Has Robust Appetite.

One of the Avery children of West Town street found young rose breasted grosbeak in the lane near his home this week. There was no nest nor larger birds near so he carried it home The first day the bird ate twenty five angleworms and soon learned to watch for food and make a, crying noise when a member of the family came near the cage. It is taken out at frequent intervals during the day and fed with crumbs and worms and makes most interesting study.

OSTEOPOTHY

OsteOpathy brings about a cure by
building up the parts. by 50 stimu
lating the circulation that Nature
brings every part TO the performance
Of its function and throws off all SUI
perhuOus and poisonous matter
When the circulation Is sluggish. in
fammation results. and the waste
tissue which should be carried away
by the blood. and exhaled from the
lungs and skin, remains to clog and
poison the system. The result is d.
sease IN the one or more forms which
it assumes. OsteOpathy cures by
the well-known law of nature, that
if properly sustained. each organ viii
perform its functions naturally. 1t
does il by tOning up the system and
stimulating the circulation. so that
the disorder. whatever particular
form it may have taken, disappears.
Osteopathy rarely does not make
the cure. but simply assists nature,
who IS the great physician after all.
She it Is who must repair every
break and every tissue. All the skill
Of all the worlds wise men cannot
mend the broken leg Of a sparrow.
cannot construct one cell of millions
that make up the body, nor weave
one square inch Of that delicate ia
bric. the skin. The best we can do
IS to bring our humble services TO the
aid Of the great Physician. and this
IS all we claim 10 do with osteopa-

USE sPUDs TO MAKE PIGS FAT
Polk People viii Be Interested in
Tests of Feeding Porkers.


Polk county people will be inter
ested in tests which have been made
at the Eastern Oregon experiment
station with potatoes and pigs. The
Portland Union stockyards has fur.
nished the following bulletin on this
question Of producing pork where No
I pork grew before:
can experiment to test the feed
ing value Of raw or steamed pota-
toes as supplementary feed with a
grain ration, has been carried on by
Robt WithycOmb at the Eastern Or
egOn experiment station. with inter-
esting results, which will be Of spec
lal value this year on account Of the
superabundant potato crop.
1.-The hogs IN the experiment were
divided into eight lots and records Of
the different feed ration given each
and the prOpOrtionate gain made
were kept carefully. Each hog in
lots l and ? ate an average Of I70.l8
pounds Of barley and 5O9.53 pounds
OF raw potatoes, making a gain in
weight Of 60.70 pounds. Those in lots
, and + ate Il0.30 pounds Of barley
and 663.15 pounds steamed potatoes.
and made a gain Of 1850 pounds
while those IN lots and 6 ate 1850
pounds barley and j64.80 pounds Of
steamed potatoes and made a gain
Of $50 pounds. Lots 7 and s ate
3OO1O pounds barley without pota-
toes and made a gain Of Gg.5 pounds. .
The last two lots. fed barley alone. .
were used as a check on the others
to show more definitely the proper
-lonate value Of potatoes. At the
present market value of ) .O7 a
pound live weight, the hogs fed bar
ey made e4.S7 gain. which makes
he barley feeding value SIG2 to the
hundred.

1T Is noticeable that those fed 4

OLD WEDDING Day CUSTOMS
Many superstitions Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially in OIden Times.

Superstition never clustered round
any episode of life more than that of
the wedding day. especially in olden
times.
Then 1t was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
bunch Of rosemary. tied up with rib
bons, on his first appearance on the
wedding morning This was supposed
to Insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever
In Yorkshire the old superstition
still abounds that nothing more I'M
lucky could happen than for a newly
made bride to leave the church by a
different door from that by which she
entered
Another quaint custom, for which
there is no known origin, is that
practiced in some of the midland and
northern counties. This is TO ring

first reading of the banns of an in
tending matrimonial couple 1t is
