The supreme court this morning
handed down ten opinions, among them
one on the eight. hour law, it coming
before the court in the case Of Mayor
Albee, of Portland against Andy Vein
berger, constable. The court holds that
neither firemen nor policemen are lab
'orers and among other things says:
'Giving to the term 'laborer' as
used in the enactment quoted the most
extensive definition applicable, it is not
believed fireman or policeman, en-
ployed by the city of Portland, or the
services which he is ordinarily required
to perform for it, makes either labor.
er within the meaning of the word. 1t
will be remembered that by law Of
that municipality all officers and mem
bers of the fire and police departments
are required to take and subscribe
their names to an oath of office.
Oath Makes Him Officer,
"Several cases were quoted and re.
ferred to bearing out this contention,
that the taking an oath of office makes
the person taking it an officer and not
a laborer.
Neither a policeman nor fireman
can be dismissed by the appointing
power" says the court "and hence is
neither servant nor an employe, and
having taken an oath to perform the
duties devolving upon him he is an
officer" The suit was brought by
Mayor Albee in the shape Of an apph-
cation to be discharged from arrest, and
and application was granted.

Another case decided was the appli.
cation Of Frank Foster for writ of
habeas corpus, an appeal from a deci-
sion of Judge Galloway which was af-

GIVE LAMBS THE BEST FEED
Care Should Be Exercised That Moth
Ing Is Left After Hunger Of AMI
NAL 10 Satisfied.

In feeding the lambs great care
should be taken that no feed is left
after their hunger is satisfied. There
is another point in the feeding of
lambs which cannot be too strongly
emphasized. namely, that the food
should be of the best quality. Ensilage
that is the slightest degree moldy
should never be offered them.
OF all farm animals lambs are the
most fastidious about their feed, and
success in feeding depends largely
upon the manner in which their food
is given them.
All successful feeders are well
aware that strict regularity in the
hours of feeding is as essential in the
feeding of lambs as 1t is in the man
agement OF any other kind OF live
stock.

INJURY FROM wEEwL
INSECT DOING MUCH DAMAGE
IN WESTERN STATES.
Brush Drag Is Effective In Knocking
Larvae Feeding on stubbIe to
Ground Where Many Are
ManqIed or suffoeated.


The alfalfa leaf-weevil which has
during the last few years been doing
considerable damage in parts Of our
western states, is a European insect
which by some means unknown has
been introduced into this country.
The species appears to be not I'M
common throughout Europe and parts
of Asia and Africa. It belongs to the
large order of hard-shelled insects
called beetles, and in a group gener-
ally called snout-beetles. To this same
group belong many of our most seri-
GUS pests, such as the plum curculio,
cotton boil weevil and strawberry wee
vii. It occurs all over Europe, a por-
ton of northern Africa and eastern
Asia. 1t probably occurs throughout
all of the regions In which alfalfa is
cultivated In the eastern hemisphere,
but rarely causes damage sufficient to
be reported.
This weevil belongs to a family OF
insects which feed principally upon
leguminous plants and several species
in the genus have been introduced
into the United States and Canada.
Two OF these, the clover leaf-weevil,
and the lesser clover leaf-weevil. have
done considerable damage to the Glow
er crop in the eastern and central
states, and the former has been re-
ported as injuring clover in the ex-
IRENE northwest. They also feed on
alfalfa and other related plants.
Many methods of Kidding the fields
of these pests have been tried-burn-
ing, sweeping and dragging-with
varying results. Many patterns of the
brush drag are In use, but the one
which seems to be giving the best re-
suits is made by laying the butts OF
rather short brush, five or six feet
long, in a row on a plank twelve or
fourteen feet long, then another row
should be laid on the first, consisting
Of longer brush, with the butts
trimmed little further back, so that
you will have in effect two brush har-
rows, one following the other. An
other plank should be laid on the
brush butts and bolted to the under
plank. In weighing this harrow, lay
an ordinary tooth harrow, teeth down.
directly on the brush drag. This
