Farm Pointers
Pork is the most popular meat in
the American diet, and its per cap
ita consumption last year amounted
to nearly 73 pounds.
Powdery mildew of roses is a dif
ficult disease to handle. The best
way Is to start sa soon as new
growth begins in the spring and
apply the finest dusting sulphur
obtainable at weekly intervals, says
the Oregon Experiment station. The
early morning while the air is still
is the best time to make the appli
cations. The early spring is the best time
to poison gray digger squirrels, says
the Oregon Extension service. The
squirrels have not been out of hiber
nation long, consequently are hun
gry and will take poison more read
ily than at any other time. The poi
soned grain may be obtained from
any county agent, at cost.
Oregon now has 275 subordinate
granges, located in scattered com
munities in every county of the
state.
Maggots have been causing con
siderable loss to cattlemen this
spring following the dehorning of
their yearlings, and the danger in
creases with the advent of warmer
weather. The best treatment is to
put in the cavity something that
will vaporize quickly, such as gaso
line, ether, or chloroform, and to
rub the top of the head with pine
tar, says the Oregon Experiment
service. Careful watching is nec
essary to see that the treatment is
proving effective. Early dehorning
in ordinary seasons avoids the trouble.
Thp Hprret nf success in conking:
eggs, and dishes in which eggs pre
dominate, is to cook slowly, at a
mode rate, even temperature.
A Horse For
An Hour and
Twenty Minutes
Imagine the work a strong, tireless horse
could do for you in an hour and twenty min
utes, never stopping to rest, but pulling stead
ily and evenly.
One horsepower for an hour and one-third
is approximately one "kilowatt-hour," the unit
by which electric service is measured to you.
Its power to serve you is much more ver
satile, more flexible than that of the horse.
You can make it lift tons or wash your most
delicate clothes.
You can make it flood acres or toast your
bread a delicate brown.
You can make it saw your wood or freeze
a dessert.
It will perform innumerable tasks at the
snap of a switch !
We have made ready for your use an un
failing supply of this stupendous force.

Height of Sarcasm
Sending an applause card to the
telephone company when getting
the right number.
In the underworld, "a yard
wide" means a pint of gin. And
the code name for canned heat,
no doubt, is a yard of crepe.
"A man may come into this world
without anything on him," remarks
Geo. Bleakman, "but just let him
run for office and he'll find out it's
different."
And we have just heard an amaz
ing tale of a traitor who was shot
at sunrise, but managed to sleep
it off before breakfast.
There are many courses open to
the nuin who is ambitious, but It
uuitliy costs a couple of dollars or
so for eighteen holes.
Then there was the Irish gen
tleman who was glad he didn't
like bacon, because he knew
that if he did like it, he would
eat it, and he hated the darned
stuff.
In spite of our skepticism man
has finnlly made a complete con
quest of nte air. He can now fly
like a bird, but he still has lots to
learn from his feathered friends. It
will be a long time, for instance, be
fore he is able to sit comfortably
on a barbed wire fence.

"How long in jail fo Mose?"
"Two weeks."

"Ah mean, what has yo' did?"
"Done shot my wife."

Early Morning Blaze
Destroys Hill Home
Fire destroyed the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Hill, located six
miles southeast of Heppner on Wil
low creek at about 5 o'clock Satur
day morning. The blaze is believed
to have started from the flue with
which the heating stove was con
nected. Mr. Hill had been sick, and
after starting the fire had gone back
to bed. A short time later the con
flagration was discovered by one of
his sons.
A washing machine and a cream
separator were all that were sav
ed. The home is partially covered
by Insurance. The family is resid
ing in a house in which they lived
before building the one destroyed
by fire. They plan rebuilding soon.
