The county convention had no
other course than to re-nominate A.
NJ. Kelsay as county clerk. Any
one who has had occasion to have
business in the clerks office comes
away with the feeling that the right
man is in the right place when Mr..
Kelsay is clerk. He has made a

energetic, and will bring to his duties
a mind we'll trained for the work.
No better man could be chosen to
have charge of our schools than Mr..
Gilbert. HIS majority should be a
large one.
G. L. Phillips, the nominee for
county treasurer, is man against
whom not a breath of anything un-
worthy can be raised. He has lived
in Wasco county till his reputation
for absolute integrity is established
too firm to be shaken. He is bust
ness man, and will conduct the Office
according to business methods. He
will poll the full Republican vote,
and that will give him several hum

w. H. Whipple of Dufur, the can
didate for assessor, is not so well
known as the other gentlemen, but
he came into the convention with an
enthusiastic following. He has many
champions for his election, and his

with this important Office.
Mr.. J. B. Colt, the candidate for

Cleaning Wells.


Wells should be thoroughly cleane,
should be fitted with a strainer, and
this should rest on the bottom of the
well. This will prevent any consider
able accumulation of mud, etc. In
pumping the we'll out it will be found
that a few inches of water cannot be
withdrawn by the pump, and it is gen
orally gotten out by means of buckets.
Take a gallon earthen ware jar, care
fully punch or drill a few holes near
the bottom, in the nighborhood of an
inch in diameter. Let the strainer.
rest on the bottom of this, inside, in
stead Of on the bottom Of the we'll.
When the water is as low as you can
pump stop the holes in the jar from
the outside with clean rags. With a
shallow vessel (tin wash basin is good)
one man will dip the water into the
jar while second keeps the pump
slowly moving. In this way you can
get out all the water, save the time
lost in hosting and lowering the buck
ct, besides saving the time and muscle
expended on the water that enters the
well during the interim. Solid matter,
if any, can then be hoisted easily with
out any splashing, and the whole job
done in one-fourth the time and with
less muss and expenditure of muscle
Withdraw the rags from the jar, and
in an hour or so pump until the water
flows clear, which it will do in a min

Feeding Sheep in Winter,

A correspondent of the Cultivator
thinks that it is foolish to talk of bal
ancing rations for sheep. Corn and
straw will suffice to fatten them, with
some turnips, if they can be obtained.
Reading farther on, we find that he
limits his corn feeding to one-half
pound Of corn per day. But for a
poor, thin sheep, so much corn might
be injurious. The advantage of bal
anced ration is that it enables the
feeder to give a greater amount Of nu-
triton without injury to the digestion.
By giving a little wheat bran and
whole oats with quarter of a pound
of corn per day at first, and gradually
increase it to half pound, the sheep
will gain faster and be little likely to
get off their feed, as they might do
where corn is the only ration. The
greater variety Of food a sheep has the
less likely it is to be injured. Where
corn is fed whole oats should always
be added. The sheep cheWs it's cud,
and will digest whole grain better
than any other stock except poultry.

Telephones for Railway, Cars.

Telephon for Railway Cars.
An immense sum has been spent on
the deyising of appliances for railway
signaling, and yet the perfect system
/ is still in the future There are many
signs which point to the pro- ability of
the telephone playing an important
part in early Developments in signal
ing on electric railroads. Signal sys-
TENS, as at present used, whether cleo
trio or mechanical, are often too linn
tied in their range, and the telephone
seems to be the instrument which most
naturally replaces the telegraph line
in the hands of the railway employee.
Over a two-Wire telephone line any
conductor or motorman can report a
trouble in detail from one Of any mum
Der Of stations, and prompt instruc-
lions can instantly be dispatched by
the executive In this way much Of
the time usually lost in the transmits
sion Of orders is saved. A suggestion
of the value Of the telephone in rail-
way signaling has been presented in
the experiments on the Brooklyn
bridge, with a view to the installation
of a telephone signal service on the
bridge cars. The proposed plan is to
keep the train dispatcher in constant
communication with the conductors of
all the trains on the line, and make a
collision almost an impossibiIty. The
train dispatcher will sit in his office
/. wearing a helmet telephone receiver.
This will leave him the free use Of
his hands with which to operate the
Y bells, etc. In front Of him will be a
switchboard, with signal bells and
long-distance transmitter. starters
gong, engine room signals and call
bells. On the end of the trains will be
placed head telephone and trans
mitter. The. transmitter will be ar
ranged directly in front of the brake
wheel, so that the conductor may use
the brake and talk through the trans
mitter at the same time. In case Of
anything going wrong on the line, the
conductor will instantly be able to
communicate verbally either with the
train dispatcher or with the other cars
of the train. When the dispatcher
wishes to talk to a conductor, he will
ring up a, certain train All the train
men on that train will at once be list
ening, and when the dispatcher has
called the name of the trainman he
wishes to speak with, the others will
simply hang up their transmitters I'M

stone Dust as a Fertilizer.

In answer to a number Of queries
and criticisms on stone dust and its
uses it may be said that this article is
not recommended as a cure-all or sup
ply-all by farmers. 1t is only one of
the many valuable elements by which
the soil is improved and enriched. No
one imagines that any one article will
supply the needs of vegetation. Stone
dust is valuable on heavy clay soils;
indeed, all soils Of this sort are bene-

James Haslet credit to one-half of
800 bushels, $50 bushels, at 30 cents
per bushel, $54. Margin for profit, over
expenses, $23. ~.. s..E
James Haslet, as landlord, received
100 bushels, which, at 30 cents per
bushel gives for rent of six acres, $54,
or Just SO per acre.
The result of the experiment is very
satisfactory to myself. 1t shows that
all extra pains taken to produce a
7 larger crop than the average of the
state, pays. 1t shows that corn can
be grown for Is cents per bushel.
My land is not the low, black land but
a sandy soil, everything gravel, some
four to eight feet below.
1t is, think, sufficient proof that
systematic rotation Of clover, wheat
and corn, shallow culture and cOntin-
nous, and a proper thinning give extra
yield. In addition to the drouth, had
to contend against myriads of chinch
bugs, and grasshoppers on two sides
of the field, and timber shade at each
end. On our other fields the corn did
not yield quite as much but was
above the average considerably. A
wind storm prevented me from carry
ing out the experiments as fully as l
& expected. The storm was frst-class,
except that not drop of rain fell; but
it lodged the corn, all the same, and
so prevented further cultivation.
Some one will, of course, say, sixty
bushels is nothing extra. We just re-
mind you fellows that have the low,
black soils, that drouth only aids
you, and is a detriment to my high,
dry, sandy soil. The two soils furnish
no comparison Of skill in corn-growing
in very dry years. :

CORN EXPERIMENT.

Interesting Experiment in Corn
Planting.
The following interesting and valua-
BILE experiment. was contributed to the
Indiana Farmer by Mr.. Haslet:
Below find detailed statement of ex-
pertinent with six acres set apart for
the corn crop. In this experiment |
wanted to find out whether continuous
cultivation would give more bushels
per acre than the common practice of
cultivating until harvest commenced,
and letting it take care of itself after
that. Then, wanted to know if one
half the crop is too large a rent to de-
mand in case I wished to rent fields to
my neighbor. So the statement shows
myself both landlord and tenant. 1t
was my aim to hire all the work DONE
to determine the result more fully; but
in this matter l met with disappoint-
ment. The young man that I had
hired for that purpose, positively re-
fused to do the work after the plant
ing was done. in the way I directed;
so young man lost a job, and I filled
the niche made vacant myself; so the
account shows more days work than
1t done by young and willing man:
