WeiW Fwecast Oregon Haiti west, ruin or miow rnt portion Iqufj-lif und tomorrow; fccHitllcrly winds, HAMPSHIR AVERAGE S245EACH MR. HEARST SkbtiKED HAT delectable plM'cptdr and guardian of tho Ameri can people in his western simi post of morality, the San Francisco Examiner, has discovered that prize fight ing must go, and that it is too brutal and demoralizing a pastime for the enlightened twentieth century to ondtire. Says Mr. Hearst, effervescing in righteous indignatien: This Inhuman sport must be abolished. The sordid, cheat ing, swindling, BUrcthlng gambling spectacles are stnge.il to delight tho passions and rob the pockctbooks of those who crowd to boo them. There Is no excuse for tho toleration of prito-flghtlug. It Is op posed to the spirit of the age. It Insults the decencies. It outrages tha humanities. It Is n Ravage anachronism, n relic of all that was worst In times when cruelty wns common, when men were little less savngo than the wild beasts, when human nature Itself seemed, through centuries oJ Ignorance nnd retrogression, to have beconio hopelessly debased. And yet this very issue of the Examiner and every other issiie of the numerous Hearst newspapers feature m "double page of sport" and on Sundays an entire section principally devoted to exploiting these "cheating, swind ling, sure-thing gambling spectacles," and making heroes out of its low-browed votaries. Every exhibition of the "inhuman sport." is written up by high-priced experts and columns of space filled wit i pen and picture descriptions of what the horror-struc c Hearst styles "awlul and tacles." And when there is dialate upon, the space is occupied by gossip and twaddle concerning the charming personalities of the pugs. Evorv time in a distant citv the "bruisers climb over the ropes with intent to beat, to maim and to slug each other into unconsciousness, moralist observes, the same "inhuman sport" by hiring a theater and two dummies to represent the aforesaid bruisers and reproduce the "shameful spectacle" after telegraph description of the original, while electric bulletins flash the fight by rounds i- i 1 .....li !.! ... 1I...1 1.1 1- it !...,. 11. ....!. io expectant inmuuuu-s mat oiock uiu euv s uimuui'u fares. This editorial hypocrisy and cant is part of the Hearst system. "Whatever can bo done to pander to vice and the vicious influences and lower the moral tone of the com munity or nation is consistently and persistently done in the news columns, while the editorial page preaches a holier than thou morality. Most of the paner appeals to the slums, while part of it to the church. While the Hearst news columns relate and illustrate in detail the scarlet sins and scandals of society, his editorial columns thunder against the white slave traffic its news stories create. Prating of the sanctity of the home in one column, the other pages are filled with pictures of fair divorcees while the peccadillos of faithless husbands furn ish a never-ending subject for his comics. "While deplor ing the viciousness of gambling and the race track in one page, special editions are issued with sure-thing tips to fatten the bookies and toutrf. Advocating purity in pol itics, Mr. Hearst loses no opportunity to assail, pursue and blacken the fair repute of honest men who refuse to wear his livery and halts at no bargain with corruption to attain his personal ends. Is there any wonder that the moral tone is low in com munities where such dollar morality papers dominate the journalistic field and youths are led by the kindly light of a Hearst? Inspect Crowns and Roots of Apple and Pear Trees Owner of pear anil npple trees hlioulil lose no time In milking care ful inspection of their orchards so ns to he Mire that no infected tree will be overlooked before the blos Homine; season open. The time ih relatively bliort, the blotsomintr per iod beiiiK but ten weeks' dUtnnl. We hope that there is no one who thinks that the inspectors have tlm lime to do the netunl work of eradication; on the other liainl, grower should co-operate with the iutipectoro m nV to make it po-siblo for them to find nil cases of hidden infection. In the many articles which have been published by thin office on pear blight, attention has been culled to the fact nil pome fruits are suscep tible in a more .or less degree to the ntincks of the peur blight germ. We know that, certain varieties or strains have a tendency to resist serious in fection, but there is no known in stnnee of immunity. It is a mistake to speak of "immune tree," because ns yet wo know of none. Some va rieties of porno fruits have high re sisting powers, and that is the best that can be said. It is a well-known fact that our commercial varieties lire not grow ing on their own roots; that is to ny, a Ilartlett tree is not all Mart let!, nor is n Newtown npple nil Newtown, for tho reason that those commercial varieties have been propagated by grufting or budding onto seedling roots. The root or stock which has been most common ly used in the past for tho propaga tion of the commercial pear is known as "French roots"; apples are in liko manner grafted or budded onto tip ple seedlings. Most often these seedling roots nre very susifptiblo to blight infection and, therefore, no innlter how resistant tho variety grafted onto them may be, thoy may become infected and thu tree lost be cause of the destruction of the root. For instance, it is known that tho Anjou and Winter Nelis pears nre more resistant to blight than many other pear varieties j tho Newtown und" Winesnp aro more resistant than the Spitzenberg, but the fact that these varieties mav have been graft ed ohlo non-resistant seedling stock makes possible severe root infection Inglitlul and sliamotui spec no "abominable spectacle" to as the indignant editorial moralist helps suppress the and n consequent destruction of the trees through the los of the roots. Munv it resistant tree mav become a total loss because of the suscepti bility of the seedling root to blight infection. Tho fact that no blight has been found in the part of the tree above the grouipl does not nee- cssurilv mean that there mav not bo crown or root infection that in, in fection below thu -raft union, lor this reason, it is the fruit growers' ,dut yto examine the crown and roots which branch from it. This may ho done by taking enough dirt away from the crown so ns to expose the branching roots. It U only within recent yenrs that tho use of resistant roots has been taken advantage of, although such has been advised for several years. Nurserymen have been convinced that it is to their interest to secure seedling stock which will have the maximum resistance to blight. The nurserymen in the Hogue Hiver val loy are among the first to adopt the plan of putting our commercial va rieties on resistant roots. They are Importing their own seedlings, and are even importing seed from the most resistant known varieties. The manner of entrance of the blight germ into the roots is rela tively simple, und there should he no wonder about it. Every orchard is full of insect life from tho very time spring opens until tho leaves begin to fall. I hnve succeeded in finding the pear blight germ on n very Inrge number of species of insects. I liavc found it on nuts, aphides, click beetles (including the larvae), i'lies, borers, canker worms, bees, mites, millipedes, etc. I have also found it on tho claws of birds. Knowing tlio carriers of infection nnd their habits, we should not wonder why blight is carried to every part of a tree. Thcro are various other means by which blight may be carried, but they need not bo mentioned here. In order to prevent, In n great degree, root and crown infection, it would be a good pint) to make use of stick bands, us has been advised. I J. O'OARA, Pathologist in charge.

Cato did live eomo 2000 years and more ago ho had an appetite not far dlferent front thai of any Iwentloth-ccntury Mulct man who got his first training back on hU father's nnrrow-acrcd farm. So It Is that Cato felt like writing down something about bow to cure hams. A Virginia farmer hns trans lated what Cato brji to say on this subject in '"no Agrleulturn.." This Is Included In itoman Kami Manage ment, which Is published by McMil lan's. After Riving Cnto's Instruc tions, tho translator goes tho great Roman ono better with somo sugges tions of his own. Hero Is what Cato says: "This Is the way to cure hams tn Jars or tubs: When you have bought your hams trim off the hocks. Take n half peck (lemldous) of ground Iloman salt for each ham. Cover tho bottom of the Jar or tub with salt and put In a ham, skin down. Cover tho whole with salt and put another ham on top, and cover this In tho same mnnner. lie careful that meat does not touch meat. So proceed, and when you havo packed, all tho hams cover the top with salt so that no meat can bo seen, nnd smooth it out even. Whon tho hams bnvo been In salt five days tako them out with tho salt and repack them, putting thoHo which were on top at tho bot tom. Cover them In tho satuo wnv with salt nnd pres thnm down. "After tho twelfth dny remove tho hams finally, brush off the salt and bang them for two-days In tho wind. On the third day wlpo them off olenn with a sponge and rub them with olive oil. Then hang thorn in smoko I for two (Injs, and on tho third day) rub thorn with a mlxtnro of ollvo oil 1 and vinegar, "The hang thorn In tho mat houso and neither bats nor worms will touch them." Thcro Cuto drops tho hum, but hit translator, who Is buppohciI to he Fairfax Harrison, recently elected president of thu Southern Hallway a--successor to the lato W. W. Flnloy. takes It up again and carries It on to tho table. Halting by tho way, he: has It cooked for, ho says: "A hnm, however well cured, Is of no use ; civilized man until It It conked," And this Is tho way ho would havo it cooked, tho way ijioy do It Vlrulnla: Soak ov.ornight In told water, hav ing first scrubbed tho hnm with u Hinull brush to icinovo all the popper, saltpeter, etc., left from tho curing process, "Put on to boll next morning In tepid water, skin downward, lcttlm It simmer on back of stove, novor to boll hard. TIiIh takos about four hours (or until It Is done) when tin hnm Is supposed to turn over, skin upward, of Its own accord, as It will If tho boiler Is largo -enough t. Sot aside over another night In tjio wat er It has boiled In, "Tho following day skin and bako In tho oven, having covered thu ham well with brown sugar basting at ln trovals with cider, Wlion It Is well baked tako It out of tho oven and bastu another 10 to 20 minutes In tho pun on top of tho Btovo. Tlio Hiignr OV OKiLKAN crust should be iulto brown and crisp when done." I. ven If Cato was a coarse and vig orous old fighter, It's likely ho would have agreed with this Virginia far mer that "to he thoroughly appro elated a ham should be carved on tin table by u pretty woman. A thlcK slice of hnm Is n crime against good breeding " THAT TIRED FEELING Siige-ts (iraiidtiuitlier's Itemed)' It's true, tho Mcauun Is hunt with Its sudden chntiitos, am the old liUa that wo need a blood medlclnu Is not without rwiMin.
