A New Method of Cooling Rooms.

John Arbuckle, the rich Brooklyn
manufacturer. has invented method
of cooling and drying the air of
rooms no matter how not and humid
it may be outside. The plan con
sists of pipes containing brine, which
is carried around the room, being
forced very much like the heat IS
forced in winter, and the more IN
tense the pressure the lower will be-
come the temperature. The secret
of it is that the moisture is taken
from the air, being CONCEALED on the
pipes, from which it is then removed
and the humidity is thus done away
with. No ice nor chemicals are used.
This method of cooling has been e1-
perimentally demonstrated at the
Hotel Margaret and those who nave
seen it in operation say it is great
success

Using Crude OiIin Mango.

The government has recently been
making experiments III Colorado with
dipping cattle in crude oil with view
of studying the effect Of this product
on mango Or scabies. So far 1t ap
pears that crude oil is very effective
remedy, but in a number of cases it
was little too effective, since the cat
tie lost all of their hair The oil can,
therefore, not be recommended for
general use, but it is possible that it
could be used on a small scale by
farmers who have only few animals
affected with the disease. The sulphur
treatment recommended by the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry is the best
known remedy SO far, but it is a little
difficult to prepare where it is wanted
for only a few animals. There are
now a number Of proprietary dips on
the market which give most excellent
results.

Another Device for Preventing Sea
sickness.


An ingenious self-leveling sea bunk
for vessels, the object of which is
to overcome the discomfort to the
passenger of malde-mer, has been
devised by London dentist. It has
now been in successful operation
upon one of the mail-boats plying
across the English Channel. The de-
vice comprises swinging cot with
four cords passing from the corners
to electric brakes, which automatic
ally check any attempt of the cot
to depart from its position. While
the cot remains level, the cords are
free to pass on and OF the pulleys
on the brakes. The slightest loss
of horizontally of the cot causes
mercury in four tubes to fall in some
of them and rise in others, and so
complete the electric current to the
particular brake required to be put
in operation to check the further
loss of horizontally. The loss OF
level from the variation of the posi-
ton taken by the passenger is auto
matically compensated; water being
practically the same specific gravity
as the human body, a heavy man vii
press more water to the foot of a spe-
cially-designed water bed than a light
weight, as also from side to side.

Dust Spraying Is Doubtful.

Professor Wilmon of Georgia has the
following to say on the spraying Of
fruit: Some advocates of dust spray
ing make the dust out to be an abso-
lutte and immediate panacea for all ills,
insect, fungous or other, affecting all
living vegetation. A peculiar thing
about the dust spraying school is that
it's members insist that dust spraying
is shortly to revolutionize all horticul-
ture. AS matter of fact, dust spray
ing machines have been manufactured
and used in this country since 1854.
Many formulas for the preparation
of dry fungicides have been published
and extravagant claims made for them,
but in our own experience with con-
siderable number of these formulas we
have found their true value to be large
" problematical Sulphur, I've, copper
sulDhate, lime and various other COM
binations of these have been advocated
for use against fungous diseases. The
greatest objection to dust spraying Is
the fact that the dust does not ordi-
narily adhere as well as does the same
substance applied as liquid spray.
The preparation Of many Of the fungi
cides advocated for dust spraying has
involved the sacrifice OF so much time
and labor that it's cost has been often
times comparatively higher than all the
work of preparing and applying liquid
sprays. In the coming season we ex-
pect to test dry Bordeaux mixture very
thoroughly, especially in connection
with brown rot.

DO ATHLETES DIE YOUNG?
Some Pertinent Statistics That go to
Refute a Widely Popular Fallacy.

According to DR.. William G. Ander-
son, in his article on Making Yale
Athlete, in Everybody's Magazine,
college athletics tend to prolong
rather than to shorten life. 1.-The nos
tile criticism says DR.. Anderson,
Chat athletes die young has been
so often made without definite refu-
tation that it passes for truth among
those who mistake rumor for fact.
An investigation of the health and
longevity of college athletes must be
exhaustive to furnish trustworthy
data. Realizing the Importance OF
such statistics, Professor Franklin
Dexter, the Librarian of Yale, has re-
Gently completed the task of collect
ing the records of 761 athletes VINO

rial was gathered for prominent life

to the director of the gymnasium.
The main deductions are as follows:
"Of these 761 athletes, 81 have died
since graduation. The causes were:
Consumption, IL; pneumonia, a;
drowning, 6; heart disease, z; sui

Pigs Must Be Started Right.

The money in pigs is largely made
between the time the SOW is bred and
the pigs are six weeks Old If the SOW
receives the right kind of care and
feed, and enough Of it, she will farroW
strong, thrifty pigs.
They need especial care in the first
six weeks. If they are kept confined
in small pen and the sow gives a
large amount Of milk they are likely
to get thumps and die off in short
order. If the pen is not kept clean
they are likely to get sore mouth or
catarIh. If not properly fed they are
likely to become stunted. Give to the
pigs the right kind of start up to six
weeks of age and they will take very
good care of themselves for the next
six months if you leave enough feed
lying around where they can get at it.
They need babying for the first six
weeks. Don't go to the field in the
morning until you have looked after
the pigs, and come in early enough in
the evening to see every one of them.
They will pay for all the care you give
to them.

Johnson Grass Hay.

the adoption of thoroughly modern
methods Of tillage throughout the
Johnson grass region, it may become
practicable to utilize this grass for tho
production Of hay without serious in
reference with the cultivation of other
crops. Fall blowing, treatment with a
root digger or perhaps with a heavy
spike tooth harrow, combined with
more or less hand pulling the next sea-
son, will reduce the stand Of grass so
that it will be several years before it
will again seriously interfere with the
production of cultivated crops. The
land can then be allowed to go back to
Johnson grass for two or three years
for the purpose Of hay production, thus
adapting it to a rotation of five or six
years. The writer, however, would not
advise any farmer to sow Johnson
grass OH land that is free from it I'M
til more is known about methods Of
cultivating it. It is very unfortunate
that grass that will produce three
good crops Of hay in an ordinary sea-
son should be so hard to control as to
render it very serious pest.-W. G.

The following are the conclusions Of
a fruit grower as to how it is best to
plow an orchard: Shorten the evener
and whiffietrees, equip the harness
with muley names, procure a wood
beam pillow having the advantages of
a wide range of adjustment as above
mentioned, muzzle the horse to keep
him from browsing, which is not only
an injury to the trees, but he can't
eat and at the same time give his at

Sheep are really long lived animals
and with good care they have been
known to live and bring lambs up to
fifteen years old. This age is reached,
however, only under the best care
and special feeding. Pasturing is not
so conducive to long life as special
feeding, in which roots are used album
dainty. On the whole it is not profit
able to keep sheep over six or seven
years, which is about the average life
of a sheep under good ordinary care.

The Lewis and Clark Fair.

The Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition has done more than show
the resources of the great Northwest
to the entire world; it has cemented
the interests of the whole Pacific
States region and has brought the
people together as one great family
There has never been time in the
history of the coast when the people
have had such unusual opportunities
of meeting one another as at the
great exposition at Portland this
year. Merchants from different
cities have come to know one an
other, and the meeting has been of
mutual advantage. All classes OF
people have been brought together
and the man from the south coast
has met the man from the north
coast.

and cooperation among the people
of the Pacific states into effective
working organization for the benefit
of the entire region. More than a

! Oregonian's Belief that Hon Prices
Are Due to Advance.

1t is the opinion of all conserva-
tive men in the hop trade that the
bottom of the market has been
reached. Despite the long continued
efforts OF the bears to hammer down
prices by frightening holders into q
stampede, values have not receded a
fraction of a cent since the present
level of prices was reached early in
the summer. Never before in the
history of the market has such per-
sistent campaign been waged by deal
ers bearishly inclined, but 1t has been
without effect, except upon growers
of Washington The majority of
these have parted with their hold
ings, but the Oregon and California
growers have stood firm and only sold
when they could get their own prices.
The future of such market is easy
to foresee, unless history should fail
to repeat itself. 1t is plain that buy
ers must raise their bids or do with
out hops.
The stiffness of the Oregon grow
ers is due to the discOuraging con-
dition of the crops in most parts of
the United States, with which they
are entirely familiar. Instead Of i'm
proving. conditions are becoming less
favorable. particularly in New Yory
state. The New York Hop Report
ing company, under date of August
90, wired the following report on the
crop of that state:
"The warm, sultry rains of last
week has caused an increase of ver-
min, and former estimates of the crop
will have to be Observation-Disclosures.
