A great variation in the length of

ferent gaseous atmospheres has
been noticed by M. Villari. With
horizontal carbons, the electromo
tive force that gave an arc 1-0 of an
Inch long in hydrogen produced
one of i of an inch in oxygen, and
one of j of an iiu h in ordinary uir.
With vertical cnrlmn, rsjtcoially
with the negative uppermost, the
length is greatly increusod, and the
same electromotive force gave an
arc 2"..ri times as long in oxygen a
in hydrogen.

Fur Week Failing Niilnriliiy Mnr III.
Thu rain came down al a most
opportune lime, and bus greatly
benefited everything. Haiti two
weeks ago would have insured a
largo spring crop, hut usual Con
ditions from now on will allow of a
crop to be harvested. In many sec
tions late sown spring grain did
not germinate, ami the present
rains may yet produce yields where
none were exiiected, I'm in wim
badly needed, up to the 2Htli none
of any consiueneo having , fallen
since April 20th. The temperature
has been ratlwr high., BsftresjiUO,
ground hcYuine hard and there was
not that growth which was th sired
In Grant county on the 20th teni
perature reached SKI deg., and grass
on hills drying up. Killing frost
in linker county on the 2Mb and
'Kith, and liglit in Union county
which did little daniageou the 2tb.
Grain ami other crops are very
promising in the Grand Hondo val
ley. In I'matilla county snow fell
in tin) mountains on the 2th.
Wheat heading out and doing fine
ly: in ssils it is burned slightly.
Spring wheat Is very promising. In
Morrow w heat continues promising,
but more rain is desired. Consid
erable wind during the week. Kain
is needed in Gilliam county. Hyc
has made a good crop, wheat lnokn
well, and rain will insure a lint!
yield. Apples promise well. Frost
on the JSth did some damage.
Spring grain not doing well. In
Waxco and Sherman winter wheat
promising. Cool weather very lx-n-elit
iul; late xown grain ban mt conic
up well. Fruit is doing well. In
Jarkxon county alfalfa cutting be
gun on the 2l'th; yield good. The
continued warm dry weather un
favorably affected crops in Douglas
county, but the prexent rain will
produce a favorable change. Fx
cfllent crops are alinont now cer
tain throughout thp Willamette
valley. Fall wheat, where sown on
summer fallow, is in tine condition,
and in any event will produee u
good crop. Where sown on stubble

The time of year is at hand when
orchard trees are greatly U-nefited
by a good cleaning of their trunks,
main branches and forks, not only
to give the bark a healthier condi
tion, but to lessen the burrows and
hiding places of inimical insects
and conditions favoring fungus
growth.
Scraping fT the old scaly bark is
generally recoAunended; but before
doing this it is K-st to saturate the
bark audits minute recesses with
some kind of effectual instvtieide
wash that will kill all incipient en
emies before the scrapings reach the
ground.
For such a wash, a Missouri fruit
grower says, in tho Journal of Agri
culture, that houses a mixture of;
lime slacked with soft water (old
soap suds is still better) with earlm!-
ic acid, soft soap and sulphur. To
ono peck of lime, used while hot,
add one-half gallon crude carbolic
acid (cost 5 cents'), one gallon soft
soap and four pounds of sulphur;
stir well, lie says: " If tho mil
ler has laid tho egg which produces
tho borer, tho wash is death to the
egg. The miller, moth and beetles
will not deposit their eggs in a tree
thus washed. The wash described
will prevent both apple and peach
tree borers."
l'rohaldy good strong soap suds
and a judicious addition of tho car
bolio acid would bo very elUeiont,
and we would urge tho point of ajv
plying tho wash before commencing
to scrape or clean olF tho old bark
and rubbish.
Another jtoint in this connection:
We recently saw a statement by a
reliable fruit-grower that he had
proved by experioneo that trees
which horo defective, blemished
fruit were made to produce perfect
fruit by cleaning up their trunks
and limbs and paring out all do
oayed portions, showing to his sat
isfaction that diseasoin the trunk is
transmitted to the fruit.

The Dandelion.
The dandelion should bo our na
tional llower. Tt Harries like richest,
purest gold on the sloping hillside;
across the ls-o haunted meadow; in
the orchard where tho doves hide
in the sweet evenings; about the
cool uiiirsh-pluces, where tho frogs
murmur with swelling throats;
ulniig the banks, where the brook
let lluws, singing, through the rush
es; in the still, holy places, where
our dead ones sleep with quiet
hands and pulseless breasts 0, I
think they must love the dandeli

selfish glory is the thing wo call
life. We reach with eager hands
and covetous hearts for tho rich
ram (lowers that grow above us,
we waste our strength, and break
our pride, and wear out life itself
striving to climb to them, and all
the while we never once see the
sweet, modest, simple dandelion
'that blooms lilting the waysido-
that blooms alike for the rich and
the poor, tho successful and the un

and for all people; it is free free

the gold of its heart to all. And
lat.-r, when a bunch a tiny globe

Iiile many American farmers
are making commendable progress
in breeding improved stock, there
nro many who do not know tho
henelits. They cling to their scrub
stock in ignorance. They do not
read stock or farm pajters or even
read or study of the best kind of
stock to raise. Thev breed from
whatever sire they can get cheap,
The enterprising breeder who has
improved stock is considered by
t bein as not very neighborly if he
asks any more for breeding than
the scrub breeders, and they will
imt use his stock for breeding be
cause he asks more forit than they
can get common stock for; but they
denounce him as an extortioner.
They do not consider that he paid
a big price for his stock perhaps
two -or three times as much as he
asks now for stock of his own rais
ing. Hut tho improved stock
breeder goes on brooding, and bv
judicious advertising sells his stock
to other counties and other states,
while it is often more badly needed
in his own count v. Pacific Farmer.
No organizations in the United
States have multiplied more rapid
ly in the past ten years than the
sick-benefit, funeral-aid, death-ben-
lit, and other kindred societies.
As they are generally confined to
those who arc in tho humbler walks
of life, tho good they havo done is
incalculable, carrying substantial
aid to thousands of stricken fami
lies and inspiring those who arc
fortunate enough in being mem
bers with a courage which might
not exist in their hearts without
them.
Tho members of these organiza
tions will be glad to learn that Hon.
Robert P. Porter, Superintendent of
the Eleventh Census, will endeavor
to secure the statistics of tho noble
work these associations aro doing,
and it is safe to say that no other
branch of the census will be more
interesting.

Women who think of nothing but
how they shall stay young, are wo- ,-,
men of characterless minds. All '
things considered, the greatest wo
man is she who can grow old glori
ously and defy time with some
thing better than enamel. But
your woman who is professionally
on exhibition has got to bring to
tho market what the public most de
sires. And it is a patent fact that
the mob would rather look at the
pastry ness of youththan at the per
sonality. It is this popular in-
tinct that makes exhibiting women
tarve themselves, enamel them
selves, poison themselves, restrict
their functions, suppress their minds
and crucify their bodies. Stella in
