quite sure of her ground 'I never did put-tea leaves in the dough, but I s'pose I could.' ' New York. Times. j .1 r
