The famous broodmare, Beautiful
Bells, 2:293, dropped bay colt by

tioneer-Beautiful Bells.

Farmers, do not fail to put in a
piece of ground to roots-the yellow
globe or carrot--for your stock. 1t
is feed that is easily kept. 1t can be
left in the field until late, requires
no silo, keeps we'll and is most
healthful feed. For small plots it is
economy to drop seed by hand. 1t
saves seed and saves the labor of
thinning.
AS the Salem grange has voted in
favor Of encouraging the importa-
ton of ship load of sugar, it is
interesting to know how much sugar
that would be. March 2Sth, the
steamer Hounslow English of
course y landed cargo of Sandwich
island sugar at San Francisco,
amounting to 9.4So,OOO pounds
enough to supply lbs. l9 ozs.,
each to every man woman and child
of 1,204,O02 inhabitants of the
Golden state.
Unless parents who are farm
ers desire to discourage their sons
from following this business,
they should, be allowed 10 do
something each year ON their own
account, and have the money they
thus make. The little thus earned
early by themselves will lie worth
a hundred times as much as if left
to them after the death of their
parents, who previously kept them
ignorant Of any practical knowledge
of the value and uses of money

North Pacific Rural Spirit: The
trotting horse is now the mere toy
of the spol ting man or even of the
ambition of enterprising early man
hood. Aged men, by the hundreds,
indulge In his ownership and en-
joyment, Thousands of men in ma
ture manhood own trotting horses,
as affording the most exhilerating
of outdoor recreation, while young
men without number long for the
day of greater prosperity. when they
can afford to own and drive a swift
roadster.
Orange Judd Farmer; Let there
be no "April 1st fOoling" on the
part of dealers. They have had six
notice that on April 1st 1891,
.he tariff of an average of 2 cents a
pound would be off, and the cost of
sugar be 2 cents pound less. The
act allowed sugar to be sent any
where, in bond, long enough for all
dealers to get the free-of-tax sugar
The first of this month, so no dealer
mas right to keep up old prices until
he sells "off old stocks.n The 2 cts.
4 pound cheaper sugar is designed
or the benefit of all the people, and
Ill should have it at once.

.ating 5000 grape cuttings suitable
or Oregon farms and homes and
en- of the newest and ten latest |
arleties of strawberries.
