urging the Importance and necessity
Of cleaning up the orchards and keep
ing them clean, and illustrating their
talk in effective ways. Farmers are
to realize the Importance of absolute
ly clean orchards and fruit, and that
in simple justice to his neighbors as
we'll as to himself everyone with an
orchard is bound to rid it of pests, or
if this cannot be done, destroy it.
A sufficient amount of spraying,
it has been abundantly proven, done
at the right time and with the most
effective matter, will rid young and
otherwise healthy orchards of scale
and all other pests; but In the case of
some old orchards that have been
pest ridden many years an ak and a
fire may be the only sufficient means
of cure. 'The nozzle or an ak" is
coming to be the watchword up the
valley and in southern Oregon and
with that motto well lived up to we
shall soon have clean orchards
throughout Oregon and vastly better
fruit.
1t is a shame that we people of
Oregon can scarcely get any really
good apples unless we pay almost their
weight in silver for them. There are
fine, sound apples raised in some To-
calities in Oregon but these are sent
abroad while we have to use the
wormy, scrubby apples that are dis
grace to the state in general and in
particular to the man who raised
them. But there are signs that this
is going to be changed. Orchardists
and farmers are waking up to the
need and necessity of producing clean,
sound, we'll favored fruit, and we ex-
pect to see great change during the
next few years.
Oregon ought to be and may be
made the best fruits state in the
union, but it will take work, with the
''nozzle," and some with the FAX. !"
Go at it, and keep at it. 1t will pay.

ATHENA. FEBRUARY 2, 1906

The Iowa house of fepresentativ yes
has passed a bill to make it peni-
tentiaBy offense for man to desert
his wife or family. Iowa is thus
coping with a matter that should re-
ceive the attention of every state
legislature. A good, heavy penalty
staring the family deserter in the
face would do more to cut down poor
house and public home expenses than
any thing we know of. With such a
law in force, there would be fewer
washer women and less numbers Of
half clothed, half starved children.
The cause given for divorces in nine
cases ont of ten coming before the
courts, is desertiOn. As it is, any
improvident, lazy, shiftless SC oundrel
can wed a girl and when she rebels
at making the living, he can leave
her (and the kids) with impunity
knowing that the frail little woman
has no recourse whatever to force him
to provide for his family. He drifts
to some locality where he is unknown,
aud after the divorce is granted, he
plucks another victim. In the mean
time bis children are fed from toll at
the washtub and clothed by the hand
of charity. With desertion of family
penitentiary offense, there would be
fewer love-at- first t-sight marriages, and
the divorce lawyer would lose some
of his clientele.

NEEDS OF STOCK IN CARS.
Oregonian.


The law which requires stock in
transit from the ranges to the sham
bles in Chicago and other slaughter
ing and packing centers to be unload
ed for feeding and watering once in %
hours is being vigorously attacked by
stockmen, who propose substitute
of 36 hours between meals" for the
animals. The present law was enact
ed at the earnest solicitation of the
National Humane Society, both in the
interest of the animals and the con-
sumers of their flesh. 1t was asserted
that, owing to fever created by thirst
and hunger, the flesh of animals sent
without proper intervals of rest, food
and water from the ranges to the
market was unfit to eat, and that the
cruelty inflicted upon the helpless
creatures was appalling to the SIM
plest instinct Of humanity. Now
come representatives of stockmen and
urge modification of the law by ad-
ding eight hours to the time specified
as intervals for unloading, feeding and
resting the animals in transit. Strange
as it may appear, they urge this in
behalf of the creatures themselves,
it being asserted that sheep especially
do better and reach the stock yards in
better condition when fed and
watered less frequently on the way.
This argument is somewhat dis
credited by the subsequent statement
that the 2S-hour law is expensive to
stockmen and that to meet its require
ments actually costs the sheepmen of
Idaho 100000 year. The dumb
! creatures cannot add their testimony
to this controversy. hence no doubt
that of the stockmen will prevail and
the fasting periods of the animals
in transit will be prolonged eight
hours as urged. Humanity, as well
as sentiment, when confronted by
commeroialism, is very likely to &c
to the wall.

GAMBLING AT SEA.
From London Truth.

A friend of mine recently returned
from trip to the United States very
full of the mischief done by profes-
sional gamblers and card sharpers on
the Atlantic liners, and strongly of
opinion that the shipping companies
are responsible for the existence of
this evil.
It is pretty certain, / believe, that
the blackleg business is organized like
any other industry, and that the gangs
who frequent the Atlantic liners
are regular employees of an individual
or firm. 1t is at any rate certain that
the members Of the gangs are known
to the ships officers, and my friend
tells me that the names of seven OF
them were pointed out to him on the
passenger list of the White Star liner
on which he returned and the in
dividuals identified as they sat down
at table. It is interesting to note
that among them was woman and
youth of innocent appearance.
1t is one of the worst features OF
the evil that many of them are
youngsters going out to America OF
Canada, with most of their worldly
wealth in their pockets. My friend
learned that the gang on his ship got
100 pounds from certain passengers
at one setting, and that on a recent
voyage of the same ship they had
fleeced young passenger to the tune
of 600 pounds. He therefore urges
that as the companies know the in.
dividuals they should absolutely re.
fuse to carry them, and stand the
racket of legal proceedings for sc
doing.

The following from an eastern paper
is true as gospel: "The individual
who gets the fewest letters makes the
most complaint to the postmaster; the
man who never has a good meal at
home growls at the hotel aocommoda-
tions; the man who complains most of
his neighbors is the meanest of his
lot; the church member who pays the
least of the preachers salary finds the
most fault and always complains of
the management of the church; the
man who never invests dollar in
town enterprise is man who is al
ways crying down public improve
ments; the loafer or no account work
man is always to the front in strikes
aud labor agitation, and the subscrib-
er who is slowest to pay his subscrip-
tion finds the most fault with the
paper.
