More tbau nine out of ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muBcles, due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In such eases no Internal treatment Is re quired. The free application of Chamberlain's Liniment is all that Is needed, and it Is certain to give quick relief. Give it a trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. The medi cines usually given Internally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than useless In cases of chronic and muscular rheumatism. For Bale by M. Clemens. Since entering upon my work of Inspection I have "visited some 39 orchards, and find on the whole tho owners are eager to rid their proper ty of pests. While there Is quite h lot of blight at present, I firmly be lieve we have quite as much to fear fiom Anthraonose, especially In the oung apple trees, because very littlo cttt'ution has been given to this dis ease by the growers. About pear blight every grower 6hould watcn trees closely and when you notice wilted leaves look out or you may lose a whole tree. Cut oft the at tacked branch well below the dis eased part and be careful not t; In oculate the healthy branches. I)i;i your pruners or knife In a stron?? solution of carbolic acid to kill germs. Keep all water sprouts off as there is where the germs livo over winter, and In the spring the re newed growth causes a slimy sap to exude which 13 simply alive with the germs of disease, and these are car ried by flies, bees and other Insects to bloom. In the honey of the flower the germs multiply rapidly and so the tree as a whole will soon be infected. The leaves on n branch attacked by blight wilt and die, but do not drop off for a long time long after the leaves on a healthy limb have dropped off. Growers should fami liarize themselves with this dread disease for nothing but eternal vigil ance will enable us to stamp it out, It is something that we cannot spray for and when tho trunk Is attacked it Is doomed to the ax. I found In some young pear orchards, whole trees dead, root and branch, and tho owner did not suspect the presence of blight. While I am In office I will do my utmost to help the growers and they are free to call upon me for such as sistance at any and all times, or phono 21X1. I receive mail from all parts of the county asking about this or that pest, showing that the orchardists are thoroughly In earnest and will ing to do their duty as they are en lightened. Those who have not sprayed for codling moth the second time should do it at once. The merchants are asked to co-operate with the In spector's work by not purchasing diseased fruits. Roys selling at trains must not have such fruit on sale as It will be promptly confla cated wherever found. All working together in this way we can soon free ourselves of much or our trouble. All primings should be burned at once and not left lying about the orchard. Yours for cleaner fruit. J. F.

Aside from , fruit culture and the raising of forage for horses and cat tle, hog raising will become one of the most profitable Industries con nected with the farm. Today the price of live hogs in the market at Portland as paid by the packers Is 17.75 per cwt. Grants Pass will have the beuefit of these prices as Swift & Co. have n buyer in this mar ket who will pay cash for all the livo hogs offered In Grants Pass just as soon as their packing plant Is in operation at Portland which will be within tho next few weeks. J. H. Ahlf, Swift ft Co.'s agent, Is author ity for this statement. The Pacific Homestead says that pigs can be- raised until they are 3 months old on vetch or other rough age at practically no cost other than the pasturage; they should weigh 150 pounds at 5 months old. Mak ing an especially liberal allowance of 3 cents per pound of rnlslng them to this weight, they would cost $4.50 per head. Experience in various Instances hows that five pounds of wheat will make one pound of pork, but count ing these as exception and feeding each of these, pigs 40 pounds of wheat for a gam of fifty pounds In weight (eight pounds of wheat to one pound of pork) at 1 Vi cents a pound, or $H, would then bake the total cost per head $10.50. This would mean a finished hog weighing 200 pounds, on which the market value In Portland today Is $15.30 per head, livo weight, leaving a margin of $5 per head above cost of production. Even counting the freight at $2 for each porker, it would leave a profit of $3 per head This would return tho farmer 90 cents a bushel for his wheat, and that sounds good even now when the price has reached a higher point than for twenty years. The richest farming sections of the United States are thoso in which the hog is tho premier product. The ordinary breed of hogs will raise at least one litter of six to eight pigs, and some of the more prolific breeds raise two litters every year. Every body Is famllliir with tho fact that tho hog Industry furnishes the foundation for the wealth of the farmers of tho great Middle West It Is a product they can sell any day In the yenr, nnd tho demand Is al most unlimited. There Is no specialty that farmer can underlnke. with less cap Hal than hog raising nnd nil things considered there Ih ho business Hint the farnu.v can take up that will pay better than this. It Is to be hoped that, this will attract the attention of n large number of fanners In this county for there Is wealth In this business here the same as there has been In other slates. From now on funning In this section should be made a profltublo. occupation nnd It undoubtedly will bo when wo have our. crops Insured against drouth.
