Wo often meet with an orchard of
apparently henlthy trees, which is
practically fruitless. The owner
may tell us that it formerly bore
abundant crops, but of late years
the trees luiyo "run out." They
formerly gave good crops of apples.
All tho other land on tho farm was
expected to give but one good crop,
but this of tiie orchard was made to
glvo u crop of grain, or u crop of
grass or clover to bo taken oll'as hay.
Tho soil soon became tired of doing
this double duty. Tho trees "gavo
out" because they were robbed of
food; tho first thing they need is
feeding. Of course if the soil needs
draining, lay the needed tiles at
onco, or as soon as tho soil will al
low. Such orohardH are usually In
gr.iss; draw on n heavy dressing of
manuro and spread it, and, as soon
as the soil is in proper condition,
turn over tho sod and the niunuru
with the plow; with tho hot weather
tho sod will decay rapidly. When
this Is found to be well rotted, glvo
another plowing, and a deep one.
Tf ashes can bo had, spiead a heavy
coating and harrow; In tho absence
of ashes harrow in a good dressing
of lime. If tho trunk and larger
branches nro covered with loose
scales of old bark upon which lich
ens and mosses have a foot-hold,
scrape oil' the loobc bark, using a
blunt short-handled hoe as a scraper.
Then lit a damp time or thaw wash
tho trees with soft son), made thin
enough to apply with a brush. Ufao
home-made soft soap, made with lyo
or potash. That sold at tho stoics
ip usually merely hard soap mixed
with water and very weak and
quite inferior to tho home-made.
Mix tho soap with enough water to
work readily, go over tho seiaped
portions with It, and leave tho
spring rain to lhtlsh tho work. In
duo tlinu tho bark will bo found
beautifully wnooth and deprived ot
all foreign growth. The soap that
has been washed Into tho soil will
net na a itboful fcrtell.er. Long ne
glected trees usually require prun
ing, and this must depend upon tho
condition of tho tree. Never cut out a
branch without good reason for it.
If tho top has become crowded, cut
out enough branches to let light and
nlr Into the center; if grown ono
elded, remove tho brnnuhes needed
to restore tho balance. If largo
wounds are mndo, smooth tho sur
face and paint thorn ovorwlth some
dark-colored paint. American Ag-rlculturllst.
Now Is the time to turn it over.
Not only turn it over but gum it
down so that It will stay turned.
We aro talking now to those farm
ers (thcrrf arc too many such) who
are always growling and croaking
and looking on the dark side of
things. This is a bright world if
you will only open your eyes and
see the sunlight. No doubt you
have cares and troubles and much
to vox and worry you. So has ev
ery one. Don't let little matters
like these fret you. They are but
for a mement: how soon they will
pass away and be forgottonl Noth
ing so transient and trifling should
be allowed to disturb one's serenity.
Wo should not expect thut every
thing in this world is to be adjusted
to our liking. There will be friction
now and then of course, but the
best way is to always keep cool,
take things philosophically, and re
member that "it won't muko any
difference a hundred years from
now." So quit grumbling. Quit
It now and thereby make the new
year happier for yourself and for all
around you. American Agriculturist.
HVbTKMATlZKD l'OIiAK KXl'llOKA.
HON,
Considering tho vai lability of
drlft-lco movgii)cut in tho Arctic
sons ; It Is urged that tho easiest,
-choti post uudiuodtiprumlaiiiK method
of seeking tho North Polo Is to
despatch ovory year, for ten or
olovn years, n certain number of
well-equipped steamers, sumo ono of
which would bo enabled to hcIzo
upon the most favorable condition
of tho leu for a dash to tho extreme
north. Four routes, tiro recommend
ed, viz ; one along East Spltzlwrgon
to Fninr Josef Laud, and northward,
Starting front tho north of Norway ;
ono oast of Frame Jowjf Uind, start
ing from the Yenisei or Obi ; one
via Franz Jotwf hand, starting front
(lit) Now Hlborlan Islands or the
'Luna ; and one from a suitable spot
in lluhrliu; Strait. With an anniial
ukm1IUoii by each of theo route,
it Is believed that tho problems of
tho Polar mm would la holvtkl with
in the period of eleven years.
SAI.KM.
The city ofllcinls of Salem were
changed last night. Mayor Murphy
and one-half of the Board of Alder
men stepped down and out. And
Mayor Williams with ono-half of
tho new Board resumed their re
sponsib'e positions.
Mayor Murphy has served thcclty
very acceptably to Its citizens, and
retlicswith tho utmost confidence
of this people. Mayor Williams
upon taking his seat delivered an
Inaugural, replete within itself. It
is brief. It is to the point. It
pledges tho city, so far as his in
fluence goes, to tho support of the
spirit of enterprise already being
manifest among us. The rest of the
Board aro composed of men of en
terprise, of sagacious business quali
ties, and it may satoly bo predicted
that the year will bo tho most pros
perous Salem hits over known.
VACCINATION AN1 ANTI.VACCINA-TION.
Statistics aro against the few per
sons who Insist that vaccination is
useless and unnecessary. A com
pulsory vaccination law had
entirely driven out smallpox from
Zuiich, so that not a case octtrrcd in
1882. Tito law was repealed In 1883,
and Inovery 1000 deaths that year two
were caused by smallpox ; in 1884,
there were thrco ; In 1885, seventeen;
and in tho first quarter of 1880,
olghty-flvc. In England the deaths
from this disease In 1838-1842 were
fifty-seven, two por 100,000 living ;
but In tho ilvo years 1880-1884 tho
death-rate was only 0. 5 per 100,000.
Vaccination has not only vastly re
duced the number of victims directs
lv, but seems to hnvo had an- in
direct Influence in rendering the
od'sntlng of vaccinated parents less
liable to tho disease.
An epidemic of diphtheria hi 1884
followed tho arrival of a Hock of
turkeys In Sklatos, ono of tho Grec
ian isles where no case of tho disease
had previously been known for
thirty years. Sonto of tho turkeys
wero sick, and It Is behoved that tho
diphtheritic germs wero conveyed
from them through tho air to tho
first human victim.
Tin: bones of animals wero used
as skates and sledge-runners In pre
historic Europo, and it seems they
nro still so employed In northern
Germany. Tito sledges consist of a
board resting on tho bones of a
horse, and tho skates hnvo for run
ners tho lower jaw-bones of cattle.
Poutionh of tho Andes seem to bo
sinking, tho altitude of Quito hnv-
lng diminished seventy-six feet in
122 years, and that of nuother penk
218 feel. A crater has sunk 425 feet

Municipal Election In iVoHton.
T?jilnrnfn mill ! TTnw.tt rinUrrtrll
Tuesday, December Il'tn'r Will the;
21,000 women who have registered
go to the polls? Shall Ave elect the
school committee ticket nominated
by the committee of ono hundred,
Indorsed by tho W. C. T. U.nnil the
"Loyal Women of American Liber
ty?" These wero the thoughts of
the best citizens of Boston on the
morning of election day ; but tho
women of the "Hub" tire used to
rain ; waterproofs of all hues and
descriptions were donned, and, to
the amazement of the ward politi
cians, 17,000 women appeared at the
voting places in the various pie
clncts, the majority on foot. They
added life and piquancy to the usual
monotonous proceedings.
In every precinct there was a band
of women workers. The Boston
W. C. T. U. has been drilled and
disciplined for six years in work of
this kind, but their numbers were
re-inforced by the "Loyal Women"
whose eflorts were exclusively for
the second ticket, while tlw W. C.
T. U. worked for no-license as well,
having made earnest appeals months
ago to the women of Boston to quali
fy themselves to vote ou the school
question. Mrs. A. J. Gordon, presi
dent of tho Boston union, gave the
women printed directions In regard
to their work nt tho polls, and nt
each precinct ono of the workers had
a list of the women voters which
she checked, so that it was impossi
ble for any ono to vote twice, and
carriages were sent for delinquents.
The committee of ono hundred
organized months ago for the special
defense of the public schools, looked
sharply after the men in the same
manner. Tho Women wero at the
polls early in the morning, many
appearing with husbands or broth
ers. Tho newspaper men noted this
and commented ns follews: "In
ninny precincts almost the entire
number of registered women had
cast their ballots before noon. This
shows that tho average woman is
disposed to apply sound housekeep
ing principles to tho business of
voting, and do her work as a citizen
bright and early, so ns to havo It all
out of the way before dinner. They
handled their ballots like veteran
voters."

STAYT0N ITEMS.
W. H. Hobson is a happy man.
It is a boy this time.
Dr. W. B. Magera is still very low,
with but very Httlo hopes of recovery.
Father Wernhcr, catholic priest
at Sublimity, died rather suddouly
on Now Year's morning. He was
taken to Mt. Angel for burial.
Mix. Sarah A. Gerklu, wife of
David Gerkln, died at their resi
dence near Silver Creek Falls, on
Doc. 2.1rd, aged 52 years. This is
the wife and mother and the
seventh death Is this sadly stricken
family, within the last four years,
nil of thnt dread dlseaso consump
tion. Mrs. Mary E., wife of J. W.
Thomas, died suddenly at hor home
three miles east of hero on tho eyen"
ing of Dec. 28th, nged 48 years. Thus
passed away one of our most estima
ble ladles but little past tho prlmo
of life, leaving a husband and six
children besides numerous relatives
ami friends to iltourn her loss.
ThoO. P railroad Is still positing
ahead and the end of the track is
now within ten mllea of Drolten
bush's Fork. This Is quite u stream
and will without n doubt delay
track laying for omo weeks. This
stream was named for Louis Brelt-
oubtish, a Frenchnuiu, who was
tiro tlretto report Ha existence, lino'
hvg spent some mouths hunting and'
trapping on Its Imtiks. This was!
wutetlniu in the fifties.
Contentment does not demand
conditions, it makes them.
Their Business Booming.
Probably no ono thing has caused
a general revival of trade at Dr. H.
W. Cox's Drug Store as their giving
away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade is simply enormous in this
very valuable article from tho fact
that It always cures and never dis
appoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by get

Every bottlo warranted.

mechanics and laborers, who know
tho value of a dollar, and where to
invest it; also the refined and tal
ented people go there for their
elegant wares. The Immigrants soon
find themselves to home at the
opera house corner, for the reason
that tho Capitol Adventure Co. sell

First, They buy from first hands
in large quantities. Thoy save the

varloty suoh as are usually kept in a
first class store, The Capitol Ad
venture Co. is about tho only firm
in Salem that trie? to command the
farmers' trade by buying all their
merchantable products, find they re
tail the farmers,' products the same
prices they pay, thus saving to
tho mechanics and laborers from
ten to twenty per cent for the real
necessaries of life. Therefore the
Capitol Adventure Co. asks for tho

age. You will find them at the
Opera House corner, Court and
Liberty streets, Salem, Oregon.
