By Stat Market Agent. One of the most active and efficients departments of the state is the Sealer of Weights and Measures, which is now under the State Market Agent, and the quarterly report just filed has much interesting data. This depart raent will weigh one hundred tons of hay at nine o'clock and jump to milk bottles the next hour; it will inspect a loadometer and then berry boxes; it will inspect two or three thousand scales and then go to pill slips and mattresses; it jumps from candy boxes to gasoline pumps, and then onto water meters, wood piles, bread loaves, flour, honey, lard and scores of other things, It is called the "sol id boiled" department because of the fact that the officials never cover up or play favorites they report accord ing to the facts. During the three months of the re port just covered there were 3,332 scales inspected, sealed, adjusted and condemned; 7,270 weights inspected, and 7 condemned; 3,022 liquid meas-J ures were inspected and 26 condemn ed; 594 gasoline pumps were inspect ed and 10 put out of business, and there were about 75 other inspections of various kinds. If a irood dealer gives hort measure a request to the department will bring a deputy to the place in quick time; if a poultry buyer uses faulty scales the depart ment will be hot after him on re quest. Everything under weight and measures will be investigated with out charge. This department is one of the utmost benefit to paoducers and consumers generally. How to Use Concrete.

A. C, Corvaljis. These booklets give estimates on cost, blue prints, how to mix and much generaf infor mation. New Flax Harvesting Machine. The Campbell ranch in Montana is working out a system that might be well worth while for flax growers in the.
