New Method of Corn Culture.

Experiments in Nebraska have demon
trated. that shallow cultivation of corn
is more effective than the customary deep
err stirring of the soil. -Four acres of
land were divided into trial tracts of one
acre each, and the land which was stirred
to the depth of six inches yielded fifty
nine bushels, while the land that was
stirred to the depth of only three inches
yielded sixty-eight bushels. The theory
Of shallow cultivation is that it does not
dry out the roots during seasons when
the rain is below normal. 1t also spares
the roots, which by deep cultivation are
torn from the soil and prevented from
securing the proper amount of nourish-
ment for the growing plant.

WASHINGTON'S LAST YEARS.
Ideally Happy Were the Great States
man and His Wife at Mt. Vernon

At the time of his retirement to Mount
Vernon. after the expiration of his term
as President, 1.-THE tall figure of Washing
ton was only slightly bent, and he was
still supposed to weigh upward of 200
pounds" writes William Perrine, of '.The
Last Years Of Washington's Life in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Excepting his
gray hair and his false teeth, and some
trouble in hearing, there was little of the
usual appearance of age in his muscular
person, his gait and his strong,' pock-
marked face. He was affable and merry
with his best friends, but while he had
the true hospitality of a Southern gen.
tleman in inviting every visitor from q
distance to his table or to bed over
night, his politeness was generally for
NAL Yet if he particularly enjoyed the
conversation of a guest he would pay
him the compliment of listening to him
until after 9 o'clock, or even of lighting
him with the candle to bedroom for
the night Mrs. Washington at this time
was a healthy, pleasant and unostenta-
tlous little woman, still showing traces of
good looks and with seldom anv other
thought than of playing respectfully her
role OF mistress of the house of a country
gentleman, of caring for the negroes. or
OF amusing herself with her knitting.
She had great pride in her receipt for
making cherry bounce and on a mid
summer day she cut out thirty-two pairs
OF brooches for the men working on the
farm. She had said that she and the
general felt like children just released
from school when he left the presidency.
and she told of her satisfaction in settling
down again to the duties of an old-fash-
Toned Virginia housekeeper, steady as ~
clock. busy as beey and cheerful as a

A Tremendous Demonstration.

From all these people and the hundreds
of thousands in the parks came shouts
Of welcome and cheers for the admiral
as the Olympia passed by. The scene
was an inspiring one all along. Mount
Tom, which used to be the site of an
old fort, had 1000 or 5000 persons on
it. 1t was one of the best points of view
of the Riverside park. The Riverside
drive was lined on both sides with un-
broken strings of carriages. The grand
stands were filled and the cheering con-
tinued from the time the Olympia hove
in sight until she was away up the river.
The Olympia rounded the stakeboat
st. Mary off One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street at half-past 2 o'clock amid
deafening sounds of cannon and cheers
from the largest crowd ever gathered in
this city.
The parade was one hour and fifteen
minutes passing Fulton street. The yes

FRIDAY. sPET. 20, 1899.
LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.

The political ground hog is out,
and although his shadow does not
greet him, still he is obliged to stay
out, for the fight will be on soon
and he must have his snafes laid.
AS is usual, and to us mos singu-
lar, all the interest in the coming
contest will center around q. S. sem
ators and congressman. While every
state should carefully see that it is
properly represented III the nations
councils by strong men with
healthy views on national ques-
tions, yet we submit that the chief
interest in our biennial elections
should be in the affairs of our state.
Oregon though of sturdy years is
still in its development infancy,
and we need strong men at home.
We want strong men in our legis-
lature. Although our population
is less han half million, yet we
have all the institutions of states
with ten times that number of in
habitants to foster and care for, and
this necessarily makes taxes heavy
and burdensome. Wise economy
is necessary and wise legislation
that will see and know how to
strangle jobbery and make the tax
payers burden as light as possible.
This seems to us to be the most inn
portant thing in the coming cleo
tion. Select strong men, your best
men, for the legislature and then
they can safely be relied upon to
vote right on U. S. senator and all
other questions.

just put these questions to him,
and note his answer for future use
if you get one:
LIS President McKinle, bound to
maintain the sovereignty (oyer the
Philippines) in our hands until
otherwise ordered by laws of con-
gress?
Can any power but congress, act
ing by law, make the Philippines
celeny of the United States?
Has any power but congress the
right to surrender our sovereignty
in the Philippines?
Has President Mckinley any
right to forestall the action OF con-
gress in either direction toward
making the Philippines colony or
eurrendering them SO that they can
not be made colony if congress SO
decides?
What is your affirmative Philip
pine policy, if you have one?
