MAKING A HOTBED.
Cood Location Handling the Ma
nure Proper Temperature.
The making of hotbeds is a matter
80 commonly understood as perhaps
scarcely to require going Into at this
time, yet the following from Vlck,
dealing as It does principally with the
proper heating of the beds, may not
come amiss to those Interested in start
ing cabbage, celery, lettuce, etc., In
February or early spring:
The ordinary hotbed consists of a pile
of fermenting stable manure, covered
with a frame and glazed sashes, In
.PLAN FOR nOTBED.
which is a layer of fertile soil. The
bd should be located where it will be
easy of access, but it should be on dry
ground and not where water could flow
over the ground and about its base,
even in wetveather. It-should also be
sheltered from heavy winds, and with
a full exposure to the sun. In prepara
tion for a bed the fresh manure and
long litter arc collected from stables and
drawn together to the location of the
bed, where it Is placed In a conical
pile. As the manure is thus thrown to
gether it Is packed down by treading
on It, the treading being repeated as
the bed Is raised a few Inches at a
time, until the pile is finished off to a
point at the top. '
After a few days it may be noticed
Hint the pile Is heating by seeing steam
rise from It. It is then customary to
jandle over the manure, shaking It out
.md again making it into a pile and
trumping It down as before. In two
or three dnys the signs of heating will
again be evident, aud It Is then ready
lo be made Into a bed. The bed should
.ie made large enough Jo extend at
least a foot outside of tho frame at
aides and ends. In throwing the ma
nure Into shape as the pllo rises in
height every few Inches it should be
licuten down with the back of the fork
so that tho materlnl will be of uniform
tensity. The bed should be two feet
Vr two and a. half feet la depth. The
' coper It In tho steadier and longer con
' nued will be the heat.
When the bed Is finished evenly on
'op, the frame can be set on and cov
v red with the sashes. In a few days a
strong heat will rise, and When this
ii bates somewhat, so that tho thermom
eter thrust Into the manure Indicates
..ally 83 degrees or 00 degrees, a layer
C rich, mellow soli that has been pre
' lously prepared should be placed In
il e frame aud spread evenly over the
livid to a depth of about six Inches,
't he bed Is now ready for use, aud seed
wlug In It can commence. In the
management of a hotbed constant rcf
cenee must be umde to a shaded ther
mometer kept Inside, and air must be
riven sulllcleutly to keep the tempera
ture down to about 70 degrees.
About Skunk I'ni-iiilnu.
f a man wants ionmUe a htffclncss of

I'l'i-y feed on plenty of meat. They
ply rapidly. Underground nests
"h "i!.d bo arranged for them; also oth-
u the surface. The yard should
1st of two or more acres of land,
' . larger the better. The fence must
' course bo tight, with a wall nt least
o feet underground. On this scale

I American Agriculturist writer.

huug on n nwlvel about the feet from
the butt end. Tho post was braced on
erosspieees nt the base to hold It from
toppling over, and there was n knotted
rope on the handle end of the sweep to
allow the butt vtul, to which the ice
tonus were tied, to dip Into water and
dutch the cake of Ice; then, by pulling
down on the rope until the sweep could
be grasped In the hand, the cake of Ice
could be swung over Into the sled or
wagou Very easily. One man seemed
lo handle tho lever with ease, and It
certainly looked like n valuable help
not only In loading Ice. but In handling
any heavy objects that could be clutch
ed, by touts or chain. ,
i f WHEY FOR CALVES.
. Gxactlr What Can Be Done With
Good Remit. ,
That good calves can be raised on
' whey there Is no question, says a cor
' respondent of Hoard's Dairyman. Of
course nobody would want to feed
whey to a young calf the first few
weeks of Its life. There Is no occasion
whatever to feed the dairy calf whole
milk for a longer period than one week.
Let the calf have the milk of its dam
for the first week of its existence.
It Is certainly not best to permit the
calf to suckle the cow. The ordinary
cow has probably twice as much milk
as the calf needs, and to permit the
calf to suckle at will and overgorge
Itself will bring on disorders of a
serious nature. Fifteen pounds a day
Is fully enough milk for the calf In
the first week of Its existence. Very
much more than this works harm and
it is a very poor cow Indeed that doesn't
give double this amount in the first
week of lactation. Then If the calf Is
allowed to suckle any part, at which
time will this be? Shall the calf suckle
first and then milk out the remainder,
or vlco versa?
If the calf suckles first, It Is plain
that the remaining portion after the
calf Is supposed to have got sufficient
will contain by far the greatest portion
of the fat, for the last quart or two con
tains five or six times as much fat as
the remainder. Again, If the cows are
milked first and the calf allowed to
take the remainder, it Is plain that the
calf has obtained the richest portion of i
the milk.
The only logical way, then, Is to milk
the cow at first and all the time and let
the calf drink the milk from the pall.
For the first week the calf gets whole
milk .right from the cow, and for no
longer, given in two feeds, seven to
nine pounds at a feed, twice a day. At
the end of the first week we Introduce
skimmilk, so that at the end of the sec
ond week the calf is getting four quarts
of whole milk and four quarts or less
of skimmilk mixed, fed blood warm.
Now, at the end of the second week
we introduce whey (the whey must In
every case be boiled), very gradually at
first, so that at the end of the third
week the calf Is getting half whey and
half skim and whole milk, or, in other
words, one-fourth whole milk, one
fourth skim and one-half whey, mixed
and fed warm of course. No whole
milk Is fed after the calf Is 21 days old.
At the beginning of the fourth week
the ration Is half whey and half Bklm
mllk, about nine pounds at a feed, fed
twice a day.
Gradually during the fourth week the
skimmilk Is withheld, so that at the
end of the fourth week the ration Is
whey alone that Is to say, when the
calf Is 28 days old no milk of any kind
Is fed. Whey completely takes its place.
The amount of whey to be fed will
'"Vary somewhat, but as a rule about ten
pounds at a feed, twice a. day, will be
ample at 28 days old. The amount of
whey can now be Increased to 15
pounds at a feed when 2 months old
and continued till the calf Is 5 or 6
months old,. The whey must always be
first boiled as It comes from the factory
and fed at blood heat.
Of course no calf Is expected to sub
sist on whey alone no more than on
skimmilk alone. He must be fed some
grain. ' At 3 weeks of age a calf will
begin to eat meal, and a constant sup
ply should always bo before him.
Whether meal should be mixed with
the whey and skimmilk Is an open
question. If the meal Is first scalded
so as to break up the starch cells, It
may be mixed with either whey or
skimmilk, but dry meal should In bo
ease be ever mixed with whey or milk
to be fed to a young animal, let it be a
calf or a pig.
Keeilintf For Milk.
John Doau. writing In The American
Agriculturist, says:
Upon proper feeding devolves the
financial ruocoss of every dairy farm.
As I look nt the question It Is this: To
get the best results from the least ex
pense. I have 15 cows, mostly IIol
stelns. The milking Is started about
C:30 a. m. and Is completed and milk
cared for by G:3(). Then 1 feed each
cow one bushel silage made from Sto
WoU'8 Evergreen sugar corn, upon
which 1 give them their grain ration
composed of two quarts gluten meal
and five quarts shorts and middlings
mixed. At noou the cows are let out to
water and exercise In the yard for one
hour only In tine weather. My experi
ence has been that tho warmer and
more quiet the stock Is kept the better
the result will bo. ,
At 3:30 p. in. 1 feed the same amount
as fed lu the morning. Milking begins
at 5 p, m. and Is finished and cared for
by (1, after which thetock Is given a
feed of dry fodder, which consists of
cither English hay, oats cut In milk
and cured as hay, Ilrlugarlan hay or
meadow or swale hny, so that the cows
get a change of feed every day. While
I have tried a number of ways of I
feeding, the method I nm now pursu- j
Ing gives entire satisfaction, yet I nm i
ready to accept any method which will
recommend Itself to me to be superior i
to this. The result of one year's ex- !
perlniont with tho above meutloned
method has been to get 5,509 S'i quart
cans of milk from 14 cows.
Some IteqnUitea For Cnlf Feeding.
Always keep the calf pens dry and
clean, using plenty of litter. A dirty
pen Is conducive to scours. For several
calves fed together, tit up narrow stalls
at one side of the pen and fasten each
calf by a rope or stanchion to feed
each separately. This will prevent the
stronger calves from getting more than
their share. Keep them fastened' or
tied for half an hour after eating to
prevent their micklng each others' ears.
The palls used for feeding milk should
be thoroughly cleansed and Braided
With boiling water each day. Ameri

LOCAL COMMENT.
The citizens of Colfax, Wash., are
planning to send a delegation East to en-
lighten the immigration now pushing
! their way to Oregon and Washington.
Clackamas offers the best opportunities
j of any county in the state, considering
I the price of lands and convenience to
i the Portland markets. Yet, it is a fact,
, that our people are not making any or
, ganized effort to secure a portion of this
j immigration.
I Many of the prominent olde- residents
'of Oregon City are exempt members of
the volunteer fire department. The
two oldest active members in service
now are J. W. Cole and J. E. Rhoades,
of Columbia Hook & Ladder Company.
The former has been an active member
10 years and the latter 12. Gradually
new members are supplanting the older
ones, who go on the retired list after an
honorable service." Oregon City owes
much t) the members of the volunteer
fire department a debt of gratitude
that cannot be repaid in complimentary
words. To their credit it can be said
thm Oregon City has never had any dis
astrous nres, the prompt and eneigetic
tfforts of the firemen always preventing
the spread of blazes in their incipiency.
' In "Misfits" the Albany Democrat
concludes that it has a joke on the for
merdistrict attorney of this di-trict : "T.
.1 Cleeton, it transpires, was chairman
of the committee that in 1895 reported
that the Accounts of Oenrirn W . Mnvia
clerk of the land board, had been ex
amined and found absolutely correct,
conferring credit upon Mr. Davis. In
view of the recent disclosures this is
considerable of a joke.''
! It has been some time since the board
' of trade held a meeting, but their efforts
in the lines of road improvement and
the establishment of commission houses,
I. iia borne fruit. . j ,
It is regretted that the Oregon City
edition of last Saturday evening's Tele
gram was filled with matter advertising
Dr Strickland's candidacy for school
director. As usual, it proved a veritable
hoodoo.
The Koseburg Review mentions the
fact that there was considerable com
plaint among the jurymen .there last
week over the action of the recent ses
sion of the legislature in cutting their al
lowance to $1.50 per day. In a few
weeks more a Clackamas county circuit
court jury will go through the experi
ence of doing service for $1.50 per day.
Editor Davey, of the A. O.' U. W. Re
oorter, has incurred the displeasure of
numerous Southern Pacific section fore
men on account of an editorial printed
r bout Conductor Lynde, in which lie
says that the latter "might do for a sec
tion boss over a few Japs, but the place
of a passenger conductor iatoo high for
him." About one-half of the sec inn
foremen are members of the A. O. U.
W., and some of them are prominent
workers, and look on the allusion as a
slur at their occupation.
Various cities in the state are now li
censing and collecting taxes from tele
phones. The oppressive corporation
that controls the telephone system in
this city is reaping a rich harvest, not
only using the street and suspension
bridge without compensation, but de
mand a charge of 2) cents for whisper
ing through a phone to the nearest sta
tion. If the members of the city coun
cil desire to increase the revenues of the
municipality, it is their duty to tax every
telephone that has been placed in po
sition. The school election held last Monday
was remarkable from the fact that about
two-thirds of the votes polled, were by
women property holders, and the fur
ther fact that both candidates were over
persuaded to become sucii by their re
spective friends Dr. Carll took an ac
tive and deep interest in the public
schools during his firmer incumbency,
and he will devote much of his time in
the future to school matters.
Portland makeB a great blow over
electing a woman school director. Clack
amas county has two women school
directors, one of whom has filled the bo
cition for eight years. Several women
clerks hold positions.
Lord nnHell'i Uilenimu,
Once, when he first came to Lon
don and was laying the foundation of
his great career, says a London letter,
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went to the pit of a theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
room. All "of a sudden a man nt his
Bide cried out hat his ' watch was
stolen. Mr. Russell and two other
pien were hemmed in.
"It Is one of you three," cried the
man minus the watch.
"Well, we had better go out and be
searched," said Mr. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did uot fall him
at a trying moment amid an excited
crowd. A detective was n,t hand, and
the suggestion was accepted. As Mr.
Russell walkod out the Idea Hashed
through his mind that If the man be
hind him had the stolen property he
Would probably try to secrete it In the
pocket of his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his conttalls about
him only to feel, to his horror, some
thing large and smouth and round al
ready In his pocket.
While he was still wondering what
this might mean for him, the detective
energetically seized the hindmost man,
exclaiming: "What, ymi rascal! At It
again!" To Mr. Russell and the other
man he apologized and bade them go
free.
Rut Mr. Russell, before he had taken
many steps, reflected that he could uot
keep the watch. lie went back to the
box otliee and explained, with a cour
age on which he afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands,
that though Uf did not take the watch
he had it So saying, he put his hand
luto his pocket aud pulled out a for
gotten snuffbox.

All hail to the State of Oregon,
As yet in her swaddling clothes,
Her fight for fame is already wonj
As the fight of a daring recruit.
Her wealth of forest, field and mine
Attract the industries of every clime J
While the endless field of her shipping

Accomplishes wonders, albeit sublime.
Her brisk mountain streams with water
so pure,
Give energy, health and strength to

As healthy blood helps a man to endure
The wear of bia toil in the sternest of
fate.
All hail to the State in the lap of the

That kisses the distant shores
Of every nation, bond or free,
And supplies them its varied stores.
Its thousands of farms and oceans of
grain,
Its precious mefals and wood.
Its millions of fish that are annually
slain,
And furnish the world with food.
All hail to the land of the snow-capped
peaks,
The dashing caecade and the rapids

The beautiful maidens and cowboys
Attractions to numerous to enumerate.
All hail to the State where flowers and

And the garden and vineyard thrive,
The most fastidious tactics to suit,
And make one glad he's alive.
All hail to the State whose eon 3 of toil
And daughters of virtuous pride,
Boldly entered the forests' subdued the
soil,
And planted its acres wide,
Pierced its mountains and found their
gold,
Entered its forests and felled the great
trees,
Conquered the beasts, took the red men
stronghold,
Brought the scalps and cut throats down
on his knees.
Enthroned civilization, dethroned bar
barous laws,
Laboring and suffering till victory was
won.
Till in calm admiraton all nation now
pause,
Applauding the people of proud Oregon.
