Heave, la not ao common ft disease
among horses as It waa In former years.
It mar be described as a chronic dis
ease of the breathing organs, without
Inflammation, characterised by a pe
culiar breathing, the breath being
drawn in with ease, but breathed out
with difficulty, and by two distinct ef
forts. The Immediate cause la the rup
ture or debility of the small cells In the
lungs, so the animal canont expel the
air he haa drawn In without an extra
aud double effort It Is obvious, there
fore, that the symptoms are readily de
tected. '
Authorities say that when the disease
Is established It Is Incurable, though It
can be alleviated materially. If the
disease Is not too Intense soma relief
may be obtained by giving one-half to
one grain of arsenic In form of Fow
ler's solution daily for several weeks.
One authority recommends the follow
ing prescription: "Thirty grains each
of calomel, digitalis, opium and cam
phor; make Into a ball and give once
or twice a day." After the first week
the calomel should be omitted. But

green haa been mixed and scattered
around the stems of the plants will
make short work of these pests. The
grubs are very fond of ths bran, and In
eating It will get enough poison to kill
them. This method of getting rid of
grubs will not be practicable If fowls
are allowed to come near the patch, as
they are also rery fond of the bran.

Alkali la Weatera Leads.
In an Instructive paper recently read
before a California farmers' institute
by Prof. B. W. Hllgard, this subject
was broadly considered, and It was
shown that alkali la the result of disin
tegration, of rocks and found only
where rainfall Is too little to carry It
off In solution. The more common salts
are Glauber's salts, common salt and
sal soda. The test named occasions
the principal Injury by girdling plants
at the surface. In connection with
these salts are found others whtoh are
among the most valuable elements of
fertility, mainly salta of potash and
lime, and found In greaiter proportions
In arid than in humid lands. These
salts frequently appear on the surface
only after Irrigation. In such cases it
will be found that they existed below
the surface and were carried In solu
tion by water used In irrigation and
left on the surface by evaporation. A
remedy Is deep cultivation with thor
ough pulverisation of the surface In
orchard cultivation, to reduce evapora
tion to a minimum; or shading the
ground with such crops as alfalfa. The
mors Important discoveries are that
the Australian salt bush will thrive
on strong alkali lands and that they
have also produced large yields and a
fine quality of sugar beets.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Feeding Pin Kegalarly.
Much depends In feeding pigs on giv
ing their food at regular intervals.
Then the pig will very soon become
nsed to this, and will not expect his
food until the next regular feeding
time comes. The old aaytag that a
squealing pig loses a pound of fat every
time It squeals haa this much of truth
In It, that the Irregular times for feed
ing which occasions most of the squeal
ing Is the surest way to destroy diges
tion.. This In pigs is not so strong as
Is often supposed. The pig is greedy
by nature. Others must see to It that
It does not eat more nor oftener than
Is good for it.
Ralains Dacha.
In raising ducks set the eggs under
hens; when hatched remove to a box
Uned with paper and kept In a warm
place with all the sunshine possible.
When two days old put In a board pen
during day time. Feed bread soaked In
water and pressed dry. Do not give
them water to swim In until three
weks old. Dust with Persian Insect
powder once a week; when four weeks
old feed on corn bread soaked In sweet
milk; young onion tops cut fins and
mixed with their feed are healthful.
After four weeks old they will thrive
on almost any diet and will grow with
leas water to swim In than is generally
apposed. Always keep water for
drinking as pure and dean as possible,
changing often and putting gravel In
the dish where water la kept
Btraisht Saw for Hoed Crepe.
So much of the work of cultivation is
now done with horse power that It is
more than ever Important that all rows
of hoed crops shall be as nearly on a
straight line as possible. Unless this
Is done it Is Impossible to guide the
cultivator so ss to avoid destroying
more or less plants, beside leaving
seeds that cannot be thereafter uproot
ed except with great difficulty. When
a weed is not killed by cultivation It Is
made all the more thrifty, for the prun
ing of the roots which cultivation gives
makes new roots put forth Just as It
. does for the crop. It Is for this reason
that after harrowing both ways over
corn ground before the grain is up, the
cultivator should be set to work be
tween the rows just so soon as the
rows can be seen. This will destroy
any weeds that the barrowings may
have missed.
Oyaaaaa ea Potatoes
Ths broad leaves of the potato are
what the crop very largely depends
upon for maturing the tuber. It is kn
portant that obey be kept green as long
as possible. The fact that snvsum or
land plaster attracts moisture makes U
an especially good application for ths
potato crop. The first use of parts
green to destrop the potato larva ought
to be made with gypsum. By attract
ing moisture from tbe air and thus
keeping the leaves moist more of
the potato beetles' eggs will be de
stroyed before they hatch. '
Kicking Caws.
a western agricultural writer says
that there are just as good milkers
among cows that do not kick as there
are among those that do. This, we
think. Is hardly the fact It is tbe ten
derness In the udder, caused by the
presence of a large amount of milk.
that makes careless handling of the
teats very painful Tbe result Is that
the cow becomes a kicker, and soon
this grows Into a habit not easily brok
en, it is usually the fault of tbe man
who breaks the heifer to being milked
who Is responsible for her character as
a milker. If the first operations on the
teats are gentle, drawing milk slowly
until the hag Is somewhat eased, milk
ing is a soothing and pleasure-giving
process ror the cow. For the first few
times the heifer is milked she should
have some appetizing feed set before
her, which she can eat while the milk
Is being drawn. This should always
be given when there Is danger that the
cow will hold up her milk. The cow Is
a one idea animal. When she is eating
heartily she cannot easily think of any
thing else. American Cultivator.
Fowlng Oata by Hand.
There are many farmers who find
an advantage to aow other grams with
drill, ao as to apply fertilizers with
the seed, who yet think the oat crop
comes eurer sown on a coarsely bar-
rowed surface and dragged In. The
reason probably Is that thus tht grain
la apt not to be covered ao deeply aa It
is by the drill. Tbe better fitting the
seed bed has, the deeper the wheels
sink, carrying tine drill tubes and the
seed grain to greater depth than Is
good for the grain crop. American Cul
tivator.

Probably the best use that can be
made of roadsides Is to plant fruit trees
beside them, especially of those that
are somewhat hard to gather In quan
tity. We have In mind a farmer who,
many years ago, planted a long row of
cherry trees on the roadside, and far
enough from the fence so that the trees
did not Injure the crops Inside the fields.
xnese trees never railed to rurnish a
paying crop, and some years the cheortes
were sold on the tree for four to five
dollars per tree, and still paid a good
profit to the man who bought the fruit
Very few cherries were taken by psss
ersby, though tbe trees were beside a
well-traveled road. Most people while
going along a highway are too busy to
stop, and tbe tramps wno were not too
busy were generally too lazy. Probably
If peaches or pears had been thus ex
posed the result would have been differ
ent Even then a few roadside trees
for the public would be apt to lessen
depredations on the neighboring or
chards, which near cities or large vil
lages are the causes of much loss to
fruit growers. Exchange.

Don't have the flocks of hens too
large. If you have more than seventy-
five or eighty, they ought to be sep
arated into smaller flocks.
An egg contakaa from 25 to 27 per
cent solid matter, nearly 14 per cent
albumen. That means that laying hens
need food rich In albuminous matter
meat, oatmeal, milk, bran, etc.
While poultry will not thrive on neg
lect, k la well to remember that over
feeding and lack of exercise are also
fruitful sources of loss In the poultry
yard, ;
If we would keep up tbe vigor and
fecundity of our flocks we must Infuae
new blood Into them. If service or
profit or vigorous growth is desired,
there must be a frequent change of;
cockerela in fine flocks.
Weed out the flocks, disposing of
really old stock and the undesirable
young. A few good bens, well oared
for, will raise more chickens this sum
mer than if a great flock la crowded
together In unhealthy coops.
A Boston commission merchant says
that If farmers would marlet all the
chickens and eggs they can spare each

Wa have witnessed almost an entire
ffeek of heavy dragging markets with
an undertone of weakness that haa been
an entire reversal of tbe feeling exhib
ited heretofore, and prices have daily
declined fractionally with no rally
whatever. The news has also under
gone an entire ohange, and bear news is
now plentiful In almost every direction.
The statistical situation however is as
strong as ever, but haa lost its force as
an argument because foreigners will not
pay any attention to it, and seem to be
utterly indifferent to the fact that our

erate, even at the decline. Last week's
exports amounted to 8,620,000 bushels,
while reoeipts in the Northwest have
shown surprisingly large and have been
one of the causes of the decline. Re
ports from the winter wheat states are
very bright, and harvesting has com
menced in Texas, Oklahoma and Kan
sas. As yet there is little to judge by,

there diya not seem to be much hope
for better prices. Our visible supply

Women suffer from certain diseases
peculiar to their sex and usually hava
great delicacy in speaking of suoh ills.
Just why, we cannot say. There would
seem to be no more reason for silenoe in
suoh matters than there is about the
ordinary every day ills. Occasionally,
however, a womau of strong sense li
found, and is an exception to the rule.
Such a one is Mrs. Rosie 8. Thompson,
of 819 East First street, Los Angeles,
Cal. This is what she says:
"For five or sx years I was seriously
ill with female complaint. I could
not go about, I suffered intense pain,
and at times I was hardly able to raise
myself up in bed. I was then living
in San Bernaidino and I consulted a
physician who thought he could cure
me. For seven months I waa under
his care taking his prescriptions, but
lie did me no good at all, and I grew
worse instead of better.-. Finally I tried
another physician and I was under his
care fur several months, but he did me
no more 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
ple, and 1 resolved to try them. I be
gan taking the puis. The euect was
wonderful. Almost immediately I be
gan to improve. I have taken 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 aa well
as I ever was in my life and have had
no return of my complaint
"I make this statement voluntarily
and in the hope that it may lead others
now suffering as I suffered to try these
pills.

son, but tha Bishop of Oregon and
other clorgy will also ba present ami
take part in the svrlvces. This service
is the more interesting, as similar ones
will be held all around the world,
commencing with tha ooloniea of New
Zealand and Australia, thence to South
Africa, and ao on westward, until coin

of 8t. John's, Newfoundland, will take
it up, and send it on across the conti

8:30 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 "Uod Save the Queen.''
The service will he printed on slips
(one of the committee lias generously
oilervu to donate these) so that every
one will be enabled to join iu the ser
vice, and it is expected that a great
number will be present. The collec

hospital fund, which is being gotten
up by the British-born residents of the
state of Oregon, for the endowment of
a bed in the Good Samaritan hospital

sion. On Monday evening, June SI, there
will be a grand promenade concert and
ball at the Armory, at which will be
given songs and musio 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 siiort 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 Vie-
to in, B. C, free of duty, the same to
bo returned to Victoria. The band of
the First regiment will play their beat
selections, which are always enjoyable.
In addition to the musio the ladies
will have booths, representing the
different divisions of the United King
dom snd colonies, at which refresh
ments, ice cream, badges, etc., wilt 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 easy
to judgo 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
liorn resident will go to that concert.
The price of tickets has been put at 85
cents each, with children free when
with their frienda This was dona 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 course the concert is specially
for the British-born residents, this
dors not mean that their American
friends are not to come, as If they do
they will be most heartily welcomed,
ami at the same time be sure of a most
enjoyable entertainment.
On Tuesday evening, June S3, 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. Tbe menu cacds are works of
art, and will be treasured as souvenirs
of the occasion. The dinner will com
mence pr mptly at 8:30, and after the
material part has been disposed of j
speeches will be given by tha best
speakers In the city and state, includ
ing tha governor and others equally
well-known.
The committee appeals to all British
born residents in the state of Oregon
to subscribe to the endowment of the
hospital bed. This is not a city affair,
but is known all over the state of Ore
g nas one of the most charitable in
s i.utions, 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
monarclis, than by giving something
for the sick and needy. If you cannot
give dollars do your best, and If any
wish to subsorile so much a month for
two or three they years can make their
payments in that way. Any of the
committee will be pleased to acknowl
edge the receipt of any money sont
them, or it can be sent to Mr. W. R.
McKenzie, the secretary, Worcester
block, Portland. The committee re
quest that all non-residonts, who in
tend being present at the bunquot tend
in their names at once.
