a. L. Poor Is receiving considerable
old wheat at his elevator. Mr.. Taylor
brings him uT-thousand fiYe-hundred
bushels.
Several of the boys who went out
west to look for work came back salts
fed to remain at home. They went to
Lane county as we'll as several others.
There was six or eight Of the party and
it is said every one returned after a two
weeks visit
The political pot boiIs now and then
in small way. but whether it will cook
any of the candidates for office or not
is uncertain.
Judge A. S. Davidson is again up for
District Clerk. Well, he is a good one,
II he has so long held the Office.
No aspirants down this way that are
known of at the present writing.
Farmers are busy with weeds and
have little time for town trading. They
come in and go out mornings and even
ings in hurried manner and get such
tools and groceries that are necessary
for present use at their homes.
The gardens are booming and in a
few days, early home grown potatoes
will be In the groceries and in great
abundance.
NJ. 7. Sheldon sent two car loads of
hogs from here recently. He will con-
tinue to purchase and ship to Kansas
City.
Russell & Fancher have pet in their
grocery department to catch the mice.
1t is young owl, audit takes kindly to
the business of being petted if it does
not get the mice.
The people of this vicinity, and as a
matter Of course, those in the city de-
sire the High School building located at
Chapman. There are many reasons
why this building should be located
here. Abilene, at least, owes this place
for many favors in times past. Now
let the High School go to this quiet
little city, on account of the fact that
here the scholars attending would be
surrounded by moral, temperate, in
telligent people who would take great
interest in the success of the enterprise.
Chapman also has quite a number of
hotels and comodious boarding houses
for pupils who might attend and these
are removed from hustle, dirt and noise

EDITORS REFLECToR-I promised to
write you few words in regard to our
passage to this country. Well, to take
it as whole, we had a splendid trip
both by land and seattle sea passage
by the splendid steamer, City of Rome.
She is very fine ship and well worth a
short trip to see through her. On Mon
day before we started reception and
concert was given, and l think there
was fully five thousand persons on beard
at one time.
We found the country very quiet and
business dull, but the people seem con-
tented and happy. have not had time
as yet to look about me, so cannot say
much this time. l find a marked con;
trast in the neatness of the farming
country as compared with that of yours
The grain is looking well and with IA
vorable weather 1 think good crop
will be made.
as usual had no sea sickness and
my wife very little, as the steamer
glides along so smoothly that none to
speak Of is produced, except in very
rough weather.
We found our relativS and friends all
In good health and much pleased to see
us.
Ihave about exhausted my little stock
Of news this time, but will write you
again later.
Yours truly,
JAMES MORLEY.

PIG DIET.
Grass the Foundation Of "a Rational Course
of Feeding for Young Pigs.

Grass the Foundation Of Rational Course
of Feeding for Young Pigs.
The foundation for pig growth should
be grass. rs it should be the foundation
for the growth of all stock. 1t is the
cheapest food given to US and the most
natural for domestic animals. Pigs
when only three weeks old will begin
to eat grass, and they will live on it
when three months old. When they
have the range Of tender grass or
clover, they may safely be fed on any
kind of other food. They will stand
corn in abundance, having the grass ~
an antdote and additional food. The
grass is cooling and life-iuspiring. and
a complete food. Give me a farm Of
grass; grass in abundance, above all
other things. Cooling and relaxing
foods must be given to young pigs
along with the heating and Constipating
foods, or there will be trouble. This is
no mere theory. for q whole litter Of
dead pig, arc the silent evidence. Their
first trouble Is scours-the first, and
often the last, trouble with young pigs.
II they pass this ordeal, which is the
result OF dyspepsia-yes, hogs, too,
have it and sometimes get rid Of the
cause by vomiting, human cXpcdient
then the next thing is either coustipa-
ton or dysentery. Inflammation of
the stomach, liver. Kidneys and bowels
are diseases consequent upon feeding
pigs too rich food, or food in such
condensed form as corn.
The most trouble in caring for young
pigs i, that they gst too much food in-
70 the stomach at one time. This /,
wrong when it i concentrated, ~ the
mass is indigcstiblc, and II is dcictcri-
Gus when thin and bulky. for then it
produces distendcd and unnatural
size in the stomach and puts the pig
out Of shape. Pigs will stand great
deal more nutritious or rich food. if it
is given b them in small quantities
and every two hours. They have nat
urally a strong and quick digestion.
when it is not cloggcd or oycr-crowdcd.
The way 10 keep up their stamina Is to
feed little and often, and always in a
clean trough, and TO give them the run
of pasture. Tho earth Is an appo-
tizer-tha fresh, clean earth, and not a

CULTlvATiNG CORN.
A Method successfully Employed bl

A Method Successfully Employed by an
Experienced Agricuiturist.
NY plan is to cultivate shallow and
keep the soil as nearly level rs possi-
bic. | had to try level cultivation con
sidcrably before l could give up the
idea that it was better than hilling.
The old plan Of cultivating corn inn
piled using the diamond plow to lay
the corn by with. The earth was
thrown to the corn each way, and the
middlcs split out, leaving the soil in
high ridges. When cultiyators first
began to be used, they were laid aside
after cultivating two or three times IA
1t was still considered necessary to
finish the cultivation with the plOw. |
tried both plans, cultiyating part of
my crop with the cultivator. and keep
ing the soil reasonably level, and using
the diamond plow for the rest.
So far as my own experience Is con-
cerncd, | am satisfied that. taking one
season with another. level cultivation
is the best. II we knew to certainty
that the season would be excessively
wet, | should of course prefer to use
the diamond pillow; but, generally,
level. shallow cultivation is much the
best, rs well rs the most economical
One man, with q team and good
walking cultivatpr, can do rs much
work cu,tvating corn, cane or pota-
toes, as two men with two horses and
two corn plows, making the use Of the
cutiyatOr much more economical than
blowing.
My plan OF cultiyating is to have the
soil in as good tilth as possible before
planting the crop, and then commence
the cultivation, as soon a. possible aft
or the crop j. planted, with the harrow.
This breaks the crust and kills out all
the young weeds that are sure To start
up; generally two harrowings can be
given with profit Then commence
with the cu.tiyator, taking or the in
side shoyels and putting bull tongues
IN their places these are really small
er and narrower shoycls. By using
'hem and pair of Tenders, the soil can
be- stirred very close TO thc plants. Two
good civilizations can be given; that
+, one each way, and this should leave
the corn very clean. Two more work
ings with the larger shovels in is all
that is generally needed Sometime,
" the soil is unusually foul with weeds
or grass, one (or even two) more cult
vation is necessary to keep clean. |
always found that it paid to keep the
corn as clean as possible, not only 10
increase the yield but 10 leave the soil
in a better condition for future crops.
| iiud that it pays best TO give the
earliest cultivation possible. II you
can secure a good start to grow. you
can readily keep It up by continued
cultivation, and early thorough cultiva-
zion Is a very important item in secur.
