OREGoN's TIRE BILL.
A Long Step Toward the Securing Of
Good Roads and Their Per-
manent Preservation.

Though the wide-tire movement
moves slowly, it is very gratifying to
know that it does move, at least, in
spots. One of these favored spots is
the enterprising state of Oregon,
which has passed the following bill:
Bates bill, to encourage the use
of wide tires on wagons, which has
passed with only one negative vote
reads as follows:
THAT from and after the first day
of January, A. D. 1900, the county court
or county board Of each county within
this state is hereby authorized to make
a rebate each year for four years, on
the road tax of each person within its
county who shall own and have in hab-
itual use on the highways of this state
wagons or other vehicles for the trans
portation of freight and other heavy
articles the tires of which are not less
than three inches in width, of ST. for
each wheel of such vehicle; and. pro-
vided, further, that the owner of each
vehicle having tires of not less than
four inches in width, upon which there
is difference Of at least eight inches
in the length of the front and rear axle,
so constructed that the front and rear
wheels will not come in contact with
the same road surface while the vehicle
is moving in straight line, shall re-
ceive, in addition to the aforesaid re.
bate, a further rebate for four years in
his or her road tax as aforesaid, of So
for each vehicle of this class for each
and every year during said period that
said vehicle is habitually used upon the
highways of this state"
This bill promises to induce farmers
to do, in a voluntary way, what COM
pulsory bill would force them to do
unwillingly. It is MISUNDERSTOOD
fact that if few wagons in each local
ity are fitted with wide tires, they will
serve as most potent object lesson.
Oregon has taken a long step toward
the securing of good roads and in
keeping them good.

ELLIPTIcAL FLOWER BED.
Il Forms Quite an Attractive Feature
for the Farmhouse or City
OPnamental Garden.

A bed in the shape of this figure
would be called by some an oval, but it
q not. It is the figure known in mathe-
natics as an ellipse. To describe it on
he surface of the ground plant two
stakes firmly as at A and B. Stretch
double cord as tightly as possible by
pointed stick or any convenient mark
r., and, keeping it at its utmost tension,
move it around the line ALB, and it will
describe the curve of the ellipse. If
the length of the doubled cord be
only slightly greater than the dis
lance from A to B, the ellipse will be
long and narrow. If the cord be con-
sderably longer than the line ALB, the
figure will be hardly distinguishable
rom a circle.
AS the outlines of the bed may be-
come obliterated in course of time by

LITTLE DAIRY POINTERS.

If the butter is too soft feed the COW
some potatoes.
If the butter is notified work it q
little after sailing.
Whitewashed stables mean fewer
flies and more milk.
Stringy milk can be cured by feed
ing the COW clean hay
Wash all the milk vessels with cold
water before scalding
Crosses are usually better for farm
ers than pure breeds.
Whenever possible test the cows
milk before buying her.
A cow that tests below three per cent.
is not worth keeping.
Many dairymen like an ounce of salt
to the pound of butter.
Cows and horses should not be al
lowed in the same pasture.
Richer feed does not mean richer
milk; it means more milk.
Do not wet your hand when milking;
if you do you flavor the milk.
You waste 25 per cent. of your butter
in summer by not using separator.
Heating milk to 16O degrees Pasteur-
ICES it. Stir it continually while hot.
If the butter takes too long to come
add one to two fresh cows to the dairy.
Adding hot water to cream while
churning is the worst Of all practices.
When the butter is poor do not blame
the cow. Blame your own want Of
skill.

wearing away from storms, or by the
.ncroachment of grass and weeds, it
would be well to leave the stakes at
4 and B in position permanently. Keep
ing a memorandum of the length of the
doubled cord, the curve can be retraced
1t any time, and it's symmetry of shape
restored. Very good stakes for the
purpose can be made from an old broom
handle. Painted and projecting but
few inches above the surface of the
ground, they will not disfigure the
bed.
AS it may sometimes be desirable to
make a bed of known dimensions we
have added to the sketch the dotted
lines shown. The bed described is in
The proportion of by IL feet. Lay out
an oblong of the desired size, divide the
length and breadth into halves and
measure from center G to point D, and
with this distance describe from E the

1T intersections A and B and take a
string around A B F, then using E as
a marker, describe the desired figure,

HANDY FODDER SLED.
Useful in Many Places About the
Farm, and a Great Saver OF
Labor and Trouble.

Hauling shocked corn fodder or cane
from the fields is hard and tedious
job where the hauling is done with
wagon and rack-the usual method.
Then, too, the tearing down of the
shock. the throwing of it upon the rack
and the unloading of it again break
off the leaves and dry stems. This job
is greatly simplified and much is saved
in fodder and labor if a sled is built for
the hauling. The runners of the sled

EARLY GARDEN WORK.
Ployv the Soil Deep and Thoroughly
and Apply Manure That II
Evenly ROtted.

I It is essential that the soil of the
garden be rich to have early crops and
tender vegetables. 1t should be loan
and be well drained so that it will dry
out readily, warm up early and be cas-
lily prepared in good time for the re-
ception of the seed.
If a quick termination of the seed is
secured the soil must be in good filth
so that the seed will come in close con-
tact. as with all seeds certain amount
of heat and moisture are essential to
termination and contact with the soil
Is necessary If good growth is to be
maintained.
Pillow deep and thorough and then
work into a good filth. When manure
is applied, have it thoroughly rotted
and fine and then incorporate well
with the soil.
Applying fresh coarse manure is in
advisable, because it increases the la
Dor of preparing the soil in a good
filth, it contains more or less weed and
grass seed that make the work of cul-
tivation more difficult, and the plant
food not being in an available condi-
ton, cannot be used by the growing
plants. Rather than use coarse, fresh
manure, it win be better to purchase
and use commercial fertilizers.
Wood ashes and poultry manure can
aearly always be used to a good ad-
vantage in the garden, especially as a
top dressing, and with some crops, like
radishes and lettuce, rotten chip
manure from the wood pile can be used
to an advantage. When either of these
is used good plan is to prepare the
soil in good condition for the recep-
tion of the seed and then apply these
as top dressing, working well into
the surface with good garden rake.
Poultry manure being a concentrated
fertilizer, should be applied carefully,
as too much will burn the plants and
prove detrimental.
Some crops. like onions. lettuce,
radishes. beets and the early varieties
of peas, may be sown as soon as the
soil in the garden will work readily
into a good filth, then later paintings
can be made on through the season.

Life Saved by Swamp Root.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought.to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But hot until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer. the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit. announced the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such q
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regula ton and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in 50
many ways, in hospital work. in private
practice. among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
