Blaine and Alger are said to be woikiug lu double harness for 1892. The Canadian election was not a decided victory for reciprocity with the states. There is a great scarcity of small coin ard fractional paper curieuoy. Larger denominations are not any too plenty. "The people who pay the burden of taxation the toiling masses should govern." Athena Pi ess. But do they? Do not tho business men, land owners and capitalists pay tho butden of taxes? How is this? The Athena Press does not believe hi commissions, but wants tho Ore gon raihoad commission sustained. It says: "Whether the commission was a wise creation or not, and wo think not, does not matter now. Since It is a born child tho people must protect and guide it carefully. A complicated means of hiding jus tico fmni the people is tho rule of the day and wo must keep an eye on the power and get as much bene (it out of it as possible. Ii lies in the discretion of the commission to lower freight rates and thus in a measuro perform tho duties of tho legislative assembly." FAIJM .NOTES. Early peas should bo very thinly covered an eighth of an inch or not at all if tlio ground is line or loose, or they will rot iu tho ground anil not come up. W. N. Rub'lo of Salem claimes to have dlseoveled a new fruit pest remedy . Ho believos that pests of every denomination teed upon the sap of trees, and that by introducing a substance in tho tree that the pcsU do not like they will leave tho tree. Ho claims to have discovered a sub stance that will do tills and not in jure the tree nor tlio fruit. Tho editor of tho Portland Rural Spirit lias a poor opinion of some Oregon agriculturists: Wo have now published the Rural Spirit twelve years, and as an old metho- dist used to say when commencing to speak lu class meeting, "Its with shame, I must confess," wo have never met with half a dozen native Oregouians that know any more about agrlculturo than our cat does about Sunday. Portland Rural spirit: Jl every cow iu tlio North Pacific that is bo- ing kept for dairy purposes could bo bred for two consecutive years to a No. 1 Jersey bull, and allowing that half tho ofl'sprlng would come fe males, and that their mothers were turned into Iref as fast as their daughters became milkers, the but ter yield would be more than double what it is now. TKANSPIiANTINCI TltlllS. It Is a common opinion that when 103 trees are i-et out, a loss of a por tion is inevitable. This Is a great mistake. Not ouo need be lost. Some years ago wo witnessed the, setting out of 1,700 pear trees. Two years afterward the planter called on the nurseryman to Inform him that all lived but three. Ho ordered 1000 more, and siilwqueiitly Informed the uurceryman that every one was not only living but ginwlug with vigor. The common trouble lu hur ried and suporliulal work, and tho planter says to himself, "I gue i these trees or mot of Iheni, will grow." If the work Is done as It should be, he will f A confident that every one will grow. American Cultivator. THK IMI'HOVKDHMJ At a Now York farmer's Institute a Mr. I1. Van Alstyno, of Kinder hook made an address on the silo. Ho said that years ago he was not favorably iuolhiud to the silo, but he had boa 1 1 converted from the error of his way. Tim whole system for constructing slloea and growing crops for the silo htm boon revolutionised since sllotw beuan to bo usqd. In tho early days of si low corn grown for ensilage was sown thickly, three or four bushels of sod to the acre. The produot had no oars and was mostly woody fiber and water, the latter forming 86 Hr cent. Huch food soon bueume sour and worthletM. ICnslluge u now grown on selentlfle principle from need planted lu rows thrtrttto threw and a half feet apart, and 8Jnehw a put lu the row, taking about if quarts of seed to the aere. Huch ohIu.k makiM an al most (mm-AmjI food, if projerly hooured and (tut into thetrflo, m Hourly uvry utoek bos upon It one or inoreeurx. Properly culdvattxl and harvested, oueacrebbould produce from 10 to 20 tous. Ono aero of eusllago is worth as much for feedlug purposes as llvo acres of haw It not only gives a larger amount of food, but better food. It gives tho cow sucu lent food at a tlmo of year when sho cannot get it elsewhere It la a food which comes tho nearest of any to tho cow's natural food--grass. By making corn Into ensilage, tho ex pense of hushing, shelling nud grinding is saved, and tho food Is iu better shape for tho cow to assimi late. As for varieties of corn, Mr. Van Alstyne said he has had best results from the Learning aud tho Prldo of tho North Ho recommended culti vating tho corn soou after it was plauted and to keep It up uutil tho corn Is two or threo fet high. Don't cultivate too deeply, as It will cut ofl tho corn roots, nud discourage its growth. Tho corn should bo cut Just as the ears begin to glaze. It may be put Into the silo whole or cut Into short piece-. It Is more easily han dled iu tho latter way. Tho silo can bo cheaply constructed iu tho bay of tho barn, aud no expensive materials are required. Ho admonished farmers that ensilage should not bo fed alone, nor fed to cattle that aro to bo turned out to shiver in a zero atmosphere. NO H0M,OV HOllN. There is no such disease known as hollowdioin. All horns aro hollow naturally, and tho hollow extends down into tho head (frontal sinuses) nud communicates with tho nose. Tho old practice of boring holes inta them with n gimlet nud pouring In turpentine aud other caustic drugs, and drenching of the ear, aro tho most cruelly barbarous practices lui ngluable, aud cannot bs too strongly condemned. When an nnim:l Is sick, look farther for tho trouble, for it certainly Is uot in tho horn. HOW DKAINAGn OKintATKS. By lessening tho evaporation and opening tho sol! to admit tho air and tlio warm rains Iu placo of tho cold standing water, tho temperature of the laud is raised. It equalizes tho temperature aud prevents sudden changes of heat and cold. It renders tho soil drier and wnrmor earllr In tho spring and later In tho fall, thus greatly prolonging tho planting and growing season. Iu dry seasons tho soil Is moistened by tlio condensation from the air, admitted Into it uot only from above but through tho drains beneath. Tho soil being thus mado more open and mellow, tho roots penotrato further and got more nutriment, Tho open, dry soil absorbs miasmatic ga.es which en rich tho soil and purify tho nlr, thus Increasing wealth nud health. Foot rot and other diseases of animals de crease. Grasses improve in kinds, quality and quantity, the liner and richer superseding tho coarse, sour kinds. Tlio greenness is also made more enduring vi tlio season of act ive growth Is prolonged. Exchango. Tin: am.iangi:. Discussing tho alllanco 0, P. Mason says lu tho Pacific Farmer: Tho farmer has done too much manual labor aud too little head work. He has not used his brains enough and has used his hands too much; ho has tried to go alone when ho should have hud the help of his neighbor; ho has st od aloof and been too easily cont uted. Ho has stood quietly by while ho saw his antagonists combine for his destrue tion nud felt that ho was powerless to stop the robbery. Rut a new era has dawned upon him, ho sees that lu union there is strength, protec tion, wealth, happiness aud prosper ity; he has determined to assert his rights aud his supremacy, and will come out of the battle victoriously. OUKflON I'UUJT JNTKIUMTH. A California exchange says: Ore gon hrs a mogulflcuut climate and soils for all hardy aud rx-ml-liardy fruits, She has not progrea ed so rapidly as California lu fruit culture for want of a market. California attained trauscoiitlnoual connection more than a scorn of years earlier thau Oregon. This uavy tho dry state a long start ahead iu fruit cul ture; but now, as a matter of fact, Oregon Is the better fixed of tho two iu having competing linns of rail road ncross the hills aud prairies. The same may also be said of Wash ington, Therefore those great states are beginning to "make a fuss" In fruit production, and they are going to keep It .up, aud rightly, too, for they have got that great northern world, swept by blizzards, to supply with fruits. It Is a country of vast extent, which will noon bo teeming with million- ofpeoplc,illving whore fruits cannot grow, but where "stufP' with vvhleh to exchango for fruits can tat; ami ixsutes, moy nave a cool, northern, direct route by which they (tan ship Kast.

New Haven, Mar. 12.-Tho French Roman Catholic in this city ajo horrified nt what thoy con sldor tho punishment visited upon a blasphemer, who was stricken dumb while. cursing tho,;Cuthollo church aud all counco'd wlthllt. Row Father La Crosse camo hero recently from Montreal, and revival) Borylcea followed his advent in this oily. At ono of the xj meetings tho priest urged his hearers to endeavor to reclaim nil whom thoy had known as members of the church, but who bad become ludlfloront to religion. With this cud in vlow tho congre gation called upon many of their own nationality, and special oflorts wore mado to reclaim Louis Lcmay, of 110 James str.jt. Several .self constituted missionaries Bought Lemay at his rooms yesterday, and with prayers aud supplications be sought him to turn from his present wnys nud find consolation within tho portals of tho church.

Tlio settlement of tho Retiring sen mat ter, as foreshadowed in the corres pondence between tho United States and tho British government, is not a settlement iu tlio opinion of the treasury department olllclals. The fact that the Issue of permits to ves sels to crulso iu Ueh ring sea Is not prohibited during tho pendoncy of negotiations this summer, Is pointed out as almost futal to United States Interests lu those matters. Advice received at the treasury department Indicate a more general onslaught on tlio seal fisheries thU spring and Biimmor than over before. There are now fitting out at Victoria, B. 0., twenty vessels, which will Infest the waters about the seal islands. At Sau Francisco twenty v carols aro being made ready for sea, bound for tlio Islands of Lt, Paul and St, George. In tlio language of gov ernment ofllcluls, "when tho poud Ing controversy as to jurisdiction lu Bohrlng so- Is settled, there will be nothing to settle; that is, all tho seals will have been destroyed." llKIIHINO BEA AGAIN. Wabiunoton, Mar. J2.-It Is ataU ed that, if Lord Salisbury nud Mr. Blaine should ever agree to arbitrate the question whether the United States may not t.tsert an extraordi nary Jurisdiction over tho seal fishery by reason of its ownership of th breeding islands, the European. cM nets would probably and promptly signify their Inteution uot tc- regard the arbitration as a uettlemut of such a question, however it might result. The practical consequence of Lord Salisbury's latest dispatch appsn to bo that Mr. Blaine will have to make a further retreat thau be ef fected by bis note of Doct'twber to
