in exchange for large bills, as
payment of checks or withdraw

of the Bank of Commerce, who
returned from ST. Louis this
morning. says the same is true
of the banks in that city and he
believes the same may be said
of banks throughout the coun-
try.
Cashiers of several bauks IN
this city, who were interviewed |
this morning on the subject by /
reporters for the World, gave
the same reason for refusing to
pay out gold. They sail th"t
the evident intention oil many
people who are now asking for
gold is to hoard it on the sup
position that it Will 90 TO a
premium and that this would
put it out of circulation ahd
prove injurious To- trade AMI the
people generally.
"Will not the refusal of the
banks 20 issue gold in Itself
force gold to a premium" Nj.
Rule was asked.
"Gold is now practically 1T a
Iprcmimm of one-half Of per

Naturalists who have studied the habits
of the salmon advance the curious theory
that after the fish are Matched they leave
their river home for the broad ocean and
that it is four years before they return to
spawn and die. This theory has been re-
jected by many Of the salmon men, and
among the unbelieving is Mr.. H. d. Nc
CURE, the states fish protector whose
experience entities his opinion to respect.
Says Mr.. MCGUIRE:
IF this theory is correct, how is 1t that
fish of such vastly different sizes and
weights are caught in the Columbia?
should think that there would be some
thing like uniformity in the fish If they
were all of the same age. However, l ex-
pect to settle the theory one way or the
other very soon. The superintendent of
the United States hatchery at the Clacka-
mas has obtained permission to retain
80, 900 or 40, 900 fish from this years hatch
until next spring Some of these fish in
tend to have marked with silver wire be-
fore they are turned loose, and then l will
offer reward for any of them afterward
caught in the Columbia. Should any of
them turn up within a year or two, it will,
to my mind disprove the four year theo-
ry. "-Portland Oregonian.

OATS FOR FARM STOCK.
Al Present Low Prices Feed This Grain
Freely -How to Feed.

Freely How to Feed.
Oats have long been recognized as one
of the very best giains for most classes
of farm animals. This is especially true
of horses and young stock Of all kinds
unless it be pigs. The weight of evil
dence of many careful feeding expert
ments is against the proftableness of
feeding oats 10 young pigs except as IA
small part Of their ration. One year
with another oats are relatively higher
IN price than is corn in most parts of
the United States. 1t is not alone a
comparison of the price per luShcl, but
of the relative weight of q blshcl of
oats and of one Of corn that must be
made. This year. however, with the
largest crop of oats ever grown in the
country, the price is exceptionally low,
lower than for many years. There is no
reason why farmers should not feed oats
freely at present prices except i'll local.
ties in which tho crop was failure or
very poor.
How, then, to feed is question
about which there is much difference of
opinion. For horses and colts, calves
and sheep and lambs Prairie Farmer
would feed the grain unground. For
COWS, steers and hogs IL is an advantage
to grind IT, Good Cat straw is d valuable
food aud if the feeding is carefully done
there is much to commend the plan Of
feeli-E Shpaf oats. If large quantities
are e.. ut o'ico, much Of the straw will
be LETT uneatcn. Where there are con-
voliicnt facilities for cutting the sheaf
oats Il larger percentage of the straw can
be utilized ly 50 doing. Tho greater
dai-gCr If injury by rails and mice if the
oats arc loft unfinished is ahont the
only reason which can hr urge IL favor
Of thraa Ilng the crop in many cases
There are horses which do no. properly
masticatc oats, b1t these are rather ex-
ceptiunal cases If the gain is mixed
with cut straw, hay or stOvCr, it will
be better eaten.
Young animals usually pretty thor
oughly maSticate theiI food and the
authority quoted has not found sufficient
gain from grinding to repay the cost OF
the work. This does not apply 10 pigs,
however. 1t Is better to have oats ground
if to be fed to hogs of any age. In many
cases a mixture Of oats and corn will be
better than either grain fed alone The
younger the stock the larger may be tho
proportion Of oats. Many insist that
oats alone are much better than any
mixture of corn as a food for colts. The
writer has higher appreciation of tho
value of corn, reasonably used, as a food
for even young animals than have many
feeders, but he would use oats freely in
present conditions. 1t would be con-
summation much to be rejoiced over if
the present low prices for oats would
lead to the much larger use of this grain
as food for the human animal. lis use
for this purpose has greatly increased
within the last quarter of a century, but
it may wisely become more general.

A bulletin from the New Jersey sta
ton, New Brunswick, tells about many
experiments which We're carried on last
season to determine the effect upon pc
tatoes of lime, sulphur, manure, zorro.
sive sublimate, kainit and sulphate Of
copper as causing or preventing scah.
The RESULT, III a word, is that flour
of sulphur, costing from 2 to cents il
pound, is, all things considered, the
best remedy for scab and soil rot as well
that the experiments suggest, and the
suggestion is emphatic and convincing.
Further trials show that sulphured po-
tatoes have superior keeping qualities.
In one series of experiments the sulphur
kept off the scab almost completely
when the standard remedy, corrosive
sublimate, tested in four strengths, fail
ed absolutely to show any less scab than

Everybody Honest with Newsboxs.

However dishonest some people may be
with others, there seems to be an unwrit-
ten code of morality in their make up that
prompts them to be square with newsboys
Since the establishment of stands on the
principal corners from which the newsboy
sells his stock, he may, with safety, take
Il walk, look at IA procession or go to his
luncheon. He leaves his papers and u
handful of pennies on the stand, and when
anybody wants paper he takes it and
leaves his penny or makes change for him
self and passcs on. Inquiry of number
Of Lroprictur- of stands elected the inlIr-
nation that not one of them had ever lost
IA paper or missed "A penny 10y change or
otherwise siace the system was established.

one of them is that the newshoy, whatever
may be his other faults, is always honest
with the public, and invariably aooommo-

What is or what is not good garden
soil is often a great question. Very few
people understand that good soil is one
in which the atmosphere can freely cir
culate. The earth must not allow the
air to circulate to such an extent as to
lose it's moisture, but it must have an
abundance of small spaces which will
contain small quantities of air before
plants will thrive. We sometimes speak
of "air plants, but in truth all plants
are air plants, no matter whether grow
ing on rocks or trees or whether growing
in the earth Air is of far more conse-
quence to the roots than to the leaves.
When, therefore, we have a stiff clay
earth to deal with, we make good soil
by applying sand or vegetable matter,
which when it roots will leave small
spaces in which air may be collected.
1t is for the same reason that we crush
hard clods. for hard clod has no air
spaces. When broken to pieces-pulver-
izing is the technical term-we simply
give the chance for atmospheric air to
spread throughout the whole mass. For
the same reason what is known as wet
soil is a bad soil because water drives
out the air There is no air in earth
which is water tight 1t has been noted
in Meehan's Monthly that the use of IA
hole i'll the bottom of a flowerpot is not
so much to allow the escape of water az
it is to permit fresher air to flow i'll the
spaces of the earth when the water
leaves it. In the language Of gardening,
good soil is one which is perfectly
"aerated. 3"

The Care of Honey.

Honey has a great affinity for mois-
ture, and if comb honey is stored in II
damp atmosphere it will absorb the
moisture through the slightly porous
cappings and become thin and watery
The bulk of the honey will be so increas-
ed that it will burst the cells and ooze
out. The honey may become so thinned
that fermentation will set in. Cold is
also detrimental to comb honey, causing
it to candy in the cells. When comb
honey is first taken from the hives, it
should be stored in hot, dry atmos-
phere. A room in the southwest corner
of a building where it will become very
hot in the afternoon is a good place tn
store comb honey, as a correspondent in
The Country Gentleman explains The
heat continues the ripening process, and
if there are any unsealed cells of honey
the honey i'll them becomes thicker and
ripper instead of thinner.
Down cellar is where the ordinary
purchaser of comb honey is almost sure
to put it. No place could be more unde-
sirabe. Dryness and warmth are the
requisites for keeping comb honey. As
ordinarily kept comb honey will candy
before spring, but by keeping it in Il
warm atmosphere it will not candy and
will really improve with time.
