Kow is the time when the nvcr.ige editor -pushes the latist essay on rats into the waste basket, has the "devil" scratch his bead with sandpaper, while thinks of a brau new joke on the picnic. After a half day of .sweating and sweariug ha kicks the "devil" into the wheucciiess of the wherefore nnd .il.spenitely pens down something like this: "Now It t us to the woodland, where tr es .their verdure wrap, for spring no longer lingers in old hurley Winter' lap. In pic nic garb we'll ninlilo forth and sit beneath the trees, and have our hide all chopped and .bucked with stings of bumble-bees.

We'll swallow picnic lemonade to moisten down our grub, which people make by soaking one cheap leniou in a tub.

Then let us to the picnic hie, our baskets in our hand, sod homeward come filled up with woe, and dust ami leaves and sand." The Salmon Run.

It up penrs that they dirt not notice tho approach of the train, for when they got on the track it was so close upon them that they had to jump for their lives. The cowcatcher struck the two horses and literally disemboweled them both, and completely demolished the '.wagon. How Mr. Glaudon nnd his sou es. raped without injury is a mystery. It is id that the train approached entirely with out warning, and that when the men discov ered it, jt wns so near that they had not time to save the horses, which were valuable. titatesmnu.

The following is what Judge Davis, a level headed Illinois man, says of the local news paper. We publish it for the benefit of some who sponge their rending or are perpetually growling because things are not tun to suit them: "Every year every local paper gives from S100 to $5000 in free lines for the sole benefit of the vicinity in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The local editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and iu all fairness, man with man he ought to bv supported, uot because you may happen to like him or admire his writing, but la-cause a local paper is the tcst invest ment a community can make. To-day the editors of the local papers do the most work for tho least money of any mcu on earth. Sulisciibe for your local paper, not as chari t v, but as an investment. Letter List.

Albert, of Salmi, some time sinoa sent to tho government entomologist at Washington a specimen of the lly which has been so annoying to horses during the past spring and summer, and asked him to examine and name it, and suggest some re lief to the suffering animals. Ho received the following reply: Washington, D. C, July 10, 18sS. Mr. J. II. Albert, Salem, Oregon Dear Sir: Iu the absence of Prof. Riley, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours of June '20th inclosing specimeu ot a lly which i bit ing your horse. This tly prove to be a specie of of the genu Stoiuoxys and is so close to the Eastern species Cuh'ilrans that I hardly care loiepurale them, especially as your specimen was flattened and biokon, S. Caleitruus is a well known luting fly in tho United States, seldom entering house except just before or during n rain, and its close resemblance to a common house fly has given rise to the supposition that the house fly bite only'iu wet weather. The species nre seldom abundant enough to cause any injury to stock, although the present spring wo have hud accounts from Slurylund and New Jersey of considerable annoyance caused to cattle by them. We have'found that fish oil is the most admira ble preparation to protect stock from the bites of this lly and from the Buffalo gnat. A reliable correspondent of ours states that in tho absence of fish oil he uses tallow with sufficient pine tar added to tuiike it stick the hair together, tint not enongu 10 uinae cause the hair to full off. Your truly, it L. O. How a iil, Acting Entomologist. A Sew Way to Destroy FcriiM. M. Mouuier suggests tho following plan for the eradication of ferns, which h suc ceeded in his case. Lucerne has a voracious appetite for potash, nnd so has the tern. He sowed lucerne on the infested soil, and found it o disputed the potash with the fern, that the latter dwindled and died out. New Zealand could well try the experiment. -Ex. And we ndd, why not Oregon? It is only too well known by farmers throughout the state that there are largo tracts of otherwise fertile land that do not yield ono half of what thoy might, if rid of the fern pest. Aud when we consider tho fact that lucerne is also a valuable forage-plant, and nn excel lent subsoiler. its deep running roots bring ing to the surface large quantities of fertiliz ing material, not otlierwiso olitaliialile; it would seem to admirably supply u long-felt want. It is extensively and profitably cul tivated in Europe and parts of our own counlry.and turineisnf Lane couuy and oth er purls ol the state would evidently forward tli.tir own interests by bringing it into more general use here.
