A BUNCH OF CELERY.

Trimmed, washed and ready for market:
boards should not be removed till nee
essary, and the trimmed celery must
not be allowed to lie exposed to the
sun or wind for any length of time. II
is we'll also to have piece of canvas
to protect the celery while it is on the
wagon on the way to the washing
house. In marketing from the trench
es the process is practically the same
as from the rows, except that the eel
cry is already loosened from the soil
and the roots can be removed more
easily.
Upon reaching the washing room the
celery is placed upon rack consisting e
of wooden Stats over a large trough
and subjected to a spray Of cold water
to cool it and to remove the adhering
soil. After washing it is allowed tC
drain; then it is tied in punches of
twelve or more plants each, according
to the size, as shown in the cut. The
punches are packed in a box for first
grade celery and eight or nine for Sec
ond and third grades. These boxes
should be practically air tight, and a

CORN FODDER.
A Massachusetts, Mans Practical
Method of Green Curing.

A Massachusetts, Mans Practical
Method of Green Curing.
Those who have corn fodder or sto
yer and have not a silo will do well to
try my way of curing it, suggests a
writer in New England Homestead.
Cut it before it is injured by the frost,
and If very green allow it to lie on the
ground from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours. If the heaps are very large
turn them and let them remain another
day and night.
Large Bundles.
Then put it into as large bundles as
can he handled and arrange from
twelve to sixteen bundles in a stack,
first setting a stake or bean pole to
stand them around and tying the first
four bundles to the stake. When all
are in place bind them around the cen
ter of the stock and again around the
tassels This will make it necessary
to use stout twine or tarred rope for
binding, but it is not very expensive.
Curing In Stocks.
The stocks will stand upright and
not fall in the wind, and if the fodder
heats at all the heat will pass upward,
so that it will not mold, and the fod-
der will cure perfectly with all but the
outside stalks as green as when cut.
Fodder so cured is worth nearly as
much as good English hay, and If it is
cut in pieces an inch long the cows
will eat it nearly all, and if they re-
ceive one and a half to two bushels
every night they will do as we'll and
give as much milk as if they had the
best hay in the barn.

STOP The, STRENUOUS LIFE
Weakens the Tissues and Lessons
Organic Vitality.

The stress and strain of the strenuous
life in both city and country tends to-
wards stomach troubles.
Five people suffer today where one did
ten years ago with sick headache, dizzi-
ness, hatulenoe, distress after eating,
specks before the eyes, bloating, nervous
ness, sleepleesness and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
Ali who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two out
of three in Corvallis and other towns,
should use Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
Nothing else is as safe, yet effective;
nothing else can be so thoroughly relied
upon to relieve all troubles from indiges-
ton as Mi-o-na.
1t is not mere digestive taken after
the food is eaten, but true tonic, stimu-
liant and strengthener for the muscular
walls of the stomach. increasing the flow
of digestive fluids and putting the stom-
ach into such condition that it does the
work Nature expects of it.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in it's curative
action that Graham & Wells, with every
50-cent box they sell, give guarantee to
refund the money, unless the remedy
does all that is claim sd for it.

Unselfsh Tears.

President Samuel P. Colt of the
United States Rubber company was
discussing in New York the AMIGA
bic trade agreement that has been
made between his firm and the In
tercontinental Rubber company.
'1t is BEST" he said, ''for COM
petitors to agree to be fair and hon
est with one another, and this
agreement of ours is fair and hon
est one It is not like those where
in two rivals, while pretending to be
fair, yet knife one another contin-
ually in the back. Such hypocritical
agreements remind me of two chill
dren, two little boys, I know.
'SThey were lunching, Billy and
Jack, and when the butler brought
on the dessert it was seen that there
vas only one orange in the fruit
basket. Instantly Billy, the larger
boy, set up loud bawling.
"'Now what's the matter? said
the governess: What are you cry
ing about, Billy?'
"I'm cryin',' Billy answered,
because there's no orange for
Jack"

JAPANS TWO WARS.

Japan has two minor wars on
her hands the by-product of her
benevolent assimilation of other
peoples. The first is in Formosa.
Japan has been fighting the
Formosans ever since the treaty
of Shimonosihi gave that per-
perry island into her keeping.
While the Chinese owned it they
were content in the happy-go
lucky way to snatch what cam
phor, tea and sugar they could
from the soil between raids of
the naked savages and to let
well enough alone. The native
Formosan is Malay, closely allied
to the wilder peoples of the Phil
ippines and with some kinship,
with the Japanese themselves.
Travellers tell US that the in
terror of Formosa is tropical
jungle almost impenetrable. One
writer says that the natives lie
low and steal forth into the open
at midnight with their long
knives to cut off the heads of any
Japanese caught mapping.
During the war with Prussia
the japanese left Formosa with
only a small garrison and the
aborigines had pretty much their
own way. But since the war
the japanese war Office has sent
three regiments to the island and
the pursuit of the elusive child
of the forest is now on in earnest.
The Japanese soldiers have start
ed in at the south end of the is
land and propose to go up
through it. cleaning it out and
"pacifying" it, so that when
they are through the native
Formsans will either be good or
be dead-most of them in the
latter state.
The other minor war is in
Korea and it is growing more seri-
GUS. This little war began in
the streets of Seoul last July
when Japanese soldiers shot
down the rebellious Korean troops
who refused to give up their
arms very much to the surprise
of the Japanese, who have al
ways underrated the Korean
spirit. The struggle that started
in Seoul has spread over the pc
ninsula and it looks, as if Korea
would have to be " pacified'
after the manner that is being
followed in Formosa. The
Koreans have hated the japanese
for three hundred years and
they may go far towards fulfill
ing the prophesy made in New
York not long since by Prince
vi that "his countrymen would
continue to resist Japanese alb
sorption until they are all dead. -
So Japan is keeping up the
war spirit, but it is costing her
some money to do so.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
An Amusing Experience of Govern
nent Bank Examiner.

mene sank Examiner
The bank examiners of the treas
ury department have some odd and
amusing experiences during their
investigations of country banks.
At one small and primitive in
stitution in Kentucky an examiner
found a deficiency of $1O0. Of
course an explanation was demand
ed.
The cashier made a brave attempt
to look wise. Finally he took 800
from private money drawer.
'"There, that will fix it" he said.
eHow will you enter that to make
good the balance % asked the ex-
aminer.
The cashier looked bewildered,
but finally said he would not enter
it at all.
"You see," he remarked, "that
drawer I just went into to make the
balance is what we call the outs and
over drawer. Whenever we're out
of balance we go to 'outs and over
to make things right. Then, again,
when the sheet shows more cash
than we ought to have the surplus
goes to the drawer. Funny the city
banks never thought of that
scheme !"-Harper's Weekly.

lining of paper should be placed in
them before packing the celery, or each
bunch should be wrapped separately.
The celery should be nearly dry before
it is placed in the boxes and through
out the entire handling must be kept
as cool as possible.
A common form of crate is here
figured for shipping celery in the
rough. 1t is similar to those used in
Florida and California. In such crates
the celery Is less liable to become in
jured and is more easily handled than
when shipped in loose bunches.-W. r

Suoar Beet Land,

Five years ago the land in certain
valley in Utah was offered for sale at
$50 an acre. Since that time a sugar
factory has been built, and from 5000
to s,OO5 acres of sugar beets are grown
in that valley annually, bringing to the
owners return of $75 and upward per
acre AS a result practically none of
the land is for sale at the present
time. If by force of circumstances a
tract of this land changes hands the
price obtained is S100 or more per acre.

Red Texas Oats,

The strain of the Red Texas oats
which has given the largest yield for
two seasons and which stands third in
order of yield for the four years trial
has been grown at the station for four
years and has seemed to improve
rather than to deteriorate in quality
and yield. Oats are not considered well
adapted for growing in this state. 1t is
the general experience that oats soon
run OUT in Kansas, and farmers con-
slider it necessary to secure new seed
every two or three years. The trials at
the Kansas station, however, indicate
that 1t is not only possible to maintain
the quality and yield of oats, but also
to even improve them by good culture
and by sowing only the best grade ..
seed-A. NJ. Teneyck.

A GOOD DEFINITION.

4 freshman in an Ohio college
was credited recently in a news
paper with a good definition of
an Grafton. AN Grafton" he
wrote, 'consistsof three parts; the
preamble, the body and the peror-
alton. The preamble is what you
say before you begin, the body is
what you have to say, and the
peroration is what you say after
you are through" This defni-
ton, which is probably an in
stance of unconscious wit, will
apply to many a sermon or ad-
dress. n'such a sermon the in
PRODUCTION in what the preacher
says before he begins and the
conclusion is what he says after
he is through. We have heard
such sermons not in Corvallis,
of course, but back in Missouri.
Moral: cut off the Introduction
and the conclusion. Talmage
had one great virtue in all his
public speaking, he never indul-
ged in long introductions, but
struck right out and hit the
nail on the head the very first
sentence. Rule: begin at<the
beginning, and quit at the END.

Care of New China.

China as soon as bought should
be placed in a vessel of cold water,
each piece being separated from an
other by a little hay or torn up
newspaper. Gradually heat the wa
ter until it becomes nearly boiling,
and let it then become cold. Re
move the china from the water and
wipe. This treatment will render
the china much less liable to crack
than if used before being boiled.
