Uut during tho day, while the sun is still in tho sky, tho right direction may be gained it is said, by a simple means of deter mining tho position of tho sun. This consists of placing tho point of a knife-blade or sharp lead pencil on tho thumb-nail, which will cast a shadow directly from tho sun, no mutter how thick tho snow or fog is. Finn under water can bo produced by placing a small piece of phosphorus in a conically-shaped glass tilled with water, and somo crystals of chlorate of potash covering tho phosphorus, and then pouring through a long tubo funnel, or a glass tube, a fow drops of sulphuric acid down on the mixture at tho bottom of tho glass.

This useful and common vegetable can bo easily grown and easily kept through the winter. Not long since a carload of cabbage went through this valley and on up the Columbia, on its way to Butte, in Montana. It is pos sible that other carloads havo gone since then and havo gone often this f-pring. The question that comes home to producers hero is : Why do miners in Montana have to depend on California for their supply f cabbage? and why do the people of this valley eat California cabbage this spring? These questions show that something is wrong in tho producing capacity of Western Oregon. It is to be hoped that the present year will see cabbage enough planted to Btipply Montana from Oregon as well us to supply our own home market. Probably the day will come when sugar can be profitably made from sorghum wherever sorghum thrives; but that day is yet somo distance in the future. It appears that there is about as much difference in maple sup from different, trees, as there is in tho milk from different cows. This difference in sweetness may be duo to age, loca tion, exposure, strength, time of sea sou and other causes. In California the raisin pack of 1887 will amount to 1,000,000 boxes, and tne good quality ot lormer years is I ally maintained. The demand in the East increases every year, and the un favorable season in Spain proves to be advantageous to the California grower. A New York paper says: If Western dealers would realize that it is utter folly to send stale or even rotten eggs to this market tho country would bo better off. Good fresh eggs, are in de mand. Stale ones are not wanted. When ever they come hero they cause trouble, disappointment and profanity An authority on dairying says: A healthy milch cow, in full flow of milk, will drink and requires sixty to ono hundred pounds of water per diem. It is utterly impossible to get ono to take one-half or oven one-quarter of this amount of ice-water, nor will they drink the ice-water or cold water with any regularity. America is tar aliead ot Europe in many things, bin in the matter af for estry in all its branches this country is 100 years behind them. The Rus sian city of Kazan is said to have better collection of American trees than can bo found in any one city in the United States. We have far more natural foiests than exist in Europe. Meat, it is said, is actually dearer in Buenos Ayres than in London. In deed, tho people of tho former city complain that whilo tho best of Ar gentine mutton is gold to London eon burners at nine cents u pound, they cannot get the best at all, but have to pay ten cents to twelve cents per pound for inferior mutton. Because the fields are getting green don't imugino that your stock can now get a good living there, Tho animals that havo been confined to dry feed for months may nip eagerly tho few bits of grass thev can find, but it doo them little good. Keep up the rations of buy and grain or your stock will loso rather than gain for several weeks. Make tho change of diet gradually, kindlv. Take advantage of rho com ing season, but don't push the present. Make liasto slowly now. It will pay. Barley is somewhat better than outs to sow early for soiling purposes. It glows up to cutting tizo more quickly, and just before beading out is espec ially rich and succulent for cows giv ing milk. There is still time after tho soiling barley is out off to grow a crop of fodder corn or Hungarian grass. i lus) double cropping systun requites heavy manuring to make it successful, but that does not matter, as it fur- nislus abundant feed for tho stock re quired to make tho manure. It needs also the beet attainable oows to make this double cropping for feeding them pay. Farm help undoubtedly costs more than tho great majority of farmers can afford to pay. It is quito possible thai there will bo some reducton in wages from this causoauother season; but it will probably be very slight, and not sufficient in itself to give material relief. Wages aro slow to riso in times of prosperity, and correspondingly slow in responding to a time of indus trial depression. If farmers in the East or West wero to pay only tho wages that present prices and crops would warrant, after reasonable pay for their own labor and capital, theie would bo a decisive reduction, where now there is likely to bo little, if any. What reniuins is to deviso every pos sible means to make labor as it can be. Ono of the common causes of thinly seeded meadows and poor pastures is hick of sufficient eeed. Tho common idea is that grass will spread and cover vucant spaces. Usually, however, theso will bo filled by weeds that have greater facilities for spreading than tho more valuable herbage. If the fartnor would get grass seed freo from weeds, and then double tho amount sown, putting it on twico and crossing tho Mold each way, the value of tho grass crop would bo immeasurably in creased, It is scarcoly possiblo to havo grass fill tho ground to completely. The closer it is seeileil the liner the fnge grows and (he more easily it is cured.
