Oregon Fruit Law.
To thu Editor:
Agreeable with the conclusions arrived
at by this board at its last fall meeting,
all the commissioners of the various dis
trict have been very active in field
wdrk, inepeeting orchards, nurseries,
heme places, etc , aud hundreds of
notices have been served to clean up
neglected places in accordance with the
horticultural law governing such cases,
and (or their benefit and guidance these
sections are herewith given in full. Wo
also give the section covering the sale of
diseased fruit, so that shippers and deal
ers may govern themselves thereby.
SECTION 2.
It shall hereafter be the duty of any
pet son, firm or corporation owning or
o|>erating any nursery, fruit orchard,
hop yard, flower garden, or ornamental
trees, and knowing such to be infected
with any kind of insects, pests or dis
ease, to immediately spray or destroy
the same in such a manuer as the fiuit
commissioner for his district, may direct.
section 5.
It ehall be unlawful for any peraou
flrm or corporation to import or sell auy
infested or diseased fruit of any kind in
the state of Oregon.
Menon 7.
It shall be the duty of the commission
er of the Htale Board of Horticulture of
the district in which a violation of this
act occurs, to present the evidence of the
case to the district attorney, whom duty
it shall be to prosecute any person guilty
of a violation of this act. Which pro
secution inay Le brought in auy of the
justice courts of this state.
We call,.special attention of growers
and shippers to flection 5, and notice is
hereby given that diseased, scabby,
wormy or scaly fruit will not tie allowed
to be sold in any of the markets of this
«tale hereafter. While the board hopes
that it will not toe necessary to use harsh
measuies, it must be understood that

strictly enforced.

Mother ! Chat.
Did you ever stop to consider, kind
hearted, faithful, aflectionate, well-mean
ing mother, that perhaps you are mak
ing some very serious mistake, in the
rearing of your children? Did you
pause to think why you slapped little
Kdith ths other day ? Didn’t a w ave of
anger sweep over your heart when you
mw her wilfully and wantonly disobey
your orders? Did it occur to you that
yeur own manner of issuing the com
mand might have been antagonistic, and
just as offensive to her as her act of dis
obedience wan to you?
Compare b'dith's shortcoming«, her
little childish sins and failures, with
your own. The contract will not be to
your advantage, will it? Remember
you are a woman, mature, perhaps edu
cated and experienced, and she but a
little untrained, unformed child.
Wouldn't you have accomplished a

Heli-respect and hicreased your daught
ers filial reverence, if, instead ol slap
ping her, you had gravely and quietly
caused her to und»> the thing she had
taken so much trouble to do? Or if you
had deprived her of soms small pleasure
which she had anticipated? Instinct
ively, she felt that mamma was wrong,
too, but she could uot explain or define
ths wrong. Her heart ached with a
•eiiNe of injury, and very rightly too.
Dear mothers, can you realise that
ths every day training of your children,
tneir home influence, the manner in
which they are corrected, the food that
they eal, the books thev read and their
associates and every thought, word and
action are bricks laid in the foundations
of (heir characters? When we issue a
command to our children, let us be very
careful that it is just and not puts threat
after each command, A mother told
her little girl that if she did that again
«he would whip her. The child had
noticed that she had never carried out
her threats and no she looked up and
Maid,"I am not afraid; you have «aid
that lots of limes," Much threats as,
"I’ll cut your ear off," "1’11 kill you",
‘‘i’ll put you in the river" ‘‘I’ll give
you to the black-man", are very wrong
I believe the best way is to be sure that
our commands are not arbitrary; that
they lx* given in a calm, serene manner
instea<i of loud, howling commands,
emptv ttirealN, whipping« and shakings,
and tlieu if we are not obeyed, punish
the child. Never threaten and not
carry it out. I«et them know tiiat if
they disol»ey they will alwavs receive a
punishment. They will soon learn and
it will be so much tietter (er them.
They will have so much more respect
for us.

“Porosity” Hull Prevails
In the early daya of the pneumatic tire,
porosity was the bane of both trade and
ridera. Whenever anything got the mat
ter witb a tire er an <nner tube that
could not easily be remedied it waa pro
nounced to be porous, and that Milled
it, says the Bicycle Nswa. At tha men
tion ef thia fearful word all hope waa
given up, and if the maker could not be
induced to step Jnta the breach and
make a replacement under the guarantee,
the dealer or the rider had to suffer.
Even at the present time, when a won
derful advancement in the manufacture
of tires has I men recorded, poroaity has
not entirely ceased to manifest itself. It
ia caused, in the case of inner tubes, by
minute air cells in the rubtier sheet from
which the tubes are made. This trouble
some air ia imprisened in the rubbar
while it ia being sheeted through the
calendar, or whilst the rubber ia being
forced through the tube machine. It ia
meat difficult to detect the defect of im
prisoned air, therefore numerous defec
tive tubes rapidly accumulate during tba
testing process, that ia, when blown-up
of under pressure ol air.
Surely there is some way of making
the walla of air tubes homogeneous, and
of an improved constraction. An Eng
lish rubl>er espert anil factory manager
pro|>osee that all air tubee ba molded in
molds with internal pressure. Thia
method would coueolidate the rubber
material in the wall of ilia lube, ami ex
pel all hidden air from the rubber, at
the same lime preeeing out all seams
and joints.
