A public meeting was held at Cres-
well, l ane county. Or., a few days ago
to ngil lie the question of removing the

It was argued that Kugene was only a

county property at Eugene could then
be sold for sufficient money to pay off
the debt of the county. I t was charged

The State of Oregon has filed its an
sa r to the cross hill of Multnomah
county in the tax suit. Theansweradmits
several unimportant charges, and asserts
that the object of the equalization was
to maintain a uniform assessment. The
charge that assessment on mortgages in
sum" of the counties is lower than that
of Multnomah county, anil other asser
tions to the same effect, are denied.
The answer also denies that mortgages
w re discriminated against in favor of
other n al estate in Multnomah county,
a id also that only 10 per cent was added
to the usscs-incnt of mortgages in Ciros,
Linn and Washington counties; 25 per
cent in liouglas, 30 per cent in Yamhill,

a*ks for the dismissal of the cross bill,
and that the county be compelled to nay
it*; OH.HD taxes to the State, which it

Court of Appeals at San Francisco, have
affirmed the judgment of the United
State“ District Court of Southern Cali-
fornia. dismissing the libel suit against
iii Chinan steamer Itata and releasing
the vc-se| and 2.0*10 eases of rifles she
h i I u'loanl when seized by the United
Siatc. Marshal in San Diego harlsrr two
year- ago. The hied filed in the Itata
ease charged deliberate violation of Sec-
t on 5 2v! of the United States Revised

lee n tit!' | out with the intent to cruise
and commit hostilities against the gov
ernment of Chili, with which the gov
ernment of the United States was at
peace.
The derision of the Circuit
Court is lengthv and reviews the details
of the late Chilian revolution and over
throw of President Baltnaeeda. The
Court finds that the state of affairs as
alleged in the libel is not borne out by
tiie evidence.

S o il
P ro p e rly fo r the R ecep tio n
o f the Seed.
By all means sow some clover this
spring. Seed is high, yet we cannot
well uo without this useful plant. Wo
need it in our rotations. W e require it
both to furnish the best of hay for our
stock as well us to maintain the fertility
oi the soils of our farms.
Try and keep a good start with tho
spring work, and then keep ahead. The
man who keeps ahead of his work does
not labor as hard in the end as he who
is behind. How everything drags and
how discouraging it is to perform every
farm operation just a few days later than
it should have been done, and how much
loss such a practice entails. So it is
good advice, tiiough often hard to follow :
“ Push tho work and don’t let the work
push you.”
Do not fail to piepare the soil properly
for tho reception of the seed. Fine up
and pulverize until it becomes perfectly
loose and mellow. This is the very foun
dation of farm work, and when this is
slighted hoiv can satisfactory results ho
reasonably expected? Then do not omit
incessant tillage and cultivation through
out the growing season. Keep at it.
Do not turn out the stock to pasture
too early. Spring is trying to the con
stitution. Winds and rains arc preva
lent, and these are precisely the right
conditions for stock to take cold and be
come sick. There is no saving in this
premature pasturing, for the grass has
perhaps barely started.
It contains
much water, and cropping in earlv dues
cattle small good and very likely dimin
ishes the later yield. Furthermore, the
ground, lieing soft, is poached and the
sod badly injured. Make tho change
from grass to hay very slowly, and thus
prevent disorders, winch are liable to
occur.
Spring is the season for all kinds of
transplanting and “ setting-out ” w ork ;
so improve the farm by establishing or
chards and small fruit patches that will
in future years provide the family with
most healthful fruit, furnish a source of
income and improve the appearance and
value of the farm. It seems paradoxical
that so many farmers aud their families
scarcely taste fruit in any quantity. Ru
ral people should certainly take hold of
all the blessings which their lot allords
Plant potatoes early. Blight and rot
generally affect late plantings more seri
ously than tho early ones. Commercial
fertilizers are preferable to stable ma
nures, as the latter seem under certain
conditions much more favorable to the
spread and propagation of tho dread
“ scab." The ground for potatoes should
be plowed deeply and the see! 1 put down
pretty well, say four or live inches, faivel
ulturc is easier and te tte r than the old-
1a diioned “ hill culture.’
Save nil tho manure from all U,e stock,
and by all is meant tbo entire fertilizing
matter from te tli solid and liquid excre
ments. Manures are shamefully wasted,
and our impoverished soils are chenti-d
of their just dues and needs; and year
by year thev beiome more and more ex
hausted. What wonder that crops glow
less and less and we hour the complaint
that “ farming does not pay?” Turn
over a now leaf. Employ absorbents,
such as straw, meadow hay, land plaster,
sawdust and coal ashes, freely ami cur
tail this expensive waste.
There are advantages in H]M*cial fann
ing as well as in general farming. There
are also disadvantages in each. In spe
cial farming there is more concentration
of ell'ort possible; but if the specialty
fails, as all will occasionally, then there

land is particularly suitable for one crop,

Noel Cisiley of Ottawa read at the re
cent Northern Illinois Horticultural So
ciety’s meeting one of the host papers of
its kind that we have heard in a long
while, savs O. J. Farmer. It was short
and brief, hut everything to tiie |K>int.
He said asparagus depends first on the
man, second on the soil, third on conve
nient and cheap fertilizers, fourth on
convenient and cheap later and fifth on
trans|K>rtation and markets. The soil
should te deep, sandv, black loain, with
a porous subsoil and well tile-drained.
Fertilize most liberally; he has no use
for salt. Home markets are test. The
variety he uses is Purple Giant, and he
finds Conover’s Colossal of no account.
Plow twelve inches deep, and set one-
year-old plants eighteen inches apart in
rows three feet apart. Dig holes large
enough to receive the plant roots in nat
ural |M»sitioii and eight inches deep.
Firm the earth well over the plants, 2(K)
of which arc all that is needed foragoisl-
sizeil family. For the test results culti
vate and fortiiize well for two years be
fore cutting.

Set or “ break up ” the broody hen at
once.
Pee that the fowls have fresh water
and pure air, but not damp quarters or
drafts.
If the coops for little chicks arc on the
barn floor, give them some fresh earth
for a carpet.
Do not put off the churning until con
venient, but churn the cream when it is
ripe, whether you have much or little.
It costs as much to make butter that
will sell sell for soap grease as a first-
class article that will seJI at a fancy price.
I f you have to confine vour fowl* so
that they have hut a small run. be sure
you keep it well spaded—that is, spade
