RUTH JACKSON KILLS A BEAR.

Miss Ruth jackson, a former resi-
dent of Grants Pass, but now of Baker
City, and her friend, Miss Angle of
Medford, who is visiting Miss Jack
son, had a very interesting adventure
with bear in the mountains near
Austin, a few days ago, The young
ladies in company with Ray Jackson,
Miss Ruth's brother, were out camp
ing, and for amusement they spent the
time hunting and fishing. 1t is not
asserted positively that when they
started out it was their intention to
hunt for bear, but being engaged in
the pursuit, they We're brave enough
to tackle bear should one cross their
path, and that is exactly what hap
pened. Miss Jackson was carrying
the gun when they met a bear in the
path, and without further ceremony
she took aim and fired. Her aim
was true. She brought down the
game, and althousgh not killing in
stantly, it was mortally wounded.
Miss Angle took part in the slaughter,
ending the struggles of the bear with
club.
The ladies are very proud of their
achievement, and while not boasting
of their prowess, they modestly accept
the congratulations of their friends,
and insist that they We're not fright
although they have no desire to en-.
counter bear every time they go
camping.

COLESTIN COOL.

While the people of this valley have
been sweltering with the heat during
the past week or more the campers at
Colestin have been enjoying the de.
lightfully cool atmosphere of that
mountain resort. The thermometer
registers about 10 degrees difference
cooler there than in Grants Pass and
10 degrees on hot day would change
misery to the height of physical hap.

Colestin is the ideal place to LOAF

JOSEPHINE HOPS.

The Josephine county hop crop il
going to be better this season than for
many years, at least all indications
point that way now, and the time OF
picking is but a short time ahead.
There are number Of yards in Jose.
phine county, notably in Williams and
Applegate Valleys
The hops this season are large ana
plump and are abundant on the vines.
They are comparatively free from
blight and insect pests The only
trouble that will be experienced thi,
season by hop yard men will be in the
matter Of getting pickers. The price
TO be paid will be the same here al
in the Willamette Valley, better
price will rule this year than OF
many seasons past.

NOVEL ADVERTISING FOR

If you see a stray balloon floating in
the air any one of these days, don t
hesitate to shoot it or bring it down.
If it halls from Portland the chances
are that it will carry several valuable
tickets of admission to the Portland
Elks' Carnival, September / to 49,
These tickets are donated by the man
agement and are to be given away as
premiums for the industry of those
who will run down the balloons which
carry them. This novel mode of ad-
vertising has been adopted by the car
niyal management with surprising re-
suits. During the o. N. G.. encamp-
ment at Albany, balloon was sent
up, attached to which were a dozen
orders for admission to every sight in
the Elks' Carnival. The finders of
these tickets will have their fun free
by presenting these orders to the com
mittee, which will promptly honor
them

The dam, the width Of which will
be from one-half to three-quarters Of
mile, will be built with a frame
work of timber, filled in with rock,
and will be about 20 feet in depth
Its primary purpose is to develop
electric power to supply the Ray

also to furnish power to those who
will put in motors and use it fer ir-
rigation There are now on the cars,
at that point, waiting to be unloaded,

The treatment is described at length,
giving the methods that were first
used, when this disease did not extend
over such a large area. which usu-
ally consisted of hand applications of
dislnfectants. 1t also describes some
cs the popular remedies that were

modern way OF treating the disease,
namely. by the construction of dipping

suits ON over 1000 head of cattle that

Horses Going Barefoot.

Comparatively few people are aware
that the farm horse can profitably
srend much of mis- useful life with
cut shoes. The plough horse. the
tread power horse and. when the feet
are of the average toughness, the gen.
eral purpose farm horse can go bare
loot with decided advantage.
makes the organ. and this il remark.
ably true in the case of the hoOI of
the horse; the horn of the barefoot
horse becomes tougher. more elastic,
and retains, or, If it has been lost, even
regains its normal shape. the frog de-
velops and fulfills its Office of lessen
ing conclusion and spreading the quar-
tiers by rough use.
The carrying of heavy shoes also
imposes much work upon the muscular
system of the animal which is en-
tirely unrequired in most farm work.
TIC estimate the amount of work done
in carrying two pairs of shoes multi
ply the weight OF the iron lifted each
step by the number of steps in a mile
and the product by the number of
miles Travelled in an ordinary days
work, and the force required to lift
many tons will represent the amount
of energy expended.
To prepare the hoofs for trial of
the barefoot condition remove the
shoes and shorten the horn If il has
been allowed to grow long but do not
shorten quite as much as is done when
shoes are TO be applied. as a certain
amount is to be allowed for immedi-
ate wear. Next with the rasp take off
not exceeding one-quarter inch of the
outer edge of the wall; this will pre-
vent the wall OF the foot from break
ing readily, as well as prevent il being
split away from its union with the
sole of the hoof
Different animals feet will endure
different amounts of wear without the
protection of shoes; this variation is
directly with the condition of the foot
and the character and amount of work,
as well as the condition of the surface
over which the animal is Obliged to
travel. Certain diseased feet. as in
some cases of chronic founder. do very
poorly on hard roads without the pro-
lection of shoes, yet do well in field
work and are, finally. much benefited
by the change.-Dr. c. NJ. Kitchener. in
Farm journal.
