EUGENE CITY GUARD. f, L. C A HI BE LI PrprleUr. EUGENE CITY, OREGON. OLD HAYSEED. How He Humiliated the Champion Nport of I'roocl Michigan Town. "Talking about "ports," said a Goth amite to a Daily Nvws man a few days ago, "reminds mo of an experionce I once bad. It occurred in Michigan, and it happened several years ago, but the boys haven't got through talking about it yet There was a great rivalry between the town in which I resided and one a few miles distant in all lines of port. In tho athletic lino I was con udered tho best, and so whenever any running, jumping or wrestling event was to come oil' I was the one to make the trial against all comers. I bad no trouble in defeating my opponent in a majority of the events," and as a conse quence tho sport of the neighboring town lost heavily. It worried them more than a little, and in order to get even with us they put up a job on us in the following manner: W hilo a man who had lost the most money by my successes, a supporter of mine and my self were lounging about tho only re sort in tho town, a load of hay was driven np in front of the place. A long, lank specimen of humnnitv, dressed in S blue-cheeked shirt, overalls tucked in his boots, and wearing on his hend a straw hat minus a crown, slid oil' the load and entered the store. The new comer pretended to have a severe pnln in the region of his stomach, and sought remcdv as an excuse to get into the place. When he came in Dan, tho man who had lost money by betting against mo. was handling a pair of thirteen pound dumb-bells, which attracted the attention of tho farmer. Dan asked him if he knew what they wero, and he said no. lie was told they wero used in Jumping, when tho granger volunteered the information that he could beat his paw jumpin'. Dan at once ofl'ered to bat the drinks that the farmer couldn't beat any one of the three in the room. Hayseed objected, sav ing he didn't have but ten cents, llo was forced into tho trial, however, despite his protests that If ho lost his paw would lick him. and in tho contest waa beaten two feet by the poorest Jumper. Then he began to cry. Dan wouldn't let up on him and asked him if he could do any thing elso in tho way of athletics. Through his tears ho re plied that ho could run, when Dan of fered to bet twenty dollars against the load of hay, which tho farmer held at the samo price, that ho couldn't beat me running ono hundred and fifty yards. Just then a liveryman camo in and, after giving us all a blowing-up for abusing a green farmer boy, gave tho price asked for the hay to the granger, and went out. Dan snatched the money out of his hand and told him that ho'd got to run, whether he wanted to or not, and finally coaxed him to do so. The report that a mutch had been made spread through tho tmually quiet street like wlldliro, and It was not many min utes before several men from tho ad Joining town wero eagerly taking all tho bets they could get, and they wero many, for my frlonds rallied around me, and after a glance at the Hayseed read ily ofl'ered odds of four to one on mv success. The distance was measured off, but when I went to tho starting point Hayseed was nowhere to be seen. Fi nally I discovered him sitting in a cor ner of a field some distance awav, and on getting to him found him blubbering away at tho loss of his' money. Sud denly ho checked himself, and, looking tip, asked if wo would have a scratch start. A greenhorn never would have asked such a question, and then I knew Dan had run in a ringer on us. While I was thus thinking the farmer slipped off hissuit of blue and displayed a beau tiful racing suit. Wo ran, and I was beaten easily fifteen feet. The alleged farmer I found out was McFaul, a noted runner from Canada, who had been im- wrted purposely to down our gang, ami io did it beautifully to tho tuno of $2,500. Chicago Sews. AN INNOCENT MAN. Why Dakota Court ('mialilereil Charg of Murilor Malicious lVrr ullon. The trial of a man for murder had Just commenced in a Dakota court when tho attorney for tho defeuse arose ud said; "If tho court please, wo have no fear as to tho outcome of this trial. In tho testimony we shall prove that the mur der was oommltteed four miles from town at 2 o clock In tho afternoon Me shall also establish the fact that there was a circus in town that day." "Ilolil on," said the judge, excit edly, "you say there was a circus in town?" "Yes, sir, the Anti European Con glomeration showed there that day." "Yes, I've seen it two rings, a SHitted grave digging hyena and seven lady bare-back riders. You sav tho man was killed about two o'clock f" "Yes, your honor." "Just the time of tho ring parade?" "The same time." "While the elephant and double humped camels wero going around?" "Yes sir." "Tho prisoner Is discharged. Trying to prove that a man was four miles away from town on such an occasion is looked mon as malicious persecution by this court. The unfortunate gentle man who was found dead without doubt committed suicide when he realized that lie was in that kind of a position him self." EstclUtm (I). T.) Jirll. Fifteen years ago a little company of Swedish colonists came to Maine, sailed up the St. John Kiver and made a home in tho Aroostook wilderness. There are now nearly eleven hundred souls in the colony at New Sweden, with two churches, six schools and many well-tilled farms. "Children in tho Woods" the colonists call them selves. They are hard workers, the women with their wooden shoes toiling n Uie fields with the men, and, unlikt most Immigrants, they have furnished no recruits for our poor-houses and iaihulMland Aram.

This stately, if somewhat course look h nlant, has some claims on the atten (ion of those who keep poultry, aside for ts use for ornament, in the value of the seed for feeding. The quick growth of the plants, and the ample shado they soon Afford if planted where fowls as semble, is also an argument in their fa vor. An enthusiastic grower of the plant in connection with poultry keeping, thus speaks of it in the Poultry Journal: As a shade for fowls and growing chicks the plants are unequaled ; the birds prefer ring them to the cornfield, shubbery or artificial shado of any kind. Again a given quantity of ground will produce more bushels of sunflower seed than oi corn, and it is certainly Hujwrior as poul try food. I plant it in rows three to three and a half feet apart and twelve U eighteen inches in the rows. I cultivaU with a horse when I find the hoe is toe tedious. Such a distance between th rows affords excellent space for tho coopt of hens with their broods. Tho planU make excellent shade, and the occasion' al cultivation gives the chicks fresh earth to enjoy themselves in. When the seedi are sufficiently ripened for foo I I bend the storks of the smaller heads over, sc the flowers will hang about twelve incite from the ground. This allows the cliickt and fowls to do their own harvesting ol these ; but leaves the larger ones to ripen fully, when they may bo gathered and threshed with a flail, 'run through the fanning mill and kept for future use. No other food will at all compare with them to produce eggs to give a fine glossy plumage. A FINK llni'DAN EGO RECORD. Having come to this state for my health three years ago and settled here a year and a halt since and started fruit-irrow- ing, last fall I added poultry-keeping to the business, I started with six breeds of fowls Wyandottes, Plymouth Hocks, Langshans, White Leghorns, Houdans and black-breasted Red Games obtained from the best fanciers of this country. I intended to keep only two varieties, but wanted, by actual experience, to decide which two I preferred. I have four Hou- dan hens which are exceptionally fine layers, itiev wero all hatched in May, 18S5, and on M.irch 11th last I separated the various breeds into breeding pens From that date to April 17th these four hens laid izi ecus, all quite large an nearly white 125 out of a possible 148 if each laid an egg a day for the '.U days, The lowest number of eggs laid in any single week was 21 ; the highest 25. This is away ahead of anything else in the same line around here. The great pro duction m in tho breed more than in the feed, in this case at any rate : for being novice In poultry-keeping, I do not know enough of the business to push the hens to their utmost capacity. I feed no eg' gine " or any other stimulating food ; they get no more than ordinary teed and care the same as the other chickens. Who can beat this record four Houdan hens lay 125 eggs in 37 days, or at the rate ol 810 eggs a year apiece 1 Col. Con. Rurdi Jtw loiter. PEED FOR B OTTER. It is not necessary to feed oily food foi a large production of butter. On th contrary, nitrogenous food mixd with selected food rich in starch and peculiar! j well flavored fatty matter is preferable It is a fact that oils taken into the digest ive apparatus are largely absorbed direct ly by the blood and are carried, without cnange, into the milk, thus giving to the butter a flavor like that of the food. Bui when peas, bran, malt, sprouts, and othei food rich in nitrogonous elements, and fats which have an agreeable flavor, art useu wun cornmeai or other starchy lood the whole is thoroughly well digested and pass into blood and the milk in i changed form, and not directly. Th butter is thus of a better quality than when oil meals are fod. The selection ol food for dairy cows is a matter for the greatest care, and also for individual ex periment. A good mixture of food for cows used for making butter is 100 pounds of peas, or Southern cow peas, 200 pounds of corn and 2(H) pounds of fine wheat or rye bran, all ground together. To eight quarts of this meal may bo added four quarts of thoroughly soaked malt sprouts ano ono oi cotton-seed meal lor a full daily allowance, divided into three feeds for a largo, full-milking cow. iV.

BRIEF NOTES. Leave plenty of potato to your potato eye if you want strong planta. The Savoy drumhead cabbage is one oi me oest late varieties ever cultivated.
