WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. OCTOBER 1883. I c Hfcjonic fyrtlt. MRS. HARRIOT T. CLARKE, Editor. A BABrS FEET. A baby's feet, like sea-shells pink; Might tempt, should heaven see meet, Aa angel's lips to kiss, we think, A baby's feet. Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat, They stretch and spread and wink Their ten soft bnda that part and meet. No flower-bells that expand and shrink, Gleam half an heavenly sweet As shine on life's untrodden brink, A baby s feet. A baby's hands, like rosebuds furled, Whence yet no leaf expards, Ope if you touch, -though close upcurled, A baby's hands. Then fast as warriors grip their brands When battle's bolt is hurled, They close, clenched hard like tightening hands. No rosebud yet by dawn impearled, Match, even in loveliest lands, The sweetest flowers in all the world A baby's hands. A baby's eyes, ere speech begin, Ere lips learn word or sighs, Bless all things biipht enough to win A baby's eyes. Love, while the sweet thing laughs and lies, And sleep flows out and in, Sees perfect in them Pasadise, A baliy's eyes. Their glance might cast out pain and sin, Their speech make dumb and wise, By mute, glad godhead felt within A baby's eyes. Swinburne. OLD CUSTOMS. Old customs! Well, our children say We get along without them; But you and I, dear, in our day Had other thoughts about them. The dear old habits of the past I can not choose but love them, And sigh to think the world at last Has soared so far above them. We had net, in the years gone by, The price that art discovers; Our lives were calmer; you and I Were verj simple lovers. And when, our daily duties o'er, We strayed beside the rushes. The only gems you ever wore Were bright and blooming blushes. Onr rustic way was slow, but yet Some good there waB about it, And many ills we now regret Old habits would havn routed. I know our children still can see The fifth commandment's beauty May they obey, as we once did, From love, not from duty. The wcrld to-day is far too high In wisdom to confess them, But well we know, dear, you and I, For what we have to bless them. Though love was in the heart of each, I trembled to accost you; Had you required a polished speech I think I would have lost you. No doubt our minds are slow to gauge The ways we are not heeding; But here upon our memory's page Is very simple reading. It says the forms we still hold fast Were wise as well aa pleasant The good old customs of the past Have leavened all the present. FANCY WORK AT THE STATE FAR. There was a great falling off in the way of display in needle and fancy work at the Fair this year. Many will remem ber that it used to be that it was hardly possible to give each article sufficient room in old times, that often the articles were two and three deep, and it was an arduous task' to judge of, and dispose of this part of the exposition. What is the reason of this seeming lack of in terest. Then, too, there used be all sorts of ornaments and side-shows, and swings innumerable, were well patronized ; the Fair was well worth seeing, fine carriages, good teams drawing comfortable convey ances caiuo pouring in day after day to camp unsjer the beautiful oaks. These conveyances brought families from the remotest parts of Oregon, coming here to meet again the old friends who had crossed the plains together, and who made this one pilgrimage every year to keep up the old friendship. Now people come and go on the railroads, they stay a few hours and are gone ; the camp fires are not kept burning, the good, hearty, friendly hand-shaking is giving way to hurried civilities, for train time soon conies, and each one must get through to get home. Each year there is less interest to the writer, who has attended for twenty-three Fair years, and has many times taken active parts to pro mote the general interest in them. This year we spent a couple of hours one day in wandering around. Remembrances of the past, the absence of the many old- time faces, made the heart sick, and J, thinking sadly of the jubilant crowds i that used to throng these oak groves, we were glad to be whirled quickly by the snerting locomotive from the place where once we used to meet the beauty and chivalry of Oregon. THE FLY PEST. These little pests are always worse as Jfull comes ; it seems as if they get gtupe- afird and lifeless, so all the more aggrava ting you knock one away and it will come back again most persistently, fii jzmg into the same spot on your unpro tected head or face. Nothing in the in- jsect line can equal their persistence, and J I believe n nervous person may have life shortened bv efforts in fichtinc them. It is said that the house-fly is necessary as a scavenger, and useful in that way. We could never see the use of them at all then how to get rid of them. Fly paper is most abominable, for of course the pre paration used must be poisonous, then if dead flies are falling about they arc liable to get into food or drown in the milk pitcher, or worse yet, spoil the good cup of coffee or tea into which they are sure to fall in death struggle. We tried aome sort of powder that was to be puffed onto to them, but as only a few could be hit at once, it was too slow an affair, and we don't recommend the insect powder at all. Darkness, coolness and extreme cleanliness is the best of all. A soiled table cloth will draw hundreds to its surface ; a little scattered sugar or sweets will at tract. Everything that could possibly draw a fly must be put out of the way. In Eastern Oregon we notice every house had wire doors, and cither wire protect ors to the windows or a piece of netting tacked over the windows. This is not expensive, and I have found by observa tion to be a most excellent way to keep them out of the house. But there must bo eternal vigilance, in keeping the doors shut after they are once out. The blue fly of that region is fearful, they will spoil everything, cold rice, milk, custard, cold potatoes, and even1 water, if nothing else, will be full of "fly blows" in a little whil6 if left uncovered. Every sort of vegeta ble if cooked or a little stale, will entice them. The serpent and fly is woman's natural antagonism. All sorts of slops should be immediately disposed to keep them from coming about. The most tempting meal can be spoiled by being obliged to fight the flies, to say nothing of the disgusting thought of their contact with the food. CHOICE RECIPES. Gingerbread. One cup of molasses, one cup of brown sugar, four cups of flour, ono tablespoonful of ginger, the same of cinnamon, ono small teaspoonful cloves, ono small cup of butter, melted ; three well beaten eggs, one small tea spoonful of soda. Mix these ingredients together, and just before putting into the baking dish stir in one cup of boiling water. Bake twenty minutes. Gingersnaps. Two cups of brown sugar, one scant cup of unmeltcd butter; stir these together till the butter has been beaten to a cream ; add a heaping tea spoonful of ginger, half the samo of cin namon, one even teaspoonful of soda, with a scant two-thirds cup of water. Mix with just enough flour to roll out. Boll to about one-sixth of an inch in thickness, cut with a biscuit or cooky cut ter, and bake in a quick oven. This will make about a peck. Keep in a cool, dry place. Soft Molasses Cookies. Two cups of molasses, one cup of brown sugar, one cup of butter, one even teaspoonful of soda, and one heaping teaspoonful of ginger, one cup of sweet milk, flour enough roll out. Clove Cake. One cup of molasses, three cups of flour, half a cup of sour milk, four eggs, one teaspoonful of soda, two tcaspoonfuls of cinnamon, ono tea spoonful of cloves. Blackberry Cordial. Mash and press the juice of ripe blackberries through a towel, being careful to extract as much as possible. Weigh one pound of sugar to every pound ol juice. Put sugar and juice into a porcelained kettle. Add half an ounce of cinnamon bark, one-quarter ounce oi wnoie cloves and allspice and half an ounce of pondered nutmeg to each quart of liquid. Start it on a quick fire and let it boil one hour, removing all scum that may float on the top. Let it cool, and then add half a pint of good brandy to every quart of cordial. Strain it through a fine hair sieve, bottle and cork welL Tomato Figs. Tho following is tho method of preserving tomatoes in Ber muda, and thereby manufacturing a sweet preservo something like figs : Take six pounds of sugar to ono peck (or six teen pounds) of the fruit j scale and re move the skin in the usual manner ; cook them over a fire, their own juice being sufficient without the addition of water, until tho sugar penetrates and they are clarified ; they are then taken out, spread on uisiifH, utuiencu anu unea in tnesun. A small quantity of the syrup should be occasionally sprinkled over them while drying, atWr which pack them down in boxes, treating each layer with powdered sugar. The syrup is afterward concen trated and bottled for use. They keep from year to year and retain their flavor surprisingly, which is nearly that of the best quality of fresh figs. Tho jiear shaped or singlo tomatoes answer the purpose best. Ordinary brown sugar may be useJ, a largo portion of which is retained in the syrup. An old-time rule for doughnuts is called for by a corresiondent who thinks that things used to taste better than they do now. The receipt is given, but along with it I cannot give tho appetite of his boyhood : In one pint of sweet milk dis solve two teaspoonfuls of bi-carbonato of soda ; to this add two eggs, two cups of sugar, two tcaspoonfuls of butter, two quarts of flour, with four teaspoonful of cream of tartar mixed with the flour wnile both are drv. Knead and roll with quick, light touches, and fry in hot lard. jfoi -Cffa h.hlre.. BETTER THINGS. BV OEORdF. MACDOSALU. Better to smell the violet cool than sip the glowing wine; Better to hark a hidden brook than watch a diamond shine. Better the love of a gentle heart than beauty's favors prnnil; Better the rise's living seed th'.n roses in a crowd. Better to love in loneliness than to bask in love all day; Better the fountain in the heart than the foun tain by the way. Better be fed by mother's hand than eat alone at will; Better to trust in good than say, "my goods my storehouse fill." Better be a little wise than in knowledge to abound: Better teach a child than to fill perfection's rouud. Better to sit at a master's feet than thrill a listening State; Better to suspect that thou art proud than to be sure that thou art great. Better to walk the real unseen than watch the hour's event; Better the "Well done!" at last than the air with shouting rent. Better to have a quiet grief than a hurrying delight; Better the twilight of the dawn than the noonday burning bright. Better a death when work is done than earth's most favored birth. Better a child in Hod's great house than the king of all the earth. OUR LETTER BOX. Aunt Hetty has been away from home, and has been sick too, so her dear little friends must forgive anything that seems like an omission ; especially must she ask tho pardon of Lizzie for the long time which has elapsed since she wrote her last letter. But it is such a eood little letter that it would keep a long time. Aunt Hetty was in Walla Walla on the Fourth of July, too, and saw those nice fire works by the school house. Foster must bo at the foot of the Cascade Mountains, is it not? Then it was a long trip to go to Walla Walla, or it may be there is some other place called "Foster." Those three hundred chicks are a great care to some body, and it must be Lizzie who 1ms the feeding and care of them ; she ought to be able to tell how it is that she has so many. Maybe her father has an incuba tor. It seems as if these artificial chicken hatches are getting very common. They are not a new idea by any means, for the ancient Egyptians had ways of hatching eggs by artificial heat. Now, Lizzie, you write again very soon, so that we may know something moro about the chicken business ; we can't seem to get any of our girls or boys to give any experience about it, either as to how profitable or how much is lost in the poultry business. It is such nice work for young folks that we should think every one of you who have such a plenty of yard and field would start out in the chicken business. Most any father and mother would wil lingly give tho privilege to a child to make all they could out of raising fowls, if they managed it all themselves. Wo do wish some of our orient cirls would set out with a dozen hens and try and keep a regular account, of it all. Keep a little book with the expenses and loss on ono side and the profits and what is used oa the other. If any girl who will do this will send word Aunt Hetty will fur nish a little account book, and then will publish the results at the end of the year. This is the way to commence to be a bus iness woman. We are sure Olive's letter never came to the Farmer office, or it would have hcen published ; as Aunt Hetty lives in Salem it is not always that she gets the letters promptly, but they are sure to be printed in their turn. Olive asks a nico riddle, and gives a solution to tho one Mollio sent, as a "newspaper." Now, it seems as if this might bo . the answer to it, if so, Mollie must let us know. There are some other conundrums that have not been answered yet. None of our young folks have yet said how many verses thev havn inmmiiini The year will goon be up, and by the first of January, 1884, we would like to have each one who has learned reruns tn h ready to send in their names. The one who can repeat the most gets a book one for the girl who has learned tho most, and one for tho boy, and it rrray for others if we find there has been an effort made. Footer, Or., July 31, 1883. Editor Home Circle : I thought I would interest you with another letter, as my other was not print ad for so long a time, but I will not stop for such a mistake as that, Aunt Hetty. I would like to come to Satem to see you ; I used to live in Salem when I was a little girl. We went there when I was a baby, and so I don't recollect it. I was born in Madison county, Montana, De cember 8, 18C8, and I am 14 years old ; I have three sisten and one brother. We used to live in Walla Walla: we lived there seven years. We have liv bm re vemn ieW a r1 Tn?, l , Uiree jears, we have a real nice place out hero; wc have timber growing all around our place ; we have a nice garden ; wo have eight little turkeys and somewhere near 300 chickens. Imid mv sister May went to Walla Walla on the Fourth of July, and wo had splendid time, too. We i of lending money to soldiers at Fcrt Davis live fifty miles from Walla Walla. We and collecting the'smount due on pay day. have not had rain for a good while. School After his dismissal he wrote to the Ad juUnt commences pretty soon, and then I am ' at ne IP0'1 "!

I will try and answer Nora Markwood's question it is a lima that is round as an apple and thin as a knife ; if this is not right please let me know. I will close by asking a riddle: Down in yonder gap stand 24 white horses, now they go, now they go, now they stand still. Lizzie Parker. Norton, Or., Aug. 30, 1883. Editor Home Circle: As I did not see my other letter ia print I thought T would write again. We are having some fine weather now. Wo have got our threshing done. I can't think of much to write this time. I will close by answering and asking a riddlo : there stands a white house full of meat with no door to get in to eat. Mol lie's is a newspaper. With my best wishes to Aunt Hetty, I remain your friend, Olivk Newkiuk. WHAT IS THE REASON MY HEMS DONT LAY ANY BOOST Why it is because they are infected with vermin. In this mild climate the lice oo not get frozen out as in Eastern States, so there must bo a constant war fare and watch kept to keep them down A. hen with ragged feathers, or with few feathers about tho head, is sure to bo full of lice. A hen will not bring off a brood of chickens in good shape if is she infest ed, and what chicks do come will soon be eaten up. Lard and sulphur is a most excellent remedy; grease the fowl on breast and neck, give the wholo flock a treatment, then tho nests, burn the traw, greaso tho perches, or put kerosino oil on them ; use whitewash whenever it is pos sible to put it insido and out ; then if the chicken house can be shut up any way close, it is excellent to burn a pan of sul phur inside, it will kill every one. Sprinkle dry sulphur in tho new nests and then you will have a rest for a good long time. A few rusty nails kept in tho water trough where hens drink ia good for them. An excellent meat sauce, for use at any season of the year, calls for four quarts of ripe tomatoes' ono cup and a half of red pepper cut in bits, one cup of chopped onions, one cup and a half of sugar, half a cup of salt, one pint and a half of vin egar, ono teaspoonful and a half of cloves, the same quantity of cinnamon, ono tea spoonful each of ginger and nutmeg. Let this boil for three hours, then bottle and seal, or put in pint cans. If tho tomatoes, onions and pepper are chopped very fine, it is best not to strain tho sauce. FLIPPER. The Cadet Accused or lilting off HI Own Ear In a love Scrape. A MABIME DIKDIZETTE. An hi faso, Texas, dispatch says: Kx Lieuleuant Flipper, the colored man who was dismissed from the United States army for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle' man, says that he disliked newspaper notn. nety, but is so unfortunate in his affairs that it is continually thrust upon him. He is again iu trouble the present cue, like that which caused his dismissal, has a woman at the bottom of it. The story, as learned from the gay lieutenant and others, shows that about eighteen months ago, when the court- maruai ueciuea inu Me only negro officer bad acted in a manner to render him unfit for his position at West Point, Flipper went from Fort Davis, where he had been stationed, to Paso del Norte, Mexico, to live as quietly as possible until something could be done to have him reinstated. He Interested in his behalf two United States senators, who hav sinco been working for him, and who hope to have him return to the army next year. While at Paso del Norte, Flipper ran across a negio named Hudson Woodruff, who was a coporal under him In the Tenth Cavalry. Woodruff became deeply interested in Flipper and offored to assist him in any way in his P,rwer' ad. F"Pper went to bord at Woodruffs house, with tho understanding, he says, that he would piy after he had gotten back into the army. Woodruff claims, however, that Flipper was to pay aa soon aa he received a certain amount of money, which was always on the point of coming, but never arrived. Flipper boarded with WoodrulT for eight months without pay ing a cent. One unfortunate. niiM Wnmlriiir discovered that his wife. Vina, was entirely too fond of his guest, and he ordered the ptir to leave the house. They did so, and re mained at the hoUie Of & mnlml frian.1 tnr the night. the lollowinff div thuv r.f. r.,.,1 tn k. Woodruff abode to claim their effects, but Woodruff absolutely refused tn illniv th.m In . auyiuing away. This angered the dnskv Vina, who seized a good-siz:d rock and hit ner jeiious nusband over the head with it, cutting a deep gash. The wounded man rushed towards the jail, with his head Meed IDK P,r,,ly. Flipper following, with a threat to kill him if he made any complaint to the police. oodruff had his wife and Flipper arrested and taken to the mayor's court, the former on a charge with intent to kill and the latter for threatening his life. There was much excitement among the denizens. In the court Flipper acted as his own attorney, questioning witnesses for the prosecution and quoting law to the magistrate, fie expressed great indignation when both he and his fe male friend were fined IS and costs, and he was put under bonds to keep the peace. To a correspondent he related hi. tmnhl.. in full and said that Woodruff was a "professional vHlyan," who was trying to injure his charac ter in the COmmauitv and daitrnv his chinnta for retting back into the army. Aa an offset toe cuargs rr ooarun brought against birn, he will prefer the charges against Woodruff of Fddlin C,J "J I'luorsVilhou alicens. highway robbery, petty larceny, keeping a gambling oen, robbing the mails and being a fugitive from justice from West Virginia or Kentucky, altczin? that he rscaned from jail in one of thesi states. In regard to the charge of robbing the mall; Flipper says that n anrl mnnv nfhpr nffif-ftra vatw In thrt nftnit the money should have been received none came, and another letter was sent inquiring about it The Adjutant reported that the money had already been forwarded. Upon investigation he found that Woodruff had taken the litter containing the money and opened it. Flipper was very Indignant and a shooting scrape may result from the compli cation.
