know of no simpler and better plan
to adopt in a laying house. In a
house of this size, it is better to have
four boxes and four slanting boards

many breeders approve Of high roosts,
but with board ladder running up
to the top of roosts it is easy for the
fowls to reach the roosUs.
The plan is good one, and it can
only be obtained by having it this
height, for proper drop. A flock so
kept will be more healthy, as bad ven
tilation with foul roosts is often the
cause of sickness, to

Gardening Notes

AN application of hardwood ashes
will supply the soil with potash, so
necessary in the berry garden.
POTATOES may be planted between
most berry rows the first season, but
never corn nor any crop to- shade the
ground.
The prepondefance Of evidence
from experiment stations, as we'll as
from private experiments, is against
emitting potatoes, especially to one
eye for an early crop.
EVEN village on city Los could be
made to accommodate a small straw
berry bed, a row of raspberr5es, tree
or two of plumb. peach, cherry, pear,
OF apple, and half a. dozen grape
vines.
A LITTLE pruning every year Is the
only right way, and saving off large
limbs is apt to do mortal INJURY. The
skilled Orchadist removes the sprouts
with the finger point when they first
issue from the bud
The Indiana Farmer declares that
a quarter OF an acre Of good land is
enough garden for one family, and it
will take but an hour to- cultivate
that space with horse TOOLS and you
Cam well afford to- give an hour a
week to the garden for tine sake OF
having an abundant supply of fresh
vegetables.
Much that is planUed i'm the front
yard should be in the back yard. The
hnest things on home ground are
not for show or dress, parade. Flowers
should fringe the pathway to the
barn. and vines should cling to and
overshadow the back porch, con-
stantly adding to, the enjoyment Of
busy farm or home workers in their
daily routine.

Lawn Making,

Prof n. E. Hansen, Ames, Iowa,
at the Iowa State horticultural
meeting gave an interesting talk en-
"Lawn Making" He said: "Avoid
harsh lines and wearisOme, angular
paintings which have no beauty and
lack convenience of arrangement.
The person in charge should have the
entire plan well thought out before
hand. One does NOS realize until ne
sees it the advantage and comfort to
be deriveG from spending some time
and money in getting the lawn started
right. So far as possible follow NaH
ture Allow for the growth Of trees

De crowded IN few years time A
semi plan is nice for lawn.
Do not plant close to the house, as 1t
makes too much shade and causes
dampness, [ would not plant large
trees as they often fail to grow we'll.
Set mostly along the boundaries in ir-
regular groups; put smaller trees and
shrubs inside the larger. Have a. few
clumps and few single trees. Put
the taIlest growing specimens iD the
middle of the lawn. Leave open
views from the house and in small
suburban laws have the frontage open.

dedication of the Norwegian building
and to commemorate the separation
of the Norwegian kingdom from

Of an English writer who under

the Democratic party will render
British trade by excessive reduc-

with the assertion that a large
proportion of the manufacturing
and commercial population of
Great Britain were imbued last
year with the conviction that the
election of Mr.. Cleveland would
remove every obstacle to the un-
restricted importation Of British
goods. He then goes on to show
why it is unreasonable to expect
that the greatest market in the
world will be s.once again lying at

ridges and gables. This city is said
to contain 100000 inhabitants.
Full possession of this country
would give France a most import
ant addition to her colonial en-
pire. That France should covet
such country and allow no op-
portunity to possess it escape her
is not strange, for France, reduced
and humbled at home, naturally is
anxious toextend her power abroad.
But signs of international negotia-
tions begin to appear, and very
probably the affair will terminate
without a great change in the stu
alton. Russia, however. seems to
be evincing some partiality for
France, and possibly the spark that
will kindle the war for which all
Europe is prepared may be applied

Somebody in San Francisco pro-
fesses to have information that an
nnexpended balance of $4,000 of
the Oregon worlds fair fund is to
be used for the midwinter fair in
San Francisco. Probably there
will be an. unexpended balance,
but there is no authority to use it
for any purpose except the speci-
fic one for which the appropriation
was made. The commission would
regard the suggestion of s.divert-
ingo the unexpended balance to
the fair at San Francisco as absurd.
Only the legislature could do that.

adopt is out oil the question. In
other words, protection has so vim
dicated itself as a national policy
that the free-traders, in the opin
ion of this English writer, dare not
proceed to the length their Eng
lish admirers and sympathizers ex-
pecIed they would. He proceeds
to cite facts in substantiation of
his assertion that the protective
policy has won for itself a position
from which it will be very hard
for tbs free-traders to dislodge it.
Among these facts is the striking
one that the increase in our ex
ports and imports during the last
ten years has been greater than
can be shown as having occurred
in the same space of time in any
country in the world.
The writer in the Fortnightly
Review thinks that such facts as
these will stand as an impregnable
defense of the policy England
would like 10 see overthrown for
her own selfish purposes. The ar
ticle i'll many ways bears out the
arguments of the protectionsts,
and is remarkable English testi-
mony as to the success. of a policy
our traders denounce as a
miserable lailure.-The Irish

AS viewed at the U. S. treasury,
the week began with brighter pros
poets financially. A number Of
recently failed banks took the nee
essary steps to resume. and Comp
troller Eckles lent them all the aid
possible. The First National bank
of Santa Anna, Cal, which re-
sumed Saturday, received in de-
posits $4,000, while the with
drawal amounted to only $4,000.

MIDWfNTER FAIR.

A San Francisco dispatch un-
der date of July Oath, says: cat
a meeting OF the finance commit
tee of the mid. winter fair this af-
ternoon Temporary Chairman
Easton announced that subscrip-
tions up to the present aggregate
$250,000 and that he thought he
would be able to announce at the
mass meeting on Wednesday night
that $3.50, 900 have been collected.
The general expression of the COM
mittee was that the fair is Ger
tainty. 1t is now simply a ques-
ton of magnitude, which rests en-
tirely upon the volume of the
funds. General Barnes said the
condition of things is exceedingly
favorable and that the question as
to whether the fair shall take
place has been answered Ill the af-
formative.
''According to reports here the
people Of Oregon are taking a very
decided interest in the mid winter
fair. Today a letter was received
from VIM. Fl. Murray and w. G.
Quimby, of Portland, saying that
they had been assured by the
chamber of commerce, the board
of immigration, the mayor of Port
land, the managers of the Port
land industrial association and
bankers that strong effort would
be made to have Oregon we'll rep
represented at the California fair.
1t is proposed by them to bring
the Chicago exhibit direct from
Chicago to San Francisco and to
add to it exhibits from the indus
trial exposition now in Portland.
The state horticultural society has
a committee ut work already.
They were to meet the governor
of Oregon on the day the letter
was written and they say that, al
though he opposed large appro
priation for the Chicago fair, he
stated he would make no opposi-
ton to this one"

GIVE US ASSURANCE.

hC oeAN~A
referring to the Oregonian's re-
marks on the financial sounlness
of Portland. says: "There is an
other thing Portland can do to re.
store confidence and that is to give
out i'm some authoritative way that
there will be a price for wheat this
fall. 1t is important that assur-
ance of a market be made" LII
the Independent editor did not
say can give out in some author
itatlve way that there will be a
price for wheat this fall" we
should suppose that he were "talk-
ing through his hat" as the ex-
preston goes. After all, the edit
or is not alone in his supposition
that community, or state, or a
nation can raise itself by its own
boot-straps. Independent action
is commendable; but there is a
limit 10 Its possibilities. The Port
land board of trade represents
Portland in commercial way and
it is no doubt that body which the
editor of the Independent would
have give the required assurance.
Since there are so many who en-
aertain notions similar to those of
this gentleman, it would perhaps
be the proper thing for that organ
ization to pass a resolution declar-
ing that this years crop of wheat
shall sell for a dollar bushel; or,
owing to the possibility of the res
'olution being effective, the price
may better be placed at $3.50 per
bushel. This would not be an i'm
moderate demand, if successful,
and it would put us all out of debt
in a short time.
The democratic party evidently
had a similar scheme OH larger
scale in mind when its representa-
;tiyes were giving such flattering
assurances of better times provided
Cleveland were elected. If not,
the Independent ought to suggest
to the next congress the advisable
ity of that body making wheat a
legal tender. How easy it would
he for congress to brand every
lbushel sack of wheat with the
American eagle and the words on
,one side: g United States of Amer
Tea, In God We Trust, Dollar and
a Halt" 1t might add to the legal
fender quality to print, on the op-
posite side, representation of the
secretary of agriculture holding a
few straws of wheat in his talons.
The word {" Liberty" could also
appropriately be placed on his
sombrero hat band.
While the plan would be open to
criticism on account of the fact
that the action Of other countries
has mnch to do with the adoption
of a valuable circulating medium
Gor the United States, it is certainly
as reasonable, in principle, as the
one now in operation for the pur-
pose Of keeping up the price of the
silver product.
