Dairying VS.. Wheat Growing.

A barbecue and picnic was held
at Stayton last Saturday in dedi-
cation of the new cheese factory
just completed there. DR.. Witty
co1nbe was the principal speaker
of the occasion, and he devoted
his remarks to the subject of
dairying. The former sys-
tenn of shipping ;grain,' said
he, ''is selling the fertility of the
soil, while dairying builds up the
soil and it gets better all the time.
One ton of wheat, worth $25,
takes $3.50 worth of plant food,
while one ton of butter, worth
$500, takes less than so cents
worth of fertility.''
Referring to two-years' expert
ence in soiling at the o A c, DR..
Withvcombe said:
One acre of crimson clover,
2A acres of alfalfa and 2 Il acres
of Canada field peas and oats,
furnished the rough feed for II
head of cattle-mostly dairy
cows-and rs head of hogs from
May IS to July 81, and at the
present time there are at least
three tons of green alfalfa, the
third crop, ready for cutting.
AS near as can be arrived at.
the cost of soiling, as compared
with pasturing, for herd of ten
cows, the additional cost would
be approximately 80 cents for
the herd, OF three cents per day
for COW. With a larger herd
this expense would be reduced.
This includes labor but not ma
chinery.
Figuring on a basis of 30
pounds of milk a day per COW
4 per cent milk-wouid yield
$4,000 pounds of milk; and but

would amount to $3.50. 20 for the

for feeding swine, which would

FOR STAMP COLLECTORS.

There are said to be 15,94S different
postage stamps in existence, not
counting varieties Of shades, paper or
watOrmarkG.
The first two-cent United States en-
velope was issued in 1853. 1t had the
words ~. s. Postage" in the label, and
the head Of Jackson. In 1894 this was
changed TO read ~. S. Post" in tho
upper label Each kind was printed
on both buff and orange paper, and
there were two dies Of each year. In
1868 one die has the figure "2" smaller
than the other, and in 1854, one die Ii
two MN. wider than the other.
Stamps have ceased to be certificates
of postage paid" long ago. Numerals
have disappeared and an occasional re-
appearance of these artless stamps
has been scorned more or less. All the
countries of the globe contend in beau
tiful artistic designs not only. but let
their stamps speak to the world. They
present their famous men, they tell
us about their change Of rulers or the
mode OF government, or OF their
botany or commerce, and they an
nounce to the general public Of the
world great events as happenings In
their countries.
Our philatelists will be interested to
hear that in France O complete new
series Of stamps is to be issued early
in 1903 and that the standard design
will be the same as on the new French
coinage. This compliment to NJ. Roty,
the designer Of the new coinage, was
accompanied by the offer Of a large
fee for the use Of the design ON the
stamps, but he was so pleased with
the tribute to his artistic abilities that
he declined to accept any further re-
Enumeration. 1t is learned that the
reason for the new series, while based
on the desire for an artistic improve
ment on the present one, has actual.

constant complaints against the yell

which lies from 500 to 1900 feet below the hill crests. The oasis is less than three miles in length and not much over a mile in width at its broadest part Scattered over this little space are about 100000 date palm trees which constitute the wealth of. the little community.
 The business affairs of the oasis are administered by the general assembly of all the villages, which usually meets only four times a year The mosques and schools are famous throughout the northern Sahara and are frequented by students and the pious from far and near.
 As the oasis lies close to the Algerian frontier, it has for years served as a refuge for rebels and deserters from the French colony, and thus acquired po- litical importance out of all proportion to it's size and population. It.is not very likely that the French will annex the oasis, for they are now currying favor with the Moroccan government. They are very eager to have influence in the political affairs of that country and to build railroad through the great east and west valley of Morocco into Algeria
 They have, however, taught the na- lives lesson which the latter are not likely soon to forget

THEY DIVIDE FAIRLY
Tomcat and Owl Have Formed Queer,
 Partnership.
The Feline. Catches Frogs, the Bird GobbIes Up Field MoIes, and Then the Pair Exchange
 the Deficiencies.

A Vermont correspondent of the New York World says that Jerome Perley, who came from Fitchburg, Mass, late last winter to carry on an abandoned farm in the hills above Ty- son village, has tomcat which has struck up a strange acquaintance with barn owl. The cat and owl have vir- tually formed partnership, and at night, after MT. Perley and his family have retired, the howls of one and the hoots of the other can be heard at in- tervals until daylight.
 The tomcat, which glories in the name of Whiskers, had never been in the open until he arrived in Tyson. He was born and raised in the city, and for nearly two weeks after the family reached the farm he could not be in duced to go more than dozen rods from the barn Or house.
 His timidity, however, gradually dis appeared, and when the pantry, cellar and corn cribs had been freed from mice and the ground began to warm up, Whiskers took heart and started 8 series of nocturnal expeditions into the fields. He was pleasantly surprised to find among the grass hummocks many mole holes, in each of which dwelled a family of moles. Tn catdom these anil mals are considered on par with quails on toast, and Whiskers grew fat.
 Not comprehending that demand is frequently in excess of the supply Whiskers dined liberally, taking no thought for the morrow. until one fine night he awoke to the fact that moles were getting scarce. The field in which the moles lived was searched carefully, ad finally, when there were no more of

LONDoN's AMBULANCEs.
Tho Service Is Far short of What the Great City Stands i'm Sore
 Need Of.

One of the most urgent needs of the metropolis is a properly organized and well-equip municipal ambulance service. says the London Express.
 London is the only great European city which is lacking in an effective service of this kind, and there is no European city in which 1t is wanted more, for, according to the latest re- turns, there is an average of 500 serious street accidents every week in the year, and of these the police ambulances can deal with only 200 at the outside.
 The metropolitan asylums board has
 complete horsed Ambulance service in xistence, maintained in high state of efficiency, in order to meet sudden out breaks of infectious diseaee. Under nor nal circumstances, however, the ser vice is far larger than the requirements, and the board is accordingly planning to extend this into regular municipal service.
 In London there is no uniform system for dealing with street accidents: no ecentfal authority controlling ambu- lances and keeping in close touch with the hospitals Even the telephone is unknown as an adjunct to the haphaz- ard systems which exist. Thus the London hospital receives twice the num- Der of accident cases in our anticipated ambulances.

PROPER CARVING OF FOWLS.
Illustration of the scrfpturaI Method by Monk for Ills
 Hostess.

"A scrfptural method of carving fowls when in secular company was claimed by witty monk, who, having been asked to carve one day, said: 'Inasmuch as you demand 1t, will carve the fowl ac- cording to biblical principles" 'sYes,' exclaimed the hostess, fact according to the scriptures"
 The theologian therefore began the carving, relates the Chicago Daily News. The baron was rendered the head of the fowl. the baroness the neck, the two daughters a wing apiece, and the two sons first joint, the monk retaining the remainder. According to what in depreciation do you make such dt- vision?" inquired the host of his confess. or, as he regarded the monks heaping plate and the scant portions doled out to the family. From an interpretation of my own," replied the monk. "As the master of your house the head belongs to you by right; the baroness. being most near to you should receive the neck, which is the nearest to the head; ; in the wings the young girls will recog- nize a symbol of their mobile thoughts, that fly from one desire to another; as to the young barons, the drumsticks they have received will remind them that they are responsible for supporting your house. as the legs Of the capon Mip- port the bird itself"

TRANCE IN SAHARA.
Warfare Being Pushed Against De-
 liant and Ugly Natives.
Agsressive and WeII-Armed Troops of Algerian Government Soon Overpower and Subdue
 Oasis Inhabitants.

The French governor of Algeria went, a few weeks ago, on mission to the lit- tie oasis of Figuig, a green spot on the edge of the Sahara, belonging to Mo- rocco, a few miles west of the Algerian frontier. Beingso near the French pos sessions. France has for years exerted some influence over Figuig:
 The governor was therefore very much astonished when he and his escort reached the hills overlooking the oasis to be received by the natives with fu- gillade. He had not provided for this kind of reception and retired in good order, but with his official dignity very much rud1ed, says the New York Sun.
 The Algerian government at once sent 5000 men by rail from Gran to punish the natives who had thus insulted the French flag. The railroad took the troops to within short march of the oasis and on Monday, June 8. itwas at tackled, the natives were put to flight. and they were expected humbly to sue for peace.
 The oasis is very small and has only about 15,000 inhabitants. They have had a great reputation for prowess and had held the belief that if 1t came to blows they could whip the French. The fact that France had not seized the oasis contributed to their conviction that France would not dare to attack 1t. They have been undeceived.
 The dispatches have been little con- fused with regard to the nomenclature of this small district. There is no set clement called Figuig, the name being applied only to the oasis itself
 The largest of the nine settlements is Zenaga, at the southwest corner, which is the seat of the local government, and the large mosque, now destroyed by Brench guns, was very conspicuous object. It was upon Zenaga that those guns were turned and. according to all reports, the other settlements were not molested
 The oasis occupies the worst possible position for defense. It is entirely sur- rounded by hills, and as the natives had not occupied any part of this wall which looks down upon their verdant area they were of course wholly at the mercy of any aggressive and well armed troops that might climb the hills.
