NBW BULFUB-MME Sl'KAY EFFECTIVE XOXCAlSTi Oregon Oold MJ, Developed by Iv peiiiiiont Station .May lie Readily Prepared at Home. A new sulfur and lime compound known as "Oregon Cold Mix," ha? been developed by the experimcn station to meet the need of grower for a summer lime-sulfur combine nation effective against brown ro and scab and al the same lime hap less, to tender fruits. Self-boiler" lime sulfur, which is often used fo; this purpose, is rather difficult b prepare and requires fresh, h'p' grade quicklime, not always avail able. The Oregon Mix requires fine! ground sulfur-superfine fiour but lack of freshness of hydratod Iim does not decrease the effectivenes of the spray. It Is made as fo lows : Eight pounds of sulfur flour i mixed with four pounds of hydrad K lime. Two quarts of skim milk ai diluted with two quarts of water ant' poured into the sulfur and linn which is stirred to a smooth past If too thick more water is slowl added. Several gallons of water are a ded to this paste which is well stirrer' up and poured through a strainc into the spray tank. The tank li then filled with water to make 51 gallons of spray. Whole milk may take the place o skim milk. It may be used if onl sour. The cost of the materials Is th' lowest for this type of sprays, the station says. Growers have tri r. it for pear scab on the tenderesi fruits, with excellent control of seal and absolutely no damage to tlx fruit. Station bulletin 201 gives methods of preparing the Oregon Cold Mix, which was developed prim arily for brown rot of prunes ana peaches. E. Cummins is laid up Wit a ver badly sprained ankle. Your Conversation""" "PONTIFF" j 'I'ontilT" originally was ap plied to the chief priest of the J Romu religion. It comes from jjj "pons" and "faeere," to make I J bridge. The first pontiff was 1 Aneus Marclus, credited with having built the SnbllcUro bridge J over the Tiber river at Home. The name now Is chiefly applied Jjj to the pope as the supreme pon- 2 tiff of the Catholic church.

A letter was recently re ceived by the Bureau of Home Eco nomies from a correspondent WTlt ng from Kodaik.inal, Madura dis- riet. Southern India. This letter says in part: "Three or four weeks ago I re 'O'ved from (he Department of Ag riculture your very valuable circu lar, No. 254, and it has been r-uch a boon to me that I feel that I want 'o thank you for it. I have a home maklng end of the school life in a "b.ool for missionaries' children in the hills in South India, and the "nklng of jellies and jents has bee me of the bugbears. Many Indian nils seem to be deficient in pectin, nd the process of making jam or dly has always been ro long that have been obliged to leave 't al ! ltether to Indian servants, with the result thai a greatly diminlrhd and often almost flavorless product has en the result. I have taught one E our coo'.s to make pectin simp, "lien il is onco ready the rest of 'tie work Is so simple and takes Such ' little time that it is really a pi' a 3 it's to make it up. "I b"ve tried It out with rasp fries and rhubarb, in bo'h jam and i''-, and our family is delighted ith the result. I should like to now if there is any leaflet or recipe vallable for making orange marmal ie by the use of the pectin. We "?t no apples in South India, but inons are abundant and cheap, so it is very easy to make up the ex tact from the peel. I even tried taking a small quantity of the pec in extract from the Inside peel of omeloes, which ate first cousins to grapefruit, I used it with juice rom rather sour raspberries, ard nd the family thought it made very good substitute for cran berry jelly." dfcEGON DAIRY ANIMALS WANTED IX CALIFORNIA llgh I'roduciivv Stock Sought to Re place Loss of BQyOOO Head in Foot and .Mouth Epidemic. Oregon dairy cattle are In demand o fill large orders from California iairynien and farmers who suffered oises in the recent epidemic of foot I ind mouth disease that swept more nan att.uiw neaa into me Siaugnier renches. California growers are uying cooiteralively unde the un Versity extension service with W. H. legan, chief of the dairying at the )avis farm, in charge. Through its director, Paul V. 'aris, the extension service has been sked to help locate stock for sale ind up to the qualification. Thf ounty agents will help owners of ii oil stock gel in touch will the Cali- ornia market. P. M. Brandt, chief of dairying t the college station, has also been iked to lend a hand in locating iwners of such stock. Oregon dairy stock in general is ble to measure up to the standards, ind the cows in the cow-testing as- oclatlons show a consistent margin iver the requirement of 3to pounds f fat a year per cow. Many of the best Oregon stock has been tuber- ulin tested and found to be low in tercentage of reactors. Of nearly 50.000 cows tested by he Oregon veterinary department ind the federal bureau of animal in lustry in cooperation with the exten sion service, fewer than 1 i per cent reacted. The California demand Is for cows t. b. tested in herds under tale or federal supervfaion, and for ows in cow testing associations. If not in supervised herds each ani mal in the herd must be tuberculin tested and if more than 10 per cent react no animal will be taken from he herd Owners reporting stock for this ;ale are as' ed to give breed, num ber of animals In each, average trice, and other items called for. High grade Holsteins and Guern seys are sought and probably later good Jet.- s and Ayrshire. A irainload Is wanted at Brit, and later ral snore will probably be called for.

Most of tin- faces were alitfhl with anticipation, hut the old man and WomttU in the back seats of the first balcony looked very grave, They were country poo pie, and they had never been to a the ater before. "Please God, It Isn't true, Mary I" said the old man. His wife pressed his hand gently. She knew how deeply he felt upon the j subject, It was, for those simple minds, a : tragic situation. Their daughter Lucy had left the farm three years before. And some meddlesome busybody had tOld the old people that she was ac tually an actress To their simple minds there could have been nothing more degrading. The stage wus the acme of all that was vilest In the world. They bad come up to town, without announcing their intentions, and were now await ing the rising of the curtain upon the first act of "The .Merchant of Ven ice." Portia does not appenr at ti e begin ning of that play. And before she had come on the stage the old people were staring in wonder at the niagnlllcenee of the setting. More than that. In place of the Immorality which they had expected to find Inculcated, they round a story, so gripping, so pathetic that they were spellbound. Rut when Portia appeared they leaned forward with a revival of their old terror. Portia was Lucy ! Miss Margaret Lake, n he wh billed. It was true, then I There was almost an expression of pride, but there was also bewilder ment. Ills Lucy! Their little girl! How could this be shel So the play went on toward Its dra matic auole. And now William Mul llns ami his wife were following the developments with bated breath. Antl the life-long horror of the stage was forgotten. And when the great trial scene came on. and Shylock sharpened his knife, and things looked hail for his enemy, tears eume Into their eyes. "He'll get him. Mary!" whispered her husband! "Sli-sb !" rang out the nngry whis pers; antl he subsided Into his seat in dismay st the storm he had raised. But when Portia came In, attired as the doctor of laws, William Mulllns knew her Immediately, "That's Lin y I" he whispered "Mother! That's our girl! Look at her!" lie sat now like a man entranced, staring at her And when she coti founded BhylOCk with her learning, when, after appealing to his humanity In vain, she ruthlessly unmasked the laws and drove hint, suppliant, before the Judge's seat, the father could re strain himself no longer He stootl up in his seat and waved his hand. "By Crlcky, Lucy, you've got him!" he yelled. "Oood girl! That's the way! Teach the rogue n lesson ! Tell his honor not to let him get sway with his life! No mercy!" There were no lonzer whispers of remonstrance. Instead, there was an uproarious outburst of laughter, with n salvo of hearty handcliinplng to fol low, And tlte obi psrents. shrinking hack Into their seats, the observed of every aye, saw that Lucy had seen them, They sat still in their seats, hewll tiered and dazed, long after the curtain had fallen and the theater bail begun to empty. An usher cume toward them. "Mr, and Mrs. Mulllns?" he Inquired blandly, t asting curious RlHnces at the old couple. "MIhk Margaret Lake WOUld like to see you In her dresslne room.

Why didn't you let me know, and I would have had a box for you!" "By gum. Lucy, what would we do With a boat" ejaculated her father, "Why, Lucy, we wanted to be some where where we could see you.
