The number of sheep in the VILLAIN
cite valley is now increasing at an as
tonshing rate. The natural increase of
sheep when not kept down by sales is
very rapid, but this has not been euffi-
cient to meet the demands of farmers
who are going into sheep and large
number have been imported this year
from Eastern Oregon. Almost every
branch Of animal husbandry is growing
rapidly now in Western Oregon, which
is as it should be-

There has been q sudden increase in
the cash wealth OF every man, woman
and child in the country, amounting to
53 cents per head. At least that is the
way the statisticiau of the treasury
department figures it out, though we
can't cOnscientiOu sly advise the public
to get extravaganza on the strength OF
it. The cause lies in the findings of the
census bureau which discovered that the
population of the country was only TO-
S91 900 in June, instead of the 1871
600 estimated by the treasury man.
Consequently the $2,139, 181 ,412 Of
good hard cash in circulation in this
country on Nov. l had to be divided
among only 1881, 900, instead of the
IS 377 600 that would have shared in
it if the census man had not interfered.
Hence in this way alone the per capita
circulation went up SO cents and on the
revised basis stood on the first of the
month at $27.S2 against $2701 on
Oct. /.

MULCHlNG FOR WINTER.
Forest Leaves One of the Best Ma
teriaIs-FalI Set Trees.

teriaIs-FalI Set Trees.
An important matter for considera-
ton is the mulching Of trees. shrubs
and plants for the winter, and such ex-
cellent authority as Joseph Meehan
has the following to say about it In
Gardening:
The mulch which we apply in au-
tumn is to accomplish a different DUR
pose from our spring mulching. What
we do now is mainly to prevent the
soil freezing about the plants to some
extent at least. To newly planted trees
and shrubs the mulching is almost es-
sential, as unquestionably they are
very much the better for having their
roots in unfrOZen soil, and when there
are cases of doubtful hardness shrubs
or trees which are known to suffer in
hard winters just mulch them and see
how much better they will thrive. In
my own experience | have been able to
carry many such plant through the
winter by the aid of good mulch.
In the cases Of such things as have
been recently transplanted many more
will be alive and f1ourishing when
spring comes if mulched at this time.
There is such a check from the trans
planting that they need help, and this
the mulch gives by providing unfrOzen
ground for the roots. Manure is per-
haps the best Of materials to use be
cause it accOmplishes two Objects-en-
rich1ng the ground as well as protect
ing the roots. Aside from this, forest
leaves are the best of ALL They are
easily handled, and it takes very few
to keep out great deal Of frost With
zero temperature the soil would be open
that was under five to six inches of
leaves. But less thickness than this
will answer, as it does not matter if a
little freezing does occur
prominent and successful land
scape gardener whom | have in mind
had way Of mulching large trees set
in the fall which answers we'll His
plan was to procure a half CARLOAD of
soil. and this much was mOunded I'D
about each tree. Not only did this
keep out the frost, but it kept the tree
steadily In place, and better success
than he had could not be wished for.
1t is the sWaying about of large trees
of this character that causes so many
of them to fall. There is not the close
contact between root and soil that
there must be to insure success. When
spring comes, all mulchings except
that of manure are to be removed.
Manure will usually have pretty well
disappeared by that time
Referring again to partly tender
shrubs, although the rhododendron is
not SO counted here, it is one vastly
benefited by a mulching to keep frost
from its roots. The great lot of foliage
it carries calls for the supply of mois-
ture by the roots to make good what
it loses in cold, windy weather, and
these calls can be the better met when
no frost is about their roots.

The Boxers represent many millions

foreigners. What terrible ideas these
Boxers have, and how much more terri
BILE are the deeds by which they enforce
these ideas? From the standpoint of

But politically he is right. 1t is proven
true by our laws and customs. a free
influx of foreigners and their customs,
means the downfall of their political
fabric. We must not forget that our
own American laws forbid Cinnamon
to land and live in this country, and
those who slip in are arrested and sent
back-or mobbed. In China there is
heard the cry, China for the Chinese.
Here the cry America for Americans,
is Just as strong and popular. 1t is a
question with two sides-the boxers on

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLE-
TIN.

Many correspondents say that cot
ton is th~ree-fourths open, some that
all is open, and as picking is pro
crossing rapidly everywhere, the
outlook is that the entire crop will
be gathered by the end of October,
if not earlier. A good deal Of corn
is dry enough to house, and some
has been gathered very early. Fod-
der pulling is practically over To
bacco is nearly all cured except in
north-central counties, where, in
some cases, nearly half the crop is
still uncut no Improvement is re-
ported in the late curings. Harvest
ing peanuts and sweet potatoes is
underway, and both crops are in
ferior, as expected; peanuts will
probably turn out to be very short.
Upland rice is not good, having
suffered extremely from blight.
Many farmers lost all their crimson
clover seed, as it failed to come up
during the drought. The rains have
brought up some turnip seeds, but
circumstances we're not favorable
for seeding a large crop.

The platform indorses the principle
of direct legislation. This is already
applied to the more important ques-

rests upon the sound theory that the

to the will of the people, the more
free it will be from misuse and abuse.
