Farm and Garden BUSINESS HENS. Buff Orpingtons Received With En thusiasm on Farms. By A. G. GILBERT. Long eiperiencebas shown that no arletles of fowls are better suited to the requirements of farmers and ethers than Barred and White Plym outh Rocks, White Wyandottes and Buff Orpingtons. Both Barred Plym- BUFF ORPINGTON COCK. onth Socks and White Wvandottes are from them may be had at reasonable Cost No variety seems to have a (reater hold on the farming commu nity than the Barred Plymouth Rock. The Orpingtons are comparatively new Comers, but have rapidly made their way to a first place In the utility class. Particularly may this be said of the buff variety. The English group of fowls, among Which are the Orpingtons, may be said to embrace many different kinds, and for the most part they have been val ued for their egg laying 'and table qualities. As with the American breeds, the aim seems to have been a combi nation of egg laying and market types With small frame and superior quality of flesh. In this respect the English and French breeds may be said to be unexcelled. Both nations are also skilled In crossing varieties, with the aim of producing flesh with small frames and a fine quality of meat of white color. Buff Orpingtons are one of many va rieties and probably the most popular of the Orpington family. They are rap Idly replacing many wornout strains and mongrels on our farms and have taken a front place In the utility poul try ranks as winter layers and market fowls. There is great demand for eggs and fowls of this breed. They have light colored legs and white flesh. Chickens are hardy and grow rapidly.' Eggs are of medium or larger size, ac cording to strain. White Orpingtons are a most promis ing variety and are likely to become popular on account of their merits as layers and table fowls. They are not BBFV ORPINGTON HEN. yet well known, but will soon make many friends. Their characteristics are about the same as those of the buff variety, with the exception of the col or of the plumage, which Is pure white. Jubilee, Spangled and ' Rose Comb Buff and White Orpingtons are varie ties of the same family, which are yet In few hands. All claim more or less merit The buff and white varieties are likely to be first In favor of fan ciers and breeders for some time to come, as they are best known and have certainly made a favorable Impression. Species of Alfiiaria. There are about eight species of al fllarla growing in the United States, three being native to the Pacific coast region. The' most valuable and the one that has made such progress -on the ranges Is the red stemmed alfilaria (Erodium clcutarlum). This species Is a hairy, slightly viscid, erect or as cending herbaceous winter annual from six to eight Ruches high. Its flowers are lilac or purple, and the plant pos sesses generally a pronounced musky odor. During the winter it forms a compact many leaved rosette from ten to twelve inches in diameter, from Which the stems are thrown up during the spring months. For San Jose Scale. Lime sulphur washes for San Jose scale are suitable only for the treat ment of trees which are In a dormant state, being much too strong for appli cation to trees In foliage. Experiments indicate that the best results follow applications In spring just befotfc the growth of the tree begins. KlliG DRAG CLUBS, How to Organize Them and Start Neighbors Dragging. VALUE OF CONCERTED ACTION Importance of Using Drags at the Right -Time Proved by Statement of a Township Supervisor Features of Neighborhood Organization. ' fCopyright. 1908, by D. Ward King:! After the. public spirited, leaders In the movement for better roads have convinced the community the King sys tem Is all it is claimed to be there will arise the question of how to get every mile of road dragged, for the less progressive- men will allow stretches of rough road between the smooth pieces. Now, In times past I used to shy at organization. I was more afraid of the word than the average farmer's family horse Is of an automobile. The worst fool over an auto on my farm today Is the twenty-year-old standby who has helped to raise the children; not that I was foolish about it but be cause I knew the ease with which good people will elect a president and a sec retary, adopt a constitution and quit I am 8 till opposed to organizing first Before such an attempt is even sug gested a lively demand for it should be created. When the people are convinc ed by object lessons, then the time Is ripe for organization. A paper record and the formal elec tion of officers is not an absolute ne cessity, for when the community has reached the proper frame of mind the desired end may be reached by a sort of common consent just as villages gradually get rid of the front fences and take better care of the lawns with out the passage of a special ordinance. In thousands of instances long stretch estwenty miles in some cases are kept In order by an unspoken under standing. But formal organization will do no harm and often will succeed where the spontaneous kind has failed to develop. I am acquainted with four styles of neighborhood organization, three of them developed by unselfish Individu als having in view the good of the community solely. . The differences In the plans are due partially to local en vironments and partially to the busi ness occupations of the persons who formulated them. The organization of the residents along suburban roads was first ac complished by. Mr. Clarence D. Skin ner of Topeka, Kan. Mr. Skinner in terested the people along his own street and used the drag to make a boulevard which became .the talk of the city. His success was so great that he was made assistant secretary of the Kansas Good Roads association. In which capacity he aided Secretary I. D. Graham to spread the club idea throughout the state, the newspapers of Topeka. joining heartily in the project Postmaster Filson of- Glameron, Mo., was the author of a scheme for divid ing each rural route in two parts with a captain for each part He called a mass meeting of all the patrons of all the rural routes and after explaining to them he divided the audience into groups by. routes and had captains chosen. It was the business of one captain to manage the outgoing half of the route which passed his house, and It was the business of the other captain to attend to the Incoming end. About two years ago Thomas W. Larkin, secretary of the Dennison (Tex.) Commercial club, made and tested a King drag. He was converted. The roads were very, very bad about Dennison. One of them, known as Carpenters Bluffs road seemed much the worst' The Commercial club do nated a sum of money to put this road in order, but stipulated that the farm ers must pledge a like amount . in money or labor, and also must promise to drag the road carefully after it was repaired. Mr. Larkin called meetings at a schoolhouse or two out near the end of the road, presented the proposi tion and organized the farmers. To day the Bluffs road Is known by repu tation' throughout Texas, and Its ex cellence is the standard by which other good roads are measured. The fourth form of organization can be used only in localities where the road officers join the movement and take the management in charge. I can outline the workings of this plan most quickly and clearly by repeating a statement made by a township super visor from Clayton county at the Iowa state road convention, Des Moines, In January, 1905. The value of the King drag and the Importance of concerted action in its use were under discussion, and the supervisor said that on a cer tain afternoon, naming a day several weeks past the roads had thawed and were a little sloppy. The wind got into the north and it was evident a freeze was coming. "So," said he, "I stepped to the phone and ordered out every drag In the township. The weather turned very cold that night; the ground froze hard and remains frozen till now. The undragged roads were so sharp and rough the next morning they were well nigh impassa ble, but the dragged roads were as smooth as a floor and as hard as cast Iron and have been so every since." It seems to me this statement con tains in a nutshell proof of the value of the drag even in winter, evidence of the importance of using the drag at the right moment and also points to the necessity for some form of organ ization. Pennsylvania State Highways. The state highway department of Pennsylvania expects to construct this year 268 miles of good roads.

(Ms Ore gon, 72 t PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE. Druggists Will Battle Stomach Troubles in Corvallis. The increase of stomach troubles ia Corvallis has led Graham & Wells to take effective measures to combat the disease. . They bave the local agency for Mi-o-na sternach tablets, and in order to induce people Buffering with weak stomach or indigestion to nsetbe remedy, offer to supply it with the distinct understanding that money will be refunded in every case where It doss not cnre. Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive, bnt an absolute strengtaener and build er-up of tbe wiiole digestive tract. If you suffer with headaches, giddiness, palpitation, bad taste in the mouth, nervousness, coated tongue, d iatresB aftar eating, use Mi-o-na and see how quickly these symp toons of a weak stomach will disappear. ' 1 The remedy strengthens the muscular walls of tbe stomach and increases tbe flow of gastric juices so that nourishment is extracted from the food and the refuse is expelled without the aid of purgative or laxative medicines, . Remember that Graham fc Wells give a gurrantee to refund the money unless it cures. They take all the risk, sad there is no danger ot yonr losing any thing except indigestion when you buy a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na.
