THE NEW SILVER PARTY.
A few silver men have formed what
they .call a silver party. They hope to
gather all the believers of a freer coinage
of silver under one political banner.
They say that nothing can be accom
plished through the old parties, as they
are under the influence of the gold-bugs,
and the only hope for silver is through
the independent action of its friends.
They have had a meeting, and have issued
a call for a general convention to meet
in Philadelphia soon.
Political history teaches ns that the
proposed movement is a foolish and a
vain one. The name of the new party
-condemns it. No one-idea party can
ever succeed in the United States, no
matter how meritorious and equitable
the principle it advocates. " The freedom
of the negroes was not accomplished by
the abolition party. Wherever prohibi
tory laws were placed upon the statute
book of a state it was not the prohibition
Dartv that secured their enactment It
will be impossible for the new party to
frame tariff and other planks that will
meet the approval of all the silver advo
.cates. It must be borne in mind, that
while the financial question is a great
one, it 19 not the only important political
question before the people.
Instead of strengthening the cause of
silver, the formation of a new party will
.simply divide the strength of the advo
cates of a more general coinage of the
white metal, and postpone the accom
plishment of the "desires of true bi-met-
alists. : The proper.aud the only rational
method of procedure, is to force the old
parties to come out squarely and strongly
for bi-metalism. Proper agitation will
accomplish this. Recent events of the
national consrress show that the silver
sentiment is in the ascendency in both
the republican and democratic parties.
It will be foolish to expect many republi-
- cans to leave their party on the plea
that it will do nothing for silver when
most of the leaders of the party are de
clared supporters of silver coinage.
There is no possible excuse for a silver
party in Oregon. The state government
ha3 nothing to do with the coinage ques
tion. This is strictly a national matter,
and as far as Oreeon is concerned her
representation at Washington are as
1 w
.strong friends of the white metal as the
silver oartv itself could propose. The
republican party in Oregon at last is a
silver party, and it is beyond , question
that no good can possibly be accomplished
by leaving it and chasing after new ven
tures. When the next state republican
convention meets it will declare for silver
in terms that can not be misunderstood.
Along .with the silver plank, however,
will be a declaration in favor of protec
tion to home industries and other good
old republican doctrines, that all repub
licans can support readily and even
enthusiastically. The new party will find!
little encouragement for organizing in
Oregon.
"TARIFF REFORM" UP TO DATE.
A page could be filled with a list of the
luxuries of the rich upon which the taxes
have been reduced by the new tariff.
Here are a few reductions: China re
duced 50 per cent., glass plate and stained
glass 40, gold pens 16, clocks 2S, hats 72,
knit fabrics 72, flannel 68, silk 40, gloves
30,- comfits, jellies, etc., laces, embroid
eries, etc., 16, woolens and silks 10 to 20,
owing to ad valorem instead of specific
duties. Under the present tariff the rich
man of fashion wears his superfine for
eign boradcloth, superfine linen, silk hat,
kid gloves, fine silk umbrella, sips his
costly glass of rare old wine, at from 20
to no less that 70 per cent, less than the
former duty upon these superfluous
luxuries. His grand dame plays her fan,
flourishes her embroidered handkerchief,
displays her exquisite laces, and arrays
herself in superb silks at equal reductions,
with many smiles and thanks to the
newly arisen friend of the people, the
charming and brilliant young West Vir
giaian, who apologizes for his failure to
reduce the duties upon the champagne
she offers him, explaining that this was
not his fault as his bill originally pro
vided for its reduction also. Hundreds
of fancy articles made of wool, silk and
linen are now under reduced duties.
These reductions, as we shall see later,
embrace articles de luxe which furnish
two-thirds of the entire revenue from the
tariff. Not one workingman in the whole
land uses these luxuries. Such is "tariff
reform" up to date, and thus is the "bur
den of taxation removed from the masses
of the people." Strange delusion ! The
taxes are removed only from the rich.
Tariff duties as follows were collected
in 1892 on foreign importations of the
luxuries of the rich:
Wool manufactures $32,203,609
Silk manufactures 16,965,637
Cotton manufactures 16,436,733
Flax manufactures 10,066,636
Glass and China., 10,339,000
" Wines, liquors, etc 8,935,000
Tobacco and cigars 11,882,557
Here are $io5,ooo,ooo of revenue from
seven classes of luxuries, and here are a
few others which netted more than $S,-
000,000 additional jewelry, carriages,
artificial flowers, clocks, brushes, paper,
perfumeries, musical instruments mak
ing $114,000,000 revenue collected from
imports out of the total of $177,000,000.
To reduce duties upon articles which are
all luxuries of the rich, furnishing two
thirds of the whole tariff revenue, is the
chief result of the Wilson act Forum.
SOME EXCELLENT ADVICE.
The letter of Superintendent" Irwin,
recently issued to the teachers of Oregon,
is full of practical suggestions. It shows
his familiarity with the needs of the
schools, and his hints denote long exper
ience in educational work and also what
methods are best to pursue in order to
attain the results. In his circular letter
Mr. Irwin forcibly presents the thought
that those engaged in .the work of teach
ing are not mere wage earners, their
calling being one of the grandest and
most ennobling of professions. They
ought not to content themselves with
the idea, that because they can pass a
satisfactory examination there is no
necessity for advancement. Higher cer
tificates and higher grades of work must
be gained by higher attainments. The
frequent association of teachers is urged
as a means of acquiring new ideas. At
tendance of and preparation for county
institute work is not only a legal neces
sity, but it is deemed a much needed
help to greater efficiency.
The Benton County Teachers' Associ
ation organized last fall had for its object
the carrying on of work similar to that
of the teachers' institute. The last meet-
, however, was poorly attended.
Only a few of the teachers of Corvalhs
were present. There ought to be no
excuse on their part. They live in Jclose
proximity to the .building wherein was
held the cxcerciscs. ' The day was pleas
ant, consequently their failure to attend
could not be laid to the inclemency of
the weather. A program of the exer
cises had been published in the local
papers, so that all might know when and
where the association would meet. Yet
lettle interest wes manifested in the
work which had been inaugurated to
advance the interests of those engaged in
educational affairs. On this line Mr. Ir
win says somethiiig that should be re
membered by those who neglect their
opportunities, which will appeal especi
ally to many of the teachers in Benton
county: "Be diligent to qualify your
selves for success in your work. If when
you shut your school house door when
the active day's work is done, you shut
therein all your care and anxiety for
your school, you will be a failure. Give
much of your time out of your school in
dilligent preparation for more efficiently
doing the work of the coming day."
Another thought of especial interest to
the teacher who wishes to succeed is
stated by Mr. Irwin as follows: "If 3-011
are in fact a professional teacher you
must expect progress. Our law requires
a graduation from the lower to the higher.
That certificate you now how (unless you
have reached the top), must give place
to a higher. That higher must be gained
by higher attainments. Those attain
ments are only reached by diligent study.
Do not think that having passed one ex
amination you can readily pass another.
Even in the same branches a closer in
spection of your ability is given, and a
higher grade must be made. The grades
of decades ago should not be the grades
of jtoday, nor the grades of today be the
grades of the future. The ' standard of
teaching must be elevated, arid to do this
the teacher must be progressive in study."
Superintendent Irwin is unquestionably
the right man in the right place. He is
an able and scholarly gentleman, who
seems to fully realize the importance of
the office he fills, and who is industri
ously working for the advancement of
education in Oregon that our public
schools may attain the highest possible
standard of excellence. His public utter
ances are so pregnant with truths and so
full of sound advice that they will un
doubtedly have the effect of heaping
coals of fire upon the heads of the school
teachers who worked so industriously
dnring the last campaign for his defeat.
Though they may now realize their mis -take,
the prominent leaders in the con
temptible movement will never be able
to make amends for the many unkind
and even untruthful statements which
they circulated to injure his candidacy.
The public, however, fully appreciates
his efforts and recognizes in him the
qualities necessary to enable him to carry
on the grand work successfully.
THE STATE BENEFITED.
P.-of. French, of the Oregon Experi
ment Station, has issued a bulletin on
forage plants and on pig feeding, that
will be of interest and use to- the farmers
of Oregon. Prof. French is a conscien
tious and practical experimenter, and
many farmers have already improved
their condition through the valuable
hints he has given them. He is progress
ive and . wide-awake, and alwaj's on the
alert for new ideas that might be of bene
fit to the agriculturists of the state. He
has gained the confidence of the farmers
and they do not look upon him as simply
a visionary theorist, but as an intelligent
and practical worker for the advancement
of their interests.
Most of the critics on the Agricultural
College seem to be seized with the idea
that the institution is only one that
teaches the students high school studies
with a little useless practical work thrown
in. The results of the college work can
not be shown in dollars and cents. The
beneficial effects of the experiments
carried on there are far-reaching. The
benefits from the work of each depart
ment accrue to the state as a whole
through the farmers who take advantage
of the suggestions offered them by those
in charge of the experimental work. A
practical illustration of the advantages
of such institutions is had by reference
to the work accomplished in Michigan,
where Dr. Kedzie, of the agricultural
college of that state, carried on a series
of experiments to determine what variety
of wheat was best suited to the soil and
climate of that locality. By persistent
effort and careful experimentation along
this line he succeeded in impressing upon
the agriculturists of Michigan the fact
that the best results could be attained by
growing Clawson wheat In introducing
this variety he was compelled to overcome
a strong prejudice then existing among
the farmers in favor of other wheats
which had been grown there for years.
The millers' were also arrayed against the
eminent professor, as they found there
was less profit in milling the Clawson
than other varities. These theories, how
ever, were combatted by the professor
with statements showing the' results of
practical and scientific : tests, and in the
course of three years his efforts were
crowned with success The farmers of
Michigan were almost to a man, growing
Clawson wheat, and the benefits result
ing to the state through Dr. Kedzie's
experiments were estimated at a million
and a half of dollars. The people of
Michigan appreciate their agricultural
college. . They realize that this experi
ment has alone been worth more to the
state in dollars and cents than it has cost
to maintain the institution from its incep
tion to date.
Through one of the experiments now
being made by Professor French, Oregon
is likely to reap benefits proportionately
as great as those which have accrued to
Michigan. Five years ago Professor
French received 25 grains of a new vari
ety of wheat known as No. 10. This was
sown and carefully harvested. From the
oricinal few kernels, last year a crop of
200 bushels was produced. Its growth,
yield, milling qualities, etc., have been
faithfully noted. From one bushel of
seed, Richard Irvin, who lives at the
Buttess outh of town, raised thirty bushels
last year and is highly pleased with the
results. The berry is plump, large,
and besides overrunning from two to five
pounds per bushel, the wheat makes an
excellent quality of flour. The prime
merit of No. 10 wheat, however, is not
its superior yielding and milling qualities,
but its early maturity, which makes it of
especial value to the Oregon farmer.
Professor French claims that No. 10 will
ripen two weeks earlier than any other
variety of wheat grown in the state; that it
matures sufficiently early to prevent any
perceptible injury from the grain aphis,
which, did so much damage last year to
other varieties, and, also, that by growing
No. 10, there will be no losses on account
of early rains. In the past, Oregon far
mers have sustained considerable dam
aee to crops from both these causes. It
is therefore plainly apparent that the
introduction of this variety of wheat will
be of incalculable benefit to the state.
This experiment, though, is but one of
many similar ones that are being carried
on at tne college, ah nave ior meir
object the advancement of the state's
welfare. Those persons and papers that
claim the college is a benefit only to Cor-
vallis are certainly either uninformed as
to the workings of the institution or
guilty of gross misrepresentation. It
must be remembered that the institution
yet in its infancy and later on the
financial results of the work in each
department will be more apparent than
during the past. There is little doubt
that Oregon has already received, as a
result of the experiments carried on at
the college, more direc benefit in- cash
than the total amount the state has paid
out in maintaining the institution. Mr.
French's wheat experiment will alone be
worth to the state at least $rco,ooo. Does
any sane person presume for a minute
that this benefit will accrue wholly to
citizens of Corvallis ?
Eager and Nipping Wind,
A continuous downpour of rain, inclement
weather, general'y in winter and spring, are
unfavorable to all classes of invalids. But
warmth and activity infused into the circu
lation counteracts these influences and inter
pose a defense against them. Hostelter's
Stomach Bitters, most thorough and effect
ive of stomachics and tonics, not only
enriches the blood, but nccelerates its circu
lation. For a chill, or premonitory symp
toms of rheumatism and kidney complaint,
particularly prevalent at these seasons, it is
the best possible remedy. It is also invalu
able for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa
tion and nervousness. Never set out on a
winter or spring journey without it. Elderly
persons and the deiicato and convalescent
are greatly aided by it.

BULLETIN M. THIRTY-FIVE,
Devoted to Forage Plants and
Pig Feeding, now Being
Distributed.
Bulletin No. 35, issued by Prof. H. T,
French, of the Oregon Experiment Station,
ja now being distributed. - The subjects 1
covered are forage plants aud pig feeding.
Under the former is given complete results ,
of experiments thus far carried on in grow-1
iug clover, vetches, corn and the flat pea.
From that portion of the bulletin, devoted
to forage plants, the following interesting
paragraphs have baen culled: ... .. . ' '
As extensive wheat farming give way to
a more intensive ry stem of farming, the at
tention of farmers will be turned toward
better fodder plants than those found on
the farms throughout a large portion of the
state. Stock raising must go along with
any system of intensive farming. The
coarse products of the . farm must be con
verted into meat aud dairy products, and
thns returning a large portion of the ferti
lizing elements to the soil. At the pres
ent time considerable attention is being di
rected toward the dairy induatury, .is a
source of revenue on the farm. -And that
a better knowledge of some of the com
mon forage plants may be obtained, the
following report is m.tde. It is an indis
putable fact that many dairy enterprises
have met entire failure becauso there has
not been euough attention given to supply
ing the stock with suitable food during
times of scarcity.
The natural pasture will supply an abun
dance of food during a portion of the yoar,
although it is many times inferior to the ar
tificial supply, or that which is raised by
cultivation. As long as the dairymen de
pend upon natural paatnraqe, they will not
make the most of the opportunities that are
so richly bestowed throughout a large por
tion of the state. It is only in the most
favored localities that natural pasturage will
pay. We hear the early settlers tell of the
luxuriant vegetation which covered the
hills and valleys during the pioneer days
of the state, aud some think it strange that
the hills can uot be induced to renew their
verdure, aud again be covered with a coat
consisting of the native grasses and plants.
The native or wild Brasses, . which once
covered the hills and valleys, have vanished
never to appear again. They have gone out
with the native red man, never to occupy
the land again. This fact is proven iu the
agricultural history of the older portions of
this conntrv. aud iu the countries of
the old world. The crops of today, iu
these localities, are such as have become de
veloped and domesticated ; from the wild
soecies fuuud. often iu foreign lands. As
the imported breeds of stock are superior to
native stock, in manv cases, so are the
grasses aud forage plants, cominc from for
eign soil better adapted to modern agricul
ture. It is not our intention to-, ignore the na.
tural pasture where a variety of nutritious
grasses are fuuud. Such a condition is very
often a source of profit to the stock raiser
and the dairyman. It becomes loo expen
sive an operation, however where land be
comes valuable. - It requT too much land
to support a single auimal. It is not an un
common sight to see farmers mowing na
tive meadows that do 1106 yield more than
one tou of iuferior hay per acre. Mauy of
the native pastures do not average a cow to
rive acre3, and some men of authority 011
the su'iject put it one cow to ten acres. Or
egon has outgrown this method and should
take a step upward. It is tho subject of
this bulletin to mention some of the forage
plants which have been tested on the Ex
perimental grounds and-'on the College
farm. In all cases, except the flat pea, the
plants have been used for several years iu a
practical way, as well as in certain experi
ments. The first on the list is clover. Clover is
king where it cau be grown successfully,
and that will include a large portion, if not
all, of Oregon, west of .the Cascade moun
tains. It has been successfully grown in
several parts of Eastern Oregon, but our ob
servations do not cover that portion of the
state. Many . native ' clovers are found
widely distributed over the western part of
thn state, and several of these are valuable
for hay and pasturage.
The yields of clover hay obtained on the
experimental grounds and on the farm are
very flattering, indeed. Iu 1893, a twenty
acre field yielded 69 tons, by actual weight.
The same field, in 1894, yielded 60 tous.
This is from one cutting. - The second
crop is usually well rilled witk seed; but we
have never made any atempt to save it, from
the fact there are no machines for cleaniug
the seed in this part of the state. Thresh
ing machines are sometimes used, but no
one seems to know how to operate them
for this purpose. . '
In making clover hay some pains must be
taken to prevent a serious loss. The leaves
ot the clover will dry much quicker thau
the stems; and if the hay lies spread on the
ground until the stem is dry, the leaves will
be lost. The best plan is to rake it np as soon
as it is thoroughly wilted and put it up in
not too large piles, where it will cure in
good weather, in from 24 to 36 hours. , It is
not a good plan to let it snd too long be
fore hauling it into the barn. . It may be a
little tough and apparently too wet to keep
it in the barn; but if there is no rain or
dew on it, it will suffer no harm if packed
closely in the hay mow. De not throw
open the barn doors to let iu air. Keep the
air away from it, and there will be no white
mould or musty hay when removed. The
theory of throwing open the barn doors, to
admit air to the hay has long since been ex
ploded. . Ijt is no longer practiced by mod
ern hay makers. Some farmers salt the
hay in the mow. " We do not; we prefer to
salt the stock by baud as often as de
sirable. .
fgWhile a calcareous soil is best adapted to
the growth of clover, it will grow upon a
sod which has a comparatively scanty sup
ply of lime. Clay loam seems to favor its
best development. ' There seems to be lime
enough, in either the white land or the
dark soil of the Willamette valley, for its
development. We have grown it on both
these soils with great success. It requires
considerable pota-.li; but this is found iu
most soils in sufficient abundance, especi
ally if gypsum is present to assist in set
ting the potash, free. . The white land,
where water does not stand too long, pro
duces large crops of clover.- Better results
are obtained, however, where Buck laud is
tile drained.
Cloer makes good silage, when properly
managed. It cannot be handled as easily as
corn, from the fact that it will not pack as
closely in the silo. It is more difficult to
exclude the air. 'lz must be very green t
when cut for silage and it is better to run it
through a feed cutter the same as corn. We
have had a very good sample of clover
silage made from whole clover; but there
was considerable loss about the walls, and
iu the corners of the silo. "Water is some-
imes put into the silo with the clover, so
that it will pack more closely and keep
more moist. Our silo was filled during
rainy weather, hence there was no need of
adding more water. The water ran from
the loads as they were drawn iuto the barn.
There is one advautage in placing it in the
silo, and that is, the rainy weather does not
interfere with the work. Sometimes the
wet weather continues so late that the clo
ver gets too ripe to make good hay. If you
have a silo, it can be cut at any time you
wish. As a soiling crop, or cutting for
green feed, clover is one of the most valu
able crops grown, it is ready to cut May
1st, aud will keep green, in favorable sea
sons, until July. lhe crop keeps green
much longer here than in the Eastern states.
where' there is more dry weather at this sea
son of the year.
Only a few reports of insect pests at
tacking clover have been reported to the
btation. The clover root borer has done
some damage in some portions of the Wil
lamette valley, but its depredations have
not been serious. The clover mite is also
here, but has not done any special damage
as far as knowu. The pocket gopher is the
most annoying pest we have to contend
with. Ia two or three years they will es -
tablish themselves very thoroughly iu a
clover field and do considerable damage.
Besides eating the roots of the plants, they
throw up mounds of earth, which hinder
the mowing machine. These pests cau be
poisoned in the winter by placing in their
burrows pieces of potato, which have been
charged with strychnine. The most ef
ficient remedy tried so far, however, is a
shovel, small dog and man, when the ground
is full of water, as it is many times in the
winter. Tho high water table drives the
gophers near the surface, the dog will scent
them, aud with a little help, will soon bring
thein to the surface. In this way, over
sixty were destroyed in one field in a few
hours. This will only work in localities
where the toil fills with water.

3ol King, one of Benton's thrifty and
enterprising farmers, and who has a large
orchard of various kinds of fruit, has been
making some experiments in growing
peaches. The Alberta, which is said to be
well adapted to our soil and climate, was
the variety selected. One tree planted
close-to the house on the south side, has
been in bloom three weeks and is making a
strong, thrifty growth. A tree set out at
the same time 011 the north side of the
buildiuu. however, has ' not vet bloomed
nor has it made such a vigorous growth as
the other one. The cause is attributed by
Mr. Kin" to th? blighting influence of the
cold north winds and he is of the opinion
that peach orchards should be invariably
planted in sheltered localities where the
trees are protected on the north.
