The Auiuri- can lines apparently make no effort to capture this trade. One has to look in vain to find a United States shipping Hue office both here and in the other cities and towns of Ire land, and one generally finds them in premises that are splashed with advertisement telling that there is at least one American shipping line which takes passengers. The Irish trade aloue is worth a fortune every year, but American business men ap ' ! parently seem content to let John Bull monopolise this business. GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH AT MEDFORD 21.HT The world's one big circus—Ring ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined—draws nearer and on its hundred cars will come ‘‘ten thou sand wonders" to exhibit iu Medford Saturday, August 25. World toured and world conquer- ing this truly greatest show on earth is now fully a third larger than it was when it last visited this locality. In addition to the many innova tions offered then, the present sea son's program numbers ten more trained wild animal displays—mak ing thirty in all—and the most su perb trained horse acts that Europe has yet produced. The wild-animal and equine displays of the past were introduced merely that the Ringling Brothers might judge of their popu larity. More than 760 men and women, embracing the world's foremost are- nic stars take part. These artists include the very biggest acts rang ing from extensive companies of for eign performers to the amazing Eng lish family of Nelsons—positively one family consisting of father, mother, six daughters and one son. And this group of world-famous ac robats but illustrates the remarkable scope of the human side of this great circus. There are 10 clowns. Aside from the ferocious beasts, the pro gram includes forty trained ele phants. There are five companies of trained seals, many dogs, bears, monkeys, pigs and pigeons. Added for good measure is the mammoth menagerie of more than 1,000 ani mals. It is the biggest circus pro gram the world has ever seen, given under the largest tent. 71 PORTLAND MARKET Portland, Ore , Aug. 21.— (A. P.) —Livestock, eggs and butter, steady. Some farmers seeui to regard an apple or other farm orchard tree a« something that can yield big crops for an unlimited time and not require any feeding to do it. Every one of us know of trees ou our farms that liuve never hud one thing given them lu the way of available plant food. Yet they are expected to—and usually do—give us a fairly good crop of fruit nearly every year. Right now I have in mind an orchard at home that had been a fair producer fur years, writes au Ohio farmer In Successful Fanning. Probably It was fifteen jears old then. A change in plans moved the poultry houses lu this orchard. When the house was cleaned out, the droppings were deposited un der those trees. 'Die mature hens stayeel there during the summer months tiecause the shade made It at tractive for them. The younger fowls sometimes roosted there for a few weeks in the early fall. That orcliurd increased its production almoat one hundred per ceut iu a year or two after tbe coming of liens. Our farm trees must have a little better care if we are to realise the most on them. True, they cost us lit tle. and we think that what we gel ♦s almost deer velvet. It is all right. But surely it is good business to Invest a little more that will give one four or five hundred per ceut on tbe luvest- meat. Our experiment station sent a man Into this county last year for a few orchard demonstrations. One of the Ideas he left with us was that burn yard manure was not a profitable kind of fertiliser to use ou the orchard. The manure Is more valuable ou other crops than on the orchard. Nitrate of soda Is the best fertilizer for the amount Invested. They figured It at $180 a ton. Five pounds per tree each year seems to be all that can be used profitably when applied to trees about twenty years old or more. In many cases three pounds per tree seems a good supply. Tbe method of applying this nitrate has been found to lie best when scat tered around the ground about where the spread of the branches are. When used In tbe whole square that the tree sits In there Is less profit. The roots seem to feed from the outer edges and very little from the main roots closer to the trunk. Phosphoric acid lias been experi mented with, hut seems to show no gain over plots not fertilized at all. Possibly In time It would show up. Tankage has been tried out, but the nitrate of soda beats this form of fer- tliity. The fact that the orchards where manure is applied do eventually pro duce more shows that there Is a benefit to it. but. as the experiment station states, there is a better use for the manure other places, and the nitrate will pay best on orchards. earn now why one man tells another about Blue Boars Don’t wait fi»r sumwne to urge you. Today —right now we ttsk you to sample this un usual cigarette. Learn why it is causing so much comment. Note its distinctive flavor, its surprising and agreeable difference from any cigarette you have ever smoked before. We call this new cigarette Blue Boar be cause it is developed from America’s favorite fine tobacco, Blue Boar Pipe Mixture. The secret of this new-type cigarette is in a newly discovered method of blending. Blue Boar tobacco is triply blinded — a new dis covery in cigarette-making. It is a costlier, slower process — but worth it. as you’ll agree. The result of this simple discovery makes all the difference in the world—an entirely new taste. Try a pack today.
