Mlnlonalre,. Poor stomach.

The worn-Out stomach OF the over.
fed millionaire IL often pAraded in the
public prints rs a horrible example Of
the evils attendant on the possession
o fgroat wealth. But m~illionaires are
not the only ones who arS Anilcted
with bad stomachs. The proportion Ia
far greater among the toilen Dys
pepsia and indigestion r rampant
among these people. and they suffer
fac worse tortures than the millionaire
unless they avail themselves OF a
standard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which mas been a fayonte
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over So years. August
Flower rouses the torpid liver. thus
creating appetite and iasuring perfect
digestion. It tones and VitaliEos the
entire system, and makes life worth
living, no matter what your station.

or. The reporter who wrote this
article should have borne in mind the
fact that the evidence in the Martin
case. which convicted him, was ex
cluded from the Logan jury, as was
also all hearsay talk that was brulted
about by the many visitors from the
Siletz reservation, who had more OF
less interest in the outcome OF this
trial. and from which many made up
their minds that Abe Logan was not
only guilty. but should have been
hanged, drawn and quartered.
We all regretted very much that
his honor, Judge Bellinger, should
feel that the ends Of justice had not
been subserved In the rendering Of
the verdict, and II shows plainly to
the minds OF the majority Of this
jury that the American jury system
is a failure, for in this cas- what was
considered a reasonable doubt In
the minds OF ~ intelligent men, was
not so considered by as eminent a
jurist as Judge Bellinger, and for this
reason we thing that the judges are
far better qualified to render an i'm.
partial verdict than is a jury Of ~
men who are not versed in law"

what is being done in many parts of the'country
through school consolidation and the development
of agricultural high schools, to give the country

practical efforts among farmer boys in his country
in the direction of interesting the boys in the

A New Method of T~urpentine Orchard
inp,

A New Method of T%urpentine Orchard
ing.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The attention of all interested in
the ~turpentine and rosin industry is
called to the fact that a new and
much improved method of working
pine forests for turpentine has been
devised by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. By this
method the number of hands re-
CURED to work a "task" is less than
by the common method while at the
same time the quantity and quality
of the "dip" is about doubled. Trees
worked by the new method will live
longer and yield more than by pres
ent methods.
The cost of introducing the new
method is small and will be-more
than repaid out of the extra profits
of the first season. The Department
at Washington will send free of
charge a man to start the new sys-
tenn in any locality in which turpen-
tine is a considerable industry.
Those who are interested should
correspond with Secretary Wilson
Of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. @.

Where farmers desire to secure
copies of publications of the Agri-
cultural Department they should ap-
ply preferably to their members of
Congress or q. S. Senators, provid-
ing they know the numbers or names
of the publications, for the reason
that the bulk of the farmers bulle-
tins are printed under act of Con
gress and every Senator and Repre-
sentative receives a quota for distri-
button. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture also receives some copies, but
the demands should preferably be
made on the Congressman as Con-
gress is the body which authorizes
the money for the printing and it is
right that applications for such doc
uments should be made direct.

signs of crusting or whenever weeds
are appearing. The advantages of
frequent cultivation are forcibly
shown in an experiment made at the
New Hampshire Station, where GER
tain plats were given no cultivation,
other plats we're cultivated five times
and other piats were cultivated four
teen times. Some of the plats were
cultivated shallow and others deep.
On the plats not cultivated the weeds
grew lu~xuriantly, and the yield was
II bushels of shelled corn,to the acre.
The plats cultivated shallow four
teen times yielded at the rate of 80
bushels of shelled corn to the acre.
On the plats cultivated shallow five
times the yield was 70 bushels of
shelled corn to the acre.. Where the
plats we're cultivated deep five times
the yield was SO bushels per acre. A
pillow should never be used to cult
vate a corn crop. It has no place in
a corn field after the crop is planted,
except it may be in the rich river
low ground, where climbing vines are
so troublesome, growing between the
plants in the rows. AS these cannot
be reached by a cultivator of any
kind, and hoeing is too costly, a light
furrow may be plowed on to them to
smother them out, but the space be-
tween the rows should be cultivated
level with either an Iron Age or
disc cultivator after the crop is too
well grown to be worked with the
weeder. Keep the soil as nearly level
as possible, and throw no hills to
the corn. The idea that throwing a
hill to the corn will prevent it being
blown down is a fallacy. If the corn
roots have not been cut during
growth by deep cultivation they will
have such a hold on so large a sur
face of the soil that no ordinary
wind storm will hurt the crop. Hills
thrown to the corn only expose a
much larger surface of soil to the
drying winds and sun, and lead to
drouthing Of the crop and a reduced
yield. Cultivate frequently and cul-
tivate level and shallow.-May South
