Waste has been the curse nf airricuiture- ' Whv rtav Isym nn land not ,Mrme(,? why only haH cnW. vale the field and so waste land and labor? hy waste time aud capital iu raising interior animals? Why waste money in buying what should be raised on the farm? Why waste energy in try ing to do more than any one man can do right? On many farms there is waste in a thousand ways, and no wonder that to tome "farmiug does not pay." The small details must be looked after, and no farm should be larger than can he properly attended tot RAINIER Bids Were opened tor the city water works last Monday.

A certified check for two thoucand dollar Is now In the band of the wnter commission. Tbe contract wa signed today, and bond for sis tuouaaiid dollars must be given within ten days and the work to begin at that time.

Mr. Moeck will visit Spain, Italy, France and the various place of interest on the Mediterranean, and will undoubtedly eo to tbe Hole Land, from whence be will go to his old home in Germany, arriving in Mew York some time ia October. Rev. W. C. Fry's subject, "Leap Year," brought out a large crowd of young people. He took for his text the 1st verse, 4ih chapter of Isuiah. "And in that day shall seven women take bold of one man saying, 'We will eat our own food and wear our own apprael, only let . ot be called by thy name, to take away our rcptoaih.'

Cheap Fertilizing Some of tbe best farm in the Eaa have been brought to tbe highest degree of fertility by the of clover, lime anil manure. The fanners who have accotu plisherVsuch results have aimed to save every pound of manure, and alto to pre serve it in the beat manner. Lime is used extensively by those who know that lime is an essential ingredient of plants, and also because it is excellent for in creasing the clover crop. Clover enriches the land by promoting tlfc supply of nitrogen in the soil, hence lime and clover make an excellent combination. A t.iiiva-f of ilie stu lents of the Uni versity of OiegOii, just made, shows that betwcefl sixty and seveuty per cent of toe men in the U-ivesty this year are either wholly or pattially making their own way through college. The greater part of the earning i done, of course, dnrnj the summer. Tbe canvass shows that, sim e the vacation is comparatively short, the men get employment in the harveitt fields, mines, and labor of va i iotta kinds paying good wages. It shows also that the engineering Undents find no trouble iu getting work ill their line. The engineering dt-ar.ment of the Uni versity of Oregon ha a large number ot graduates In the'employ of the Soothe, n IVcific. O. P. A S., Northern Pacific, and in the Government reclaimtion service, and the majorit." of the eniueeiing stu deiita a e engaged beiora the session clc-es in Ju.ie. A number of students arc partly earn iim their oun way during the session. The university uiaiutaiua nn employment bureau nmterthe direc tion of the Registrar, but it was not able the past fall to supply all the calls made on It for students to work. Clover and Fodder Clover snd corn furnish a fodder ration that cannot easily be improved upon for dairy cows. Two factor should be taken into account when determining the amount of grain to feed. One is the extent to which cloter or alfalfa is fed, aud the second is the production of the cow. 1 ne rule witn some i-t to leeu i pound of grain for everv three pounds of milk produced When clover or al falfa form a large part of the ration it would seem reasonable to suppose that a less quantity of grain would suffice than tbe amount named. Congress will s e t ai m more cur rency famines occur, a d at the same ti.V.e will take care that tha utonjy in circulation is all kept as good as gold and free from auythtng iu me nature ot wild Inflation.
