Brevities.

Joseph Whitaker, an Oregon pio-
neer of 1851, died at FIVE O'Clock
Wednesday evening at the home o1
his nephew, Hon. John Whitaker
The funeral occurred at Io:3oo'c1ock
yesterday morning from the Cathol-
ic church in this city, and was lar
gely attended. The service was
conducted by Rev. Father Springer
and the interment was in the Catho-
lie cemetery.
The deceased was born in Ger
many March 12, 1877. Sixty yea rs
ago he left Germany for the United
States, and settled in Ohio. In
1851 he crossed the plains to Oregon
and settled in Benton County. He
was carpenter by trade, and i'm
mediately after his arrival began an
active career in that line. Many OF
the old time residences in Southern
Benton still stand as a monument
of his handicraft. He built the well
known Irwin home at theButtes, the
residence Of John Rickard near
Bruce, the William Porter house,
the house of Mrs Arch Johnson and
many others. In all of them the
joiner work, the window sash and
doors were all made by hand.
After conducting a successful
business in the vicinity for several
years, he went in the latter part of
the Sixties to San Francisco, where
he became extensively engaged in
contracting land building. While
thus engaged he sustained terrible
fall of forty feet, from tall building
and received injuries from which he
never recovered. After ten years
in California, he returned a COM
plete invalid to the home of John
Whitaker in Benton where he resi-
ded during the twenty years of time
left until his death. He lacked but
II days Of attaining the age of 81.

Martin was hanged in the county
jailyard in Butte at 4:42 o'clock
this morning for the murder of John
K. Williams on May 1e, 1902, at
the railroad junction near Butte.
Robbery was the motive for the
crime. Martins alleged partner,
Charles Lennox, participated in the
noted Jail delivery at Butte several
months ago, aud is still at large.
Martins last words were: "Good-
bye. God bless you all" A few
days ago several prominent mem.
bers of the W. c. T. U. pleaded
with Governor Toole for clemency
on the ground that Martin was in a
dying condition, but the governor
declined to interfere.

New York, Feb. .24.-In the cur
rent number Of the medical Jour
nal DR.. Robert Coleman Kemp,
consulting physician of the Man
haitian Stata Hospital. tells for the
first time the result of a series O:
experiments with fuorescin, w hich
may forever do away with the X
ray in the treatment of internal
diseases.
By use of the fluid, a harmless
crystalline compound dissolved in
water, the entire internal organs OF
the body become at once exposed
to the naked eye as clearly as
through transparent film OF glass.
The membranes of the stomach are
so distinct that their outlines can
be traced on the outside of the body
in a dark or light room.
The new use of the fluid is of
ipcalculable value in the treatment
of abdominal disease. It's efficacy
was demonstrated before body of
students at clinic in the College
of Physicians and Surgeons a week
ago.
Fluorescin is non-toxic, abso-
lutels harmless, and is taken by
the patient on an empty stomach
iu a glass of water, in which from
fifteen to twenty grains of sodium
bicarbonatc. one dram Of glycerine
and one-eighth- Of a grain Of auore-
scin are dissolved.
1.-The patient is then conducted
into dark room," says DR.. Kemp,
land the electric light ,introduced.
The picture obtained is much su-
perior to that produced by the
method of plain water. It shows
the size and location of the stom-
ach, and the light is SO excellent
that 1 believe it would aid ,in dif-
ferentation of the tumors of the
liver and intestines. In addition

Cow Zen Hay.

A Tennessee correspondent who has
had considerable experience with COW
pea hay gives the following advice to
those interested in this crop:
First break the ground well and har-
row thoroughly; then drill peas with
double-row corn drill, going over the
ground twice, thus making the rows 20
to "a inches apart. When this is done
go over ground with a good heavy
drag. This will crush all surace elods
and smooth and compact the surface so
that when harvesting comes the
ground is in much better condition
than it would have been without drag
ging. You will also find that there
will be much less dirt and dust in the
hay.
In harvesting run the mower in
the forenoon, fet lie until the follow
ing day. When the row is well dried
off l run tedder over it, then let it
alone until the following day when
free from dew: then rake and begin
hauling to stack or NOW. This is when
weather is favorable fer curing. 10
cloudy weather prevails it will take
longer to cure.
Al TO the amount OF seed sown 1
set drill to plant one-quarter bushel
at each going-over, making in all one
half bushel per acre. find this amount
sufficient for a good yield of hay.
When sown too thickly the root system
is not so complete and does not de-
yelop the bacteria nearly so well as
when sown thinner-Breeders' Ga
zette.

Our farm horses should have the
very best OF care that the farmer can
give them. They are faithful animals
and deserve to be kept right. They
should have plenty of good hay, corn,
oats, bran, ETC., the year around. We
should strive to give them a variety
of food, as they like It better and will
thrive better upon 1t. In beginning the
spring work do not work the team too
much at the start. Their muscles are
soft and will blister easily, for they
have been idle much of the time dur
ing the winter. Go trifle slow at the
start, and then, after getting used to
it gradually, the farmer will have a
team with tough, hard shoulders, ca
pable of standing the heavy work of
the entire season. The team should
be thoroughly brushed and cleaned
every day. This will help in keeping
them in the proper condition. Give
them a good dry stable in the winter
and do not be afraid of turning them
out at night during the summer when
the pasture is good.
Our driving horses should be treat
ed with the same consideration as the
work team. Give him good care and
do not oyerwork him by driving on
improper roads and by driving him too
fast Be kind to all the animals, and
quiet when working with them. Make
their duties as light as possible, never
requiring them to do more than their
strength with admit. Horses well
cared for and treated in q humane
manner will prove themselves the best
servants man can have about the
farm.-Cor. Farmers Guide.

Hay Ration For a Horse.

Prof. Kennedy replies to a corre-
spondent who had asked how long a
ton of good clover or timothy hay
would feed a horse under ordinary cir
cumstances.
"our correspondent can very easily
figure out just how long ton of hay
will feed a horse. providing he has
the weight of the animal. Horses Of
different sizeo require different
amounts of hay. AS a general rule
most men feed too much hay to their
horses. A horse Weighing loo pounds
should not have over IL to Is pounds
per day, thus one ton would feed such
an animal about $50 to 165 days. A
horse Weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds
should not have over Is to 16 pounds
per day, thus it is very easy to figure
out the length of time ton would
feed an animal of this size.
MIXED hay, such as timothy and
clover, provided it was cut at the
proper season and thoroughly cured,
should give very good results, Tim
otly is preferred to clover for feed
ing driving horses, due to the fact
that 1t is considered 10 be more sub
stantial On the other hand. clover
hay is preferable for fattening horses. >

ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS.
Get Farm of Your own. he II Ever
SO Small and Then stick
10 1t.

The well-known Illinois stock breed
er and writer on agricultural topics, L.
H. Kerrick, in an address before Iowa
Agricultural college students, strongly
urges each of them to stick to farming
and to get a farm, be it ever so small.
Got place where you can make a
home" he said. Then get wife and
proceed to make your home as comfort
able as you can.
II believe the best results in agri-
culture will eventually be worked out
CT the small farm. On large farms we
must NOW at arms length, and can not
do IS well as we do know how to do,
fer We must work through other men.
and tie men who work on large farms
are not men who are brainy, shrewd
and improving are not of this
type have an idea lately-the first
have had for four or FIVE years-if a
man has an idea that is really worth
while, even once in four or five years,
he will be doing well.
1.-THE farmer is the man who ought
to be the surest of all the necessities
and comforts of life, and safest from
all changes, panics, hard times and
other vicissitudes. In the farm home,
children can be better bred, better fed
and better prepared for the struggle Of
life.
at seems to me that We, as farmers,
are not getting the most out of our
farm life. Combinations and trusts are
impossible, but it is better so; for while
those in combines and trusts may be
safe against those on the outside, they
are not safe against each other. The
farmer has, however, become more or
less imbued with the spirit of CONNER
cialism-With the idea of farming sole
~ for money. He raises big crops Of
corn, oats or feeds many cattle to sell
And sells them at the other fellows
prices, hurries them on a glutted mar
ket and then turns around and buys
many things that he could easily have
produced on his own farm at the other
fellows prices. In this way he puts
himself in the enemy's hands twice.
once when he sells and once when he
buys.
'9It seems to me that the first thing
you should do is to surround yourself
I'm farm homes with everything that
will be conducive to your comfort and
welfare Spend less energy in your
orchard and gardens, produce first the
things you need, be it fruit, vegetables
or meats; then, after you have fortified
yourself in your farm fort, let the oth-
er fellow have any surplus, II he will
pay your price for 1t. You can solve
this problem in the simplest way inn
aginable. Special meetings, long.wind-
ed resolutions and profound magazine
articles are Of no avail. You have the
remedy in your own hands. Simply
fortify yourself IN your own fort as
strongly as you can; then give the
other fellow what is left. z

A SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN.
Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went
Out Purchaser Thought Him
q Wonder.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed used to
relate the following incident which hap
pened one summer while he was spending
a few days in small fishing village on the
New England coast, says the New York
Times.
A young countryman who had been ad-
yised to take sea baths registered at the
village hotel one evening, and shortly after
ward sauntered down to the beach Espy-
ing grizzled old fisherman mending his
nets beneath sign which informed one
that B. had boats and tackle to let and
bait for sale, he accosted the veteran and
asked him if the water was-pot for sale
also. On receiving an affirmative reply
the countryman returned to the hotel, OBJ
tanned couple of packets, and having paid
the price asked, filed them and returned
TO his roSza to carry out the doctors in
structions
On the following morning ne happened
down at the beach when tle tide was
out, and after contemplating the broad re-
ceding beaches for some minutes, APP
