T1IE COMIXO COSIEST.
The submission to the pwpk of an j
amendment to the constitution of Ore- i
g.m, prohihitinir the manufacture and
ale of Intoxicating liqurvns for other
than medical and scientific purples,
Is the result of the persistent eil'orts ot
the temperance veople throughout the
rotate. Heretofore the plans for prohib
iting have not leen in accordance with
the views of a large number of people
friendly to the cause. Hut now, the
legislature has been prevailed upon
to put the question fairly and square ly
lw fore the people in a shape and under
ciwumstanevs where they will nave to
vote "yes or no." It has come to that
point in the history of Oregon on this
question when no one can consistently
remain neutral. The press and the
people mast come to the front on one
nlde or the other, or take the embarras
sing position of standing between "two
fires," Such a rxwition will certainly
be dangerous as the contest grows
warm.
We deem it prudent now, that the
plan suits us,tosay that we are in faver of
it and if permitted to esst a vote next j
November, will do so accordingly.
far as The Exrituss is concerned, it
will always endeavor to do what it can
for Hie best interests of the people gen
erally. Taking this view of matters,
it will certainly support the prohibito
ry amendment. It is not to be under
stood by this, however, that it will not
listen to both sides of the question, but
rather invites a fair discussion of the
issuscs raised during the campaign.

sational preacher, politician and phil
antrophist, died ia Brooklyn, N. Y.

A slow milker should never be al
lowed to touch a cow. If a cow milks
easily, a good milker should lie aide to
get a"ll the milk in five minutes, and
lie will got more than a person who
t.ikes ten minutes to do the same work.
A nine year old trotter named Pre
tender is said to lie the coming wonder.
He is by Dictator from Winona, she

There arc many reasons for soiling
butter soon after it is made. One is
that, liesides the natural deterioration
from keeping, it is constantly losing
weight. Evajoratioii of the moisture
it contains goes on in all kinds of
weather, ami as water goes out air tills
the vacant spaces and soon makes the
butter rancia.
The destructive action of salt in ex
on vegitation is turned to account
something in destroying weeds on gar
den paths, Ac. It can also be taken
ad vantage of at times as a corrective to
the over-stimulating effects of nitrate
of soda and other manure on wheat
rops. When these are running too
much to straw an application of salt
may check this tendency and prevent
lodging. Srme of our farmers use salt
on grass lands as a compost with vegi
table matter.
An old farmer says that there is no
feed so good to keep animals in flesh
during winter as scalded oats. For
mares, cows and sheep that are to raise
young, it is superior to almost any
other" feed, as it not only puts the ani
mal in good con rl it ion to furnish milk
abundantly, but the young at birth
are strong'and active. Wheat bran is
also an excellent feed for breedinr ani
mals, given in the form of a mess.
The old fashioned dasher churn is a
liarbarion relic of tlie past. Thare is
no necessity for tugging away for an
hour in order to make the butter come.
In fact, milk is churned no longer the
cream ln-ing separated from it arid the
butter being made by compelling the
cream to fall from the top of the churn
to the lMttom, instead of plunging into
it with a dasher bored with holes.
Hence, In procuring a churn, get one
that revolves, a it will greatly lessen

is in the enjoyment of a good trade.
. II. ItAKMON
Barlier and hair-dressor is an excellent
workman. From our experience we
In-lieve he could shave the fuzz otla
lionict'a lust without waking a single
hornet. This is not tlattery.
The Narrow Oauge.
The temporary change of time in on
the narrow gauge, says the Silverton
Ajmeaf, will enable Receiver Scott to
have engines and track put in condi
tion for mail service, which will le put
on March 1. New offices will Ik? es
tablished along the road, and the con
venience thus inaugurated will prove
of great value to the narrow gauge
folks. Everylmdy is wishing the nar
row gauge sui-ecss, for already the ruth
less band of competition is felt, but
with a line by boat to Salem they are
getting their share of Salem business
by making a tli rough rate on grain to
Portland and taking it to Salem for
milling; and from th-? Portland end
they compete for Oregon City business
by' boat. This together with the ad
vent of a Sunday train for Salem und
the bright (heretofore dark) proscct
of a railway bridge ut Bay's landi. g
across the Willamette, will surely show
that there is indeed sonu thing in the
narrow gauge.
