Capt. L. S. Scott was drilling
the company one afternoon at
Fort Yafnllill, and in putting it
through the manual of arms we
came to the position of ''guard

thrown twenty inches to the rear
and the body resting equally on
both legs, etc. Private Gri1nsly,
who could see something to
laugh at or about, even a tomb
stone, broke loose. Capt. Scott
was mad, mad clear through,
and turned on Grimsly in very
savage manner, demanding to
know what was the occasion of
his unseemly ,1nirth.

has been recognized as a power in

The boasted refinement and ed
ucation of Corvallis people was
not shown to advantage last Sat-
urday, when a couple of rowdies
deliberately walked to the city
limits, near the college and en-
gagged in a 'fistic encounter to set
tie some real or supposed griev-
ance between them Good men
often come to blows in the heat
of passion, but the occurrence in
question savors of a brutality sim
liar to pugilism. The contestants
might be excused in a measure for
such a gross breach of good citi-
zenship, but there can be no posi-
BILE excuse for the motley crowd
that followed them TO the battle
ground, and fiend-like watched
one of the fighters almost beaten
to death without raising hand to
stop the disgracetul proceedings.
In going to the scene the sheriff's
office was passed, yet no one of
the followers notified that officer
of what was soon to occur, that
each one OF them knew to be a
breach of the peace. By their
presence at the fray they willingly
lent their counteLance to a
violation Of the law, besides evi-
dencing a most brutal nature.
Such persons can not rightfully
claim to be peaceable, law -abid-

that in and around Corvallis live

AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set, and
that every invested or suspected pear
be picked off and completely de-
stroyed, while If an orchard is gener-
ally infested the following practice is
recommended.
Cultivate as usual or, if the orchard
is in grass or clover, plow under after

with kainit 1000 pounds to the acre,
to benefit trees as well as to kill the
insects. AS soon as proper, say early
in August, SOW crimson clover. This
will use up the potash not required by
the fruit trees, and will store nitrogen
as well as occupy the ground. Early
the following spring turn their sod

are developed in order to head off and

practice is, at the same time, the best
for the benefit of the orchard.

Dampness In Poultry Houses.

When a poultry house is lined with
tarred paper it is frequently the case
that the house is damp. This is due to
several causes, among them being that
new lumber gives off more or less
moisture, and tarred paper condenses
the moisture of the room. When the
house is thoroughly seasoned this may
not happen The doors and windows
should be kept open during the day,
and during cold weather a lump OF
stone lime should be placed in the cor
ner of the room to absorb the moisture.
1t is not due to the exhalations from
the birds, but rather to the dampness
of the atmosphere, which is condensed
by the cold tarred paper. Ordinary
building paper dees not condense the
moisture. The damp boards will also
give off considers Bile moisture in the
room, which will be condensed and
precipitated on the colder tarred paper

ADVICE FOR LAWMAKERS.

THE hay loader is great saver of
labor, yet on many of the smaller
farms it may not be good policy to pur-
chase one.
WHEN timothy is wanted for the
seed allow it to get well ripened; then
cut with self-binder and treat much as
you would wheat.
If the hay is to be shocked rake it in
much as possible in handling. Treated
this way it is easier to load and there is
less trouble in making good stack
1T is best to start the mower in the
morning after the dew is gone. II
the hay is cut while still wet, especial
ly if dew is very heavy, the effect
will be somewhat like that of light
shower.
WHERE there is considerable clover
mixed with hay it will pay to use a
tedder, especially during rainy weather
where it is desirable to get it into
the barn or stack as quickly as pos
sible after cutting
AS A general rule timothy hay cut
when about half through blooming is
most desirable for all purposes. The
leaves and stalks then contain the
most digestible matter, seed does not
shatter, and there is little waste in
feeding.
AFTER the hay is partially dried, put
it into small shocks and let it there
dry out completely. Cured in this way
it retains green color and is much
more readily eaten. The object is tc
cure with the least possible exposure

Providing Food for Plants,

There is perhaps no part of the farm
crs work so deeply shrouded in mys-
terry, and therefore so little under
stood, as that which relates to the
selection and application of manu.es.
Yet it is generally acknowledged that
in point of Importance the question
involved in this connection is unsur-
passed. Manuring land is simply an
other term for providing food for the
plants that may be sown thereon. The
principle is the same as that observed
in the feeding of animals; the differ.
enee is merely in detail. Animals we
feed direct, plants we furnish through
the refining agency of the soil. But

tempt for such romantic trust in the
sincerity of wooer who had been
known but one summer, and the dis
cussion ended there.
Charles Williams was puzzled and
angry, decidedly SO. To the best of
his knowledge he had written thirty
five letters to Miss Millicent Darrell,
the younger, in as many days, not one
of which she had deemed worthy of an
answer.
"She's just like the rest of EN-" he
told his best friend when lamenting
the fact.
80 innocent and true she seemed,
too. What fool was to believe her.
She's nothing but COMPOUNDED flirt.
I'll think no more about her."
Contrary to his declaration of forget
fulness, he thought more about her
than ever, and the consequence was
that he went down to Chelsea station
the next day to investigate the case.
The explanations which directly fol-
lowed his arrival convinced each young
person of the faithfulness of the other,
and Miss Darrell acknowledged her in
ability to interpret ones nature from
the physiognomy.
But there was one question confront
ing them, and that was: Where were
those letters?" Thirty-fve epistles,
all heavy-laden with deepest feeling,
could hardly have gone astray. The
only possible solution was that some
one must have taken them, but who
could it have been? Miss Darrell left
the lovers discussing the point, and,
putting on her shawl, went quickly
down to the post office. The deacon
was alone.

the bundle of letters, gave them t,

devotion. Through youth and the
first years of his manhood she had
been his star of Bethlehem, as it were,
fully as unapproachable as though
she had in reality occupied position
in world far beyond the sphere
wherein he dwelt.
She may have been aware of the
homage that was hers, but had given
no encouragement to the admirer, who
was too faint hearted to give express
sion to his regard by word or sign, but
who hopelessly waited for some one
else to win the prize that he so much
valued. But for reasons best known
to herself alone Miss Darrell preferred
life of single blessedness to one of
double wretchedness, and passed con-
tentedly and comfortably into state
of oldmaidenhood, and the postmaster
settled down into chronic, lovelorn
melancholy, from which comatose con-
dition he was partially aroused now
and then by the thought that she
might yet change her mind and honor
some unfortunate being with her heart
and hand.
So that was the situation when Miss
Darrell went down to the seashore one
summer to visit her brother. Silas

givings during her absence, lest wha,

MARKETING HONEY.
Points to BE Considered In Rendering
Combs Attractive.

COMBS Attractive.
The finer grades of comb honey will
perhaps always remain luxury and
progressive beelSaepers will continue
to produce 1t in the most attractive
form possible Most apiarists recog-
nize that it is the beautiful appearance
of section of honey, more than any
thing else, that helps to sell it. AL
though some produce it for their own
use or to give to their friends, they
find great satisfaction In having it
just as nice as 1t can be. In order to
have it so furnish the hives with bright
new sections holding not over one
pound each and filled with foundation.
OF sections beekeepers have full con.
troll and if they fail TO use the best
they themselves and not the bees are
to blame Over the honey filed in by
the bees they have not so much con-
troll, and often after the most careful
planning, snow-white sections are
found filed with honey-dew almost as
black as ink. To get my ideal of Sec
ton honey, separators must be used,
| says writer in American Bee journal.
They should be as wide as the sections,
and no part of the outside must be ex-
posed to the travel of the bees. Foun-
dation in full sheets is almost indis-
pensable to get the bees to attach the
comb to the section bottom. When all
is well done, and the beautiful white
capped honey in new white sections is
taken from the hive the apiarist
wonders whether anything else
can be done to make the prod
uct more attractive. Many attempt
to make it so in various ways. l have
seen honey on the market In sections
which were painted bright red,
others which were stained cherry
red, or mahogany color, However,
this seemed to add little to its appear
ance. 1t rather indicated that some
thing was covered up, the honey had a
queer look, and II the sections were
new and clean, the paint and stain
were only 'detriment. Others try to
gain the desired result by placing the
producers's trade mark or name upon
each section in bright red ink by
means of rubber stamp. This not
only serves to advertise the producer,
but slightly enhances the appearance
of the product if the work is neatly
done.
As to the shipping cases hold these
sections, it is not so important about
paint and stain. / have seen cases
painted a black walnut color, that
really looked quite neat, and the
white edges Of sections, and delicate
comb honey, looked very attractive
through the glass. l should prefer tc
ship my honey in cases painted black
rather than have them stained OF
dirty. But even when applied to ship
ping cases, it is very doubtful If any
thing can be gained by paint-nothing
seems SO neat and bright as new
planed boards. The winter the WOOD
the better it pleases me for sections
even though the comb is capped vel
low, or even dark. Somehow it lend.
charm of neatness. which can be Sc
cured in no other way.

WHITE HOLLAND TURKEY COCK

colored skin, with pinkish tinge,
which is very attractive. The flesh is
white and juicy.
White Hollands have clear white
plumage, though during summer, like
other white fowls, they become more
or less yellow. The bills and feet are a
yellowish color They are good layers
and excellent mothers, generally mat.
ing quite early. They are not consid'
cred so hardy as the bronze and some
other varieties and not so commonly
seen.
The white Holland is much larger
than the common white turkey, with
which it should not be COMPOUNDED. It
traces it's origin to the Netherlands
and Belgium and is sometimes termed
the Flemish. It's feathers are very
valuable, as they possess the softness

At the disappointment SIS that ALP

soul and the letter secreted in his pri-

human passion, from most tender af-

ure to elicit reply, and each, as it
arrived, was read by Mr.. Gardner with
sort of grim satisfaction and depos-
tied with It's predecessors.
