OREGON COAL FIELDS.

The Geological Survey Publishes q Late
Report on Them.
Washington, August 27.-The coal
fields of Oregon are thus summarized
by the latest report of the geological
survey:
The coal fields of Oregon, so far as
yet known, all lie west of the Cascade
range and north of Rogue river. Most
of them are among the mountains gen.
orally known in Oregon as the Coast
range, but others occur at the western
foot of the Cascade range. Four fields
will be noticed-the upper Nehalem
coal field, in Columbia county; the
lower Nehalem coal fields. in Clatsop
county; the Yaquina coal fields, in
Lincoln county and the Coos Bay coal
fields, in Coos county. Traces of coal
have been fond in many other parts of
the state. The greatest hindrance to
the development of the Oregon coal
fields is the lack of transportation.

ABOUT s SOIL1N'G n CRo OPS. u
q Subject That II being Studied Close-
II Just Now by All Progress
I've Dairyme n &. ss{

An old adage hath it that closing
the barn door after the theft Of the
horse is not the best method Of pre-
venting burglary. Yet it is held to
be worth while as a discourager Of
further pilfering. The dairyman who
this past summer has seen his cows
shrinking, feels inclined to shut the
barn door. How may he do this
best? If he has planted soiling crops
like peas and oats, Hungarian millet,
and the like, and has been supple
menting the dying pastures with
green feed in the barn or yard, he
has closed the door before rather
than after the theft Moreover, the
necessity for the summer feeding of
grain is greatly lessened. If he has
no recourse to soiling crops, nothing
but buying grain can lessen the
.shrinkage. The. Vermont experiment
station has for many years expert
mented with soiling crops, and recon-
mends to dairymen the large use of
summer ensilage and of oats and peas
sown at weekly intervals, and fed
during July and August. Ensilage is
probably the cheaper food; oats and
peas somewhat the better. If the
former is contemplated as a steady
summer diet for years, it would be
well to consider the erection of spe-
sial summer silo, preferably round,
with small diameter and a relative
ly greater depth. Ensilage spread
over large surface in summer spoiis
rapidly and loses largely in feeding
value. If oats and peas be chosen,
they should be sown in successive lots
at weekly intervals, the two sown
separately, the peas first rather deep
ly and narrowed in; the oats two or
three days later and pushed in. A
better, catch is likely to be secured in
this way than if sown together. The
crop may be either fed green, hayed
or put in the silo. Let those whose
July and August milk yields prove
disappointing try ensilage or oats and
peas next year.-Country Gentleman.

ELIXIR OF YOUTH FOUND.
This Time It -Consists Of Distilled
Wafer and Olive Oil-Used by
q Californian.

Sanford Bennett, one of the Encinal
city's wealthiest and best citizens, has
discovered, so he declares. the way to
secure lasting youth. As evidence
Of the worth of his find Mr.. Bennett
offers his magnifcently preserved
physique, his clear eye and his mus
cular development, says the San Fran
cisco Call.
The articles which have accom-
pldshed so much for this experiment
are distilled water and olive oil.
Mr.. Bennett has decided to let the
world know how he has made use of
his secret and has actually, he be-
lieves, found, that which Ponce De
Leon searched in vain for centuries
ago. &.'- .@,.
Mr.. Bennett is So years old. His ap-
pearance is that of man of % years.
He has buildedI hopes of reaching 1O8
years before he dies. A few years ago
the discoverer of the vehicles of per-
petual youth was as bald as a billiard
ball. The OIL applied to the top of his
head, restored the hair so that now
there is a flowing shock. covered by
an enlarged hat. It is his purpose to
give a public lecture soon on "How
Not to Grow Old and How to Live
Long" Mr.. Bennett will give the lec-
ture as matter of self-protection,
for of late he has been pestered by
hundreds of the aged and infrm who
want to get instructions first-hand in
the matter of the use of "Dr. Sanford
Benefits Youth Restorer."
It is Mr.. Benefits theory that old
age and i'll health are caused by the
collection in the arteries and about
the joints of lime and clay sediments
contained in drinking water. This
mineral coating, he believes, inter-
rupts the proper circulation of the
blood, prevents the necessary irriga-
ton of the skin, produces stiffness of
the joints and dulls the action of the
brain.
"Distilled water and olive oil, one
used internally, the other externally,
are my elixirs of youth" declared Mr..
Bennett. '"They will counteract the
decaying conditions in the body. You
must drink large quantities of dis
titled water and rub yourself with.
pure California olive oil and take a
moderate amount of exercise. That is
the secret which my friends have SO
long wished to learn" ,""'

HELPFUL FIGURES.
Cost of Raising Calves for Eeef
Production Where Feeding LIS
Done systematically.

The Nebraska experiment. alton re-
ports on the cost of raising calves for
beef production:
The cost of raising calves dropped by
six COWS showing Short Horn or Here
ford blood was recorded. The cows cost
dropped after February 1, 1898. They
were allowed 10 run with their dams
from birth until the latter part of Au-
gust. Two of them were then stabbed
and fed six pounds of alfalfa hay and.
one pound of mixed grain ration con-
sisting of ground oats and corn, bran
and oil meal, 4:4:1. The oats and corn
were ground together in the propor-
tion of 1:2. In the latter part of Oc-
tober all the calves were weaned and
fed alfalfa with ground oats and corn,
1:2. The ration was gradually in
creased to 20 pounds of alfalfa and
four pounds of grain per head per
day. The latter part of January, 1899,
a pound of bran was added to the daily
ration. The cows were fed one year
and the calves until April 1880. In
discussing the financial returns, braz
was rated at 50 and alfalfa at s. per
ton; oil meal at $1.45 per hundred
weight, and corn and oats each at rs
cents per bushel. The total cost of pro-
duction, including keeping the COWS, is
estimated at $1,000. Making suita BILE
allowance for cost of feed and interest
4l1 of hn
calculates that there was a profit of
S10.96 per head, the calves being worth
$3.50 per hundred pounds.
