There are loertain plants the dod der, for instance, which begin life with the beet intention!, strike trne roots into the soil, and really appear as if they meant to be independent for life. But after snpporttng themselves for brief period they fix onrlons sucking discs into the stem and branches of ad' jacent plants. And after a little ex perimenting the epiphyte finally ceases to do anything for its own support. thenceforth drawing all its supplies ready made from the sap of its host. In this parasitic State it has no need for organs of nutrition of its own and nature takes them away. Thence- foith the dodder is plant without root, without a twig, without a leaf, and having a stem so useless as to be inadequate to bear Its own weight. Prof. Drummond.

The oil producers' trustees have pub lished the regular monthly report for October. The statement shows that 18,986 barrels of oil were received dur ing the month. During the same period the sales amounted to 22,782 barrels. The amount in storage on Oc tober 1 was 82,236 barrels. The amount on November 1 had fallen to 78,440 barrels. Virtually all of this amount belongs to the Oil Transporta tion & Storage Company. A circular just Issued by this company shows that it intends to go into the oil buying and selling business. Orange Eitlmata. The orange crop will be late this year, and few will be St to ship to the Northwest for the holiday trade. The Los Angeles Express in writing up the outlook says that the total shipments from Southern California for the year foot up, of all kinds of citrous fruits, 16,148 carloads, which is a large per cent greater than for any previous 13 months. The coming crop is expeoled to equal last year's. There Is a good demand for lemons, but this frnit is scarce. ', 2Vw Fish Canning; Concern.

The following ships left Portland last Week, tonohing at Astoria: The British ship Jlooltan cleared for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, with 95,886 bashels of wheat, valued at $57,600, shipped by tbe Portland Flouring Mills Company. The British Bhip Nivelle, loaded by Balfour, Guth rie & Co., finished also, and went into the stream, and thj Mozambique, with cargo of wheat and barley, oleared, Hew Coal Deposit. The capitalists have recently sent an expert to investigate the deposit of lignite coal that exists on Mai lory ridge, near Asotin, Wash. A test was made of tbe coal, and it was pro nounced all right, and from what can be learned it is thought the extent of the mineral body will be more fully inquired Into in the course of a few weeks. The vein is now opened up for a distance of 16 feet. Fooling; Hop for Better Frloee. The hopgrowers in the vioinity of Independence, Or., in order to take advantage of the raising market are pooling their crops together .and hope to obtain 17 cents. A recent shipment from there consisted of fire carloads. containing 801 bales of fiist-olase hops. There still remains In that city some 700 bales of hops unsold. For San Franeieeo Market. Owing to tbe extreme dry season In California during the past year large sales of cattle for shipment to Califor nia have been made in Oregon. Two wholesale batchers of San Francisco pnrofaased 900 head of fine beef cattle near - Lakeview. The sale approxi mates 130,000. Bonds Sold. Tbe municipal bonds of Great Falls, Mont, have been sold to good advan tage in Chicago. The issue amounts to (376,000, on which a premium of 110,105 was obtained, which added to the accrued interest made a total of 1381,526.21 received by the city. . Water Mala Contract Lot.

Atlanta Journal Olant Eaat India Been, One of our acquisitions with the Philippine Islands ta likely to be a new species of the honey bee. It Is one half larger than the American honey bee, with a much greater capacity for making both wax and honey. In Its wild srrate It builds combs on large for est trees or ta clefts of the rocks In the mountains of the Island. As It goes np (he mountains for a distance of 6,000 icet, tt Is believed that ft can be acctl mated so as to live in the United States. Mr. Fiwhk Benton of tbe Department of Agriculture went to the Philippines to inreetlgftte these new kind of bees. He reports tbero not to be easily Irri tated, unfortunately a swarm which Mr. Benton captured In the jungle died oi its passage across the Pacific. These bees have a wasp-like figure, with or ange-colored bands encircling its body. The combs it makes are much larger than those made by ordinary bees. If ft can be domesticated In hives tbe hrvM must be very large ones. In fact, a roonl would scarcely be too large, and It might accommodate several swarms. Care of a Uorae, The animals should be first watered, then fed, and white they are eating their com the bed Is turned up, the stalls mucked out, the feet picked out with tihe picker, and the Boles, frogs and walls well washed with the water brush, the shoes being examined to see that they are firm and serviceable. Thorough grooming with brush, curry comb, sponge and linen rubber. SIctt and idle horses require grooming as much aa working ami amis do to keep them tn health. If horses got more effi dent grooming there would be fewer Complaints as to "surfeit, " pimples, blotches, hidebound, roughness and other things that affect the health and spoil the appearance of tbe animal, and there would also be lees demand for alterative and "condition" powders, which are generally rendered neces sary through the akin becoming on headthy owing to Its neglected condi tion.

The quickest and simplest method of utilizing old bone la to bum them in the ki-tehen ove and carefully save the ashes. In this way you get In the ash all the phosphoric acid and lime there is 111 the bone, but you lose tbe nitrogen, which goes off as gas tn the smoke, whore the quantity of bones Is small, however, and cupeeittlly if the facilities required for other methods of using them are not at hand, and If the bones cannot be sold at a fair price, this burning ot them is far better than to permit them to go to waste. Bone makes an Intense heat, and as far as It goes la a Valuable fuel. Every thrifty farmer aavea all the wood ash from the bouse, for ft is so rich in phosphoric acid ana potash that not a pound of it should be wasted, but every bit of wood ash (whether containing bone ash or not) should be religiously preserved. Every intelligent and thrifty farmer knows the value of A dressing of rich Wood ash and fine bone meal. Except for the lose of nitrogen by burning, this home-made combtoaition of wood ash and bone ash will accomplish nearly as good results as the famous unleached wood ash and bone meal mixtures- American Agriculturist Uaa and Coat of Land Plaster. Land plaster la sold very cheaply In places whore the rock suitable for grinding It from fa abundant It Is there, too, that tt appears to do most good, probably tn part because tho gypsum rock has always enough holes through It to make good drainage. Its best effect Is always found on light and dry sollav for one of the properties of plnMer Is to attract moisture, which such lot usually noeds. Plaster hat been sold at the mills as low as f'J per ton In winter when moat of the rock grinding Is rtonft. 1Vn or fifteen mllee way and In au minor, when farniors wnnted to nso It on crops, the price would lump up to (4.60 and even 3 per ton.

There fa a difference of opinion as to nw proper time to prune an orchard, but good time Is when the knife Is sharp. Visit the orchard often and cut off all water sprouts and superfluous limbs that interfere with their neigh bors. Head tbe trees low.

When a farmer's stock seems to be ail of one mold, and that a good one, there are dealers ready to rake them as lot, and at the owner's price. A first- Class animal la sure to brtng a good figure, but he who baa all flrst-clast animals usually obtains the top of tbe market . while there are a good many kinds of toads, all of them bring sudden death to every bug or fly which comes within their, reach. . It Is doubtful If the most Industrious bird devours as many Insects In a year as the toad. They are not attractive In appearance, but We should never destroy one of them. . Tbe entire manurlol product of the aalry herd kept at Cornell JJntverslty Station was kept In a covered barnyard during one winter. Samples were taken from time to time and analyed. The) results based upoh tjib market price of I the then principal fertilizing Ingredi ents showed the manure of the herd to be worth per cow per day 8.62 cents. A cow that produces 2,325 quarts yields within a fraction of 6,000 1 bounds. A good cow should produce 6,000 pounds of 8.75 to i per cent milk. At 9 cents A quart the cash value of 6,000 pounds of milk is $09.75. With good farm management aucb cows should be kept for $40, which leaves a profit above the cost of the feed of $29.75. The labor cost should not ex ceed one good man to fifteen cows. Hoard's Dairyman. Very many people are fond of a good garden, but think they can not keep chickens and have a garden, too. The Maine farmer tells of a ponltryman who Is noted for success tn producing re co-1 taDies. lie grows twice as much on an acre as formerly. He keeps 100 fowls, and has two lots of ground, one being given up to fowls, while tho other Is used for garden, the lots being about one and A quarter acres each. The next year be turns the fowls on the garden plat and uses for a garden the plAt then vacated by the fowls. By thus giving up the garden plat to poultry every alternate year he keeps the soil very fertile. Cream left to Itself will spontaneous ly become sour; this Is the result of the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which feed upon the milk sugar, and as a final process convert It into a lactlo acid. Other forms of bacteria are always present In cream; some have little or no effect In tbe ripening process, while others, If allowed to develop, produce undesirable and often obnoxious fla vors. To cultivate and develop these "wild" germs Is called "spontaneous" ripening, and Is often attended with un certainty. Good butter-making de mands the Ose of a "starter," either home-made Or A pure culture. The for mer should be made of selected skim milk. Carbolic salve should always be kept ready for use at the cow barb. Bruises and sores often occur In the best tegu- lated establishment and there Is noth lng really better than a Carbolic oint ment for such cases. This may be pur chased already prepared at any drun store, or the dairyman cao easily pre pare It for himself by simply taking some vaseline or even lard and adding to It a very small quantity of the acid. Two of three drops of carbolic acid would be Sufficient for one tablespoon ful of the vaseline or lard, only mix them thoroughly together. Such oint ment Is a rapid healer and keeps files away from sores. It Is excellent for man or beast. Practical Dairyman. Always In digging an nndcrdraln tho lowest subsoil, often solid, bard and without vegetable mold, Is more or less mixed with that dug near the surface. and which is usually richer. . In filling the aitcn this mixture continues, so that the soli that was dug from tbe bot tom of the ditch may often be In the last spadeful thrown tn. Yet It never has been known to make any differ ence. Always crops of any kind show a better growth directly over the drain than they do oh either side, even dur ing the first season's growth. After a year or two the good effect of the drain extends to and on either side, as the soil freezes deeper when surplus water Ib removed from h, and tho roots of plants can go doopor for moisture or plant food.
