CIRCULATION MAKES

OFFICIAL
The Paper. Witlumt it advertisers get
nothing for their money. The Gazette,
with one exception, has the largest circula
tion of any paper in Eastern Oregon.
Therefore it ranks high as an advertising
medium.
Buy advertising space because rates are
low -generally the circulation is a sight
lower. Circulation determines the value
of advertising ; there in no other standard.
The Gazette is willing to abide by it.

FENCE PANELS OF LIOIIT POLES,
show the effects of their restlessness and
dissatisfaction in a falling off of condi
tion. The experienced shepherd, there
fore, provides for this necessity by di
viding the p-isture by4Beans of portable
fences, or removing the tlock to anotlier
eeld, where in a few dn.ys they begin to
show a desire to return to the former
pasture. Hurdling shrep is most large
ly practiced where land is high and the
area restricted. Henry Stewart de
scribes in Country Ueutleman his own
plan. He says:
My plan has been to provide light
hurdles or portable panels which may
be readily taken down nnd set np again,
and so give the sheep a change before
they become restless. A discontented
sheep makes the whole flock like itself,
and a falling oil
in condition is an
immediate result.
These panels may
; be made of light
, poles sawed down

shown in Fig. 1.

with a heavy mullet. The ends are
wired together. By disposing of the
panels in a skillful way some trouble
may Ire stive in moving tnem. as. ior
instance, by oponing fence number one
(Fig. 3) the sheep are turned into the
second lot. and so on through the whole
four, when they come to number one
again. By this time each lot grows up
again and has a new. clean growth for
the flock. A wire should bo stretched
at the top of the panel which will keep
the sheep from jumping over, a liamt to
he discouraged and prevented most care
fully, and is far more easily prevented
than cured.
A panel of light boards is also shown

roosts and nests that can be curried out

poulterers will be glad to avail them

Important Points to Ite Observed tn the
Construction of the Stack.
As between the two usual methods of
preserving hay and grain from damage,
lifter these have been harvested and
properly cured, storing in the shelter of
a good barn will result in the least loss.
It is, however, often necessary to stack
a portion of ouo or both of these crops
from the want of sufficient barn space.
In such cases it is highly important
that the stack bo properly constructed.
The agricultural editor of the New York
World has the following to say on the
subject:
The safety of the grain or hay to be
stacked depends largely on the expert
ncss of tho man who builds the stack.
Any farm hand can pitch hay or sheaves
of grain from a wagon, but unless the
stacker is a man of some experience in
the business and with a good eye for
proportions and outlines the stack is
quite certain to be faulty in shape, and
probably so lopsided that one-half of it
will offer but little resistance to rain.
While the shape of a stack is very im
portant, the manner of laying on the hay
or sheaves while building it is equally
so. In all cases tho center of the stack
should bo kept the highest, so that the
incline of tho sheaves or forkfuls of hay
us they are laid on shall he outward.
Again, hay should not be tramped down
on the stack in wads' and rolls, but
should fall flat from the fork so as to
make as compact aud water resisting a
body as possible.
When a stack has been properly topped
off aud presents no rough or jagged out
lines from top to bottom, it affords quite
a safe method for protecting either hay
or grain that cannot be cared for in a
burn,
Clover is more liable to damage and
harder to be protected from wet in stacks
than are the liner stemmed hay grasses,
and whero there is only room for one
variety of hay in the barn it is best to
put tho clover into the mow.
NKWSPAPKR OPINION.
Adjourned.
American Economist: The great free
trade congress has adjourned. Its mem.
u-ers, immediately before and after their
eleotion, boasted high aud lend of the
wouders they were about to accomplish
in the way of extirpating the AloKinlty
tariff tree. They have contented them
elves with Ave feeble little attempts to
ick a twig from its proud bmi.obes.
t'hey put through the house a free wool
lill, a free cotton tie, cotton banging aud
nmding twine bill, a free silver-lend ore
Mill, and a bill reducing to $100 the
amount of personal effeols a person can
b'ing into the United States without
paying duty ou them imd then went
home. And the McKinley tree rustled
its luxuriant green lenv. g in suppressed
laughter as the free-trade mob dispersed.
What's It Worth?
Amerioan Econouiist : At Woousock
et is a yarn mill brought out from Bel
nium by the McKinley Tariff Over
there the establishment supplied yam to
American manufacturers; but when the
duty was pnt up, it was obliged to move
to this oouutry or lose its trtide. It ac-
!ordiiiiy came. Query: How nuioh per
annum do yon suppose that yum mill is
worth to the people of Woonaooket?
MOVABLE NEST,

eyelets are shown at C C and D; a

box.
By boring holes in tho boards A A,
the nest may he used for sitting hens,

the north side of fields for the purpose
of getting a supply of theso poles, and
bv nlautine closely it will be only a few
j-are before the poles will be large
enoutrh for use. The shelter thus af
forded bv the groves is also mopt val
vable to any sheep farm as welj1 as for
any other, and the cost is a mere trifle.
When soiling is practiced, ojnly small

and plowed and sown will any one or
these crops for pasture. Vis long as it
may last. By such a metiodof feeding,
a flock may be made art. accessory to
any kind of farming, e.iiecially on a
dairy farm, where tho shi p will follow
the cows and gladly pick Jap what they
have left. For the reairrg of early
lambs, this method of soifitig the ewes
will be found a great economy, and all
the more as this pursuit is necessarily
carried on in localities where land i of

Ilee Paralysis.
Bee paralysis is becoming so common
of late that it threatens to be quite a
serious affair. From quite a number f
sources comes the report thuccotniuon
gait is a specific remedy. I nest Root
says that in the home yari'f where the
grass wa kept down with s. . no canes
appeared, while in the outyard. -here
no salt was used, there were two cWses.
I have almost always kept the Hrrass
down with salt in front of my hives, and
have never had a case in my apiary, says
the editor of The Beekeepers' Review.
Unloading liny.
Several years ago, writes a Country
Gentleman correspondent, when 1 had
no help but a boy, 1 had to do all the
pitching both ways, which was too much
for me. 1 tried most of tho hay forks to
unload with, but there was so much
rope for the horse' to sfep on while 1
pulled in the fork that it was worse
than Ditching bv hand. 1 then built a
stout crane of wood that would just
swing under the purlin girts and plates,
with rollers for tho ropes to run on that
went from the end of tho crime, over the
top, down into the basement on r. drum,
then up to a snatch block on tho big
door post to hitch the horse to: then 1
had three parallel sticks on each side of
my cart or wagon, with ropes running
through them crosswiso to spread tlu-in
apart. These Bticks were laid on the
rigging, three on a side, with toggle
joint between them.
These were loaded on or under tne
load. When in tho barn the ropes with
hooks on were let down from overhead
and hooked to the ropes brought together
over the load tho horse hitched on the
rope from the drum in the basement.
When tho load was raised clear ot tlie
wagon a pitchfork would swing it over
the mow where wanted, a small cord
would snatch open the togglo joint un
derneath, and the hay would drop out:
then the weight of the sticks wool 1
bring them down on the wagon again
I have a great many times driven a load
into the barn (doors at both ends to
drive through), taken off my oxen,
hitched thein on the rope, had tho hay
swung on the mow, tho sticks hack on
the cart, the oxen on and cart out of the
barn inside of five minutes, and have
done it several times in four minutes.
SOMK KAfiLKTH.
The llurrel Coop.
Everybody knows what a nuisance it
is to have a hen in a common barrel
coop, and there is a possibility that the
chicks do not think much more of it
than we do. There are dangers with the
round barrel. If not looked after, es
pecially wlien there is a high wind,
thero is a likelihood that the breeze will
try to use the coop as a football. Again
the excrement of the hen and chicks
gathers in the barrel, and with the straw
that is usually thrown into it forms
tine breeding place for vermin, from
which thev can go forth in armies to
conquer their incubators, the chicks.
But barrel may be made into coops that
will prove efficient.
Each barrel should be divided into
two coops, sawing the barrel lengthwise.
To do this is an easy matter. Take a
pencil or piece of chalk aud mark the
hoops just where you propose to cut
them, which should of course he wliere
two staves meet. Care should bo taken
also to cut the barrel the right way of
the head so that the saw will havo to be
used only to cut the hoops. Now it is
desirable that the hoops should remain
to keep tho staves in place, and to do
this some nailing will bo necessary be
fore the hoops aro cut. Having marked
whore tliG hoops aro to be cut, nail the
hoops to tho staves on either Bide of the
mark. It may bo necessary to nail into
somo of the oilier staves to insure a firm,
permanent coop.
The advantage of this coop is that the
hen and her chicks havo the ground un
der them, nnd their sleeping place may
be kept clean by removing the coop
from place to place, whilo in the other
case, the coop if moved carries all its
refuse with it. Thero are other advan
tages which tho user will discover.

Exterminating the Chinch Hug.
Professor Snow, of Kansas, who has
been a long time experimenting, claims,
and other entomologists believe, that
the devastation of crops by tho chinch
bug will soon be a thing of the past.
Professor Snow believes that tho bug
may be exterminated by the spreading
among the species of a deadly infectious
disease, which he compares with the
cholera among human beings. The din
ease producing organism is a fungus
parasite of which three varieties have
been found. In order to kill all tho bugs
within a considerable urea it is only
necessary, according to the authority
quoted, to introduco a few diseased
bugs. Within four days of infection the
bugs ceaso work and in eight days are
dead. Professor Know will soon publish
I a definite report of the results of his in
vestigations, tlie practical portions oi
which will bo made known to the farm
ers throughout the country by means of
bulletins and newspaper accounts.
