Farmers living on the east fork of Hood river havo determined to utilize the water of that stream bv building an irrigation ditch four feet wide at the bottom and about the same depth. Tho head of the ditch will be 1500 feet above the Colum bia river.

Tho American : Agriculturist, in its annual review of the harvests, to bo puplished in its September issue, estimates that tho farm profits this year will be 1,000,000,000 more than during the recent ' years of depression. On tho basis of the present pronpects the corn eiop of 1801 is estimated to be 2,000,000,000 bushels; wheat, 500,000,000 bushels; and oats, 022,000,000 bushels. The total yield of wheat, corn and oats on the basis of this estimate will be 28.8 per cent, greater than lust year, and 10.7 per cent, above the average of the precending eleven years. On this basis of value of the corn crop will be to the farmers, $1,000, 000,000; wheat, $500,000,000; and oats, $250,000,000.

Im- mensely increased sums will be sent to the United States for our produce Of course ulterior influences may interfere with these brilliant predic tions, but it is almost certain the farmers will receive better profits on their crops than ever before. CARE OF MILK. No drugs are fit to put in milk to destroy germs. Salycilic acid and borax are the least harmful, but no one, unless he has them for sale, will advise their use. Heating is the only safe method, but simple boiling does not destroy all the spores, lo kill them a heat of 240 degrees Fahrenheit is required, or alternate boiling and cooling for three days. l ne practice ot boiline milk is rapidly growing in tho cities. Doc tors prescribe it and some furnish it to patients, being convinced that without it their treatment would be of little use. Nine-tenths of all the cases of cholera infantum aro due to bad milk. 1 he best way to boil milk is to put it in a bottle with a long neck plugged with cotton. Subject it to steam tor an hour, then cool rapidly Healthy milk is more digestible before boiling, but bad milk must bo boiled or it cannot be used with safety. Two hours' boiling will kill everything, but ten minutes' boiling three days in succession will be equally effective. The taste of milk is changed at 160 decrees. At 155 degrees Fahrenheit the taste is not changed. Heating to that degree six days in succession will render milk sure from souriug,' but this is not practicable. A more practical way is to heat to 155 degrees, then cool to near the freezing point, when it will keep many times longer than if not treated. Cooling alone will also greatly delay souring if done as 6oon as drawn. ' - THg FRUIT TREE PKSTS. Now that the authorities that be have forbidden, under penalties, the sale of any infected fruit, the necessity of eradicating the fruit trees pest is brought right home to every orchardist. The following, from an exchange, is pertinent in this connection : The apple crop of Oregon has heretofore been a voluntary crop. Apples have crown spontaneously and their production has been so favorable and at such littlo expense, that this valuable fruit has beeurneglected and left to the ravages of injurious and obnox ious pests. The effects are now seriously felt, and apprehensive of impending danger of complete fail ures in recent years, the fruit and its enomics are beginning at this late day to receive much needed attention. A few years ago during the apple season "the orchards of tho valley were luxuriant with the luscious products, and many bush els were allowed to go to waste. The farming ocoumunity regarded apples as a crop of secondary importance on account of their inexpensive production and but lit tle attetion was manifested in tho outcome. But to-day it is different. The constant immigration puts larger demands on the apple than the market can supply and the pests are spreading rampant. INSECT DESTROYERS. The finding of antidotes for the voracions insects that prey 'upon the fruit, vegetable and grains, has been one of the questions that has engaged the earnest attention of scientific agriculturists and horti culturists, with varying success. It win be remombered that Mr. Alfred Kceble, of California, . introduced tho lady bug into that state from Australia with such good result in tho destruction of fruit insects. lie is about to make a second trip j to that lar-oft continent in search of a destroyer of tho grasshopper, said to exist there, and it is hopeful he may find it. People in the Eastern states years ago who were fighting tho so-called Colorado potato bug made very little progress against it until an insect that destroyed the eggs of the potato bug came to their relief. TKSTISd THK COWS. The Farm Journal says a New York dairyman doubled the yield of butter per cow of his herd in one year by testing every cow and disposing of the poor ones and feed ing a little better his new herd.

Good roads are certainly a joy forever. It takes money to build them, but it pays in the long run. Clarke county needs better roads, and not, another year should go by without the building of at least two good roads through the entire length of the county. A very great improvement has been made on the principal county roads running out from Portland within the past two or three years, especially the Base line, Section line and Powell's roads. A gentleman who has lately been traveling over these roads says they are among the best he Has ever seen, and are a credit to the county. Tho trees and brush along the roads have been cut and the stumps removed the full width; the roads have been rounded and made straight, and a good, heavy coat ing of gravel placed on them, and now they are hard and smooth, and it is a pleasure to drive over them. If tho business men of. Vancouver had ten years ago devoted more time and money, in securing first-class roads leading from this city through tho body of the country, Vancouver would to-day be enjoying a greater degree of prosperity. Good roads are always a good investment. Vancouver Register. Specimens of pure rock salt were brought into Ellensburg from the Big Bend last week.
