Patrick O'Toole, a native of Ireland,
and Gustave A. Brack man, a native of
Germany, have declared their intention
'to become citizens of the United States,
by taking out their first papers at . the

We call attention to the market re
ports published in this, paper. , They

The spirit of the age has struck even
the hens. The Ashland Record says :
Benjamin Eggleston has a hen that has
established a nest in the center of his
. flower, garden, in the most conspicuous
place in his front yard and deposits reg
ularly an egg everyday except Sunday.
If anybody can show another case on
record of such a perfect typical training
' ' i..in the lower, animals, they should, report
at once to this office.
. '. Some misunderstanding appears to
exist about what was done with the bill
-for adding the strip, north of Buck Hol
low, tQ Sherman county: The bill passed
and is a law. No opposition to it was
offered by any one in the old county.
The strip belongs, geographically, to
Sherman, and they were, on that account
entitled to it. The bill adds less than
two townships to Sherman. The new
boundary begins on the township line,
. between townships four and five at the
John' Day river, thence east till it
intersects Buck Hollow, thencedown the
middle of Buck nollow to its mouth.
The Colombia river is very muddy here
and is rising, which is caused no doubt
by , the reported rise of Snake river.

A Bright Dal lea School Mann.
An incident occured at the teacher's
examination, just closed, that is too good
to conceal. One of the questions asked
of the candidates was, Write eight lines
about Froebel. The question was ' hard
to many. Froelel was a German educa
tional reformer, of the early part of this
century, we believe. But it is small
blame to the candidates, if many of
them knew nothing of him. A charm
ing little Irish girl, -full of the wit and vi
vacity of her race, met the question in due
time, and unabashed, that like the rest
she could not answer it, she sent to the
examiners the following :
. "TroAer was a gallant man,
A man of strength was he,
. Belonging to the highest rauk
Of God's nobility."
Not quite satisfied however, with this
answer, she added still farther :
"O! Froebel, O! Froebel,
I even now your name can spell.
I hope to know you very well
Some other time.
For you I know not, nor can tell
A single word; now tell O! tell
About your life, or if yon fell.
Were you a teacher
Down in h L"
The Chrokicxk reporter earnestly
recommended her for a two hundred per
cent certificate, and she ought to get it.
. The Newspaper ruff.
The newspaper puff is something that
makes' men feel bad if thev don't get it.
The groundwork of an ordinary news
paper puff consists of a moral character
and a . good book . account. . Writing
newsrjarjer miffs is like mixinir sherrv
cobblers and mint juleps all through the
summer months tor customers and
quenching your thirst with rain water.
Sometime a man is looking lor a pun
and don't get it, then he says the ' paper
is going down bill, and that it is in the
hands of a monopoly and he would stop
subscribing if he did not have to pay
his bill first. Writing a newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph of a
homely baby. If the photograph does
not represent the child with wings and
halos and harps, it shows that the
artist does not understand his business.
So it is with the newspaper puff if the
puffed doesn't stand out like a bold and
fearless exponent of truth and morality,
it shows the puffer doesn't understand
human nature. It is more fun ;to see a
man read a puff of himself than to see a
man elip on an orange peel. The nar
row minded man reads it over seven or
eight times and then goes around to the
different places where the paper is
taken and steals what he can find.
The kind hearted family man goes
home and reads it to his wife, and then
pays up his bill on the paper. The suc
cessful business man who advertises and
makes money, starts immediately to find
the newspaper man, and speaks a word
of grateful acknowledgement and en
couragement. Then the two men start
out of the sanctum and walk thought
fully down the together, and the success
ful business man takes sugar in his, and
they both eat a clove or two ; and life
is sweeter, and peace settles down like a
turtle dove in our hearts, and after a
while lamp poets get more plentiful and
everybody seems more or less intoxicated,
but the hearts of these two men are
filled with a nameless joy because they
know when to stop, and not make them
selves ridiculous. Bill Nye.

An Apology.
We owe an apology to our readers for
some very poor proof reading in the last
two numbers of this journal. It was
the proof-reader's fault and the editor
would have promptly killed him, for the
havoc he made with his grammar, ortho
graphy and rhetoric, bnt they have been
in such close relation for the last 50 years
that he could not take heart to do it.
Meanwhile the proof-reader promises
the editor to learn as fast as he can and
do better in the future.- - - . 1 .

' A BAD MAN FOUND OUT.
"Another good man gone wrong"' is
the frequent newspaper "heading to the
relation of the discovery of the tricks of
somo fraud who tried to use religion as a
cloak for rascality, and in the long run
or short run was unsuccessful. How
would it do, . for a change, to vary that
heading' by a terse statement of the
truth and say "Another bad man found
out?"

Damag by Frost.
- Gardners long ago discovered that it
was not the freezing so much as it was
the thawing out more or less suddenly
and especially in a bright light that
causes the death of trees and plants by
frost. ' Nearly all injuryfrom frost can
be prevented if thawed out slowly in the
presence of moisture and covered from
strong light, especially the direct light
of the sun. If a dense artificial shads
be placed over trees or plants when frost
is in the air, though they may be badly
frozen will be uninjured if kept shaded
until all the frost has left them Bnt
if the shade is allowed to remain on
throughout warm days the plants are
liable to become diseased and die. Wrap
ping np the broad leaved evergreens,
like the orange, magnolia and gum, in
autumn and leaving it on all winterkills
the tree oftener than severe freezing
does. The tree becomes diseased and
rotten in its succulent parts, especially
the leaves. '.Near the coast where fogs
come in each cold ' morning covering
these things as with a wet! blanket, un
der which they thaw out without injury,
enables many .such, things to be grown
without cover, which is impossible in the
interior where it is warmer. . An apple
lying on the damp earth covered with an
inch or two of wet grass, may be frozen
and thawed out a dozen times during
the winter, and will be found in early
spring uninjured. Winter apples may
be ricked np on the ground late in aut
umn, covered with several inches of
straw well packed down, allowed , to
freeze as hard as rocks,' then covered
with a few inches of soil and so remain
frozen until spring. If allowed to thaw
out under cover they will be found no
riper than when buried. And they will
be perfect in flavor. Animal tissues
have exactly the same qualities. A man's
hand; foot or ear may be frozen, and if.
while frozen, plunged in ice cold water
and held there until thawed out, no in
jury will result. This should be done
in a dark, warm room.
I.ice In the Nests of Sitting Hau.
The three following remedies are rec
ommended by Professor F. L. Wash
bnrne; state entomologist of Oregon:
"Vermin often become very trouble
some if a hen is sitting in an infested
house. The best plan would be to set
your hen somewhere else, and near by
have duRt or ashes fur her to scratch in.
Supposing, however, she has been given
her eggs in the hen house, the nest should
have lime in the bottom, over which
clean straw has been placed. ' Refuse
tobacco from a cigar factory scattered in
the nest is good where lice are numerous.
Powdered, sulphur nsed plentifully in
the same way is also excellent. Persian
insect powder dusted ' over the eggs and
through the feathers of the hen is good.
Of course, a hen house should be thor
oughly whit washed. The chicks hatched.
if they and the hen are badly infested, a
little piece of lard or a drop of neatsfoot
oil rnbiied on top of the head and " un
der the wings xt each will help to rem
edy the evil. Do not bring an infested
hen and her brood among fowls . until
they have been so thoroughly treated
that few or no vermin remain. . Fowls
should at all times have a chance to dust
themselves in dry dust, coal ashes or
leached wood ashes.
. (iajiM In Fowls.
Is caused by the presence of a number
of small worms in the windjripe, causing
them to gasp for breath. It is, we be
lieve contagious. ' The worms can be re
moved by inserting a feather, wet with
turpentine, very gently through the slit
like glottis into the windpipe. See that
chickens so infested have nourishing
food and pure water.
"A Good Remedy tor CoekroMh.
Take Persian insect powder and with
a little bellows blow it into all cracks
and crevices and drawers in rooms in
fested. This should be done just before
dusk in the evening.
1 Horticultural Commliwlon.
There is an inclination at Sacramento to
knock out several of the supposed useless
state boards. This may be well enough.
Bnt the state board of horticulture
should not be one. Its regular appropri
ations should neither be lowered nor in
creased. It is well enough as it is, and
is a most beneficent institution, now
thoroughly organized and equipped for
the work for which it was designed.
Fruit growing is and will continue to
be the one great leading pursuit among
California's industries, and it should be
fostered in every way. Besides the other
coast states and territories look to their
elder sister for example.- . '
. - Plant Perwimmona.
Tho native Eastern persimmon is
beautiful tree, both in foliage and sym
metry, and the fruit of many of the nat
ural trees in the woods is truly delicious
from August until spring. It is easily
grown from seed, which should be ship
ped when the fruit is mature bat , not
yet soft. The seeds 'should be planted
about two to three inches deep. They
are vwy t trdy about coming up. The
tree- will grow on any moist soil, but the
fruit is generally best on a cold wet soil.
The older the tree the better the fruit.
The trees should be planted in clusters,
for the flowers are polygamous.
; Foiled Jersey! Are In ft.
Now it is the polled or "muley" Jersey
cow that is coming to the front. She
will soon be all the rage and fashion.
Well, why not? Cqws have not the least
bit of use for horns. They are not only
dangerous to the owners of the animals
but very costly because of the damage
cattle cause each other. It costs the far
mer in feed nearly as much to repair the
damage the stock do each other with
their useless horns as it does to keep the
stock up in flesh. v
f A Sprayer Needod.
A spraying apparatus is one of the ne
cessities of the fruit grower. He must
spray his fruit trees summer and winter,
and do it right or get left in the race for
profit. The air blast will soon super
sede all other methods for spraying fruit
trees and other thinys.- It is perfect in
principle.
