Tbe general failure of the wheat crop
In Ohio this year baa caused many
farmers to thluk that their wheat It
"running out," and the desire to change
seed Is more general than It has been
tor some years past. Judging from let
tors received at the experiment station.
While there Is undoubtedly a great
difference In the rigor of different
rictlcs of wheat and their adaptation
to various soils and climates, the tests
made at the experiment station encour
age the belief that a variety adapted to
the soil and conditions of a given lo
cality will tend to Improve, rather than
degenerate. If proper care be exercised
In selecting seed from year to year. To
Illustrate: the two varieties of. wheat
which bead the list at the Ohio station
In a ten-year test,, Valley, which has
given the largest yield per acre, and
Tenqulte's Velvet Chaff, which has glv
en the heaviest average weight per
bushel, are both varletlea which origi
nated or were Drat distributed from
southwestern Ohio, 15 to SO years ago.
These varieties are not proof against
all unfavorable conditions, and every
season they are excelled In yield by
some other sorts, but no one sort has
yet been able to overtop either of them

Boara ! Hot Weather.
A few remarks concerning the hand
ling of' hogs in hot weather may not be
Inopportune. It la generally agreed
that the early hot days of summer are
most fatal to the quickly -grown and
well fattened hog. It seems to be the
rule, too, that the finest hogs In a bunch
are first to succumb. Snippers when
sending hogs to market should be care-
tul not to overcrowd the cars, and
should also be certain to send along
with the shipment a reliable man to
sprinkle the hogs at every opportunity
and to keep them from "piling." which
term Is perhaps more applicable to win
ter. This man shonld also take par
ticular care that he is not charged with
more dead hogs than is proper and cor
rect In unloading, buyers and Inspec
tors would do well to be In no hurry to
weigh during the summer months, as
much trouble can be averted by plac
ing the hogs )n airy sheds with well
' sagged earth floors for a few hours
prior to weighing. To show the Impor
tance of this hint, we may add that we
have seen numbers of hogs die Imme
diately sfter being weighed from cars.
which, of course, means a loss for the
buyer. Some shippers (and even tbosa
who have had bitter experience) are
very careless in this matter of over
crowding hogs In hot weather and rush
ing them through, hence our advice to
buyer and inspector. Oilman's Rural
World.
Improving; Rented Land
It fs bad policy to rent land where It
can by any possibility be bought A
really good farmer la sure to leave the
farm he occupies In better condition
than be found it, and In thla country,
unless a special bargain la made, the
man who has made the Improvements
gets no beneSt thereby, except as he has
made It while occupying the farm.
This matter la managed much better In
Ireland, where for a number of years
the law requires that the landlord shall
pay to the tenant the value of the lm
provementa made.- Renting land la
much more common In Ireland and
England than it la In the United States.
It is also true that in European coun
tries land under cultivation is more apt
to improve than it la In the United
States. ' Heretofore, Indeed, there has
been little occasion for laws to reim
burse the renter for increase of value
in the farm from which he bad been for
several year taking off the cream of
fertility. Probably as the Improvement
of land rather than ita exhaustion be
comes more common the laws will be
amended so a to better apply to the
sew conditions.
Making Vralt Attractive.
Fruit la always sold very largely by
its looks. The highly colored apples
will always bring higher prices than
those of a duller or green color. With
pears there Is a partial exception, as
there are so many superior varieties
of a rusty color that this rather than
bright red has the preference. But
with the pears that do color, the more
highly colored any specimen may be,
the better It Is likely to prove. But
so much depends on an attractive ap
pearance that many growers have
learned that there is money In putting
a spray of green leaves to offset the
color of the fruit This Is almost al
ways done in selling the finest peaches,
and fruit growers are learning to treat
other fruit In the same way.
Cheaper Growlnar of Potatoes
The experience of farmers last year,
and as now seems probable this year,
also impresses the importance of cheap
er production of potatoes as the only
means of making this crop a profitable
one. Last year. Indeed, prices went
so low late in the season that there was
really no market in many places for
potatoes at any price. They were of
fered In cellars or pits to whoever
would take them away. No possible
cheapening of production could give
profit to the holders of potatoes held to
be absolutely worthless, but the leas
that their product had cost them the
mailer will be the loss. The large In
crease last year was mainly from the
growing of potatoes in large amounts
In places where they had never been
grown before as a market crop. In
most cases these potatoes had cost
mor! than the average expense of the
potato crop In localities where this crop
Is largely grown, and when the market
collapsed, the disappointment of the
potato grower was all the greater. The
truth Is that the cheap growing of po
tatoes depends much on climatic con
ditions. The Lake and Aroostook re
gion of Maine, of Western New York,
Ohio and Michigan and the neighbor
hood of Lake Champlaln In New York
and Vermont have the moist climate
during summer which the potato needs
to be grown successfully. Hers the
bulk of uinrkct potatoes In the past
have been grown, and from there also
will probably continue to come the
larger part of the potato erp In the

Sweet Corn nnd Beann.
Both corn and beana were grown by
the American Indians, and the combi
nation of both In the form of sucootttsji
was a dish which the Aborigines taught
their whtte neighbors to like,. It la
curious fact that seed of beana and of
the early varieties of sweet corn plant
ed on the same day will be sufficiently
advanced to cook together at the same
time. The two foods also admirably
supplement each other, the beans sup
plying the nitrogenous or strength-giving
nutrition In which the corn Is defi
cient There are few who do not like
succotash, and the fact that the food ts
healthy and nutritious as well as paint-
able will not detract from its deserved
popularity. ... .
The Apiary.t
It a case of robbing occurs look at
once tor the queen. If she Is missing,
supply a new queen at once.
Frames of honey that are Intendel
for fall use In wintering the bees may
be left In the upper stories.
It will be a good plan to continue to
raise a few queens, so that all the poor
ones may be superseded In the fall.
It Is a mistake to rob the bees or
honey so closely that feeding must bo
resorted to in order to keep them from
starving In winter.
At the close of the honey season the
queen will stop depositing eggs to a
great extent, but a fresh quantity of
brood will be kept up.
Bees, when building comb, plumb
their work, and If the frame Is not In
une with their vertical frame building
it will not stick to the bottom of the
frame.
Bees varnish everything In the hive
towards fall. Ail sealed combs are
varnished to prevent moisture from en
tering the pores of capping and dilut
ing the honey; which causes fermenta
tion by the heat In the hive.

butter, but it also gives it a rye flavor;

Farm Notea.
Brains in business rank above the
capital invested, and capable men re
ceive large salaries. Fanning Is a
business, and should be conducted on a
business basis.
Wire fences have been productive of
great benefit to farms, as they do not
abound In fence corners, as in the case
with rail fences. As the rail fences
vanish there are fewer propagating
places for weeds.
Thirty tons of roots may be grown
on any good acre of land by the right
cultivation. This will feed thirty sheep
for two hundred days, or two hundred
(or a month. This will supply two
thirds of the feeding.
When a farmer haa a theory it Indi
cates that he is a thinker and is willing
to advance In his system of farming.
It Is right to test all theories, but it
should be done In a limited manner.
Every farmer should have an experl'
mentlng plot for testing fruits and
vegetables, as those adapted for one
farm may not be suitable for the next
If given the chance, a horse, a cow,
or a hog will ilex up the ashes in a
burnt-up district of forest; something
In the ashes satisfies a natural craving
of animals. Mixed with charcoal and
little salt It should be constantly
kept near swine. There Is, therefore,'
more than one useful purpose to which
wood ashes can be put on the farm.
Sometimes there Is more to do than
to turn out our cows to pasture in the
summer and then milk them twice a
day. Unless the pasture Is ample It
will pay to feed also a little grain. Even
with a full pasture this is sometimes
advisable. The more succulent food
requires more salt too; and above all
things, see that there Is pure water in
plenty.
The farmer. In making war on in
sects, should learn to distinguish
friends from foes. Many Insects are
destroyed when .engaged In the work
of preying on the kinds that damage
crops. Birds should also be protected,
especially wrens, which will build their
nests and multiply on the farm If suit
able boxes are provided for them with
openings too small for the entrance into
the boxes of sparrows.

Special Corrcapoodenee,
Portland, Or., Sept 22. The trip to
this plaoe was pleasant as the weath

morning; and that evening wo attend

last year. The musio hall is a revela
tion of beauty this year. Over the
slugs is a large Old Glory in eleotrio
lights; and every ten feet a row of in
osndesoeuts arouud the oouoave roof
illuminates the hall softly and beau
tifully. The fruit exhibits are not so large
this year as last; nor is the art gallery
quite se full. The first floor exhibits,
however, surpass in artistic taste those
of 'lo.
Saturday night, the 26th, wss Elks'

season was present There really was i
not room enough for comfort Ten I
thousand people occupy a great deal of
space; and 1 have an idea that over
thau numbxr was present Governor
Lord presided over the Elks' cere
monies. The lower floor was given np
to the Elks, who, as Gypsies, had
tents, before each of whioh was an ele

Monday night, the' 28th. waa the
Merchants' carnival, or Mardi Gras
This was a real panorama of the manu

however, must go over till my next let
ter. On entering, the first exhibit is that
of Olds ds King, greatest dry goods
and housefuruiihiugs store of the
Northwest Cut glass, exquisite table
china and brio-a-brao occupy a large
spa;e. You know, I always liked this
house. Last Fourth, it was the only
'big retail bouse shut all day. It gave
twice aa muoh to the celebration fund
aa competitors who kept open half day
to "recoup." Olds & King's fall cata
logue is ont, free to all by mail on re
quest With it one may shop as well
j by mail as in person. Olds and I are
i old friends, and his house's word is aa
good as any government bond.
There are many novelties at the im
position. Every afternoon and even
ing there is excellent musio, besides
special features in the evenings.
When yon think that all this wealth of
amusement, entertainment and instruc
tion may be had for twenty-five oeuts
for adults and ten cents for children.
it is easy to
see that in spite of hard
times, the ball presents an animated
scene every night
It felt like receiving old friends when
I looked at Mitchell, Lewis & Staver
Co.'s great display of farm wagons,
wood carts, and agricultural machin
ery. The wagon I bought of this house
four years ago has never cost me one
dollar for repairs. Tbe firm haa re
moved to immense quarters at First
and Taylor, where in spite of dull
times, its enormous business has grown.
This comes from selling only best
goods on guarantee, and, as far as my
experience goes, at less dollars thau
elsewhere.
Monday I took a walk through the
new city ball here. It is truly a mag
nificent structure. In years to oome
the wisdom of having such munloipal
accommodations will be jusitfied in
publio approval at the ontlay which at
one time caused no inconsiderable
difference of opinion among members
of all parties.
Tbe biggest clothing store I ever saw
is the Famous, Second and Morrison.
Wbats' more, the great business waa
built on the one prioe system, with
best $10 men's suits and $10 overcoats
aa leaders. Tbey perhaps sell more
$6.50 macintoshes than all Portland
put together, mail orders coming
from farmers and logging oamps all
over the Northwest Visitors are al
ways welcome. The vast establish
ment is worth as much to see as any
feature of the Exposition.
,, Our little party will be here for a
week or two longer. Tell the boys we
are having a pretty good time, but will
be home to vote. EZEKIEL.
A Daring Hold-Up. '
Charleston, W. Va., Sept 29. A

came from tbe West about a year ago,
learned that W. L. Wilson, bookkeeper
and paymaster of the Longdate Com

men. When the train reached a lonely
spot in the mountains, Thompson, who
had boarded the train, held np those in

He grabbed tbe money from Wilson
and jumped from the engine. Wilson

From the Ktamlnur, Ban Franoiioo, rl,
Residents of the Mission District ol
San Franoisoo have for months been
marveling over the peouliar case of
Mrs. Anna Cayford, the wife of Rich
ard Cayford, who resides al 818 Seven
teeutli street Several years ago Mr.
and Mrs, Cayford took up their resi
dence in the Hawaiian Islands, where
Mr. Cayford, who is by trade a black
smith, -applied himself diligently al his
occupation, until at length he bad, by
reason of his hard work and frugality,
placed himself and family upon a fair
way to prosperity. ' He had begun to
look toward to tbe enjoyment of a
quiet, happy life upon the beautiful
islands of the Paoitlo, and in his fnnoy
had built for himself aud his family
comfortable little home, nestled snugly
among the deep and fragrant foliage of
that distant land. His wife shared
with bim in tbe ooutemplation of the
happiness that the future apparently
had in store for them. She bad ar
rived at the age at which rest and oon-
tentment oount for se muoh in a
woman's life, when she was suddenly
stricken with nervous prostration.
Her condition became very serions, and
her physician advined her that she
must leave the islands if she wished to
regain ber health. Acting upon this
advice, Mr. Cayford diiposed of his
business and removed to San Fran,
cisoo. Mrs. Cayford improved slightly
with the change of climate until July,
1893, when she was stricken bv par
alysis of the left arm aud leg, and was
entirely deprived of the use of those
limbs, having to be carried about th
house by her bnsbaud for a period of
two months. She was treated for some
time by a physician, but he was able
only partly to. relieve ber. bhe was,
able to drag herself about tbe house.
but there was no strength in either of
tbe affected limbs. -
It was while she wss in this condi
tion that she noticed in a paper the ad
vertisement of Williams' Pink Pills.
She determined to gel a box of them
aud try tbem, thinking, as she said,
that at least she oould not be injured
by them. Mrs. Cayford tells of the
relief she experienced from tbe time
she began taking tbe pills, and her
story is told in each plain, straight
forward manner that it la given in her
own words:
"When I first began taking Wil
liams' Pink Pills." said Mrs. Cayford,
"I bad absolutely no strength in either
limb of the left side of my body. The
treatment of my physician had partly
relieved the paralysis, bnt after he bad
applied all his remedies I waa still in
a practically helpless condition. Before (
I bad taken one full box of the pills I
began to feel a return of strength in i
the limbs that bad been so long useless, j
Feeling reassured by the first effect ol
the pills upon me, I purchased a sec
ond box, and continued to take them
until I had used six boxes, when the
last trace of paralysis bad left my body
and I had regained tbe foil nse of my
limbs. You cannot imagine how de
lighted I was when 1 felt that my old
time
activity was returning, it re
minded me of tbe days when I was so
strong aud healthy at my island borne.
I do not know what stronger testimony
1 oould give as to the merits of Wtl
liam's Pink Pills than to say that they
have restored me to such a degree of
strength that I now do all my own
work without the least inconvenience,
which is as muoh as I ever did before
I was stricken with paralysis. But
that is not all. I almost forgot to ssy
Ijow tbe pills bave relieved me of a
certain besitanoy in speech, wbloh has
troubled me for years. My tongue nsed
to become 'thick,' end I would lisp
most dreadfully and oould not help my
self. I notioed that after I began tak
ing the pilla I conld talk more easily,
and finally I was entirely relieved of
tbe lisping that affected my speech. I j
have taken the trouble to recommend
tbe pills to an old lady who is afflicted
with paralysis. I have not seen her
since she began taking them, but her
husband told me, just the other day,
that she bad been greatly benefited by
them."
Mrs. Cayford'a friends are amased
at ber sudden recovery from suob a se
vere paralytio stroke, end stand in
wonderment while she repeats tbe story
of her suffering and ber cure.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are sold in
boxes (never in loose form, by the doz

Beware
Of the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Msrsbfield, Mo.,
writes: "For six years I bave been s
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
tbe glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. C,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After sis
months' constant treatment bere, say
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moral of the gland. At this critical mo
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against sll pstent medicines, 1 be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle tbe enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over f iyo."
This experience is like thstof all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is tbe only
real blood remedv; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perms-
