Dr. Richardnou la nuthorlty for the statement that they breed lu the barren grounds of Arctic America. They mainly feed on rushes, Insects and berries and In turn are very excel lent eating themselves, but are rarely domesticated. Orange Judd Farmer. Farm rrnceo. One of the first evidences of a thrifty farmer Is the state in wheh he keeps his fences and the buildings about the place. A fine farm Is often made un sightly by unnecessary fences, especial ly If of the snake fence description, which harbor weeds and Insects and add to the labor of cultivation. There are too uiuny fences on the average farm, and the day must soon come In which the rails and the expense of other material will make It necessary to bring about a change. The most es sential fence Is the one defining the farm boundaries, and we suppose this will remain necessary until there Is a general arrangement lu the district to do as exists In some other countries to do away altogether with line fences marking the boundaries with posts or permanent uiouunieuts, and the muni cipalities nnforclng strictly the by-laws against cattle stroying at large. For the purpose of keeping stock In the grazing fields, a light, movable fence could be In use, so that different parts of the farm could answer Its pur pose In this respect from year to year. This system may be scc-u In some parts of the States, and answers Its needs well. Much laud can be saved for til lage, and the farm kept In better order. The calculation of the extent of waste fence on a farm will surprise one. We do not think the safety of the crops from depredation need be feared, and If the system prevailed, damage caused by the carelessness of others or willful wrongdoing would meet with due pun ishment and compensation in damages Rural Companion. Mucking Hay Property. The accompanying sketch from the American Agriculturist Bhows the form of a stack that will best turn water. A HAT PROPERLY STACKED. pole extends up through the center of the stack and a bit of canvas of duck over the apex will assist In turning rain, particularly until the hay Is well settled. Light cords extending down on all sides to pins driven In the ground, will aid in keeping the top of the stack from being blown off. The stack should grow gradually larger un til the edge of the "roof" Is reached. Select a knoll for a foundation, or put down boards to keep the moisture from soaking up Into the hay. Cabhave s-eei Crown?. It is worth while for farmers as well as for seedsmen to select the cabbage heads that form earliest,' especially with the early-maturing varieties, and save those plants, root and bead to gether, to plant for seed In the spring. It may be that the cabbage that beads earliest has bad a richer spot of land ilk Mm lff! than those mirrniiiiilliifr It. Hut the fact that It due head earliest Is In Its favor. I'lniit this -hIimko root and head to gether. I.tKM seed will be formed than If you planted the root and sold the rablmge. Itnt what Is the loss on a sin gle early cahlmgc, compared with the gain from cabbage sctd that will pro duct' early cublmgo every year? Peylnn Their 'Vortvn-ren. "Fanners are paying their debts" Is the oft-rcxntcd report of financial In stitutions that have money loaned on farms In the Central anil Western States. No. only Is this true, but profit ing by past experience, once farmers get their debts paid they show little disposition to Iwiitow again. One Ne braska loau company Informs us that because or this determination among farmers. I Is Impossible for them to put out their capital at "favorable rates." lu other words, farmers who are paying their debts, won't borrow agalu even for good business reasons unless the Interest Is fixed at a reason able figure. That Is Just right. Once out of debt, keep nut, but if for solid business purposes a farmer requires more capital, he cannot afford to pay over 5 or per cent for It. I'nless some such rate can be had, let him down without the loau. This Is the most ef fective way of making money "easy." It explains why deposits In Kansas batiks are again Increasing, while their loans are on the decreuse. American Agriculturist. How to Poll Wnt-r. There Is an art In boiling wuter which many even among otherwise good housewives have not learned. It Is to begin wit n a little water, but always use enough so as to cover completely the bottom of the vessel exioscd to the tire. This will Ml very quickly. So soon as water bolls all further heat ap plied to It is wasted. Rut a llttlu more coid water added will not check the boiling, as the fire has only to heat that much additional to the boiling point. In 'old weather the. waste of heat does not a mon r,t to so much, though, even then, to boil a kcttleful of water quick ly and get It to the boiling point Is oft eu a convenience. Rut In hot weother the woste of fuel, and also of heat, that Is then a nuisance, by filllug u kettleful' at first. Is a great mistake. A largo amount will boll mueii quicker by be giuulug with a little titst. Keeping Hillsides cede I. . Many of the steepest hillsides might to be always kept In forest, sowing the seed of a new crop when the old Is cleared off. Rut even moderately steep hillsides will gully badly when culti vated, and especially during the winter and spring, when the surface soil has been loosened by frosts. Even If the water does not gully out channels through the soil, much of the fine, rich soil nt the surface Is likely to be wash ed or blown away. The fact that It Is more difficult to keep hillsides fertile will always give the preference to level farms for cultivation If they have been well underdralned. On the other hand, the hillside makes better pasture than the level fields below It. Cultivator. Ornln Chute and Mran-c. Where the grain Is stored above the cattle or hor.se stable It can be brought down to the first floor by a chute run ning directly down from the bottom of 'the bin or bins. Tut a slide at the bot tom. To be able to measure out vari ous quantities have slides arranged at different distances above the bottom, the spaces between each one and the bottom slide hold ing qunrts, a peck. OKAl.V CHUTE. half bushel, bushel, etc., as desired. One slide will answer for all the openings above the lower one. A bit of leather over the slots Inside will keep the grain from coming out of the open slots. This device will be found a very great con venience and labor saver. Farm Notes. Save everything that will make feed. Re careful not to let any weeds go to seed. Cut oats as soon as the straw begins to turn. Wheat can be stacked with very lit tle curing. Cultivation can be kept up until the crop Is safe. Do not let the timothy and the red top get too ripe. It Is not necessary to thresh oats that are to be fed out. Plow up a good patch of nice loamy soil and sow turnips. Save all of the fruit In some way. Wasting Is loss of profit. If any bay Is stacked outside, let It be timothy, red top or prairie hay. At all times the more comfortable the stock are the better they will grow. If small grain of any kind Is to fee stored be sure that the granaries are In good condition. A little grain or bran fed to the cows dally will help materially to maintain a good milk flow. . The sooner land Intended to be sown to wheat is plowed the better. Plow deep and then fine the surface. If necessary at any time to water plants remember that one good soaking Is worth a dozen sprinklings. When fruit cannot be marketed to good advantage, one of tle best ways of saving it is to evaporate it. Plan to sell off all stock that cannot be wintered profitably. This means all that you cannot feed well and shelter comfortably. Cat oats with wheat bran makes a better feed for the work teams than corn. It Is not so beating and fur nishes the elements for bone and moscla. IT J 7 A FREE EXPOSITION. Manufacturers' r'ltlr to lie Held In Port, land Heptenibcr 4 to October 9. Tlio exposition to be liehl at Port land this (all will be along new lines, differing entirely from any fair ever held in that city. This year the man ufacturers of Oregon will show the people what is Hindu in the state, and with that end in view the, exhibits will consist wholly of manufactured goods made in Oregon. Another ne feature this year will bo that no admission will lie charged. From ull sides we liefti the report that the fuir will be the most interesting and instructive exhibition ever held in the state. One wing of the large exposition building will bo de voted exclusively to live exhibits, and a great many articles will be mude right there in the building. ' The fair is bound to be a grand Sue eel's, as already the entire space of the two main floors is taken up by exhib itors, and we understand the manufac turers have the money on hand to pay all expenses. There is no good reason why Oregon should not be more of a manufacturing state than she is, and if the people will call for goods made at home, instead of using goods of Eastern manufacture, home pay-rolls will increase in a won derful way, making work and happy homes for all. We sincerely believe the fair will do more to enthuse the people than anything clso that could be done in creating a dema"' for home, prod ucts, and showing the necessity of patronizing home manufacturers. The Manufacturers Association of the North west, under whose auspices the fair will be held, deserves great credit for the work it is doing. Tiie fair will be open from Septem ber 22 to October 2, and all railroads have made a reduced rate of one and one-fifth fare for the round trip.'

Women, And consider that in addressing1 Mrs. Plnkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose ex perience in treating' woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy sician, malo or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, a man docs not understand, Bimply because he is a man. - MRS. PIXKIIAM'S STANDING INVITATION. ' Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, ,1s very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE Happy' and Fruitful Marriage.

The queen was once informed by the manager of her Show farm that a Scot tish farmer was a breeder of superior collie dogs, and she thereupon ex pressed a wish to possess one of them. Accordingly, the farmer forwarded two beautiful dogs, and her majesty gnve orders that the next time he came to the farm he should Immediately be tak en up to the castle. The farmer rlTs somewhat uneasy as to how he should comport himself In the presence of royalty, and the- manager put him through his facings. At last the fateful day arrived, and he was ushered luto the presence of the queen. Her majes ty shook hands with him, and said: "I have to thank you for the two beautiful collies you sent me!"

When the regi ment of his son, Lord Douro, was quar tered at Dover, the duke was staying at Walmer Castle, and the officers rode over and left their cards, as a matter of form. Soon after came an invitation from the Duke of Wellington inviting all the officers to dine, but Ignoring his own son. When Lord Douro asked for an explanation, the duke gave It thus, with great good humor: "I moke no distinctions In this service. Those gen tlemen had paid me the compliment of a visit, and I Invited them to dinner. You were not among them, so I omit ted you in tho Invitation." A Gulf line special, filled with the of ficers of the road on a tour of Inspec tion, was flagged by some men working on a section near Colorado Springs.
