Defeated Men Are
For WithycOmbe

NsThe following announcement has
been published by the republican
state committee:
To the Voters of the State of Oregon:
We were candidates for the nom
ination for the office OF governor in
the republican primaries, and were
fairly and honorably defeated by the
Hon. James Withycombe. He has al
ways been a true and loyal repub-
lican-is a good, clean man with a
good, clean record, and in our judg-
ment would make a good, clean gov
ernor.
Each of us sincerely and earnestly
appeal to our respective personal and
political friends throughout the state
to harmonic and unite the republic
an party and to rally to the support
of republican policies and principles
and to vote for and Loyalty support
all of the nominees on the republican
ticket. Oregon should no longer be
politically misrepresented in the
state or national capitals, and should
be placed in the republican column
where 1t rightfully belongs.

I have used Doan's Kidney Pills to
good advantage and can recommend

All the simple, pretty washable mate

PROLONG THE LIFE OF FENCE
POSTS.
BY c.. WILLIS.


There are several methods by which
timbers may be given thorough pres
ervation treatment. The surface of the
wood may be soaked with paint or
some similar substance. Such a coat
ing keeps the wood dry, and more or
less effectively excludes the entrance
of the decay-producing organisms
piled to only well-seasoned material,
since they will also tend to retard
the escape of such moisture as may
be already within the timber. Better
preServativeS are the products of the
distillatiOn Of coal tar and petroleum
tar, which, in addition to possessing
the advantages of paint, are anti
septics and poisonous to fungi. The
deeper such antiseptics penetrate the
wood the more lasting is their eff
feet
l It's well-known that wood decays
| most rapidly when placed in contact
with the surface Of the ground, be-
cause the Notwithstanding organisms
/ find there more uniform conditions of
heat and moisture to encourage their
development. For this reason the
ground line of post must be thor
Oughly treated, whereas portions OF
| the post above and below this point
require less treatment. The climate
Of the locality should also be con-
| SlucTCO. In the WARM NIUIl OldlcS VI
| in noistlure-laden atmosphere posts
require more thorough treatment than
! in a cooler northern climate or on
| the arid plains.
The impregnation Of fence posts
with creosote is best accomplished by
the so-called "open-tank process.
This consists of heating the wood for
a certain period and then cooling it
in the preservative. The principle is
simple During the heating the high
Temperature causes the air and water
contained in the wood cells to expand,
SO that a portion of this air and
water is forced out. The rest contracts
as the subsequent cooling progresses
and a partial vacuum is formed, into
which atmosphere pressure forces the
cool preserEatiye.
The open-tank principle may be
variously applied in the treatment OF
posts. The best way to heat the posts
is TO immerse their butts in creosote

GROWING MILLET HAY.
(By A. NJ. Soule.)

"a.
Ni,et can frequently be grown as a
oatrh crop when other important
orons have failed. AS most varieties
of this crop natures in from SO to 80
avs il can often follow wheat or
tier winter cereals. There are many
,,arieties of millet on the market, but
onIv a few of these shows exceptional
marit Among the best varieties are
German, Japanese and Hungarian,
which made in recent tests, an aver
ace Weld Of hay of 3.85, 2.8O, and ZAP
tons respectively. The principal OBJ
iection to the Japanese is the coarse
ness OF the stalks, which prevent it's
being eaten with as much relish as
fhe finer stemmed varieties.
That a large quantity of fine quality
hay can be obtained by growing millet
and cutting when the seed is in the
carly dough sage is admitted by ALL
and owing to the difficulty Of main
tanning like stock in many sections,
because Of the scarcity and high price
of hay. it is surprising that this crop
i not more extensively cultivated.
Timothy hay. for instance, which is
regarded as the standard, contains
6S per cent of protein, 1875 per cent
of fiber 51.7 per cent of fat. Hun
garan grass contains 81 per cent Of
protein so per cent of fiber, 53.1 per
cent of nitrogen free extract. and 2.3
per cent of fat Millett hay, if prop
eriy made and cured, thus contains
more nutriment per ton than timothy

from 10 , tons of cured millet hay,

course, depend somewhat on the va

the thickness of seeding. Thick seed

EFFECT OF SULPHUR ON PLANT
GROWTH
{ BY H. L. Russell. }

Improved methods OF analysis have
shown that the sulphur content of
cereals is nearly as high as their con-
tent OF phosphorous. Work of chem
lists also indicated that three times as
much sulphur may be lost in drainage
waters as is brought to the soil in
