GUS how Mr.. Mellis managed to gather
all these collections, and only the fact
that he enjoys the unbounded conf

can to some extent account for It.

in spite of this the people of this state
may rest assured that Oregon will

PARTIALLY DRIED PASTURE.
Valuable Sheep Feeding Test Conduct
ed at the South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.

At the South Dakota station, in or
der to learn something of the posi-
bility of utilizing partially dried pas
turage, with and without grains, in
the fattening of lambs for the early
winter market, six lots of ten common
grade ewes, from one to six years old
and weighing about 120 pounds each,
were pastured from September to
November 2, each lot having the run
of two acres of native prairie grass
which had not that season been pas
tured or cut for hay.
All the lots except one were fed on
grain, the sheep on corn and on oats
each making an average daily gain of
IA pound per head, those on bread
wheat OBJ pound, on spelt 0.29 pound,
and on barley OBS pound. The grain
eaten per pound of gain ranged from
39 pounds with the corn-fed lot to ~
pounds with the sheep on spelt, and
the cost of a pound of gain from three
cents on oats to 5.3 cents on breai
wheat. With the sheep fed with NO
grain there was a total loss of SO
pounds. During the last two weeks of
the trial it was noted that the losses
were about twice as great as during
the preceding two weeks, and that the
gains made by the other lot were cor
respondingly lower during the same
period. This was accounted for in part
by the fact that the grass had been
considerably injured by frost.-Prof. j.
W. Wilson, in Midland Farmer.

WAR ON RATS AND RAVENS
Large Sum of Money to Be Spent by
France in Campaign of Ex-
termination.

The minister of agriculture. M.
Mougeot, has asked for $4,000 francs
to be voted by the chamber, with which
he proposes to combat the plague of rats
from which corner of the Department
of Charentes is suffering. says a recent
Paris report. The damage done by these
little rodents to the crops of cereals
last season was so great that the cam
paign to be waged by NJ. Mougeot has
the hearty support of all the farmers of
the district thus attacked The means
to be employed for their destruction is
a poison to be provided by the scientists
of the Pasteur Institute.
But the work of destruction does not
stop at the rats. The farmers have petit
toned for help in getting rid also of the
ravens and magpies which prey upon
the game, and part of the $50, 900 francs
demanded from the nation will be ap-
propriated for this purpose
The ravens are, however, by no means
an unqualified pest, for they have re-
Gently done a good turn to the market
gardeners of the District of Argenteuil.
The vast beds of that fat kind of as
paragus which goes by the name of the
district, and which is so highly es-
teemed as table luxury, was last sea-
son attacked by mysterious disease
which ravaged acres of plants Just as
the young plants were approaching ma
turity they hung their heads and wilted
down, and the growers were in despair.
Acres of land were ruined and the loss
was great.
Then it was noticed that flocks of ra-
vens constantly descended upon the af-
fected beds and carried on lively war
upon kind of fly, specimens of which
were sent up to the Sorbonne to be ex-
amined. This fly was found to be the
cause of the mischief. The abdomen
is furnished with sting with which the
creature perforates the stalk of the as
paragus, depositing its eggs in the pune
ture Millions of larvae were thus laid,
and, quickly Matching out, ravaged the
beds. entirely destroying the plants.
Deprived by Mr. Mougeot of the good
services of the ravens, the gardeners
will endeavor to check the spread of the
disease by pulling up and burning the
affected plants.

WHAT SHE WAS THINKING.
And There Was Nothing of Disap-
pointment in Her Thoughts
for Mr.. Snodgrass.

"May | cherish a hope, Ella, dear
that you will become my wife, the
partner of my joys and sorrows, my
constant companion through this vale
of tears?"
Miss Spudkins did not answer. Her
fair head was slightly bent. The color
came and went on her dainty cheeks.
Her hands were clasped and lay upon
her lap, relates London Tit-Bits.
Mr. Snodgrass seized one of them
passionately and kissed it. Then he
spoke again: This avowal of love can
not come to you as a surprise, Ella.
My devotion to you knows no bounds.
1t has a fathomless depth and an i'm
measurable height. Do you not return
|. it in some measure?"
Still Miss Spudkins spoke not. Her
eyes seemed to be studying the pattern
of the carpet.
"Will YOU not speak the word which
shall betroth our souls for all time and
for all eternity? I feel, my precious
one, as though we were predestined
for each other, and that our love will
last WUllS C6dSeltSS dSCo I'M. GIL NV

She did not tell him, and Mr.. Snod-
grass resumed:

when you were learning to talk, and
my love deepened and strengthened as

that has gathered strength through
| the years until it will not be denied.
1t will not take mo- for an answer.
Ella, love, why don't you reply? Speak
the word which will make me the
| happiest of mortals."
Yet there was no answer from the
fair young girl at whose feet was thus
laid the heart of brave young man:
and Mr.. Snodgrass once more ad-
dressed her:
Il know that silence gives consent
but I'd rather hear from your lips the
little yes to my plea. Why do you not
answer me?"
81 was thinking, Thomas Ella re-
piled at last and there was ineffable
tenderness in her tones; "of course
love you think you were reasonably
sure of that, dear, but l was thinking
=" And again the far-away look came
into her eyes.
Thinking of what, dear?"
81 was thinking whether l should
better have my visiting cards engraved

Thomas Jefferson Snoderass Which

In Society.

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, II
thew could realize the invigorating
STRENGTHENING effect that Peruna woulo
have. how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for a run down
depleted nervous system.

tached to the hooks or rings in the
front pieces, as illustrated.
In removing large tree, trench
is dug around it, leaving ball OF
earth as large as desired. The appara-
tus is slipped around and under the
sides of this ball of earth containing the
tree. AS the sides o. the boat are cut
out and rather sharp, these are
drawn together with log chain by
team of horses or block of tackle. By
drawing this up tightly the points are
brought together, thus raising and lift
ing the ball of earth and the tree upon
the runners. When everything is in
readiness, two or four horses, as the
case may require, are hitched to the
chain and the tree is drawn out, the
front part of the opening having been
slanted for that purpose.
When a tree is - be reset, hole
large enough to accommodate it is dug
with both sides slanting into 1t so that
the horses can be driven down through
and out the hole, thus drawing the tree
in place BY loosening the chain ana
hitching the horses to the other enc
of the boat, this is easily withdrawn,
thus leaving the tree in position. BY
filling the hole and watering carefully
large trees can be easily removed, even
in midsummer, without serious disturb

was transplanted in July, 1902. and was

Gained Twenty Pounds.

Hartford Mills, n Y, May l6.-This
neighborhood is aroused as never before
by some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kid
ney Hills. These began with the case
of Mrs. j. ID. Wallace, who had been
in very poor health for long time and
who had got so bad at last that she
couldn't walk from her home to the vii
lage and back, distance of about eighty
rods, without being tired out and in pain
all over.
She had only used few of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, when she noticed change fol
the better and in a very short time she
was able to walk any reasonable distance
and do any kind of woman's work with
out feeling any bad effects.
She has gained twenty pounds in weight
in three months and is now as well Z
woman as could be found. She declares
the Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve all the
credit for her wonderful restoration.

Losses from Forest Fires.

The department of agriculture re-
ports that forest fires in the Adiron-
dacks between April 20 and June
last year caused losses amounting to
So, SOC, 900. Fires in the western for
est reserves did vastly more damage
than this, but no doubt the destruction
Is lessened by the activity of rangers
and government employees. The
sheepmen claim that the chance of fire
spreading in the forests is not near
ly so great where the sheep keep the
tall grass and underground eaten
down, and no doubt the assertion is
true. Sometimes a fire is attributed
to the carelessness of some herder,
but as matter of fact the sheepman
would be more interested in prevent
ing a fire than anyone else, since ii
would deprive him Of grass for bis
sheep.
