engineer and fireman of the freight
engine escaped with their lives.
A majority of the killed were men,
who were seated in the smoking car,
which was at the head of the train.
This car received the first impact of
the collision, and the heavy tender
and engine were forced through it,
crushing everything before them.
Many of the injured are in very SER
ious condition and will probably die.
Fortunately fire did not break out in
the ruins and add it's horrors to the

Arrangements Were CompIet-
ed Saturday Afternoon.
LIST OF PLAYERS ENTERED.

The July tennis tournament has been
organized, and ten men have entered
the singles, while eight teams have en-
tered the doubles. The tournament
this month is attracting greater inter
est than the most recent one did, as
the interest manifested in tennis dur
ing the month of June was contagious.
The first match Of the single tourna-
ment was played Saturday afternoon
on the public play grounds between
Herbert and Haynes, the latter win
ming by the scores of 6-3, SO. Haynes
is visiting in Richmond. The manner
in which he welded his racket was
good to see. He has an easy manner
Of playing, nothing sensational, and
his work was highly commented on
by the tennis followers who witnessed
the work. Haynes is expected to be
heard from in the finals.
The men entered in the July tourna-
ment follow:

DISCRIMINATION ALLEG-
Ed BY THE LOCAL FORCE
Think Richmond Should Have
Another Clerk.
POSTOFFICE FORCE SHORT.

Muncie has been granted another
postoffice clerk and it is the opinion
of the local force that Richmond is
being Disseminated against so far as
clerkship appointments are concerned.
The local office Is in need of another
clerk, but it seems that First Assist
ant Postmaster Hitchcock does not
see fit to make an appointment. The
eligible list at the postoffice is also
used up and in case of illness or death
the postoffice would still further be
disabled. With a new appointment the
local office force would be large
enough to handle all business coming
to 1t in a most satisfactory manner.

ToIeration,

If the peculiarities of our feelings
and faculties be the effect of variety
of excitement through a diversity
of organization it should tend to
produce in us mutual forbearance
and liberation. We should perceive
how nearly impossible it is that per-
sons should feel and think exactly
alike upon any subject. We should
not arrogantly pride ourselves upon
our virtues and knowledge nor con-
denim the errors and weakness of
others, since they may depend upon
causes which we can neither pro-
duce nor easily counteract. No one,
judging from his own feelings and
powers, can be aware of the kind or
degree of temptation or terror or
the seeming incapacity to resist
them which may induce others to
deviate.-Abernethy.

Fishes on Land.

Among fishes that are able to live
a considerable time out Of water and
that habitually invade the land is
the climbing perch,'' p which can re-
main for days out of water and
which is even said to climb palm
trees, whence its name. The chop
ping goby," which leaves the sea to
skip along the shore in chase of in
sects and sand haunting mollusks,
has an elbow joint in its fore fin
which thus serves for leg Its gill
cavity is enlarged SO that it can con-
tain considerable air. It is believed,
however, that respiration is aided
by the thin skin Of the tail fin. In
the climbing perch the gill cavity
contains special organ, which
seems to play the part of a lung.
Land crabs possess an analogous or
gan in their gill cavities.

POULTRY WISDOM.
Hints of All Sorts on the Management.
of Feathered Pets.

There is good in every breed
Grow crop of turnips for the. ducks.
Count the chickens that you raise.
not those that you hatch.
Ducks should not be given corn nor
eornmeal during hot weather.
Let the newly hatched chicks run
with the hen as long as possible.
The India runner is the best laying
variety of the duck family.
Whoever undertakes to raise late
chickens must expect to fight lice.
Try hard to raise more of the chicks
you hatch this year than ever before.
Bone fed in some shape is absolutely
necessary if you wish eggs.
Neatsfoot oil is highly recommended
as a remedy for scaly legs in fowls.
Apply with a soft brush. .-.
During hot weather it is safer to
Pun the incubator in cool, dry cellar
than it is above ground.
Vegetables are best fed in a raw
state. Cut them up in a root or bone
cutter and feed in troughs.
During summer there should be but
two regular feeds for the breeding
stock. Give grass or green stuff at
noon.
Watch the droppings of the poultry
Much regarding the health of the fowls
can be told from their condition.
Be careful of the half grown chicks
Many hens wean their young too soon,
and cold rain is sure death to them
If properly grown and cared for, the
June hatched pullets will come into
profit almost as quickly as May
hatched birds.
A goose egg weighing five ounces
will hatch gosling that in three
months will weigh from ten to eleven
pounds.
A good sized yard should be fenced
in for the hen with little chicks until
the latter are able to keep UP with
their mother.
Plant plenty of beets or mangel wur-
zels. There is nothing that the poul-
try like better in the way of green
food.
Eggs that have been kept two or
three weeks produce weak chickens
Better use fresh laid eggs for Matching
Put poles in the top of an open shed
for the turkeys. During warm weather
they should never be required to sleep
in a close roost.
This hot, sultry weather be careful
how you feed your little chicks. II
too much feed be thrown about in
sloppy condition it may sour and cause
trouble in the fOck.-Farm Journal.

CutwormS,

The successful method of fighting the
cutworm is based on the fact that he
IS fond of sweets. The sweet tooth is
as well developed as that of any candy
loving boy.
Into a pint of molasses or any sirup
stir thoroughly a heaping teaspoonful
Of paris green. Mix this with pailful
of bran or other finely ground feed.
Scatter Il little of the mixture in the
hills or along the rows where the
worms are ut work, suggests writer
in Iowa Homestead
They will eat it and be killed if you
have been careful to secure good fresh
paris green.

lnperfect Miikind,

Cows that are imperfectly MIXED,
from whatever cause, either careless
ness or imperfect milking from the
fault of the mixer or from the difficult
task by reason Of the anatomical con-
struction of the udder, are converted
into worthless animals. The milk that
remains in the udder from imperfect
milking is that which is held by the
small pouches or milk vesicles high up
in the bag and will form curd that
will excite Inflammation and destroy
the secreting function of it's mucous
lining or cause the adhesive and COM

About Your Fruit.

The law that makes it neces-
sary tor the county fruit inspector
to destroy infected fruit and to
see that it is not offered tor sale in
the market, is as follows:
Section S. II shall be unlaw-
full for any person, firm, or cor
poration to import or sell any in
fected or diseased fruit of any
kind in the state of Oregon.
Section E. Every person who
packs or prepares for shipment to
any point without the state, etc.
etc. any fruit or fruits. either
fresh, cured or dried, that is in
fected with insects, pests, or dis
eases Injurious to trees, shrubs,
plants, fruit or vegetables, is

or corporation violating any of
tie provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall
be punished by fine of not less
than twenty-five ($25) dollars nor
more than one hundred ($1oo)
dollars.
The above is taken from the
law as passed by the legislature
aud known as H. B. No. 238.
This law should be observed as it

Smoked In Church,

Although the present universal
habit of smoking is of comparative
ly recent date, the use of tobacco
was carried to a great excess when
it was first introduced. Our ances-
tors smoked even in church. All
such offenders were solemnly ex-
communicated by Urban VIII. in
1924 and again by Innocent XII. in
1890, when the practice seems to
have extended to Rome itself. There
was William Breedon, too, vicar of
Thornton, ga profound divine and
absolutely the most polite person
for nativities in that age of whom
the astrologer Lilly says that "when
he had no tobacco he would cut the
bell ropes and smoke them Lon

DAIRY ES.

Every year the silo increases in favor
with the dairyman.
The usual amount of salt for butter
is a half ounce to>the pound. How
ever, this varies according to the taste
of the trade.
A little grain while the COWS are on
pasture will make the herd profitable.
Never fill the churn much over half
full. If the temperature is right, the
butter will come quickly.
Teach the boys to be gentle with the
cows. Stoning and chasing will not do.
Warm cream should not be mixed
with cold cream. Before mixing, cool
the new cream to the same tempera-
ture of that in the cream jar.
A good cure for "lost cud" is half
pail of bran night and morning and a
good pasture all day.
The small yield high fat cows are a
drag on dairying and dairymen.
It is not sufficient that COWS have all
the grain they can eat. The stomach
Of every animal needs something bulky
upon which to work

Before butter is good it must escape
the dangers from musty feed, stag
nant water, foul odors, bacteria in
pans, pals and strainers and overripe
cream.
During warm weather one Of the
greatest difficulties is keeping milk
sweet. Nothing should be put in 1t.

Buyers Complain.

Wool buyers continue to com.
plain that the wool of the Will
lamette Valley gets coarser. This
is due, if true, to the increasing
predoninance of Cotswold blood
in the sheep of this valley and to.
a disregard of coarseness of wool
by many of the Cotswold breed
ers. The more prominent Cots
void breeders of the valley have
bred so as to avoid excessive
coarseness, but other have paid no.
attention to this, and while the
climatic and food conditions of
the valley give wool fire luster
they seem to tend to coarseness
of fiber.
The Lincolps are now getting
quite a foothold in the Willamette
Valley, and as their wool is not
as coarse as that OF the Cotswolds,
their growing popularity may in
time have the effect OF ma king the
average valley wool some finer
than it BOW is. The Rambouil-
lets, which are now coming III to
some extent, will of course reduce
greatly the coarseness OF the wool
in ali hocks into which their blood
enters. The Cotswolds have
gained their popularity because
they have proved so well adapted
to the climatic conditions of the
valley and are at the same time
pretty good mutton sheep and
heavy yielders of wool.-Agricul-

Selecting EGGS For Matching.

One should be as careful in selecting
eggs for Matching as in selecting par
ent stock. Choose medium to large
eggs, as nearly perfect in shape and
color as possible. Uniformly colored
eggs look much better than a mixed
lot and will usually sell better. Some
select the short, round eggs, believing
these will produce large percentage
Of pullets. but the shape of the eggs
has nothing to do with the sex of the
chick. Continuous selection of the
roundest eggs will gradually produce n
strain of hens that will lay round eggs
of imperfect shape

HIGH QUALITY BITTER.
some Hints For IT. Rutsermaker by an
Ohio DaneYsNoman

Bome Hirts For tn Buttermaker by an
Ohio Danywoman.
One may delay the doing of many
things without loss, but to put of
churning when the cream is ripe is not
In the list, writes an Ohio dairywoman
in American Agrieulturist. The mis-
take must not be made of thinking
that butter is made by churning. 1t is
being made from the time the milk is
drawn until it is churned. No amount
Of doctoring will cure poor quality of
butter 1t is of the utmost Importance
that the churn be Scrupulously clean
and sweet smelling before using. In
order to have it so it must be washed
Immediately after using, scalded and
set where it will be thoroughly aired
and dried. Rinsfng in Imewater oc-
casionally is of benefit and will re-
move the musty odors which sometimes
Iinger around cl1urns. The putting of
cold water into the churn after cleans
ing, as practiced by some dai1ymen, is
not to be recommended, as very un-
pleasant odor will be developed in a
day or two, especially if the weather is
warm.
After scalding the churn preparatory
to using it must be rinsed in cold wa
ter or else a woody smell will be i'm
parted to the cream. All wooden uten-
siIs used in dairy work should be wash
ed in tepid water first and afterward
scalded, rinsed and dried. The dish
cloth must never be used in dairy
work. If a cloth is ever necessary it
must be for that one use. Wooden
ware can be cleansed more rapidly.
neatly and satisfactorily with the aid
of brush. Either rice straw or Il briStle
brush should be kept for this purpose
alone.
We prefer to salt butter after it is
removed from the churn rather than
brine salt it. We salt at the rate of
one and one-half ounces salt per pound
and think it adds to the keeping quail
ties of the butter better than the ounce
to the pound method. Patrons find no
fault with our butter so prepared. We
work lightly, just enough to incorpo-
rate the salt evenly without mashing
and smearing it. We press and touch
it lightly and daintily, shape it or cut
it into any desired form and pack it
ready for market. The sooner it is de-
livered the better.
The delicate aroma which all we'll
made butter has is very evanescent,
and when made in rolls OF packages
exposure to the air soon dissipates this
delicate favor. Cold storage does not
help to retain this favor. Packing in
lars so as to exclude the air is the
only way to retain it. The market
value of butter depends upon its flavor
more than any other quality. Appear
ance should be given due prominence,
but favor is paramount

manufacture of sugar. The quantity
Of injurious nitrogen found in the root
varied with the kind of seed. The use
Of a single heterogeneous fertilizer,
whether in the form of nitrate OF am
monia, increased the quantity Of nj
trogen in the beet, but the use Of barn
yard manure up to about twenty-seven
tons per acre under conditions of a

may be largely reduced by the addition
