Orange Judd Fanner. Fair Farmer. Well, why shouldn't farmers' girls study agriculture? Is there any good reason why the State, should provide for the education of the farmers' boys and allow the girls to get their training wherever they can? Wouldn't It be good thing to Introduce coeducation at the agricultural colleges? These qtics. tions may have been raised before now, but we do not think they have been adequately discussed. Perhaps there lias not been sutHclcnt demand on the part of the country girls for an agricul tural education. It may be that they are too desirous to leave the farm to think of preparing themselves for wo man's work on the farm. Minnesota has a girl's school of agrl : culture, said to be the only one. In the ' country. It has been established for many years, and the results are men' tioned with pride by the Minnesota pa pers. Th.e students receive. Instruc tions In cooking, canning, fruit and flower culture, dairying, household cliiilti'y, entomology aud sewing, and . the farmer who gets one of these well trained girls for a wife Is very fortun- Ate. Any one can see how a woman educated In agricultural pursuits to which she Is adapted may make herself very useful and very contented on the farm. Exchange. e hed fo- Silo. In building a silo outside of a barn In some localities It will be necessary to provide some means of protecting It fnyii. the extreme cold. This may cheaply be done by mpaus of a cover shed, an outline of which is shown In florae Hint. Pelng gentle with a horso will help him to be gentle. Keep the colt fat and be will make an cosy-going horse. Sores on horses' shoulders are large ly the result of lll-llttlng collars. An excess of food weakens a working nnlmnl and disables It from work. - If young teams are overloaded they are apt to become discouraged or vicious. Take the horse to the harness shop and see that a collar fits him before you" miy it. Blood, food, care and training are the essentials necessary for producing a ttrst-clnss horse. To n very considerable extent the' most costly farming Is that done with poor teams. There are few diseases to which horses are subject but are easier pre vented than cured. Good grooming does not only add to the animal's comfort, but to Its health fulness as well. When the horse Is brought lii from work he should be giveu a good drink: If too warm to drink he Is too warm to eat. Feeding a little wheat bran with the other grain will help to make the horse's hair sleek and glossy. The best farm horse Is the one with a kind and tractable disposition, well brokeu and serviceable. . The farmers will always be poor who continue to raise $50 horses at an ex pense of $100. ; The feed and care necessary to raise a poor horse costs as much In every way as It does for one of the best. A horse needs' exercise every day to Keep tils system properly regulated and make his hair to be bright and sleek. A New Rpk Plant. While the egg plant Is grown very extensively as a market garden crbp, It Is seen far too little In home gardens. and yet there Is no difficulty In raising It. The main point to be observed is that the plant Is a very tender annual and has to be start ed In a hotbed or greenhouse. Many fail with It because they set out the feakl hog plant, plants too early. There Is no use to plant them outdoors so long as there Is any danger from frost or even so long as the nights are very cool, although actual front does not occur. One-bnlf dozen plants will be sufficient for a moderate sized fam ily. Where potted plants can be pro cured from the florist or plant grower, they are far preferable to those taken up direct from the seed bed. Until re cently there has been but very little choice In varieties, the New York Im proved Furple having been almost the only variety raised, but now there comes the "Pearl," a white-fruited egg plant equal In size and quality to the New York Improved. The plant is stated to be remarkably productive and the fruit of the finest quality, either linked or fried. American Agricultur ist. . COVEK SHKD FOR SILO. an Illustration from Country Gentle man. The space between Its walls and the walls of the silo could be filled with straw or leaves, and thus be made to serve a double purpose, furnishing ptornge room and also protecting en- el la go. ' White Clover for Pasture. It Is one of the advantages of rough, rocky land that as It cannot often be cultivated nor' ever very thoroughly, the surface soil Is pretty sure to be filled with white clover seed. It ! said to be natural to such land, which means that It has so long occupied the soil that there Is plenty of seed to grow whenever It hats a fair chance. It Is an excellent pasture grass, as Its roots run near the surface and quickly respond even to light rains, which will not re vive other grasses. It Is greatly helped by a dressing of gypsum. On long-cultivated ground, especially where no clover has been thickly seeded, there will be little white clover visible. But even there It U often ready when It gets the chance. Bweet Cor for Feeding;. There are a good many farmers who grow sweet corn for market wuo do not care to grow any other kind, because having only small places. If the two kinds are grown, there will be more or less mixed grains In the ears. What corn they cannot sell green they grind and feed to stock. The sweet corn dries down harder than will the com whose carbon Is starch rather than sugar. It Is also much lighter than the field corn after its surplus of water has dried oat of It, Sweet corn gronnd with the cob makes a meal that cattle and horses are very fond of when fed with cut feed. But as Its weight Is less than the Held corn meal, more nust be fed to Prunes Are Profitable. There ought to be much more exten sive planting of the German prune. We found It years ago the most paying fruit we could grow. It was always In good demand and at better prices than plums. The prune is also a surer bear er than the plum, unless we may ex cept some of the new Japanese varie ties. Yet, though the prune may be grown nearly everywhere, It has been planted so sparingly In the East that a large part of our supply of dried prunes comes from the Pacific coast States, where Its cultivation, to market 3,000 miles east, has been found very prof itable. American Cultivator. . Tlia 8x Rhnns Publicity on Their Own Weaknesses From Menu of Falaa Modesty. 1 from the Times, Los Angeles, fal. Women suffer from certain diseases peculiar to their sex and usually have great delicacy in speaking of stiuh ills. Just why, we cunnot soy. Thero would seem to be no more reason for silence in such matters than there is about the ordinary every day ills. Occasionally, however, a woman of strong sense is found, and is an exception to the rule. Such a one is Mrs. Homo S. Thompson, of 819 East First 'street, Los Angeles, Cal. This is what she savs: "For Ave or sx years I was soriously ill with female complaint. I eon Id not go about, I suffered intense pain, and at times I was hardly able to mine myself up in bed. I was then living in San Bernatdino and I consulted a physician who thought he could cure me. For seven months I was under his care t a lunar his prescriptions, but he did me no good at all, and I grew worse instead of better. Finally I tried another physician and I was under his care for several months, but lie did me no mora good than the first one, tried all sorts of remedies without any beneficial effects. "Finally I saw an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo pie, and I resolved to try them. I be gan taking the pills. The effect was wonderful. Almost immediately I be gan to improve. I have tuken these pills now for six or seven months and I am entirely cured. I had previously tried every sort of remedy that I could think of, besides consulting many doc tors, and nothing helped me until I took these pills. They are the best remedy I ever used, and the only one I would recommend. I am now as well as I ever was in my life and have had no return of my complaint.- "I make this statement voluntarily and in the hne that it may lead others now suffering as I suffered to try these pills.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and bhI low complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.

It rains on an average 208 days in the year in Ireland, about 150 in Eng land, at Kozan about ninety days and in Siberia only sixty days. DRUNKARDS Hjre Fx port a. While rye is always prone to follow wheat in Its fluctuations, the price has been at a much greater discount than an average, one year. with an other. To this must be accorded the sharp increase In the export business, which amounted to nearly 6,000,000 bushels during the past nine months compared with only 333,000 bushels the same period a year earlier. Were there any adequate outlet, however, we could spare much more of our annual crop, which approximates 30.000,000 bushels. It Is here seen that low prices help rye exports. Farm Notea. Changing pasturage maintains better thrift. Cultivate thoroughly whether the weeds grow or not. It Is mistaken economy not to feed young, growing pigs well A supply of salt should be kept where the stock can help themselves. Keep the teams in a good condition by feeding and grooming regularly. An animal must have a good appetite If yon expect stamina and constitution. The stables In which the teams are kept should be well ventilated, free from flies, and also kept free from foul odors. When yon once make a stunted ani mal yon can never make the same ani mal yon could bad generous feed been given. During the summer, with stocks In the pastures especially, rock salt Is the easiest and most economical way of supply. During the summer especially, saw dust Is one of the best materials that can be used for bedding for the stock In the stables. Farmers Union.

This will be commenced on Sunday afternoon, the 20th of Juno, at 3:U0, bcinK the anniversary on which her majesty, Queen Victoria, -began her long reign, with a full choral service at Trinity Episcopal church, under the immedi ate charge of the Rev. John E. Simp eon, but the Uiahop of Oregon and other clergy will ulso be present and take part in the serivce. This service is the more interesting, as. similar ones will be held all around tho world, commencing with the colonies of New Zealand and Australia, thence to South Africa, and so on westward, until com ing back acror-s the Atlantic the city of St. John's, Newfoundland, will take it up, and send it on aoross tho conti nent till reaching the Pacific ocean it will be sent back to the place of begin ning. Every service will commence at 3:30 with the magnificent "Old Hun dred," "All people that on earth do well," and promptly at 4 o'clock the service will be brought to a temporary stop, when the congregation will join in singing "God Save the Queen." The service will be printed on slips (one of the committee lias generously offered to donate these) so that every one will be enabled to join in the ser vice, and it is expected that a great number will be present. The collec tion will be taken for the benefit pf the hospital fund, which is being gotten op by the BritiBh-born residents of the state of Oregon, for the endowment of a bed in the Good Samaritan hospital. The choir of Trinity chnruh are now practicing the special hymns and tho service under the very able direction of Mr. Lighter, the organist, who has kindly given his services for the occa sion. On Monday evening, June 21, there will be a grand promenade concert and ball at the Armory, at whioh will be given songs 'and niUBio of the various British countries (English, Irish, Scotch and Welsh) by the very best local ar tists, who in several instances will ap pear in the old-fashioned native cos tume, such as the pretty dress of the Welshwoman, with short skirts, red cloak, and the tall sugar-loaf hat. The Armory will be splendidly decorated with flags, etc., and in this connection' ' it may be said that the secretary of the treasury, through Collector Black, has given instructions that flags for this purpose may be brought in from Vic toria, B. C, free of duty, the same to be returned to Victoria. The band of the First regiment will play their best selections, which are always enjoyable. In addition to the inusio the ladies will have booths, representing the different divisions of the United King dom and colonies, at which refresh ments, ice cream, badges, etc., will be sold, and these booths will be decked out in the flags and emblems of the part of the country they represent. A large number of . tickets have already been sold by the various members of the committee, and from this it is eaBV to judge that a very great number of people will be there. The proceeds of the concert are also for the benefit of the hospital fund, and the committee especially desire that every British born resident will go to that concert. The price of tickets lias been put at 20 cents each, with children free when with their friends. This was done for the express purpose of allowing every British-born resident, however humble his station, to attend, and thereby take some part in a celebration that is not likely to occur again in. their lives. While of conrse the concert is specially .for the British-born residents, this does not mean that their American friends are not to come, as if they do they will be most heartily welcomed, and at the same time be sure of a most enjoyable entertainment. On Tuesday evening, June 22, the celebration will be brought to a close by a banquet at the Porltand hotel, which Mr. Bowers promises will sur pass anything that has ever been held in that famous place for such entertain ments. The menu cards are works of art, and will be treasured as souvenirs of the occasion. The dinner will com mence promptly at 8:80, and after the material part lias been disposed of speeches will be given by the best speakers in the city and state, includ ing the governor and others equally well-known. , The committee appeals to allBritiah born residents in the state of Oregon to subscribe to the endowment of the hospital bed. This is not a oity affair, but is known all over the state of Ore gon as one of the most charitable in stitutions, where no one is ever re fused, and no more worthy object could be found with which to celebrate the reign of one of the best and kindest of monarchs, than by giving something for the sick and needy. If you cannot give dollars do your best, and if any wish to subscribe so much a month for two or three they years can make their payments in that way. Any of tho committee will be pleased to acknowl edge the receipt of any money sent them, or it can be sent to Mr. W. K. McKenzie, the secretary, Worcester block, Portland. The committee re quest that all non-residents, who in tend being present at the banquet send in their names at once.
