Too Many Varieties

Judge Thos. f. Ryan has ordered
the suspension of the work of plant.
ing an experimental orchard on his
place near Gladsi one, in Clackam8s
county, says the Oregon City Conr-
ier, until decision can be reached
relative to the nature OF the varieties
to be planted. 1t was understood be-
tween Judge Ryan and the State Hor
ticultural society that six varieties
of values all possessing commercial
value we're to be planted, but Is va
rieties have been received, of 10 trees
each The Judge does not intend to
have his ten acres utilized in this
manner, but il is probable that The
matter will be adjusted to the mutual
satisfaction of the state officials and
the owner. Tracts from the farms of
W. Il. Holder, at Garfield and Arthur
Keyler, of Molalla, have also been se-
lected as the region in which COM
mercial apple orchards shall he plant
ed. The three ten acre tracts in
different parts of Clackamas county
will be planted and cared for by the
state for eight yeals, and. then turned
over to the resp ctive owners, who
will be under no expense for cultiva-
tion, spraying, harvesting, etc., and
who will be permitted to use the
ground for two or three years for gar
den products. Judge Ryan will plant
300 peach trees between the rows of
apple trees on his place.

an immense explosion and running up

one post, and Senden's body a short
distance away badly mangled. The

As a rule, salt meat Is not adapted to the requirements of nervous people, as nutritious juices go into the brine to great extent. Fish of all kinds Is good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to the common opinion, are not as digestii ble as those that have been well cooked. Good bread, sweet butter and lean meat are the best food for the nerves. People troubled with insomnia and nervous starting from sleep and sensa- tons of falling can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take pint at a meal and take four meals day. People with weakened nerves require frequently a larger quantity of water than those whose nerves and brains are strong. It aids the digestion of these by making 1t soluble and seems to have a direct tonic effect.
