Professor Lewis of O. A. C. pre
dicts a great future for the loganberry

It is estimated U. of O. and O. A.
C. will each get $2 000 out of the game

The Clackamas county court has

quality.

anxious for the gem that she didn't
trust Bridget to dress the fowl
But "Ornamental and Domestic Poul
try," published in this country in 1857,
gives capons a knock.
It says: "Capons, in point of fact:
are getting out of date and are taking
rank with oxen roasted and other bar
barisms of the middle ages. Tbey ar?
very expensive, but not unjustly so
when It is to be remembered that twe
or three chickens may have been sacri.
flced before ten capons hove been
nursed into convalescence."
Such a tremendous loss would make
any one grouchy and pessimistic, and
A lad who last spring wanted to car
ry out an experiment in practical agri
culture planted a third of an acre to
popcorn. He picked the crop the. other
day and Hilda he has forty-five bushels,
which, if the tract and crop were ac
tually measured, means a yield at the
rate of. 135 bushels per acre, if he
sells this at retail he will realize a
handsome return for his labor.
Whooping Cough
It is an old saying tHat whooping
cough must run Its course, but the
use of Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey has
demonstrated beyond doubt that such
is not the case. It can be cured by
the use of this remedy. At Stafrln's.
Satisfaction of Mortgage.
The Observer has added Satisfact
ion of Mortgage to its stock of legal
blanks. Notaries and Attorneys may
now secure them In any quantity de
sired. Phone orders for legal blanks
given prompt attention.
Cheap Imitations
Owing to the immense sale and pop
ularity of Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey
there are many cheap Imitations on
the market under similar sounding
names, but you can always get the
genuine by looking for the bell on
the bottle. Sold by Conrad Stafrin.

a comparison of the crude instruments
of 1857 with the fine practical set of
1012 shows the chief reason.
Caponizers have operated on a hun
dred birds straight without a loss, and
1 to 2 per cent is about the average.
Moreover there is no convalescence,
the birds starting right in to put on
fancy flesh. We never found that fa
bled crystal in the capon's liver, but
we find good money In them, and a
great essential to success is an up to
date set of Instruments.
DONTS.
Don't be wasteful. Feed no more
than is necessary. Save no feed scat
tered round for rats and sparrows to
feast on.
Don't mortgage your property to buy
an automobile. It's nice to take a jolly
Joy ride; but, oh, yon bankrupt back
slide! Don't nurse a gtouch. Help wife
nurse the twins when they are yappy
and be a happy pappy.
Don't get awfully enthusiastic ovet
poultry in the spring and then be
downed by lazy prostration in the sum
mer and be knocked clear out by poul
try pessimism In the fall.
Don't put much coofidence in the fel
low who is expert at making promises.

I break.

It these days. Has It failed to reach

A friend who plans to do something
in the line of commercial potato rais
ing and who is Just now building a
new barn Is setting off a portion of
the basement for a storage room. He
figures that this location of bis root
cellar will Insure them from frost
damage, and in this he Is doubtless
right He will arrange ventilation so
that fresh outdoor air can be admitted
as needed.
The finest apple sauce the writer ever
tasted was made from Wealthy apples,
the fruit being prepared as for ordi
nary sauce, but Instead of being stewed
on top of the stove was baked slowly
In the oven until the juice of the ap
ples was nearly all evaporated. Sugar
to sweeten properly was put on at the
start and a pinch of salt and a small
piece of butter added. The same kind
of sauce could be made from any prime
cooking apple.
In a short time now, before the win
ter freezeup. It will be a good idea to
store the supply of celery. The plants
should be taken up with a good supply
of roots and put In a box in the cellar.
This should contain a layer of mellow
earth, and after the plants have been
put in place the roots should be given
a good watering, care being taken not
to wet the tops. The writer has found
It an excellent plan to wrap each stalk
with a couple of thicknesses of news
paper for a distance of eight or ten
inches above the root
Since canna bulbs bave none too
much vitality to last them through the
dormant season of the winter It Is well
to postpone taking them up until Just
before cold weather sets in. On being
removed from the ground tbey should
be burled In sand in a cool cellar. In
Kobmniy they should be inspected, and
If there Is doubt about their keeping
well for three or four weeks longer
tbey should be potted at once and put
in a cool place where tbey will grow
but slowly. Later, when suitable weath
er comes, they may be transferred from
pots to grounds.
