Removing Scale Disease from
Calves Eyes and Nose.

Calves Eyes and Noses
In response to an inquiry from Bend,
DR.. B. w. Hollis, veterinarian of the
Oregon Agricultural college, writes as
follows on the treatment of scale
growth on the eyes and noses of cal
yes:
Il note that you say your calves and
yearlings have a heavy scale around
their eyes and down on the nose. This
scale is due to a fungus growth, and
in most cases will came off of its own
accord in the spring. Cases which are
extensive should, however, be treated
promptly.
GAS treatment / would recommend
that you scrape off the scale with a
knife or other suitable instrument for
the purpose and then paint the surface
of the wound with tincture of iodine.
About three paintings will usually be
enough to bring about prompt recov-
cry. In some instances, however,
more applications will be necessary.
"A few doses of potassium iodine
internally will assist in curing more
obstinate cases. Of this / would rec
ommend two teaspoonfuls twice daily
continued for four days; then an in
terval of three days, followed by a
four days course again. The above
dosage is for any calf over three
months old and under six. Larger
animals should receive larger doses in
proportion

Chicago Women Are ''Citizens. )"

Chicago - Chicago women were
shown Sunday that hereafter they are
to be citizens, and treated as such.
The proof came when Superintendent
Foster refused them the right to hold
a mass meeting Tuesday afternoon in
Grant Park, following the suffrage
automobile parade.
The park commissioners declared
that. since the mass meeting would be
political undertaking, and men
were not allowed to make speeches in
public parks, the women ought not 70
expect it. Many, of the suffragists ex-
pressed their satisfaction at being
treated like any other voters.

FRUIT CROP PLANS ARE LAID

Portland Plans for handling The
fruit crop Of the Northwest now are
being made by the Pacific Fruit Ex.

Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
systems. ,'->
=. M. Sechrist, vice-president and
general manager Of the company. with
Headquarters at San Francisco. and
). W. McClymonds, Pacific Coast
agent at San Francisco, were in Port
land recently to prepare for the sea
SON 8 business in the Northwest.
We figure that the fruit output of
the Northwest will be equal to that of
last year about 10000 cars" said
Mr. Sechrist. "Some parts of the
territory will have a lighter crop than
last year, but the increased acreage
will take care of that.
In Southern Oregon we find that
both the crop and the acreage will be
greater than year ago.
I'VE are building 5000 new refrig-
orator cars to handle fruit. This will
give US approximately 13, 900 cars for
use on the lines that we serve. They
VIII be distributed literally over the
Northwest.
Arrangements have been made for
improving our icing service through
out the Northwest. We will add to
the capacity of our plants and make
possible greater speed in icing cars in
transit. I hope that we will be able
to improve our service every year.
California will ship it's usual quota
of deciduous fruits. The orange crop,
however, will be short.
Considering the Pacific Coast fruit
situation as a whole, 1913 will be a
good year, showing its usual increase
and presenting even brighter future
prospects than usual"

ARMIES MEET
AT GETTYSBURG
Civil War Veterans by Thous-
ands Attend Reunion.
Hot Sun Causes Many to Fall--First
Death on Field Due to Heat
Arrangements Perfect.

Gettysburg, Pa. = Gettysburg step
ped 30 years backward Sunday into
history and looked again on an army
OF Blue and an army of Gray, meeting
at her doorstep. From early morning
until long after shutdown the veterans
IN blue and gray trooped into the little
town which has slept peacefully among
its hills since Lee and Meade turned
their legions southwark long ago.
More than 30 special trains came
into the village during the day and
thousands of veterans who tramped up
from the Shenandoah on their former
visit rode in comfort from Harrisburg,
Baltimore and Washington. Instead
of the roar of guns that greeted them
in the other days they entered into the
quiet Sunday calm of country town.
Only the flags flying from every win
dow, the city of tents in the distance,
and the crowds told that Gettysburg
had come out Of the usual into the
extraordinary once more.
From the station of the two railroads
that enter the village is long mile to
the camp of 5000 tents where the vet
Grams are housed. Thousands shout
dered suitcases and walked under a
scorching, cloudless sky. Several sue
cumbed before they found their tents.
There was no complaining, however.
Every possible arrangement for the
comfort of the united armies has been
made. The camp of brown army tents
is under the direction of officers of the
regular army The streets of Gettys-
burg are under the scrutiny of the
Pennsylvania constabulary, and for the
care of the sick the Red Cross has
made extensive preparations.
The camp itself lies on ground that
has been baked as hard as brick and
dried into dust by winds that sweep
the hills, but its sanitation, its water
supply, and its plan for the feeding of
thousands of men, have been made
with the utmost care.
Augustus D. Brown of Livermore
Falls, Maine, was the first veteran to
die on the field. He was taken sud-
denly i'll and died just as the army
surgeon reached him. The heat prob
ably caused his death.

Sulphur as Plant Food is
Discussed by College Chemist

"Will sulphur finally be considered
a critical plant food?" asks Prof. H.
V. Tartar, chemist of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural experiment station in the
May Oregon Countryman, published
by agricultural college students. No
one questions the absolute necessity
of sulphur for plant growth. 1t is as
necessary as is potash, nitrogen or
phosphorus.
"The apparent reason why so little
attention has been given to sulphur in
the schemes for fertilization for per-
manent plant production has been due
to the fact that it was believed that
crops removed but little from the soil
and consequently the supply was am
pie for the continuous growing of
plants. The amount of sulphur in
soils is low. In many instances there
is present in the long cropped soil only
half the quantity which was present
in the original virgin soil.
'sIn the state of Oregon it is a COM
mon practice to use land plaster (gyp-
sum, sulphate of lime), as a fertili-
ger, especially for the growing OF
clover and alfalfa. The beneficial re-
suits obtained from the use Of this
material have often been explained on
the basis of it's action as stimulant.
It has been shown that it aids in the
liberation of potash from the soil.
Yet it is notorious fact that its ben
eficial effect is often far in excess of
that which might be ascribed to the
potash liberated. 1t has it's best eff
feet on those crops which require a
goodly amount of sulphur.
every little attention has, as yet,
been given to the supplying of sulphur
as fertilizing material. A few ex-
periments were tried last year in this
and foreign countries and at this time
but little of the data obtained is avail
able. It is a subject for further in
vestigation by the chemists and agro-
nomists."

WOULD-BE ROBBER CAUGHT.
Young Man Strikes Negro on Head
With Axc-IIandlc, Laying Him Out.

Robert Johnson, colored, last night
found that axe-handles were danger
Gus things to come in contact with,
Tor he was laid out unconscious for a
time when Mr. Clarence Bradford ap-
piled one with force to his head, in
an effort to teach him to be more
careful in future where he went.
1t seems that late Thursday night,
between II and IL o'clock, Geo. E.
Schiadaressi, a Greek who runs a
store at the corner of Liberty and
HarVin streets, returned to his store
with q feeling in his mind that he had
forgotten to bar the back door. AS
he reached the store he met Bradford
and asked him to go into the store
with him, Bradford hesitated, saying
he was in hurry, but finally COM
Piled, and it was we'll for the mer-
chants that he went in. Schiadaressi
found that there was no bar across
the back door and he commenced
looking for it, as it seemed to have
been misplaced somewhere. He went
in behind the counter in doing so and
a big, black negro grabbed him. The
Greek, who is crippled. tussled with
the negro, but it is probable that he
would soon have been done for had
not young Bradford thought OF the
aXehandles standing in barrel near
by. He grabbed one of these and
landed a heavy blow on the negro's
head, laying him out unconscious.
Another negro who had been be-
hind the counter in the front part Of
the store escaped during the scuffle
Policeman Ward was called in
speedily and he soon had the man,
Robert Johnson, safely landed in the
guard house, where he is suffering
from sore head, as the result of the
blow.
