court tit Milium for violating tlm na
Tho district forester at Portland,
I j-i iUn fnrnat
urcgon, announces urni. m vo
Uw for the Enforcing of 0reg0n Dry service, is conducting at its laboratory
at Alauison, Wisconsin, in cuuiiciuuuu
with the university of Wisconsin, a
study of the preservative treatment
of wood staves used in the construc
tion of farm silos. While the study
will not be concluded for a number of
years some interesting data has been
already collected.
It may be somewhat surprising to
know that the amount of lumber, all
hiirh irrnde. used in the construction
of silos in 1913 has been estimated at
about 100,000,0QP ft., B. M. A good
silo mav be made of any one ot a
number of materials, but no matter
what class of material is used, the
success of the silo depends very large
ly upon proper care. In the uso of
wood, tho desirability of the preser
vative treatment is becoming gener
ally recognized. In fact some manu
facturers are alicady troating an oi
their silo material and it Is possible to
purchase silos treated and ready to
erect. Enough is known of the value of
treatment of other kinds of wood to
bo able to predict that a good treat
ment of coal tar creosote has proven
satisfactory. Experiments have
shown that it has litle or no ciicct up
on the silage. Four methods of treat
ment are in common use, namely pres
sure, open tank, dipping and brush
treatment. In the pressure treatment
the wood is placed in a steel cylinder
and the oil forced into it at high pres
sure. Although this is the pest niem-
od, it i3 the most expensive as special
apparatus is required. In the open
tank method, the wood is first heated
to and held at a temperature of 180
deirreea. F. for an hour or two, and
then immersed in a cold oil bath until
sufficient oil is absorbed. In the dip-
pine treatment the wood is usually
immersed in hot oil for from five to
fifteen minutes. The simplest and
cheapest treatment is tho brush treat'
ment. but it is the least effective
The oil is heated to 180 degrees to 220
degrees, F, and applied with a brush
or flooded over the wood.
As indicated above, the pressure
method is the most expensive and it is
used only by manufacturers who have
a lariro amount of timber to treat
The farmer who wishes to treat his
own wood for n silo, may use any one
of tho other three methods. A close
nslimatn of tho cost is difficult to
make as there are numerous variable
factors. However an estimate based
on a 1 1x34 silo made of 2 inch lumber
bd. ft. gives $3G for the cost of treat-
: i... u. i., l- mliwl 119
for the brush treatment, and $14.40
for giving the butts of tho staves an
onen tank treatment and the re
mainder a brush treatment. The dip
pine treatment absorbs more oil than
the biush treatment and thus costs
slightly more thnn the brush treat
ment.

Dr. Smith was tho lack of information
in tho east concerning tho I acihc
coast.
Dr. Smith met an official of ono of
the big insurance companies, who told
him that when it came to investing tho
comnnv's funds they drew the line at
the eastom base of tho Rocky moun
tains.
"But you write insurance on the Pa

"Yes we write a lot of insurnce out
there but we never think of that ter
ritory for investments," was the reply
When Dr. Smith reached Washing
ton coneress had adjourned. He found
Senator Chamberlain, who is chairman
of the senate committee on military
affairs, very busy.
Dr. Smith visited both California
expositions. He said ho has visited
all the big expositions held in this
country since ho was old enough to
attend and he thinks San Francisco
has the best exposition of them all. He
said it is well worth visiting. The
exposition at San Diego, of course, is
much smaller, but he said from an ar
chitectural standpoint it cannot be ex

Tho garden slug, slimy, slow mov
ing and repulsivo creature that at
tacks all manner of garden and orna
mental plants, is readily controlled
by the use of a poison bait, says A. L.
Lovett, specialist in insect crop pests
at the Oregon agricultural college at
Corvnlis. To be most effective the
material should be placed in small
heaps about the infested area early in
the evening. The treatment should be
repeated about every five days to take
care of the newly hatched slugs.
The most effective bait is finely
chopped leaves of some green sucu
lent feed such as lettuce, kale, wild
mustard or clover with the addition
of arsenic and some sweetening agent.
Tho following formula is good for
ill amounts.
'.reoii mcculcnt le.ve (chopped
finely), lqt.; Piris Green or white ur-
sonic, 1 tablesponnful; Sugar 1 table-spoonful.
Bran may bo used instead of leaves
but water must bo added, sufficient ti
make the mixture moist not sloppy.
Slugs may also be trappe 1 uiWcr
boards or pieces of burlap placed a
bout the field. The traps should be
visited in the early morning, when
the slugs may bo removed and destroyed.
The fake reports of Turkish atroc
ities, against Christians made by the
Allies to gain the sympathy of Amer
ica and the other neutral nations has
its counterpart in the German pro
cram. At a Turko-German feUj held
recently in Syria to celebrate an al
leged victory over the Russians in
Trans-Caucasia, it was announced that
the German emperor is a lineal des-
cendent of the prophet's sister and
will undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca
after the war.
General Scott evidently earns his
salary if any government employee
does.. His high character invites con
fidence that he never betrays and a
knowledge of the Indian child natur
enabled him to bring to Salt Lake
citv the Indian outlaws that would
otherwise have cost the government
over $25,000 in money and the servic
es of two regiments if cavalry to sub
due.
This is only a minor instance of
many such services performed for the
government by General Scott.
A war correspondent writes:
"I noticed on my return fro'm Bel
gium more of the war spirit in London
than ever before. More soldiers are
to be seen on the street, more flags
are on exhibition and more war con
certs are being held. Even the mov
ing picture shows have men to sing
patriotic airs, generally lambasting
Germany and thus appealing for en
listments. Thus life goes on in Lon
don."
The craving for Uilmcco by the sol
diers in Kurope recalls the fact that
General U. S. Grant developed a can
cer on his tongue by the continual ir
ritation of strong cigars smoked dur
ing the civil war. At that time 10 ct
cigars were luxuries. He always
lighted a new one with the butt of the
old one and only stopped for meals
and sleep.
The opening game of base ball be
tween Salt Lake and Venice of tho
Coast League, scheduled to be played
at Salt Lake on March 110th was cal
led off on account of snow, people of
Los Angeles greeted tho opening game
under a cloudless sky. Bain at Oak
land postponed tho game there, also
rain at Baudon but there was no I'ltniu
to postpone.

PRUNING THE GOOSEBERRY
Pruning the gooseberry to a bush
form in this country is recommended
by Prof. C. I. Lewis, chief of the O. A.
C. division of Horticulture. Berries
are borne on the two, three and four
year old wood and it should bo pruned
out. The current bears most of its
fruit on the two and three year old
wood. All canes of either of these
fruits should be cut out when they be
gin to droop towurd the ground, and
all canes that are weak. The plants
should be reduced to the number of
plants that will grow to a vigorous
condition. When canes tend to grow
gnarly, old and weak, they should be
removed. The entire planting should
bo renewed in from six to ten years.
While the bushes will grow fruit for
a longer time the fruit tends to grow
too small to be profitable.
Descendant of the Illustrious Daniel
An old Coos county pioneer Captain
A. D. Boone, died Monday at the home
of his daughter. Mrs. Wm. Kardncll
in Marshfield. He was born in Mis
souri in 1837 and came to Oregon
with his parents before it was a state
The journey was made in a prairie
schooner.. In 18G9 ho settled on a
ranch at Sumner wher he lived until
he recently came to Marshfield. He
was a great grandson of Daniel Boone
the famous Kentucky back woodsman.
The compass that had been used by
his illustrious ancestor was stolen
from the family by the Indians in
1847.
