FREDDIE BOWEN TELLS
HOW HE WON CLOTHES
Freddie liowen, who won the unit
of clothes offered by Ederheiiuer,
Stehi &. Co. through Frank A. Oram,
their local agent at Hood1 Klver, to the
first boy who ehoull detect their
agent when be visited thin city, bag
received h communication from that
fl tn Bhklnrf him to tell them bow be
dixcoverud him.
Freddie has answered the letter, and
tbis la how it reads:
Put. rm ber 29, 1905.
Messrs. Ederheimer, Stciu & Co.
Ueutlumeu: Yuurn of the l'tth lust.
at hand. In reply will say, I am very
much pleitsed with my new suit of
clot hen. It titn like the muzzle on a
calf's nose and all the boys in town
are M-aloun of me, und mother is tick
led to death. 'I lie ouly regret is that
yon did not pad the pauU a little.
as I am going to school and don't get
along very noil with my teacher.
But tuking al' into consideration, I
am delighted with the deal and wish
I could get all my clothe as easy as
1 did thut Hint. 1 think you are
Hue lot of fellows, and wbeu I get big
I am going to Chicago to see you,
and maybe you will give me a job. I
like your salesman, Mr. Claybaugh,
very much, too, and the way I got
next to him would make a Pinkerton
man turn green with envy. You see
1 am shining shoes at the Mount
Hood Hotel, one of the most popular
resorts on the Pacific coast, where all
first class people stop. When Mr.
Claybaugh got into the chair to have
his shoes shiiied, I could see he was
no cheap guy, so I said, "Are you
from Kderlieimer, Stein & Co. " and
he smilod and said "Yes," and then
gave me an order for the new suit,
according to agreement.
Well, 1 guess I will close by wishing
you aJl a happy Iow rear.
Very truly yours
Freddie Bcwen.
P. S. Is Chicago as big as Hood
River?
Some Principle of drafting.
The first thing to be cotisid red by
the ft'ti it grower or nurseryman who
wishes to propagate new stock or
ohaiigo old ones by the grafting pro
cess is, will such und suoh trees or
shrubs unite their wood cells closely
and strongly so as to make a new and
perfect tree?
Never, to my knowledge, have trees
of different families been made to
unite their woods sufficiently to make
a lasting uniou. Many attempts have
succeeded fur enough only to form an
unstable graft that would break apart
sooner or later and generally before
the end of a year.
Again, it is often quite impractica
ble to obtain a good union between
members of the same family. The
rose family, to which most of our wes
tern fruits bt long, is divided into sub
families or tribes, and it is found un
natural for the members of one tribe
to graft with another tribe or sub
family. For intsunce, the apple and
pear which belong to one tribe of the
rose family, will not unite with the
plum, pouch or cherry, which bolong
to another tribe or tribes of the rose
family, in other words, you cannot
graft successfully the stone fruits with
the pome fruits. It is still more im
practicable ti graft any of these fruits
upon the most of our common forest
trees, which bel :ig to widely differ
ent families. The successful propaga
tor goes still further than this, in that
he Duds it to his interests to study
the common likes and dislikes for
each other among the various em
bers of the same family. For instance,
the peach and plum are very commou
ly gra ted or budded back and forth
upou each other. There are certain
varieties ot those fruits, however,
that are found to be better adapted
to each other than another, and it is
for the uurserymau or horticulturalist
to discover these varieties that
"work" best together.
The peach is a desirable and appro
priate stock for certain varieties of
the p urn, but there are certain varie
ties that do not form a perfect and
Listing union with the peach. I re
member at the time the Hawkeye
plum was first introduced of buying
about ten of the trees at ?1 each.
They wero budded on the peach and
wore tl no, thrifty trees as come from
the hands of the nurseryman. I set
them out in the orchard, expecting
quick and desirable returns frum
them. They had stood hardly two
years in the orchard before the; be
gan to show signs of weakness they
began to look runty. 1 dug them
out, one by one, and found a lack of
cougeuiality between the top and the
root. They wero like some people we
hear so olteu about perhaps know
some of them who get married on
sight, and after a few mouths, or at
most a few years, they find a remedy
for their uncongenial alliance in the
divorce conr's.
The piactice that prevails to quite
an extent among our nurserymen of
propagating these uncongenial varie
ties upon each other is done for the
mere sake nf gain, or In other words,
the trees, like Hodge's razors, "are
mad ti sell. " And this reminds me,
too, that the man or woman who mar
ries for the sake of sordid gain or po
sition meets a fate similar to these
tame razors. L. O. Williams.
The Halky Hers-.
Nine limes out of ten a bulxy horse
is tho result of a balky driver. Many
high strung and nervous horses are
completely ruined by bad manage
ment on the part of the one working
them. If the attention of a balking
horse ciu be diverted, half of the trou
ble U orer, yet bow few men will re
fraiu from beating him at such times.
When a horse is inclined to be
balky he should be put in charge of
the bet horseman about the place,
and not driven by every one on the
farm.
If he is inclined to stop say "whoa !"
sharply. '1 hen he will not think be
is stopping of hi ou free will. (Jet
down and walk about him, lifting Dp
cue foot und then another, tapping
them with a stone may answer in di
verting his attention ; pretend to flx
his collar, perhap bis mane is under
it an i needs attention. There are
many ways of diverting a horse's at
tention to make biiu to get bis bad
h iliits, like pouring a little water I u
in -earn oi rubbing sand in bis mouth,
lheu if you speak to the quiet horse
alongside' of him tbey may start off
together or they may not. In any
event keep cool. One scheme may
work this ti e and may never work
ou the same horse again. The ouly
alternative is to be iugenious,patient,
long suffering and kind until you Und
some other fellow that wants to take
a hand at driving a balky horse. The
Farmer.
TranHplantlns Trees. .
Mtofthe trees that are trpns
plauted come from the Juorsery.
Soma are shipped many hundred
milts, while others come from local
or nearby nnrseries. in either case
upon receipt of the trees the buyer
should see that the roots are in a
moist condition and not left to dry
out, says Prof. E. E. Little in "Wal
lace's Farmer. " If tbe weather con
ditions are unfavorable for planting,
or work so pressing that tbey cannot
be planted upon arrival, tbey should
be left in the bundle, should be well
packed aud kept in a cool cellar, or
tboy can be takeu from the handle
and tbe roots covered with soil, pro
viding the hard freezing weather is
over.
In transplanting great eare should
be exercised not to disturb the natur
al condition of the plant. Where tbe
root system has been partly destroyed
by the operation tbe plant baa been
checked in its natural growth. Tbe
ouly way to overcome this injury is
to plant with such care that tbe con
ditions surrounding it are favorable
for restoring its vitality. Tbe older
tbe tree the greater check it receives.
To aid the roots in getting a new
start it la a good plan t cut back tbe
branches one third to one-half their
length. A main central stem should
always be left. If any of tbe roots
are torn or mangled, cut off thia por
tion, leaving the roots strong and
unbroken.
Before tbe plants are taken np for
setting tbe boles should be dug suffi
ciently large ad deep to allow tbe
tree to be set a few inohes deeper than
it stood in tbe nursery. Colmau's

BY THE WAY
The Good Old Apple Time.
Away in the glow of our boyhood's
days
When hearts were silly and free,
We told our fortunes with apple seeds
That grew on a seedling tree.
'Round the blazing hearth of a win
ter's night,
With comrade merry and gay,
As the wind roared loud up tbe chim
ney's throat,
We chattered tbe hours away.
And with rhyme, and tale, and a
merry jest
We passed the laughter about,
Till tbe old corn popper and sack of
corn
From tbe "cellar-way" came out.
And up from the cellar's crowded
bins
Were the apple bowls piled bigb,
Then one an apple would peel so thin,
While tbe jeering crowd stood by.
"Three twirls round your head and
a nay it goes,
Your sweetheart's initial to spell,"
For apples wete witches with rosy
cheeks
'And a fellow's secrets might tell.
"Name for your sweetheart, and wish
a wish
Aud count tbe seeds they enfold."
Ah ! many a fortune grave or gay
Have the little black apple seeds
told.
Count, "One, I love and two I love
And three 1 love I say,
Four I love with all my heart
And five I oast away.
Six. he loves; seven, she loves;
Fight, they both love,
Niue, he comes; teu, he tarries;
Eleven, he courts, and twelve, be
mames. "
Ah, days of kughler and days of
youth,
What romance the old time yields.
But Spencer has stolon our seeds
away,
0, Burliank, leave us our peels.

This is more than the incomes from

WESTERN FRUIT FOR
KINGS AND EMPERORS
Tbe following article taken from the
Yakima Kepublio will prove interest
ing reading for Hood River apple
growers :
"Fifty boxes of Yakima apples were
furnished to J. J. Hill to be need by
Dim aa presents to some of tbe crown
ed heads of Europe and dignitaries
or America, these apples were fur
nished by tbe Yakima growers, but
none of tbe growers knew where tbey
were going to be used. About half
the number were sent out by Agent
Meeka to Mr. Hill aud the other half
were shipped by the Northern Pacific
Express company.
tbe apples Mr. Hill will give to his
intimate friends in the East. One
box will go to President Roosevelt
and tbe rest of them will be sent to
King Edward, King Wilbelm, tbe czar
and the rulers .f other countries. Tbe
apples are tbe best that were grown iu
tbe Yakima valley last year and fancy
prices were paid for them. Such a rec
ognition of tbe superior quality of
Yakima over other apple growing dis
tricts of America ia something for the
people here to be proud ot. "
If the palates and eye ot King Ed
ward, Emperor William and the Czar
should be pleased with the apples sent
them by M. Hill, we should like to
have tbem sample some of the Hood
River product. We are inolined to
think that King Edward would for
once foget to pose, tbe bellicose Ger
man emperor leave off twirling his
warlike mustache, and tbe Czar for
get his troubles, at the sight of fruit
that has no peer anywhere.
Indigestion Overcome.
Indigestion is easily overcome by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, because
this remedy digests w hat you eat and
gives the stomach a rest allows it to
recuperate and grow strong again.
Kodol relieves Indigestion, Belching of
Gas Hour Stomach, Heart-Burn, etc.,
and enables the digestiveorgans to trans
form all foods into the kind of rich red
blood that makes health and strength.

Advertising.
Tbe farmer has faith. He sees good
oorn going into a pig without having
a qualm of fear. He knows that it is
a good investment of feed and will
pay him. Tbe advertiser has not the
same faith at times. He has a spasm
every time he puts a little money into
an advertisement. Yet the money be
invests in this way pays the adver
tiser, just as tbe oorn put into the
stomach of the pig pays the farmer.

Soothing and Comforting:.
The soothing and comforting effects
of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, when
applied to Piles sores, cuts, boils, etc.,
subdues pain almost instantly. This
Salve draws out the inflammation, re

thus circulating the blo'id through tbe
diseased parts, perniiiting or aiding
Nature to permanently r. move tbe trou
