Lane county is last becoming one OF
the great cattle producing counties in
the State. The mild winters, the fact that
native grasses remain green during the

grasses can be raised make il m excel.

The general practice OF Lane county
farmers is to provide fodder for only u
small part OF the year, during the bal

The Young Mans Chances To-day.

"a young man Of capacity, in
dustry and integrity has field for
individual effort such as has never
before existed in this country"
writes Edward Box of "The Times
and the Young Man." in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. "And sue
cess is neither harder nor easier
than it ever was. Success never yet
came to the laggard, and it never
will. Let young man be capable,
have enterprise, be willing to work
and carry himself like a man, and
he goes where he will. His success
depends upon himself. No times,
no conditions, no combinations OF
Icapital can stop a young man
who has a determination to honor
ably succeed, and who is willing to
work according to the very utmost
Of his capacity and sinews Of
strength. The real trouble is that
the average young man won't work.
He has gotten the insane notion in.
to his head that success comes by
luck; that men are made by oppor-
|tunities which either com, to the n
or are thrust upon them.

Refused Thousands OF Dollars.

The people who read newspapers
and magazines have, SIS rule, be-
lief that publishers have no con
science about loading up their peri
odicals with advertisements at the
cost Of reading matter. Yet occa-
sionally some proof comes to the
surface that publishers have some
lscruples in this respect. The Ladies'
Home Journal, for example, will ac-
cept just SO many columns Of adver.
tisements, and no more. This pro-
portion, for instance, is 20 columns
of advertisements as against IL
columns of reading matter in each
issue Of As pages. When the ad
vertising space is full all business il
declined. The skeptical may ask
"But is there any business to de
cline?" There is, decidedly. Fol
nearly every issue during 1900 there
were from four to twenty-six more
columns of desirable advertising re-
ceived than could be accepted, and
as each column in the Journal costs
$1,000 the publishers turned away
thousands Of dollars, which, simply
because Of principle, they would moi
accept. So the interests OF the pub
lie are sometimes regarded where
they are not popularly supposed tc

Painted Woodwork.

To keep painted woodwork look
ing fresh, all one needs to do is to
clean it with whiting, which is by
far the best thing to apply to paint.
A flannel cloth should be dipped in
to clean warm water, then squeezed
nearly dry. Dip it into the whiting
and let it take up as much OF the
whiting as will adhere to it. Little
rubbing is necessary to remove the
dit from the paint, which should
then be washed with clear water and
dried. Tea, slightly warm, is by
some housekeepers used in cleaning
paint, the tannic acid removing the
dust or dirt from the wood quickly.
Paint stains that by any mis-
chance have found their way to the
unpainted floor may be removed by
applying spirits Of turpentine:
What does not come off because OF
the turpentine may be rubbed with
sand or sandpaper.-N. Y. Sun.
