Bull Dor;
For many years the citizens of
Corvallis have been permitted to
Jive in peace and quiet, feeling
free to promenade the streets
find alleys of the town -at all
hours of the night without fear
of being molested, but now alas!
Our eyes are open to the dawn
of another day. : The rapid
strides in the way of public im
provements and the money being
made by all classes of " our citi
zens seem to have attracted the
attention of the bold, bad bur
glar. '.
Last Friday night R.M. Smith,
the harness man, had spent a
pleasant evening with his best
girl ana started nome ai aooui
11:30 o'clock, happy as a lark in
, the springtime, iiitle dreaming!
of what was in store for him
When nearing the new houses
being erected by George Henkle
in the southern part ol town, he
noticed a man a short distance
ahead, walking slowly, which
excited a little suspicion and he
carelessly slipped his hand in
, his pocket and transferred most
'of his change to the inside coat
Docket.
As he passed the new house,
the second highwayman stepped
out behind him and command
ed "Hands up!" Mr. Smith is
alwavs anxious to please his
friends and of coure up they
went. The second burglar then
returned to the scene of action
with revolver in hand and the
cleaning up process was indulged
jn to a hnish, after which the
young man was commanded to
march on.
The net proceeds to the bur
glars amounted to about $3 in
loose change, as they did not
get down into the coat pockets.
The man in front of Mr. Smith
had something over his face.
Strange to say bmithdid not turn
around to notice the latest style
of . coat worn by the man behind
him and hence cannot give a
very good description 01 the

A modern Willie-boy, with
jiarrow- striped clothes, saddle
colored shoes, a loud neck-tie,
hair parted over his nose, and
smoking a cigarette, addressed
his best girl thus: "If you was
me and 1 was you, what would
you do?" She hesitatingly said
with a smile: "1 would take off
that hideous tie, put that cigar

on one side, then pray to God
for brains."

AN ASPHALT ROAD.
New Jersey to Experiment With Mix
ture of That Product With Dirt.
The New Jersey state department of
highways Is to construct in Mercer
County an experimental mile of n new
automobile road, the plans for which
State Road Supervisor Robert A. Mee
ker recently obtained in Kansas City.
Mr. Meeker says the new method of
construction is simple and cheap, that
Jt is self healing when broken and
therefore practically Indestructible, that
it Improves with age. that it is mud
less, noiseless asd almost dustless and
that It is not slippery even when coated
with Ice.
In t'.ie building of the road the origi
nal soil is finely pulverized, and then
into this there is worked a mixture of
hot asphalt, the whole mass being firm
ly roiled iu the finishing. Breaks are
quickly repaired by traffic, the weight
of wheels cementing them together.
The base yields slightly to heavy traf
fic and then regains its original shape.
It Is equally good for horses and auto
mobiles. If the experiment proves a success, it
is likely that the result wUl be a radi
cal change In the road building meth
ods of the state of New Jersey, with,
the substitution of asphalt for the mac
Adam process now used.

NW HAMPSHIRE EVENTS.
Dedication7 eTa! New b66Hall at
, Bristol Described.
. , , Special Correspondence, j :",
',- Bristol in Pomona WeeiT has had
many notable' grange events, - trot the
dedication of the mew hall of New
found Lake grange, the' Installation of
its officers. ;the sparkling postprandial
exercises. a, brilliant literary, pro
gramme' and a long social festivity will
enable the exercises' on the afternoon
and evening of Feb. 7 to' excel any
thing of a similar nature ever held in
the lower-Pern igewas'set valley,- The
grange was opened in the usual man
ner in the former place of meeting, and
a long procession marched to the new
hall, where the dedication ceremony
was performed by State Master Had
ley and the officers of the local grange.
W. S. H. Kemick filled the master's
station, the altar was placed in posi
tion by the assistant stewards, the
service there was performed by the
chaplain, the flowers on it were ar
ranged by Flora, the fruit was put in
position by Pomona and tne gram Dy
Ceres. The keys ' received from the!
architect and the supervising builder
were delivered to the steward. The
building Is two stories. 52 by 60. The
grange hall proper, exclusive of an ex
tension stage, is 40 by 42. The ban
quet room is 36 by 38, and the kitchen,
ante and other rooms are commodious
and convenient. The floors are hard
wood; the sheathing is of Georgia pine.
It is lighted by electricity and has
modern heating apparatus. The cost
of the building, exclusive of the lot,
$5,000, is divided into shares owned
by the grange and its members. The
Installation was performed by National
Master N. J. Bachelder, assisted by
State Master and Mrs. Hadley. The
postprandial exercises were conducted
by Hon. Ira Arthur Chase, and the lit
erary programme consisted of read-,
ings,' recitations and a grange paper.
Music was provided at each of the five
sessions by Ladd's orchestra.
Every subordinate grange in the
state has been supplied by P. W.
Ayres, state forester, with desirable
pamphlets for the use of the essayist
who Is to prepare the competitive es
say that is to be presented in April on
"Practical Forestry For Farmers."
Many people recognite the vast ac
complishments of tie grange, but few
realize that the official returns to the
state grange In 1907 show that the ag
gregate amount of time consumed in a
single year in the state of New Hamp
shire in actual attendance at the meet
ings, exclusive of travel and prepara
tion, amounts to 12,535- continuous
years, or more than six and one-half
times the period that has elapsed since
the beginning of the Christian era.
Women rarely attended and less fre
quently participated in the early meet
ings of the grange In the Granite
State. Later they occupied all of the
offices in many granges. At the pres
ent time very few granges have all
permissible officers of either sex, but
almost invariably the office Is filled by
the Patron most competent to perform
the duties. There are thirty-one lady
masters, 228 lecturers are women, and
193 matrons fill the office of secretary.

What Is a Postal Savings Dank?
The grange is on record as favoring
the postal savings banks. Do all Pa
trons understand what these . banks
are? Persons desiring to deposit their
Rflvinira in these banks have simply to
go to the postoffice, if a money order
office and designated to receive depos
its fill out a denoslt sliD and have the
amount entered on their passbooks, the
same as if it were a bank. An ac
count is also kept of these deposits at
Washington, and the postmaster gen
eral causes an acknowledgment to be
sent direct to tne depositor to suppie
iriAnt the record In the passbook. The
government would pay a low rate 'of
interest, about 2 or 2 per cent per
annum.
In a Dairy County.
Orange county Pomona grange met
at Chester in March. Among the
speakers were Dr. E. M. Santee, who
spoke on "Tuberculosis In Cattle," and
Mr. Burton of the New York city
board of health. He highly praised
the Orange county dairymen for the
sanitary condition of their barns and
stables and the preparation of their
miik for the market Other questions
discussed were "Should the grange ask
for the establishment of agricultural
schools?" and "Should the grange fa
vor savings banks?"

The 'raising of white beans Is a great
Industry in many sections, and it ie
profitable because .the output ; is as
much a staple as wheat or corn. Like
these crops, it is a foodstuff which has
keeping quality.
The bean growing Industry has gravi
tated to the poorer lands, so that but
little of it Is found in the corn belt
And 'yet there are places' In' the corn
belt, and many of them, where beans
might be grown to advantage. Sandy
knolls or wornout fields which will
only make twenty bushels of corn pei
acre will return a greater cash product
If planted to beans.
Bean culture was once considered
very laborious, but it is not necessarily
so now. By the use of modern ma
chinery it is made easy. They may
be planted with a two horse corn plant
er, cultivated with riding plows and
weeders, pulled when ripe, thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
To make the ' most of the space the
hills may be only six inches apart, but
the rows should be wide enough to per
mit horse culture When planted in
this way and carefully cultivated, if
the ground is free from weeds, the
crop may be carried through by horse
power. But if . the soil is foul one
band hoeing will be needed. . The crop
is loaded from the puller into hay
racks and hauled to the barn. Spread
upon ihe barn floor or loft, it will be
ready for thrashing after two weeks
of dry ' weather. Before marketing
sorting is absolutely necessary.
The old plan was to get the family
together -in the evening about , the
kitchen table and . each by nanaruis
picked" out the bad specimens. But
the modern bean sorter is a small ma
chine, and; cheap,' Which you may take
into ; any; room.. The motion Is con
trolled by a treadle, and a slowly mov
ing canvas carrier brings the beans to
your hand as fast as you can look
them , over, one spry man doing the
work of five by the old system.
THE WHITE GRUB.
A Dangerous Insect Enemy of the
Fruit Tree.
The, peach borer or white grub,
which bores holes through and under
the bark Of the roots of peach trees,
weakens and often kills trees and may
be considered one of the greatest ene
mies the peach has to contend with.
This insect changes from a worm to a
fly in August or September. At that
time the worm comes to the surface of
the ground, constructing a cocoon an
Inch in length, which is attached to the
base of the tree or perched on the
ground, end upward. In a few weeks
it appears as a moth and begins to de
posit its small eggs on the body of the
tree near the ground. Each body lays
300 or more eggs and dies within two
weeks. In October or November the
eggs hatch, and the little borers,
scarcely large enough to be seen, make
their way down to the ground at the
base of the tree. When warm weather
comes in spring they begin active work
and Increase rapidly in size, working
first in the bark of the roots nearest
the base of the tree and then extend
ing down four or six inches into the
lower roots, eating their way as they
go. The worst, work is done in May,
June and July, and these are the
months when the peach trees should
have most careful attention. Young
peach trees require more attention than
older trees. The roots of older trees
are often so large, coarse and tough
as not to be susceptible to serious in
jury, but the young trees may be de
stroyed by one grub.
The Farmer's Friend.

the new school of agriculture is the
Mnt lltlnn of the helDfulness of many
feathered wild tenants of our farms.
Thanks to the Investigation of the de
nnrfmont of a srriculture. many birds
which were once ruthlessly destroyed

carefully protected because of their
usefulness In keeping down tne insect

THE QUAI
hordes that prey upon plant life. The
quail or bobwhite is one of the farm
ers' feathered friends.
This interesting bird is helpful to the
farmer in destroying weeds, bugs,
grasshoppers, cotton, boll weevil and
many other insects. If not hunted, it
is a tame bird, often appearing in the
farmers' gardens or barnyards. The
cheerful whistle of bobwhite on the
fences, in the pastures and meadows
is attractive to the farmer as he plows,
plants and reaps. Let every farmer
start out today to be a friend of birds
and to protect them. The farmer will
thus benefit himself, as well as the
birds. - -
The Sweet Potato Belt.
The northern limit for sweet potato
culture is roughly indicated by a line
drawn from the border line of Massa
chusetts and Connecticut on the east
coast westward to the northeast corner
of Colorado, but the area where It Is
profitable commercially, would be con
siderably south of this, except in the
Mississippi valley, where Jt extends
well Into Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.
: :
Shocking It So as to Oei
. , . " Boot Results. "
- From .the time the wheat stands
waring yellow in the field until it is
in the hands of the miller is an im
portant period. ' The cutting of the
wheat may not be a difficult task, but
much depends "oh how 'Veil the grain
is gathered and boil and shocked.
If the machine does not gather the
grain well, a good deal of it will be
lost falling down before the sickle or
stringing out from beneath the aprons.
" Care should be taken to avoid this.
The binder should also gather th
straw evenly, so that the bundles may
not look ragged or part be lost in the
shocking. The binder should be shift
ed just right, so that the bundles may
be bound near the middle. ; Binding
too close to the butts or heads will
make them inconvenient to handle, as
well as cause the dropping out of a
part of the bundles. ,
The shocking of the wheat is very
important, especially in those sections
where rains and winds are frequent
The bundles cannot be thrown together
any old way and be expected to stand
the storms of wind and rain.
My ! experience has proved that tht
best and strongest . shock is made in
the following manner: Place three
pairs of bundles in a row, then set one
bundle at each end and three on eacn
side. The caps should be placed on
lengthwise of the shock and spread so
they will cover the top of the shock
and hang down on the sides, protect
ing the heads of the wheat and turn
ing the water like the. roof of a house.
For twenty years we built our shocks
In this manner and seldom , ever lost
any wheat from winds or rata. It was
often necessary to go over the field aft
er a severe, windstorm and replace
some of the caps, but seldom did we
have to rebuild a shock.
After the wheat is all cut and shock
ed it is the best plan to have it thrash
ed as soon as it will do. It can then
be stored away in a rat proof granarj
or hauled direct to market We be
lieve it is wise to sell immediately
after thrashing. The higher price for
which one may hold will not mort
than .offset the shrinkage and loss in
handling, and sometimes the higher
price is never realized. A person had
better take a few cents less than run
the risk. -
BEES AND HONEY.
The Way They Gather Their Harvest
From the Flowers.
Bees gather honey from the nectar
vessels of flowers and plants. The
sugar, starch, albumen, etc., are car
ried up by the sap to the seed bear
ing pods. To a marked extent nature
is assisted by the natural law of heat
and cold to produce a sweating or con
densation of moisture, which we caU
dew. This takes place in the co
rolla of the flower, making It more
easy for the plant to deposit its over
flow of sugar, starch, albumen, , etc..
In the dew already in the flower.
This sweet nectar is carried up by
the sap and discharged in the dew
through the pores of the plant. When
the sun rises evaporation takes place,
and the result is a tiny drop of nec
tar In the cup of the flower. The bee
goes to the flower and with its long
silken tongue sips up this drop of
nectar and deposits it into its honey
sack back of the throat.
The bee is provided with a stomach
for its physical well being back of
this storage stomach, and all the hon
ey that goes to this stomach Is used
for the life or physical demands of
the bee. When the bee has its stor
age tank full of nectar it straight
way flies to the hive and exudes it
into the cell. The bee Is endowed
with the power of exuding as natural
ly as in taking, so there is nothing
wonderful about it except the natural
curiousness of the matter.
Care of Apple Trees.
Apple trees do best in a fertile clayey
loam or "white oak" soil and on a
southeastern slope. Varieties should
be chosen which are known to be
hardy in the locality. Information
may be obtained from the state experi
ment stations in nearly every state.
The trees should not be planted
closer than twenty-four feet each way,
Dirt should be well packed about their
roots and cultivation practiced for sev
eral years.
Between the trees crops of potatoes
or small fruits may be grown. Clean
culture is essential to prevent Infection
by insects and fungous diseases. The
trees should be watched carefully for
borers, which eat in the trunk. These
can be dug out with a knife or killed
bv poking a wire Into the aperture.
The trees give best satisfaction when
headed low, so careful pruning is es
sentiaL It is well to see that the
trunk is shaded on the southwest by
a healthy limb, which will prevent sun
scald. .
When the tree is coming into bearing
spraying with paris green or bordeaux
mixture Is recommended, ihis snouia
be done after the blossoms fall and
again three weeks later. This treat
ment kills broods of the codling moth
and keeps fungi in check.

For killing out sumac a correspond
ent recommends a flock of sheep. First
mow the sumac, then turn In the sheep.
Sumac may be destroyed by persistent
cutting after flowering season and be
fore it sets berries, but sheep will do
the work at less trouble and expense.

Fresh manure has a forcing effect
and tends to produce stems and leaves
at the expense of f rait and grain.' It is

For beef production there are the

but they are quick to adapt themselves
to any changes and environments.
The Hereford, as meat producers
have high rank. These cat e have
made marked improvement within the
last twenty-five years.
The breed is
criticised for having . an excess of
throatiness, dewlap and lack of deveKj
opment of rump and hind quarter. The
Hereford steer is noted as an excellent
grazing animal and in this respect has ;
no equal. Herefords mature much
more rapidly than Shorthorns and are
much in favor for the production of
the so called 'baby beef."
In the show ring the Aberdeen Angus
steer has made a remarkable record.
No other breed has made so fine a rec
ord in winning the high honors at the
Chicago International live stock show.
The breed has won many honors not
only in champion tat steer classes, but
also in carload lots. The steers are ex

closely confined. They are more or
less wild by nature, so that strangers
and dogs must keep away.. This breed
appears to stand shipping by rail
somewhat better than the other breeds
of cattle. They are not so well adapt
ed to the, range as the Herefords, but
mature early and are highly prized by
many growers of "baby beef."
What Beef Men Think of Silage.
The success attending the use of
silage in the dairy business has created
much Interest among beef cattle men.
Silage furnishes a succulent food,
which is quite essential to the dairy
cow in keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be
found true for the beef animal. Twen
ty pounds of silage per day will supply
all the bulk and water needed in a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes Is well
brought out by Professor A. M. Soule
of the Virginia station, who has stated
the following conclusions:
"There was a difference of from .3
to .5 of a pound of grain per head per
day in favor of the silage fed cattle.
They also finished out better and in
any discriminating market would cer
tainly bring a better price than the
dry fed cattle.
"Of the three forms of roughage fed,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss, whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 13.5 per cent and with hay
4.16 per cent Where a large number
of animals are fed this would make a
considerable difference In the cost of
ration, except that the shredded stover
can be utilized to advantage for bed
ding." Silage as it is put up today- is better
than when the practice was first start
ed. Good silage of corn Is made when
the grain has passed the mik stage and
has commenced to glaze a little. Silage
is made also from sorghum, corn and
cowpeas and pea vines.
Corn Stover.
Corn stover Is used both shredded
and unshredded. Ordinarily the cattle
will waste a considerable quantity
whichever way it is fed. The shredded
fodder is prepared because the cattle
eat a greater percentage of it and theH
manure is handled more easily. Fod
der is often fed on the ground in the
open pasture field to save the hauling
of manure.
There Is a saving, however, in hav
ing the fodder shredded. Usually the
feed Is taken care of earlier and there
is less exposure to leaching rains and
weathering processes. Again, more
feed can be put In a smaller space,
thus requiring less storage space.
Jersey Lambs.
It would be better if the farmers, in
stead of. using poor' stock from the
west, would select their stock from
their own lambs, and in doing this as
much care and judgment should be
used as in selecting- a dairy cow. In
regard to profits, one farmer has sold
forty lambs at $7.85 per head, while
