in cattle, pigs, rabbits, hareslcangaroos,
camels, and evon in man himself. In
every case in which flukes find an en
trance at all, tliey enter in one way.
The animal (in man's case, probably by
eating watercresses without washing in
salt and water) has swallowed with its
food certain email bags, which in cer
tain seasons are found attached to the
herbage, which are called cysts. These
cysts are in some seasons frightfully
common, and found oyer a wide tract ;
(but in ordinary seasons they occur only
in;6w, marshy spots. These cysts are
somewhat similar to the pupa; or "chrys
alides in which some insects lie -for a
while dormant 'But' the fluke cysts
cannot emerge of their own action ; they
must perish in a few weeks unless some
warm bloodod animal swallows thorn
If this occurs, a wonderful series of do
veloDment beeins. The tinv srerm ex
pands in the cyst as soon as it is swal
lowed, and becomes a loathsome fluke
about an inch long, whose ugly features
have become known to so many farmers
of late years. It is not unlike a small
sole, and is even more prolific of eggs,
(it is estimated that one fluke may give
rise to 500,000 eggs.) These eggs pro
duced in myriads, pass irom the diseased
animal with the dung. If this falls on
dry ground and drought follows, the
eces perish. If it falls in a moist spot,
and water is near, and the thermometer
stands bt over w degrees the eggs hatch
into'an embryro in a few days, which
invisible to the naked eye, may be seen
under- the microscope, darting to and
from water with incredible rapidity. Its
activity is not purposeless for its sole ob
ject is to come into contact with a special
kind of sfiail which seems to bo predes
tined to become its nurse and victim. As
soon as the embryo touches this snail it
commences to bore through its shell, and
succeeding in this, penetrates the snail,
and the second change takes place. The
active embryo becomes a motionless spor-
ocyst a long word which means bag of
germs. This bag may either subdivide
into two or more bags, each complete
and capable of 'reproduction ; or, it may
atpnqe, within "the helpless snail, send
forth redire (named"after an Italian anat
omist, Redi), organizations capable of
moving, which the sporocyst is not.
Moving about within the snail and sup
ported by its'juices, the redioe give vent
to tailed creatures called cercanrc, which
resemble minutetadpoles. These wriggle
out of the, wretched snail's flesh either
after it succumbs to their attacks, or
whilst it lives, and by help of the tail,
move among the herbage until they find
a suitable stem to which the ccrcarias at
tach themselves. Then the tail drops off,
and each cercaria; forming a cover for it
self, becomes a cyst and is ready for the
nextvimim iu onmiun, uiiu nu wj ui-yui
the round anew.
It will be seen in this wonderful nar
rative, that the fluke egg gives birth to
something quite unlike its parent, which
never does become like it, nor lives where
it lived. There has to be the intermedi
ate host (the snail known as Linnteus
truncatulus) and the final host (tho
warm blooked animal) before this kind
of flat worm (known as Fasciola hepatica)
can run its career. A snail cannot tako
the infection directly from another snail,
nor sheep from another sheep ; nor can
snail and sheep suffice to spread the ver
min without wet and warmth. Only in
a small part of each year can the mischief
bo extended.
If this brief summary of Mr. Thomas'
admirable paper induces anyone, says "G"
in the Agricultural Gazette, to begin to
observe for himself what fools call "little
things," and to see how often they ex
plain the troubles of larger and higher
organizations, the republishing of this
brief summary of a most interesting arti
cle will have been successful. The main
facts have been suspected for years ; but
the whole course has now been tested and
proved in such a way as to place the

A Washington lady, whose husband

tea at sunset, and afterward tako a long,
quiet walk with Will, and rest on the
stump at moonlight and tell my littlo
plans for the future and what I had done
every hour while he was gone, and know
that we were alone in the world, living
for each other. Those days seemed like
days in Heaven. I work harder now

Forestry Motet.
Tho Forestry Congress which recently
assembled in Wisconsin passed a resolu
tion recommending tho establishment
of an Arbor Day in each of the United
States and Canada. What is meant by
Arbor Day is some suitable day named
by the Governor of a State upon which
there is a universal planting of trees on
one's own land by tho owner, in parks
by corporations, in school grounds by
school boards and pupils in short, so
general attention to the subject of trroo
planting as shall work favorably in what
is called village improvement, the culti
vation ofv different species of trees by
farmers as oropa, the- beautifying of
highways, etc- Some States already
have Arbor Days, and the institution
works' well and leads to the planting of
many trees- There has been some agi
tation of the subject in this State; and
some" effort in the right direction. The
Congregational Church of Berkeley ob
serves Washington's birthday ns an
Arbor Day by meeting in the afternoon
for the planting of trees, shrubs, flowers,
etc., upon the church grounds. Wash
ington's birthday; in the greater part of
California, is well placed 101 tree plant
ing, and the close connection of a tree
with the early history of the great pa
triot makes such a ceremony on his
birthday quite apprppriate.
Tho Forestry Congress also recom
mended that the members represent
to the States the necessity of establish
ing forestry experimental stations and
memorialize the Legislatures of the
different States, urging upon them the
practicability of establishing these sta
tions. The report also recommends that
experimental stations center in the agri
cultural colleges.
The committee on memorializing the
State Legislatures upon the cstablish-ment-of-State
forestry commissions re
ported memorials, calling attention to
the importanco of giving early attention
to measures for tho maintenance of
forestry supplies, and to the relations
existing between a duo proportion of
woodland and agricultural welfare of
the country, water supply, etc. In view
of tho fact that the most settlod portions
of tho country were owned by individ
ual proprietors, the report states that
the most effective way of promoting tree
culturo is the diffusion of correct ideas
among tho owners of land. This end
would bo best achieved by the appoint
ment of State commissions to introduce
new varieties of trees, keep people in
formed of the best methods of tree cul
ture, establish nurseries and experi
mental stations, and hold meetings. In
this connection it is of interest to state
that forestry is not being neglected by
the Republic of Mexico. An exchange
says:
The government has lately contracted
with Mr. Oscar A. Droege to plant
2,000,000 trees in the valley of Mexico
within four years from March 15, 1884
500,000 a year in such places as tho
government shall choose. The con
tractor pledges himself to establish a
number of nurseries and to have in
them each year at least 800,000 ash,
35,000 willows, 120,000 poplars, 00,000
eucalyptus trees, 00,000 trcenor-japones,
60,000 mountain cypress cedars, G0,000
acacias, and 120,000 of miscellaneous
varieties. The trees must be in planta
tions of from 50,000 to 100,000 each, and
Mr, Droege has to maintain them for
two years after planting. He is not
compelled to plant trees along tho high
ways, however. Three graduates of the
Sohool of Agriculture are to be received
in the nurseries each year, there to
study tho science of forestry. He is
also to raise fruit and other useful
plants for free distribution. The con
tract also provides for tho translation of
a German work of recognized merit on
forestry, An inspector is to superin
tend, and Mr. Droege is to reciove an
nually $40,000 till tho sum roaches a
total of $200,000. Rural Press.
Hutching Recently Set Plants and Shrubs.
Shrubs and plants that are to be pro
tected by mulching, should have tho
mulching applied before the hot dry
weather commences for two reasons :
first, because after the surface of the soil
gets dry and baked hard, the applica
tion of a mulch does not readily soften it,
and second, if applied after the principal
rains are over, the mulch is very liable
to dry through, and thus fail to accom
plish the object desired; but if for any
reason the mulching has leen delayed
until hot weather by extra labor, tho
factory results. This is accomplished
by cultivating tho land and making the
soil light and loose before the mulch is
applied, and after applied giving it a
thorough watering, that it may not dry
through. If the work be well done, and
the mulch be of the right material, quite
dry land can thus bo made to carry
plants and shrubs saieiy tnrougn a pro
tracted drouth without any furthor at
tention from, tho owner.
One of the best materials to use as a
mulch is partly decayed leaves ;jtheso re
tain the moisture, and when 'decayed
make an excellent fertilizer for almost
any crop, and especially shrubbery.
Xear the seashore coarse salt hay is used
quite extensively, and makes a good
mulch, besidee it comes quite cheap; but
in such locations eel grass comes still
cheaper, and answers a very good pur
pose, retaining the moiture better than
most of other materials. One of tho dis
advantages of this material i'b it does
not readily decompose, therefore is of but
little value as a fertilizer, and for this,
reason, is but little used. Away from
the seashore a coarws meadow grass can
usually 13 obtained at a vury luw rate
that serves a very good purpoeo as a
mulch for small plants, shrubs and trees.
Shrubs and plants that have not been
set long enough to get fully established,
must be protected from tho dry winds
and hot sun of July and August, or thoy
will suffer, if not dio. This protection
may be secured in two ways : First, by
mulching with some material that will
retain the moisture, and second, by
keeping tho soil so well cultivated as to
prevent a crust from forming on the sur
face. Tho first is cheapest and best,
whore the shrubs arc scattered over con
siderable land, and the last is the cheapest
where the shrubs or plants are near to
gether, and shade a considerable portion
of the land. Mass. Dowman.
Look to Tour Orchards
Every farmer in Oregon should now
look carefully after the fruit business.
Old orchards that have become worthless
should bo dug up and' now ones planted
in their stead. A larger acreage of all
kinds of fruit bearing trees should be
planted out to meet the advanced demand
for fruits. The opening of the Northern
Pacific railroad will create a healthy de
mand for fruit in Idaho and Montana.
California has already commenced ship
ping apples to Montana by way of Port
land. This season she will hold the fort
as Oregon has no fruit to ship, but if or
chards ore put in proper bearing trim
for another year, this profitable iudustry
will of necessity be almost wholly monop
olized by the fruit culturisU of our
State.
Again we say let every farmer look to
his orchard this fall, and when trees are
worthless and dead, pluck them up and
plant young thrifty ones in their place.
New orchards should be set out and old
ones enlarged. There is going to b a
demand for green and dried fruit at re
munerative prices, and fruit culture is
one of the most profitable and staple in
dustries one can engage in, bringing in
a greater revenue for muscle expended
than any other industry. There is no
danger of overdoing the business. Dried
fruit is a staple article of commerce, al
ways in demand at good figures, easy of
shipment and almost wholly secure from
loss. Don't delay, but plant out new
orchards this fall. Tho fall of the vcar
is the time to plant out tress. Tho rains
of winter securely packs the dirt around
the roots, and in the spring the treo is
ready to grow. Every person who owns
a farm should plant a fino orchard, as it
enhances tho value of the propertyt
makes it more profitable and salable if it
is to bo sold. Farmers havo got to de
pend upon something olso for a living
besides raising grain for a living. Other
industries must be inaugerated, and fruit
culture is an auxiliary industry that
every farmer can carry without great in
convenience, while tho profit it brings in
affords material assistance when other
industries fail to net their yearly in
comes. Albany Herald.
Betting Small Fruits In the Fall.
We know it would be to our interest
pecuniarily to urgo our readers who are
writing us about setting out large planta
tions of strawberries, and who want plants
by the thousand for that purpose, to re
commend fall setting, but, as a rule, wo
cannot do it and bo true to their interest.
Whore but a few hundred are wanted to
start now kinds or to get a little fruit
next year, we recommend setting this
mouth as small beds are properly cared
for after setting, and protected through
the winter by mulching, but do not re
commend setting out plants in quantities
for market purpocs before spring, un
less it be south of Virginia, where winters
are mild and they can be set in Novem
ber. September is the best month for fall
setting of a few dozen or a hundred
plants, although we have had good luck
with October setting and even into No
vember. But for raspberries and black
berries, wo say most emphatically the
fall setting is far preferablo, and we pro
pose setting this fall about thirty acres,
driving over the ground just as freezing
weather begins and throwing a forkful of
manure over each hill for winter protec
tion. Our experience in setting, both
spring and fall, is that we get nearly
double the growth the first year from
thoso set in the fall over the ones set in
spring and the following years nearly
double the crop that is, if set this fall
they will make double the growth next
season over those set next spring, and in
1885 we get about double tho crop
Fruit Recorder,
Not long ago I heard an elderly
woman make this speech to a young
girl : "When you live to lie my age, you
will know how littlo love or romance, or
whatever you call it, is worth." On
some temperaments such words fall liko
frost. Experience is not always a guar

A child seeking protection in its mot -er's

tho blind know of tho wonders and
beauties of earth! What folly for them
to affirm that tho flower-fringed path,
tho radiant clouds, the star-lit sky aloft,
exist but in our imagination. Tho pat
riot is not led to battle through a buo or
sordid motive. If he did not loo his

and it is that, and that ulono, that will
give an atmosphere of home to the log

M How They Liked the Trip"
SjK-aking of tho opinions exprerfiod
by the party of the last spike guests, a
Chicago paper sajs thoy rcjiorted a moat
enjoyable trip and wondered how such
great improvements' and ' wonderful
changes could occur in k short it length
of time. They Faid there were opjior-tiinitic-H
for investment of capital nil
along tho route, and some of tho party
that left Chicago ono month ago were
by no means backward in taking advan
tage of tho tempting opportunities.
They think the immense plains, and tho
plains of Oregon p.rticnlarly, inviting
to capitalists, as tho lands are clear and
the ranges boundless. The English gen
tlemen said, upon their return home,
they expected to bo questioned very
closely about thei' trip and intended to
tell the truth to all people, both capital
ists and young men in moderate circum
stances. They would advise capitalists
to Bend agenU to this country with the
view of making extensive investments
along the line of tho Northern Pnnifir.
and to young men they would say that
ouiuu ui hub country presented advan
tages for them tlint would eventuallv
provo of great benefit. Mr. West also
agreed with Professor Hoffman that the
German laborine 'classes wore needed tn
develop tho country through which thoy
have just passed, and thought that next
season would witness the largest Ger
man emigration to America of any pre
vious year. Professor Hoffman proposes
to mako a special effort to induce his
countrymen in comfortable circumstances
to locato in the United States.

From a littlo patch of amber cane,
planted as an experiment, in the Natches
valley, Mr. Joseph Sinclair has recently
made 100 gallons of syrup. -Captain
Simmons has a sorghum mill, recoived
but a few days ago, and has already made
1,000 gallons. This season has demon
strated beyond question that this soil
ad climate are perfectly adapted to tho
growth of cane, and that our farmers
havo it within their option to build up ft
sugar industry in this and adjoining val
leys which would bo immense in propor
tions, yielding fortunes more reliably
than hop growing, because tho price of
sugar is more stable. The Record has
from time to time looked upon the hope
ful side of this heretofore not thoroughly
tested question. It feels now liko urg
ing the farmers of this vicinity to lay
wido and deep 'tho foundation for a
sugar industry which may becomo a
source of groat wealth to this county.
Wo would suggest the' formntion of an
amber cane association, whose object
should be tho promotion of the growth
of cano and investigation of tho best
methods of refining. Yakima Record.
Whitewash Every Spring.
No person who regards tho health of
his family should negloct to whitewash
every spring. Country places, especially
farm out-houses, fencos, etc., aro gen
erally improved in appoaranco by an
annual coat, and it will add to their per
manency more than ono would imagine.
It is cheap and easily applied, so that
neitlior oxpenso norlnborcanbeplo.idod
a.'inst it To bo durable, whitewash
should be prepared in tho following
manner: Tako the very best atono lime
and slake it in a close tub covored with
n cloth to prescrvo tho steam. Salt as
much as can bo dissolved in tho water
used for slaking and reducing the limo
should lie applied, and tho wholo
mass carefully strninod. A few ponnds
of whoat flour mixed as a panto may bo
added and will givo greater durability
to tlm mass, especially when applied to
tho oxtorior surfaco of tho buildings.
With puro limo properly slaked and
mixed, almost any color may bo mado
by tho addition of pigmonts. Granite,
Blato, froe-stono and othor bhndes may
be imitated, and without any detriment
to tho durability of tho wash.
Bread Upon the Waters.
Readers of tho Statesman will remem

during the harvest, the Statesman con
tinually requested snmples of grain from
tho different sections of this valloy. As
a nuo our larmcrH responded liberally,
and that their work and tlint of tho
Statesman has borne good fruit will be
seon from tho following extract from a
letter written by H. E. Holmes, Esq , of
this city, from New York, where ho is
