Secretary Morton is reported to be a
believer in the small farm and thinks
more people should go into raising po-
tatoes. He says we raised last year
more than 17O,O0O,0O0 bushels which
brought about sol 100000 The crop
was however, not enough by millions
of bushels to supply our demand. The
secretary deals with big figures and
deals with them in q general way 1t
is doubtless true that in some portions
of the country the demand for potatoes
last year exceeded the supply, but that
was not the case in this state and no
state in the union can raise finer pota-
toes or greater quantity of them per
acre. Last year the crop was short in
Southern California and quite a good
many potatoes were shipped from the
Sound to Los Angeles, and many car
loads were shipped east. The shippers
and consumers doubtless profited by the
experiment, but there was no profit in
it for producer. Pototoes were still
drug on the market and ton of them
would barely net the farmer enough to
buy a sack of sugar. Down in Oregon
some successful farmers raise a great
many potatoes each year, and when the
market price of them is too low to give
them fair profit they feed them to the
hogs, and at the prices which have
ruled for the past two years it would be
better for the farmers of the Island
country to do the same thing.

There is Money in Apples.

According to the Monthly Oregonian
brisk demand for American apples in
England and France has built up re-
markable export trade the past winter.
Since last fall New York dealers have
shipped AS, $50 barrels to Europe, as
against 16S, 706 barrels in 1893-94. 1t is
the European demand that has kept
the call for Oregon apples the past win
ter, and it il worth inquiring after and
catering to. If it be true that India and
Russia and Argentine are going to cap
ture the wheat markets of Europe, the
American farmer will have to adjust
himself to the changed conditions and
offer the world something it wants and
is willing to pay well for. There will
be no difficulty in disposing of all the
apples that can be grown in the North
west, provided the orchardist will thor
oughly attend to his business. He must
have the right varities, must keep his
trees closely pruned and the fruit thin
ned out, must keep the insect pests out
OF the orchards, and must learn the
science of proper packing in boxes. All
the world loves big, fragrant, rosy
checked apple. But all the world cam
not grow that sort of apples, and the
larger part will be under the necessity
of buying them. 1t has been demon
strated that the Pacific Northwest can
grow the finest apples on earth, and it
has been shown they can be produced
and shipped to distant markets and re
turn a handsome profit.
While in Chicago, Mr.. Charles L. Kah-
Ter, a prominent shoe merchant of Des
MOines, Iowa, had quite a serious time of
it. He took such severe cold that he
could hardly talk or navigate, but the
prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy cured him of his cold so quickly that
others at the hotel who had bad colds fol-
lowed his example and half a dozen per-
sons ordered it from the nearest drug
store. They were prOfuse in their thanks
| to Mr.. Kahler for telling them how to
cure bad cold so quickly. For sale by
all druggists.

FOOLED HIS LANDLADY.

Young NIiI1ingham's Heavy Correspond
ence Paid His Board For . Week.
There is more than one way of beguiling
landlady.
Mrs Sunday, who keeps very excellent
establishment in Forty third street, grew
suspicious Of young Millingham, one Of
lected the trifiing formality of paying her
any money, and she had prepared to speak
to him about 1t Saturday morning.
But he saw the resolution written In her
face and escaped. In the afternoon he sent
the following advertisement to a morning
paper:
"Wanted-Man Of from 20 to 80 years of
age can secure employment at good wages
Forty-third street; no peddling; no per-
sonal applications considered"
He managed to get in at an hour when
Mrs. Sunday was out of his way and COM
fortably abed At the breakfast table,
of assurance, he conflded to his neighbor,
though for the evident benefit of his land
lady, that half dozen men had called on
him the previous afternoon for his new
formula.

Dor.
But he intrenched himself in mystery,
and only assured him that he had caught
the town"
At 8 O'Clock two letters came for him.
At there were half dozen. By night he
had received two dozen. And the land
lady, whose frowns had been black as
Egypt in the morning, began to look upon
him as a person of note.
She said nothing about his board bill
Monday morning, though he bearded her
boldly in the hall and told her to take care
of any letters that might come for him.
There was an armful of them in the
evening, and Mrs. Sunday was more than
gracious to him. Tuesday he told her he
had used up all his materials, and Dor
rowed $40 Of her to purchase new sup
ply. Wednesday she told the other board
ers she was surprised that none of them
had Mr.. dillingham; business ability.
And then one of them, in self defense,
turned up that advertisement. So that il
Millingham ever does go back to Mrs. Sun
days boarding house he will learn her
opinion of man who does business on
capital of false pretenses.-H York Her

Famous Banuuets,

The hog played an important part in
Roman civilization, and 1t had it's influ-
ence on religion, too, in another corner Of
the world, for Buddha died of an overfeed
of dried boar's flesh. In recent times there
has been more hog at the table than upon
1t.
Perhaps the best livers OF olden times
were the French noblemen of the middle
ages. The modern world has never seen
such luxuries and extravaganza as attend
ed the banquet Of the pheasant, given by
Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, when
he was striving to organize q crusade
against the Turks.
Lucullus' famous banquets We're a mere
bagatelle to the dinners given by Vitellius
This glutton of proverbial memory spent
nearly SIG, 600 day, or its equivalent in
dena-i, upon his eating, and it was not
uncommon for him TO give a little feast
that cost $50, 600. At one of these there
was served n golden bowlful of peaeocks'
brains. Another dish was made of tongues
of the flamingo, a very rare morsel. To
procure these dainties it was necessary TO
send several ships TO the strait of Gibral-
tar and companies of hunters to the noun

With melody Of art

IT'S the steady "ttek, tick, took"

But like its lusty "tock,"
And it fills my soul with courage by its song.
In the storm or cold or rain

As it faithfully pursues its path along.

And no matter il the world applaud or scof0;
That full soon must pass the night
And the sweet and precious light

The Charm In Scotch.

Iwonder If persons who can write Scotch
are sufficiently aware of the great literary
advantage they have over writers who are
not born TO that ability. 1t is no credit to
them that they can do 1t. 1t is gift TO
nature dropped in their lap. / never heard
Of any one who learned by artificial means
to write Scotch. Scotch writer's do il, and
no one else. 1t has long been obvious that
the proportion of good writer's TO the whole
Scotch population was exceedingly large,
but i do not remember that it has ever
been pointed out how much easier it is for
a Scotchman to be a good writer than an
other because of his innate command Of
the Scotch tongue.
There are such delightful words in that
language; words that sing on the printed
page wherever their employer happens to
drop them in; words that rustic; words
that skirl, and words that clash and
thump.
