the knowledge, tnut so many forms ot

remedy with niillionsof families, mill is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who vulue (j.xxl health. Its bcncnciul

one remedy which promotes internal

all important, in order to get its bene

If in the enjoyment of good health,

one should have the best, and with the

We are fritim-uily asknl for a good
Rliltewusli for farm bulldliiKH mid

whitewash used by the I'tiitiil State
(ioverunu'iit fur tlio lt'htlioiisf ami

me cariHinie new of the air. It m
strained through a One sieve or cloth
and Hcveti iKiuuds of salt are addeil;
three pound of rice flour lK!le to a
thin paste, half a Miund of SKinlh
while and one pound of broken kIuc
steeped In cold water and then dissolv
ed In hot water, are theu added, and
when well mixed by stirring, tl o gal
lons of hot water are mixed lu and the
whole again stirred. This Is kept a few
day closely covered, when It Is ready
for use. It Is applied hot, being kept
In n kettle over a tire. This may be
colored a Utile brown by burnt umber,
or a cream yellow by yellow ochre. A
light gray Is made by adding a small
quantity of lamp black previously mix
ed with water nnd thoroughly stirreO.
One pint of this wash covers a square
yard.
A wash for fences or barns Is made
thus and will last for five years: Half
a bushel of frifili lime Is slacked, strain
ed and three pecks of hydraulic cement
are added, with water sutllclent to re
duce It to a proper liquid condition. Ten
pounds of burnt umber and one pound
of Venetian red are well mixed dry,
four ounces of lampblack killed with
Rullielcnt vinegar are then mixed with
water and added to the other materials.
The whole Is diluted to make a barrel
of thirty gallons. It must stand a few
days aud be frequently stirred before
used.
A wash for Inside work that will not
rub off Is made of one pailful of com
mon lime wash, to which Is added a thin
piiMte made of half a pint of flour and
boiling water. Farm, Field aud Fire
side. A Princely Occupation,
Farming always was a princely occu
pation, nnd so it will be to the end of
time. The farmer may not wear such
line clothes as the occupant of the city;
hut what of that? Is he any less the
man because of thut? AVhat though his
bands be hard, and his feet be roughly
shod? Shall we give him less regard?
In the wonls of the old song, we an
swer, "Nay, nay, nay." What Is better
for a man privileged to be Isiru lu the
country than that there he should re
main, that there he should lulmr and
live, and love, and die, while engaged
in the safest and surest of all callings?
Nine men out of every teu who set up
lu business fail. There Is not one In a
sinre of farmers who liecomes bank
rupt. As long as the world hints there
will he seed time and harvest. How
pre-eminently wise, therefore, to go on
and sow lu hoie and reap lu joy, and
at the end of the harvest to show our
gratitude by uniting with happy hearts
lu holding a harvest festival every
year? ltural Life.
Thrifty Hollander.
The proverbially thrifty Hollanders
manage to make a success of agricul
ture on very small farms. Seventeen
twentieths of all the farms In Holland
are less than Til) acres In extent, while
less than o per cent exceed WO acres.
The average sl.e Is .'Ml ncres. The sys
tem of Intense culture generally fol
lowed yields large return. The an
nual rental of farm lands varies from
$4.."o to $s.50 per acre In the pasture
regions, nnd as high as $-7 In sections
adjacent to big (it It. Farm laud Is
worth from Jmi to J."'11" per acre, the
highest price being paid for property
suitable for the cultivation of hemp
nnd (lowers, these latter forming the
only lauds the price of which has Uot
fallen during the pust dozen years.
Confinement of Swine.
' Confinement of swine is uot conducive
to healthfulness and lack of exercise
prevents a prois-r development of the
body, making It much more susceptible
to disease thitu when the animal Is giv
en a wide range and a variety of food,
says a writer lu an exchange. "We
hear a great deal of late lu regard to
producing bacon, nnd fuult Is found
j with our corn-fed hogs because tney
' are usually too fat. It is nn old adage
1 that 'there are none so blind as those
, who do not wish to see,' and the fact Is
! plain to those who understand the sit
uation, that no meat we can pnsluee
; would be acceptable to European na
tions. "The jsirk produced In the corn belt
of America from hogs raised on clover
! pasture and finished on corn Is not to
lie compared with tlwt made lu Kurol-e
from all kinds of swill aud refuse, fed
In a tilthy sty. There Is not mid cannot
be better or more delicious ork pro
1 dtic.il on this gloK- than that made
from grass and com when the hogs are
I properly handled, and this fact taxes to
1 the utmost the greatest of KuroM'ati
statesmen to clrcumveut Its production
among their people."

fucccsa In Dairying.
The foiiii.latlou of jour siiceesn In
dairying will dcN'iid tqion the quality
of your cows and the care and treat
ment that they receive at your hands.
Select cow with the recognized milk
form; cow with a disunion to con
vert food Into milk. Avoid buying mil
nini with a tendency to lay mi flesh.
While some lnvfy cow have proven
excelleut dairy animals, this Is the ex
ception, and Uot the rule. There I a
much difference between a dairy cow
mid a Is-ef cow as there Is between II
draft home and a trotting horse. You
would hot enter a draft horse lu a
eed contiKt with trotting atiltmils and
expect It to win a place; no more should

by using cow of the Wf hri-cds, or

weighed them and found them shrank

same he could have taken lu the Held

To I'revent Rust.
A practical machinist says he has
found the following mixture to 1h very
effectual In preventing machinery from
gathering rust: Melt together one hiuihI
of bird ami one ounce of gum camphor.
Skim the mixture carefully, and stir
lu It n sutllclent quantity of tine black
lead to give It a color like Iron. After
cleaning the machinery thoroughly,
smear it with this mixture nnd allow It
to renin lu thus for twenty-four hours.
Theu go over It with a soft cloth, rub
bing It clean. Treated thus, machinery
often retains Its brightness for several
years.
Education a Benefit.
Farming Is uot merely plowing, plant
ing, sowing aud gathering the harvest.
There are ninny other things to be
thought of, aud there Is where a good
cdticatlou 111 farming Is of great IsMietit.
We must study the composition of the
particular soil we have to farm, what
fertilizers are licst adapted to It, aud
what drainage Is necessary.
Corn llarYeatcra.
Corn harvesters are a success under
ordinary conditions, and they will be
Improved as experience points out the
need uud menus of Improvement. This
Invention promises to do more than any
ether, save ht1ihis the improved culti
vator, to reduce the cost of coru to the
producer.
Horticultural Klnta.
Belter thin the fruit than prop tho
tree.
California has only one-third of a crop
iu peaches aud apricots this year.
1'cach trees often fall to do well, es
IH'dally on old land, for the want of
mineral plant food.
Ho not plant trees lu the garden. One
large tree, even In a corner of the gar
deli, will shiI1 u good is. rt Ion of It.
There Is no U'tter rod raspberry than
the Cuthliert. It succeeds everywhere,
and under high culture Is exceedingly
productive of high-flavored and large
berries.
The Is-st plants of the blackberry and
red raspberry are obtained by cutting
trong, vigorous roots in pieces, four
or live Inches long, and planting about
eight inches apart in drills.
There Is room for the hybridizer lu
the case of gooseherrli's. Our native
ones are too small, and the foreign one
tiKi much subject to mildew. Seed
lings ls-twii'h two generally result lu
mi Improvement.
Iu the tlower garden, as well as the
vegetuble one, it should be remembered
tluit when a plant Is permitted to ripen
seeds Its growth for the season Is nliout
over. The moral Is to cut off all decay
ing flowers as soon us they are per
ceived, thut growth mid other flowers
may succeed.
Gulls Meal from Ducks. v
Thousand of big white gulls mid
countless numls-rs of water fowl have
Is-en driven by cold weather to the
South Jersey const, where they tlnd
plenty of food during the w intry days.
At the upjHT end of Sea Isle City, New
Jersey, a bar Juts out Into Corson's
Inlet nnd this sixit seems to Ik- a favor
ite, nlace with the blnls. Sand cralw
and clams form the prlninl f'ssl of
the blnls. The clams find little protii--tlon
within their hard covering, for
lint tire has taught the gulls a way of
reaching the contents.
Catching a large clam In their talons,
the birds rise skyward to a height of
twenty or thirty reel mm n-t un ommr
fall to the bard beach Im-Iow. 1 his
metlnMl of clam-ois-nitig usimlly is suc-
cesful at the tlrst attetuiit.
The large Skua gulls ore not altoget ti
er des'llilent Uh.II themselves for what
they eat. They are inveterate thlevi-s,
and not only will steal from one mi
other, but they will rob the ducks of
many a hard-earned morsel.
All winter long large flocks of duck

It lack to I'nrls, hut lu the margin

!sl I'orre-l'clitli nee,
Fortlsul, Or.. Nor. 3. In my letter
la-twe.k, lu toft it nee to the club of
FortUud, whtlat I, by no mean, meant
to give a complete club directory, iu
mintiouiiig the more prominent,!
did, it wa accidental on my pari that
I neglected to apeak of the road club,
cr, more properly speaking, the Hood
Komls Club.
If 1 tie uot mistaken, that club haa
the largest lit of member of any club
lure The club orcuptet the msuaiou
of the late Hanker lVkuiu. The honse,
ou a quarter block, haa been remodelsd,
and a bowling alley haa been bull!
apart. The real of the whole block ii
a beautiful garden, where lawu partlr
are given iu mild aud clear weather,
bunting aix feet high being atretcbed
about tbo garden to keep those from
teeing w ho have not paid to get iu.
The object cf the club 1 to euouur
age good road, bnl it pursuit aeema
rather to be sociability. The club hat
aroun d lome interest lu good road, but
I fear that thi ha beeu somewhat
ameliorated by a recent city ordiuance
permitting bicycle ou the lidewalka,
provided the ridera diamouut within
thirty feet of any pedestrian approach
ing which the rider do not do with
a xraloui fidelity to their own elegant
comfort that i wotthy of a better cause.
You'll find tho advertisement of

llefore uow, you hare doubtleat read
of the recovery of Mra. Dickenson, at
Mount Angel, Oregon, from apparent
death, October 18, aa the undertaker
wa nhout to fiiMeuthe lid on the oofllu
preparatory to taking the oorpee;?) to
the church where fuueral aervlcea were
to be held. Tho lady died v?) Friday.
The funeral wa tet for Sunday after
noon. The little church at Ml Angel
was filled with friend Suudsy after
noou, the pall spread for tbeooRln, and
the minister ready to oflloiatu. After
waiting over bait an hour for the ar
rival of the fuueral prooesiion, me
aenger wat tent to discover the cause
of the delay. Soon the information
wa returned that Mra. Dickenaon had
returned to life, aa above related.
Theae fact 1 obtained from the min
ister myself, who la a worthy, reliable
aud truthful gentlemau. That wat
truly a uarorw vecape from being
buried alive. My preaeut Information
i that there are bopea of Mrs. Dick
euaon'a permanent recovery.

thrown an immense ttock of men'a aud

The rainy iratou hat about tot in,
aud uot for yean hare Fortlandert bad
a better opportunity of experiencing
the benetita of the excelleut new ttreet
pavemeutt that I have recently referred
to In thia corrnapoudenoe. - Heretofore,
walking iu tho busiuesa oeuter of thit
oity, during the rainy teaaon, hat been,
I might aay, almost perilous; certainly
It waa experimental, for no man oould
lull when he put hi foot down in the
alLugha between the rowa of buildlugt,
whether he would reat bit aole ou
tump or in the bottom of a tuuken
uiudsoow. The new ttreett add to
comfort aud give iinpctua to trade at
the stores, which amply repayt the out
lay for good paving.
An interview with II. W. Hoott, editor
of the Oregoulan, and with Hylveater
1'iiiuoyer, mayor of Fortlaud, may ap
pear in my next letter, after the eloo
tlun, if the interview! oan be bad. Ah I
If both of them would ouly apeak their
Inmost mludt on the reault of the elec
tion, it would prove interesting if not
iuitructlve reading. L'.tKIEL.
