To meet the deficit in the budget the French Minister of Finance suggests the doubling of th, licensing fees of renders of absinthe.

Adeline Genee is a Danish girl, who made her debut as a dancer at Copen hagen when she; was 17 years of age. She then went to Berlin to dance at the Grand Opera House, and after ward to Munich.

In the manufacture of alcohol from peat, a Danish company, with one ex perlmental plant in Denmark and one In France, has found the cost to be about one-fourth of that made from po-J tatoes.

The total value of the city' ex ternal trade for that year was over $150,000,000. These figures account in part for the opening of the new steam ship service between Genoa, Italy and the City of Brotherly Love. The Ital ians want some of the business. India's government has recently, au thorized the employment of women telegraph operators. The candidates must be between 18 and 30 years of age, and they must be unmarried or widows.

Oregon Farmers Overcome Prejudice of Long Standing. from ths Oreaxm Agricultural Collega, Cerrallla. Kale is one of the best talking crops in Oregon. When the Oregon booster wants to prove that Oregon is the best dairy state in the union he has to talk kale. Unless he knows what kale will do to the milk bucket he has not qualified as a boosrer. It is called the thousand-headed kale, and the botanist knows it as brassica eleracea, but it is the plain kale of four letters that does the talking. The strange thing is that it has only been during the last two or three years that it has had an audience, though it is nearly thirty years old in the Willam ette valley. It has tried to talk all those years, but the people wouldn't listen when it sought recognition. "We never heard it talk," they in sisted, back in Iowa and New York. Back there cows produce milk with out kale, and I guess they will have to here." That is tradition. It took thirty years for kale to get an audi ence in this state and live down tra dition. The dairymen of New York under stand what green succulent food means to the dairy cow, and they build expensive silos, buy expensive machinery, and grow fertility-robbing corn, which they irrigate with their sweat, in order that the farmer dur ing the long winter months may have an excuse for milking his cows. The Oregonian needs no expensive silos to remind the cow of the good old summer time. Kale I A thousand blessings on the thousand-headed kale I It is making Oregon tjie greatest dairy state in the union. iWhen grown under favorable con dltions kale will yield 40 tons per acre 8f green feed, and its chief value is as a soiling crop during the fall and winter. Splendid results are be ing secured by feeding kale and vetch hay to dairy cows, without any grain or mill feed. Dr. Withycombe, of the Agricultural College, says that 15 pounds of vetch hay and 40 pounds o kale a day is practical'v a balanced ration for a dairy cow. Mr. W. L. Wilson, of Banks. Or., says: "I re ceived $207 from 14 cows in the month of December, and fed them nothing but kale, turnips and vetch hay. The man who feeds chop would have to make $237 to clear as much as I do. I have not had a speck of mill feed in the barn all winter." Mr. Byron Hunter, of Corvallii, has,-as assistant agriculturist of the bureau of plant industry, U. S. depart ment of agriculture, made a special study of the forage crops of Western Oregon, and in Bulletin No. 91, pub lished jointly by the Oregon Experi ment Station and the Department of Agriculture, has the following to say about kale, which is timely: "Methods of Sowing. For fall and winter use kale is usually sown in drills on well prepared and drained soil as soon after the 15th of March as the season will permit. This fur nishes plants for transplanting in June and July. The land used for transplanting is well manured and plowed two or three times between the) first of March and the firit of June. With the land in perfect tilth It is plowed again with a 12-inch plow about the first of June, and the young kale plants dropped into every third furrow about two and a half to three feet apart. This olaces about one plant on every square yard. The roots of the plants are placed where the next furrow covers them, leaving the tops uncovered. The plants that are plowed in during the day in this way are rolled in the evening of the same day to pack the ground. Two or three cultivations are all that can usually be given, for the plants will soon touch in the row, if they do well. Any plants that fail to grow may be replaced- by hand. Some growers prefer to plant the seed in hills, and when the plants are farge enough thin them to one plant in a hill. Others put kale out just as cabbace is usually transplanted, instead of plowing it in. The time of transplanting must be determined by the size of the plants and the condition of the land. If the land is wet and subject to overflow the transplanting may be delayed un til during July. If the land is well drained and the plants are large enough, it may be done before the first of June. In transplanting, enough plants may be left for a stand on the land where the seedlings are grown. A man living at Maud wants to know if he can irrigate his trees by means of a water wagon and barrels. Pro fessor Thornber did not favor the plan, Btating: "This would be rather too complex. I am of the opinion that you will find it too great an expense, considering the value of a team and a man, to haul this water during the summer. The station would advise you to try and conserve this moisture by means of culture. This could be done with good effect during the summer months. I have had considerable experience on the state college campus in hauling water; and have concluded, first that it is impracticable to place, water around the tree without a heavy mulch of straw; second, that nothing much less than a barrel of water for each tree at each watering, should be given. This will soak the ground up fairly well, and in our case, I did not need to water the trees on the campus more than twice during the summer. I do not know that it will be possible for you to make use of a heavy mulch, but in order to hold the water, it is neces sary to do so. You can use rotted straw for this, or forest leaves." From the Washington State college, Pullman. An Affair of Honor." "Excuse me, mu'am," said the edu cated hobo, "but would you favor a soldier in the great army of the unem ployed with a square meal?"

Little physical irregularities upset the system, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the body feels tired and worn out, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning that the system is disor dered and needs assistance to ward off, perhaps, some serious sickness or ailment. S. S. S. is recognized everywhere as the best of all tonics, nature's medicine, made entirely of healing, cleansing, invigorating roots and herbs, a systemic remedy without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of being the greatest of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circu lation of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, improves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of health to those whose systems have been weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and pleasantly than any other medicine, and those who are run down in health should commence its use at once. It will thoroughly purify the blood and tone up the system. S. S. S. is admirably suited for a systemic remedy because it is free from minerals ; it may be used without harmful results by persons of any age, and no unpleasant effects ever follow.
