HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

The plum curculio beetles may
be easily Jared from the trees
in the morning. Spread sheets beneath
the trees to catch them.
Apples keep splendidly in pits. and
we always thought that~pitting them
gave them better flavor. Pit them as
you would potatoes.
We know cellars and root cellars in
which the old roots are now rotting
and sprouting. We hope that you are
not the party to permit it,
There is not much money for the
average farmer in growing small
fruit, but he should grow enough of
all kinds for family consumption.
White grapes are not as popular as
colored grapes because they do not
look as nice. It is always so with
fruit. The best colored sells best.
Rigid pruning of evergreens every
year has tendency to destroy their
vigor. We mean the pruning and
trimming to give them certain shape.
You should know each fruit tree
intimately so that you can know what
it needs in the way of thinning or
pruning. Study your trees as you do
or ought to study your individual an
imals.-Western Plowman.

IMPROVEMENT.
THE ROAD SCRAPER.
1t Has Awakened the Spirit of Improve
ment In Many Districts.

1t Has Awakened the Spirit of Improve
ment In Many Districts.
In our anxiety to promote good farm
ing there is no danger that the subject
of good roads will be overlooked. When
a man gets the spirit in him to improve
his farm, his crops and his live stock,
esprit of progress cannot be checked
there, but necessarily 1T must be ex-
tended to his buildings and fences.
Who ever knew a farmer to erect
substantial fence along the highway
who would not also cut down the un-
s,chtIy bushes along the margin, see
where drainage is needed and how the
roadway could be improved, and then
resolve that it shall be done at the first
opportunity? A good farmer is always
a good-roads advocate.
Just now many things are consplrlne
to assure good roads in the near future
A few years ago the road-scraPer on
wheels came into vogue. A law was
enacted to permit a few adjoining road
districts to unite and purchase
scraper to be used in common, as it il
an expensive piece of machinery, and
rarely single district could afford te
purchase one alone. Now these ma
chimes are common all over the state
and through their means road improve
ment has made rapid strides. 1t is no1
necessary to describe all their goot

GRANDMAMMA'S GARDEN.

Out from the dusk of the days gone by
That come to me now as dreams
Smiles picture framed by the summer sky
And the sunshine's golden beams;
IT'S little garden bright with bloom
Or flowers both sweet and rare,
And from April's sun to November's gloom
There were always blossoms there
Blossoms fragrant and blossoms gay
Or witching as any elf,
And blossoms as quaint and sweet always
AS the gardener was herself;
For twas grandmamma tended them care
fully
And they seemed to understand
The loving care and sympathy
In the touch of her skillful hand.
Roses and lilacs and mignonette,
Peonies, pinks and phiox,
Blue-eyed pansies and violets, -
Daisies and hollyhocks: n
Fair syringas AID Jack-and-Jn.
Larkspur ard columbine,
Dahlias Of many a velvet frin
Asters and yellow-vine;
There was hardly a flower of form or hue
OF the sweet old-fa shioned kind
That one could look her garden through
And fail its like to find.
Oft as child 1 wandered there
And can remember still
How gran6mamma severed the blossoms
fair
My little apron to fill.
Still 1 can see her winning grace
And her words can recall:
.sThou, my child, with thy baby face
Art the sweetest flower of all. .
Often she severed the silken bloom
OF the fair syringa flowers,
Yet little knew their sweet perfume
Brought grandmamma vanished hours,
For once in her tresses of raven hair
In the joy of glad June-tide,
Grandmamma wore the syringa fair
AS lovely, winsome bride;
Now as look down the yesterdays
The vistas of years gone by
The sweetest picture that meets my gaze
Is framed by the blue, blue sky
love not the modern blossoms less
That charm with their beauty rare,
Yet a bit of heavens loveliness
Seemed grandmamma's garden fair;
All many a summers silvery rain
And many winters snow
Have softly come and gone again
Since that sweet long ago.
But the gardener quaint and her dear deat
flowers
My heart shall ne'er forget,
For in memories sweet of childhood's hour
I see them smiling yet.

HANDY WAGON BOX.
Convenient Arrangement for Use ON
the Farm or on the Road for
Hauling Loads.

A style of wagon-box which is COM
ing quite extensively into use here in
our country-and we believe is a very
handy arrangement for use on the
farm or on the road for hauling loads
of grain, wood, tile, etc.-is shown in
the accompanying plan. The main
frame or bottom of wagon-box con-
sists of two scantling three by four
inches and any length, according to
length of box desired, although IL feet
makes a very desirable length. These
are joined together by two-by-four
cross ties, and pinned at ends into
mortise. The iron sockets on the
sides which are made to hold the two
by-three standards on sideboards can
be made by any blacksmith out OF an
old wagon tire.
The sideboards may be made any
height to suit the purpose and may be
planed and painted or put up in the
rough. There are several styles OF
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1904-08-19

end-gates and any of them can be used
to suit the taste. The end-gates may
be fastened in with an end-gate rod or
hooks and staples used.
A box like this can be made tight
enough by flooring the frame careful
ly, so that any grain or shelled corn
may be hauled in it. 1t can be built
very cheaply, and where farmer is
handy with tools should not cost over
$3.50, as nearly all the material may
be produced from the farm excepting
the hardware. However, if the mate
rial be purchased it should not cost
overfour dollars. A very handy feature
about this box is that when not in use
it can be folded together and set aside
out of the way.-George W. Brown in
Ohio Farmer.

BIC TIME
IS COMING
Purple and White Will Prevail on
the Installation Day
of B. p. @. E.

The committee of Elks in charge of
the arrangements for the coming in
stallation of the lodge to be instituted
here early in February met last night
in the office of DR.. ]. +. Atkinson for
the purpose of discussing the matters
relative to the preparations that are
being made to organize.
The committees consist of executive,
G. W. Temple. chairman; entertain
ment. DR. T. F.. Atkinson, chairman;
quarters, Joseph Malloy chairman.
The committees at their meeting last
night discussed matters pertaining to
the arrangements for taking care of
visiting members and for the enter
tainment OF guests
There will undoubtedly be grand
time in store for the people of Lewis
ton and it is said that the preparations
that are being made will eclipse any
thing that has ever been seen in this
city of this character.
The purple and white will prevail
during the day of installation and the
"fawns" that will be taken into the
herd will be on the anxious seat until
after the event has passed.
Inquiry of the committees this morn
ing failed to secure an expression from
them as to what the form of their en-
tertainment will be which is evidence
that the surprises in store will be many.

No, President Mohler is not coming

expected to make a visit in the near
future with the purpose of inaugural
ing construction work on the Lewiston

act facts in the case wired President
Mohler today for confirmation or de-
NAL and received the following:
Lewiston Evening Teller, Lewiston,
Idaho Your message was the first in
timation l have had of my intended
visit. A. L. Mohler."
The rumor can now he set at rest.
The lewiston Riparia line will be built
when it will be built, and though hope
deferred maketh the heart sick the end
is no nearer.
