Worthy of Your Serious Confederation.
FOR some time the Hobbie Plano Co.
have been making every effort to se-
cure good reliable piano that could be
sold at . low price. Although buying
for cash, direct from the manufacturers,
and having practically the whole of
Americas manufacturers to negotiate
with, they found 1t . diff1cult thing to
do, because fret. class goods cannot be
bought at low prices. However, they
nave succeeded by making a contract
for 9 large number OF pianos. OF a
medium grade, in getting such a price
ss will enable them to sell st about
$4,000 lesa than the same instruments
were formerly sold. Musicians and the
public generally are invited to call and
examine the Russell piano, and Judge
for themselves as to how successfTl the
Hobbie Piano Co. have been in their ef-
forts. This deal will revolutionizs
prices here in this grade Of pianos.

even pigs will oft times produce the
most pounds when selling time comes.
-
In using corrosive sublimate to pre-
vent scab on potatoes, farmers should
be very careful, as 1t is deadly poison.
Never allow the solution to stand in
metallic vessels or where any live
stock could have access to it.
A hen will yield in solid matter
about four times her own weight in
one year. A COW would yield about
two tons Of butter or cheese at the
same rate Of product as the hen.
While hen will raise dozen chicks
and the COW will rear but one calf.
-
The sooner farmers quit raising the
more bulky material which goes to
pay the large dividends on watered
railroad stock the better. More NUT
ton, wool, butter, eggs, poultry, beef
and pork means less freight and big
ger profits to the farmer.
So
Fruit men should not neglect to at
tend the fruit growers convention to
be held at Salem on the 25th of this
month. 1t is of great Importance to
fruit growers to attend, as there will
be methods and wages and means dis
cussed Of properly marketing green
fruits of all kinds, which will be of
pecuniary interest to all.
-
Messrs. Catterlin s. Kent, of Salem,
were up to Scio last week and signed
five year lease for building to be
used for a creamery. They stated
that the machinery was already for
shipment and they expect to fit the.
building up with the latest improved
machinery and expect to have the
plant In running order sometime next
month. In the meantime the farmers
will rustic up large COW list and be-
fore they know 1t they will live in the
midst of prosperous dairy district.
-
There is more money made from
the well groomed COW, and no atten-
tion returns handsOmer profit than
the frequent use of the comb and
brush upon the dairy COW. Right here
is where a check can be put upon two
thirds of the impurities we drink in
milk. For a perfection dairy every
cow should be well groomed before
she is milked. The difference In the
amount of milk alone will pay for the
trouble. The perfect health of the
COW cannot possibly be, without
absolute cleanliness. She will keep
with less feed and make higher grade
butter.
