Judge Davidson Develops a
Variety Well Adapted ito
this Climate. &R
It. II. Bonoy, a Gorman farmer, tills
yonr mined a crop of fifty bushels to
the ncre of fine yollow corn. The spring
was cold nnd bnckwnrd nnd a month
lute, but he inndo tho crop nnd Is rais
ins a tine lot of hogs und poultry
with It.
According to recent ostlmntes'of tho
corn crop of the United Stutes for 1901,
the average yield per ncre Is 17.4 bush
els. The average yield Inst year, under
favorable conditions, wns 25.6 bushels
per acre. Judgo T. I Davidson, of
this city, says his corn crop thlB year
will yield him CO bushels per ncre of
shelled corn, or 100 bushelH of cars.
This Is not a bad showing for a poor
corn state. t
Judge Davidson has been raising
corn for tho last 30 years, and has di
rected his attention to "mnklng" corn
as well ns raising It. That Is, by se
lecting his seed carefully, and studying
the requirements of Oregon climate
and soil, he now has a kind of corn alto
gether different from what ho had 30
years ago, though he has not changed
liln seed In tho meantime. He now has
corn that can bo depended upon to pro
duce a crop every year, maturing at
the right season and yielding good
measure per acre. It Is In this rcspeot
that Judgo Davidson has the ndvantago
of others who havo tried corngrowlng
In Oregon, with unsatisfactory results.
Other farmers have planted seed re
gardless of Its adaptability to this cli
mate, and this In no small degrco ac
counts for their failure. In a state
ment In Tho Oregonlnn last summer.
Judgo Davidson gave a detailed ac
count of his methods of planting, culti
vation nnd harvesting, and tho good
crop ho has now stored in his barn Is
the best ovldcnco that his ideas are
founded upon the experience of years.
"When asked whether it pays him to
ralso corn, Judge Davidson said that
ho does not sell his crop, but fecdB It to
his hogs and chickens. It would
bring CO conW per bushel In tho mar
ket, or $30 per acre. Ho thinks this Ih
a llttlo more profitable than wheat
rnlslng, for the reason thnt ho hns no
threshing bill to pay and does not em
ploy much labor. Tho work does not
como In a rush, nnd can be done al
most entirely within the family. No
complicated nnd expensive machinery
Is required, and his corn land need
not bo summer-fallowtil. The corn,
however, must bo cultivated, and this
probably offsets the threshing bill of a
wheat crop.
Tho oxpurlonco of Judgo Davidson
docs not nruvo that Oregon may bo
oomo a greut corn-producing stale,
but does demonstrate that farmers can
profitably raise corn In such quantities
na they muy need for fattening their
HvcBtook. It shows that n fnrnNjr
must "grade up" his soil crops Just as
ho docs his livestock, and Improve tho
quality. It Is related of a Now York
farmer that ho started in with corn
whoso oars grew four feet from the
ground. Tho butts of tho cornstalks
wore practically worthless and woro a
detriment to tho corn. By solectlng
for seed the host ears growing closest
to tho ground, he llnally had a kind of
corn whose ears grew within two feet
of tho ground. In this way Judgo Da
vidson has changed tho naturo of his
corn until ho lias seed that will pro
duce a maximum of porfect enrs, ma
turing nt tho proper season.

TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Wfnm In AVlilcIi to Leurn How Vaut
I . You Are Travelluir.
I "There Iiiih been aouio plcturesQUu
cou written about tho caso with
which railroad men nnd drummers aro
auppoHcd to tick off tho mllcu us the
train upeeds uIouk from thlnga thoy
can see from tho car windows," snld a
I railroad conductor to a roportcr.
"There Ib only ono Btrlctly accurate
n-ny, and that Is to neat yourself on tho
, tide of tho train from which may bo
observed tho white mllo posts that lino
tho rond and hold your watch ou them.
If you havo n split second wntch, It
will urovo Interesting to noto thnt
whllo you made ono mllo In CO seconds
thu noxt was covered In 53 and tho
third In 70 seconds, and so ou, us the
upeed of tho train Increases or slack
ens. You may also follow around the
llttlo second hand on nu ordinary
wntch. It kills time.
"Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed of tho train by couutlug
tho telegraph poles. If thero were on
exact uumlxr of telogrnph poles to ev
ery mile, this might bo done by a little
figuring, but thero Is a dllTenmco. The
number of telegraph poles to n mllo
vary from 33 to 40, depending upon the
straight Btretches nnd the curves In tho
track, tho latter having more poles
than the former. Ro, you see, It Is uot
as easy bb the drummer would have
the othor piiBsongera believe.
"If tho poles are plnnted 33 to the
mile, they nro 100 feet apart, and every
11 passed represents a third of n mile.
If placed -10 to a mile, they nro 132 feet
apart, and overy i!0 represents half n
mile.
"Those are easy flguros to remember,
and by applying them on n Journey a
passenger may obtain an Idea more or
leas accurate of the speed of the train.
"Another way Is to attempt to count
tho clicks of the wheels of tho truck of
your car as they pass ovor the rails
whero Joined. The rails of the roads ns
placed today uro too evenly joined to
nrrlvo at nu exact determination by
tills method, bccau6o If you miss two or
three Joints your calculations aro
thrown out as to accuracy.
"However, there nro railroad tueu
who cannot tell you tho number of rails
to tho mllo of tholr owu rouds, und
rails vary in length, the average bclug
80 feet, some 33 feet and boiuo 00 feet.
At 80 feet thero ore 170 rails to the

A
LITTLE NONSENSE.
How a Man Was "Squnched" In a
Street Car.
The undersized, smooth faced
man who boarded n west bound car
at tho cornor of Sixth streot and tho
avonuo, evidently n just arrived
trnvolor, was ovorything immacu
lato in toggory, from tho tips of his
patent loatner sIioob to tho crown of
tiis silk hat. Ho wasn't a chappie,
but n middle aged man, who looked
ns it lie might bo old nuuuisu as to
his apparel. Ilo took a scat of
about tho proper area for a full
sizod man) but, as stated, ho wasn't
full sized, so that ho loft a vacancy
of about a foot on ono sido of him.
At tho Sovonth streot trnnsfor
Btation tho first transferoo to outer
tho car was an old fashionod black
mammy, who couldn't havo woighed
much loss than 250. Sho made for
tho vacant spneo besido tho im
maculate undersized man and sat
down in it not in any pushing,
militant way, but ftrmly and de
cisively novortholoM. Sho didn't ap-
ponr to linvo noticed tho smooth
faced, unjhjrsized man. For flvo or
six squHtSho sat imitiblo as to all
of his unTfomy cscojit his foot and
lioml, whan ho suuuonly snoozed.
Tho old mammy turnod about and
looked at him whon ho snoezod, and
Ihon hho made an offort to push over
aud givo him u littlo inoro room.
"Well, bress ho all's ha'ht, Ah
dun bin gmmchin do boy!" sho ox
claimed gmicitously.

Little Things That All Housekeepers
bught to Know.
Save the wire from discarded
brooms until enough is obtained to
mako a small hand broom. Cut it
into lengths of six or soven inches,
bind securely and attach a handle.
Such a broom is udmirablo in clean
ing ironware or other metal.
Save all paper tablet covers for
iiro in mnunhnrr nliotoirranlis or
pietuvo cords, etc. Do not detach
the half cover not used, but lot it
servo as a base, opening it half way,
pyramid fashion, tho tablo or man
tel serving as tho base.
If vour houso is not provided with
phuttcrs to excludo tho heat that
Senetrates tho thickest of shades
urlug hot summer weather, tako
several thicknesses of nowspapor
and tack or gluo to tho uppor sash;
let them reach at least half way tho
length of tho window. By keeping
tho blinds closed a coolness will bo
obtained that would be othenviso
impossible. A largo sheet of paste
board may bo substituted for the
papor. Small hoods or coverings
ovor windows also oxciuuo union
boat.
If a patch is wanted on tho solo
nr unnor port of a thin shoo or slip
por, apply thin loathor with a coat
of mucilage. It will remain for
months.
In repairing or altering cotton
clothing it is vexing to find that
tho muchino stitching has shrunk,
drawing seams, hems, etc., into
puckers. This troublo may bo
avoided by soaking tho spool of
thread overnight in walor, after
ward placing it whoro it will dry. If
colored Uiroud is oiled with machino
oil, it niakos it strongerand it works

STALLINGS WAS. UNABASHED.
Representative Stallings of Ala
bama has tho reputation of being
able to turn a corner quicker than
any other politician in tho south,
but ho found himself in a very closo
corner tho other day. It so hap
pened that a gentleman living in ono
of the most prominent towns in
Stallings' district got on tho train
for Washington ono lino morning to
bee about tho appointment us post
muster which Stallings had prom
ised him. To his pleasure ho found
another prominent citizen of that
pluco a fellow passenger.
Before thoy had traveled 50 miles
confidences wero exchanged, and
they discovered, to their indigna
tion, that both wero bound on tho
same errand, Stallings had prom
ised tho postoffico to both of them
during tho last campaign and had
told them to como to wasningiou
shortly before tho term of tho pres
ent incumbent expired. At first they
woro inclined to turn back hope,
but after discussing tho subject
awhilo thoy concluded that thoy
would go on to Washington and
confront Stallings with his duplic
ity.
Thoy arrived all right and tho
next morninn called upon their con-
grcssmun at his hotel. Ho received i
tnem coruiauy, was noi u uu mio-1
trnted. and when each in turn re- l
minded him of his promiso to mako
liim postmaster Stallings clapped
his hand upon his knee, roared with
laughter and said, "Boys,f I reckon
ono of you uns must bo lying, and I
wish you'd toll mo which it is."
