K2 1-2 First St., Cor. Morrison, Portland, Oregon. i Please Mention This Paper. The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very ' engine " of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of gqod health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind ; when from any cause it becomes infected ; with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues: Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature's, blood purifier and tonic ; made entirely of Vipalino- iMnsincr roots find herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system.

Although agriculture in America Is young compared with some of the Euro pean and Asiatic countries, it has been developed to such an extent that the older countries look to us for Ideas and methods to help them solve the farm problems they have to meet. Our sci entists and investigators are among the foremost in the world and as an agri cultural nation we need stand aside for none. To be sure, agriculture owes many of its greatest scientific discov eries to English, German and French experimenters, but, in aggressiveness and practical development of Ideas America is one of the leaders. Other nations are sending their sci entists to America to study how we do things here. Our country presents most of the agricultural problems, to be met with in the countries of the old .world and we aTe finding out how to solve them, andthe old world wants to know how we do It. A Japanese expert is now in the United States to investigate our methods of improving worn-out soils. He says: "We have in Formosa over 500,000 acres under cultivation and we want to find out how the United States goes about It to improve the con dition of its land, sc we can improve our country." This is but one instance of where we are sending our ideas abroad. We have every reason to be proud of our agricultural advancement, much of which is due to our State experiment stations and federal Department of Ag riculture. Goodflll's Farmer. Machine (or Waahlna- Cans. The old method ,of cleaning milk cans, lard cans and similar receptacles will In the near future be superseded by a very Ingenious apparatus Invent ed by a Boston man. As shown in the illustration this can-washing machine washes the cans and automatically de- WASHES MILK CANS. Doslts them on th floor, where the han- 'dles can be conveniently grasped, avoid I ing the labor of lifting them. The cans travel while being cleaned on a mova j ble dhaln, each can being placed .over ' an upright nozzle which holds It in po sition. The various nozzles are con nected to a supply pipe through which Is forced a cleaning fluid or steam. The latter la forced out through the nozzle, thoroughly cleaning the interior of the can. The nozzles also act as guides to deposit the cans on the floor after they have traveled the length of' the chain, the operation being performed automat ically and smoothly without injury or accident Bora Dead Animals. In the attempt to stamp, oat hog cholera and other contagious diseases among live stock the matter of burn ing all dead animals Is one of consid erable Importance. Outbreaks of dis ease have frequently been traced to the careless disposal of the carcass of an Infected animal. Burning is much more effective, than burying, as the germs of some diseases, as anthrax, for example, retain their vlrlHty for a considerable length of time. Then in burying car cases, unless they are placed very deep in the ground, there Is always more or less danger of their being rooted or dug out Dogs will dig open such graves and hogs will root them out Those who have attempted to bury a hog or hoTse'will readily appreciate the statement that it Is easier to burn than bury them. A little kerosene and brush heap will soon dispose of a car cass, with the certainty that all germs are destroyed. Some recommend the construction of a specially arranged furnace for this work, but on the ordl nary farm this would doubtless be an added expense. It will not be a diffi cult matter on any farnf to gather enough trash.i such as brush, old rails, etc., to burn a dead animal and the ex pense is Inconsiderable. Anyway, It Is the only aafe way to Insure against In fection. , . Bees help to make the crops and pay the farmer for the privilege. They are little trouble to keep and may be thr source of a good income. A Spanish professor, according to German newspapers, has made the dis covery that the sunflower yields a splendid febrifuge that can be used as a substitute for quinine. W. J. Monroe, of Iowa," has the smallest colts ever born in that State. They are Shetland twins, both mares, and one weighs eighteen pounds and the other twelve pounds. Alfalfa seed has a light olive-green color and is about the same size as red clover seed. The dead and worthless seed are the brown-colored ones. Brown seed indicate old seed, and Is not apt to give good results. A first-class quality of red cloven seed should be of fair size, purple and yellow colors predominating, and al ways with a luster. If It Is small, with many shriveled brown seed In it. It should be rejected. Egyptian cotton has been successful ly grown' in New Mexico and Arizona by the Bureau of Animal Industry. Sev eral million dollars' worth of this cot ton is imported into the United States each year, and its growth here will mean a great saving. Yellow Rut Parasite oa Wheat An Instructive account is published in the Experiment Record of the De partment of Agriculture of the manner in which the yellow rust parasite acts upon susceptible and resistant varieties of wheat. In an experiment with Mich igan Bronze wheat, and "rust-proof" Eingorn, young seedings of each were Infected by placing spores on the leaves. In the Michigan wheat the germ tubes passed into the Inner tissues and devel oped rapidly, producing pustules h about ten days. In the case of the re sistant Eingorn wheat the germ tubes made good their entry, but almost in the beginning showed, through the mi croscope, weakness and starvation, and were unable to make further progress. The, wheat plant continued to flourish, except for the Bmall dead area where the fungus entered the leaves. The rea son for this resistance is unknown, but Is supposed to be due to some toxic principles in the" host plant. V Keep Ahead of the Weeds. The Importance of keeping ahead of the weeds Is realized by every success ful agriculturist At the beginning of growth in the spring weeds start up and lead the farmer a merry chase as lone as the growing season lasts. He must keep at them or they will get the start and go to seed, thereby Increasing their numbers many fold. "Eternal vlg- lahce Is the price of liberty" In the fight against weeds. A thoroughly practical fanner recently remarked that he thought the problem of weed eradication one of the most Important the farmers have to face. It is Indeed one of considerable moment " " Breeding Dairy Cowl, In breeding dairy cows a man should have a definite object in view. Too many shift from beef to dairy when dairy products are low, and then shift back asaln from dairy, to beef when beef rises in value. By this method man is constantly shirting from one breed to another, and as a result he Is getting a herd that is good for neither milk nor beer. A man must nave an Ideal toward which he is breeding and then bend all his energies to that end. This shifting from one breed to another Is a suicidal policy that will ruin any man and any herd. Kansas Experl ment Station. t How Wire Fences Murder Cattle, "The time of thunder storms is com Ing," said a farmer, "and I am liable to lose a cow or two. My barbed-wire fences are to blame. In fact, you might call a barbed-wire fence a cattle mur derer. ' ' "The wire, you see, attracts the light nlng. The lightning, playing like a gold snake along the fence, leaps out wher ever there's a cow handy, and I've got another lot of fresh meat on my bands. "In the old rail-fence days a cow killed bv liehtnlng was unheard of. But now, If you go to Insure your stock you pay a higher rate if your fencing Is of wire." Mora Horse Meat. In 1006 60,000 horses were slaugh tered for food in Paris, furnishing about 12,000 tons of meat Formerly horse meat was eaten by only the poor est classes, but now It is no longer regarded as refuse meat and Its con sumption by the working classes Is rap- Idly increasing throughout Europe. Stomach Worms la Sbeep. The Louisiana Experiment Station reports the successful use of bisulphide of carbon for stomach worms in sheep. On drachm of the bisulphide was mix ed with art ounce of raw linseed oil, and that shaken up with an ounce of lime water and given as a drench. For the Farm Dairy.
