Williamson and Hermann Named for
Congress by Republicans.

Williamson and Hermann Named for
Congress by Republicans.
Portland, April 13 AT 2:15 this after
noon the Republican district convention
reassembled at the Empire theatre for
the purpose Of nominating candidate
for congressman and selecting two dele
gates to the national convention. Dur
ing morning session the convention af-
fected temporary organization by the
election OF Judge Fee of Pendleton as
chairman, and j. B. Hosford as secre-
tary. During the night the leaders had
decided that the program made yester-
day afternoon, providing for the renom-
nation Of Congressman Williamson and
and the selection of Judge Carey, N. E.
Richards of Sumpter, and Ira s. Smith
as national delegates should be put
through. Mr.. Moody's name, it was
agreed last night, should not be placed
before the convention.
John N. Williamson was placed in
nomination to succeed himself as rep
resentative to Congress by @. N. Rich
ards of Sumpter.
Judge J. Moreland followed as Sec
ond in an address, dealing eulogistically
with the congressman.
Delegate Wheldon of The Dalles,
nominated Congressman Williamson
in strong speech. He moved that the
selection be made by acclamation. This
was seconded from several counties and
the motion prevailed amid great enthus-
iasm.
Hermann Was Chosen.
Salem, Or, April 13.-Binger Her.
mann was renominated by acclamation
in the first congressional district con-
vention this afternoon. Until this morn
ing Harris was still hopeful, but an hour
before the convention met announced
that he had withdrawn from the fight
His defeat was unquestionably due to
combinations against him of all those
republicans in the district who have
congressional aspirations and who fear
ed that Harris, il nominated, would bt
returned to Washington for a number
of successive terms. Percy Kelly o
Linn, w. |. Vawter of jackson, ClauC
Catch Of Marion, and George G. Brow
nell Of Clackamas, all threw every yotl
they could command to Hermann.

"Stock" is the term used to indicate

Scion" is the term used to express
the part inserted, of whatever size or
form it may consist. These should be
of the new, well-ripened growth of the
season. If scions are to be used in the
spring, they should always be cut late
in the fall Spring-cut scions may often
be used successfully, but it is not safe
to trust to them, especially if when cut
open the hardwood appears dark-col-
ored. They should be stored in moist
sawdust or sand in a cold cellar, or
buried in the ground outdoors, during
winter.
The principles which underlie graft
ing are the same as in budding-that

SELECT GOOD COWS ONLY.
Guesswork in the Purchase of Dairy
Herd Is Economy That Might
Be Called Criminal.

1t Is just as essential to keep good
COWS as any other animal No man
can afford to keep poor COWS, and es-
pecially the poor man. If rich man
wants to waste his moaey in poor
cows it is not quite so bad, but poor
man must know better, or he cannot
expect much profit In order to make
Roadway the poor man must keep ami
mails and use feed that will make the
largest profit. You cannot afford to
keep a single COW that does not make
you a profit. Be practical and bust
nesslike and apply the only sure test.
Keep book in which to enter on one
side all milk, cream and butter,
whether consumed by the family or
sold. They are worth in your family
exactly what you would have to paw
Tor them if you had no cows On the
other side enter the feed consumed,
whether purchased or raised on. your
farm. The hay or corn fed is worth
on your farm the market price, less
cost OF delivering to market. This test.
even il conducted for a short time, will
snow you facts and not what you
guess about it. Some people refuse to
spend money for the best feed for
their cows. This is poor economy, be-
cause it is simply an investment which
will bring good returns In selecting
choice dairy cows; if the richest milk
is wanted, keep the Jerseys; if both but
ter and milk are wanted, keep the Ayr
shire, but if large quantity of milk is
wanted for the manufacture of cheese.
then the Holsteins must have first
place But, however, In either case al
ways select the best. Suppose you pay
$50 for a poor COW and come out even
at the end Of the year. Suppose you
pay 500 for first class COW, and at
the end of the year she can show you
profit Of $50. If you keep cows for
profit just figure this over carefully.
1t requires just as good business quail
ties to be a successful dairyman as it
does to be successful in any other
business. If you don't think so you had
better quit the business.-E. L. Morris.

critical period.
So watch and care for the cow now as

CLEFT GRATING.

is, the scion and stock must be closely
related; the work must be done in such
a manner that the inside bark of both
scion and stock come closely in con-
tact, and at season of the year and
under such circumstances that they
may unite at once or as soon as growth
starts. The success of the operation
largely depends CD on having the
stocks and scions perfectly healthy; (2)
in selecting the proper season, which
varies somewhat with different plants;
(3) in getting perfect union of the in
ner barks of scion and stock at least on
one side; (4) in making all the cuts
with sharp knife, that the parts in
contact may have smooth surface;
~ in doing the work rapidly, so that
the surface may not be dried by ex-
posture.
Grafting-wax is generally used for
covering the wounds made in grating
A good grafting-wax is one that will
not become too soft in summer, so as
to melt and run down the stock, or SO
hard in winter as to crack and split off
A very reliable graftingwax is made
by melting together four parts (by
weight) of resin, two parts of beeswax
and one part of tallow. When well
melted, pour into pail of cold water,
grease the hands slightly, and pull the
wax until it is about the color of pulled
enthusiastically. Make into balls, and
store for use. This wax should be
warmed when applied. If it is too
hard, more tallow and less resin may
be used.
Clay is frequently used for covering
wounds made by grating, and gives
quite as good results as any of the
wakes if properly applied. For this
purpose some very tenacious clay
should be used, and it is thought to be
improved when mixed with about one
third fresh cow-dung and little plas-
terer's hair. The whole mass should
be thoroughly worked over before US
ing.
Cleft-grafting Is very common form
of grating, and is more universally
known and used than any other. 1t is
commonly performed to change the
bearing of apple, plum and various
other trees and plants. 1t is generally
the most practical method to use on
branches two or three inches in dame
ter, but it also works well on quite
small stocks.
Cleft-grafting is performed as fol-
lows: The place selected for the in
sertion of the scion should be where
the grain of the wood is straight. The
stock is then cut square off with a
sharp saw, and is split through its CEN
ter with grafting-chisel to a depth
sufficient to allow the scion to be put
in place. The cleft is held open by the
chisel until the scion is cut and insert
ed, when the wedge is withdrawn, al
lowing the stock to close on the scion
and so hold it in place If the stock
does not spring back SO as 10 hold the
scion firmly, it should be tightly drawn
together with a string. The number
of scions inserted will depend upon the
stock. If the stock is not over three
! fourths of an inch in diameter, one
scion is enough to insert, but on larger
stocks two may be put in. All the cut
surfaces, including the ends of the
scions, should now be covered with
wax. The scion to be inserted in cleft
grating should be cut wedge-shaped
lengthwise.-Farm and Fireside.
