GRIFFITH,s SUGGESTION

Clark Griffith. who has since time
immemorial been a victim of baseball
circumstances, has finely come to
the conclusion that Washington is
bound by fate never to win a pennant.
for the old fox has set forth a new
grievance and wishes to have the
teams who finish second and third in
the pennant race rewarded for their
endeavors. Mr.. Griffith believes that
1t would only be appropriate for the
team which finishes second to re-
ceive $4,000 for so doing, and that
the third team in the race should be
given $4,000.

ALARMING DEVASTATION
Done in Vicinity of Barre BY Tent Cater.
pillar.

| Householders around the city are thor
| oughly alarmed over the inroads which
the tent caterpillars have been making
among the shade trees as well as small
fruit orchards during the past few
weeks. Early in the season the appear
ance of many tents, or nests, on the out
skirts, were enough to cause many to ex-
pect another epidemic such as devasted
entire sugar orchards some twelve or
fourteen years ago. Concerted attacks
on the pest were made by boy scouts
as we'll as by the owners of trees, but
the parasite increased with amazing rap
dity until at present, some sections of
the city, where the feeding grounds are
most favorable, are literally ridden with
the tree worms.
Many residents have adopted the pre-
caution of encircling their trees with
bands of sticky fly paper, while Others
have followed the same idea by tieing
strips of cotton batting about the tree
trunks. Either method is said to be eff
fective in keeping worms that have
dropped to the ground from ascending
to the trees again. In places where the
worms abound among the upper limbs
in blotehes, however, combating them is
another matter. A number have par
tally solved the difficulty by attaching
torches of burning rags and oil to long
poles and thereby burning the tent deni
zens by the thousand. The newly APP
pointed park commission had been APP
pealed to for assistance and Saturday
one of its members addressed letter
to State Forester A. +. Halves, asking
for suggestions in coping with the cater
pillars.

POTATOES TO FATTEN PIGS

POTATOES TO FATTEN PIGS
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with grain ra-
ton, has been carried on by Robt.
Withycomb at the Eastern Oregon
experiment station, with interesting
results, which will be Of special val
ue this year on account of the SUI
perabundant potato crop.
The hogs in the experiment were
divided into eight lots and records
of the different feed ration given
each and the proportionate gain
made We're kept carefully. Each hog
in lots and 2 ate an average OF
17O.18 pounds Of barley and 5O9.53
pounds of raw potatoes, making a
gain in weight of 60.70 pounds.
Those In lots 3 and 4 ate 1000
pounds of barley and 663.75 pounds
steamed potatoes, and made gain
of 1890 pounds while those In lots
5 and 6 ate 1850 pounds barley and
564. 80 pounds steamed potatoes and
made a gain of 1910 pounds. Lots
Z and s ate 300.10 pounds barley
without potatoes and made a gain OF
695 pounds.
The last lois, fed barley alone,
were used as a check on the others
to show more definitely the proper
tionate value of the potatoes. AT
the present market value OF >$.07 a
pound live weight, the hogs fed bar
ley made a $4.S7 gain, which makes
the barley feeding value $1.62 to the
hundred.
Lots and fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate Of pounds OF
potatoes to POUND Of barley, made
$4.25 gain. which gives the raw
potatoes q feeding value Of $.29 to
the hundred. Lots 3 and 4 receiv-
ing times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made $4.94 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes a feed
ing value of SAT to the hundred.
Lots s and 6 fed three times as
much steamed potatoes as barley,
made a $547 gain making the feeds
ing value of the potatoes $.42 to
the hundred.
It is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain DID
not make quite the gain made by the
other, but 1t required 1925 pounds
less barley to make this gain, SO the
difference in feeding value Is ac-
counted for.
It ia also noteworthy that the
steam potatoes are worth $.1S more
to the hundred than raw for feeding'
as shown in the comparison OF the
gains Of animals fed the 3 to ! ra-
ton.

WALKING TYPHOID

Some people take life seriously.
others do not. Some take almost any
disease, from headache or common
cold on up seriously. Others pass 1t
up as a small matter. People differ
in their way of doing things, and tax
ing diseases is no exception to the
rule. Two people may get typhoid
from the same source, 1t may be OF
the same virulence, just as poisonous
Just as active, and all that, but the
one case may be simply poetry be
side the other. In a very large meas
ure every man makes his own dis
ease.
Don't Judge the virulence OF the
typhoid bacill by the virulence OF
the disease. A case Of walking ty-
phoid Is just as dangerous around a
dairy as a case that makes people
wire friends and relatives. In fact,
1t is lots worse. In serious case
of typhoid the patient would lie in
| bed, and the nurse would, In all
probability, wash her hands before
coming in contact with anything
else.
But how are we to tell typhoid
when every man makes his own ty'
phoid? That Is just where the differ
ence comes in between a real doctor
and one that isn't. Almost any one
can guess typhoid when all the symp-
tins and indications are just as stat
ed In textbooks, but when a lot OF
differences come up, and things seem
all mixed, the good doctor or dag
nostician Is the only kind you want.
Fortunately for both doctors and pa
tents, there is way to tell typhoid
in spite OF conflicting symptoms. All
that is necessary 10 to send drop OF
