THE BOAT RAILWAY.
Right of Way for The Dalles Improve
ment Has Been Secured.

1t has been several months since any
thing was mentioned concerning the
boat railway at The Dalles, Gays the
Oregonisn. It is learned at the war de-
partment that the right of way has been
about all acquired, and now arrange
ments are in progress between the gov
ernment and the railroad company for
the purpose OF adjusting the differences
existing, 30 that a complete right of way
can be established. There are many
officials in the war department, how.
ever, who believe that a boat railway
will never be built, and that if any inn
provement is made at The Dalles it will
have to be by the construction of a canal
and locks. Although engineers have
passed upon the feasibility of boat
railway, there are yet many who doubt
it's practicability or success as a perma
nent improvement. A canal and locks
would always be permanent improve
ment, and would cost much less fol
operation than boat railway.

There seems to be but one correct
styIe for this country in the matter Of

which is deemed the most serviceable.
The most popular ring is of medium
size-a little less than quarter of an
inch wide-though in effect much mar

for very narrow or very broad band,

a crop means using up all available
cash # not running into debt. In any
and all branches of farming the first
principle is to produce on the farm,
as far as possible, all the food needed
by the family and stock. This done,
only the money crops are to be con-
sidered, and if two or three are prop
erly studied they can Be managed as
we'll as 4 single speciality crop. Then.
too, if stock is kept, the common
sense farmer will try and grow such
crops as will be readily marketable,
yet nave some portion for stock food,
and leave the ground to be utilized
either for a second market crop or a
cattle food crop. Thus, early peas
will give a crop Of vines for stock
feeding and the ground can be put in
turnips and afterwards seeded to win
ter rye, which will furnish an early
spring green crop to the stock. AS
fast as the rye is cut the lard may
be sown to peas and oats for late
green food if the pasture is likely to
be scant, or to fodder corn or to bar
ley for fall feeding. The soil at all
times kept to the highest point of fer
tility, the stock fed a variety Of food
grown on the place, tEle family fully
supplied with fruits and vegetables in
season and the money crop that which
is best understood and best marketed,

In the end this would prove better
than using Paris green, if it were not
that some neighbor would not per-
form the work. The result would be
that the old bugs will fly from one
field to another, and the diligent work
of one farmer will be neutralized by
the carelessness of another. Under the
circumstances it seems that some law
ought to be passed to make the killing
of potato bugs compulsory. In many
States farmers have to destroy certain
roxious weeds before they go to seed
under the penalty Of heavy fine.
Would it not be as just to compel ev'

tato bugs In the spring, and prevent
the old ones from wintering in your

A good way is to go over the potato

bushel or two Of the small potatoes
and distribute them over the field.

EASY METHOD OF BLASCHING
CELERY,

The common and laborious process
Of earthing up and winter storage
Of celery is doubtless great obstacle
in the way Of its culture by many
busy farmers. This easy method of
blanching, at least for moderate sup
plies, is suggested, Which does away
altogether with the necessity of
trenches or banking. If intended for
winter blanching, about the middle
of November the plants are taken up
on a dry day and placed in vater-tight
troughs or other vessels in Il quits
dark cellar, the plants standing erect
and closely together. Enough water
is poured on the roots to cover them,
and the supply is continued through
the winter as 1t eTaporates. This
constitutes the entire labor. Tn
stalks are gradually and handsomely
blanched in the darkness, nd many
new ones spring up during the winter
months, especially If the apartment IS
not very cold, and these new shoots

RESTORING WORN OUT" LAND

Whether it will pay to restore ter-
tility to land from which it has been
exhausted by cropping, depends much
on its original character. If it had at
first good proportion Of potash and
phosphate, it is probably rather heavy
in texture, and much of this mineral
plant food is locked up in clods, rs
cultivation while the soil was wet will
inevitably make. Subdue these sods
by thorough cultivation through one
year. and the next spring give good
seeding with clover. and it will effect
a greet change. even if no manure IS
applied But in all cases where Land
imposed to be exhausted is to be
seeded with clover, some mineral fer
tilizer in available form should also be
applied.
