Two years l was afflicted with a very severe
attack of erysipelas. After two physicians
had used their treatment for several weeks
and l continued growing blind and ia their
diagnosis concluded that there was no earth

tried all the remedies knew or heard Of.
My neighbor, Mr.. Miller, came in to see
me one day, and said try Loose's Extract of
Red Clover, as he had known Of its working
remarkable cures. l told him had lost
hope, that nothing would do me any good
in this world. He insisted, and taking his
hat went to the drug store and bought me
one bottle and urged me to try it, which /
did. Ten days afterwards ] sent for two
more bottles, and it was wonderful how |

The What and Why of Agricultur-
al Experiment Stations---Farmers
Bulletin No. l, issued by the Office of
experiment stations of the u. S. de-
partment of agricultural, Prof w. O.
Atwater, director. This is brief ac-
count of the experiment stations, what
they are, what they are doing and
how they do it, together with short
history of the origin and development
of experiment station work in this
country and account of the work in
the same line in Europe. An i'm
mense amount of interesting and val
liable information is compressed with
in the narrow limits, Is pages, of this
little pamphlet. Amongst other
things we learn that no other country
in the world has undertaken scientific
work for the benefit of its farmers on
such a vast scale as the United States;
that in great many cases a single
line of investigation pursued at an
experiment station has saved more
money to the farmers of the State than
its entire cost Of maintenance that
the effect on the farmers themselves
in spite of the short time the expert
ment stations have been in existence
has been most marked, inducing them
to seek to apply the results Of scien-
tific research to their work. This
work costs the country, including
both State and national appropriation,
over 100000. and employs over $40
scientific men. This expense, howev-
err, is but a trifing one in comparison
with the annual value of our agricul-
tural products, which is not less than
1900 million dollars.-U. S. Reports.

The lefty Causing an Improvement.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE report
of Major Thomas Handbury. engineer
in charge of the Improvements at the
mouth of the Columbia river, and The
report OF Lieutenant Edward Burr on
the canal at the Cascades, have been
received at the war department. The
existing project at the mouth of the
river was carried on successfully dur
ing the year. Congress appropriated
in 1888, half million dollar8. There
was expended during the year 1867,
600, Major Handbury thinks $780,
600 can be profitably expended dur
ing the next fiscal year.
The governments plant has been
largely increased during the past year
The tramway for dumping rock was
extended 4, JIG feet during that period
and 63, ,46S tons of rock was received
and dumped into the jetty.
The engineer reports that the effect
of the new work can already be seen
in the filling in of the flats south O
the ietty, and the Strengthening of the
channel over the bar.

Get the School Books Now.

1t is probably generally known says
the Corvallis Times, that a change
has been made in common school text
books in Oregon, that will go into ef-
feet this fall. 1t will cost the people
of the state thousands of dollars to
make this change unless they take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered by
the publishers. This opportunity is
offered, not because of the generosity
of the school book monopoly, but be-
cause they were compelled to do so
before the change would be sane
toned by the county superin-
tendents. For instance: The Barnes
New National Reader has been ad-
opted, and every student in our com
mon schools must procure one of the
new books. These books, however,
may be purchased at a nominal price
or exchanged for old readers until
the 31st of next October; after that
time no exchange will be made, and
they can only be purchased at the us
ual retail price. To show the advan-
tage of securing these books before the
end of October, we quote the prices
the monopoly are compelled to sell
for now, and the prices that will be
charged at the expiration of that
time:
