Information reached the Agricultur

presence in Alsea of the sheep disease
with ;Whlch he flocks of 5V. W. Haw
ley were affected last year, says the
Corvallis Times. 1 The, ailment affects
the lips and nostrils,' which -become
badly swollen and render eating and
breathfng difficult. It, first appears in
: the nature of rJrnples which multiply
Incumber until the whole) surface of
the affected parts becomt Involved. ;
" Ultimately the prinples resolve them
" selves .Into postudes and become conflu
ent, farming, a hard outer scab under
which Is tu- The whole takes on a
highly Inflamed condition, and seems to
f be very annoying to the affected anf-
the ground, which In turn increases
the violence of the symptoms. .
The disease Is infectious, but not
necessarily fatal.. Of 00 or 700 affect
m1 in A. W. Ilawley's D)nd last year,
less than half a dozen died. Equal parts
of k.ththyol and 'vaseline applied to
the parts is" a speedy and effective rem
eay. (There are also several oiner reui-
. - ediefj onje of which are less expensive
than isththyol and Vaseline treatment.

cheese In a marked degree.
"The 'demand ; for butter and cheese
In Japan is also growing, arid will con
tinue to increase. The most remarka
ble growth In both of. these countries
in consumption of dairy products, how
ever, Is condensed milk. Butter Is
consumed largely by ; foreigners, b.
the natives are taking a fancy to tinned
milk of the 3 wee tenet kind, and It can
be-found in the native stores as far, as
our cotton goods ptnetrate, and much
farther into the Interior than our flour

medicine for the sick and. health' food
for children, and It Is also believed
that It has power to revive vitality and
gire the forces of youth to old age,
The growth of this sentiment through

Is' constantly far below the demand,

THE RIVER RISING

SUDDEN CHANGE OF WEATHER
CAUSES ALARM ALONG "THE ;

The heavy rain of Tuesday has had
the effect of bringing the ''river up
again. The rise was over three feet
the twenty-four hours ending at 6
o'clock .last night, registering at that
tour, 8 feet above low, water; mark.
The sudden moderation of the weath
er during the past twenty-four hours
has caused some little apprehension
among those having property contigu
ous' to the river, as it is feared that the
rapid melting of the heavy fall of snow
in the mountains and the'foothills will
cause the swelling of the rivtr beyond
Its, banks. ; '

The Popular Idea That It Comes From
the Kidneys 4Not Warranted '
t . By Facts." - .
People who IiniKlne that iackache,
p;:ln. Irritation, sornes or tenderness
in the back 4s a sure sign of kidney
trouble, are victims of a great error.
Not more than one backache In a hun
dred, -comes from kidney trouble. The
fact is, kidney diseases usually do not
cause ' any phlri, and are often unsus
pected until y eerious complications
arise.. '
Backache is generally , caused by
heart, liver and female troubles, mus
cular rheumatism, lumbago, constipa
tion, or some Irritation of tha -i nerre
centers which radiate frorh the lower
portlcn of'the spinal chord. To try and
cure these troubles by the use of kid
ney remedies is worse than useless.
In all cases of backache that contin
ues for more than a Tew days, it is bet' 1
tor to consult- a physician who makes
a specialty of.'chronic 3Jid lingering
diseases, and who has paid 'special at
tenticn to the prolifJcV subject of back
ache. From his large experience he has

SWEDEN UNDERSTOOD AMERICA.
Now that the question as to who was
our" friend at the time of the 'war' with
Spain has been threshed out, one might
start a discussion as to who really
thought that we were going to win.
At the Hotel Manhattan yesterday, C.
8. Clark, of Chicago, was lei 11ns of a
trip he took through Europe In the
summer of 1898, and of What he found
thj sentiment on this question; to be.
"Outside of England, which we who
were abroad that year felt to be really
like home, I found but one place where
it was thought we would win. In
France we were- foolish.- In ? Austria
they had us paying an indemnity to
Spain, but up in Sweden I: found, a
young officer In a naval station who
was confident that we would wipe out
the Spanish navy. Somehojr or other
he had managetf to see something of
the inside of the Spanish navy, and
alio, of the navy of the United States,
and hence, he said, came hla confidence.
IVTemember, too, he remarked to me,
If you do whip Spain, you will have
to double your navy. That's the pen
alty of victory. I found many other
people In Sweden who were ' most
friendly to us f" they all seemed to have
a most genuine regard for Ihe United
Slates 'and admiration for our power
and our methods of doing things."
