first-CIass Farm Tools.

Good tools are essential to good
farming, a saving in time and cost OF
labor. With the many different and
improved implements Of culture, there
is no excuse for any farmer to con
tinue the use of poor and imperfect
tools, the use Of which is a severe tax
upon bodily energy. Even though at
tended with some cost, it is better thai
new tools should be purchased, be-
cause by the better work that can be
performed there will be an increased
crop with no increase of labor Farm

and advantages resulting from the
use of improved uaachines.-Troy On,

In the Vegetable Garden.

The neutrality-suspicious. in the neigh
borhood Of large cities is accustomed
to use valuable land and often pays 4
high rent for the privilege. He makes
this pay by growing several crops q
year on the same ground, and to that
end the land is made very rich by ma
nu-e, this latter being favorable to the
favor, as it is a well-known fact that
quick growth is what is wanted for
vegetables for summer use. The sub
urban gardener, in his small lot. may
readily practice the same principle, by
always growing plants Of a similar
nature together. For example, all the
early crops, as cabbage, peas, rad
ishcs, lettuce, caulifower, potatoes,
bush beans, come off the ground
near enough together for our pur-
pose. The ground for these should
be heavily MANFRED in the
spring. Rldishes and lettuce take
only a month to six weeks. Sc
these may be grown between the
rows OF the other crops. This gives
the rows u foot or two between each
other, but plenty Of room, when the
lettuce and radishes come Off for the
perfectiny Of the other crops.
Now. then, to succeed these first
crops we shall want spaces about that
time for late cabbage, caulitiower,
celery, successional pease, beans and
turnips. Even the cucumber5 and
melons may be accommodated by
clearing away the leaves Of small
space. By the time these are growing
| rapidly, the first crop comes Off alto
gethcr. In making these arrange
ments cabbage need not follow cab
bage, but put these on the land the
! pease and beans had, and so Oh. All
| the winter root crops MAY be by them
| selves, as also pole beans that occupy
| the ground all the time. -Pruirie

tory:
STATE OF OREGON, SECRETARY's OEFIcE. /
SALEM, October 10, 1889.
Hon. G. II. Page, astoria, oregon.
DEAR SIR In reply to your favor
of the 18th instant, l regret to say
that cannot send you statement OF
the total taxable property of the sew
eral counties of this state for the rea-
son that but few of the transcripts OF
assessment rolls have been received. 1t
is difficult to estimate the state tax
levy until all the assessment rolls
shall have been received. 7 am told
that the total taxable property in
Marion county shows an increase Of
about two million dollars, and if other
counties report proportionate in
crease the state levy would be less
than six mills. On the basis of the
valuation of 1888 the levy would prob
ably be about seven mills; bIIt with
the gains reported in Marion, Una
tilla and Clatsop, and the gain ex-
pected in Multnomah and some other
counties the levy should be less than
the rate last mentioned.
[ am very respectfully your Obedient
servant.
GEO. w. MCBRIDE.
Secretary OF State.
