Heart F allure.
NOW no AVOID 1T.

The epitaph on many tombstone is
nheart failure" No wonder, when we con-
slider the immense strain which is put on
that small organ. Marvellous as it is, beating
100000 times and exerting a force. equal to
5,184,0O0 pounds daily, it has its limit-its
endurance often is too severely tested. SO
common are diseases of the heart-though
often for q considerable time without the
suspicious of the afflicted person being in
the least excited-that it is stated that one
person in four has bad heart! DIR. Franklin
Miles, Of Elkhart, Ind, has for years made
special study of all diseases of the heart,
and his remarkable success has made his
name familiar one in all parts of our land.
He has found the most common, symptoms
of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender
ness in the chest, back, stomach, 6Owets, left
shoulder and arm, ShortnesS Of breath, smother
ing spells, tuinting, etc.

Cathlamet is to be congratulated.
She has a poet, and his name is John

de plume we are not in a position to
say. He rushes wildly into print to
discourse on meeting between HIM
self and another gentleman from Ten

eruption ought to live forever. 1t beats
anything that the genial Nye ever
penned;
"Early in the balmy month of June

Where the steamers land and the peo-
pie flock;"
What right had Jones to be laugh

how q man ''laushs tune"
"Yea, we fain talked OF meadows

A SUGGESTION.


A good many people in this vicinity
seem to think that the boarding of
money by individuals is alone respon-
slble for the prevailing scarcity and
consequent premium upon currency
This is fallacy. The action of a large
number of banks which have drawn
current funds from their correspond
ents, and are holding on to these funds
with the greatest tenacity, Is where
the real cause lies, AS a remedy for
this kind of thing why not place our
banking system in Oregon ON the foot
ing Of q union such as Is at present In
existence in all the British dominions,
and in New York city? The coopera-
tion OF the banks Of our neighbor Seat
tie during the recent crisis has been Of
Inestlmable value to the whole state Of
Washington. Without 1t disaster would
certainly have resulted from the strain
to which those institutions have been
subjected in the past few weeks a
lack of cooperation on the part of our
oregon banks has been very marked
indeed and the necessity for the estab-
lishment of different relations has thus
far been emphasized.

Some of our acquaintances are eSer-
clsing on the silver question an intelll-

The monkeys intellect has never yet
been able to arrive at point which
enables that animal to achieve the un-
tying of a knot. You may see mon
key with cord fastened with the sim
plest form OF common knot, and, un-
less the beast can break the string OF
gnaw It through. he viii never gel
loose. To unite the knot requires oh.
servatlon and reasoning power and
though a monkey may possess both, hi
has neither in sufficient degree to en-
able him to overcome the difficulty.

lows that 1t will be secured. The Lon
don and New York City institutions,
whose union is the admiration Of the
financial world, have come into this
condition only after years of bitter ex-
perience. and as a result of much
thought and labor. The formation Of
an effective league among the banks
Of this far western state would GER
tainly be the means of strengthening
the finances Of every town in Oregon,
and, once established, it would un-
doubtedly pave the way for the extern
sion of the system to the banks of the
states surrounding us. Cannot some
brainy Portland fnancier take hold of
this suggestion and earn the gratitude
of every man among us?

Bill Nye explains the metallic money
question in letter to his son in the
following terms:
'The consumption of silver by those
who are wealthy has caused a shortage
among those that is poor. This, with
the export Of gold at a time when the
home demand has been something to
make person leave his pie, and has
replaced for the circulating medium
banks full of mortgages, trust deeds
and snide watches ON which the banks
cannot realize, and poor people that
have been so honest that they have
barely kept out Of the idiot house can't
buy or beg Of borrow Of the banks
that have loaned all their money on
additions so far downtown that a bus
mess man can only go out there on
Sunday, and some has to take vaca-
tion to get home"
Bill Nye missed craftsmanship by
not going to the Chicago "Bi-metallic"
convention. 1t was close call.

some one does not apply to me for corn
to eat, to feed or for seed. Last year [
raised $50 bushels mostly on ground
that had already yielded me crop. There
is no excuse for farmer with land for
not having some corn, even poor crop
is better than none. But farmer who
wastes his time going to town or going
hunting or fishing or to any place
where his business does not call him,
and then says ''Oh did not have time
to plant corn, I had too much to attend
to-" such men always cry "hard times"
and that EARNING does not pay"
If he does muster up courage and really
plants piece of corn, then half works
it and spends his time running about,
his crop is light and poor yield the
result. Ten chances to cne he will lay
the failure to the soil or say ''farming
don't pay"
In Florida the fodder wants pulling in.
July, the very hottest weather, and he
looks out at the glimmering heat and
says "Its too hot to work." and then
takes his coat or a pillow, and COM
fortably fixes himself on the north
porch, smokes his pipe and finally falls
asleep; while out in the cornfield the
fodder is burning up on the stalk. The
first thing the farmer finds out is that
his fodder is ruined and his winters sup
ply is wasted. Then he goes to the
grain market, calls for northern hay and
when asked why he does not make crab
grass hay or fodder he says "Oh [
could not find time to pull fodder, other
work was pushing and the season was
too wet to save crab grass hay" So it
goes we never find time!
Now to get back to business The
cold backward season has rushed all
business into a small space Of time.
Our cabbage to harvest, our potatoes
and corn to plant, our beans and toma-
toes to work out and our garden to look
after keeps us at work early and late.
The orange groves to look after, young
trees to set and grating to attend to, all
come rushing upon us at once. The
man who can attend to it all, do all in
it's proper time and not let any work
push him, is a good manager who de-
serves to succeed in life as farmer,
and depend upon it he will.
Now is the time when all these things
haye to be attended too all farm work
must be looked after for this is posi-
lively the most important month to
Floridians. All over the whole State
every branch of farming is now calling
our attention and if farmers miss this
chance to make crop in Florida, hard
times will be felt in every branch of
business in the State. For ignore it as
you will, the whole foundation to the
success of all business is the products OF
the farm, let them be short and it is felt
in every home and brought to every

be harvested in December or January,
at which time prices are generally good.
EGG PLANT SEED.
March is good time to plant egg
plant seeds in the field where they are
intended to grow or in beds if land is
not prepared for field planting. The
plants will do to set in six or eight
weeks. I prefer good strong plants to
set out for they stand both drouth and
insects better. [ was greatly troubled
W ith the small black ant carrying off
the seed. [ thought of using snuff from
ground tobacco stems, but was induced
to try gas lime. Wherever put the
lime the ants left in short order. [ be-
lieve the lime if properly used will de-
stroy or drive away all insect pests that
trouble our plants.
If good sized egg plants are set out
and the weather is favorable you can
look for fruit to ship in two months
time. The question o. what kind to
raise has now become settled, the New
York Improved Thornless Purple being
the standard.
The continuous planting of turnips,
radishes aDd lettuce will insure you a
good supply Of these valuable garden
sauces. Also plant few garden beans,
peas, cucumbers and a fe " mills ofsweet
corn every two weeks in order to have
them coming on at all times. A good
bed of collards will come handy after
the weather gets too warm and the soil
to dry too raise other garden greens.
Lima beans, spinage, carrots, parsnips,
beets and rutabagas can yet be planted
this month.
THE CORN FIELD.
This is the best month in the whole
year in which to plant corn in Florida,
in fact if not planted in March or sooner
the prospect for crop is very doubtful
in South Florida.
Corn for feed may be sown in drills
or broadcast. If in rich hammock it
makes excellent feed for horses that are
kept up or for milch cows.
Care should be taken to work the corn
as soon as it makes it's appearance. [
have often commenced to stir the
ground before the corn was up. 1t
wants nursing while young and to well
work it from the time it first shows itself
until four or six weeks old is as good as
giving it dose of the best fertilizer.
Keep the ground stirred whether it is
weedy or not and ycu will get corn if it
is to be obtained. It comes handy to have
a crib of corn to 60 to when your young
stock gets hungry it saves many a dol
lar which is called for if you have to go
to the grain market to buy it.

Work for March.

Work tor March.
The crops in this section are looking
extremely we'll considering the short
time they have been planted; the warm
weather and frequent showers having
brought them on very rapidly. The %
% and "a OF February were rather cold and
slight frosts were seen on low lands, but
so far as I have heard, no damage was
done to the crops.
The farmers have commenced ship
ping cabbage and a few have received
returns which however are not very sat-
isfactory being very small, almost moth
ing. Either the cabbages were not
properly packed or the parties to whom
they were shipped did not do the ship
pers Justice. It would have been better
for them to have sold to buyers here.
Quotations of sales from Roberts and
Williams were $3 90 to $3.50 per barrel
or crate. Heretofore quotations have
been higher for barrels than crates, but
this season commission men seem to
prefer crates to barrels. 1t seems very
singular that they should turn right
about in regard to this thing.
Tomatoes are looking very we'll, but
small, and the stand in the field is very
even.
Beans look unusually fine; some Fl slds
are in blossom and will soon be ready
to ship while others are in all stages of
advancement.
Beans can be planted with fair pros
poets of crop up to the 18th of March.
If the weather continues warm with
occasional showers the truck crop will
yet be a successful one, but we cannot
tell whether the prices will be sufficient
to pay for all losses.
Now is the last opportunity to plant
potatoes. If they are not planted by
the 18th inst. I consider it almost q
waste of seed as it will take ninety days
to mature crop. By that time the
warm weather has set in, and even if the
market proves good, it will be too hot to
ship North. Potatoes rot soon in Flor
ida during warm weather making the
chances unsafe.
This is the time to SOW onion
seed for sets. Prepare the ground we'll
and SOW in drills fifteen inches apart at
the rate of five pounds to the acre.
Keep them clean but do not thin and
when the tops get about eight inches
high, roll them down with a roller or
barrel. If the tops still grow rank and
green SOW pretty thick coat of lime
oyer the bed to make them bulb. When
they are nice size to set, pull them up
and let them lay in the sun until
thoroughly dry 80 they will keep. Then
twist, not cut, the tops and store them
in cool place to keep until fall, when,
if set in September or October, they can
