MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS
Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
tivation of the Soil and Yields
Observation-Disclosures viticuleure and
Horticulture.
Some Separator Experience.

From Farmers Review: We bought
De Laval separator last spring and
the instructions that came stated that
the cream. guage had been properly ad-
jIsted and not to change it unless we
found it necessary. We put the milk
in the cans, started the machine, and
when at proper speed turned the milk
into the bowl. The milk soon came
from the milk spout, but where was
the cream? At last it began dropping
in thick chunks (such as you some
times draw from fresh cows) from the
cream spout. / stopped the machine
and turned the cream screw back
l have not turned that screw from that
day until this. The first five gallons
of cream that we separated we
weighed and churned. 1t weighed A
pounds. l churned it 20 minutes and
the butter came in nice large granules
Then l put in a bucket of cold water
and let it stand few minutes, then
drew the milk off. After that washed
the milk out thoroughly, took the but
ter out and weighed it, and we had %
pounds of butter: put it back in the
churn, sailed it, and the next day
worked it, and sold it, and still there
were % pounds Of butter. Now does
it pay to have the cream as rich as
that? How many pounds of butter
should it make to the gallon. Our
churn is small and we do not have to
churn so often when it is rich, but it
is not suitable for table use. We made
ice cream for school picnic and put in
one-half separated milk and it was
pronounced very good, only little too
rich. Will not some one that has had
years of experience tell us if we are
making mistake in having our cream
so thick.

Ups and Downs of Poultry culture.

Ups anu DoWhs oi Touitry Suiture.
Mrs. Della Maxwell says: An old
hen will sit and hover her brood at
midday in the burning sun when the
thermometer registers 100 in the shade
and cluck and call the same brood to
follow her through the wet weeds and
bedraggle them to death or freeze
them in the first snow that falls. An
ugly, awkward, unsightly young cock
erel will stay within warm limits and
feed close to the henhouse until he
grows fine feathered and beautiful and
becomes a pride and a care, then he
deliberately strays off to some out OF
the way place and offers himself a
sacrifice to mink or hawk or hangs
himself in wire fence, or sticks his
head under a moving wagon wheel
with as much religious pride as mar
tyr walks unflinchingly to the stake,
The prettiest fowl in the barnyard will
drown himself in a slop-tub and the
ugliest one on the farm will doggedly
cling to life and his ugliness. All the
hens will lay when eggs are cents a
dozen and it is too late for Matching;
then cluck and sing and cackle when
eggs are worth 25 cents and you are
anxious to get your incubator going.
These are few Of the ups and downs
of poultry culture.

die West. According to a government
report there are 25 species native to
the United States. The genus Delphi
mum, to which the larkspur belongs, is
composed of erect herbs, with palmate-
lobed leaves, and an elongated cluster
of snowy flowers. These are common
ly blue and are characterized by the alb
sence of green parts, and the presence
of peculiar spur-like appendage. Few
of the larkspurs have very wide distri-
button, but some of the Western spe-
cies are extremely abundant in their
natural place of growth. They have a
general reputation of being poisonous
to cattle.
The dwarf larkspur is smooth, SIM

which appear in April and May. 1t
grows in clayey soils and open woods,
from Pennsylvania and the mountains
of North Carolina to Southern Mime
sofa. 1t is especially reported from
Ohio as fatal to cattle in April, when
the freSn leaves appear.
A kindred plant is the Wyoming
larkspur, otherwise known as the pois-
on weed. 1t is a common high prairie
plant in Wyoming and Colorado.
Ranchmen suffer considerable loss from
it, especially in early spring, when the
dark green tufts of foliage are conspic-
uous features of the otherwise dry and
barren landscape.
Another variety is the Purple Lark
spur, found from San Francisco to Da-
kota and northward to British Column

Travelling on the Burlington Rail-
road on the way to Denver, little
town called Atlanta, near Hastings,
Nebraska, is pointed out as a point OF
interest because of the corn cribs built
there along the tracks. In all there
are twentyfour separate cribs, IL feet
wide and IL feet high, with total
length Of 1864 feet, or a distance of
nearly a mile and a quarter. This
years enormous crop (three hundred
million bushels for the State of Ne
braska) will test their capacity.
Everybody seems prosperous in Ne
braska. Nobody complains but the

A MAMMOTH INSTITUTION.

To those who are accustomed to
sending away from home for their
goods it is Of the greatest Importance
to know the character and reliability
Of the establishments selling goods to
families from catalogues. The great
emporium of the John M. Smyth Co..
located at $50 to 166 West Madison
street, Chicago, has been established
for third of a century, and has fur
nished over a half a million homes in
Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm
enjoys the confidence of the public by
its many years of fair dealing. 1t is
sues an immense illustrated catalogue
that should be in every family, as 1t
describes and gives the price OF every
article required for household use. A
sample of the extraordinary values Of
fered by this firm is shown In the Illus
tration of the lady's ulster in another
column of this paper. These garments
are indeed wonderful values, and yet
they are but a sample OF the thousand
and one useful articles illustrated and
described in the beautiful catalogue OF
the John M. Smyth Company.

Dried Fruit In Germany.

In reply to inquiries by the Oregon
Board of Horticulture, yice-Consul
General Hanauer writes from Frank
fort, June 5, 1899, in part as follows:
The import duty of 80 marks per 22O
pounds on canned fruits or preserves
is an obstacle to the sale of United
States fruit prepared in this way. Dried
and evaporated fruit, however, can be
sold at profit. Up to this time only
dried plums have reached this market
from Oregon. Large plums, packed in
boxes holding twenty-five pounds,
bring an average price, +. o. b. Port
land, of from to 5 cents in United
States currency. The boxes should be
lined with good paper and be artistical-
ly labeled. Apricots, pears and nee
tarines should be packed also in boxes
containing twenty-five pounds each.
Evaporated apple rings should come in
fifty-pound boxes. Dried pears and APP
pies are packed in hogsheads. Care
should be taken that the fruit be dried
or steamed on wooden frames, not on
zinc, nor should they be bleached by
the aid of metallic substances, as the
law prohibits these methods.

Soil for Strawberries.-We think the
soil has the most to do with produc-
ton of large crops of strawberries and
large berries. Sandy soil produces the
finest berries, but not the largest or
as many per acre. The reason is nlain
to those who have tested the matter.
If you want large crops, select your
heavy soil, pillow and subsoil deep, then
repack the soil just as hard as you
possibly can, but do not work while
too wet. Strawberry roots will pene-
trate the hardest soil and will develop
the best fruit buds and produce the
finest berries. Constant and very shall
low cultivation is best. Sandy soil
cannot be packed so hard. hence 1t will
produce fine plants. but not such large
crops Of fruit.-Western Fruit-Grower.,

removed by throwing boiling water
over the plums and SHINING them with
the fingers. Let the juice and plums
boil together for about 20 minutes,

Loose on the
Fourth.
H0RRIBLES And FIREWORKS.

Arrange a Big Pro-
gram Of Fun.
H0RRIBLES and FIREWORKS.

Webster, June 1.-THE board of Sc
lectmen at their weekly meeting last
night selected Representative Joseph R,
Love, Patrick Prout and John Stevens
a committee to assume charge of the
celebration on the Fourth. The board
transacted no other important bust
ness, with the exception of drawing a
few orders.
1t now becomes a serious question
where the fireworks viii be burned on
the evening of the Fourth. Beacon
Park seems to be best adapted for the
display The town at its recent town
meeting raised and appropriated $3.50
for fireworks.
The seIectmen have been seen by the
Webster correspondent of The Spy and
they personally and not officially say
that they have no option, and they say
Beacon Park suits them as well as any
place Last year the committee chose
Fenner Hill to set off the fireworks,
and while it suited those living on that
street and it's vicinity, many would
rather have seen the display al the
lake. where everything is of advantage
to those operating the fireworks as
well as the many spectators.
The same committee of last year
was reappointed by the board this
year-Michael Schofield, Thomas L.
