Experiments which have been con-
Quoted show that when cheese is sold
from the farm or milk from which
cheese is made much larger amount
OF fertility Is taken from the soil
than in the case of butter or cream.
This IS TO quite an extent responsible
for the fertility and productivity OF
those farms on which buttermaklng Is
the chief occupation.

a reader Of these notes who has had
good opportunity TO note the effects OF
clover growing on his own farm told
the writer recently that hereafter he
should never sow an acre OF oats with
out adding n moderate amount OF
clover seed. His plan might be fol-
lowed with profit by a good many OF
his fellows

The prevailing high prices of feed
and grain render itjmperative that the
owner of n dairy herd should spot the
loafers and weed out without ceremony
those individuals that are barely pay
ing their keep or constitute n positive
source OF loss. 1t is farce to feed
twenty cent corn to these loafers and
n still more serious matter to feed that
which Is worth 90 cents.

So long as the average yield of corn
per acre for the whole country re-
mains in the neighborhood of twenty
six or twenty-seven bushels, and nu-
merous instances are on record where
enterprising farmers have secured a
yield OF from so to 120 bushels per
acre, 1t will be entirely in place to
continue talking and writing about
the possibilities OF agriculture in the
United States. Had the average yield
per acre been twice what 1t was (2G.2
busheis), or 524 bushels-a moderate
yield-the total corn production would
have been 5,2S5,374 600 bushels, while

CITY NOT
COMPANY
MAY GRADE

There is possibility that the
grade on Broadway and High streets
will be raised TO the level of the
new oregon railroad company's track
In spite of the city's original inten-
tion to compel the company to con-
form to the city's grade. Yester-
day Mayor Rodgers and Engineer
Galvani OF the railroad company, to-
gether with most OF the members OF
the city council went over the ground
and looked carefully into the matter.
Mayor Rodgers stated that II the
grade was changed IL would necessi-
tate very great expense. There Is
nothing In the law or the franchise
that will compel the railroad COM
pany 10 bear any part of the expen-
ses, but IL volunteered some time
ago TO pay part OF the costs II the
city would raise the grade on these
two streets.
City Engineer Perrott has also In
ves,igated the matter, and Is ready
10 make his report Engineer Ca
vani will make his report 10 the
council tomorrow evening.

Hist! BURIED Treasure


A mysterious stranger, abont
whom nothing has as yet been learn
ed. appeared in this city yesterday
and excited considerable interest
among the curious. The man went
down to the river front at the foot
of Center street and began digging
In lady's flower bed. refusing to
give any rational reason for his ac-
tions. Among the crowd that had
gathered to watch the performance
there were some who remembered
the cd story of treasure that was
buried years ago near this spot. and
II was not long until the story was
spread about town that the stranger
was one of the nortorious outlaws OF
old who had returned to dig up his
long-buried loot. The police so far
have paid no attention 20 the mat
