Care of Horses' Feet.

If your blacksmith knows his bust
ness your horses will be properly
shod, but do not lay foot troubles of
the horse at the door of the black
smith, for the chances are you are
at the bottom of the trouble because
you will not keep the floor of the
stables clean and thus avoid thrush.
There is no reason why there should
not be a gutter behind the horses
such as are behind the cows, and
thus avoid to some extent the posi-
bility of the horse standing in his ex-
crement. Then, keep close watch of
the hoofs and see that they are cleaned
daily. With sticks dig out any sub
stances and then cleanse with stiff
brush and finally wash with a sponge,
using tepid water, in which a dozen
drops, or Il teaspoonful, of carbolic
acid has been mixed Try il. keep it
up and avoid thrush

TRIBUTE TO A cHINAMAN.
Irrigon Regrets the Departure of Hon.
est Mr.. Ginu Yjck.


est MIR. Cling Yick.
A fine gold watch was presented to
Cling Yick Monday on his departure
for home in the Flowery Kingdom.
1t was presented by the people of Ir-
rigon in token of the high esteem in
which Cling is held and bore this
inscription: ITO Cling Yick from his
Oregon friends, August 5, 1905.p
Cling Yick has left us and gone to
China, the land of his birth, where
a loving wife and family yearn for
his coming. He has not seen them for
over eight years, and there is among
them one son, now almost eight years
old, whom he has never seen.
Cling has been in the employ almost
constantly for seventeen years of
some members of the present Oregon
Land and Water Company, and for
! nearly three years he has been at
this place, cooking in camp, in cook
house, and finally in the hotel. He
and Mr.. Holbrook were the pioneers
of Stokes, now Irrigon.
There are people who do not like
our almond eyed Celestial friends
They call them "chinks" and think
them an inferior race, unfit to deal
or associate with. To all such We
would point to our friend Cling. He
was cook. He never posed for
more than he was; but there is not
person in the State of Oregon who
did his duty better, more honorably
and honestly or in pleasantly, gen
tier way than did Cling.
The editor of the Irrigator is moi
worshiper of the yellow men. He
believes that for many reasons they
will never, can never, assimilate with
the great English speaking family
But we do believe in giving yellow
men, brown or black men credit-full
credit-when they perform their duty
exceptionally well.
And Cling did more than this. He dis
it always cheerfully, always promptly
and~ he had the intuition to do the
right thing at the right time,
And over and above and Deyono
this, he was honest clear down to his
toes. Not because he was watched
or because he feared detection, but
because it was his nature to be hon,
est and loyal and true.
He goes to China never to return
He cannot come back owing to the
laws of our country, but he does not
care much, for he has been frugal and
saving and ranks as rich man at
home. But we often wish that there
was some elasticity TO the exclusion
act, some clause that would allow
such men as Cling to go and come
at will, for we who know him best
know him to be man who would
only honor our country by returning.

Before the investigation of Dougher.
TVS affairs are concluded it is said
the defalcations of the superintendent
OF schools may reach 100000. Dough

result of defective bookkeeping, and
says his entire fortune, which is esti-

if necessary to make it good
Mr.. Dougherty has been city super
intendent of schools for twenty-five
years. He is immensely wealthy, and
besides being president of the Peoria
National Bank, is a heavy stakeholder
in the Dime Savings Company. the
Peoria Livery Company and other con
Germs.
He is a trustee of the fund Of S175.-

Association and is a past president Of
the association. He is a close friend
of Nicholas Murray Butler, presidents
of Columbia University of New York,
and has been for years regarded as one
of the foremost educational men in the

The news of his arrest created The
greatest excitement. Although there

According TO Peoria dispatch it

Give Plenty of Water.

1t is astonishing how many people
think animals do not particularly
need water. They give the horses and
dogs all they want and frequently,
the cows not so frequently, and the
rest of the stock on the farm when
they think of it. Frequently people
say that cats do not require water.
and yet those who have had expert
ence know that cats crave water-not
much at a time, but several times a
day. The lack of water has thrown
them into commissions. If man needs
considerable water in order to he
healthy, there is no reason why ami
mails should not need it, Water poul-
try and other stock as regularly and
as carefully as they are fed. Take
swine as another example Make it
b mess to see that they have clean,
fires alter daily in a clean vessel,
and you will see how readily they
drink it, and drinking it they must
need it and it must do them good

FertiIizers and Manure.

Farmers who have used fertilizers
and manure together claim that the
combination is superior to either alone.
and that acid phosphate is excellent as
an addition to the manure heap. The
mixture of fertilizers and manure gives
the crop soluble plant food in the
early stages of growth and the manure
provides a supply later. Every farmer
values his manure, and will apply it
somewhere. hence the best mode of
deriving the greatest benefit from it is
to increase it's efficiency by adding
fertilizers in some form to the heap.

insects by electricity. A dynamo is
so placed upon hand car that no
electricity is engendered while the ear
is standing still. When in motion the
current passes into the ground through
the iron wheels of the car upon one
side, and upon the other through the
points of brushes of copper wire,
which are fastened in the rear of the
car so as to be a few inches above
