Tho general tendency among farmers is to sell tho grain, rather than feed it, long boforo tho parting of tho ways hns boon reached, and it is a knowledge of this fact that nssuros tho skillful and persistent feeder of a profit. Tho parting of tho ways comes very soon to tho majority of feeders. Ono man may bo telling tho exact truth when ho says that ho can mako no profit in feeding sovonty-flvo-cont wheat, and nnothor may bo equally truthful when ho ay ho can mako a profit in feed. Ing ono-dollnr wheat. Tho difference in tho two men is a differenco in skill in reeding, with good stock and good rnro tho skillful feeder will mnko a profit In feeding high-priced grain, but no ono enn mako a profit with poor stock nnd poor enro at any price for vrnin. ,!. , . . . ... ino prico oi wnont is Higher now than it hns been for probably ten or fifteen yonrs, and it is frequently said that it is too high to fend to chickens, Two or throe things should bo con sidered in this connection.

Tho cost of tho total food per fowl for tho year varied in different pens from 01 cents to 78 cents, and averaged (50 conts. The wheat wns clinrgcd at cent a pound, corn at l'i cents, oats nt a cent, skim milk at a fifth of a cent and bran and shorts at three fifths of a cent. The nnimnl food cost from 0 to 0 cents por fowl. Tho wheat constituted nearly u half of tho total cost. The hens laid nn nvorngo of 144 eggs por fowl, valued nt $1.0S at local prices for eggs. Tho prices were from 10 cents to 25 cents per dozen, much lowor thnn tho pricos nro in Oregon nt tho prosont time. If wheat had been worth, say, 00 cents nnd hnd been charged for at that rate, and bran nt 1 cent n pound, tho cost per fowl would lmvo been about 10 cents moro, or 80 cents instead of 00 conts. But oggs aro also higher in price than they wcro then.

In othor words, on tho bnsis of present prices, food costing 80 conts when fed to hons produces oggs worth $2.f8. This is a protty good margin of profit in feed ing 00-cont whoat. It may bo said that tho avorago flock of hons doos not lay 144 eggs per fowl. That is true. It is also truo that 144 eggs por fowl is not phonoin- onnl.

Botanists do not usually rccoinilzo any differenco be tweon mushrooms and toadstools. Tho best way is t luarn to recoijnizo cor tain species of cdiblo mushrooms, oven though tho nutnbor bo few. A common variety, known botanlcnlly as 'Agaricus crtii) poHt ri.'is L.,' is not poisonous, and by tho following description you may lie ulilc to recognize it "Tho stem is cylindrical, or tapers a littlo toward tho lower end. Near its upper end is a sort of collar, usually termed n 'ring,' which encircles it. This is very delicate, whito like tho stem, and of very thin, satiny tcxturo, Tho circular, expanded disk into which tho stem fits is called tho 'cap.' Tho surface is sometimes whito, although sometimes brownish, and usually cov ercd by a thin layer of dclicato threads. Tho flesh or inner portion is moro com pact, nnd is white also. Numerous thin plates, or 'gills,' aro on tho under side of tho cap, which radiate from near tho stem to the margin of thp cap. When tho plant is very young tho gills aro first whito, but soon becomo a dark, pink color, nnd in age changes to dark brown. TMu substnnco of tho stem is loss compact at tho center, but tho stem is not really hollow, though in so mo in stances thero aro slight indications of it. This mushroom will bo found in sod, whoro shade is plentiful "Jt is probable that the mushroom rospotisiblo for a majority of tho deaths from eating this plant is tho Amanita phnlloidcs. liy a novice, it might ens ily bo taken for the Agaricus campes- tns. However, tho former usually oc curs in tho woods, whilo tho edible va rioty just described occurs in opcu places. Professor G. F. Atkinson, of tho botany division of the Cornell univcr sity agricultural experiment station, do scribes the Amanita phalloidcs as fol lows: "It is pure white, and possesses an annulus or collar, but what is most important tho base of the stem rests in n cup-liko envelope called the volva. . Tho pilous in this form is smooth, viscid to tho touch, nnd pure white, ns is also tho annulus, stem and volva, though tho latter is soiled by particles of earth. Tho stem is nearly cylindrical, tapering slightly from tho bulbous base. It is hollow, or stuffed with cottony, mycelial threads. Tho gills aro usually puro. whito, even in ago, nnd aro nearly freo from tho stem Whon decaying tho plant emits a very disagrconbio odor." troni Wasmngton Statu collcgo, Pullman. Ati inquiry which will bp of interest to fruit growors of southwestern Wash ington nnd northwestern Oregon was referred to tho department of horticul ture It follows: "Kindly givo mo somo advice con cerning tho growing of raspberries and blackborrics under the conditions found in southwestern Washington. 1 would bo obliged to you for information con- corning tho growing of plums, cherries nnd npplcs in this region." Professor V. a. Thornber replied: "You will havo no difficulty in growing raspberries and blackberries in your part of the country, providing you nso good judgment in selecting your va rieties nnd in planting. If tho low land is well drained you had ' bottor plant blackborrics, but if tho land is not well drained you will havo difficulty in growing any form of smnll fruit thoro. However, tho blackberry will como nonror to growing in poorly drained land than tho raspborrics will, in choosing vnriotios of blnckborrios, uso tho Mam moth for extra early, tho Snyder for middlo early and tho Evergreen for late. Itaspborrios roquiro a dryer and, especially, well drained soil, nnd with such conditions in your part of tho Btato you should bo ablo to grow ro ninrkable crops of thorn.

Tho Peach, tho Yellow Egg, tho Trngody, tho Willnrd, tho Lom bard nnd othor vnriotifs almost without number will do well in tho rogion you refer to. Almost nny cherry will suc- cood thoro. Tho lioynl Anns, tho Btngs, tho Lnmborts and tho May Dukos would bo good vnriotios to plant.

The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition, External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore arc beneficial only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors that arc causing the trouble. S, S. S. drives out the humors from the blood so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin disease or affection.
