Scours in pigs may be caused by
many different things. Things which
do not affect the sows may cause
scours in pigs. Any sudden or radical
change in feed. the feeding of kitchen

dirty feed troughs. sour milk from
creameries and cheese factories or the
sow catching cold are among the
causes of scours in pigs.

AT REST.

They were passing through a graveyard
Mid the monuments so white
And were reading the inscriptions
AS they glanced from left to right
And they stopped beside a green grave
Where were flowers of the best
And read beneath a woman's name
The simple words "At Rest"
"'Twas time that Mary had a rest,'
Said one who stopped to weep.
"She never had chance to rest
Nor got a good nights sleep.
with her husband and her babies
And the house to keep Alright,
Why, the poor soul had no moment
For her comfort day or night.
Must feel good to her to rest once
After all those weary years
With their burdens and their labors
And their troubles and their tears.
Lovely flowers they have placed there,
At her foot and at her head
What pity that they waited
Until Mary dear was dead!'

Sunday School Baseball Game.

The baseball game between the
Congregational and Christian Sunday
school teams Wednesday evening
promises to be a very interesting.
game. The team of the Christian
Sunday school has played two games
at the beginning of the series, win
ming both of them, and if they can
win this one they will remain in the
1000 per cent class, which they are
going to make strong effort to do.
In that event the other three teams
will all have the same standing, each
having won one game and lost two.
If the Congregationals carry off the
victory they will tie with the Chris
tians for first place, each with 667
per cent, and the Baptists and Meth
odists will tie for second place, each
with 333 per cent. Both teams that
the Christians defeated have been
strengthened since, and it remains to
be seen whether the Christians have
done likewise and whether they will
be able to maintain the nice lead
they took at the. opening of the sea-
son. On account of the seeming i'm
possibility of getting the games
started at 6:15 it has been decided to
call this game promptly at $50, and
all players please take notice and be
on time.

Portland Market.

Portland, July Receipts for the
week have been: Cattle 1,027,
calves IA, hogs 3,7S4, sheep 5,372,
horses 21.
Cattle market steady to lower this
week Killers have not been in the
market for any large supply of beef
and bidding was consequently very
slow. Prime grass steers in car lots
are selling around SC. Medium grade
steers 25c to 55Oc lower, Butcher
cattle have been steady to weaker.
Prime cows $3.50 to $6.75. choice
bulls at $3.50 to Sc, calves $3.50 to
50 are price tops on various classes.
This weeks hog market has been
a very strong affair. Prices reached
1915 Wednesday, but the market
weakened 10c to 15c at the close,
the top being &c. Liquidation has
been comparatively liberal.
Trade in the sheep house slowed
up considerably this week, due to the
poor demand for mutton. The outlet
is not very broad and any size re-
ceipts clog it. Best yearlings $3.50
to $4.75, old wethers $4.25 to $3.50
and prime selling ewes 1915 to S4.25
were extreme top bids. The lamb
market is about steady, with a shade
better demand than for sheep. Choice
stock sold at $3.50 to $6.75.

Fisherman and Macleay Interests Do
Not Agree.

Gold Beach, Oregon, June 25.-
Gus Barrow, a fisherman on Rogue
river, was held to the grand jury by
Justice Miller, under $3.50 bonds, for
cutting rope on a set net belonging
to R. l.. Macleay. 1t developed at
the hearing that the set net was
across the channel of the river, and
that the Roderick Macleay interests
had another set net within 100 feet
of the one cut, in violation of the
law recently passed, opening Rogue
river to commercial fishing.
Considerable feeling is being devel-
oped here over the high-handed
methods pursued by the Macleay peo-
pie in trying to keep all other fish
ermen off the river, Notwithstanding
Macleays promises to the people here
last winter that if the river was
opened to fishing all would have
equal opportunities to fish.

fuses to act in the matter.

Great Success.
Portland, July 10.-During the
past week mammoth gathering, un-
der the auspices of the National Re-

series of meetings in the stadium of
the Multnomah Athletic Club. At
these meetings noted speakers from
all parts of the world have been

ers of Christian thought and action.
Among the foreign countries repre-
sented at the conference are: Nor
