A new pasture will give better results
if the stock is kept out of the field until
the ground is well in sod. 1t is fre-
quent cause of pastures failing-close
cropping new pastures are not only
injured by close grazing but also by
tramping.

One remedy to prevent squirrels, mice
and birds finding planted corn is to har-
row the ground Immediately after plant

to scatter corn about the border of the

holes as soon as the corn begins to come
up.

Shut up that Louisiana lottery. 1t is
an awful disgrace. Government cannot
do too much to assist the farmers alli-
ance and ant1s in their fight against this
seducer of public morals and debaucher
of private thrift. Yet how much worse
is it than the unbridled gambling in the
necessaries of life that is Iegalized in all
the great markets of the world? Wipe
'em out with other lotteries. Eliminate
gambling, let real supply and demand
govern, and values will be fairer to both
producer and consumer

1t has been ascertained that the first
wheat sold in the northwest was raised
in Polk county, Oregon, in 1S46, and
brought twenty-five cents per bushel.
Perhaps no other industry has been so
developed in the intervening forty-fiye
years in this state as has wheat raising
the small fields of those days having
broadened into hundreds of thousands of
acres, and the few bushels offered for
sale at that time having been increased
by millions. Not the least satisfactory
item among others is the fact that the
price has also increased in the interven-
ing years, until the farmers are among
the most prosperous citizens of this vast
realm.
A Chicago paper publishes two letters
in connection with the recent murder of
Miss Bertha Ison, of Baker City, by Dr.
C. E. Ballard, at Bloomington III. One
was written by Miss Ison to Ballard, a
short time before the murder, in which
she severely upbraided Ballard for hav-
ing obtained license without her
knowledge and consent, and falsely pro-
claiming that they were to be married at
once. She says in the letter that she
thanks God for saving her from the mar
riage, and tells Ballard that he cannot
now expect her promise. "The way you
have treated me,' she closes, ''has al
most killed me-and has killed my love.
Our paths are forever divided The
other letter is from Ballard to his moth
er, in which he intimates that he and
Miss Ison had mutually agreed to die,
and that Miss Ison was the cause of it
all. Hey was evidently a weak minded
fellow, and it was an evil day for the
Ison family that threw them in his des-
perate, deadly way.
