Oregon City needs an institution of this kind, and Homo of our wealthy citizens could in no better or nobler way seek . historic immortality. Jsoiv that eefl are two hits per dozen, it may interest rotllleis of the lazy hen to know that artilieial eggs are made ifrom sulphur, carbon and beef fat for the white, und beef blood and magnesia colored with chromo yellow for the yolk. The shells aro produced by a blow'pipe from ft moist composition of lime and gypsum. ' Tim theory has for years been held by chemists that fundamentally all mutter is coniiMised of the sumo same primitive substance, the differences, re sulting in the 00 qdd elements, being due to atomic combination of the molecules. It is not a matter of astonish ment, therefore, among scientists, that Pr. S. If. Emmons of New York has found a method by which silver may ho transformed in'o gold, lly completely breaking up silver molecules into their constituent atoms, and uniting them again, he has produced u metal ho names argentarium, which possesses properties akin to those of gold and silver, and, didiit nut have t!ie density of silver instead of gold, would pans the gold test of any govei inneiit mint in the world, lly transforming all the sil ver into gold, the ratio of 10 to 1, or any other, would he relegated to the history of the past as childish bugaboo. Tun potato has of late years fallen into something of the contempt with which twits considered in Europe on it lirst introduction in the 10th century. The scientists of the cuisine, such as Pr. Edson and Mrs. Purer, are warning eaters not to depend too much upon the potato for nutriment. Leguminous food should largely supplement its use. Furthermore, overindulgence in a potato diet conduces to dyspepsia, and herein may he revealed the org n of the prevalence of that distressing complaint in Anieiiui. The pota'o is not a root, as so many are accustomed to stylo it; it is an underground stem, swollen by accumulated starch stored up for future use. Its exact place in tlio dietary bus not yet been settled. It is a curious thing to note, too, that to the same genus (Solatium) lielongs tobocco, which was given to Europe nt about tho sumo time as the potato. Eat beans. Tim purchase of n farm by the county ' on which to colonize the paupers it sup ports, would relieve tho county treasury of those who aro able to work but will not; however, as economy in expendi tures should lie tho first consideration, it would bo unwiso to purchase a 32D-ucre farm for tho purpose when a 40-uere farm would answer as well and even better. A largo farm would require two teams at any rate, and one or two extra hired hands, which would give oppor- tunity for jobbery and wasting of monev J whereas a small farm could lie conducted entirely by the man in charge and tho paupers, with ono team. In addition the purchase of largo farm, like that of W.W. Myers, at S000, in warrants at 8 per cent., would increase the county's indebtedness much more than a farm costing about one-third of that. As the paupers cost the county during the last sis months $2900, it is plain that on a small farm, where they could be made partly self-supporting ami their food bought at wholesale rates, the cost would lie considerably less.

WHO HAS THE MONEY f "Farm Journal" Asks the Help of Farmers to Answer the Question The total value of all cereals, tobacco and cotton grown in the United States in 1891, was $2,539,434,476. The total value of these same products grown in 1895, was $1,810,712,527. This shows a shrinkage in value of farm crops in 1805 under those of 1891 of $728,721,949. (Crop values and farm values have been steadily shrinking since 1873.) The cost of labor, taxes, insurance, in terest, repairs, etc., were nearly as great in 1895 as in 1891, so there must be a loss of at least $500,000,000 to the Ameri can farmer in the year 1895. Now, we want to know who has that money? By a careful study of the statistics, native and foreign, we learn that nearly all tho governments, and national and private banks of Europe, have been in creasing their stock of gold, in the ag gregate a sum not less than $250,000,000; that the English exchequer is full and running over; that the profit of Great Britan alone from her foreign trade was $250,000,000 greater than in previous years, that she is spending $109,000000 of this sum in battle ships and naval armaments, and that steamships have been busy all summer hauling gold out of the United States. ($74,000,000 in eleven months ) Much complaint comes to us from all parts of this country of a great scarcity of money ; props are abundant but prices very low ; many of the exchanges of the people are being carried on by barter, by trading eggs and butter for sugar and coffee, fruits and vegetables for boots and calicoes; and it is a well-known fact that there was withdrawn from cir culation during the first six months of the present year $85,000,000, and since July 1, 1895, no less a sum than $154, 000,000. Therefore, in behalf of the farmers of the United States, who are great sufferers by the above conditions, we demand to know :i. who has that money ? We want those $500,000,000 accounted for, and we want farmers to help us find out what has become of them and how they may be recovered. , Possibly the Corner in Gold has some thing to do with it I If the farmers' crops, when they came to be sold were measured by the gold London Shylock owns, might this not be the reason the price is so low? The dollar now seems to be able to buy two bushels of wheat instead of one; soon.it will buy three bushels. As Shylock tightens his grip on gold, which measures property, down goes the price of crops, and Down goes the Farm, ' ' Down goes the Farmer,' Down goes the Merchant, Down goes the Manufacturer, Down goes the Laborer, , Down goes the Doctor, Down goes the Carpenter, Down goes the Blacksmith, Down goes the Poor Debtor, Down goes Independence, . Down goes Liberty, Down goes the Flag, Down goes everybody else and every thing else but the Ddlur and London Shylock. Once more we demand to know WHO HAS THAT MONEY ? REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
