It's main trunk, but extends no time for

constructed on the south side of the
Columbia river, from Umatilla to Port

at 81 SO per acre. Homesteaders are
to be protected in their homestead

shown the results of growing turnips
three years in succession, in the same
field and without manure. In the first
year the yield of roots was 1888 pounds,
in the second year, 4, 1856 pounds and in
the third year, 1886 pounds. The re-
suits of applying yearly twelve tons OF
farm-yard manure on the same land were
as follows: The first years crop
amounted to 81 ,223 pounds; the second
years crop increased to "a, lO8 pounds,
while in the third year crop of 38, l76
pounds of roots were obtained. In these
experiments the beneficial influence OF
the farm yard manure is clearly evident

want OF skill and untoward seasons breaks
IN on his plans and he goes out at the
little end of the horn, proclaiming that
farming is not the thing it is cracked up
to be, and his property goes into the
hands of receiver. In the meantime
another starts with the same means, but
on another principle he hires with a
good farmer and puts his money at
interest. In few years he has learned
the business and made wages, and his
money worked for him. When he
commenced he had the means and
experiences. Experience is a good teacher
and industry usually thrives with them
success is inevitable. Work will secure
living, not only in farming. but in
everything else. The reason some men
are more successful than others in bust
ness Is greater mental capacity. They
can plan better and use their means 10
greater advantage. While one makes
and saves, another squanders. To make
living should be the first consideration.
In trying to do it, and to become indie
pendent, there Is necessity for economy
In its brOadest sense. Fortunes seldom
come at once, but by degrees. If many
fail, all need not. None should ever be
satisfied with less than a living. The
foundation of independence is effort, and
the bread man earns il sweet His
situation is UNNECESSARILY above the
loafer. Everyone is willing to assist him
who makes living. The world is wide
enough for everyone to flourish in. Some
places are so crowded that work cannot
be obtained for all. Perhaps some ten or
twenty miles of, labor is in demand. All
know more or less labor is required
everywhere in the old states or new.
A lazy fellow is characterized by the
saying OF the fellow: =" Looking for work
and prayidg at the same time not to find

Saving Grnss seed.

The American Farmer for February
says:
Many of our best farmers SOW this
month on the snow, which, melting, car
ries the seed down into the crevices and
fissures in the earth below. An advau~
tsge of this plan is the regularity secured
in the distribution of the seed. III not
sown in this way, it is preferable to wait
until the frost is out OF the ground then
SOW and harrow in with a light harrow,
and roll. This narrowing and rolling
will not only cover the seed, but also
improve the wheat. And roots torn up
by the harrow will be pressed back into
the earth by the roller. and they generally
take Tost again. On most soils, when
sown alone, twelve pounds of seed to the
acre is about the right quantity-though
probably more, say sixteen pounds,
would be better. Generally a bushel Is
made suffice for six or eight acres.
Orchard grass is becoming more and
more appreciated. When sown on the
same fields with clover, the usual pro-
portions are bushel of orchard grass to
ten pounds of clover seed. 1t is prefer.
able to wait to SOW till later in the season
when the ground may be narrowed if
both are to be used. Then it is better to
SOW the clover first and afterwards the
grass seed, halving the latter and sowing
in two directions; the harrow and the
roller following, as recommended for
clover alone.
When orchard grass is sOwn by itsel:
thick seeding is necessary to avoid the
formation of stools. Two bushels is not
too much for 6n acre. The earliness OF
this grass in spring, its ability to endure
droughts, its nutritious qualities, its
heavy yield OF forage, and its permanence,
all unite to make it esteemed as one OF
the most useful of our forage plants.

The Uncertain Future Of Cotton.

So far as the amount of cotton in sight
and likely to come forward is concerned.
however, we think there has been a
pretty general tendency to admit that,
so far as deductions can be drawn from
figures already shown, there will be
enough to dissipate the idea of a short
crop, and the most sanguine adhere to
the belief of an excess over last year, and
the turn of speculation, therefore. is
more upon the probabilities regarding
the disposition OF the product. This, as
a matter of course, is dependent to a
large extent upon the condition of affairs
in Europe, and the influence of foreign
advices is of s more general and pro-
nounced character than q couple of
weeks ago. The developments of the
past week have in many respects changed
the attitude of the leading governments
toward each other, and especially those
which are in the ordinary course of
events the most liberal consumers of
cotton, and the Issue of war or peace
becomes a pivot upon which operations
will no doubt turn until the existing
political muddle commences to cleSr up
somewhat. Opinions among the trade
upon the subject are as numerous and
contradictory as the dispatches daily
coming to hand by cable, but none strong
enough to lead 10 tree operations. and
few new deals have been made on
contracts based upon either a quiet
settlement of existing difficulties or a
reopening of hostilities ia a new and
more serious form. Should peace prevail,
an upward turn of values is OF c0urse
to De expected, but great many of our
leading dealers still adhere to the belief
that the improvement viii only be
temporary, especially should the furry
caIrya large advance, on the theory that
the consuming countries are unable to
handle any but cheap cotton, and then
only en- the handle mouth method

Aehing Henfs ana Uneasy nerves

Are often soothed by Hosteter's Stomach Bit
tiers, because that searching corrective COM
pIetely removes the causes of brain and nerve
excitement, which are to be found in de-
rangement of the stomach, and of is 1850
ciate organs, the liver and bowels. It is a
truth which cannot be too earnestly insisted
upon, that the effect of mere sedatiVes and
narcotics, like bromide of potassium, val
erian, chloral hydrate and opium, is less ap-
preciable the longer they are used, and that
they can never permanently relieve nervous
excitability, because they cannot remedy the
weakness and organic arrangement which
lies at its roots. HOstetter's Bitters, however,
can and does cure nervous maladies, for the
reason already stated. Sick headache, rest
Iessness at night, vertigo, mental heaViness,
and depression of spirits, as well as the dys'
peptlc condition of the stomach, and tOrpidity
of the liver and bowels, which give rise to
them, are entirely Obviated by this benign
