There has been norne controversy in iegard to the comparative merits of special funning and diveiHiliutl farming, with u general opinion that Hpeciul farming wuh the most profitable. Un doubtedly it is so in manyciiBos, where tho farmer him a special liking for pome one branch of bin btiainefcs, and an adaption to it, and is in a locality or upon a noil peculiarly fitted for it. Ho gives his whole attention and energy to it, and liking it well enough to strive to do the best thing in the best manner, lie could scarcely help achiev ing success. Yet every successful one has had a host of imitators, who have failed to attain any thing beyond mediocrity, and financially have not obtained good results. Thoy either are not adapted to special farming, or have not fcund the right specialty yet, and a speciality in farming as in anything else requires patience, pcrserverance and courago to stick to it despito discouraging fail tires, and to wait until by many errors the right methods have boon found. Again, there must be behind all this a capital to carry him through the un favorable scabons, and tho losses' that seem to come at eonio time in any kind of business. Probably a largo share of tho farm ers aro succeeding bettor under tho old eystom of diversified fanning, with dairying, orcharding and a varioly of fiold crops, by which if one branch shall not produco a profit in any year, Homo olhor will have an exceptionally good soason, that will insure a moder ate profit upon tho whole. Upon many farms there might be a much greater diversity of interests than there now is, with a reasonable chance for better financial results. The numerous manufacturing villages of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the sufumer hotels and boarding houses create a demand for many farm and garden products which might bo, but arc not, supplied by tho farm ers in their own vicinity, and inako necessary an appeal to tho markets of tho lurgor cities, which in their turn are supplied by farms and gardens in localities where laud is more costly and labor more expensive than it would bo within a fow miles of tho place whoro tho same was to be consumed. Why should tho express teams and trains out of lioston be loaded daily Willi fruit and vegetables, moat and poultry and eggs, for tho county towns of Now Ilampshiro Or of contral Mass achusetts, or the resorts along tho sea shore, whoro land is idle and laborers seeking for work in all those soetious. It certainly should not ho so, but it certainly is so, as an examination will show. Can tho farmors there grow no other crops than corn and potatoes, and no fruit but apples? Have they no ono who can take care of hens and ducks, raiso chickens, gather up oggs? Is it not as easy to keep a few shcop, and have lamb!) and mutton to veil, as it is to keop swine and sell pork? Aro there no flowers in tho fiold or tho forest which would furnish honoy for a fow swarms of bees? Aro there not boys, and girls too, who could find time to attend to the specialties, and who would, if given a share of tho products, tako an interest in their work that would attach them more strongly to the old home and to tho healthy farm life? Increase tho sizo of tho family gar den apd grow n greater variety of crops of such sort as tho local markets have to scud away to procure. Oct a fow Bhoep to run with tho cows in tho pasture. It is an old saying that a pasture will better feed ono cow and six sheep than it will the cow alone, and if this is not exactly true the first year, tho hcop will m entioh tho land and keep out tho foul weeds that the toil will soon be much better and the grass more abundant. If accustomed (o run together tho cows will protect tho sheop from dogs, and tho sale of wool nd lambs will prove n wolcomo Addition to tho income of tho farm. Uuild Hit addition to the jioiillryjioiibo nml keop a few more fowls, Uivo tlKHU flood food and good onto, ami kiMtp h tiiut account of oxpendittiies Mid U), A Kood lien will pay moro money over her keeping than a poor cow, and chickens and eggs are cash commodities in almost nny village, ns current as national hank notes, or easily converted into thorn. Obtain a few hives of bees, They find their own food, and a little atten tion daily will bo all that they require, and in each one of those hives will be from 20,000 to 50,000 busy workers, gathering honey for their owner from the flowers of the field and the forest. With the modern hives the labor of taking care of the bees is small, and the art is easily learned, and within the limits of the strength of boy or girl, with perhaps a little assistance from older persons at swarming time. A good swarm in a good location can easily make twenty-five pounds of honey in a season, beside what is needed for their own maintenance and ono beekeeper has reported taking 500 pounds from four hives. Somebody makes money in growing these things, and why should not the farmer who has land enough and whoso family need work and need tho pay for their labor. Albany Democrat. IIONKST MONKV. Hero is the curiency plank of tho Massachusetts democrats' platform: Wo believe in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of tho constitu tion, and in a currency convertible into such coinage without loss. This declaration, expressing the uniform historic policy of the national demo emtio party, contained in its platfotms of 1J and Jean, we unreservedly reaffirm. We believe that all dollars coined by the United States should bo of equal intrinsic value, and Mint all paper currency issued by the government should bo redeemablo in either gold or silver coin, at tho option of the holder, and not at tho discretion of the secre tary of the treasury. Tin's is good doctrine and good dem ocratic doctrine. Not gold alone. Not silver alono. Not. paper backed by government promises. Hut honest money made of gold and silver, or of paper based on gold and silvor and convertible into them. Tho gold equal to the eilver in intrinsic ymIuo; tho silver equal to the gold in intrinsic value, and tho paper only a dovico for convenience of use, hut representing dollar for dollar coin available for itH redemption on demand. A currency not varying in Volume according to tho caprico of legislatures, at one timo appreciating in purchasing power be cause artificially contracted, and again cheap to tho point of worthlessness because wantonly inflated, but steadily expanding as the needs of business dictate because the mints are open for its free coinage Here wo havo au ideal money, oppressing noithor ono class nor tho other, safe from the con trol of speculators, available over in tho hour of distrust and uncertainty honest money, tho money of our fath ers.

Tho facts in tho caw. aro as. follows: About two weeks ago Hen ry Prior and a companion arrived hero from the Wanhington mines, and they immediately began prospecting in tho mountains south-west of Joseph. On Monday about noon Prior visited tho "Huiiner Hoy" ledfo whore W. C. Allen and Kd. Clements were at work. Ho took u pick and got down in tho prospect hole for tho purposo of examining the ledge. "While ho was thus engaged his revolver, which had been carelessly thrust in tho waist-band of his punts, fell to the ground and was discharged, the ball striking Prior just liolow tho heart and ranging upward. The un fortunate man uttered tho words, "Oh Iml I'm shot!" and fell forward. (Moments at onco started for medical assistance, and Allen and Tonoy Olson, who was working near by on another lodge, rendered what aid thoy could to tho dying man. Prior did not live moro than throe minutes after tho accident, and all of Monday night Allen and Olson kept faithful watch besido tho boly, midst a blinding storm and se verely cold weather. On Tuesday, after Prior's companion had nrrived, the body was taken alnmt thirty yards down tho mountain and there given tho best burial that was possible under tho cir cumstances. Tho property of the dead man, consisting of two horses, blankets, a gun, etc., was turned over to Sheriir Humphreys. Nothing can lo learned of Prior's former home or his relatives, as his companion or partner claims to know nothing of him except his name. Sl.oritniuinphroys, however, taking for hit guide the data found in tho dead man's iKissesniuu, is writing to various lo!nts with tho hope of eliciting bonui information in regard lo him, Prior was a 11m' appearing man, prolwthly iilxmt 10 years of ago, ami is said to have Ihwii an oxpurlonctsl prosjHVtor. The accident was u very unfortiinato allUIr and is much regretted by thobo with him at (ho timo, although it wan minted by tho victim's owi carelenniicss. -Wallowa Ohictuln. lly amount paid out on county uarrantN lly amount paid out ou eehool Hiiperluteiident'H vmrfftllt. lly balance general fund ou hand , lly balance heboid fund ou hand. lly amount paid out on estrnv fund lly amount pah!
