stage road to Crescent City. This
famous road is one OF the oldest on
the coast Over it the gold seekers
tramped from California to the rich
placers on the Rogue. At this end
of the Illinois valley is the old town
of Kerby, dear to the memories Of
many grizzled old prospectors. In
those days the town was known as
Kerbyville, and boasted population
Of several thousands and was typ
ical mining camp. In the days of its
glory Kerbyville was the capital of
the county, when It was a great deal
larger than It is today.
Other trips that may be taken with
rewards to the lover Of the beautiful
in nature are those to the Savage
rapids and down the river to Galice,
which is destined to become the cen
ter of a great mining industry.
Another interesting excursion may
be made into the Williams creek
country. That valley Is fertile spot
where alfalfa fields greet the eye on
every side. 1t is settled by nearly
two hundred happy and prosperous
people.
This trip takes one through the
Applegate valley, where similar con-
ditions exist, leaving the Applegate
at Provolt postoffice. From this
point you travel nearly ten miles
before you come to the forks Of Will
liams creek. This is beautiful
stream and affords excellent fishing.
On either side as you drive are
low-lying mountains and ahead
Grayback looms more than seven
thousand feet In the air, carrying a
crown Of snow nearly every month
in the year And It is on the slopes
Of this mountain where the famous
caves are located, called by Joaquin
Miller the MARBLE Caves of Ore

This immense cavern consists OF
series of chambers connected by
passageways, some of which are
small. making It necessary to crawl
to get into the next chamber.
However, It IS worth ones effort
and labor for some Of the chambers
are dazzlingly beautiful. No one yet
has explored all the rooms in this
great cave, but all who have visited
It are agreed that 1t is we'll worth

SIS S.
PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

It is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed OF
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system,
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S.. s.. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion OF
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you couli 90 no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

EXPLANATORY
Circular On The Scoring Of
Dent Corn
Much To Be Exhibited Here
During Corn Show

Following Is the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment station circular explana-
tory Of the score card for dent corn,
as adopted by the Ohio corn Improve
ment association:
1-Adaptabiity: or first consid.
Grafton In the selection of seed corn.
Indicated by the filling out of ker-
nels, by ripeness and by the appar-
ent utilization or soil and climatic
conditions.
2-Seed Condition.: OF vast i'm
portance, for seed corn that will not
grow is worse than worthless. In
dicated by solidity of the ear and of
kernals on the ear; by brightness of
color, especially of germ, and by
plumpness of tip. While the germ
ination test Is the final arbiter, the
trained eye can determine much.
3-Shape Of Kernels: Kernels
should broaden gradually from tip
to crown, with edges straight so that
they touch the full length, and should
be wedge-shaped without coming to
point. Observed from the edge
they should have uniform thickness.
Thin, shrunken or sharp-pointed ker-
nels are very Objectionable.
4-uniformity and trueness to
type: The ears selected should be
uniform in size, shape, color, inden-
tation and size of kernel. Uniform
ity, or trueness to the type deter
mined upon, is essential to progress
in corn improvement. Uniformity of
kernels is essential to machine plant
ing.
mined by the use of scales after
corn is thoroughly air dry. Many
seasons this is not practical before
January. Where the stand and other
conditions of growth are equal,
weight of ear is a good indication OF
productiveness.
6--Length and Proporton: Length
will vary according to environment.
| No standard can be set by the score
card save that set by maturity and
proportion. circumference Is meas,
ured at one-third the distance from
butt to tip. 1t should not exceed
four-fifths nor fall below three-fourths
the length.
7--color of Grain and Cob: Grain
should be free from mixture. Uncer-
tain tints in cob and grain, and off
coiored kernels are evidence of mix
ing. White corn should have white
cobs and yellow corn should have
red cobs.
s-Butts and Tips: Kernels should
extend in regular rows over the butt
and against the shank. The shank
however, should have sufficient size
to support the ear. Swelled, open
or badly compressed butts, as well as
those having kernels of irregular size,
are Objectionable.
The tips should have kernels of
even size, we'll dented and prefer
ably in regular rows. An understood
ear is more Objectionable with COM
pletely capped tip than with little
bare cob. A sharply tapering tip is
not desirable

Explanatory Notes.

NShScs
1-Adaptability:, Plants must be
adapted to the average soil and sea-
sonal conditions prevailing in the To-
cality. Corn that is too late or too
early In maturing, or that shows
lack of adaptability to soil conditions,
should be cut accordingly.
2-vigor: Indications Of vigor
are seen in the uprightness of stalk;
in well developed stalk, leaf and
ear; in freedom from disease. In
marking for vigor note carefully the
conditions of growth.
3-Helght of Plant and Ear:
Avoid extremes In either direction,
in the case of both plant and ear.
The market condition of an ear is
favored II tip points downward.
4-Uniformity: Uniformity of plant
and ear in manner of growth, height
of plant and ear, ETC., and conformity
to the type determined upon.
5-Weight of Ear: While 1t can
only be estimated at the time selec-
tions are made, yet even then 1t is an
important point to take into cons'd d.

That the automobile is undoubtedly an economy.
That its low cost Of operation surprises even its
advocates.
That the extravaganza of the motor car is volun-
tary and unnecessary.
That its pleasures are within the reach of men
of moderate means.
That it is an indispensable factor in ;ranspora-
ton ard utility,
That it is an implement which, if properly en-
ployed, will increase the earning power of man.
