HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If pecan nuts are soaked over night
in water when cracked the kernels
will come out whole.
Sun blinds and shades should be un-
rolled and examined to see if they re-
quire mending or cleaning. The best
way to mend a tear Is to coaguline a
piece of the same material on at the
back.
A garment made of almost any ma
terial may be creamed with tea, Make
the tea strong and soak the garment
will in it. Iron the garment before
it dries and the color will be a pretty
cream. The tea does not streak the
goods as coffee does and is a prettier
color and less expensive than the
creaming substance that is bought.
After cooky dough has been pre-
pared instead of using cutter in the
old way turn out part of the dough at
time on bread board and with the
hand roll long round roll about five
inches thick. Then with sharp knife
cut off in small pieces about one-half
inch thick; place in baking pan and
give plenty of room to swell or spread.
Will bake in perfect shape and is
much quicker.

Training Day Gingerbread.

Use one-half pint of buttermilk, one
half pint of golden molasses, one-half
pint of butter, two teaspoons each of
soda and ginger and one OF salt. Melt
butter, molasses, ginger and salt togeth-
er; add the milk in which the soda has
been dissolved. Thoroughly mix these
ingredients. Now add enough flour
to make thin batter. Into this beat
thoroughly and one at time four
eggs. Add enough -four to make a
firm dough. Roll in sheets three
fourths of an inch thick; put into light
ly Toured tin, cut into squares three
by four inches and bake in a moderate
oven. Good for school lunches.

IN THE HOME.

An open fire is certainly happy
feature in 1t.
Chairs that can be sat upon are a
more necessary essential than some
housewives think
In the living room there must be a
softly shaded light placed low for read
ing and sewing.
Readable books and magazines lying
around loose are one of the important
things.
A carpet that can be walked on by
the family is much better than one
preserved for the sacred feet of stran-
gers.
Stilted suits" of furniture are a
good thing to avoid; also loud papers
and highly colored pictures.
AS to tobacco smoke and dust-well,
there have been homes with them and
places without them that utterly failed
to be homes.
Cheerfulness and love and mutual
accommodation as to tastes go further
to make real home than over-zealous
spotlessness and everlasting over
sight.

NOTES ON PLANTING CORN.
. Crop That Repays Careful Manas-
ing and Attention.

A few words about the preparation
OF the soil, and the securing of good
stands of corn by mechanical means,
is never amiss, and the points too
late for this year can be kept for an
other season. II we have a sod field
to break We should plow it as early as
possible, so as to secure a good me-
chanical condition of the soil. By
: plowing early we get the benefits of
the late freezes, spring rains, sun and
winds, which settle and rot the soil
and save us much labor. Heavy rains
In May have the same effect, and the
yield on sod land is usually much i'm
proved thereby. If We must plow late,

Loss in Flooded Fields,

During the recent heavy rains we
have noted the large loss of fertility
through flooding of fields. In one large
field where the water was standing
some inches deep, hundreds of piles
of manure were to be seen. The
water in the field had slight current,
which was carrying off the manure
from the piles and was also carrying
off other fertility washed out Of the
plowed soil. Lack of proper outlet
for the water was the cause Of this
great waste.

A Dry Gully Fence.

pass from one field to another through
the dry gully. 1t is pretty hard to run
a fence across small stream as the
first heavy rain Is liable to carry it
away. Here, says the Farmer, Is a
suggestion for overcoming this diff
ficulty. BY hanging a frame from two
supports placed on either bank of the
gully swinging gate can soon be
made that will turn stock When the
gully Is dry the gate effectually closes
the opening while in times of fresh
cts it swings out with the increasing
volume of water. The frame can be
spiked together in a very short time,
although it may be framed together II
more elaborate gate Is desired By
placing the rails close together near
the bottom such gate can be made to
turn any kind of stock.

FENCING DRY GULLIES.
How Barrier Can Be Put Up That
Will Not Wash Away.

AS the system of grain farming
changes to one of general farming
including stock, the subject of fenc-
ing is naturally very important one
With the various fencing now manu-
factured to be used where wood is
scarce, or in the timber sections
where material for building post-and
rail fences is plentiful, the matter of
constructing suitable fences for turn
ing stock is comparatively simple. In
either case, however, there are al
ways gullies to be crossed in which
there is running water part Of the
year but in the summer they are COM

the disk harrow, roller, drag, ETC., will
assist us in making an ideal seed bed
for the corn. A good drag levels up
the many small inequalities of the sur
face and makes corn planting much
more satisfactory. Where a large acre
age is to be planted, replanting and
thinning are out of the question;
wherefore we must plant just the right
number Of live, vigorous grains to
each hill or in the drill To secure
Il this condition the seed corn must be
h graded before or after shelling, and
then the planter adjusted to suit that

some windmills and corn graders on
the market that will grade the seed
corn very we'll, but careful man can
sort the ears so that those having
grains Of similar size or shape may
be shelled together. This is important,
for two small grains may be dropped
together when a plate is used with
holes large enough to pass the larger
grains On the other hand very large
Grains may cause few misses Plant
ers with plates having circular holes
ly. but two simmer grains may get
crowded into the same holes that bare
ly accommodate the single grain. See
Figs. 1-2. However, If We plant but
few acres of corn, and can spare the
extra time required, planting the corn
thickly and thinning out to an even
stand will give very satisfactory re-
suits. With tool such as Is shown
in Figs. 3-4, thinning is not a laborious
task, and the work may be performed
swiftly and easily. Fig 8 is top view
and Fig. is side view. This tool
should be made of steel about III inch
wide and be fitted to a handle about
four feet long The inside of the "
shaped edge should be kept sharp.
Depth of planting, find, is an i'm
portant factor in securing good

In the Rural New Yorker. From one

SALOON CASE UNSETTLED.
Time OF Court Taken Up With Other
Matters-Decision Tomorrow.

With but one day now remaining
before the first of July. Judge Bean
has not yet passed upon the merits OF
the Nolte case. The time in circuit
court has been taken continuously
with the Ferguson-St. Dennis case dur
in the past three days and apparent
ly the case will not be finished until
this evening, II then.
In all probability the Nolte case will
be disposed of tomorrow. However,
comparatively little interest is taken
in the same, because the same argu-
ments that were made here were also
made to Judge Bean at Heppner when
the temporary restraining order was
asked for. Inasmuch as he refused to
grant the first request it is considered
improbable that he will accede to the
saloonmen's wishes now.
In the st. Dennis case much of the
time today has been taken up with
arguments on motions. Three mo-
tions have been made in behalf of the

were that the court direct a vedict in
favor of that side. but were overruled.

CLOSE CALL FOR
AUTO SMASH UP
GIRL CHAUFFEUR
TURNS WRONG WAY.
W. p. Temple With Presence Of Mind,
Sends His Big Machine Crashing
Through Fence and Into Joe Tall
mans Yard in Time TO Prevent
Seeming Certain Fatal Accident
No One Hurt.

There was a narrowing escape from
a head-on automobile collision in this
city yesterday afternoon and that seri-
Gus results did not occur is due TO the
fact that W. P. Temple ran his ma
chine into Joe Tallman's yard in order
10 miss the other machine.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Temple was driving east along
Water street and he was just turning
the Tallman orner when he met an
other auto travelling west on Lewis
street. This auto contained a party
OF young people and was being driven
by Miss Kinman.
The. machine came down Lewis
street at a fast clip and at the corner
the young lady made the mistake OF
turning to the left instead of to the
right. Temple had turned TO the right
to pass the oncoming auto, but when
he saw the other machine swerve out
in the same direction he could readily
see that there would be trouble un-
less he acted quickly. Turning his
own auto farther to the right ne made
a dash for the Tallman yard and sue
ceeded in escaping the other auto.
However, he crashed into the lawn
with such force that he broke down
two fence posts for Mr. Tallman and
the auto wheels went deep into the
soft earth of the lawn.
Aside from the damage to the Tall
man property the Temple>auto was al
so damaged to some extent. But none
of the people in either party received
any injuries, though they were all
badly frightened.
The auto being driven by Miss Kin
man was the Breeding car and aside
from Miss Kinman contained two
other ladies and young man. AT

next Monday and an equal number
will also be started in the vicinity OF
Pilot Rock. Among those to start In
the northwest part of the county are
Hans Lorenzen, Henry Lorenzen, An
dy Peebler and others, while ]. A
Gurdarian, James Agee, Alvin Wade
and Jerome Stonebreaker will start In
the south part of the county.
Grain sacks have been taken ou'
this week by most of these farmers
and everything is in readiness for the
beginning of active operations nex'
Monday morning.
In both of these localities farmers
say that the wheat is better than they
had expected to find 1t after the long
dry spell OF weather and good, aver

with stealing a rig from the Mcbride

Several days ago District Attorney
Phelps started to file an information
against Ireland but he found that
Governor Chamberlain had already
proclaimed the new law in force. Con-
sequently Ireland must wait until
fall when his case will be laid before
grand jury. He is now in Jail and
will have served out a lengthy sem
tence before he can be tried.
As a result of the change in the law
the wheels of justice will be made
much slower and there is danger that
the present county Jail may not be
waiting for grand juries.
In this county as in other large
counties, there are dozens OF cases an
nually wherein translents are arrest

Often the cases are "cinches" and in
the past speedy justice has been Sc
cured through the district attorneys

majority of instances the prisoners
would then plead guilty and receive
their sentences.
