Those who visit Hickman, and fail to

rooms of Powell & Bro, miss a treat 1t
will prove instructive and interesting to
those even who do not contemplate a pur-
chase. The house is about 60xS0, and
the upper and lower rooms are used for
the display of sample farm implements
and machinery, such as Threshers from
different factories, Reapers, Mowers,
Wheat Drills, one and two horse corn
planters and drills, Sorghum Machinery.
Plows, Cultivators, &c, SC. The heavy
machinery is kept on the lower tioor,
and the lighter such rs plOws, corn shell
ers, ETC., on the upper floor. One fond of
such study could we'll pass a whole day
here, studying the different samples aud
noting the varied improvements. They
are abundantly supplied with catalogues,
circulars, and descriptive lists, setting

der any farm machine or impIemeat in n
ufaotured in the United States. through

their warehouse, and especially those

PRoDUcT OF GOLD AND SILVER IN
1o76.-A statement of the production OF
gold and silver III the States and Terrific
ries west of the Missouri has been pre-
pared, which presents some interesting
facts. The product of gold in 1876 was
81, ,32S,501, against 81, ,745, ,147 in 1875,
and of silver the product was $41, 500, ,6S2
in 1876, and $34, ,043,910 in 1915, show
in an increase of So, SIS, ,354 in gold and
Sg462, 1852, in silver. A comparison of
the figures since the year 1861 shown an
increase in gold of IS, ,430.50I, and in sill
yer of $21 ,220,G72. This result is due
mainly to the opening Of the Nevada dis
coveries. How long they may hold out and
maintain this change in therelative sup
pliess of the two metals is of course
wholly matter of conjecture. but it can
not be doubtedthat the variation of rela-
tive product that has occurred within the
last few years has largely contributed to
the late Quotations in the price of silver.

Bill Clark, a colored class-leader in
Georgia, visited brothers hen-roost, fell
and broke his neck. The pastor of his
church was terribly bothered to get his
funeral sermon in proper shape so that
brother Clark's character would not suf-
fer. He went at the job in this manner:
"There are circumstances connected with
his death that are perplexing. If, after
he fell and before he struck the ground,
he repented of his sins, there can be no
question but he is now in glory; but there
was mighty little time for him to think
about it.

OREGON has for years been troubled
with serious problem-a market for
vast herds of cattle and sheep that range
over five hundred miles of pasture be-
between the Cascades and the Rocky
Mountains. The droves are sold at such
low prices that the business of grazing
is no longer profitable. The new indust-
ry of beef canning promises to remove
trouble and open market. The meat
thus prepared, chiefly for seafaring men,
finds ready sale, the present contract
bringing fully eleven cents per pound.
All parts of the animal. including hide,
ZONES. horns, and glue material, are util-
lied, and there is no waste in the whole
business. 1t is found advantageous to
corn the meats little, which improves
the quality, and aids tho long keeping
which latter point has become very
requisite in.connection with the voyages
Of vessels whose stores must often be
carried for years, and must sustain tho
vlcissitudes of tropical climates. The
tognues and some otherchoice parts sell
at fancy figures, and the hams can be
manufactured into superior article of
dried beef. The new industry, once es-
tablished on O large scale, cannot fail to
be of great benefit to both Oregon and.
Washington.

9 HIGU M4NUR/NG.

No one will dispute the state
ment that nearly all so Is are bene
fted by the application of fertiIlz
ers, m some form and if it pays to
pu5 them in the soil to the full
extent that they will yield an in1
crease. Firstly, the limit between
the amount which makes a percep.
tible increase and the quantity
Which gives the full benefit is not
great and hence the proportionate
increase Of price is not as great as
the proportionate yield of CROP
One hundred pounds of a fertilizer
may Just begin to warm mp tract
of land, while fifty ponds more
would cause great yield, hence it
would be economy to use the one
hundred and fifty pounds at TIE
first. Again, there is the saving Of
labor as we'll as interest on invest
ment in making a smaller area
produce a much greater quantity
If field produce eight bushels of
wheat per acre without fertilizers,
and with fifty pounds cf a fertilizer
costing 3 cents per round will yield
ten bushels, or fourteen, it is econ
omy to use them. But if one
hundred and fifty POUNDS wfll
cause twenty-five bushels to be
produced then that amount is best
we use these figures merely for
illustration.
High feeding and care produce
improved herds of stock, and there
is no reason why high manuring
and high culture should not pro
duce great yields and also leave
lands improved beyond their sta
tns when the system was begun
There is of course point beyond
which manuring becomes a waste,
but it is hardly probable that any
farmer is likely to reach it.
The true course for every farmer
to adopt is to experiment. The
experience of others is good as a
guide, but difference of soil or eli
mate may make that experience of
little value or give a different re-
suit. Hence it is best that each
farmer should determine for him
self the fertilizer adapted to his
soil and crops. He may lay it
down as a fixed rule that barnyard
manure is good everywhere and ii
is not likely that he can get
enough of it to make it injurious.
AS to the commercial fertilizers, he
should try them in fields of equal
natural fertility, one field with moth
ing and another with given quan
tity, and Others with an increase
or he may Put all in the same field
in different lots. Thus he will get
an idea as to how far he may fer
tilize with profit.

CURE FOR DIPHTIIERI4.

A correspondent of Victorian pa
per writes: ''Should any of your fami-
~ be attacked with the diphtheria do
not be alarmed, as it is usually and
speedily cured without doctor.
When it was raging in England a few
years ago | accompanied DIR. Field on
his rounds to witness the so called
wonderful cures he performed while
the patients of others were dropping
on all sides. The remedy, to be so
rapid, must be simple. All he took
with him was powdered sulphur and
quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. IIe put
a teasroonful of flour of birthstone in
to wine glass of water and stirred
it with. his finger instead of q spoon.
as the sulphur does not readily
amalgate with water. When the sui
| phur was mixed he gave it as q gar
gle, and in ten I0inutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast
and plant in few minutes. Instead
of splitting out the gargle. he recon-
mended the swallowing of it. In ex-
treme cases in which he had been
called just in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the gargling. he blew the sui
phate through a quill into the throat,
and after the fungus had shrunk to al
low of it, then the gargling. He
never lost a patient from diphtheria.
elf a patient cannot garglc, take
a live coal, put it on a shovel, and
sprinkle spoonful or too of -four OF
brim stone at time upon it; let the
sufferer inlale it, holding the head
over it, and the fungus will ,lie. l:
plentifully used the whole room may
be filled almost to suffocation, and
the patient can walk about in it. in
haling the fumes, with doors and win.
dows closed. The mode of fdmi-
eating room with sulphur has Otter
cured most violent attacks of cold ir
the head. chest, etc., at any time
and is recommended in cases of con
sumption and asthma"
