By the new freight schedule of the Northern Pacific Railroad, shippers of wheat from Eastern Oregon are obliged to pay fifty cents more per ton to Seattle than to Tacoma. In order to meet this discrimination and enable the shippers to lay. down their wheat as cheaply at Seattle as at Tacoma, the citizens of Seattle are raising a fund to cover the excess railroad charge, with the conviction that if the two cities are placed on an equality the bulk of this year's crop will be handled at Seattle.

Palmer fc Rey, proprietors f tho largest and most complete tyte foun dry on the Pacific coast, burned out at San Francisco. Loss estimated between $50,000 and $75,000. This fire throws some ninety hands out of employment until the firm can get their building into a proper condition, aud readjust their stock. Palmer & Rey say the fire will not effect their Los Angelcsor Portland, Or., branches, as both carry a complete stock inde pendent of San Francisco. They ex pect to be in shape to handle their largo trade inside of two or three weeks. The report of the Director of the Mint will bo about the most interest ing and instructive document to be is sued from the government printing oDice this year. It shows that the to tal production of gold of the United States last year was $.'4,8G'J,000, an increase of $3,063,000 over that of the previous year, so that inctead of ex hauBting our mines, as some experts predicted would lie the case soon, we are actually increasing our production of precious metals. California, the pioneer, not content with having come to the front as a grower of grain and fruit, still leads all States in her yield of gold, being credited last year with $19,720,000. Colorado furnifhes$4,450,- 000; Montana, $4,425,000; Nevada, $3,090,000; Dakota, $2,700,000 ; Idaho, $1,800,000, and Arizona $1,110,000. Alaska produced $146,000 last year, against $300,000 in 1885, so that if she keeps adding to her gold product at this rate she will toon have paid for herself. Georgia, New Mexico, the Carolinas, Oregon, Utah and nash ington aggregated $112500. AGRICULTURAL Devoted to the InterceU of Farmer and Stockmen. Haw U Halve Alfalfa, A correspondent of a California pa per gives tho following as his expe rience in the cultivation of alfalfa: Alfalfa an a fodder plant Is coming more and more into general ue and ravor, both for horses and cows, and, iu (act, all kinds of stock, hoirs not ex cepted. I am inclined to think that there is no fodder plant that will continue in full bearing equal to the above, if prop erly handled. Seven yean ago this coining March I sowed about three-fourths of an acre, and for years this block has furnished feed for a span of horses and a cow en tirely, excepting a few pumpkins, and I have ld considerable hay. For the past three years my horse has had uo grain whatever. As for my cows, I find that they do far better, both in re gard to milk and butter, ou alfalfa alone, than cows do in the States with a good supply of milk feed. This plant keeps green tbe year round, for we sel dom have frost in this country to kill Uie young growth. My experience leads me to advise those who desire planting alfalfa to plow very deep (uiljsoilihg is far bet ter) and pulverize thoroughly; sow thirty pound of seed, not less, to the acre and brush it iu lightly. By this plan you gain three points : First, you get a good ttand, which can be ob tained only at the first seeding. Sec ond, the stools will bo much finer, and thud, you will get a greater amount of hay. Unless you can irrigate, I would advise sowing in the fall after the first rain. I have sowed in November. We usually cut four times tho first year after seeding ; after that from six to eight times during the year. It is usually cut when fairly in blossom. If it begius to lodge it may be cut sooner. The earliest I ever commenced har vesting was the 20th of March, and finibhed tho 5th of January, cutting eight crops that year. As for the yield that depends very materially on the care given. The average is from one half to two tons per acre at a cutting. Five crops of hay and one of seed are often grown in one season. When the gophers are troublesome I adviso, after a newly seeded track is settled, to throw out a ditch twelve or fourteen inches wide and sixteen or eighteen inches deep ; then sink an old leaky oil can down in the bottom of the ditch so that the top of the can will be llnsh with the bottom of the ditch. By this dovice you can keep the gopheis out entirely. In case you can irrigate, this ditch will carry a head of water (100 inches), and by striking a tapoon across you can flood your whole ground. I have used this kind of ditch for several yaars with marked success. My mode of treatment with alfalfa is this: After this has been sown three or four years I apply a sharp harrow, well weighed down, say 200 pounds, and give it a thorough appli cation both ways, and then an appli cation with a heavy bush, which causes the stools to start very vigorously aud also levels the Burfuce of the ground. To secure the greatest amount of feed it is desirable to cut it instead of pas turing it. Never allow stock to tramp over aud pack tho ground. Some object to alfalfa, saying that stock fed upon it are liable to bloat. So will stock fed upon Eastern clover. I here give a remedy that has never beeu known to fail in a single instance : Get an ounce of colocynth, drop six drops on a tcuspoonful of pulverized sugar for horse or cow, place it well back on tho tongue; aud if not re lieved reiieat the dose in twenty nun ules. With this remedy at hand there is no need of losing any slock from blont. Butter oo the Farm, There are many ways by which tho butler produced on tho farm might be improved in quality and quantity, and the proceeds increased from 20 to 50 per cent. TIhih a farmer who takes to town only $5 worth of butter a week gets $260 a year ; if he can add 25 per cent to that he gets $390, and the ex tra $130 would buy a good many things wanted in the household and on the farm ; and yet by a little lur ther effort he can make the amount fully double the original $260 and have $520 without additional coRt of money or labor. A part of what would conduce to this cud is stated by a correspondent thus: "Since 1870 I have weighed all my milk nieht and morning. My best cow gives 8,000 to 9,000 tts of milk H!T year. I have three or four that do that I havo ten that give 7,000 fcs. Cows that give less than 5,000 fts I sell A cow yielding 5.000 s of milk a year will, at 22 Ds of milk to one pound of butter, yield 222 2-9 B.s of butter; but at 16 Us of milk to pound of butter it will be 312J- Ss of butter, a difference of about 90J Us of butter in favor of proper feeding, which Big multiplied by the price per tound tho farmer receives, say 30 cents, equals $27 10 which the fanner loses each year. armers lose by low leea inir. High feeding gives greater re fcUlta." This weighing of the milk, testing the cows, and knowing to a dollar what one is doing is a great help to the dairy farmer, and for that matter to every farmer. It enables him to get rid of the poor milkers and to re place them with good ones ; and the latter cost no more to keep or to nan die than the former. Then he can im prove his produce by breeding to a bull of a good milking strain, and thus add additional quarts to each head daily. Again, he can study what feed is best calculated to increase the flow of milk. He can save ico, and thus keep his but ter in better condition and take it to tho ice itfelf. He can get with this extra gain tho best implements instead of using the porcst and meanest; and with im proved pans, churn, creamer anil worker, make his butter worth 10 to 15 cents a pound more, and tho people to run after him for it. It is no mean thing for the people to say: "Such a farmer makes the best butter brought to this town, and we indeed cannot get all we want, for everybody wants it." Such a man takes a pride in having the best cows, breeding to tho Ut bull, making the moct uiter, having the name for tho very best, and getting tho highest price. But how many neglect all of these poiuts aud make the poorest and mean est stuff that goes to a market 1 Treating Balky Harare. First, pat the horse on tho neck, ex amine him carefully, first on ono side then on the other ; if you can get him a handful of grass, give it to him, and speak encouragingly to him, aud jump into Uie wagon and give the word go, and he will geuerally obey. Second, takiug the horse out of the shafts, and turning him areund in a circle until he is giddy, will generally start him. Third, a author way to cure a balky horse is, place your hand over his. nose and shut off his wind until ho wants to go. Fourth, then, agaiu, tako a couple of turns of stout twine around tho fore legs just below' the knee, tight ouough for the horse to feel it ; tie in a bow-knot. At the first click he will probably go dancing off. After going a short distance you can got out and remove the string, to prevent injury to the tendons, tilth, again, you can try the following: Take the tail of tho horse between tho hind legs, and tie it b) a cord to the saddle girth. Sixth, the last remedy I know is as follows: Tie a string around, the horse's ear, close to head. This will attract his attention and start him. lORTLAXI rnODlCA HABKET. BUTTKB Fancy roll, f Xb.

Harris, who lives near Chico, Cal., at an elevation of 1,400 foot, has a number of tea plants growing on his ranch, and they seem to do as well as in their native land. Mr. Harris raises and cures all tho tea his family uses. When you dig the early iHjtatoes don t leave the laud to grow up in weeds, but as soon as a row is dug cul tivate till mellow, and rut in cabbage, late corn, or something else. Sweet corn planted in August will mske good cow feed More frost, and if it did not make anything would pay to plant and cultivate it to keep the ground clean. Many a good crop is sometimes al most ruined by nrglecting to harvost it at the proper time. Corn fodder be comes dry and weather beaten if al lowed to remain too long in the field. Oats, buckwheat, rye aud other grain crops waste very much if allowed to stand after they are ripo. Potatoes and other root crops are often dam aged by remaining too long iu tho ground. The potato onion produces no seed, and no small bulbs on its stalks, iu the manner of most of the onion family, Its method of increase is from the bulb, which is planted. From the spring set, a number of bulbs of va rious sines will be formed, beneath tho surface of the ground, and around the old one. These, toward fall, will form the same as from seed, begin to swell at the bottom and form the onion. Towards tho fall, usually in Septem ber, the top begins to change to yel low. When this is taking place the bulb is ripening. Whon all the tops are dead the crop may be taken from the ground, by the hand or point of a hoe or rake. Leave them on the ground, subject to sun and wind, for a number of days. Then thoroughly dry, trim off balance of tops and roots, aud they are ready for winter storing in any dry place, where no great cold or heat can reach them, but where they can be kept perfectly dry. Beyond the slightly additional fast colt every one knows.or ought to know, that it does not cost a dollar more to raise a good horse or cow than it does to feed a poor one. And yet on every hand we can see calves and colts of breeds unknown to the herd-book be ing reared only to be sold at less than the cost of keeping. Take two far mers: ono will begrudge the $25 or $.'0 necescary for the service of a good blooded stallion and will raise colis re quiring an original outlay of only $10 or fli). v nen mo con is tnrce years old it is sold for f'0 or $60, or less, and the unenterprising farmer growls about the lack of profit in clock raising, and says a colt cannot be sold for enough to pay for his feed. His neighbor how ever, has better sense. He pays a fair price for the getting of a colt of good breed, and when it reaches maturity he has no trouble in selling it for any where from $100 to $500. He pockets his profits and naturally enough con eludes that there are few branches of farming which pay better than tho rearing of wtU-ered uorsos. 19 1 ...... 13(9 27 i 80 m la ulrkled IS fid Chkkss Enntern, full crram 15 (!)
