HUNDREDS LEFT HOMELESS.
Many Are Reported Burned to Death
in Oregon.


PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 15.-About
300 people are left homeless in Multi
nCmah and Clackamas counties as a
result of the forest fires that have
ragged for the past week. Fires have
burned over wide scope of country,
but the greater damage in this state
appears to have been done in these
two counties. In fire that destroyed
the town of Palmer, near Bridal Vale,
two boys named Hamilton were caught
while trying to escape from the flames
and burned to death The timber
losses in Clackamas county have been
immense and the whole length of the
Clackamas river presents nothing but
vistas of ruined settlements.
In eastern Multnomah the fires are
under control and no further damage
is feared unless weather changes. In
southern Oregon excellent work has
been done by the ranchers and the de-
struction confined to a comparatively
limited area. Eugene and surround
ing country is now practically out of
danger, though fires are still menac-
ing. Tillamook also has been saved
by the change in the direction of the
wind and the inhabitants have good
hopes Of saving the town, which has
twice been almost abandoned before
the raging flames.

TO M'kINLEY'S MEMORY.
LOVE OF THE BEREAVED WIFE
She Lays the Customary Bouquet on
Her Husbands Bier and judge Day
EuIogizes His Dead chieftain in
Appropriate Words.

CANION, u, sept. 15.-There was
general observance of Mckinley me
mortal day in the city which claimed
him as its own. From almost ever,
pulpit there was reference in prayel
or address to him and his work. Hi!
favorite hymns were used. The ad
dress that attracted most attention
here was that given by Judge William
r. Day, McKinley's secretary of state
and friend and adviser of Mckinley
for years. The address was delivered
in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, Of which Mckinley was a
member. A portrait of the late presi-
dent, aronud which were the folds OF
the Stars and Stripes, emblematic of
his patriotic spirit, was displayed.
In the Catholic church a special
mass was said and some of the priests
made references to Mckinley, they
having known him personally.
Although deeply conscious of the
fact that just one year ago her be-
loved husband died, Mrs. Mckinley did
not vary the program followed by her
for several months. All days to her
have been memorial days. Her usual
trip to West Lawn cemetery was
taken this forenoon and she laid loves
offering of flowers on the casket that
contains the remains of the nations
martyred chief. Mrs. Garrett A. Ho-
bart, who is her guest, went with her
into the Mckinley tomb, and also laid
bouquet Of flowers on the coffin.
Their drive took them to the Nc
Kinley family burial lots, where bou-
quets were laid by Mrs. McKinley's
direction. During the day there were
many visitors at the Mckinley vault.
Judge Days tribute to his martyred
chief was, in part, as follows. "This
tragedy which fills our hearts with
grief has lesson for the living, ana
calls upon the lawmakers to enforce
laws for the suppression and punish
ment of those who teach or practice
the dreadful tenets of this code of
lawlessness and ruin"
Referring to the early life Of Eae
he heard the call of his country to
KinIey, he said: From the high school
her sons and at once stepped into the
ranks as a defender of the union. His
associates in arms, officers in his regi-
ment, included such lawyers as Hayes
and Matthews and their companion
ship. While a valiant soldier he de-
termined to adopt the legal profession
as his calling should he survive the
perils of war;
Referring to the Spanish-AmerIean
war Judge Day said: He determined
to do all within his official duties to
benefit the Cuban people, to relieve the
strain on our people, and if possible
to accomplish these ends without an
appeal to arms. These purposes are
the key to his Cuban policy steadily
with much accomplished when
the lunlooked for happened in the
.Ieacherous anchoring of the Maine,
by which she became the easy prey
If malicious persons bent on her de-
;truction. The president felt he could |

THE COUNTRY FOR STOCK.

That section of country known as
Western North Carolina somewhat on
the order of a plateau, is the culmi-
mating region of the Appalachian sys-
tenn and contains some of the highest
mountains. The whole country is COW
cred with a dense vegetation, among
which are still standing some of the
finest timber to be found in the
United States. Rich pasture grasses
spring up spontaneously, and once es-
tablished the grass perpetuates itself
upon the land. The soil throughout
is a deep rich loan up to the SUBMITS
of the mountains. As a grazing coun-
try it has long been noted. 1t has
been the custom to drive the horses
and cattle into the mountains about
the 1st of April and bring them back
In November. Within six weeks after
they have thus been put on the range
they become sleek and fat. There are
now many fine herds of blooded stock
in this country, and increased atten-
ton is being given to the raising of
fine stock. In all this mountain sec
ton land may be purchased at very
low prices, and for sheep and stock
raising, where large tracts are desired
for grazing purposes, no better loca-
ton IAN be found. These lands are
well watered by springs and creeks
and furnish pasturage nearly the
whole year round.-Southern Farm

RICH REWARDS FOR SCIENTIFIC FARM
ERs.

It is necessary for the successful
farmer of today to learn about the
soil in it's relations, its antecedents,
compositions, adaptabilities and posi-
bilities, as shown by experiments CON
Quoted by scientific men. The pioneer
had the rich soil which Nature had
been preparing for him through the
centuries. He rejoiced in his dover
and inquired no further. It is very
different now. If the farm is to offer
it's best to the boys they must be
taught what investigation has deter
mined regarding soils, crops, focks
and herds.
Many of the scientific discoveries of
our day have thrown light on produc-
tion. They should be taught in school
and college. The farmer who does not
keep pace with the growing informa-
ton regarding his work struggles
against wind and water, heat and cold,
instead of using them as servants.
Rich rewards await the boys who be-
come scientifically trained farmers

tary of Agriculture, in Young Peo-
pies Weekly.

against his will, he viii be of the same
opinion still. When the farmer begins
to realize that in his farming opera
tions he is dealing with the mightiest
forces of nature, that these forces are
all governed by laws to which ne must
conform or fail, he is then ready to
read, not any agricultural paper, but
some agricultural paper that is able
to interpret these living forces.
All farmers who have in them the
capacity to make really good farmers
will come to this bye and bye. The
exhaustion of the soil by wrong meth
DDS will lead them to it naturally.
Let our correspondent keep right on
studying and practicing and his
neighbors will come to him for in
struction bye and bye.-Wallace's

NAMING THE FARM.

Lewiston Journal: We wish that
every farm would be named. This is
not a mere matter of sentiment, by
any means, but it is strictly business.
The one whose farm is known by some
name is certain to take a greater in
terest in its products, and conduct all
of his operations on a better plan. On
every place there is certain to be some
peculiarly that will suggest a name,
a spring of pure water, a grove of oak
or maple trees, Or something else of a
similar nature. Paint this name on
the end of the barn facing the road.
Let it be where every passerby can
see it. Your farm will then become
known far and wide, and will aid you
in a thousand ways. By all means
name the farm and it will make you
more contented and better farmers.

THE FARMERS WHO DON'T TAKE AeRI.
CULTURAL PAPERS.
A correspondent writes us:

A correspondent writes us:
81 tried a year ago to get some of
my neighbors to take your paper but
they thought they did not need any
paper to know how to farm. I used
to be of the same opinion. When /
first commenced to read farm papers
[ got many new ideas in my head and
could not see through them and won
dered if some of these farmers did
not use gold toothed harrows. But /
soon found out, however, hat l did
not know much and now the more I
read the more / want to read"
We do not greatly blame farmers
for not taking many agricultural pa
pers which are forced upon them
through the postoffice or for which
they can subscribe for a mere nominal
price. In fact we have gone through
pretty much the same experience.
When, however, we began to study
farming in dead earnest and were not
satisfied with "the way father did it"
and the practice of our neighbors, we
like our correspondent, found that
there was a great many things we did
not know and began to look around
for somebody that could help us. We
found ourselves often led astray by
agricultural books and papers. They
told us a whole lot of things that we
knew and some things which were not
so, but they were like the common
tators of the Bible when they strike a
hard text, they were silent in seven
languages when we struck things we
wanted to know about and we had to
find out for ourselves and to sift
through agricultural literature to find
somebody who was trying to do just
what We were trying to do and get
help.
Farmers who were farming "the way
father did" looked upon us as a hare
Drained enthusiast. Finally they be-
gan to do as we did and to ask us for
the reasons of things. This is the
way we came to be an editor of an
agricultural paper. Our correspond
ent must have patience with these
folks. They will find out bye and bye
that they need help and until they
find that out it is scarcely worth while
to push it on them. Convince a man

on the place, and taken away from the
trunk on which it grew, would you be
| able to identify that wood? If one
of the horses you are using from day
to day was taken sick, could you sue
| ccssfuIly treat the animal? The same

are helping to raise? Can you sue

ture of the soil on the farm upon
which you live? Are you acquainted
with the various fertilizers on the
market, and do you know what would
be best to use on this farm? If it
were necessary, or if you should be
called upon to go out and appraise the
land, stock or other property of a
neighbor, would you be able to do so
fairly and we'll? Gould you act as
one of the assessors of your township?
Do you understand the way in which
the public business of your township,
county or State should be done?
IF you are able to give good and sat

tions; if you know all that pertains
to the successful growing and market
ing of the crops common to your vi
cinity, you surely cannot afford to be
working for a stranger, no matter how
gathering an offer he may make you.
You should be looking forward to the
timo when you will be a partner with
your father, as he will no doubt want
you to be, or to the day when you will
branch out for yourself. It would
puzzle many a man who thinks he
knows all about farming to answer
these questions, and others which clus-
ter around them, correctly. Hard and
fast lines cannot, of course, be laid
down for all sections of the country,
but every young man should be able to
give accurate answers to them, so far
as bis own part of the commonwealth
is concerned. But he cannot do it
unless he has made the matter n of
the most careful study. Farming is

this is done often during raising there
viii never be any trouble to break it
to work when old enough. By the end
of the year the colt viii be just fit to
Wean and the mare ready for next
years crop.
Before the colt is weaned it should
be used to eat short feed chiefly oats,
wheat bran, and hay. Very little corn
should be fed as it produces fat, not
bone and muscle. Oats in the straw
put through a feed cutter, cut an inch
In length with a little bran is as good
feed to raise colts on as l know of, If
a man has hay made from alfalfa he
has the best possible, but crab grass
and pea vine hay does very we'll. Then
when summer comes if he has a pas
ture to let them run in it, it should
have a shed with a trough in it, so they
can be fed once a day if necessary.
Keep them always thriving, and by
the time they are two and a half years
old they will be able to do considera-
bic in the crop, of course, not a full
horses work. If there are two, they
will do a full horses task. The above
is written for the general farmer, but
will say a man had better breed good
ones than scrubs, it costs just as much
(and no man can breed rats from
mice) so breed from mares and use a
good size.
Now if a man would like to breed
some fine coach horses for the New
York or London market he can do so
on a cotton farm as well or better than
anywhere else, because these horses
are not fit for sale until five years old,
so they can be worked two or three
years in the crop, earning their keep,
and get broken to double harness in
the But to do this I would
advise the man to go to Central Park,
New York, and see the style of horse
wanted. Then he must get a couple
of mares not less than sixteen hands
high. Bays with black legs, without
white I should prefer, and be sure
to send them to a stud horse the same
color, for like produces like, as we
have a good proof in u town. There
is as fine a stallion as I would wish to
see, a beautiful bay, but he has one
white foot and I am told every one of
his foals has one or two white legs.
There are some Cleveland Bay stall
lions in this country, and the above
breeder should find where one stands
and send his mares there, as he would
not be disappointed, as they are true
to color and have been for ages. Now
with ordinary luck this breeder would
have in a few years a pair of fine
horses for sale which any of the deal
ers of New York would be glad to
come and Sc. and write a cheque for
$1,000. IL conclusion wi,n once your
