many hundred thousand dollars are
paid each year by the Irsh emigrant,
but it is certain that most of the
money finds its way into the pockets
of the English shippers. 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

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.

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.

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.
