IN THE ORCHARD.
BY ROSETTA T.O.NT SUTTON.
0 er the blooming orchard
The balm laden south winds blow,
And scatter athwart the green sward
Its billows of sunlit snow.
What is the south wind whispering
So soft to the bloom-laden trees,
And what does the oriole tell, mamma,
And whal the busy brown bees ?
The south wind is telling the pe3r trees
Of ocean kissed islands afar,
Where the groves of orange and citron,
And gardens of roses are.
But I, know that in all his j lurneys,
Whether by land or by sea,
He has never seen anything fairer
Than the shy little girl at my knee.
The oriole boasts to the south wind,
He can rival the bulbal's lay;
And the apple blossom are sweeter
Than the gardens of famed Cathay.
But the nightingale's moonlit warble,
The oriole's chimes of joy,
Have nover so glad a musio
As the voi.e of my brown-eyed boy.
The honey bee swings and listens;
All sweets are alike his own.
He would not exchange the orchard
For all that the wind has known;
And the roses over the arbor
Are ablush for the robber bee,
But the cheeks that I kiss good morning
Are dearest of all to me.
Nor wind, nor bee, nor birdling,
Nor flowor, nor song, nor sweet,
Can rival my blossom-taced girlie,
Can rine like mv merrv boy's feet:
I And naught in the beautiful island
Can equal the rare surprise
Tbat parts tne rea lips 01 my aaruogs
Ana shines in their wonder-wide eyes.
"I HAVE HEAED."
In Itself, "I have heard" Is each a small word,
But oft filling the hearer with oe,
For beneath Its wings It can let a sting
Alike to both M' nd and to toe.
"I have heard," though I cannot tell where,
Bow gossips their tales 111 unfold ;
But It you'll agree rot to tell it from me,
Why, "young Sandy's engaged to a girl."
Though I'm not Inclined to try to fled
The author of such awful reports,
So to quiet the fears of listening cars.
I shall make what "I hare heard" quite short.

FLOWER CULTURE.
We hope it is not necessary to apologize for
bringing up this subject again so soon. This
is the time to begin, if one intends to have a
bed of flowers, it is time to be getting tthe
seeds selected and started, if not out of doors,
in some little boxes in the house. To most of
us the cares of life are a burden, and without
some pleasant occupation to divert thoughts,
we are apt to pet discouraged and despond-
Kent. From experience we know that courage
and pleasanter thoughts have come by associ
ation and interest in the brightness of the
flowers which we have watched from the first
tiny leaf that comes up to the bright fragrant
flowers that reward the labor. We can turn
from the daily round of dishwashing to the
flower bed, gathering hope and higher aspira
tions of life in their company for they are
company, are living, growing things, depend
ent upon us for life and well being. It may
cost a trifle to buy seeds, but it is money well
spent. Then, many shrubs and plants are
easily got, by slips, which every neighborly
friend is glad to spare. The children ara
glad to work with mother, too, and while
busy with the sweet flowers can have only
elevating influences in mind and thought.
There are plants, shrubs and bulbs that when
once started need only a little care from year
to year, while most annuals must be sown
each spring, There are some commoner sorts
of roses that are long lived and vigorous, but
the finer standard roses will cot live through
all of our winters without some protection.
1?f- hMialia fiA hnnt. annti nlanta will farm
G the best covering We find that the past
winter.bas killed most of the high bred roses.
But it pays to send and get those finer sorts,
for they will continue to bloom all the year,
while the common sorts have only one short
season of bloom and then are gone. Every
yard should have a lilac, which is in fragrant
bloom at this time. Then the cnow-ball makes
a fine tree, and is in bloom a long time. A
E bush of our own Oregon grape, with its shin.
ing green leaves, tinged in autumn with bril-
liant scarlet hues, is a beautiful plant all the
year round. It is considered a rare shrub at
the East. We have nurserymen in our own
State who will furnish nearly everything one
fancies. But if rarer plants are needed D. M.
Ferry, of Detroit, Mich., will supply them at
reasonable prices, sending by mail. Diagee
& Conard, of Chester, Fa., are the ones to
supply roses. They give a premium of two
roses for every dollar's worth bought, so in
thai way a choice variety is is obtained for a
coaple of dollars. We have sent to both of
these firms and have been more than satisfied.
FOWLS FOB OEXEBAL PURPOSES.
In any sort of live stock it is quite impossi-
; ble to find any particular breed that will com-
bine every desirable point. But after con
siderable experience in the chicken business
we find the Plymouth Bock to come nearer
to what Is wanted tnan any other sort. In the
; first place they "feather op" quickly, which
is most desirable in this climate, where we
have cool nights and mornings. They are ex
cellent layers of fine large-sized eggs, and lay,
perhaps, a little better in winter than any
other breed, though there is no kind that ill
lay freely, unless fed and cared for with this
in view. The Plymouth Rocks are good for
eating, too, weighing well, which is another
; good quality, for after a couple or three years
; it is better to cull out those of this ace 'and
send to market.
The first cross between Plymouth Recks
and Black Spanish make good layers, bat not
good to breed from. J. M. Girrison, of
Forest Grove, has fine fowls; we think that
he also advocates the Plytnouths. He has the
pure strain, and is very careful in keeping
them so. Mr. Garrison will ship eggs to any
part of the- count! y, fresh Isid. One setting
will givo a good chance to show the advan
tages of pood stock in the poultry yard.
A GOOD WOMAN'S NAME VINDICATED.
The courts of law seldom givo justice, and
it seems sometimes as if the laws were often
smended to give loopholes out of which
criminals can crawl. A circumstance hap
pened in Unlontown, Penn., which we re
hearse to show that an outraged people will
sometimes rise and show that the moral sen
timent of the masses is for the right, A
lawyer named Dukes was engaged to marry a
very nice young lady, a Miss Nutt. After a
time the fellow wished to be free, and as is
too often the way, began to manufacture
public opinion in his own favor by circulating
ill reports of Miss Nutt. The lady's father
expostulated in a quiet manner, whereupon
the parent was shot, falling instantly dead.
A jury of twelve men acquitted Dukes on
some trifling plea. This monstrous injustice
roused up the people of the country, who de
nounced the murderer in every possible way.
The members of the bar met and passed
resolutions refusing to Allow him to practice
in the courts of Pennsylvania. The Ljgisla
ture, of which he was a member, refused him
a seat in that body of men. The sovereign
people rose en masse, giving Dukes 24 hours
in which, to leave his home, and those of the
twelve men who acquitted Dukes are perse
cuted and scorned on all sides. Miss Nutt
was a lovely, modest young lady and her
character was nobly vindicated by the atten
tion of good people, who called t? see her in
her sorrow. We are glad to see that public
sentiment is getting aroused in this way by
woman's character when assailed. It is a
burning shame that women are obliged to
suffer injustice rather than to appeal to law
for she well knows that the very first argu
ment made by the other side is to get viU
men to swear away her virtue and b'acken
her pure fame. We hope the time is uot far
off when woman shall be able to viuvidicate
herself.
EQa EATINQ HENS.
A subscriber his written to ask what to do
with egg eating hens. There is no cure for
such sort of hens but to cut off their heads,
for they set an example teaching others the
same trick of eating eggs. This habit is gen
erally among those confined in too close
quarters, and where there is no opportunity to
scratch. It is well to scatter grain in among
a litter of straw; that will keep them active
and busy. A hen is a one-ideaed creature, and
if she is scratching she won't think of any
other mischief. All the bones that accumu
late in the kitchen should be burned, pow
dered and put where the chicks will get it at
any time. This will help to keep them from
eating eggs. The bones can be put every day
or so in the kitchen stove; the white calcined
particles may easily be picked out from the
ashes when the stove if cleaned.
Concerning Bogs.
These useful articles were never more in
vogue than now. In many houses they cover
the grerter part of the floors, taking the place
of carpets. Anybcdy who has money can buy
a rug, but it takes skill and taste and industry
to make one out of such material as are fur
nished by out-wear of every day clothes.
This can be done, however, and the home
make article be serviceable and almost as
service able and almost as handsome as the
purchased article.
A very good way to nse np old woolen
st 'ckings and woolen knit goods of every sort
is to wash them very clean, then ravel them
and knit the yarn in strips, the length the
rug is to be. Have the knit strips an inch
wide, and after dampening them press till dry
with a warm iron. This sets the crinkle in
them. Then cut each strip down the middle,
making two of it. Sew these strips to a foun
dation of ingrain or three-ply, fastening the
selvage edge to the carpet, then ravel the cut
stitches. The stripes should be placed to
gether si as to cover the foundation perfectly.
The colors can be arranged to suit the taste of
the knitter. All woolen yarn works up well
in this way and as odd moments can be nsed
while-knitting it, the investment of time is
not a bad one, and the result is very satisfac
tory. Another way that is easy and effective is to
cut tne goods to be used in strips an men
wide and gather them alone the middle with
a strong double linen thread. When enough
has been done to cover the foundation pre
pared, begin in the middle of the foundation
and sew the rope thus made round and round
till all is sewed on. Fill up the corners and
if the edge has been finished before the rope
was sewed on, as it should have been, your
rue is done This uses up the rags very fast
and a more economical method is the follow
ing : Cut circular pieces an inch in diameter,
and, having prepared the foundation, which
should be of carpeting or heavy woolen cloth,
sew these pieces one by one through the cet
ter to the foundation. Have them very close
together. Outline forms may be made on the
foundation which shall mike pretty figures in
the rug when finished. Th:s method utilizes
all the little pieces one may have.
Another way is, after having designed your
pattern, tr. cut out pieces of cloth correspond
ing to the pattern, and embroider them more
or less elaborately, then sew them to the
foundation and fill in the ground-work.with
any little devices your fancy may supgest.
Border the whole with a fringe of some sort.
Small rugs made in this way may serve as
choice bits of coloring ank are to be laid be
fore a small table.
!)... ta9 Hint. amnliAT.r nan m.V. iVt.
ton and woolen are almost equally good made
up in tbis way. roe center 01 me mat may
be a bright piece of carpeting neatly bound
and it may be cut circular, oblong- or square,
according to the ihaDe desired in the rue.
Tbis method use. np rags very fait and is to
be recommended where it u desired to get
them out of. the wav ouicUlv. The thread
used in sewing braided mats should be of the
very strongest, as this is always the first to
wear ont.
Knit rugs are very pretty when properly
made. Tear the r!s into strips, sew them
together and wind into balls as for tmkintr
rag carpets. Then with wooden neenles knit
them in strips, two inches or more wide, and
as leng as desired. Sew these strips together,
linetienhole with burlaps, put on a fringe
and the rue is done Soft woolin goods work
up very v ell in this way.
Almost perfect imitations may ba made of
Turkish rugs in the following way : Take a
piece of strong burlaps the size you wish the
rug to to be, bind it strongly and neatly and
sew it into a frame, after the manner of a
quilt. Trace on it with ink the pattern you
wish to work on it. Cut your rags into
widths varying according to the texture of the
rags, but the equivalent of a quarter of an
inch of flannel. With a rug hook, like a large
crochet needle set in a wooden handle, draw
the rags throngh the foundation, having the
hook in the right hand on t'p, and the rigs
in the left hand, underneath the frame. Have
both ends of each strip drawn through and
left on top. They need no other fastening.
Trim off evenly the surface. Yarn may be
thus drawn in and imitate the Turkish rugs
very nearly. More satisfactory results may
be obtained by this method of rug making
than by any other we know of.
There is no better season than the present
to get one's house cleared of everything that
can attract the moth. When everything is
utilized that can be, it is a comfort to know
that the junkman will gladly pay for what
is left and our premises be free of all kinds of
rag trumpery. W. T. Tribune.
Pleasant for Smokers.
Another of the humble industries of New
York is the collection of cigar stumps from
street and gutter. Some half a dozen Italians
make a business of buying them from a horde
of youthful scavengers who live in the Italian
quarter of the city. An active boy or girl will
collect half a bushel of the stumps in an honr
or so, the work being done from daylight to
8 o'clock, and during that time all the prin
cipal streets in the heart of the city are
gleaned. The children receive no fixed price
for the stumps, but ten or fifteen cents a pail
is usually paid. The buyers wash the filthi
est and spread them out to dry. A day or
so later they are crumpled into shreads, and
allowed to dry for twenty-four hours longer
before being packed in flour barrels and
shipped to hew York. A barrel of this
stump tobacco is worth two dollars and a
half, but a few years ago, when there was a
strong demand for it in Philadelphia, the
Itailian dryers received a little more for it
The stumps were formerly made into snuff in
Philadelphia, but this filthy grade of tobacco
is now bought by manufacturers of cigarettes
and fine-cut chewing tobacco. A wholesale
tobacconist of many years' experience declared
that when the stump tobacco Is ground,
bleached, flavored and made up into cigarette
paper, no one but an expert can detect tho
difference between it and the new leaf. All
of which must be exceedingly pleasant for the
cigarette consumer.
Steam Threshers.
The farmer is getting the advantage of the
inventive faculty of the present age. Steam
threshing machines are slowly but surely dis
placing the old method of thieshing by horse
power, it takes more help to keep fie ma
chine running up to its full capacity than it
did by horse power, but then a much steadier
motion is given, and the much dreaded
"threshing days" are shortened by one-half,
which is a great boon to the farmer and his
wife. There is only one team needed, and
that the threshing men furnish themselves,
and use it for hauling water for the steam
engine. Where the threshed grain has to be
taken any distance, of course teams have to
be used for hauling it away. The steam
threshing machines are made extra large, with
a big cylinder at which two men stand to feed
it. This necessitates two band cutters and
an extra two men to pitch to them. These
steam threshers, combined with the improved
uiauuiuery lur puiiing me Krain in&3 tne
ground in the spring (we refer to the screw
pulverizer) snd the self-binding reaper, make
tne farmer practicallyMndependent of hired
help, for a crop of 100 acres of small grain
can be sown, reaped and threshed as easy as
20 acres could by the old and slower methods.
This is a veryimportant item in the farmer's
economy, for in some sections help cannot be
obtained dnring the rush of harvest at any
price, and where it can be got it is generally
of an inferior character and has to be paid ex
orbitant prices of from $2 to $3 per day. The
steam thresher is of immense benefit to the
farmer and the day will soon be here that
every neighborhood will be supplied with a
machine. Farmers can use the steam power
that it takes to run the threshing machine for
all ths. necessary purpoies of grinding grain,
ahellinp corn and cutting hay with a chaff
cutter, when the machine is not in use for
threshing.
Suitable arrangements must be. however.
provided for guarding against fire. Where
possible tne engine should he placed far
enough away from the farm buildings so there
will not ba the remotest chance of tire, iho
best way to carry this power from the engine
to buildings is by a wire rope, as a belt can
not be used to carry power as far ss a wire
rope; and thei, too, the belt, when used in
wet weather, will get wet and slip. Breeders

Yesterday I taw a blue bird
On a baro bough over head,
Where the impatient buds were swelling,

"Tell tho little (aughing children
That the spring is coming back,
With the columbines and crocus
And the May flowers in her track.
Tell them that tbi morning early,

That I saw a blood-root smiling
At a blue anomona.

You must say that spring is here."
OUR LETTER BOX.
This last week there was only one letter on
hand, so as it would look lonesome all printed
by itself, we concluded to wait and see if the
mail would bring us some more. But the lit
tle friends are t:o busy, or don't care for na
any more. This is the second time that we
had to nse the last one. Next week we fear
there wi'l be none at all, though we hope
there will be some who will remember Annt
Hetty, We got a messape to-day from one of
our little correspondents, and am glad to hear
from her again, she was the one answered
Harry Dowthitt, but as they do not take the
paper the does not write any more.
One fresh this week comes from a little Illi
nois girl, we will have to explain for fear
some of you will not understand what she
means by "cobs." You must know that wood
is not plenty in Illinois, so corn cobs are used
for fuel, and sometimes the people there1
will Inrn corn too, to keep the fire burn
ing. Corn is the the principal erop there, as
wheat is in Oregon. How the eyes of some
of these " Suckers " would shine if they could
see the great nice fir timber we have and the
beautiful branching oaks that are found here
in Oregon,
We do not mean to be calling names, but
custom seems to have given every State a
comical name. We are called "Webfeet" and
Illinois people "Suckers." We don't see why
the latter are so named unless it's from the
fact that every hill of corn his a nrmber of
stalks growing that are pulled up at a certain
time, and that is supposod to take away from
the strength of tho plant, while of no use and
these extra shoots are called suckers. In
some of the Western States straw is used for
fuel; it is twisted into a hard, tight sort of
ropo and is said to burn quite well, though it
keeps some one at work all the time keeping
up the fire.
Rebecca writes for the first time and we
hope she will try again, telling us all about
the Scio country.
Noah wants his name on the Temperance
Roll and he says, too, that he will write
again. We are sure be is right to try to do
his part toward the'interest of the letter
column. If every one who likes to read the
letters would only write ono and send it to
the Farmer, we would not ba out of letters
as we are to-day.

Afraid of Spiders.
Jarne jumped from her seat because a
spider was spinning down before her from the
ceiling. "They are such hateful black things,"
she said.
"They are curious things," said Aunt Nel
lie. "They have eight fixed eyes."
"Dear me 1 And maybe she's looking at me
with all eight of them," groaned Carrie,
"They are very fond of music."
"I shall never dare to sing again, for fear
they'll be spinning down to listen."
"They can tell you whether the weather is
going to Ira fine or not. If it is going to
storm, they spin a short thread; if it will
clear, they a long one."
"That's funny."
"They are an odd family," Aunt Nellie
went on. "I saw one on the window pane
the other day. She carried a lil tie gray silk
bag about with her wherever r-he ran. She
bad spun the bag herself. When it burst
open, ever so many tiny Laby spiders turn
hied nut like birds from a nest, and ran along
with her. Perhaps you didn't know that the
spider can spin and sew too; she spins her
web and she s;ws leaves together for her sum
mer house."
"What a queer thing a spider is," said
Carrie, beginntcg to forget her dislike.
"Yes, and she has a queer sister in England
who makes a raft and fl ta on pools of water
upon it in search of flies for her dinner."
"I should like to know what it is mado of."
"She binds together a ball ot weeds with
tho thread she spins." -
"I whh o uld go to England."
"And there's another of the family who
lives under water m a diving bell, which she
weaves herself "
"How I should like to seo her."
"Maybe you would rather seo the ono in
the West Indies who digs a holo in tho earth,
She lilies it with silk of her own making, and
fits a door to it, which opens and closes when
tho family goes in and nut,"
"Yes, yes," said Carrie, "how-delightful."
"But you would bo afraid of tho inmates?"
"Perhaps not, now I know their family
affairs." Our Little Ones.
Why Boys Dislike to Learn Trades.
The old system is, in the main, responsible
for the aversion that such a large number of
boys manifest for learning trades. For the
first year a boy iu a blacksmith shop, for in
stance, is put to the roughest and most disa
greeable work. Ho is mulo to do a thousand-and-one
things that will be of no use to him
when he grows up, and have nothing to do
with making him a skillful mechanic. He
knows this and naturally rebels and wants to
do something that will be of benefit to him.
He is brought to feel that to be a good black
smith a man requires much brawn and little
brains. That he obtains an erroneous idea of
the trade he is trying to learn we all know,
but, nevertheless, this impression is apt to be
come fixed In his mind from. the character of
the work he is put to do. Is it any wonder
that he looks with envy on tho boy behind
the counter or in a lawyer's office, and long
to get away from an employment that has be
come irksome ? Blacksmith and Wheelwright.

DaiR Sis Please allow me ths privilege of gt Ing my
testimony regarding the wonderful curative properties
of your Invaluable medicine, Hunt's Remedy, During
the put six or siren years I have been a great sufferer
from kidney disease, and during a great part of the
time my sufferings have been so Intense as to be Inde
scribable. Only those who hare suffered by this dread
disease know of the awful backache, and pains of all
kinds, accompanied by great weakness and nervous
prostration, loss of force and ambition which Invariably
attend It. I had all these troubles Intensified, and was
In such a bad condition that I could not get up out of
my chair except by putting my hands on my knecs,nd
almost rolling out before I cou'd straighten up. I'trled
the bo,t doctors, and many kinds of medicine, but all
failed to help me, and I experimented so long endeavor
ing to get cured that last spring I was In very poor
snipe, and In seeking for relief my attention was di
rected by a friend to the remarkable euros of kidney
diseases, etc., which were being accomplished by
Hunt's Remody, I was Induced to try It, and began to
take It, and vory soon "limbered up' as It were; my
severe backache, and the Intense r-a'ns I had rutTcred
so long speodlly disappeared, notwithstanding I had
been bothcrod with this complaint so miny yonrs.
When I began to take Hunt's Re-no ly 1 was consid
erably rut. dcwii In my general heilih, and suffered
also from loss of appetl'e. Ever since I havo been tak
ing the Remody, however, my Improvement has been
most marked; ray former complaints, aches, pains, etc.,
havo disippcarei, and I now feel like my former self,
hale, hoirty and sound in health. I shall always keep
Hunt's Remedy with me, and would most earnestly re
commend all thoso who are sufferers from kidney or
llror diseases, or diseases of the bladdor or urinary or
guns to use Hunt's Remedy, and take no other.
Yours very truly,
