REVERSING EXTREMES.
A few months ago Astoria was, prac
tically, a "closed town." The people
hare intimated at the polls, their wil
lintmesa for the cames to open up. or
D "
at least, have shown an indifference that
amounts to acit permission in tha
premises, and now there are plenty of
rumors, at all the game-sides in the city
that Astoria has been chosen as the point
for the establishment of an "American
Monte Carlo." The. transition is swift
and far-reaching, and if the further con
sent of the people is necessary for the
inauguration of the wholesale scheme
now afoot, it can undoubtedly be had.
it is a quality of fame, however, which
will not react with any credit to the
city, and there might better be some
long, hard hinking done, before the ac
tuality arrives.
CIVIC INFLUENCE.
The four improves ent clubs of this
city should do a bit of thinking along
the lines of their especial mission in the
municioal field, should dve trenchant
thought to the civic influences they may
weild here, not in a political sense par
ticularly, though even in that realm
they may serve as a safety-valve upon
occasion, but peculiarly, in the. com
mercial future of Astoria. By carefully
mapping out wholesome and welcome
theories and programs and compelling
pubic attention to the cogent conclusions
they may declare for, they may become
a commanding and valuable agency fop
progress.
Do you pick up sample packages of
headache powder that may happen to

stop all your aches permanently.

PRUNING THE PEACH.
Method of Jerary Orowvra AVor4
Wide t holoe f Way.
If poach trees a 10 011 strong, rich laud
and are not cut buck, the tops will prob
ably be too Ittrtro In proportion to th
roots; hence I would cut buck ono-thlrd
of new growth, but do no Inside prim

where the fruit Is at three yours old.
I would prune nuy time from now ou.
A. K. It., Sussex County, X. J.
The ojily rule to follow In pruning a
penoh orchard should bo to keep th
treo as low headed ns possible; to keep
nil growth from the Inside of the tree,
ns tli at growth Is away from the light
and sun uud therefore w eak and uuablt
to bear good fruit. My advice would
be to cut out all the weak limbs ami
twigs from the luslde of the tree, so at
to admit the sun and allow a free clr
culutlon of air through the tree. Cut
back to oue foot all tho top or upright
growth of last yenr.-E. S. Black, New
Jersey.
The life of a peach treo Is too short
and Its crop tx uncertain to prune It
for fancy, future or any other effect
This rule necessitates pruning late In
the spring, after the greatest danger of
killing by frost is past and also at a
time when the number of live buds can
be more surely estimated. If at that
time the tree has an overabundance of
good buds, prune with the threefold ob
ject of shortening In, distributing the
fruit and thinning It. If there are but
few live buds, prime lightly or not at
all. but pinch In In summer and take
chances on pruning back the next
spring. J. W. Trlnkle.

ASTORIA GIVES THANES.
If one wants to realize that there is
something to be thankful for one has
not to search very for a grateful pre
dicate. The same with cities. Astoria
has lots to be glad about; The dull
season is ptst; the fisheries are about to
open with tip-top prospects for a year;
there will be hundreds more of busy
people around here, earning and spend
ing money; the public health is excel
lent; the banks are in flourishing con
dition the jail is "inpty; the milling
business is on the increase; and there
is still $20,000 in the court house fund.

Astoria People Have Absolute Proof of
Cures
It's not words, but deeds that prove
true merits. .
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For Astoria kidney sufferers,
Have made their reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of people
who have been cured to stay cured.
G. H. Springmeyer, expressman, of
1010 First St, Portland Ore., says:
"Exposure to rough weather and the jar
ring of my waggon brought on kidney
trouble. My back ached almost con
stantly and the action of the kidneys
seemed weak in the passages and the
secretions too frequent. Doan's Kid
ney pills came to my notice and I got
a box and began uing them at once.
The pain in mj back was soon reliev
ed and the kidney secretions became
normal. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
1'ills brought about this n'sult." (From
a statement made Feb. 28th, 1903.)
Cured to Stay Cured.
On Jon. 12, 1900 Mr. Springmeyer
confirmed the above statement and dad
dod: "Since the time referred to in my
lormer tesTinvmv i nave not naa a
trace of kidney trouble. I have always
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to

government crosses that he has seen.
Of the oranges of the cross, to which
the name Carnegie has been given, Fro
fessor Van Deman says: "The orauges
frveraged over two inches in diameter
and were of good flavor. I do not think
the fruit equal In flavor to any of the
really -choice oranges, but I have enten
many that' were sold In our markets,
especially those from the Mediterrane
an countries, that were no better and
In some cases not bo good.
Fran In a; the Flowering; Sbrnbe.
Most flowering shrubs require little
or no pruning at this season. The prop
er season for pruning Is immediately
after flowering. To prune now Is to
cut off the greater part of the flowering
wood, but now that the bushes are bare
of foliage misplaced and weak branches
are readily discerned. These should be
removed as well as dead branches.
Late flowering shrubs, such as althae
as, Hydrangea panlculata, etc, should
receive their annual pruning now If
not already done. The latter may le
pruned hard, leaving but two joints of
last season's growth.
Bkrewd Traders I'lck Xp narnalas !
tha tow Market.
To the avornire visitor nt tho well
known stockyards In Itrlghtim, Mass.,
the chief object of Interest In tho large
stock burn. The large rows of stulls
provide accommodations for hundreds
of cattle, and the room Is almut all
needed during the busy seasons ot tht
year. On Tuesday and Wednesday of
each week this barn Is the scene of
great activity, soys American t'ultlvu
tor. Tho cattle arrive by train from all
parts of Xew lhigland and Xew York
state, They am brought In mostly by
traders who make 11 business of buying
from farmer or nt auctions and sell
iu Hrlgliton, Any one, however. Is al
lowed to use the bant and sell Ids own
cnttle If he wishes to do so, Some who
live near by drive In their own cows
and sell them direct, thus saving tho
mlddjetnau's prollt, although their own
lack of trading experience "y often
offset tho apparent gain.
No dealer likes to curry over cows
from week to week. The rent of the
stalls Is for the market days only and
Includes feed for that period, and also
the cow, If kept over, Is a week further
along In milking.
This consideration Is the cause aud
encouragement of the "sundowner."
The term Is applied to the shrewd trad
ers who stay away while buying Is ac
tive aud appear at the lust moment and
pick up bargains Just as dealer are be
ginning to fear they must keep over
some of their cows. Tho "aundowuer"
drops In lute Wednesday afternoon aud
often buys cows at low prices, lie la
usually a country resident and trader
nd takes his purchases out home to
sell them at a profit. The cows left
over to the last are not the most de
sirable as 11 rule. Once In awhile at
dull market a few good cows will be
left over to the last, and then real bar
gains are to be found.

To au inquirer who ask concerning
owing rye and oat grasses for quickly
making pasture Professor Ten Eyck
says In Kansas Fanner: I believe you
would do better to sow some annual
grass or grain. A combination of bar
ley and outs will muke spring and sum
mer pasture and produce much mora
grazing than you will be able to se
cure from rye grass or tall oat grass.
Doth of the Inst named grasses are per
ennials, and, although they start more
rapidly than Rromus Inermls and Eng
lish blue grass, yet we cannot consider
these grasses equal to the last named
grasses, either for pasture or meadow.

Dairy Special.
"Dairy specials" are but the natural
sequel to "corn sjieelnlH." The Mary
land experiment station Is starting a
aeries of dairy trains w hich will cover
most of the railroad systems of the
state. These trains will be in charge
of Director Patterson of the experi
ment station nt College Park. It Is
hoped that jwople will take as deep ap
Interest in them as they did iu the suc
cessful "corn specials" of the state last
year.
Live Dairy Practice
The Herbaceoaa Border.
The herbaceous border Is one of the
joost flexible and pleasing parts of the
home grounds. It has no formal design
and .may be set with large clumps of
each variety of plants grown.
STRAY PETALS
Brewallia major Is a comparatively
new plant. It Is of extremely easy cul
ture. Those who are fond of blue flow
ers will prize it highly, as it is of a
shade extremely rare among house
plants.
Twenty or thirty years ago the ver
bena as a bedding plant was second
only to the pelargonium in popularity,
aud it is beginning to be used agiiln.
Callas thrive best In a minimum tem
perature of 50 to 55 degrees, with
plenty of light and an abundance of
water at all times during the growing
period.
Try some of the novelties. In these
lays of fine plant breeding one enu't
afford to neglect the new tilings.
Very fine climbing roses are Crimson
Rambler, Relne Marie Ilonriette. Ard's
Rover and all of the sixteen vurletlei
of the Lord Penzance Sweet .Briers.
These make a charming screen or fence

"Records of Dairy Cows In the Unit
ed States" Is a recent publication of
the bureau of animal Industry, claimed
to be unique in that no complete com
pilation of this nature Is at present ex
tant In the United States. Its object Is
to att as an Incentive to progressive ef
fort among our dairymen and to the
raising of the standard of herds. Part
1 deals with grade and native cows and
part 2 with pure bred cows.

The Hoa; Dairy Adjaaet.
In European countries where dairy
farming is followed as the chief oc
cupatlon pigs are reared and fed In
considerable numbers as an auxiliary
Industry, and to all appearances nel
tber Industry can be so successfully
conducted alone as the two combined,
especially In those countries which rank
high In the production of high class
bacon. The real secret of success In
European feeding for prime bacon is
due to the large amounts of skim milk
and buttermilk fed with grain and
meal.
Remarkable Developmeat.
Alfalfa growers generally will be In

of the alfalfa meal Industry. Xew
