railroad company until recently. Az
one time the railroad engineers con
templated sinking the track all the
way from Mr.. Twombly's arch to be
yond Normandie park-now they pro-
pose to carry the track over the public
road at Convent and the Punch Bowl
and under at Normandie park. This
change of plan has led to considerable
misunderstanding and left some prob
lens not yet solved. There are three
private rights of way over the tracks
within a few hundred feet of Norman
die park, and each demands a separate
and private bridge. The main diff
Guilty seems to be that there are so
many interests involved and so many
have plans they seem to think the
railroad should accept.
The money for the arch is assured if
the opposition can be placated or over
come and some way found to harmon
ize the various interests involved.
The erection of this arch would be a
long stride in the progress toward
identifying Morristown, as well as do

We give above an elevation Of the
proposed arch bridge over the railroad
crossing at Normandie park. This
crossing is an unusually dangerous
one and only comparatively recently
protected by gates, and nutwithstand-
ing such protection there has been
one fatal accident and several narrow
escapes since the installation OF the
gates. a year or so ago a man and
team were closed in the gates and the
man saved himself only by forcibly
driving through the gates and break
ing them down. The gateman has
two pairs of gates to look after and is
thus handicapped by a double duty.
The approaching trains are hidden by
a deep cut on the west and sharp
curve on the east, and any one driv-
ing or walking can only see the train
from the track itself.
The sinking of the railroad track
and abolishing of this crossing mas
been discussed for over twenty years,
but never seriously taken up by the

Buel took the round trip well assisted
by numerous errors, and in the eighth
when Mccoy, similarly aided scored.
In batting the High school then
picked up a bit and had couple of

some clever pitching, in fact "Sid"

but the aid of the rest OF the team
was rather weakened. The Morris

his poor aim. In making a feet first

pushed his feet into Buel's face, but
the latter soon recovered and took his
place. Lindsey is out a pair Of trou-

incubation Of Clover.

Clovers do not always grow as read
lily or as vigorously as might be eX-
pected from the richness of the soil. In
recent years 1t has been discovered
by scientists that the growth OF plants
of this class (cloyers, peas and beans)
is dependent to some extent ON the
presence of small nodules or punches
on the roots. These nodules contain
bacteria which In some mysterious way
assist the roots in taking up food from
the soil. If these bacteria are not
present in the soil the clovers will be
likely to make poor growth-indeed,
alfalfa may not make any growth. If
the proper kind Of bacteria are sup
piled and the inoculation OF soil and
root is successful the plants will show
extra vitality.
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural College for
the past four years, with directions
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1909-08-06

for applying to the fields that are be-
Ing seeded with clover. Last season
BOO farmers reported that their alfalfa
crops had been. benefited by the appli-
cation while 40 reported that there
was no gain. With alsike clover the
reports were equally favorable over
Sc per cent Of the experiments finding
that the culture had improved the
crop. With red clover the results were
not so favorable, only 55 per cent hav-
Ing noted a gain. Peas and beans
showed still less benefit from the ap-
plication. AS the work is still in its
infancy it is probable that better re-
suits will be obtained as the methods
Of application are better understood.
The illustration shows the comparative
growths of inoculated and uninoculated
alfalfa plants. In bulletin just is
sued it is stated that the cultures will
again be distributed for 1909 at price
Of 25 cents for each bottle containing
enough for 60 pounds Of seed.-Mon-

EARLY Flowing.

The value of early blowing as a
means of destroying weeds, especially
rag weed, wild oats, artichokes, ETC., is
not appreciated fully by farmers. Sim
liar weeds grow in most discouraging
manner, especially ON low, moist land
during the summer, and in many in,
stances take possession of the fields
They will appear on the scene next
year, in multiplied numbers. If an eff
fort Is not made to destroy them this
summer, which can best be done by
early plowing.
The plow should be started in these
weedy patches just as soon as the fields
are cleared. Rag weeds are rank
growing soil robbers which should not
be permitted to ripen seed ON any
farm, but are now seen In corn fields
pastures and small grains in many sec
tions. They are special pest ON some
farms where careless methods of han
ding the soil have been employed. II
such fields are plowed as early as pos
sible the plants will be prevented from
going to seed. Kingheads are now II
possession of some very productive
fields, and we believe this is due tt
spring plowing or no plowing, as sucf
fields are often disked instead OF
nlowed.

The Breath.

The breath of healthy person has
no odor. This is equivalent to saying
that no one whose breath has habitual-
ly disagreeable odor Is In absolute
health. Somewhere there is trouble,
the presence Of which, although not al
ways the location of 1t, is betrayed by
the expired air.
A person with bad breath Is not al
ways aware of his misfortune, or per-
haps one should say the misfortune of
his friends, and 1t is kindness and a
duty on the part Of his family to tell
him. The trouble can almost always
be bettered, If not entirely removed,
and it Is the duty Of one so afflicted
to place himself in the physicians
hands for care.
The cause of bad breath is often
evident, but sometimes very careful
examination, weighing and rejecting
one by one the different possibilities,
is necessary before The seat Of the trou-
BILE can be determined. Local troubles
must be looked for and corrected Ca
tarrh of the nasal passages, or of one
or more of the cavities in the bones
Of the face communicating with the
nose, may cause very foul breath;
this can be relieved In many cases by
snuffing some antiseptic fiuid-well dl-
luted, for the nasal mucous membrane
is sensitive-through each nostril sew
eral times day. The nasal douche, 81
often recommended, should be used only
Under the direction of physician.
The mouth is often the place Of orr
gin of the odor Decayed teeth, or
the decomposition of food particles al
lowed to remain between the teeth, or
receding gums with suppuration round
the edges of the teeth, may one or all
affect the breath unpleasantly. The
regular use of the toothbrush with an
antlseptic mouth wash will usually
remedy this. There may be an accumu-
lation of "fur" at the back of the mouth,
which gives an odor to the breath |;

Trouble In any part Of the digestive
tract is very likely to declare Itself in
the breath. Constipation, especially, Is
so betrayed. 1t is well known that
some foods, onions, for example, will
Gcent the breath, but it is not so gener-
aily appreciated that the eating of a
large amount Of meat will often give a
Teculiarly disagreeable quality to the
breath The emotions nay have their
effect, too, and the ill-tempered person
or the worrier is thus an offeuse In
more ways than one.
There is seldom any excuse for per-
manent bad breath, for the physician
can almost always discover the cause

ages to Win Wealthy widow.
A story which reads like chapter
from romance Of the middle ages Is
being published by the local press,
New York Times Moscow letter says.
rhe wealthy and beautiful young Bar
,ness Urusoff, widow Of distinguished
Russian government official, took up
her residence in Moscow about eighteen
months ago and lived an extremely Sc
GUIDED life. Her beauty, however, at
|tracted attention wherever she was
seen, whether in the streets or when
riding or at the theater
All the young cavaliers Of Moscow
were hopelessly In love with her. The
baroness, however, rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
her, and continued to live in perfect Sc
cluslon, attended only by an elderly
relative. Some months ago a young
peasant girl began to visit the residence
Of the baroness, offering the servants
cheap articles for sale. Once she
brought some old Russian porcelain,
which she offered the baroness. Subse-
quently the baroness used to buy differ
ent articles from the peasant girl, who
was intelligent, had good manners and
considerable conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her serv-
Ice as lady's maid. The peasant girl
agreed and became the baroness maid
She discharged her duties to perfection
for fortnight, and then revealed "her-
SELF as young Russian nobleman
named Maximoff, who, taking advan-
tage of his fair hair and complexion,
had masqueraded as a domestic to
break down the barriers with which
the beautiful baroness had surrounded
herself.
Baroness Urusoff was so much i'm
pressed by the extraordinary persever-
ance which the young nobleman had
revealed in coming month after month
as a peasant giri, then working as a
domestic to gain her favor, that she
became engaged to him and the mar
riage took place week or so ago. The
story has just become known in society
circles In Moscow.

Balancing Ration.

When one has corn, corn fodder, en-
silage and clover hay, 1t is considered
the best practice for one to procure a
food rich in protein, such as bran, cot
ton-seed meal or linseed meal, with
which to balance the ration. If one
mixes bran, corn and cotton-seed meal
in the proportion Of 5 parts bran, 8
parts cornmeal, 2 parts cotton-seed
meal, and feeds 10 pounds of the mix
ture each day, with 80 pounds of en-
silage and 10 pounds of clover hay. he
will get very good results. Molasses Is
ordinarily fed by sprinkling over the
hay or ensilage.-Country Gentleman.
