The annual meeting of the North
west Fruitgrowers' Association will
be held in Portland, Ore, the first
days of September, in connection with
the annual meeting of the Oregon
State Horticultural Society. Profess
or e. r. Lake, of the Oregon State
Board of Horticulture, is in charge
of the program and says:
Three days will be given up to the
discussion of the commercial aspect
of horticulture. The topics will relate
to the packing, shipping and market
ing of fruit, and to the development
of outside markets, such as the ORR
ent. We have talked too much i'm
provement of stock alone, in the past,
and now is the time to talk of i'm
provement and also of the commercial
side. Science will get it's share of at
tention, but business methods will be
spoken about. We shall have the fin
est exhibit of winter apples and pears
ever seen in the Northwest, and we
shall also have some of the best lee
lures ever heard at convention OF

Shut the fowls up in a darkened
place with just enough light for them
to see to eat, and feed on cornmeal,
ground oats, cracked wheat and shorts,
which may be mixed in equal proper
tons and scalded. Feed as often dur
ing the day as they will eat up the
food clean. That is to say, stuff them.
rake light and feed again just be-
fore your bedtime, and as early in
the morning as possible. Supply
them with grit and water and keep
the premises clean. Half dozen
fowls together will fatten more quick
ly than large number, as they will
not pine for company. Cooked pota-
toes, rice, cornbread cracked corn and
whole wheat may also be fed. Give
no green stuffs, as it is too filling and
will do no good. Fowls crowded this
way should be in fine condition in
two weeks. Shut up longer they are
likely to begin to NOPE and will go
back rather than increase in weight.

A Reliable Remedy for the
Whiskey and Beer Habit

Very few men become drunkards because
they like liquor. 1t is frequently the mod :
crate drlnker, who before he realizes his
condition, has become drunkard. The
nervous system, having become accustomed
to stimulants, is unable to do the same
amount or quality of work without liquor,
hence the victim drinks more and more.
This is a state of disease, and should be
treated by Orrine. 1t destroys the desire
for liquor. SO that tho drink is not missed.
There is no loss of time or detention from
work when 1t is used.
Orrine is prepared, in two forms-No. i.
