MAINE MATTERS.
Two Hundred and Fifty Grange
Halls In Pine Tree state.

Two Hundred and Fifty Grange
Halls In Pine Tree state.
One of the prime factors in the agri-
cultural education of the present is
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry.
and the state of Maine is peculiarly
fortunate, says DIR. G. NJ. TwitchelI in
the Tribune Farmer, in that the leading
spirits Of the grange have realized the
importance of this line of work and pre-
pared in the best manner possible for
its stability 1t is fast coming to be a
common thing for the institutes and
special agricultural and horticultural
gatherings to be held in grange halls.
Skowhegan Grange hall, the home of
over 300 live. earnest work patrons, is
centrally located i'll town of 6000 in
habitants and draws its membership
largely from the farms outside the viii
lage. When it is stated that we have
in Maine over $50 of these halls, built
and owned by the Order, the stranger
is able at once to measure the stabll-
ity of the grange in Maine. Drive
where one WILL these halls dot the hill
side or are found at the four corners III
our farming towns, monuments to the
zeal and enterprise of the builders and
a credit to the state. They have come
because the farmers believe in the es-
sential principles of the grange, and
fhpv will ond1lra So long ae the funda-
mental work of the Order is loyal to
the farm home and home farm. They
explain why our farm gatherings, in
stitutes, dairy and fruit mCAtings are
by invitation held in these halls, and
also why all these are so successful.
From the first the grange in Maine
has been conservative. Thus far the
dominating influence has been in the
hands of representative agricultural
workers from the farms, and naturally
the body has devoted itself to the
strengthening of farm life and the pros
perity of the workers thereon How
much this loyalty to the fundamental
purpose of the Order has had to do in
creating present aggressive and enthu-
siastic agricultural atmosphere no one
can tell. The fact is to be seen in every
part of the state, and our public men
today accord full praise to the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry

Poultry may be too fat for egg pro-

How Not TO catch Cold.

People are more likely TO catch cold
in the back than they are generally
aware of, and if neglected it may prove
a serious matter. The back, especially
between the shoulders, should always
be kept well covered, and never lean
with your back against anything that
is cold. Never sit with the back in
direct draft. and when warming it by
the fire do not continue to keep the
back exposed 10 the heat after it has
become comfortably warm. To do so
is debilitating

How ia Make the Hair Grow.

To stimulate the growth of the hair
hold the bristles of rather a soft brush
close to the head. touching it. In this
position work the handle about in
circular direction, keeping the bristles
in the same place and pressing lightly
on the skin Of the head. Move the
brush from place to place and continue
the action. The stimulating effect is
felt at once and the hair is afterward
fluffy and easily dressed.

How to Hang up clothes.

Hang up clothes by the thickest part,
waist or neckbands. etc, because if
hung up by the thinner part the water
would run into the thick part, lodge
there and take longer to dry. Hang ey-

but Little to Farm work.
In our artificial way OF doing busi-
ness now ii is inconyenient for the
farm shepherd to wait late for the
coming of the lambs. although the
range fiocks may be better suited with
a later lambing time. for the former
has leisure earlier and is crowded
with work later. and he can better care
for the lambs in January than he can
in May, when his time is arduously
taken up by the most pressing field
work of the year
Still more TO be regretted. the late
lambing time does not afford the nee
essaly opportunity to make the most

Enterprise of the English
And. strangely, we are contented with
this condition of things with our fiocks,
while the English flock owner has no
rest until he has, by all the slSillful
devices known to him, got his ewes
to bring their lambs in time to market
them at the highest prices of the year,
thus forestalling the markets and
doubling his profits And while he has
done this ne has as well, by equally
good business in another way. brought
his ewes to the habit of having twin
lambs every time and thus making
another double i'll his income from his

little or nothing more than the old
time ways of business, his flock is the
best paying part of the farm stock.

There is just now a sort of awaken
ing of farmers generally to the profita-
BILE results of the proper keeping of &

presses the foregoing opinion in Coun-
try Gentleman, and never before has
there been so much attention turned to
the sheep as at present. 1t is taking
the most judicious course, which is to
procure the stock in the autumn or
early winter and feed them until spring
or summer and procure a new supply
in the next season. This is really the
most desirable way, because easy and
profitable. and adds really nothing Sc
rious to the farm work, merely q

kept so. The most profit is made from
the earliest lambs, and, as with other
similar instances, when the business
has been got on to satisfactory basis,
it goes like we'll managed clock with

PEACE IN WASHINGTON.

It is a fitting tribute to the timely
services of Theodore Roosevelt in
bringing about the peace conference
between Russia and Japan that both
combatants agree willingly to meet in
Washington, the seat of government
in the United States, of which Roose-
welt is the representative.
Since this agreement between the
nations is to be made and signed in
Washington, it will give the United
States the nerve and stamina to see
that its terms are rigidly enforced.
The hope Of Russia is that interfer-
ence by European powers will prevent
Japan from taking her just reward.
Russia hopes to embroil Europe in
the settlement, to prevent Japan from
becoming mistress Of the Orient.
Let the United States become wit
ness 10 the agreement and then devote
her influences to the task Of seeing
that all its provisions ar sacredly per-
formed by Russia.

ditions in the various portions of the

what the commission does in this mat
ter. About all it can do that will be
of value to the general taXpaying pub
lie will be to provide a law by which
franchises, privileges and unseen
property values are brought to light
and taxed This will be its chief work
and in this work it should have the
best assistance of the people. Every
franchise held in oregon should be
made to pay taxes just as money in
vested in livestock, farming land or
other producing property. The farm,
mercantile stock and other visible
classes of property pay too much OF
the tax today.

OSTEOPATHY.


As the child grows up, passing
through the regular routine of chicken
poX, measles. scarlet fever, diphtheria
and other ills which are common to
childhood, the skeptics may say: "Os-
teopathy is all right for rheumatism.
nervous disorders. diseases of diges-
ton and old chronic cases. but when
it comes to diphtheria or scarlet fever
it can do nothing" No greater mis-
take can be made than this. In COM
munities where Osteopathy is older,
the Osteopaths are rapidly becoming
the family physicians, and are COM
batting this line of diseases with the
most gratifying results.
DIR. Charles Still, son of the founder
Of Osteopathy, gained imperishable
fame in the great epidemic of diph-
liberia at Red Wing. Mimi, few
wears past. in which he treated over
so cases without a single mishap,
while the regular physicians lost over
40 per cent It stands to reason that
II the Osteopath can handle chronic
infIammations and nervous disorders
in adults, which no one now denies
II is much more easy to control acute
conditions in children, where the sys-
tenn is active and quick to respond.

oREGoN's "ARIsToCRATs." Z"

In every American community is
a sprinkling Of would-be 'aristocrats,"
who believe in the sacredness of
property, the sanctity of social caste
and who would deny the privileges of
free government to all except those
who have wealth.
Such would-be aristocracy has
brought on the present factional
school war in Salem.
Since that town was first settled. its
population has contained a handful of
exclusive" citizens, who have fought
public education, retarded public
schools, built. up narrowness and
provincialism that is not representa-
tive of the virile West.
This little clique has openly declared
that public education was sort Of
charity bestowed upon those who were
unable to provide it for themselves.
1t has opposed taxation for public
schools on the ground that those who
were able to pay, alone should be ed
ucated. and that those who were not
able to pay would not appreciate an
education, anyway.
Possessing wealth and some influ-
ence this class of knockers is able to
employ any kind of hirelings; there
are always lackeys standing ready to
do their bidding for sop, so the per-
sistent work of this little class in any
community keeps the educational
status of that community in an unset
tied and unsatisfactory condition.
This same clique has held back

Caldwell saloon men made up liS'
of 90 sheepherders who changed the'r
trading point from Caldwell to other
towns because Caldwell saloons we're
closed and estimated that $4,000 in
trade was thus lost to Caldwell each
year by this policy. The Caldwell
News Immediately produced a list of
10 families who had refused to come
to Caldwell for school purposes be-
cause it was a wide open town, it be-
ing estimated that each of these
families would spend $500 per year
in the. city in which they located. or
total of $4,000. All of this latter
amount would have been spent in le-
gitimate channels, while 80 per cent
of the sheepherder's 500 per year
would be spent in the saloons and
worse places. The saloons did not
answer the argument.
