FIaxseed for Stock.

From all accounts, the amount of flax
seed sown this season is unusually large.
In many places where the prospect for
crop of fall-sown wheat was poor, the
ground was plowed up quite early in the
spring and sown to flax. In some parts
of the West, farmers SOW flax on newly
turned sod for the purpose of preparing
the ground for crop of wheat the fol-
lowing year. 1t requires less labor to
SOW and harvest crop of flax than to
plant and gather crop of corn, and
many state that the ground is in better
condition after the flax than the corn.
Sod corn is not salable, but faxseed al
ways finds ready market. The expense
of marketing flaxseed is less than for any
crop that can be raised on the same
amount of land. 1t is generally worth
more per bushel than any kind of grain,
and it is manufactured in the West in
stead of in the East. In many sections
the manufacturers of linseed oil furnish
seed to homesteaders and other poor
farmers with view of securing their
crop when harvested. The manufacture
of this oil is very profitable, as the oil
cake sells for more than half the sum
paid for the seed from which it is made.
Nearly all of it goes to Great Britain,
where its value for feeding to all kinds
of stock is better appreciated than in
this country. But little use is made OF
oil-cake or of ground faxseed in the
United States, except to feed to calves
and milch COWS that are in poor condi-
ton in the spring. Few have employed
either of them as a part of the regular
diet for stock, or for the purpose of pre-
pairing animals for the butcher. There
is no necessity for extracting the oil from
tlaxseed before feeding it to stock. In
fact, the oil it contains is the most valu-
able portion of it. Pure ground flax
seed, when fed alone, is too rich, but
if mixed with meal, bran or shorts it is
excellent for all kinds of stock. An ex.
perienced feeder recommends mixing
one bushel of faxseed with seven of corn
and the same number of oats and grind
ing them together. There is no better
feed for calves "brought up by hand''
than boiled faxseed and SKINNED milk.
1t is the best substitute for fresh milk.
A small amount of flaxseed should be fed
at first, but the amount can be increased
to pound day by the time the calves
are month old.-Chicago Times.

A Place for Everything and Everything
in Its Place.

Experience shows us that unless the
habit of being orderly is cultivated in
youth it never will be ours in mature
years. The disorderly girl may be sub
ject to spasmodic fits of tidiness, and at
such times her closets, bureau drawers
and boxes will be put in order, but as
these attack are but temporary they are
soon over and the old way fallen into
again. Such a girl may be good and
clever in many respects, but her want
of order and system, besides being an
inconvenience to herself, will also be,
more or less, trial to those about her.
Girlhood is the time when habits are
formed, and if an impulse to be orderly
is followed then, it will grow upon us
until it will become second nature, and
disorder will be q pain to us.
If, however, during these years we are
careless, put things in their proper
places if it is convenient, and if not
leave them around for some member of
the household to pick up and put away
for us, we are doing ourselves an injury
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-07-02
which. if not APPARENT now, will be when

which, if not apparent now, will be when
we have reached womanhood.
Some girls make their things last so
much longer than others, and we won
der sometimes by what magic they can
be worn so long without looking shabby.
The reason is, that they take good care
of them. Their dresses are brushed
carefully and the slightest spot upon
them removed before hanging them
away, ribbons and laces are folded and
laid away with care, gloves are mended
when the tiniest hole shows itself, but
ton lost from a shoe is restored immedi-
ately, and "the stitch in time" keeps
many wardrobe looking fresh and new,
which otherwise would become old and
worn out if neglected from time to time.
Girls! don't give way to self-indulgence
and laziness in regard to your own per-
sonal belongings. If you have a desire
to leave things around, or to put off
mending a garment, because you don't
feel like being tidy at the time, or in a
mood for mending, don't yield to it,
for every time you do you are strength
ening the impulse to be disorderly, and
are taking the steps that will influence
your character for the whole of your fu-
ture life.-ChriStia9 al Work.

Maintaining Meadows.

As a general thing, with land that
is capable of fair tillage, 1 would not
leave any one seeding to lie more than
two or three years before breaking and
tilling, so as 60 thoroughly overhaul the
land, and then reseed it, giving it a
change of crops and change of condi-
ton which well agrees with almost any
soil. But it is often the case, from one
cause or another, that the farmer would
prefer to let certain fields go to grass
year after year, if its fertility and pro-
ductiveness could be maintained. And
it can be without any more outlay for
manure than we would think necessary
to apply to the same land if we were
aiming to get from it good crop of al
most anything else. The trouble gen.
orally is that we think the grass ground
can run itself, and the result is it runs
itself out usually before we really bestir
ourselves to do anything for it. But by
applying manure judiciously to grass
ground it will be likely to show better
results than when used anywhere else on
the farm. should prefer to apply ma
nure to any grass land in the fall, and
at any time during the winter, but if de-
ferred until early spring, use finer and
better manure and more of it, and after
spreading evenly as possible, drag once
over it, then apply light seeding of
grass seeds and drag once or twice
more, which will probably give very
satisfactory results the same year. But
for the future treatment apply the ma
nure in the fall and winter, never mind
ing whether it be fine or coarse, only if
it is lumpy cuff them out with an old
fork, so as to get it even over the sur
face, and if ever so coarse and strong, it
will all settle to the ground, out of the
way of moving, and help wonderfully
in keeping the ground moist and in fa-
vorable condition for the grass crop. 1t
will be found most practical to apply
this treatment on clayey and stubborn
soils.-Henru ICES, in N. Y. Tribune.

Destroying Tree Growth.

Ne observe much discussion in some
o. the papers on the various operations
OF pruning, cutting back, cutting up and
grubbing out, in which no distinction is
made between dormant and growing
condition of the trees or shrubs operated
on. One inquirer asks for method for
getting rid of an Usage hedge, set where
it is not wanted. The answer is, cut it
off even with the surface of the ground.
If done when the hedge is dormant, the
result would be a profuse sprouting up
from the stumps or roots; but if per-
formed while in rapidly growing state,
a 50 we're check would be given, requir-
ing little repetition of the operation. For
the same reason, if we wish to promote
the growth of young hedge, cut it back
when not in leaf; but if making an over
growth which requires checking, cut it
at midsummer. Bad mistakes are made
by deferring the shortening back OF
young rr newly transplanted trees until
the buds have opened; in doing which
such trees as the cherry, which do not
reproduce shoots freely, have been &C.
tually killed by the operation. Rene
dies are sometimes prescribed to pre-
vent or remove the suckers which spring
up around fruit or ornamental trees by
digging them out. If the removal is
done early in spring, before growth has
commenced, there will be plenty tc
spring up and take their places; but in
June or July, little trouble from new
suckers will be the result, and few repe.
titions Of the work will be needed. we
have before urged the Importance of this
distinction, but many seem slow in re.
ceivlng and approaching it. On ole
trees it is less essential than on younger
ones.-Country Gentleman.

A PERILOUS RIDE.
The PeriIous Ride Of Party OF ERgi
neerS Down the Columbia River.

~lstIAsafu- l1lu-
On Tuesday last, Mr.. Henry
Thielson, assistant engineer of the
railroad division of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company,
with a party of four men, left the
mouth of the John DAYS river for
the pupose Of going down to Cell
10. ShSrtly after starting a dense
fog appeared on the river which
rendered it impossible for the men
in the boat to distinguish the shore
line, and the increased swiftness
OF the current of the river carried
the boat along at a speed not real
lied by the occupants until the
harsh. dull roar of the water as it
dashed over the head of the cas-
cades below Cello was heard, and
an awful fate seemed inevitable.
1t was useless to endeayer TO
bring the boat out of the whirling
eddies that now cncircled it and
the rushing waters seemed To be
but PLAYING with the frail bark, as
every moment II was drawn near
er and nearer 10 an almost certain
doom, while the wild roaring Of
the waters as thev dashed down
into the seething abyss below
seemed TO hiss and sputter and
laugh in a perfect carnival of terror
as the terrified inmates Of the
boat approached the fatal spot.
Like a flash. the boat suddenly
darted out of the eddy straight to
the f2ll-One minute and the boat
would be dashed 10 pieces, but as
if guided by the hands of Provi-
dence. the boat caught on a sunk
en- rock just on the verge of the
fall, and wing there swinging with
the motion OF the waters, but leav-
ing the men pOwerless, facing
death, and while saved from II still
unable TO escape. Ii was at this
moment that a new danger, and
one that made the certainty Of be-
ing carried over the falls inevitable
now presented itself. Coming
down the river and almost on top
of the boat was discovered an in-
mense foe of ice. The almost Ger
tainty of q death either by being
carried over the rocks or else
crushed to pieces IN the ice was
only left TO choose, and before the
engineer and his party conld real
ize it the ice was upon them, and
one immense cake had shot under
the boat, lifted II over the sunken
rock, and ice, boat and men were
carried over the falls down into the
basin below and not a soul injured.
IL was a fearful experience, an
event that not one Of the party will
never forget though they live to be
numbered with the centenariaas of
future years. Once in the basin
below, the party went to the shore
and reached their destination by
overland route.

TWELVE YEARS AGO.
Netes OF a Trip TO Astoria in 1865.
Columbian.

Columbian
We passed ON to Astoria, arriv-
ing there Just before dusk. We
were delighted with the improve
ments gained during the two years
we had beer absent. Here was a
splendid hotel built by Captain
Flavel, and rented by Arrigoni as
sUon as completed, going up close
at hand. \ short distance off were
two churches and an elegant hall
built by the friends of progress.
The streets are very much i'm
proved, and everything about the
place looks thrifty. The town evi-
IDENTITY has a healthy growth. The
community is mnch excited here
as elsewhere OH the subject of rail
roads. There Is 4 railroad company
10 build a railroad from Astoria to
Salem already Incorporated.
There has been an exploration and
survey of it as far as Forest Grove
in Washington county. It's found
every wav practicable. The dis
tance from Astoria to Forest Grove
on a straight line is fifty miles,
and less than hundred miles from
Astoria to Salem. The route
strikes the valley of the Nehalem
river about fourteen miles frsm
Astoria, and follows the valley of
that river about twenty miles to
where it interlocks with the Tuala
tin river. There is no portion of
the whole route that will require
over sixty feet of rise to the mile
The people of Astoria are very
sanguine of accomplishing the
work in the next few years. The
Nehalem valley is from three to
six miles wide, affording some OF
the richest and best land vet to be
settled near the coast, and IS said
to abound with groves OF the
finest timber. We must close,
but will write more next week re-
specting this thriving place. We
must not forget to mention the
Astoria hotel, kept by the Megler
Brothers. Ii is frst-class house
and everyone that goes there once
will go again. May their shadows
never grow tess.
