Weed Killing.

1t is true that weeds still keep grow
ing, and must be destroyed that they
may not ripen seed to fill the ground, to
the detriment of future crops. 1t is not
the labor to keep them down now that
1t was while crops were smaller and did
not shade the ground. To go through a
field and pull up the larger weeds which
in some way escaped destruction at the
last hoeing, or with a hoe to cut up
those that are starting in certain spots,
is not like the labor of giving the field
thorough hoeing. Then those which
fringe the borders of the fields should lie
mown down, and the spots from which
the early crops have been taken should
be plOwed or gone over with the
cultivatOr, even though no other crop is
to be put in this fall Better the land
should lie fallow than to be growing a
crop of foul seeds to infeSt the neighbor-
ing soil.
Then there are weeds and bushes in
the pastures and along the roadsides to
be mown down. Let them lie where
they fall until dry enough to burn, and
then apply the match, so that the fire
may assist in destroying the sprouts that
may start from the roots. With the first
growth cut down, and the second burned
down, the third, if there shall be one,
may be so feeble and tender as to be
destroyed by the winter. Those weeds
which are sufficiently mature to ripen
their seeds should also be DESTROYED by
fire if it can be done. If not they should
be subjected to the gentle heat of the
compost heap. -American Cul 'iCatur.

Practical Hints on Raising Calves

Practical Hints on Raising Calves.
The important point in raising calves
Is to give them a good start, for which
purpose nothing equals milk as it is
taken from the COW. Though some peo-
pie practice separating the calf from the
cow the day after it is dropped, it is gen.
orally preferred to let it run with the
COW for four or five days taking all the
milk it will. At least this period should
elapse after calf is dropped before the
milk will be fit for use as human food.
After separating the calf from the COW
new milk should be literally fed for
two weeks, and if this can be continued
even longer it is advisable. No substl-
tute for new milk should be given under
two weeks. After that, however, more
economical food may be compounded,
if desired, and the calf will still thrive.
If skim milk can now be afforded, the
calf will thrive on liberal feeding.
Willard says that if whey and oat-
meal be properly prepared it can be
made to serve as very good substitute
for milk. The whey should be dipped
off when sweet from the vat then bring
to the boiling point and turn it upon the
oll-meal. Let the mixture stand till
night, then feed. In the morning whey
sweet from the vat may be fed. At the
commencement little less than pint
of oil-meal per day will be sufficient for
four calves. This may be gradually in
creased till each calf has daily ration of
half pint. At first it is better not to
feed calves all the whey they will drink
at a time large feed of whey clogs
the appetite and deranges the health.
A half pail of whey at first is
enough for feed which may be increased
to three fourths of pail and pail as
the calf increases in age. TUl meals
day, if the calf runs in good pasture, is
sufficient. Calves fed in this way ought
not to be. weaned until they can get
good bite of after feed from the early cut
meadows. 1t is important to keep them
in growing, thrifty condition with no
check When weaned earlier their
growth is often checked by reason of
short, dry or innutritious feed in pas
lures.
When whey Is not to be had for feed
ing young calves the following is some
times used: Take three quarts of linseed
meal and four quarts of bean meal
and mix with thirty quarts of boiling
water, when it is left to digest for twenty
four hours and is then poured into
boiler on the fire having thirty-one
quarts of boiling water. 1t is here boiled
for half an hour, being stirred with a
perforated paddle to prevent Jumps and
produce perfect incorporation. 1t is
then set aside to cool and is given blood
warm. When first used it is mixed with
milk in small quantity. The milk is
gradually decreased till they get the
mucilage only. Indian neal may be
used in place of bean meal. Buckwheat
meal cooked into porridge and added to
whey is reported to have been used with
good results.
1t is considered desirable point to
hasten the maturity of the young animal
by good feeding and care so that it will
come into milk at two years, as such
heifers make better mixers than those
that come in at three years, besides the
profit of milk for an extra season.-Neao

Poultry as Wheat Producers.

It has been claimed that ne-fourth of
the profit in poultry is in the manure
they produce. From the elperince of a
wheat grower in Ohio, it would appear
that the whole expense of keeping his
poultry was paid by the droppings taken
from the poultry house. This is the way
it was done:
In the fall, after he has his corn in the
shock, he goes to the fe d and gets
number of loads of nice, fine, dry dirt;
this is placed under cover; once each
week the hen house is cleaned out and
and the droppings covered with some of
this dry dirt in bulk about half as much
as the droppings. This absorbs the
moisture and retains the ammonia. Two
or three times during the summer the
pile is shoveled ovei, to have it thor
oughly mixed and dried. The whole is
then sifted to remove feathers, straw or
anything else that would clog a grain
drill When he sows his wheat he has a
phosphate attachment to his drill and
uses barrel of this home made fertilizer
to the acre. The result is an extra five
or ten bushels of wheat to the acre.
This, he says, pays for the keep of his
fowls so all the income from the flock is
profit except the cost of caring for them.
If poultry can be made to increase the
fertility of our farms to such an extent,
what branch of farming pays better?
This is not the experiment of single

number of years. Results equal to those

THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS
Will Report On The 18th OF December.

At Tuesdays session of the board
of engineers: to hear the views oi
those interested in removing obstruc-
tions to navigation in the Columbia
river, @. 81. Dodd gave it as his opin-
ion that the problem at Cello could
best be solved by the construction OF
a portage railway for boats around
the falls there, this portage railway
to be so constructed as to carry a
cradle large enough to hold any class
of vessel, steam or otherwise, of q
capacity of 500 tons. This cradle is
to be SO constructed as to also carry
barges of 800 tons capacity. This, he
claimed, was necessary on account of
the two stages of water at different
seasons of the year-to wit: low and
high. These conditions are frequent
ly met with in the Snake and Colum-
bia rivers.
It was further stated by Mr.. Dodd
that the board of trade had given the
matter of the improvement of the
rivers a great deal of thoughtful at
tention during the past seven years.
That innumerable plans aud devices
had been submitted and considered
for overcoming the physical difficult
ties at Cello. That after all these
had been carefully considered the
plan of Major w. A. Jones, United
States engineer, for portage railway
at Cello, had been adopted by the
board of trade by resolution, as being
by far the most feasible and expe-
ditious.
In relation to the Cascade rapids,
Mr.. Dodd thought that the canal and
locks should be completed as soon as
possible. That the canal should be
fifty feet wide, and it would be still
better if it was sixty feet wide, and
that it should be so arranged that a
vessel 240 feet long could be taken
through.
Col. Mendell assured Mr.. Dodd that
the Cascade locks would be CON-
pleted as soon as possible. The mat
ter of the portage railway would be
carefully looked into, and on Decem-
ber Is the report which the board will
make will be opened. The investiga-
tion which the board had begun will
not be finished by the original board
in person, but they will send compe-
tent men to finish the work.
Ex-senator Grover also appeared
before the board of engineers, and
gave his views in regard to how the
instructions to navigation should be
removed.
Col. Mendell left on last nights
steamer for San Francisco.-NeaCS,

There is big tarvel everyw here: to
Ilwaco, Shoalwater bay, Gray's har.
Dor, Tillamook, Portland and San
Francisco. Every boat is crowded.
As for the night boats, the Telephone
and the Potter, their passengers are
legion. The passenger travel to and
from Astoria, is something unusual
this season. A Walla Walla man in
the Office yesterday, said, "I'm heart
lily glad you folks have taken hold of
this matter yourselves and made up
your minds to build a railroad to the
Seaside. That's the way to do. AS
toria by right should be the center of
all this seaside business, and if the
matter is put in the right shape, you
ought to have 10000 people here from
eastern Oregon and Washington ev-
cry year." 1t is a fact that with the
Astoria and South Coast railroad
built it is reasonable to expect that
25,0O0 people would make this their
home four months of the year. We
have bigger bonanza than the Com
stock in this magnificent ocean beach
at our gates, and nothing will devel-
op it in 80 marked degree as the
construction of the railroad to the
seaside.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
tiicted? If you will remember n few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.
