Cash corn was steady and unchanged.
 Oats had quite a shake up today. Yester- days cash business and 6 continued pood shipping demand, which is made possible by the inducements held out by eastern roads. was the main consideration.

 All London Is laughing now over a bit of testimony that was given in the hearings on Lady Somerset's crusade against the London public halls. Not to be behind our own Dr. Parkhurst when he began his crusade, Lady Henry Somerset determined to take the bull by the horns and collect evidence herself. She secured another lady as jealous as herself as a companion, and the pair obtained the services of young curate of their acquaintance as male escort.

Jerusalem.

The JOURNAL farmer has read and
heard a good deal about Jerusalem
artlchokes as a phenomenon for hog
food and hopes it's rural readers are
taking an interest In the matter. II
any haye experimental with this tuber
in the valley their conclusions on the
subject Of their value as pork maker
would be read with much inte rest.
The following Is from the Lake county,
California Independent, and would
indicate that on Oregon's superior
land with plenty of rain even greater
success could be scored:
Jerusalem artlchokes have been used
for years as food for hogs, being su-
perlor to potatoes for that purpose;
they will even fatten hogs or give
them a good start. There 10 nothing
better for breeding or stock hogs, as
the artichokes come In after the acorns
are gone, and fill the gap until green
feed gets good again. 1t has been gen
orally supposed 1t requires irrigation to
successfully raise them. Mr.. William
p. FllmeV, on his ranch near Middle
town, bias proved that In Lake county
at least, they can be raised on the red
soil Of the hill lands without irrigation.
This ls but one, but perhaps the most
valuable OF the many experiments he
has made.
Mr.. Filmer started with one pound
OF tubers two years ago. He has
replanted the increase and this year
has quite large patch, which is doing
finely. Last year they averaged six
p,unds to the hill. They are usually
planted In drills three feet apart and
one foot apart Ia the drill. one tuber to
che hill. This would make IA ,256 hills
TO the acre, and at yield Of six pounds
per hill would amount TO IS, $50 pounds
or q little over 42l tons. This is the
figure fol hill land. In favored loca.
tions In the valleys, where there is
considerable moisture, the yield would
be more than double the above amount
aud they would mature much earlier
Would perhaps be- ready before the
acorn crop.
The srtichokes are planted In Janu-
airy, and 30 receive all the spring rains.
Another great advantage In raising
artichokes for hogs is that you do not
nave to dig them. just turn your hogs
into the patch and they will do the
rest. Again, after once planting they
need not be replanted. You can
plow and cultivate them after the hogs
have cried quits, and your crop will
increase each year without any further
effort on your part.

doctrine Of the survival ~ the fttest
has chance to work 10" 10 bora 1ssh
such as It never had before. The best
horses are worth as much as ever; fair
horses bring fair prces; poor horses are
not worth their keep. There is con-,
squently a stronger motive than eyer
for raising good horses, and not for
raising any other sort. Tue bicycle

will continue, for It Is a most conven-
lent machine, and great boon to
persons who can afford nothing better;
out as an appliance Of luxury is net to
be compared with horse. 1t is not
beautiful nor interesting. 1t cannot
travel on a bad road 1t is unhandy for
use at night, except on smooth, we'll
lighted streets, It In liable to puncture
and great number Of other ailments,
most Of which overtake 1t at a con-
slderable distance from home; 1t can
carry no considerable load except Its
rider; Il requires constant attention to
keep II moving. Finally 1t is bad for
trousers and destructive to skirts and
cannot be ridden with satisfaction by
man or woman except In costume
devised for the purpose. The idea
that 1t will supersede the horse as an
appurtenance TO sport or the carriages
as an appliance of luxury is perverse
and absurd. 1t will do the horse no
thing but good. 1t will improve the
roads for him, and, in conjunction
with the trolley.car, will release him
from some loathsome forms of druid
gerry and much misuse. 1t is the best
friend the horse ever had for, beyond
any machine yet invented, 1t tends to
keep him out Of unfit hands and re-
serves him for the delight and service

qualified to make him useful and

A sentence of one year IN prison for
j. r. Htockman the Albany roller mill
manager. is surely not adequate to the
offense he was proven guilty Of. Many
man IL sentenced five or ten years for
theft that Is comparatively petty and
Insignificant and does not, involve q
breach Of trust, as this case does There
are in the penitentIary many men who
have stolen steer or horse, and
they get Eve or ten years. But the
manager Of a roller mill that lets TO-
900 or 10000 bushels Of wheat slip
away from him, no matter II he does
not get dollar OF the monsy, deserves
a sentence Of mora than one year.
IL was intimated that owing TO the
confidential relations of the defendant
to some prominent persons at Albany,
he should be dealt with lightly. This 10
the only sad feature OF the case. Stock
man converted the farmers wheat into
money and the men who got that
money 20 free while he Is punished.
That money is lyiHg In the Golfers OF
some wealthy man, while poor Stock
man--who was only q cats-paw for

II is to be regretted that men like
stockman get of with 80 light a sent
ence. Men In the higher walks OF life
seldom see the inside Of prison--eveD
though convicted-And II Is not certain
that stockman will serve even q year.
Some way will be found by his lawyers
for compoundlng or cancellIngo his
sentence. They Will set up a multitude
OF technical defensss before the super
ior court that would not be allowed by
the trial judge. II such men as Stock
man and Lotap, and some OF the
bankers who get away with the de-
