Whitewashiug the Henhouse.

1t is hardly worth while to paint the
henhouse, which is usually cheap
structure, made warm and comforta-
'ble but not stylish. But at the time of
spring cleaning it should never fail to
get a good whitewashing, both inside
and outside, except the roof. 1t will
destroy all the smaller lice and all the
eggs that would hatch If this or oil
were not applied to them. The white
wash is an excellent thing in winter
also, as it makes the henhouse lighter.

Heavy soiI Best for Fruit.

Owing to its earliness and the ease
with which 1t is cultivated, 1t was nat
ural that for a long time sandy soil
should be preferred by the fruit grow
er. But 1t is becoming understood that
well underdrained, heavy soils can be
worked nearly or quite as early as
sandy soils, and these are much richer
in the mineral elements of plant food
that are essential in perfectlng fruit Of
any kind. In many Of the winter fruits
the easiness of ripening on light soil
becomes a disadvantage, as 1t makes
late fall and early winter fruits of vari-
cites that, when grown on heavier soil,
should be kept in good condition until

STRENGTHENING Crooked Streams.

1t does not matter much how crooked
the little stream may be that meanders
through pasture lands. But If II is to
be cut for hay, or especially If 1t is de-
sired to use the land for blowing, it is
important to have the brook straight
ened, so as to take as little room as pos
sible. In many places straight, deep
ditch, cut to lead off stream that only
runs in the spring, may be profitably
turned into an underdrain. The con-
venience of blowing over 1t and the
land saved will make Ii pay.

Making Hor.e. Eat SLOWLY,

eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. A good way to compel
slow eating is to mix with the grain a

horse to gather his food slowly. A still
better way is to grind the grain and

board In each county, as the basis upon
which that county proposes to levy its
own taxes for county purposes, In or
der TO equitably distribute the states
taxes, the state edualisers exercise their
Judgment in grading down or raising
as the case may be. certain specific
items OF taxation appearing on these
various rolls, after a careful compari.
son OF all the rolls with each other.
This Is the extent OF the board's author
ity TO alter the assessment previously
agreed TO by the county, and that Is
all the board has ever done In this or
any other year
1t can thus be readily seen that In the
case of Clatsop county the state board
has simply exercised its prerogatlve to
tighten clatsop's proportion of state
taxes for 1896 few hundred dollars
less as compared with that Of Multno-
nah county. And as to the oregonian's $
allegation that the reduction made by
the state board in Clatsop's assessment
is equivalent TO an admission by her
own citizens that the value OF their
property has declined, this doubtless
has reference TO the fact that the men,
ber of the board from this district hap
pens TO be a resident of Clatsop county.
Passing the imputation thus cast on
the intelligence and honesty OF the 9TH
er members OF the board. the Astorian
has only to say that in view OF the
nature OF It's duties as here explained.
and the system under which the board
is organized and conducts its labors,
such a charge is utterly silly.
In Multnomah. on the contrary. the
difference Of over $ll.OOO,OOO noted be-
tween the returns made by its own
board in 1895 and the return made in
1886. evidence Is really furnished by Its
own citizens tending to show a depre-
citation in values in that county which
is either so alarming as to entitle them
to the sympathy OF other and more
prosperous sections OF the state or else
they are guilty OF a deliberate and
scandalous attempt TO shirk their right
tul share in the support OF the state
government which will bring down
upon their heads the contempt and NAL
ediction Of every other county.
We would advise the oregonian to
say nothing further OF an offensive ma
ture against Mr., wingate. nor concern
ing the depreciation Of property in AS
toria, as confessed by its own citizens
in the unprejudiced assessment fixed by
the state board of equalization-othe
wise It may be shocked to find the news

but also as a means of preventing and
curing malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bill
