Lawn Park addiuon was nearly sold
yesterday for $50, 900, but for some rea
son the deal fell through. The prospec-

posed improving the tract by putting in a
lake and planting trees. then selling to
good people only. They were called
away a few minutes before train time by

go through. In any event Lawn Park
will not be on the market long.

The parouse Country, Washington

This section OF the northwest is daily
attracting the attention Of eastern people,
especially is this true since the completion
of the Union Pacific through this new
empire, thus opening up a direct line from
the Missouri river to Spokane Falls, just
north of the Palouse country.
Many desirable farms may yet be had
in this remarkably productive region on
reasonable terms, as the settling of this
vast section is yet in its infancy.
The Union Pacific is now the most direct
line, and vi = its fast time, elegant
equipment and NV rates OF fare, is the
favorite route 10 this region from all
points east.

can be used. But In the case Of peaches

water must be added to them for the first
cooking. They are not sufficiently juicy

Obtained. A more laborious method
however, which will avoid adding the
water, 10 TO improvise . double boiler by
setting the kettle Of fruit into large par
IT water and cook the fruit in this way.
II will need stirring frequently and to be
cooked longer than BY the tlfst method.
Ounces require quarter Of . pound
less sugar TO pint Of jude than Other
fruits, while green grapes, which make I
most delicious, spicy jelly to cat with
poultry and game, need one and . hall
pounds Of sugar for the same quantity Of
juice. Barberries require that their juice
and sugar be boiled together ten minutes
before pouring into the glasses.
Bags to strain the juice through, an
often made of flannel and are good, but
those Of coarse yet firm crash are better

It seems that vigorous governmental
action Ii to be taken through Secretary of
Agriculture Rusk and Secretary Of State
Blaine, in relation to the removal Of the
restrictions now resting over our exports
of beef and pork. Advices from WASH
lnRton are to the effect that the admins
tration has decided to station . special
agent Of the Department Of Agriculture
abroad. with headquarters at London, and
three veterinary surgeons to act as in
spectors at London, Liverpool and Glas-
gov; In order that the trade may no long
er be left TO the tender mercies Of our
competitors. The special agent will, as
we understand 1t, be charged with the
duty Of keeping watch and ward over
our entire European trade, guarding 1t
from all unjust attacks of every name and
nature, and with the aid Of the expert
veterinary inspectors to be placed at his
disposal, Il IL believed that the charges
we are exporting contagious lung plague
can be successfully refuted. With an
open market secured abroad, there is no
doubt but the export trade in cattle
would be greatly stimulated, thus Afford
ing an outlet for the surplus we are now
producing.-Adins Farmer.

FARM, GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
What Ais The Oats.

The breadth of oats shown In the
State last spring was very much cut
down from what was intended, bys the
reported heavy rains falling at the time
when the seed should have been sown.
But fact quite as important Is, that the
crop now growing is generally In most
unpromising condition. Indeed 1t Is q
remarkable fact that there are to be found
In going across the country, but very
few exceptions to this unpromising con-
di,ion Of the crop. Nor Is 1t confined to
this State alone. A paragraph before
US speaks Of It's being general In New
Jersey, while reports from different sec
lions Of Connecticut are TO the same Ell
ect, and the last bulletin from the Mass
chusetts Board of Agriculture gives the
crop as of bad promise. Here, As else
where, the growth has been slow and
dwarfsd, and In the early stages Of
growth there has developed q condition
resembling rust In Its effects which has
killed the lower leaves. This disease, or
Whatever II Is, gives . reddish-brown
appearance to the pricipal leaves Of the
plant, and seems to materially check the
development In the language Of the
farm we say they are rusty, yet 1t Is moi
the common rust fungus. Here is sub
ject for investigation by the Station
Professors. DR.. Holsted having had hi.
attention called to the condition Of ths
oat crop In New Jersey. publishes tn,
following In Garden and Forest.
The oat crop at the time OF writing
throughout New Jersey gives all thu
signs Of failure. Many farmers have al
ready plowed the fields again for some
other crop, while many moro are anxioul
TO know what to do. In general appear
auce the oat plant 10 dwarfed, and nearly
all the leaves, especially the lower ones
are brown and dead. As the wheat, rye
and grass crops have been badly attach
ed this spring by the sphis or grain louss
many farmers have ascribed the wretch
ed appearance Of the oats to the same
enemy, but am assured BY Prof. Smith
that the aphis cannot be held responsible
for . great part of the destruction thai
is so widespread among the oats Of the
State. Therefore 1t seemed advisable &c
to make q microscopic examination Of
the diseased plants, ID order to discover
whether the cause of this disaster wal
not some parasitic fungus. Specimen.
In root, stem and leaf from several local.
ties have been examined, and nothing II
the nature Of rust, smut, mildew, mole
or blight was found. 1t may be true tha
low form of organism belonging to the
group Of bacteria Is the cause Of the IN
healthy growth. Bacteria were found
present, but no attempts we're made To
determine the bacterial origin OF the
disease.
But small bodies were found within the
substance of the smaller roots, and these
at once suggested undeveloped worms OF
minute size called nematodes. As the
search continued, the mature worms were
found In full activity.
These worms are very destructive to
some Of our principal garden crops, and
lis evident that large field 10 opening

Animals fed regularly and sufficiently
will rarely eat themselves to death when
they gain access to meal barrel. 1t is

noted Western cattle breeder says
that breeders have passed the time when
they aim to grow steers first and then
fatten them" They feed to grow and
fatten all along the line.
An old statistical paragraph says that
Boston In 1862 paid one million dollars
for milk, and three millions In 1882 How
much will 1t be In 1892, and 1902.
Good shelter, winter and summer, Is az
important, In its way, as good feeding. 1t
supplements feeding. Summer shelter Is
needed against heat and flies.
Unruly cattle on farm are very
troublesome, but the cause Is not hard To

them down?
