Nicaragua Canal.

Hon. Geo. w. Bell, the newly APP
pointed Consul General to New
South Wales, spoke at Astoria, Sept
D on the question of Government ow-
nership of the Nicaragua canal. An
audience of 2000 listened to him.
Referring to the disastrous financial
condition of the country he suggested
as a remedy that Congress at once
take up the question of building the
Nicaragua canal. Warner Miller
had advocated the ownership Of the
canal by a corporation, but he pro-
tested against this and asked why
the Government should lend $50, :
000,00O to corporation and then
tax the people. The estimated cost
of the canal according to all statisti-
clans would be 800, 900, 900. Inter
est at per cent would amount to
SO, 900, 900 during the course of con-
struction-three years. At the low
est estimate 1900, 900 tons of foreign
shipping would go through the canal
the first year, and the tolls at 81 a
ton would come to $4,000, 600.
American ships would of course, go
free. Taking the cost of operation
at 81, 900, 900 year the canal would
pay for the construction in twenty
years. Eastern authorities had de-
clared that if the price of lumber
was cheapened So per 1000 feet the
traffic in that material would be
trebled in three years, and that if
farmers had the advantage of 6 cents
bushel on wheat, which they could
get if the canal were constructed and
10, 900 miles of traffic saved, the
amount of land under cultivation
would be doubled in two years, and
in addition to this ship-building
would begin all over the country in
side OF three months, and the stars
and strips would once more float
over our mercantile marine in every
country in the world.
In concluding his eloquent address
Mr.. Bell asked the Chamber of Com
merce to memorialize Congress, and
thus do its part toward a grand step
in the history of American progress
and power.

The Kitchen Scraps.

From the kitchen come many of
the very choicest tit-bits which find
their way into the capacious craws
of the chicks, and it not only relieves
the monotony of grain food, but it
turns to profitable account what
would otherwise be cast out and
lost. Bits of bread and meat, the
crumbs from the table-cloth, the bits
of celery and scraps of cabbage, all
are relished by the fowls. While
the fowls will greedily take these
just as they come from the kitchen,
there are many other things which
could be profitably used as chicken
food, if but little time and care be
bestowed upon it's preparation
There are the potato parings, which
are usually consigned to the swill-
tub or thrown out where they will
be of no account except to become
nuisance, These can readily be util-
lied by boiling them a few minutes,
and, while still hot, mixing few
handfuls of fine corn-meal with them
after which they can be set away to
steam When they are cool the
mess can be fed to the fowls, and
they will soon clean up every parti-
Gle. They can also be used without
the corn-meal. Turnip parings can
be similarly treated.

Farm Notes.
Two Young Farmers.

When the proper time comes, and
you have saved some money, start
out for yourself. Don't start too
soon 1t is easier to make a thou
sand dollars now as an employee than
it will be in the first few years of
running things for yourself.
Don't deceive yourself with the
idea that you know it all. Nobody
has ever got to this alarming degree
of perfection yet. 1t is wisdom to
take and keep the attitude of a
learner now and in later life. 1t is
well not to have too much faith in
others, but be equally anxious to
avoid becoming suspicious man.
There is not scarcity of honest
men in the world.
Keep yourself well informed as to
what is going on in your town and
state especially, and have a general
knowledge of the worlds affairs
Such information is obtainable only
through good papers, but for every
five dollars expended for these you
will get the value of $40 to $50 in re-
turn.
Avoid enterprises with which you
are not acquainted, that are foreign
to your business, especially if you
are to furnish the money, or labor,
which is the same thing, and some.
body else the experience.
Keep out of speculation and stick
to business. Short cuts to wealth
are few and far between. The temp
tation may be great but will usually
be found a phantom of sorrow and
severity.

The Baby's MIX.

The care of the bottle itself is
matter of no small Importance; it
should always after use be thoroughly
scalded and rinsed, little soda be-
ing added to the water, and two or
three bottles kept in use, to insure
against the use of one containing
ever so small an amount of ferment.
The mothers Nursery Guide says:
The rubber tube should never be
used on account of the impossibility
of thorough cleansing; but instead
large nipple that fits over the mouth
of the bottle, care being taken, in
case of young or sick babies, that
the hole through which the milk is
sues be very small, so small that at
least twenty minutes be consumed in
drinking an ordinary allotment of
milk-two to three or more ounces,
the advantages being that the food
is admitted into the stomach in very
small quantities at one temperature
continuously, aud in the presence of
the mother or nurse.
Milk should not be allowed to
stand in uncovered vessels, except
as Immediately needed; especially
should it not be allowed to remain
thus in sick ROOM in a room where
there is vegetable matter or where
there are soiled napkins or bodily
discharges of any kind.
Every baby should be offered an
occasional drink of cold water. If
the purity of the water is suspected,
it should be boiled, small quantity
of salt added SO that it will not taste
fiat, and place in cool place or near
ice. Iced water should not be given
to babies on account OF possible i'm
purities in the ice, and it's tendency
to chill the stomach.

Deep or Shallow Plewing.

Mr.. n. w. Blanchard of Santa
Paula, gives his experience in deep
plowing in the Venturian: 81 have
found that on my place, which is of
clay loan, that a system of shallow
plowing has caused the fibrous roots
to come to the surface. Last year |
noticed that my trees, or some of
them, did not look we'll and l con-
cluded to investigate. The soil on
the surface was moist, and there was
nothing on top to indicate anything
wrong. However, l dug in the soil
to see how it looked, and found that
just below the depth of cultivation
the ground was hard and dry, and
as result, the fibrous roots were
coming to the surface. | immedi-
ately had the ground plowed deep,
cutting right through the small
roots, and the result shows, to my
mind, that deep cultivation is the
best. AS to methods of irrigation |
have no data as to quantity of water
used per acre, as own my own sup
ply, but should judge it to be about
one inch to four acres. This, of
course, depends upon the soil. On
my place l cut burrows about two
feet apart through my orchard when
irrigating and allow the water to
soak thoroughly through the soil. |
allow it to run 48 hours, or until the
soil between the burrows shows
moisture. Care is taken to keep the
water from the trunks of the trees
Following irrigation cultivation must
come just in time. Some soil re
auires different methods particularly
if light or sandy. In the latter event
some growers do not cultivate after
each irrigation but leave their
bitches open for the next time.

viii II Wash.

The more delicate in shade dye is
the more difficult it is to fix it in the
cotton fibre; but even the crudest
colors will fade if goods are improp-
erly treated in the laundry. Any of
the goods that are sold as fast colors
whether of domestic or foreign man
ufacture, are practically fast, but
when subjected to the powerful
chemicals of which many of the
washing soaps are composed, or
when hung out for hours on clothes
line and exposed to the bleaching in
+huences of sun and air, the colors
must necessarily fade to greater or
less extent.
There is no doubt that any of the
finer qualities of domestic cottons,
either printed or woven, are practi-
cally fast if they are washed in the
old fashioned manner with soap and
water, and if due care is used in the
process.
Too frequently the salesman, fear
ing to lose sale, simply states that
the goods are fast colors, and the
purchaser goes away with the i'm
preston that the dyes are strong
enough to stand any kind of treat
ment.

LOCAL POLITICS..

Texas Stats Zetung, June 90, '93.
An election is to be held, on the both Of
this month, at which the property hold
ing citizens of this city shall express
themselves, whether or not they are will
ing to issue $4,000 in bonds for expert
mental purposes for a drainage SyS-
TEN and waterworkS.
While we are not by any means opposed
TO any appropriations which are OF real
benefit to the taX-paying citizen we must,
on the other hand, point out the many
dangers that may arise from such con-
ceSSionS, more sc, when they are called for
In large amounts.
We have learned from experience, that
first estimates of cost for public works
and Improvements are figured far above
their real or actual needs; that the citizen
is compelled to say B after he has
once aSSented to "A" We have gathered
these experiences, in order TO prove that
these funds, allowed by the people,
have served, in large measure,
for campaign purposes to retain certain
parties in power and position, even if they
had originally been intended to be ex-
pended for the benefits of the citizens
only.
Every one will admit OF the fact that
when there is loose change in the pocket
chance is easily found to spend it, and
corporations are no exceptions to this
rule. The consequence is that with full
treasury without any direct or positive
pursOse it gets empty without knowing
what values are received in return.
Taking it for granted that our present
city council or at least a majority OF the
same is imbued with real good motives,
we cannot but remind them that the pay
ing citizen has become dubious and
doubtful from past experiences, and 1t
would have been more within keeping 90
avoid, from the beginning any cause for
this doubt instead of challenging When
the citizen is expected to draw his purse 1t
is not to be wondered when he puts the
simple question: for what?" 1t would
have been more within keeping to first
establish some data and facts as to what
was to be expected from these "eXperl.
ments.' proper itemiZed statement OF
costs, which could have been submitted
TO the people before the voting OF the
bonds, instead of saying with grand
flourish: ALLOW this sum-" if 1t is too
much. we will find ways and means to
spend it. We are of the opinion that
everything should be done that would at
all times tend to the Improvements OF the
city and to continue its progress in ever
direction.
But we are equally of the opinion that
this cannot be done unless 1t Is done in a
systematic and business like manner. For
this reason the council should produce
tables in business form instead of losing
Itself in optimistic views which will not
tend to create confidence and enthusiasm
for any cause.
We have neither time nor space to de-
bate the question as to the city's owner
ship Of the water works or other matters
relation TO the same, but will refer to
them at some future time"
