The price of sheep has had an
upward tendency of late on eastern
markets.
Good bogs are quoted in San
Francipco at Ot&jOjo for heavy
and 6j5o for light.
The bean crop of Michigan last
year is estimated at 8.000,000 bu-shi-ls,
valued at $0,000,000.
The Front street commission
bouses in Portland are well supplied
with California vegetables.
A Arm at Albany, Ore., made a
shipment of 1800 dozen eggs to
Skagway, Alaska, a few days ago.
Hogs were selling at $G6 60 per
owt. at Omaha March 26th with
the bulk of the sales at from f ft.25

Seattle quotations for livestock
are as follows: Beef steers, 45c;
cows, 3J(uj4c; sheep, 44jc; bogs,
The probabilities are that there
will be a large apple crop in the
United Stitos this year. Thii makes
t the more necessary to take extra
pains to secure clean and choice
fruit in order to obtain sale at sat
isfactory prices.
Observations made at the Kan
as experiment station indicate that
it makes very little difference
whether trees are grafted on whole
"wits or piece roots, or are budded.
Other thinus being equitl, there i
no perceptible difference in thi
urnwth and vigor of the trei's props
guted by the different methods.
A writer or an eastern agricul
tural pnper describes the method of
plowing in seed potatoes and says
it is adapted to liyht lands. The
syntem is followed by a good manv
farmers in Oregon on lands' which
are not light but thty plow the
land twice. The first plowing is a
deep one and the second plowing
when the seed is planted is com
paratively shallow. If the land is
disked or harrowed in the ioterval
between the two piowings it is in
shape to yield a good crop. The
planting is of conr.-e done at the
time of the second plowing.
The spirit of improvement in the
appearance of cities and towns is
growing rspidly in all parts of the
United Stales. In Portland a spec
ial reaon for "fixing up" is the
coming of the 1905 exporition. In
order thnt the deploy 'if roses and
ornamentiil plants throughout the.
city mny be as fine as possible at
that time, it is necessary to begin
work at once, and there has been
an unprecedented demand for rose
bushes, etc. Fortunately, a num
ber of other plne.es in the state have
onught the infeotion and a whole
sale rivalry as to the moat attrac
tive appearing towns and cities may
be expected to grow up. This will
naturally have an effect upon the
farmers tributary to such towns.
There will be more attention given
hereafter than ever before to mk
ing frm homes nnd their surround
ings attractive, nnd it will pay in
more ways than one

Our Leper.
It is a strange circumstance there
should be under consideration by
tbe federal authorities a plan to pro
vide a retreat for lepers says the Ta
coraa Ledger. Leprosy does not
belong to this country. It is here
only as an importation. It was
imported by whom? Exclusively
by the Chinese, excepting in the
extreme south, where among the
ignorant, there exists conditions
approximating the Chinese condi
tion of living.
California is credited with twenty-four
cases of thin loathsome
plague. It is probable that this
does not represent more than 25
per cent of the cases there are in
San Francisco alone. Leprosy
springs into being amid the inde
scribable filth of Chinatown. The
victims of it conceal the truth as long
as they can and, latter, the other
Chinese hide the victims in somp
remote underground chamber, there
to rot and die.
Leprosy, primarily a filth disease
spreads through contact. There
fore to breed it in tbe heart of a
Chinatown is to threaten gen' ral
health. There is no cure for it.
When tbe taint gets into the blood
the patient has only to wait for
death, and often this is a weary
term of waiting. It may last for
years.
Some people who have no know
ledge of Chinese habits think that
the enforcement of sanitary laws
would he effective. If they had the
knowledge they lack they would be
awure that the enforcement of sani
tary regulations among tbe Chinese
would be just as impossible as i'
would be among a similar number
of rats in a sewer.

How to Treat Oat 4 to Prevent Smut.
A bulletin just issued by the Wis
consin experiment station gives
the following directions how to treat
seed oats to prevent smut. Tbe
treatment has been adopted wilb
success by many farmers iu that
state:
"If 50 bushels of seed oats are to
be treated, secure from a drug store
one pound or a pint of formaldehyd
(sometimes called fornjalin). Speak
to your druggist in advance so that
he may secure the formaldehyd in
time, if he dues not have it on hand.
Put into a barrel or cask 50 gallons
of water and pour in the oue pound
of formtldotn d to make the proper
solution. Dip out one-half tne bo
lution iuto another cask in order to
treat two sacks of oats at the same
time, thus facilitating the work.
Place two busuels of oats in each of
two gunny sacks or large bags and
submerge the oats into the solution
for twenty minutes, then lift the
sacks from the barrel and let them
drain for a minute or two to save
solution. Empty tbe oats on a
threshing floor or on a canvass to
dry and proceed as before, using the
same sacks for the remainder of tbe
oats.
"The solution as used !b not
poisonous aud will not injure the
sacks or clothing coming in contact
with it. Fomaldebyd is a gis gen
erated by burning wood alcohol. It
is readily soluble in water, which
will hold forty per cent of itin solu
tion. This solution is s.ld by most
drug stores under the nami of for
maldehvd or formalin at about 50
conts per pound.
"It is well to treat the seed oats
two or three days before sowing to
give it ample time to dry. If the
oats are shoveled over two or three
times it will facilitate the drying
very much and no difficulty will be
experienced sowing with drill or
seeder. The treated oats can be
sown with a force-feed drill or a
seeder when quite damp, but the
machine should be set so that it
will indioate eowing about a peck
more than the quantity desired per
acre, as the oats are swollen nnd will
not run quite as freely as dry oats.
"Tbe treatment of seed oats seems

to facilitate tbe sprou'ing; a differ,
ence of from two to three days in
of the oats treated will be not'cablo.
From the field tests made at tbe
University farm by tbe writer no
detrimental effects 00 tbe germina
tion of seeds were detected."

A recent writer has this to sny ot
sailors' rations: "A sailor has dishes,
and loves them, thnt are little appreci
ated ashore. He likes '1'iuiny Adams'
and has a great fancy for 'plum duff,'
which consists of suet pudding with
raisins in It. Vegetables, though they
are in the official hnrbor menu, arc not
nerved out to the messes every day, but
on certain dnys some groups of men
get all and the others none, on a sys
tem of which Jack quite approves.
"The messes whose turn It Is to hnve
vegetables indulge In a 'pot mess,' as
It is styled, perhaps not Inappropriate
ly. The messes in their turn receive
the shins, scrag ends, neck pieces and
other odds and ends of the meat ration
some sailors aver that every animal
lias at least six shins and this miscel
laneous assortment of remnants is
thrown Into a pot with ns many vege
tables as can be got. The result Is a
pot mess.'
"Any landlubber who desires to try
a real unval dish will have no dlllicr.lty
lu getting the dish prepared, nnd if he
eats It on u table with uneven legs
which lunges up aud down he can im
agine he is at sea."
Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is a curious aud some
what rare disease, whose most promi
nent symptom is Irresistible attacks ot
sleep. These may come on suddenly at
any time aud place, and tbe patient la
absolutely unable to stay awake. The
sleep, however, is usually of short do
ration, from ten to thirty minutes.
The disease was described and nam
ed by Gelineau. a Freuch physician, in
1SS0. It Is thought by some specialists
to be closely allied to epilepsy. But as
the attuc'ns resemble healthy sleep
the muscles are relaxed, lhe heart aud
respiration are slowed dovn, the pa
tient on awakening Is refreshed as nit
er an ordinary nap, and there Is none
of the lassitude and sense of exhaus
tion which follows the epileptic lit
it is certainly very diECerent' in origin,
from the hitter. Robin nnd Pnul Sain
ton hnve recorded cases which show a
close nssoeintlon between obesity and
the tendency to narcolepsy.
It seems probable, however, ns Dutlt
thinks, that its- closest ally Is simple
