The question is, what is to be done il
the coming race is to be protected, and the
answer may well be told in the words OF
Mrs: Blanche F. Stephanou, of 1928 s

nent Greek lawyer of that city.
In a recent letter, she says: "For five
years after the birth Of my baby, suffered

There is more Catarrh ia this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
beincurable. For great many years doctors
pronouncedit a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be 4
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrn

How to Grow Big Strawberries.

Great Crops of Strawberries and How
to Grow Them" is the title of hand
some book published by the r. M. Kell-
ogg Co., the famous growers Of thor
oughbred pedigree plants Of Three Riv-
ers, Mich. The book contains Ga pages
and on every page is a picture of
strawberry or photo-engraving Of a
scene indicating the result of proper Gull
tural methods in strwberry production.
Illustrations of convenient devices and
tools for making work easy in the straw
berry field appear. The book tells you
just what and how and when to do every
thing from the time the plants are set
until the berries are marketed, and how
to handle the plants to make them pro-
duce larger crops the second year than
they did the first. 1t also teaches you
how to improve plants by selection. The
book is handsomely printed and is a
veritable picture book Everybody in
terested in strawberry culture, either for
market or family use, should have it.
Send for a copy, but send neither money

rats. They build their nests under
the nests of the birds. During the
day they chase about and at night
return home to get warm" and to
sleep. Their squirming disturbs the
old birds who Immediately desert the
nest. By the time the bird returns
the squads are either dead or too weak
to accept their food. If you want to
raise squads you can't raise mice.
Get rid of the latter.
This is the time of year when
breeders of squads should watch out
for lice. The warm weather brings
them and dirty houses enable them
to multiply. Give your birds plenty
of tobacco stems, keep your house
well whitewashed, sprinkle lime about
and if then you find you have lice
see that there is a good sprinkling
of kerosene in the empty nests, in
addition to sprinkling the young with
some powder for determination of
lice. Some breeders object to using
kerosene, but it does no harm to the
birds and accomplishes a whole lot
of good.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

1t has been proven beyond a doubt
that there is a great strain placed upon
the eyes by working in the field all day
with the glare of a strong sun shining
down for many hours. Besides this,
there are many other duties which have
to be performed on the farm which tax
the eyes more or less. The wise man is
the one who takes care of his sight, for
without it he is lost. The Seattle OPP
ical Co., 715 Second avenue, Seattle,
make speciality of diseases of the eye
an dear. Their offices are manned with
the most practiced and experienced men,
their goods are standard and their prices
as reasonable as can be found in the
state They solicit your patronage, be-
lieving that through it they will also
secure that of any of your friends who
may be in need of the services of eX-
pert opticians. If your eyes trouble
you, don't go to the first place that has
sign out as an optical parlor, but look
up the reputation of the firm first. Find
out if they are competent to help you
and then go ahead. The Seattle Optical
Co. invites a thorough investigation of
their competency.

Roadways Across Private Property.

Roadways Across Private Property.
A subscriber across the bay sent
The Ranch a question on the law re-
lating to private roadways, saying
that some parties in his neighborhood
are unable to get road out to the
county road except by paying heavy
yearly rental for the necessary strip
of land for a road. Can such land be
condemned, and if so, what is the
cost? Who must bear the cost, the
county or the parties needing the
road?
The laws of the state provide for
such contingencies as the above. The
owner or owners of any lands, not
abutting on any highways, or which
are so situated that it is necessary to
cross the lands of others to obtain
a reasonable way to any public high
way, may obtain the location and es-
Enlistment of a road between his or
their lands and the highways by pro-
ceedings in the superior court. The
person or persons so desiring said
road shall petition the court, which
petition must set out the description
of petitioners lands, situation Of high
way with reference to land, necessity
of road, and value of land to be appro-
priated.
1t will be necessary for the pc
titioners to put up bond in the
sum of 5000 Upon hearing Of their
said petition, after notice, the court
appoints three commissioners to view
the land for the purpose of seeing
whether there is necessity for the
road and the most practicable route
for such road. After examination they
must report to the court the necessity
and the route by accurate description,
and the value of land which would be
taken. Commissioners are allowed
So per day. All costs must be paid by
the petitioners and the petitioners
must also pay for the land taken
