With relations with the North Pa

Hood River Valley will undoubtedly be
the most strongly organized section In
the Northwest, because many growers
who now ship independently win join

96 per cent Of the Hood River apples
will be shipped this year through the
local association.
Many growers during the past two

The financial management also has

would replace the cruiser Boston now
in the Portland harbor. The governor
acted upon the suggestion Of Adjutant
General White, who believes the as
signment of the historic vessel to Ore
gon waters would give great impetus
to the upbuilding Of the militia.
In writing the Navy department the
governor strongly urged the that the
loan of the Oregon be granted this
state. He pointed out that the assign
ment of the battleship would aid ma
terially in increasing the scope and
efficiency of the Naval Militia and
would have great deal to do in popu-
larizing and perpetuating the organic
alton. He further dwelt upon the fit
ness, from a sentimental standpoint,
of having the battleship transferred to
its namesake state.

dyes used in textile mills are made in
Germany. While dyes have not been
listed as contrsband, the German gov

against allowing export to America.

SUGGEST PONTOON PLAN
Naval Officers Call Conference With Engineers and Diving Experts
 to Formulate Working Plan.

Washington.-Efforts to raise the sunken submarine F-4 in Honolulu har- hor were temporarily suspended after a hawser with which the boat was being dragged toward shore snapped
 Rear Admiral Moore reported from Honolulu that the submarine evident ly was waterlogged and too heavy to be raised by the equipment employed by the searching fleet. This destroyed eny faint hope that might have been left of finding any of the crew of Fl alive.
 The vessel lies in 45 fathoms (270 feet) of water, and her position is being held while preparations for raising her by pontoons are made.
 Admiral Moores report follows:
 Lieut.. c. E. Smith, commanding the first submarine division of the Pacific torpedo fiotilla, has located the F-4 and moved her slight distance in shore. The lifting hawser parted. The submarine is evidently waterlogged. The equipment is too light to raise her. We are making arrangements to lift her by the pontoon method. We still have a line on the submarine and can hold her location. Depth, "A fathoms.

COMMON DISEASE OF SHEEP
Animals Afflicted With Foot Rot Should Be Removed to Clean, Dry
 Lands and Trouble Attended To.

The first thing to do for sheep with foot rot is to get them on to clean, high, dry lands. Their feet should then be examined and any foreign mat ter between the toes, which may be ag- gravating the case, removed. All ulcers containing pus should also be opened and the pus drained off.
 The next thing to do is to apply strong disinfectants to kill the trouble some parasites. Ointments made of 8 lard or lard-and- four body, with car bolic acid or sheep dip in generous proportions incorporated, are some times used for this purpose This is applied after the foot has been thor oughly bathed and cleaned up. This treatment requires considerable time and effort and is not practical in large fiocks.

WRONG PRACTICE WITH S0WS
First Pure-Bred Sow Is Usually Put in Pen by Herself, Petted and
 Generously Overfed.

It seems almost natural for the pur- his desire to give her extra care, to overfeed her, to keep her away from the other hogs, put her in a close pen, where she is petted and fed at regular meal times, and lunch be- tween in some instances, in their anxiety to do the very best for her possible.
 This method of treatment is sure to ruin the SOW, both in the feeding and ih the close confinement, preventing her from taking the necessary exer- else, so needful to the proper strength ening and building up on solid foundation and to harden her in de- veloping her, giving her good con stitution, broadening her and strengthening her with the exercise, which is also imparted to her coming litter.
 The parlor SOW, with her pettings and care, is nearly always a failure. and the party is wondering why it Is. writes William Carruthers in Orchard ana fdTLU. IL IS lHS WIOiS hSlhoo throughout. It is unnatural and al- most certain to result in failure of the SOW.
 Feeding when properly done, com bined with exercise, is the proper idea. Feeding of the right character is essential; it needs to be regular. at uniform times, and with plenty of water and proper exercise, is the power that is depended upon to develop and improve the breed. The feeder is an important man in the destiny of the hog and should understand the busi- ness and act according to reason and the experience that Is taught from those who have made a success of it..

EXCELLENT HINTS ON HORSES.
Intelligent Management 10 Essential Point-Don't Sacrifice Quality to
 SIxe-Time for Water.

The essential point in using pure bred draft mares on the farm is intel ligent management.
 The last 200 pounds we can put on a young draft horse is the most profit able 200 pounds of meat we can pro- duce on the farm.
 No drawing card holds out quite, such strong inducements to good hired, men as the farm that maintains high class work horses.
 It is great mistake to sacrifice quality to size.
 A horse is worth just what he can endure for his owner.
 Many farm horses get more hay than is good for them. It is . poor plan to keep their feed racks or. manager full of hay all the time.
 A horse watered the last thing at night and the first thing in the mordr- tng is not going to take too much.

This allows complete freedom of movement of the various parts of the tool, yet keeps the intermeshed teeth of the racks from slipping out of place and making the implement use- less. The cutting jaws are operated over the top of the hoof.
