MILTON. Ore, oct. pa meeting
was held in the city hall on Wednes-
day evening to receive the report

Hood River irrigation congress held
in that city
Messrs. Jonathan Talbert S. j.
Campbell and Cyrus Powell were
called upon by the chairman Mr.. Jorn
Vinson. to make their report, and
r. T. Bean was elected to act as
secretary of the meeting.
Mr. Talbert was the first speaker
and he expressed himself as having
been wonderfully instructed and
benefited by his trip. He had met
the most prominent fruitgrowers of
the state and had talked with them
as to the secret of their great sue
cess II raising fruit, especially APP
pies. and the good prices obtained
for the same.
Mr.. Campbell was of the opinion
! that this district should contine Itself
wholly to the cultivation of one pro-
| duct preferably prunes, because OF
the nature of the soil and thus ge
! a name for the district that would b'
known the world over. This would
give us better prices and would b.
conducive to better fruit. The meet
ing was then adjourned until tn

After examining all the counties
of the state l find that errors in ac-
counts can be found in only one" said

err, while on his way from Grangeville
this morning. Mr.. Liggett has made
am inspection of the books of that
city in the past few days and reports
the records in excellent condition.
In his inspections of the books of
the state, Mr.. Liggett says that he Is
advising and in many places maui
gurating a new system of account
keeping. In the county clerks office
he is placing book called the Cash
Fee book in which separate columns
are placed for the individual use Of
the various collections of the county
officers. The use of the cash fee book
| enables one to Immediately ascertain
| the state of affairs existant in the
office without going through the num-
erous books in detail.
| In the assessors Office he is insti-
tuting the use of the assessment roll
having equalization columns and a de-
linquent column in the same book
The treasurer's cash book is another
of the books which is being used. The
use Of this book relieves the treasurer
Of the duties heretofore existant, OF
making typewriter monthly reports
Blank reports are filed in the book
with spaces for totals, to be filled ir
by the officer.

The Way to Make Hens Moult.

INC why 10 "hkc henh MOuIt.
One Of the achievements Of modern
poultry keeping is that of forcing a hen
to doff her old coat, and grow new
one before the time when she would
do so naturally. Many hens shed their
feathers so late In the season, natural
ly, that cold weather overtakes them
before they get new suits, consequently
they seldom begin laying before spring.
If the moult can be fastened so that
new coat Of feathers Is grown and
the laying can be started before cold
weather, the prospect is good for a
supply of eggs during fall and winter.
The result is usually accomplished
by cutting off all meat and mash foods
putting the hens on short rations of
grain for a week or so to stop the lay
ing, then allow more liberty and feed
full ration high in protein. This loosens
the old feathers, which drop off quickly
and starts rapid growth of the new.
A liberal allowance Of beef scrap is
essential, and linseed meal Is an advan-
tage Sunflower seeds are also good
during the moult

Dangerous Corn Pest.

The cornstalk borer has infested va.
rious parts Of the county :or many
years, but has not done great damage
In most parts of the corn belt. 1t has
begun to appear In Iowa and Kansas in
the last two or three years.
1t is large, white, brown-spotted
caterpillar which bores into d stalk Of
young corn. When fully grown it bur-
rows down into the tap-root, and In
the spring transforms to a pupa, from
whlch the adult soon emerges and LAYS
It's eggs on the young corn near the ak
lis.
The young larvae Matching from them
bore into the stalk and upward through
the pith. When fully grown they bore
outwards to the surface, making hole,
from which the moth escapes and trans
forms to pupa in the burrow. This in
sect Is two-brooded, the second brood
feeding on the old stalks, generally be-
tween the second joint and the ground,
and becoming full grown about harvest
time, when they go into winter quar-.
ters.
when corn was seriously infested
last year and the stalks left standing
a second infestation may be expected
this year unless the farmer has raked
and burned, method which we have
always suggested when the cornstalks
were known to harbor any kind of in
sect pests. Corn is too good to be with
out Is full supply Of enemies, which at
tack y from the very time it Is planted
in the ground until 1t is in the full
ear.

Oh the floor. l watched him expectantly,
Its a great gift, is observation" he
began. 1T makes just the difference
between mediocrity and success in game
hunters and novel-writers, in painters of
pictures and explorers of the unknown
lands, where a man has never a map
to help him. And this same trick of OBJ
servation has given me some very re-
markable results this evening; and how
remarkable you will realize when l set
them out in proper order. You've a
logical head Cousin Robert, and | want
you to give me your fullest attention.
Contradict me if l overstate the case.
Fact the first: That certain cele-
brated scientist, Rudolf Marnac had an
i'll feeling-a very ill and evil feeling
towards a certain brother-professor, one
Hermann Won otockmar. Fact the sew
ond: That Won Stockmar died sudden
ly."
"Of a natural cause, as certified by a
competent physician" l added quickly.
Exactly. Fact the third Marnac,
who considers you a deserter to the
Stockmar camp-as, indeed, l gather
from your own story-appears in your
rooms to inform you of the sudden death
of his enemy. Now, why should he do
thatT"
He is an eccentric. A sudden whim,
perhaps. We were very intimate once,
you must remember"
Though hardly so now, from his man
ner of regarding you when he first an
nounced himself this evening"

saying Listeners hear no good of
themselves, but that does not tend to i'm
prove their tempers."
well, let that pass. 1t brings US to
fact number four: He tells deliberate
lie."
"A lie! But when?"
Ihe man was worth studying. When
l first saw him this evening, l ran my
eye over him. / especially noticed his
hands-their suppleness, their delicate
color, their long prehensile fingers. ]
DO not doubt that he is very proud of
them. He wore no ring-it is not the
custom of those who deal with germs to
so adorn themselves. What was he
looking for so anxionsly in this room, if
it were not ring? Why did he leave us
IN the hall that he might conduct this
search before our presence disturbed
him?'
Il cannot suggest an explanation; but
really, Cousin Graden, you seem to be
weaving most unnecessary tangle

to obtain"

found amazement.
Yes, murder, Cousin Robert; as de-
liberate and cold-blooded doing tc
death of an innocent man as has ever
befouled corner OIL Gods fair world"
lie rose from s chair and plowed
heavily up and down the room. The
veins started in his forehead; his huge
hands knotted themselves tensely.
Listen. This afternoon a man Law
asleep on that couch in the corner. We
know the manner of mana keen in
vestigator, an indefatigable worker, an
honest fighter; but one who had never
done in all his life mean or ignoble
action. There comes a creak upon the
stairs, the door is opened softly, a head
peers in. He-the murderer-enters the
room. He knew the custom of the house
in this warm September weather: the
doors open, the old servant asleep, the
master taking his regular sesta. How
far is he criminal, how far a luna
tic? Is this act premedtated, or the
sudden tempting of opportunity? Who
can say? 1t is enough that in his dis
eased imagination he has come to regard
the sleeper as an enemy who maliciously
set himself to destroy his theories and
to bring ridicule on the laborious work of
years. His desire for revenge is con-
centrated on the man before him.
How the thing came into his DOS
session | cannot guess, though that
should be a point easily discovered. He
himself may have obtained it from AZ
rica, or it may have come into his hands
by chance, as the chief of the Entomo-
logical Museum. But he has 1t safe
enough shut up in the tin box which fell
from his pocket in your rooms. The
spring of the lid was detective, you may
remember; it is that same defectiye
spring that will hang him.
He stands over there, listening and
watching. There is no sound; the sleeper
will not wake. He opens the case upon
the dressing-table and lifts the thing
with tweezers-for every hair of it has
its poison. With scissors he cuts off
some score of hairs, catching them in
the crease of a folded sheet of note
paper. He replaces it in the case and
closes the lid. Like an ugly shadow
he fits across to the couch, kneeIs by its
side, and one, two, three times blows
the hairs from the creased paper across
the intake of the sleeper's breath. He
turns, snatches up the case from the
table, and is gone. In five hours Profess
sor Won Stockmar Is dead of inflamma-
tion Of the lungs. There is not a doc
tor in all Germany who would chal-
lenge that diagnosis. In nine hours Pro-
fessor Rudolf Marnac Is accused by me-
Henry Graden, of murder"

The worst enemy to alfalfa Is dod-

lives on alfalfa and clover and rapidly
destroys them. The seeds are small and
yellow and most Of the alfalfa seeds
from the West are infested with dod.

the dodder seeds can be removed by
sitting the seed through sieve having
twenty meshes to the inch. Careful

Cheap Fuel Alcohol.

DenaturiZed alcohol will probably be-
come another great product Of the
southern states. 1t is claimed that cot
tonseed oil machinery is perfectly
adapted to making Industrial alcohol
from the potato. If this Is successfully
proven, the many cottonseed oil mills
Of the south, which are idle each sum-
mer season for lack Of material, will be
able to operate all the time and keep
their employees together Furthermore,
being already equipped with the ma
chinery, they will, no doubt, be able to
manufacture the alcohol very cheaply.
Farmers would also be benefited by the
Immense demand for potatoes that
would result In Cuba alcohol Is pro-
duced and sold from twelve to fifteen
cents a gallon, and it Is said to make
an excellent fuel for running engines.
1t produces no SCOT or disagreeable
odOrs When the law recently passed
by congress to denaturize alcohol in
the United States becomes operative it
Is expected greatly to increase the use
Of the article both for fuel and other
purposes.
