Others besides multi-millionaires
can now eat the fruit of the Oregon
hen.
Positive promises are made that
Eugene and Portland, the two cities
at the extremes of the Willamette
Valley, are to be connected by troll
ey just as soon as men and money
can do the work.
Seven stalwart young Swedes ar
rived in Portland last Thursday, di-
rect from their far-Northern home.
They all came from one villege, and
in a great many cases their sweet
hearts had preceded them. A
prominent society belle of this city
was heard to say that she wished
she was a Swede, that they had
lot more fun than she and her
friends.
The liberal state appropriations
for the Alaska Yukon Pacific ex-
position have in several instances
been increased and Oregon has add
ee an additional amount of $25, 900
to her first appropriations of 500,
600. The interest among the var
ious counties Of Washington, Ore
gon and California has been stimu-
lated, and a number of individual
exhibits will he made by counties
whose allotments for exploitation
purposes range from $1,000 to $40,
900.
The work required successfully to
accomplish a great fair, such as the
Alaska -Yukon-Pacific Exposition,
is enormous and at no previous
time has the feat been accomplish
ed within the time set for the
throwing open of the gates to the
public. When it was decided to
hold the present exposition and the
fist funds subscribed for the under
taking, it was arranged that the
opening would be held on June 1,
1909. Now, three months before
that day, there remains much less
than five per cent of work to be
finished and this is beiEg carried on
at rate which will win completion
at date earlier than was expected.
The following beautiful sentiment
is from the pen of Senator Bob
Taylor of Tennessee: II would
rather fill my purse with money
and keep its gates ajar to my happy
girls while yet they linger under
my roof than to clutch it with a
miser's hand until all the harp
strings of youth are broken and all
its music forever fled. / would
rather spend my last rnicklo for a
bag of striped marbles to gladden.

THE ORANGE SCALE.

The California orange grower has
lately had to cope with one Of the
most serious pests which have troubled
him-the orange scale. which has ap-
peared in several colors and is anal
ogous to the San Jose scale. Usual
methods of spraying with bordeaux
or lime-sulphur solutions seem to be
ineffective. The method at present
followed Is to cover the trees with a
tight canvas and give thorough fumi-
cation with hydrocyanic acid gas. one
of the most deadly volatile poisons
known. which is sure death to all
forms Of animal or bacterial life with
which It comes in contact. The proc
ess is tedious and expensive one, as
It takes some time to treat each tree,
but It is the only way out for those
who hope to produce an orange crop
which will pass muster at the pack
ting house.

CORN AND CHOLERA.

Hog raisers the country over are put
ting two and two together in the mat
ter Of excessively high prices Of corn
and absence Of hog cholera and draw
ing some deductions that ought to be
Of value for good many years to
come along the line Of the connection
between the health Of the hog and the
food ration which it is given. It has
been observed during the past eight
cen months-an interval which has
seen scant feeding Of corn owing to
high price-that there has been an al
most total absence Of the swine plague
In sections where corn has constituted
the chief feeding and fattening ration.
The net result Of this situation has
meant an enormous saving to hog
raisers. and this whether the connec-
ton between feed and animal health is
as close as held by some or not
There is surely enough In the theory to
make careful study and comparisons
Of feeding conditions IN different sea-
sons worth while. 1t has been a mat
ter Of observation with good many
that the worst outbreaks of cholera
have usually followed on the heels Of
an inordinate stuf1ng Of young pigs
with green and immature corn. the
plague finding fertile soil for develop
ment for months after in droves of
hogs whose health had been weakened
as result of this irrational method of
feeding. II it turns out. therefore.
that the feeder can Just as well sell a
part Of his corn and at the same time
save his hogs. it would seem clearly in
his interest to do SO.

Of an orchard may be counted upon
as well nigh unproductive. To over
come this some grow q cover crop In
sections where the winters are cold,
which, being a secondary considera-
ton. can be counted on for but slight
return. In the west. where the winters
are milder. Strawberries are grown
among the trees and not only serve
this purpose where needed. but give
generous return for the use Of the
land. In the Hood river valley. famed

net the owners all the way from $500
to 500 per acre. At the end Of Eve
years the trees come into bearing.
when the numbers of rows may be
decreased or the plants entirely re-
moved. Strawberries might well be
grown thus In even much colder Sec
tons. as the plants and covering re-
Quired to protect them would catch as
much snow as would be needed to pro-
tect the roots of the trees.

ABOUT CEMENT TILE.

It is only justice and fairness to
those contemplating the drainage Of
wet land to speak another word Of
warning touching the use of cement
tiles in the manufacture Of which the
proper kind Of clean. sharp sand has
not been used or which do not con-
tain q sufficient per cent Of cement to
give them strength and durability.
Within a fortnight we have heard one
who is interested in a square deal for
the user of tiles say that short time
since he saw cement tiles of this shod-
dy description taken from the ditch all
gone to pieces which were laid but
eighteen months ago. The worst fea-
ture about the matter is that one who
- not acquainted with cement tiles
cannot tell at glance whether they
are properly made or not, while the
putting Of them in the ground to fnd
out Is altogether too expensive an ex-
pertinent for the average man to mon
key with. In view Of this situation it
follows that the only safeguard that
one can have in purchasing cement tiles
IL the character and experience of the
man who has made and offers them for
sale. Makers Of clay tiles concede that
cement tiles. properly made, are as
good as clay tiles, and this Is quite
concession for a competitor to make,
but no such authority as this need be
cited to prove that poor cement tiles
are not worth q continental-in fact.

An eleven acre orchard located In the
Yakima valley, in south central Wash
ington. changed hands recently at
$4,000. the buildings on the place hav-
ing value of about $9.OO0. This
meant that the orchard proper. which
comprised about ten acres set In Eve
year-old trees was valued at $2.7O0 an
acre. The setting Of SO high a price
on fruit ranches of this kind is due to
the fact that from eight years Of age
and up orchards in this section fire.
quently give net return of from $500
to $1,000 per acre. 1t is this produc-
tive capacity which makes raw sage
brush land we'll located with water
available worth all the way from $500
to $1,000 per acre. Land In the corn
and small grain belt is roughly con-
sidered worth per acre six times its
annual net productive capacity. On
the basis Of this ratio It will easily
be seen why western fruit ranches are
held so valuable.
