made some two years ago, of three town
ships of land on the other side of the
river,' within the limits of the Northern

teachers the sisters of the academy are.
It would be utterly impossible within
any reasonable limits, to attempt to de
scribe the execution of every item of the
programme and it is needless to say
that the large hall of the academy was
filled to overflowing. The stage was
tastefully decorated and the motto "The
palm is not won without the dust of la
bor" was done in a very chaste and
beautifully simple style, as were indeed,
all the other adornments. The opening
overture, a duet, executed on fonr pianos
by eight young ladies, playing to the
same beat without a mistake, was finely
executed, as were also the trios and
quartettes which followed in due order,
The class recitations were very fine, one
of which fixed itself indeilibly on my
memory. It was entitled "Our Father,"
and a great number of little children,
too many to easily count, took part in it.
iuich petition of the Lord s prayer was
rendered, in connection with a suitable
illustration and with fitting inflection
and attitude. The whole was tourhingly
and tenderly pathetic, and was executed
by the little folks to perfection. An ex
tremely imposing part of the programme
was the rendering of the Cantata, "The
Rainbow," with the goddess Light in
spotless gauze and golden crown, as
"mother of the rainbow," and twenty
one young ladies, each three represent
ing one of the "seven sisters," or colors
of the rainbow, and dressed in colors
adapted to the words they sang. It was
very fine. There were numerous pieces
given by a countless number ot little
ones, and as each piece was recited 1
could not help saying, "Fine, fine, you
sweet little girls ; surely your teachers
deserve very great praise." And cer-
tainiy the valedictory by the three young
lady graduates, Misses Leah Jeffers,
Margaret C. Larsen, and Anna Dufur
exhibited talents and training of a very
high order. The "Farewell," a solo
with vocal accompaniment,' was very
touching and impressive, and was exe
cuted in a manner suggestive of culture
and power. 'And last, but not least, the
closingaddress by the archbishop, deliv
ered in such a fine, pleasing manner, so
combined instruction with amusement
that as the great crowd moved away, a
happy smile lighted up every face. I
must not forget the conferring of grad
uating honors, diplomas, and gold
medals, accompanied with wreaths and
chaplets, to the three graduates, nor the
bestowal of medals on the following
pupils : to Cassie Thorburn for Christian
doctrine, to Mary Scully and Katie Bro-
gan for dilligence, and to Lily Hinton
for good conduct. The entire perforin-
ance was a rare treat to the hundreds
who were honored with invitationsi and
reflects the highest credit on the excel
lent training of the ladies of the academy

of the pupils.

heard that the stock business was not

that most of the other districts east of
Deschutes bear another's brand. I only
found two schools to visit on my trip,
The settlements are so widely scattered,
I found it almost impssible to get in

JNow, Mr. ixlitor, when I hold up

of the county. I have tried to do my
duty in visiting schools, but I. may have
failed. If there is a school out there
that has not had a visit from the suier

with my visit.
Miss Katie Cooper is teaching her
fifth term in the Antelope school, No.

the county, having taught in The Dalles
public school two years. There were
thirty-one pupils present. The house
and furniture is poor with no apparatus,
I was disappointed in this for I expected
something better in this lively little
town. However, they are planning to
build, and though no definite steps have
been taken, I shall expect to find a nice
house next time, for I understand the
citizens are generous in subscribing for
school purposes. I held a meeting in
the evening but on account of short
notice not many were present though a
pleasant time was had in singing and
talking on school business.

The programme was a very complete
one and was carried out without any
breaks. - The regular church choir was
augmented by some of the members of
the Sabbath school choir and their rendi

desired. The singing .by the school
which was in charge of Mr. Jesse Cran
dall was really excellent, showing that
the school was well drilled and kept in
good practice by him. - All the little

songs and deserve credit for the excel
lence of their work. The collection,
which goes to missionary Sabbath
school work, was an unusually large one.

he has succeeded in winning first place
and the highest honors over nearly two
hundred candidates at the final exami
nation of the college of physicians and
surgeons of Ontario, held in that city in
April last.
The examination includes oral and
written in each subject, and to secure
honor it is necessary that a candidate
obtain at least seventy-five per cent on
the oral and written combined.
Dr. Sutherland won first .class honors
in the following seven outof nine depart-
partments : Medicine, surgery non-
operative, medical and surgical anatomy,
midwifery non-operative, midwifery op
erative including diseases of women and
3 children,-; medical jurisprudence ' and
sanitary science.
As mentioned in our issue, of Monday
last, Dr. Sutherland won first place also
at his primary examination at the same
college, being at that time the only one
of 234 candidates who obtained honors
in every department. Surely such a
record ought to insure for the doctor the
confidence of the people of our city.

At the first introduction of the silo in
this cou ntry , corn was the only crop cured
in it ; but it was found that ensilage of
grass was superior. Since 1880 nothing
has been contrived so beneficial to the
American farmer as the silo. It has helped
to furnish the necessary supply of butter,
cheese, and beef when all other means
have failed. To the farmers of New En
gland, and the northwest.during the long,
severe winters, the silo has become al
most indispensible.
As soon as stock becomes used to ensi
lage they eat it ravenously. In spite of
what chemests say practically it is found
that stock keep just as well, in fact bet
ter when fed ensilage than when fed the
same kind of fodder dry. Do we ourselves
not get more good from something we
relish for dinner than from twice as much
of something we do not relish? For the
cow we must have a variety of foods and
of a succulent nature to produce the larg
est per cent, of butter.
In building a silo only four simple
principles are to be borne in mind. The
silo is practically an air-tight box or bin.
In building it on the ground we must see
to it that water cannot enter its interior.
First, a good foundation of stone or ce
ment, if the silo is built by itself. If it
is built within the corner of a barn, we
can take advantage of the barn founda
tion on two sides of the silo. Make
these sides a little stronger by adding a
few studding. For the other sides set up
2x8, or 2x10 in case of a deep silo, and
we have the frame complete. Make the
sidewalls perfectlv safe from outward
pressure. If the foundation wall be
started 16 inches at the bottom carry it
no to where you want the studding to
begin ; then leave six or eight inches in
side and carry the remainder up to four
or five inches further, thus forming a
ledge for studding to rest upon, and to
keep them from springing outward.
The corners must be stayed by iron rods
or plank framed thus that the corners
are locked, as no air must be admitted
lhe outside of the silo may be of any
rough material. The first covering on
the inside may be some cheap material
that will make an even surface. Over
this nail tarred building paper giving it
a good lap, and cover the same with
matched dressed lumber free from knots.
Leave a three-foot doorway, into which
you sup matched planking trom tne
ground up as you fill the silo. To pro
tect the lumber lining the silo from the
hot vegetable juices, paint it with hot
gas tar and resin in the proportion of one
gallon of tar to one pound of resin. ' This
will dry in a day or two.
A soon as you have plowed the soil, in
spring, plant the corn for your silo, then
it will come up ahead of the weeds.
Some prefer drilling with a grain drill,
making the rows three to four feet apart,
dropping the kernels about eight inches
apart. At this distance we can get an
ear on every stalk, which is all-important.
Per acre eight to ten quarts of seed
will be required. It is considered more
important to secure grain on the ensilage
crop than a large yield of fodder per
acre; quality is here more important
than quantity. Fodder that has an ear
on every stock is more nutritious, in
corn that nears maturity there is rela
tively less woody material and a de
crease of acid, or more sugar. The time
to cut it down is when the corn begins
to glaze. The fodder should not get ripe
as a certain amount of moisture is neces
sary for curing process, and ripening
converts certain digestible constituents
into indigestible woody fiber, causing a
decrease of the flesh formers the albn
menoida and carbo-hydrates. However,
corn should reach maturity before cut
ting for the silo.
The fodder must be cut and elevated
into the silo by a machine. Several
farmers can buy the machine and power
together, and move from one farm to an
other. Slow or rapid filling of the silo
will do equally well. It may be opened I
at once or remain untouched for months.
Ensilage is deficient in albumenoids and
the best authorities agree that bran, oats,
linseed meal or cotton seed meal should
be fed with it. Feed the ensilage evenly
from the surface. A bushel of the loose
ensilage is enough for a cow or a horse,
or ten sheep. With safety a larger
amount of grain can be fed with ensilage
than with dry hay or fodder. Some
prominent stockmen consider ensilage
superior to good pasture. Many of the
best dairymen prefer ensilage ; in w iscon
sin and New York they make butter
from cows fed on ensilage, at 10 to 13
cents a pound. It increases the yield of
butter and milk. T. J . Rodgers of Bing
hampton, N. Y, keeps 100 cows on fifty-
five acres of land and makes butter at 13
cents pound. - The cry that ensilage
spoils milk is proved false by the testi
mony of such men as Hiram Smith of
Wisconsn, John Gould of Ohio, E. A
Powell and Col. E. D. Curtis of New
York. '
Many horsemen find ensilageexceltent
for colts and brood mares. They keep
fall colts thrifty on it during the long
cold winters. Col. Curtis, the best au
thority on hogs in the country, says en
silage is also valuable for swine. .
Cows give good returns for a food that
they relish, hence the success from ensil
age in the dairy. The silo enables the
farmer to make butter during a season
of drought or when prices are high.
With ensilage, winter dairying is becom
ing the rule in the east. With a yield of
fifteen to twenty tons of ensilage corn
per acre, an equivalent of five or six tons
of good hay, we can keep much more
stock and keep it better than less stock
on a larger acreage.

the fight between Corbett and Jackson
was no fight at all. The men appeared
to be afraid of each other. Corbett,
however, he says, had much the better
of it, and would have been the winner if
the contest had been to a finish. Sulli
van thinks Corbett is a good man and a
good scientific boxer. The champion
confesses he has been waiting to see
what the result would be between Cor
bett and Jackson, and Slavin and Kil
rain, before announcing his plans. He
feels sure that Kilrain will coine out a
victor in the contest with Slavin. He
thinks whichever man wins, he will feel
anxious to meet Uorbett. If such a :
match takes place in the near future,
Sullivan says he will meet the winner. I
Should he fight the winning heawweight j
he would feel he ought to dictate the
terms. He has decided never again to
participate in a ring fight with bare
knuckles, and London prize ring rules
he will never have anything more to do
with. He will, however, meet the best
man in America for a stated number of
rounds with small gloves, providing the
purse is large enough.

The Prince of Wales Hay Figure in- a
Sensational Divorce Case.
London, June 13. Today it is stated
on what' appears to be good authority
that a divorce suit, instituted by Lord
Brooke, is imminent, and that the
Prince of Wales will be named as co
respondent. Whether it arises liecause
of the recent scandal and his presence,
by special request of the prince, at
Tranby Croft, cannot now lie stated.
Society is all worked up over the matter,
and it may be that revelations will be
made rivaling the sensations of the Mor
daunt euit. Certainly the gossips inti
mate that the prince in some way com
municated the charges against Sir Wil
liam Gordon Gumming to Ladv Brooke.
and that she probably, in supposed con-
naentiai conversation, let the story out:
hence all the recent hubbub. Whv she
was intrusted with the secret concerning
tne signet oi tne nusn document is
mystery, which is only heightened bv
the sensational divorce proceedings talk
now indulged in. Lady Brooke has
thus, if the story is reliable, immensely
increased the troubles which surround
the heir to the throne on all sides.

London, June 13. It is rumored the
Prince of Wales is indebted to the Bar
ings in a large- amount, ana is .being
pressed for payment by the liquidators
of the company's anairs. It is this al
leged fact, it is said, which caused the
recent revelation of the financial condi

assistance of the impecunious prince

men of The Dalles will give a picnic a
week from next Sunday. The Chroni
cle does not believe they will choose
Sunday for any such an occasion. We
feel sure they have more respect for the
Sabbath than to. desecrate it by a picnic
which if held any other day would be
attended by many of -the. friends of the
railroad boys, who would not go on Sun
day. - When the polls close tonight it will be
found that the honored name of J. B.
Condon whom Moody has used to head
his ticket has been swapped off on every
band to secure the Moody treasurer.
