METHODS OF FIRMING.
There are many way of mtinR
ging a farm. Every man is if
course expected to have wnya oi
his own. His individuality may
show itslf iu the construction oi
hiii house and barns, in tha breed
of his stock, in his personal ap
pearance, style of dress, etc.
Those things, unless indulged to
extremes, effects not his prosperity.
There are other matters, however,
which concern his gettingaloug in
the world which will admit of lit
tle attitude.
A good farmer will take care
of" property. His buildings are
kept iu good repair. There are no
barn doors off the hinges, no shin
gls off the roof. His gates are in
gosd condition with proper fastan-
ingB. He doas not climb over the
fence, because it is easier than to
open & gate. His plow3, mowsrs,
reapers, rakes and barrows are put
under a shelter when he is through
with them. His wagons are under
cover. His buggy, if he has one,
is iii a carriage-house, clean aud
ready for a trip. The harness is
hung upon a peg, also brushed
cluan. The carriage robe is put
away from the dust.
The straw of last threshiug is
nicely stacked to carry his stock
through iu case of a hard winter.
His fences ara all iu a good condi
tion, and do not encourage a hun
gry auiraal to try to break them.
His orchard is well dressed out.
Thepruuings from his orchard and
vineyard are piled out of the way.
His woodpile is under cover. His
auirnals liava comfortable quarters.
When Sunday comes he cau take
his wife and children to church or
to see his neighboring farmers.
There is nn air of respoetability
about his neatly dressed children,
his tidy wife, his contented looking
horses. All things point to his bu-
53.1 fiivmr, a respect-abb,
substantial man.
The poor farmer shows his want
of method quite as decidedly as
iocs the good farmer hb thrift aud
tnke-cnro-of things. Tha poor
rmor has boards off his barn aud
sheds; shingles off the roof, and
lours off the hinges. His feucea
being out of repair, his cattle aro
tempted to reach over to "get
a bite," breaking them down still
worse. He has no gates, or if ho
has any they aro nailed up, be
cause n is easier to climrj a fence
than to fix up the gate every time
he goes through. When he moves
from field to field he must take
diwn and put up the fence; he has
no time to make a gats. His wag
on is left under an oak tree for the
cattle to rub against, and the
chickens to roost on. He has no
place to store anything. His plows
and other agricultural tools are ei
ther left in tha field where he us
ed them last, or they are sot
against the bara to be out of the
way. He has no woodpile but oc
casionally throws a chunk or two
into his wagon as he returns from
town. His wife and daughters
often have to hack off wood enough
to get supper "against he comes
home." He is always behind
about his work and alwaws in a
hurry. He sows hi3 grain after oth
er people's is several inches high.
His plow are dull; his horses thin,
and his grain getting badly put in,
he has only half a crop, which he
ii obligsd to sail as eojn as it is
threshed, to pay bills. Ha did uot
get time to prune his orchard or
thin out his fruit, so ho could
get nothing for it. His hogs are
of tho l izorback-breed and will
crawl through a crack of the fence
or go between the pickets. He
don't have good luck raising cattle
or horses. " Tears like his luck
was agin him." He is tired of the
farm. His sons want to go to the
city. His daughters want to learn
a trade, dress making or tailoring.
His wife looks dragged out as
though bhe would welcome death
as a day of rest. Nothing about
him looks respectable. The cattle,
horses aud ho23 all have an inhos
pitable, unsatibfied look.
wag his til years ago. All look
dilapidated and discouraged, and
all because their master never
learned to take care of things. S.

HAFPY HEPPNER.
For some tiina past the citizens
of tha prosperous town of Heppner
which is located on Willow creek,
Morrow county, 199 miles south
east of Portland, Iihto desired rail
road connection iu order that they
might market their wool, grain
and cattle. This city is "located
iu the center of Morrow county,
has splendid water power and oth
er natural advantages.
The citizens have been negotia
ting with tho O. R. & N. Company
for moutli3 past, endeavoriug to in
duce the company to build a branch
to their prosperous town. Sever
al days siuce manager V. II. Hol
eonib, managor of the O. R. & N.,
who recently thoroughly inspected
the country iu about Hoppner,
sent a letter to that town, asking
that a delegation ba sont to have
a talk with him concerning the pro
posed line. At a meeting of
Heppner oitizsns the following
committee was appointed to come
to Portland to confer with Mana
ger Holoomb: Colonel J. L. Mor
row, C. A. Ilhaa, Henry Elack
man, Frank Kellogg, Thoj. Ayers
and William Penland.
This committee arrived in Port
laud and had a conference with
Manager Holcouib on Saturday.
Mr. Hjlcomb said tha company
stood ready to build the road pro
vided right away and depot facili
were secured for them.
The committee repliod that they
were satisfied that what he asked
for could be secured for tha rail
way company.
When questioned by the oommit
tee as to timo, Manager Holcomb
i said there wero two routes. One
was from C.istla Rock, on the O.
R. & N. main line, by which routo
the branch will ba forty miles in
length; the other was from Wilows
station, and will run along Willow
creek a distance of forty-five miles
to Heppner. It would take about
two weeks to decide which route
would be followed." Then if the
citizens of Morrow would carry
out their agreement the 0. R. & N.
Co. would sign an agreement to
to complete the road by the first
of January, 1889. This would be
iu ample time to haul the present
voars crop, i no interview turn
terminated.
The committee expressed thom
sclves'aa being highly satisfied
with the result of their talk with
Manager Holcomb, and now feel
confident that Heppner will uot
now be long without railroad con
nection. The 0. R. & K Co., it is report
ed, will construct 150 miles of road
during the coming season. Port-

SIX MARRIED MEN.
At this juncture the coroner de
eired to show the jury tho direct
ion taken by the ball, aud for this
purpose produced the corset worn
by Mrs. Burkhart at the time of
the tragedy. "You see," said he,
and here he drew tho corset around
his waist with the lace in front,
"the ball must have gone in from
behind. No, that can't be, either,
for the doctor says the ball weut
in in front. Confound it, I've got
it on wrong. Ah! this way."
(Here the coroner put tha cornet
on up3i le down.) "Now, you see
(pointing to the hole in the gar
ment, which rested over his hip),
the ball must have gone in here.
No, that can't be, either -"
Here Mr. Mathers, the handsome
man of the jury, spoke. "Dr. Still
man," said he, "you've got that
corset on wrong." Here Dr. Still
man blushed like a peony. "Well,"
said he , I've been married twice,
and I ought to know how to rig a

birds are usually in pairs, although

and in some localities they are re

During the cold weather, whea
snow was on the ground, these
pheasants were not at all backward
in taking a place in the bar u yards
along with domestic fowl, and ev
en contesting with them for the
supremacy. From a Lane county
farmer comes the story that a 000k
pheasant persisted in remaining
among the chickens oa the place
after the snow had gone, but in

the recognized gallinaoean leader,
and a number of bitter fights took

difficulty was ended one morning
by the pheasant striking his antag
