of rowing match for the silver cup, be-
tween the Oregonian and Bulletin crews,
cane off in front of the city. The dis.

was the hour designated for the boats to
start. Mr.. A. B. Hallock adted asrefer--
ee and judge. At the hour appointed
the Oreoonian crew was in their boat and
ready for the contest. but for some rea

pointed hour. and no alternative was
left the Oregonian crew to row over the
course and take the cup. Precisely at
3 o'clock the boat started for the foot
of Ross Island manned by the following
crew: CHI. Hill, bow; W. G.. Chance,
Fred Waterman, W. J. Bowden, stroke

though the election takes place

1t seems that housekeepers are all
wrong in using soap to wash dishes.
The right way to do is to have your
water quite hot, and add very little
milk to it. This softens the water,
gives the dishes a fine gloss and pre-
serves the hands; it removes the
grease, even that from beef, and yet
no grease is ever found floating on
the water as when soap is used. The
stone vessels should be set on the
stove with a little water in them,
when the victuals are taken from
them; thus they are hot when one is
ready to wash them, and the grease
is easily removed. Tlnware keeps
bright longer when cleansed in this
way than by using soap or by scour-
ing. The habit SO many of us have
acquired of securing tins is waste
full policy; the present style Of tin
ware will not bear it. The tin is
soon scrubbed away, and vessel
that is fit for nothing is left on our
hands.-Mter- Ocean.

Of course we can drive the oxen
home, we told the farmer. The idea
of doubling our ability, when we
have seen them handled, every day,
for the past month! He handed over
the long whip and started them, we
taking the proper position in front.
1t was easy enough, though rather
monotonous, till we met a team COM
ing the other way; then we "geed"
those oxen into a ditch, and, running
against a tree, came to stand-still.
We received pleasant smile from
the teamster, as we had given him
the whole road. But there we were.
We hollered "gee," haw," and
"back" till our threats felt rough
We couldn't get ahead un.ess we
borrowed an AK and cut the tree
down, and when we tried to back
them, they spread out from the pole,
and stood face to face, nearly choking
themselves. Then our patience gave
out; we kicked the near one in the
ribs; we playfully retorted by switch
ing us across the face with his flydis-
perser. We lit pipe and pulled
smoke into their nostrils. This was
a happy thought; they sneezed over
us and backed, but forgot to stop till
they got stone-wall between them.
We went home to borrow steam
derrick, but before the arrangements
were made the oxen came in view
and calmly stopped in front of the
barn. You may think there is moth
ing human in an OK, but we are will
ing to swear that both winked when
they saw us, and one had a positive
grin on his face. We refrain from
expressing our opinion of oxen.-N

Fall Planting.

The question is often asked, when
is the best time to liant fruit trees
We answer that upon all soils suita-
BILE for an orchard the fall is the best
time. The fall is a season OF COM
parative leisure with the farmer and
ample time is afforded him to prepare
the work in the most perfect manner.
In the spring thousand chs are
pressing upon the farmer, all de-
handing his immediate attention, and
the orchard is usually deferred to the
last, when every other crop would
suffer less by the delay.
II tree is planted in the fall the
earth becomes firmly settled around
the roots before spring, and if the
weather should prove, as it frequently
does, warm in February and March,
young roots will be formed often
three inches long /; and if the plant
ing is delayed until spring, after these
roots have put out, they are broken
off and lost in the act of removal
from the nursery, and consequently
so much of the vital energy of the
tree is lost in the effort of nature to
repair the injury.
If planting is delayed until spring
it is almost always put off until a
late period after the buds have con-
siderably swelled and many of the
fibrous roots have put out these then
become dried and many Of them are
lost, and the dry weather that fire.
quently follows causes the death Of
thousand of trees annually.
In fall planting, if the soil is dry
and porous, as it should be, the
ground around the tree may be left
level ; but if the subsoil Is of a wet,
retentive character, the earth should
be raised two or three inches around
the trunk of the tree, to the full di-
ameter of the hole, In order to turn
the excess of water from the roots.
Trees should not be semoved from
the nursery until sufficient frost has
occurred to entirely suspend vegeta-
ton and the leaves have mostly fall
len.-RuruL World.
