We know such an instance, not for a
single field, or an acre, nor for year,
but as a practice, and on large scale,
Joel Champion, of Strakville, Her
kimer county, N. Y, has practiced this
for many years-say eight or ten ;
eight, I believe, is the number he told
me. This is putting it on thick, it will
be said, and so it is.
"Mr. Champion throws away seed"
it is said. and said by every one, and
yet every one is in high praise of Mr..
ca pastures and meadows. "Such
grass" so "stout" and SO "thick" is in
the mouth of all. In all my seeing, l
have never seen clover SO thick, SO
close, as a lot the present season, sOwn
the past year, two bushels of seed to
the acre. In the fall it was the densest
and finest field within reach of the
eye.
Here was fifteen dollars to the acre
thrown away, in part, it was said, and
there were ten or twelve acres-one
hundred dollars lost in seed. And this
is being practieed almost yearly, or as
often as occasion may require. Mr.. G..
is dairyman, and well to do, SO that
he "can afford it," He has practiced
this thing, not that he wishes to
Throw away his seed"-he is not that
kind of a man-but rather to harbor
the pennies, the way he got an accumu-
lation of them.
This lot of clover, so thick that it
could not well lodge, but leaned
leaned from bottom to top, a thick
mass, yet not rotten, not hurt-this
mass was cut at the earliest cutting. 1t
was harvested, and some of the hay
was fed to the stock in the field on &C
count of the shortness of pasture, and
eaten greedily.

Rust In Wheat---Is There No Remedy.

Correspondence Nashville World.
Knowing that your paper goes to
the homes of many farmers, desire to
communicate with them through your
columns.
In our state the greatest enemy to
our wheat crop, and one of the most
destructive to our oat crop, is the uredo
or red rust.
So many failures have resulted from
this destructive fungus that many have
abandoned these crops in utter despair,
He who suggests practicable method
of fighting this enemy or some fair pro-
lection against it will prove, indeed,
benefactor to the farmers of our state.
have been trying for years to dis
cover some remedy against this evil
and 1 am sorry to say have not, as
yet, found anything which, can recon-
mend as always reliable.
There are SO many conditions and
SO many unknown quantities in this
problem that it will require many
workers in various localities to find a
probable solution in any brief time.
If the farmers who read this are
willing to make experiments with
some uniformity Of system, they may
contribute much aid in securing the
desired result. To such please suggest
the following facts which may assist
them in their experimental work:
First-The uredo is itself a plant,
but fungus or parasitic plant which
draws its life support not from the soil
but from the substance of other plants.
1t lives on oats, briars and such. plants,
Just as mistletoe makes its first appear
ance on an old tree reduced in vitality
and sometimes spreads to the more
vigorous ones, so the rust usually at
tacks the weaker and the less protect
ed plants, and then may spread t.
those with stronger vitality. Their
there is battle between higher an(
lower life.
l would not be understood as saying
that the rust plant resembles the mistle
toe except in the modes and subjects
of attack. This plant resembles NOR,
the small mushroom and moulds tina
sometimes attack and destroy higl
forms of life.
The rust plant has no leaves, NJ
seed but spores, and no stem except il
chain of cells of simple plants, ant
grows as the yeast plant, which, n

Moderate Prices to Rule.

The Breeders Gazette says: ut is
the opinion Of many conservative and
observant men that we are to have
moderate prices for almost all agricul-
tural products for perhaps two or three
years. OF course no one can predict
prices with certainty. Any one of
the several causes may produce high
prices, but the probabilities are that,
with average drops in our own and
other countries and the prevalence Of
peace, prices f r all great staples will
be lower than they have been for two
or three years past In the line of live
stock, this country has full stock of
all classes-horSes, cattle, sheep and
swine. Good prices have caused in
creased attention to breeding, there have
been no destructive epidemics among
our animals, pretty certainly, larger
number of females have been bred
this year than in any former one.
There is no need for Encouragement,
but we do not advise anyone to heavily
involve himself in debt, looking TO
great profits as ! means of paying"

Address on the Grasses,

Cultivator and Country Gentleman.
We have received an advance copy
of the valuable address on the Grasses,
delivered before the Annual Agricultu-
raj Convention Of Indiana, by l. D. G.
Nelson, of Fort Wayne. The requis-
ties for success in raising grass crops,
both for pastures and meadows, are dis
tinctly and vigorously pointed out, as
well as various requisites for securing
and curing hay. Valuable suggestions
are furnished in relation to the selec-
ton of varieties. On the subject of
thick sowing, the matter is of sufficient
importance to warrant the republica-
ton of the following extract, the state
ments of which accord with the expe-
riments made by us more than thirty
years ago, with bushel of timothy and
clover to the acre:
THE KIND OF SEED AND HOW MUCH
SHOULD BE sowN TO THE ACRE,
or, rather, perhaps, how little can the
average farmer get along with, for if
there is any one thing on this round
earth that a thriftless farmer is more
stingy about than another Except pay
ing his church contribution), it is the
quantity Of grass seed he can cheat his
land out of, and at the same time there
is nothing that he expects more from.
If | was not afraid of offending some
person, / would like to say that a
farmer who would SOW, in this enlighten-
ed age of agriculture, two quarts each
of timothy and clover to the acre,
would be avaricious enough to cut three
tons of hay to the acre if he could get
it; but he wouldn't get it, and he
ought not either. About as mean q
thing as I used to do to my land, some
thirty or forty years ago, was to SOW
three quarts each of clover and timothy,
expecting the Almighty to let me gath
er two tons or more; but he wouldn't
do it. But when the prophet came
and my eyes we're opened, and sowed
six quarts each, or half a bushel o.
timothy, I called my friends and neigh
bors together to behold the crop of hay
and rejoice with me.
And now, while on this subject, LEI
me fortify little by quoting the obser
vations of an intelligent correspondent
and practical farmer of the ALBANY
New York, Cultivator," who had visit
ed Mr.. Champions famous dairy farm
few years ago, where they now rails,
such enormous crops OF grass anc
wheat. don't indorse Mr.. C.'s ex
orbitant quantities of seed for our west
ern and new soil, but that we sow en-
tirely too small quantity in vas
majority of cases, is undoubtedly true
THICK SOWING OF GRASS SEED AM
CLovER-A CASE IN POINT.
1t is recommended usually to SOY
from half bushel to three pecks Q
seed to the aere-this by the best farm
ers. Formerly half that amount wa
"seed thrown away"-thrown away t
a good purpose, but it was not so cor
sidered. "Heavy" seeding is nov
recommended. But what is heav
seeding? 1t is, as we have said, ha
bushel to three pecks. a bushel-
who ever sows bushel? The case
hardly on record. Yet, what will b
said when two bushels are mentioned

the rust rootlets cannot penetrate it.
and hence such varieties are "rust
proof" and they continue SO until, in
our milder climate, the cuticle may
become thin and soft. If the rust
cell once sends its root through this
covering it multiplies rapidly and the
noble plant is doomed victim and its
life blood goes to fatten the ruthless
parasite. Tragedies are not confined
to the animal kingdom.
In the spring, seed spores of the
rust float through the air as the thistle
down, only millions to one, and are
ready to attack all plants affording
them appropriate food.
As the germs of diptheria fasten on
the tender and least protected of our
household, so the rust spores attack
first the least guarded plants.
Second-The above facts suggest
these others; that the wheat plant
should be made as vigorous as possible
and should be abundantly supplied
with soluble forms of silicon to give
the stalk strength and thick, hard
cuticle.
This can be done mostly in the pre-
paration of the soil before sowing this
fall.
If possible, the land should be well
broken and mixed some weeks before
seeding.
The blowing aids materially in de-
stroying the germs of rust and in pre-
pairing food for the plant.
Good stable manures give vigor
and otherwise act as representatives..
Most of the higher grade commercial
fertilizers, in a general way, and some
of them very especially, aid in forti-
flying the plant against the rust. Some
silicates and phosphates have given re-
suits which seem to indicate something
of more extended trial.
On very sandy land ! would recon-
mend an APPLICATION of ashes or some
form of the German fertilizer, kainit,
and on the stiff clay lands some soluble
form of silicon or sand and ashes OF
sand from crumbling rock. Almost
any home made fertilizer will be a
valuable application to common land,
and if the land is stirred several times
so much the better.
If it cannot be plowed before seed
ing, which | know is often the cast
here, and the surface is covered will
grass and other vegetable matter,
suggest that you burn all the heavy
portions as an experiment. 1t can DE-
no harm to the land; the ashes vii
benefit the future crop and the seeding
will be much more satisfactory.
Other facts and details might b,
suggested, but this article has alread!
gone beyond the limit assigned it a
the beginning. Some one else may
suggest something important in seeking
remedy against rust. If so, w
would be glad to test it at the expert
ment station.

operation and to urge our farmers t

Look Out For the Robbers.

A few years ago lot of swindling bilks
travelled through the country selling what
they called English goods from bankrupt
stocks. Their goods were done up several
kinds in lot and they sold the lot for $50
apiece. When farmers did not have the
money they would take their notes. They
represented the goods being so cheap and
told of another lot of their peddlers who
would come along in few days but who
never came, with twilled fannels at 20
cents per yard, calico at cents per yard
and other things in proportion, until many
people really believed they were getting
bargains. Until after their money had been
paid or their notes given they learned that
they were bilked in the worst way. We
understand through different exchanges
that these travelling thieves and robbers are
again travelling through the country on the
same mission and selling goods in a similar
manner. These swlndlers would not get
anything worse than they deserve if they
should meet with a substantial coat of tar
and feathers; and yet we cannot pity people
who instead of patronlzing home stores in
their home town get robed by these travel
ing thieves, and yet as publisher of pub
lie journal it is our duty to warn people of
the approaching danger. We learn they
are taking in the southern part of the state
and will no doubt be in the Willamette
valley soon.

The Union Temperance Service:

The last services of the Union Gospel Tenn
perance meeting was held on the 18th inst.
at the NJ. E. Church, and was opened and
conducted by Rev. Bennett. He dwelt on
the evil of the use of Intoxicating drink, and
held the medical faculty, as profession,
largely responsible for the excessive use OF
intoxicants. He advised the abandonment
of the use of alcohol as medicine. Father
Bennett is an old soldier and man of much
observation and experience in the cause OF
temperance, and it would be well for the
medical profession to heed his warning notes.
Rev. J. A. Hanna was next. He is also
old veteran, and made some capital argu-
ments.
Mr.. Nash was in favor of all working
together. even if they do differ as to meth
ods. He spoke in his usual pleasing style.
DIR. Embree thought there were but two
sides to the question, either for or against.
The temperance people demand total absti-
nence and prohibition as the remedy for the
evils of intemperance.
Rev. Bell followed in manner that seem
ed to be very pleasing and satisfactory to
the audience

Trip to the Yanuipa.

On last Wednesday morning in company
with Prof. B. L. Arnold, Master Herbert
Ray and James Emery, we started for a
short visit to Yaquina Bay. Our journey
was pleasant one. We found the roads
superb have never travelled over better
mountain road. The people of the Yaquina
and intervening points deserve all praise;
they have spared no pains nor expense nee
essary to put the roads in first class con-
dition. We reached the sea at II NJ Thurs
day, and found delightful camping grounds
on Big creek, half way between Newport
and the lighthouse. The grounds are own
ed by Mr.. John Facey, very pleasant gen.
tleman. The grounds are sheltered and
shaded by beautiful grove of trees and
through them runs clear mountain stream,
and there is abundance of wood near by,
without cost, for cooking purposes. Mr..
Facey has put the grounds in good condition,
fencing and sowing them. down with tame
grasses. He has also built a large stable
for the use of campers horses. He charges
the nominal sum of one dollar for use of
grounds and stable. He has fine meadow,
charging fifty cents day for all the grass
that span of horses can eat. He has also
an excellent garden and is ready to supply
campers with all kinds of vegetables, cheap;
also an abundance of milk and butter
I speak thus explicit for the benefit of
tourists and pleasure seekers, seeking recre-
alton and health down at the sounding sea
especially those carrying with them their
camp equipage. And 1 know of no more
delightful spot as a summer resort than
Newport and its surroundings on Yaquina
Bay. The lover of the fnny tribe can be
supplied to repletion-the angler can find
abundant sport. Three of us went out on
Friday and in less than three hours caught
at least one hundred pounds of fish. 1 spent
the Sabbath in Newport, preaching morning
and evening to good congregations, also
talked to the children in the Sunday School
at 3 P. NJ. I have never visited among a
more pleasant people. There are two good
hotels in the city-the Abbey Hotel, and
Ocean House, kept by our former townsman;
Mr.. Joseph Irwin. By invitation I dined
on Sabbath with Mr. Irvin-if that dinner
was sample of the table he sets; tourists
that stop at the Ocean House will fare
well. We left for home on Monday morn
ing, driving clear through to Corvallis by
IL o'clock P. NJ. On my way over I stopped
at tunnel No. and received, through the
courtesy of Mr.. Gerheart, the engineer, and

Fire at Dallas.

At about ii 80 on the night of June 22nd
| the alarm of fire was sounded through the
city of Dallas, by the ringing of the NJ E.
| church bell. In less than ten minutes the
| streets were alive with surging mass of
frightened people. Men, women and chill
dren in half dress, rushed from their homes
and to the central part of the city, which
was already brilliant as MONDAY with the
lurid light of the devouring flames As the
city is totally without fire company, or
any fire extinguishing appliances, even OF
the most primativs. kind, of course scene
of wild confusion prevailed. 1t was clear
from the very first that large number OF
buildings were destined to furnish food for
the devouring element.
The Dallas hotel and all of the business
houses north to NJ. NJ. Ellis brick were
emptied as far as possible, and goods OF
every conceivable description piled in con-
fused heaps on Main street. The fire was
first discovered in the woodshed in the rear OF
| Mat Brown's grocery store, and was either
| the result of spontaneous combustion or the
| work of an incendiary. There being little
or no wind exec what was created by the
great heat, the flames spread equally in
| both directions, north and sonth.
The business houses stood in the follow
| ing order: Commencing with the hotel on
the northwest corner, next the miliner store
of Mrs. Swaine, then the law Office of Town
send & Pipes, next NJ. G. Browns grocery
| Il u -
| saloon, Cooper's stove store and Ellis gro
Gerry store. These were all old wooden
buildings, and in few minutes from the
time the alarm was given they were all a
mass of flames, and in less than an hou1
scarce vestage of them was left, except a
seething pile of smoldering embers.
By dint of almost superhun1an effort the
| fire was checked at nj. Ellis brick store
although at one time it seemed that the
entire business portion of the city wa.
doomed, and nothing but the most heroic
efforts on the part of the citizens, both men
and women, prevented it.
| All honor Is due to both men and women,
as both exerted themselves to the utmost to
save property and limit the destroying
! flames After the fire was under control
the ladies repaired to the Franklin hotel
and prepared oyster stews and coffee in
| abundance to refresh those who had ex.
hausted themselves by severe labor.

by the fire: Parsons hotel $1,000, nc
