splendid feature Six counties have
made entries and others will probably
be heard from. Those now entered
are Marion, Linn, Polk, Benton and
Washington, while Yamhill viii also
pkesly have an exhibit. The prizes
aggregate $1,000 divided as follows.
First, $500; second, $3.50; third,
$500; fourth $50; and four other prizes
of 800 each for other exhibitors.
The province of Alberta. Canada
has asked for space and will have a
collection of the resources of that
northern country.
The stock exhibit may be a little
shot of last year on account of many
herds being sent to st. Louis. but
from recent inquiries it is safe to say
that 1t will be good.
Space promises to be scarce as
many industrial enterprises have
made application. Never before in
the history of the fair have so many
exhibitors at this time of year noti-
fed the secretary that they would be
represented.
Mr.. Downing will go to Portland this
afternoon and purchase a new track
sprinkler, as the old one is in poor
condition and could not keep enough
water on the track.
The horses are working out every
day and they embrace some of the
fastest steppers in the west. Many
a spirited neat between the hot blood

records have been lowered.

CloverS on Wet Land,

Clovers differ greatly as to their abil-
fly to live with water at their roots.
Thus, the red varieties must be grown
on land where water does not stand. A
large proportion of the failures in get
ting catches of clover are doubtless due
to the sowing of the seed on poorly
drained land. Where the red clover is
wanted and the land is wet, the only
thing to do is to drain it, so that the land
will dry out well in the spring and get
warm quickly, and so that it will remain
warm till late in the fall. Cold land is
not suitable to the growing of medium
and red clover. But with the alsike it is
different, to a degree. That variety will
stand more moisture than the other
kinds, but not SO much as some people
give it credit for.

Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

S~edgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case of W.
S. Taylor's little son is looked upon by those
interested in medical matters as one of the
most wonderful on record. In this connec-
ton his father makes the following state
ment:
Last September, my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent that he could not walk
nor put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to do
him no good and two or three people said
his days were short, even the doctors, two
of the best in the country told me he would
not get better. / stopped their MEDICINE
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
l gave him three Pills a day, one morning,
noon and night for eight days; at the end
of the eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice, l gave bin b1m
in all and he was entirely cured. l consider
your medicine saved my child's life. When
the thirty-fve Pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
from morning until night"

HERE'S A VALUABLE HINT.
Glass Posts, Made Of Old Quart Bot
ties, Are Just the Thing for
Beehive Stands.

Our twentieth century demands
something new, cheap and durable in
the way of a stand for our hives to rest
on. DR.. j. w. Guyson, in Gleanings, of.
fers the following: I get the longest
quart bottles | can find, and with a hoe
l make a set of -four or six holes-four
holes for one hive and six for two
hives. These holes are set at regular
distances apart to receive the bodies
of the bottles. | set them in about half
their length, with the mouths up. The
bottles are to be leveled up with a
straight board and a spirit-level. Put
them in straight rows just where you
want your hives to be, and have them
face just the way you desire your
hives to stand.
Now take some 1x2 stuff and have
1t smooth and we'll painted for the
hives to rest on. Cut them two or
three inches longer than your bottom

SUSPENDERS AND SUSPENSE
What Uncle Sam Needs the Former
For as Stated by a Hating
Speaker.

A certain congressman from a mountain
district. says the New York Sun, is trou-
bled with a weak, squeaky little voice,
which sometimes fails in the midst OF
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
Grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on a
matter connected with tariff, he ex-
claimed:
why, tariffs are like a pair of suspen-
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose;
but Uncle Sam needs them just the same,
to keep up his"
Here the congressman's voice struck a
high treble note, tiared and stopped.
The house held its breath while he
cleared his throat, The suspense, which
seemed to last for fully a minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers" or
pants, and some were even hoping that
he might say "pantaloons." Even over
ais would be better than pants" for
pants" is most supplementary.
But all fears were without foundation.
He cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in a death-like stiffness resumed
his Grafton where he had dropped it: to
keep up his running expenses"
The words which followed were lost
forever in a gale of laughter.

TWO PAT ILLUSTRATIONS.
In Which the True Source of Physical
Strength Was Well
Set Forth.

Speaking of toads, with incidental ref
erence to other s~alatory animal life, re-
calls a mot attributed to one OF the JUS
tees of the supreme court, which has
been giving the Washington gosslps a good
deal OF amusement of late, says the New
York Evening post. He was dining the
other evening with the family of a dis
tlngulshed ex-senator, who are noted for
their extravagant advocacy of the vege-
tartan diet. Over the delicacies of the
table, which included pretty nearly every
form of edible plant life suited to the
season, conversation turned upon the ia
miliar theme; and the hostess, after try
ing IN vain to convert her beef-reared
guest by arguments based on the chemical
constituents of various food, pleaded:
But surely, Mr.. Justice, you must ad-
NIT that vegetarianism means strength
and agility, when you remember that the
rabbit, which feeds wholly on vegetables,
can make such great leaps through the air
from hiding place to hiding place"
True, madam answered the jurlst,
gravely, but we must also remember that
the minute c~resture for which naturalists
claim the ability to jump more times It's
own length than any other, belongs TO
the class of pure carnivora."

THE CAUSE OF BALKINEss.
To Avoid Trouble from This Cause
Colts Must Be Trained by
Sensible Method.

The cause of balkiness is not always
the same. 1t is usually, if not always,
due to improper handling in one way
or another. 1t is sometimes due to
putting the colt to a heavy load too
suddenly, before he has learned to pull,
or when he has sore shoulders. To
avoid trouble from this source a writer
in the Gazette suggests the following
plan. The plan that I suggest does
much the same for a horses shoulders
as biting does for his mouth. It &C.
customs the shoulders to pressure, and
that in such a gradual way that the
colt trains himself and stands properly
to his collar from the beginning of his
lessons in harness. This method | find
specially useful for the oyer-willing,
high-strung horse not bred for draft.
Fix a pulley behind the horses stall
or in some other convenient place
about as high as the horses stiles,
then run a rope up over another pull
ley and attach a light weight to 1t
sufficient to keep the rope fully taut.
When fastened to the horses single
tree, which is attached to the tugs in
the ordinary way, tie the horse as long
as you safely can and securely. The
weight must be off the ground all the
time. The horse may come back to the
end of this halter for a time, but he
will gradually brace himself to hold
up a light weight, as it is more COM
Portable for him. This may be put on
the horse at feeding time if a nervous
horse and taken off the first few times
before he has done eating. After a
while increase the weight, but the
more nervous he is the more gradually
this should be done. When you are
passing by give the rope a pull and
put some of your weight on it. He will
oon brace against it, and mind he does
not catch your fingers in the pulley.
If the horse has been badly baked
previously and his shoulders have beer
hurt he should have a set of springs
on his tugs when first hooked to keep
him from jerking his shoulders. Ii
you have not these take him out in the
yard with a rope on his singletree and
pull back on this as much or as little
as seems necessary. Then hook him
and back him up a little a few times.
Study his actions and do not start him
up until the right moment. The chances
are, however, that he will have be-
come so Indifferent to the collar and
so habituated to standing up to it that
he will move quietly off.
would like to make one suggestion
in addition, and hat is to fasten a colt
back with two side-lines on his halter
or a leather nose band, so hat when
he lunges ahead he will not jerk his
mouth. A colt naturally thinks that
the driver yanks him, when most OF
the time he does it himself.

OF A HERMIT.
An English Farmer Being Tilted Seeks
Seclusion from the Eyes of
Mankind.

For 10 years James Mason, a farmer
who formerly kept stock and worked his
land as any other agriculturist, has cut
himself off from all human intercourse,
says the London Daily Mail. He lives
in a cave in the midst of three acres of
woodland at Great Garfield, on the east
ern border of Eessex.
The cause of this strange conduct was
an unfortunate love affair. Thirteen
years ago, when a man of 40, he was
tilted by the ~17-year-old daughter of a
neighboring farmer. Mason %thereupon
vowed that he would never again gaze
upon a woman's face.
He left his home, disposed of a part of
his land, and took up his abode on a por-
ton of his holding. which adjoins the
old Epping forest.
Around this he dug a dyke IL feet deep
and IL feet wide. He planted a thick
hedge round-a hedge which has now at
tanned an enormous height, and lined it
with rows of barbed wire.
Here, completely screened and pro-
.ected from all fear of prying eyes, he
has passed Is lonely years, and during
this time only two human beings have
ever caught a glimpse of the hermit.
One was the village postman, who, 60
ing his rounds in the early morning,
for a moment saw a Withholding man
who, as he afterward said, dropped to
the ground as though he had been shot"
The other was a woodman who, eight
years ago, was greatly alarmed at seeing
! wild, bearded face glazing at him
through a hole in the hedge.
No one in the locality has ever dared
10 penetrate the hedge, for the belief is
firmly implanted in the villagers that
the wild man." as he is called, carries
arms, and would not scruple to use them
if any attempt to invade his privacy
were made.
1t is generally believed that the hermit
sleeps all day and works at night, for at
late hours belated wayfarers have re-
ported noises from behind the impene-
trable hedge.

TIMELY LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The fattening up of show animals
is criticised, but the others seldom
take the prizes.
It is a saying among stockmen that
out-crosses show improvement in the
first cross. but that subsequent crosses
deteriorate.
The herds and animals that take
most of the prizes at our fairs have
been handled by the best feeders. It
is sometimes more a contest of feed.
ers than Of animals.
Sheep can get along without water
better than almost any other kind of
stock, but they need water in spite OF
that ability to do without. and the
water adds much to lneir thrift. and,
also, as a consequence, to the profits
the farmer gets from sheep.

Market for American Horses.

United States Consul General Woman
at Munich believes that now is the gold
en- harvest time for American horse
dealers. The Russian edict prohibiting
the expectation of horses from the
cars domain has created a horse FAM
inc in Germany. Mr.. Norman writes
tho state department that horses that
would fetch nor than $3.50 or $500 a
team in this country will readily sell for
from 81 1000 to 81 1900 in Germany.
'There is much wealth in southern Ger
many" Mr.. NORMAN writes, and those
who have brought American horses here
have usually realized good profits"

A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things betterthan
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause of
ones sickness proves of most tremen-
dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then a chance to get
we'll.
For over rs years." says a Missouri
woman, Il suffered untold agonies inmy
stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying it was gastritis, Indigestion, neu-
ralgia, ETC., SO | dragged along from
year to year, always half sick, until
finally l gave up all hopes of ever being
well again.
when taking dinner with a friend
one day she said she had a new drink
which turned out to be Postum and /
liked it so well l told her l thought I
would stop coffee for awhile and use it,
which l did.
$50 for three months we had Postum
in place of coffee without ever having
one of my old spells but was always
healthy and vigorous instead.
Husband kept saying he was con-
WINGED it was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then l wouldn't believe
it until one day we got out of Postum
and as we lived two miles from town
/ thought to use the coffee we had in the
house.
"The result of a weeks use of coffee
again was that I had another terrible
spell of agony and distress proving that
it was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled it and l said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum aloneh has
been our hot mealtime drink.
my friends all say | am looking
worlds better and my complexion is
much improved. All the other members
of our family have been benefited, too,
by Postum in place Of the old drink, cof-
fee" Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Ten days trial of Postum in place OF
coffee or tea is the wise thing for every
coffee drinker. Such a trial tells the ex-
act truth often where coffee is not sus-
pected.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
Truly Touching Situation Brought
About by the Outrageous
Dust.

The wind swept a cloud of dust about
them as they turned the corner of the street,
relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Did you get any dust in our eyes, dar-
ing! he asked fondly, holding her closely
to him, as though to keep the too eager wind
away.
Yes" she murmured, searching for the
handkerchief
Which eye. dearest?"
The right one, love. Did you get any
thing in yours" she asked anxiously, seeing
his handkerchief appear.
Yes, darling"
Which eye, dearest?"
The right one, love-" -.
"How sweet" she exclaimed, with a sad
light glowing in her well eye. DO you sup
pose, dearest heart, that it could have been
part of the same piece of dust that got into
our eyes, darling?'
81 hope it was" he said, beaming with one
eye and wiping the other.
"Wouldn't it be sweet, dear!'
Wouldn't it. love?'
And the wind howled around the corner
as though it was in pain and from the house
three doors below a dentists sign fell off
into the street.
