dant and cheap. They are not onl.
purer but sweeter, and really cheaper
than any other grades. Pulverizet
sugar Is more liable to adulteratioi
and the brown sugars still more. Th'
commonest adulteration of cane ant
maple syrup is glucose. The easiest
and safest plan for domestic tableuse
for buckwheat, or other cakes, for ex'
ample, is to make syrup of the gran

sugars, Not all syrups in the market
are adulterated, but the difficulty i:
to know the genuine from the false
and this method is an easy and surely
safe one.
New discoveries-or what claim t.
be new discoveries-of the healing
virtues of plants are continually being
made. One of the last Is that celery

Is asserted that the disease is impos'
sible if the vegetable be cooked and
freely eaten. The celery should be
cut into bits, boiled in. water until

painful ailment will soon yield. Such
is the declaration of physician who

friend Col. Taisey, of Donnelly, and
all others who suffer from rheuWatisnl
should make note of this.

Northwest Agriculturist: We hear
some complaints about orchard grass
killing out, 10y L. III. Stanton, OF
Morris, Minnesota, who has the finest
| field of orchard grass we know of, re-
ports that last fall it made the best of
pastures, and endorses it as the most
| valuable Of all grasses for this climate.
Orchard grass sown with medium red
or mamoth (sapling) clover makes a
combination good for hay or pasture.
If mammoth clover is sown, enough
blossoms will ripen to reseed the
ground, when cut for hay, and the
clover will not run out. Unlike
medium clover, the mammoth makes
seed in its first blossom, and as some
blossoms rlpen early, enough seed is
knocked out in making hay to re-seed
the ground. If mammoth clover is
fed, and the manure hauled from barn
to field, without fermenting, the field
will be found we'll seeded.
There is n good deal being said by
farmers eff Stevens county in relation
to raising sheep, and it is generally
admitted that sheep raising here
would be profitable business for those
who engage in it. 1t is contended
by many that every farmer should
keep a few sheep, not for the weol
alone, but for good mutton. Sheep
destroy weeds and enrich the land,
also feed and clothe their owners. It
is the all purpose animal of the farm.
We notice by one of our exchanges
that F. M. Rigelow of Plainview, this
state, keeps about 800 sheep, which
have paid him better than anything
else. John Hughes raised 217 lambs
from 175 ewes last year. The sheep
sheared an average of ten pounds
of wool each, worth from 20 to % cts.
per pound. The lambs were worth
$3.50 each in December. This made
an average of $3.50 from each eve.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for its prompt and effectual
cures of coughs and colds. The most
severe cold may be loosened and re-
lieved by few doses of this valuable
remedy. For sale by Fritz Buckentin'
Hon. J. D. Good left here last Sun

depreciation of being absent a month
or more. It Is quite probable that he
will be in Washington on the 4th OF

make it part ofvhis business to see

who are meditating on removing west
