yarIeties OF Wheat.

Narlctle9 OF nctts
The comparison Of new and stand
ard varieties Of wheat by the Pennsyl-
vania State College Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has been continued
through the present season. The six
varieties giving the highest yield were.
Blu.
Royal Red Clawson. ............. Zo.o'
Forty Fold or Gold Corn. .26.So
Dawson's Golden Chaff .26.43
Century ............ .....'..'.'''1 o''t
Rochester Red ..................z o'4o
Reliable .......... ...........'''1 o'A1
Twenty-Five varieties were tested
the average yield being 22O2 bushels.
There was an average difference OF S'oz
bushels between the smooth and beard
ed varieties in favor Of the smooth.
About one-fourth of the grain was
winter killed, which accounts for the
small average yield. 1t being only about
two-thirds of our usual crop. the
average yield Of straw was 2,45O
pounds and the average weight per
bushel 62.O4 pounds. Turkish Red was
the poorest variety, yielding 1887
bushels Of grain and 1880 pounds OF
straw. The yield Of ten varieties that
have been tested for nine and ten years
show no tendency to run out except
slight decrease in the yield Of straw.

There is but one effectual cure for
sheep scab and that is the use of an
efficient dip says an exchange. II the
farmer will not go to the trouble OF
dipping his sheep twice at an inter-
val of from six to twelve days and
put them ON clean grounds where scab-
by sheep have never been in the in
terval and after the second dipping,
that man had better sell his sheep and
quit the business. The scab can be
thoroughly cured in two weeks time II
the owner will implicitly follow direc-
lions. 1t cannot be cured in year or
any other length of time II he will not
do it. Therefore, it is simply ques-
ton with a man who has scabby sheep
to dip or not. The man who keeps
scabby sheep willfully and after shear
ing time should be regarded as men
ace to good farming in his neighbor-
hood, and the public sentiment should
compel him either to dip or ship his
flock to the slaughter and quit bust
ness. There are some diseases for
which no cure can be suggested.
Animal Excreta-The excreta, solid
and liquid, of horse in year, aver
ages 10000 pounds of an OK, $4,000
pounds; of a COW, 10000 pounds; of a
full grown hog, 5000 pounds; of a
sheep, 1900 pounds A moderate value
of these manures is 81 per thousand
pounds for the horse, SLIPS for the
OK or COW, SIPS for the hog, If grain
fed, and So for the sheep. Total an
nual value: Horse, $40; OK. $45; COW,
$3.50; hog, $3.50; sheep, $3.50. OF
course, all these estimates are sub
ject to variations, owing to different
conditions, such as food, size Of ami
mails, etc.
The Worden Grape.-The Worden to
my mind is the best grape for home
use. 1t Is an enlarged Concord, which
It closely resembles. More juicy and
with less pulp. 1t ripens few days
before the Concord and Is better fla
vored. 1t is not so vigorous in its
growth as the Concord, but bears quite
young, and If properly trimmed the
punches are quite large. The skin is
not so thick as the Concord, and con-
sequently not good shipper. Concord
is so we'll known that it needs no in

Misunderstanding, which results
from eating too much succulent food,
is caused by an accumulation Of gases,
due to the fermentation Of the food
in the animals stomach. A teaspoon.
full of spirits of ammonia in a half pint
of water will usually relieve the
trouble if given at once. II the bloat
ing has progressed too far for thf
treatment, the stomach should be
punctured at the point of greatest
swelling with trocar or canula.

Travelling on the Burlington Rail-
road on the way to Denver, little
town called Atlanta, near Hastings
Nebraska, is pointed out as point OF
interest because of the corn cribs built
there along the tracks. In all there
are twenty-four separate cribs, II feet
wide and IL feet high, with total
length Of 1894 feet, or distance OF
nearly a mile and 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
bankers, who find it hard to lend their
money. Nobody wants to borrow it.

destroy these by narrowing or disking

drying influence of the sun or to the

Plaster is form of lime often used,
though its action in tightening the
soil, making it more compact, or
sweetening it is less powerful than
that of Stacked lime. Hence the value
of plaster lies principally in its prop
erty of making available some other
plant food (notably potash, which
may already exist in the soil. 1t is
therefore not as economical as Stacked
lime, because the latter will serve
both purposes enumerated.

Bad Milk Is Always Bad.-In regard
to keeping milk fresh there is one
point that should not be forgotten, and
that is that when milk once begins to
sour or becomes tainted in any way no
amount Of work will remedy the
damage. In the interest Of his other
patrons the creameryman should re-
ject every can Of milk that is off in any
way whatever. Sour milk or milk
that is off flavor for any reason is OF
no use to the creamery.

LnoIsIAToRs. ATTENTION

The attention q tho members Of The
oregon legislature Is called to The fAct
that an open railway" to Astoria frOm
the wheat fields means millions ., aOl-
lars annually added to ,Ae products Of
the producers Of the Columbian basin.
This Is practically admitted BY the Ore
gOnlan's silence on his grea. Oues-
ton. II fails to answer the As,Orian's
e1haasssve pamphlet on that question
entitled '-rhe Seaport Problem Of the
Paclnc Northwest" ina, shle series OF
letters shows. In all forms. and In
every light the truth Of this claim as
based on the undenIed principle OF heavy
ocean ship tonnage and resulting cheap
eAarters-now stirring the eastern cen
ters to action. The heavy tonnage possi-
ble at Astoria and impossible a, Portland
would secure to our producers a, ieas,
% per cent cheaper charters a, Astoria. or
several million dollars. annually. Of new
wealth for this basin An "opsn rail-
way" to Astoria would secure this great
boon. The o R. q n. CO stands in the
door to prevent this grand result Not
only 50, but the resulting concentration
Of all American transoOntinsn,als on
Astoria would fetch the bulk OF the ORR
entail commerce through that gateway
and make this basin the great center OF
the west. This would soon double the
population OF ne basin. 1t would double
its wealth also. The Nicaragua canal
even. is not half 50 important to our
people.
The o. r. & n. Co. under -Jim" HHls
control. blocks this great prosperity.
Ths Oregon legislature can force it to
terms In several ways. Unless its policy
shall change VERY SHORTLY with
pending railway moves. it is the duty
Of that body to apply the remedy sharp

bian basin. Let Us play for it and. as

The AstOrlan renews its demand upon
the o. R. N. Co. to make Astoria a
common point with Tacoma. Its de-
mand Is based both upon the interest OF
the producers in the Columbian basin
and upon that Of the o. r. & n. Co. It.
self That such action by that powerful
railway company would result in adding
millions Of dollars to the pockets Of the
wheat growers. annually. is now con-
ceded by the oregonian. The Astorian's
proposition. ediIOrially and IN its pamph-
let that the heavy ship bottoms posi-
bic at Astoria and impossible at Port
land would cheaper wheat charters 90
per cent and thus add several million dol
lars TO the value OF our wheat products,
stands undenied by that great and doml-
nant paper OF the Pacific Northwest.
Its silence means assent to the soundness
Of our proposition. This is made the
palmer by its previous eagevness to dis
cuss the seaport problem when the issue
was confined to the relative cost OF
ship expense and train expense between
Astoria and Portland. Its profound 81.
lence now, after our pamphlet ex-
haustively presented the question, on the
new line Of heavy ship tonnage, is a
manifest confession that Astoria as the
seaport would add millions. annually, to
the wealth of this basln-to the great
benefit Of Portland and Of its great com
mon carrier the 0. R. & ~ Co.
Since that railroad cOmpels a common
point rate between Tacoma and Port
land, the justice Of our demand for a
common point rate with Tacoma is over
whelming in its plainness, Astoria is
eQui-distant with Tacoma from the whea,
fields. She IS ia miles nearer the ocean.
She has water level grade from the
wheat felds against ridgy and noun
famous line to Tacoma that adds At
least 200 miles to the distance Of the
latter She Is 900 miles nearer Liverpool.
