Portland, Or., Aug. 2. — General
Agent B. P. Ober, of the Northern
Paciflo refrigerator-car system, was in
the city yesterday. He has just made
an extended tour of the fruit and grain
districts of the country tributary to the
Northern Pacific, and had this to say
cn the subject:
“ There will he an enormous fruit
crop in the Snake river valley, in the
Yakima district, and in the Walla
Walla district. In fact, there w ill be
a heavy crop wherever there is an or
chard in the Northwest. The Sound
itself will ship a large quantity. The
prices are uniformly gorel, growers be
ing content to get one to one and a half
ounm net per |s>und in the Eastern
markets.
“ In this connection I observed a
very noteworthy fact, that is, the im
mense shipment of green fruit and
vegetables to Alaska. One Tacoma
firm has a standing order to ship every
thing in this line that will, in their
opinion, stan 1 the trip. That’s a pret
ty good order.
Most Ala»ka boats
have cold-storage facitlities, and could
use more, for the demand is surprising.
It is a fact that two cents a pound is
netted to the grower on fresh fruit sent
to Alaska, and, now that this mining
excitement is rushing such numbers of
|>eoplu into that region, it is easy to
force a great ami growing market for
the green ami dried fruit and vegetable
products of the Northwest.
“ The grain crop is everywhere most
promising. With the advancing price
for wheat, this will be u banner year
ui the annals of the grain industry. I
was surprised to Hud that over in the
Hprague and liitzville region the wheat
crop was even better than in the Pa-
louse. ”
Traveling Freight Agent Ravage, of
the Omaha line, who just returned
from the Washington fruit and grain
country, ulso says that no description
of the crop outlook this year can be too
glowing.
New York, Aug. 2.— A Herald special
from Washington gave: In support of
their claim to Palmyra island, which
bus been tuken imMsession of by the
British government, the London author

oontains a reference to its discovery and
the action of the British in placing
their flag over it.

In regard to Palmyra

Rattle, of the American ship Palmyra,
in 1802, and was formally annexed to
Great Britain hy Commander Nicholas,
of H. M. 8. Cormorant, May 18, 188».
There were no inhabitants on the island
at the time of its annexation, although
Messrs. Henderson and McKarlane, of
New Zeuland, contemplated cultivating
it . "

Too ls fo r the F a r m e r .
That the farmer or gardener tnay be
successful, the next thing to having
good, rich soil lying well and well
drained naturally or properly under-
drained Is to have the best of tools.
Rome tools are necessary, and, annual
ly, more or less tools must be bought;
but be careful as to what and how you
buy. Flows, harrows, cultivators and
most farming implements are now
made on wheels that they ntay be the
more easily used anil the more easily
transferred from field to field. 1 had
often wondered years ago why these
tools were not made on wheels—liar-
rows especially, as they are so difficult
and dangerous to load on a wagon, or
even on a sled. I suppose this is the
main reason this tool has had more
fence-corner protection and exposure
in the field than any other.
In buying tools my rules are these:
I get ouly those 1 need. Tools Dot
needed are useless, and to get them at
any price is to throw money away. I
get those most needed first, aud then
the way seems to open somehow to get
others as necessity demands. I want
my own tools—do not depend on bor
rowing. Neighbors that have good
tools do not like to lend them, and any
how 1 cannot afford to spend time to
run after them and return them after
waiting, perhaps, some time for their
owners first to do their own work.
I try to get the very best of the kinds
I buy. It pays best in the long run.
Second-hand tools ure generally dear
at any price. The other day I bought
a second-hand buggy to hack about
with dirt cheap, as 1 thought, but be
fore I could use It I had to get a new
pair of shafts, new this and new that,
and repair here and fix there, until it
has become a very dear buggy, and is
an old one still. Then a lot •* u*d
things lying a four'1 «» e an eye-sore,
and no recommendation to a farmer’s
tnoie, tact or thrift.
There are several makes of good
plows, good barrows and good cultiva
tors, but 1 think It wise to prove the
different makes and then choose the
best. A plow that will not scour in all
soils, that will not run deep and steady
and cut and turn nicely and smoothly
a good furrow, is a poor tool—should
he let alone.
I would not now purchase a harrow
or cultivator that was not on
good high wheels. A few years ago I
purchased a horse hoe—an excellent
tool, by the way, but the wheel was so
small that to nte It was a nuisance. 1
made a pattern, and got one cast fully
three times ns large ns the one furnish
ed by the company, and it Is a success.
Going to and from the field, running
along the rows, at the ends, in turn
ing—In short, in nil kinds of work, the
large wheel Is vastly superior to the
small one.
Ro, when I came to buy n band
wheel hoe, I tried to get one that suit
ed nte in other respects with wheels
front twenty to thirty Inches high, but
falling to find one at the time to suit
me, 1 concluded against nty better
judgment to take one with small
wheels— about ten inches high—and
how annoying they were! Every little
clod, or stone, or depression wns In
the way. ft was difficult to run across
Its own markings. So at considerable
expense I made and attached a wheel

four inches high, and thus converted
the troublesome, provoking tool Into

he must contend against. He must be

the birds, who are both his friends and

The largest farm In tills country, and
probably in the world. Is situated In the
southwestern part of Louisiana. It ex
tends 100 miles east and west. It was
purchased lu 1883 hy a syndicate of
Northern capitalists, by whom it Is still
operated. At the time of Its purchase
its 1,500,000 acres was a vast pasture
for cattle belonging to a few dealers in
that country. Now It is divided Into
pasture stations or randies existing
every six miles. The fencing is said to
have cost about $50,000. The land is
best adapted to rice, sugar, corn and
cotton. A tract, say half a mile wide.

One rouson why the egg supply falls
off soon after warm weather begins is
because the hens are exhausted from
the labor of producing one egg a day
for several weeks, and they cannot con
tiuue to do It on their diet of insects
and grass. The hens that are laying
will not be fattened If given a little
wheat each day, especially if It is har
rowed in loose soil so that the fow s
have to scratch for it. The wheat will

part of their feed thau it Is any other

in winter, when they get little exer
else, but they run off fat as fast as they
make it in summer.
T e s t i n g Seed Corn .
Many experiments have been made
in testing seed corn, with the view
of learning which portion of the grain
on the ear Is most suitable. The Ohio
station conducted experiments extend
ing over nine years, using butt, middle
and tip o f the ear graius ou separate
plots, and the result was that the
yield per acre was the same of well-
filled enrs. The average for the nine
years on the piece where nothing but
butt seed had been used was 58.9 bush
els per acre; for the middle seed. 59.3
bushels, and for the tip seed, 58.7 bush
els. The experiment shows that good
seed, perfect In every respect, will give
the desired result without regard to
the portion of the ear from which It
is taken.

As the method of cultivation changes
to a very light scratching of the sur
face, so as to destroy small weeds and
keep a mulch ou the surface to prevent
evaporation, farmers have leu nidi
that they can cultivate potato*« much
later than used to be thought possible.
The old plan of “ laying by" the potato
and corn crop before harvesting is now
rarely followed and never by the best
farmers. It belongdl to the time when
a plow making deep furrows between
the rows anil setting potatoes In a hill
was thought to be the last cultivation
needed. Better crops are now grown
by level cultivation, which if it is made
shallow may he continued a.most until
potatoes are grown and without Injur
ing the crop.

F e e d in g Green.
Coru is the best crop to sow for feed
ing green. Early pea ground or land
front which a first crop of clover has
been cut, is the best for fodder corn.
The ground should be plowed—harrow
ing or cultivating the ground Is not
enough. Plow the land deeply: har
row it both ways to get it mellow; fur
row out and sow four hundred pounds
of phosphate ami one bushel of corn to
the acre. Cover the corn with the har
row, and then drag the ground to make
it smooth. It Is too late to sow millet
or Hungarian grass, unless the ground
Is made very fine and heavily dressed
with fine, well-rotted manure. At least
twelve two-horse cartloads should be
spread to tbe acre.

crimson clover and turnips may be
sown. Sow one pound of turnips and
fifteen pounds of cloversecd to the
acre: the set'll should be fresh. The
one-horse harrow should be run
through the rows before sowing the
seed. To bring turnips 400 pounds of
dressed bones should be sown to the
