Capital Stock $ 30,000 The promoters of the railroad from Astoria to Goble are exhibiting great ac­ tivity at present, and consider their chances of securing a road better than ever before. It is claimed that stock on this line has been subscribed in New York to (he amount of *1,250,000, and that *300,000 in cash is actnally in hand to begin work with. Patience and per- severence are hound to win, and the peo­ ple of Astoria have exhibited so much of these virtues that they deserve to make the riffle this time.

Hermann has been assure! by the House Committee on War Claims that his bill for »6)9,050 for Oregon and Washington Indian war ilaims will be made a p irt of the omnibus bill carry­ ing *2 090,000.

Boiaaevain and his attorneys explained the proposition for an extension of time for the payment of the government in­ debtedness, and answered many ques­ tions put by members of the committee. A t the conclusion of the meeting a mem­ ber of the committee stated satisfactory progress had been made, but the iiiipur- tance of the question was such that some tim e must necessarily elapse before ail understanding could be reached. The entire Pacific Coast delegation, in­ cluding, of course, Hermann ami Ellis of Oregon, Wilsounnd D oolittleof Wash­ ington, as well as the California delega­ tion, will make an effort to have the amount for Chinese exclusion enforco- ment increased. The Committee on Ap­ propriations has provided ill the sundry civil bill only *50,001 for this put-pise. It mav not be raised in the House, but the Pacific Coast Senators will force a raise in the Senate. Senator Dolpli lias already a proposition making it ♦500,000, and will no doubt securo a part of that sum. Returns received at the Treasury De­ partment indicate the gold output for 18113 in the United States will reach al­ most the unprecedented amount of *37,- 000,000, an increase over 18112 of *4.000,- 000. In Colorado Ihenntput has increased from *3.000 000 in 1892 to *5,009,000 in 1893. W hile the gains in all gold-pro­ ducing countries are unusually large, the Australian production w ill carry the production of the world, it is thought, to *151,0)0.000, which is an increase of *12,000,000 for the year. W ith one or two exceptions this is the largest output ever known. In the Senate Frve said a statement had been published that the Women’s Christian Temperance Union had peti­ tioned Congress to increase the tax on whisky. The fact was a petition pur­ porting to come from that body bad been presented to the House Committee on Wavs and Means. The petitions had been investigated, and it was found ttiey w e r e fraudulent • that, « r , su c h pe rs on s were living in the towns from w h i c h they purported to come. Frye then pre­ sented a remonstrance from the National W omen’s Christian Temperance Union, signed hv officers in fortv-four States and three Territories, against any tax on whisky on the ground that the govern­ ment should notenter into partnership with manufacturers and sellers of intox­ icating liquors. The Postmaster-General has addressed a communication to Hon. John 9. Hen­ derson, Chairman of the House Com­ mittee on PostofHces and Post Roads, in reply to a letter from the latter asking for information and suggestions in re­ gard to a hill intro luced in the House to admit to the mails as second-class mat­ ter periolical publications Issued by or under the auspices of regularly incor­ porated benevolent societies, orders and institutions of learning. The Postmas­ ter-General says that the matter is one that does not commend itself to his fa­ vor and is so objectionable that he trusts the Postofflce Committee will not hesi­ tate to report it adversely. He says that it would be unwise to make a reduction of postage rates or any change in the classification of mail matter that would bring about either a loss of revenue or an increase of postal expenditure, anil refers to the fact that the department’s income is *0,000,000 short of its expendi­ tures.

Representatives Hermann and Wilson have engineered a scheme by which they will secure quite a good-sized appropria­ tion for the survey of public lands. They went to the Chairman of the committee, and agreed not to fight the surveying appropriation if he would allow them a fair appropriation in the bill when it was reported. A chairman of a commit­ tee does not like to have Ii in bill amend­ ed or increased, and he preferred to cotn- iromise with the Western men, who lave heretofore been successful in get­ ting the appropriations for thin particu­ lar matter increased. The Chairman offered Hermann and Wilson *150 (100, and afterwards increased it to *175,000, but thev would agree to nothing less than *200.000, which the Chairman of the committee filially accepted in con­ sideration of the understanding that this (articular feature of the bill should not (e attacked hy these Western men on the floor of the House.

Moist earth is said to be nature’s cure for wasp stings. i Holding stuff ttiat is for sate to i long is just as disastrous as selling too tom . In filling the icehouse set the blocks of ice on edge. It will not melt so fast, i and is easier to get out. A plentiful supply of straw for bed­ ding increases the comfort of the animal and the size of the manure pile these i cold days. The ammonia which is escaping from the manure pile, and which can easily l e detected by the smell, is valuable. I’ revent the waste by occasionally ap­ plying dry earth or gypsum to the sur­ face. Do not dispose of the heifer calves from your gold cows. Those coining now will, if kept thrifty, be ready to turn on grass in May or June, ami will then just snoot ahead if given a little m ilk or grain. I f a piece of land is to be donblo cropped next season, fertilize it freely iimi plant crops which mature quickly, such as wheat followed by millet, or sweet corn followed by buckwheat or turnips. Dairymen don’ t have to berrrow money; so financial strengency does not affect them as it does other people. The reason is that they are never " o u t of a jo b ” and receive their money at frequent und regular intervals. Go down to the “ slough,” and after cutting a hole in the ice get down and drink, and you will learn enough to real­ ize that, it you make your cows face wintry winds tramping after ice water, you are not much of a man after all, Files of decaying matter about the house or barn are a menace to health, as w ell as a breeding place for insects. Even 11cap* of rotting wood bad better lie got rid of hy burning in the stove or in the open air if not needed for fuel. In some of the great cattle-producing sections, where once nothing was thought of bnt stock, land owners are now com­ bining farming with their stock-growing. This combination is true agriculture. Either branch hy itself lacks something of completeness. Do not think that the winter is a sea­ son for leisureonly upon the farm. When it is so regarded .leisure becomes only another name for loafing. Study, read, plan, think and lit yourself to be a bet­ ter farmer next year than you have ever been. There is room for improvement. The sorghum plant makes an excellent forage crop, and is especially relished by the cattle. It is cut and dried somewhat like hay. If syrup is to he made from the plant, the blades are removed and used for stock nnd the stalks run through the mill. The refuse from the syrup mill makes an excellent grade of paper. Go nivay from home a little during the winter if you can, and learn what the farmers are doing elsewhere. When yon are in new places visit the markets, and see what products are in demand and what prices aro being obtained. Every sort of information that at all relates to your business is of value, and you should neglect no op|iortuuity to procure the same. It has been demonstrated that 100 pounds of sand will absorb 2 > pounds of water; 109 pounds of loam, 40 pounds; 100 pounds of clay loam, 50 pounds; 100 pounds of d ay, 70 pounds. This ex­ plains why some soils always appear drier than others ami why after a shower some soils become like a thick paste, while others ure only comparatively damp. W hat sort of a walk have yon from the house to the barn? Some who read this doubtless have only such as naturo made, and nature d >es not make very good ones for wet ami mud lv weather. It would lie wise to take the job in your own hands liefore the season lias pro­ gressist further nnd have at least a solid tsiard walk that will keep your feet dry and your boots clean.
