We have always had the best success
with planting out the medium-sized
tree. In apples, cherries and plums we
would rather have a two-year-old tree,
to feet, that is thrifty than any
other size. Oftentimes the larger trees,
6 to I feet, do we'll when the conditions
are favorable, but if the conditions are
not favorable, following the transplant
ing Of the trees of this size, they often
get the backset from which it takes
several years to recuperate, and the OBJ
lection of planting out very small trees
is that they are much more liable to be
injured by rabbits and broken down by
cultivation than the larger size.-Twen-
tieth Century Farmer.

When our grandparents were sick,
it was their custom to go into the
woods, gather the roots, flowers or buds
OF some welI-known plants, bring them
home and from them prepare a tea or
bitters.
The timely use of these Roots and
Herbs would assist nature to cure dis
ease and restore strength and vitality
to the whole system.
Gentian root was used to restore the
appetite, Rhubarb and Aloes to move
the bowels, Blackberry root and Ginger
to check them, Bloodroot and Wildcher-
ry bark for throat and lung troubles,
others were used to cure and prevent
fevers and so all along the line it was
found that kind providence had provid-
ed i'll nature remedies for the sick.
Mr.. Zaegel, a chemist at Sheboygan,
Wis, prepares an extract made of nine
different roots and herbs that has been
found an excellent ~emedy for Rheuma-
tism, Constipation, Backache and Piles.
If any Of our readers will write Mr..
Zaegel he will send my mail and abso-
lutely free a sample of this extract.
If you will mention the nature of
your complaint, he will also send you
the names Of these roots and herbs,
showing which is best indicated in your
case.
All that is necessary is to write to
Mr.. Zaegel, 107 Main street, Sheboygan,
Wis, and q free trial bottle will be
mailed at once, all charges prepaid.
De not fail to write to-day, as so
many suffering from Constipation,
Backache, Rheumatism and Piles are
taking advantage of this offer that Mr..
Zaegel states he does not know how
long he can give this extract of Roots
and Herbs free.

Farm Management.

The farmer reduces the value of his
own labor by keeping inferior stock or
failing to secure large yields of crops,
as the higher the prices and the greater
the production the better the remun-
GRAFTON for the labor bestowed. There
arc periods when the farmer cannot
perform work in the fields, for which
reason he should aim to get his crops
under shelter as soon as possible, in
order to do some kinds of work which
can be performed inside the barn.

Feeding the Young Calf MIX.


A dairy farmer Of experience gives
his plan of teaching young calves how
to drink milk without trouble. and says
in the Tribune Farmer that he lets the
calf stay with the cow few hours
only, then he milks the COW in a few
hours after removing the calf and puts
the bucket of warm milk to the calls
nose so as to touch it, and in a minute
or two it will drink, and the work is
done. The calf has now learned to
drink like other animals, and the trouble
OF feeding milk to calves is over The
mistake usually made is in allowing
young calves to run with the cow sew
cral days. and 50 it has learned to suck,
and it is hard to teach it any other
way.

SEND BOMB IN A LETTER.
Deadly Art Finds Means of Most Con-
venient Murder.

So expert are bonbmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries TO open it. A
piece of cardboard is cut to Il size which,
when folded over. will fit into an ordi-
nary envelope. The four corners of this
are slit into narrow strips. illuminate of
mercury is spread over three of the Sits
and the sheet is folded and fastened to-
gether. Projecting from each side of the
folded sheet is a little metal strip, or
detonator glued to the cardboard in
such a manner that the envelope cannot
be opened without striking one of them.
Upon meeting this slight resistance the
hand moving the paper cutter instantly
pushes harder. and the result is an ex-
plosion that either kills or mains.

is desired it is probably best for the
farmer to grow the seed and grind 1t

faxseed and linseed or oil meal are
laxative in their nature and for this
reason should not be fed alone. but

A BUSINESS BLUNDER.

business which brings him largely and
constantly in ultimate touch with the
general public, and especially when he
caters to that public's amusement or
entertainment, attempts to take that
public into his confidence on any plea Of
business misunderstanding. or imposi-
tion. or contention, right, or wrong, he
commits an unforgivable solecism.
This blunder was made at the Astoria
opera house on last Saturday night.
Without passing upon the merit Of the
complaint made to the whole house, in
the very midst Of an enjoyable per-
formance, it Is quite enough to say that
no auditor takes any stock in anything

of indulgence to which he has put him

cover from predicament Of the sort is

Astoria is supposed to be close
town." at least to the extent that dane
halls have been eliminated, the saloon
closed hermetically on Sunday, and al
gambling abated in the city. As Il
dance halls alone does she fit the bill o
legal requirement. As to gambling, ant
open saloons on Sunday, there need b
no two opinions Of any sort. These tive
infractions Of the law are practiced
steadily; 50 steadily, and recklessly, as
to preclude the possibility Of the police
and other law officers Of the city and
county knowing nothing about it. II
is a matter Of amusement in some
circles; and in others q matter Of con
temptuous indifference.
1t is up to the authorities to enforce
the law or throw the town wide open
again. There is one fundamental rea-
son for the application Of one of these
two courses; That is. that equal JUS
tice may be done to all who owe literal
observance TO the law as it stands.
There are many, indeed. the majority.
of the saloons in Astoria, that are act
ually obeying the Sunday closing
statue, making no attempt to evade it
or break it; and common justice de-
mands that the wilful yiolators be
compelled to Get in line. Or that the em-
barge be taken Off altogether that those
who are abiding by the law may not
lose the advantage the others are tax
ing.
of course there is but one correct and
popular thing to do, and that is to cut
politics out, and inject a fraction of
Justice and sense into a situation that
Is destined to become intolerable. The
farce is too plain to be misread by any
man in the city; and the common
council. the police commission, the police
department, and the shrievalty. had
best get together on basis of decency
and justice. and work for the public |
good awhile, leaving their jealousies
and political differences to the electo-
rates Of June and December, next.
If any of them think they are bam-
boozling the people they are wretch
edly mistaken; the whole rotten situa-
tion is thoroughly understood, and what
of efficacy may be lacking in the solu-
tion from timely and friendly advice
such as this. may be supplied by the
more effectual remedy Of local option
invoked as dernier resort.
Gambling is hardly disputed by any
one familiar with the real conditions,

limits fixed by the sporting bankers

no one is allowed to play who cannot

yond this there seems to be no barriers,

NEEDS QUICK AMENDMENT.

There is ample ground for complaint
against condition Of affairs which has
long existed at the United States
weather bureau station at North Head,
on the Washington shore Of the mouth
Of the Columbia river, and from whence
the technical data is taken, for observa-
tory purposes, and which is supposed to
govern the published reports Of weather
conditions put out by the federal au-
thorities.
For a year, or more, the machine that
registers the velocity Of the winds pass
ing that point, has been working i'm
properly; in fact, it has always record
Ell that velocity at 80 per cent beyond
the actual stress Of the wind. This is
known at the station and at Washing
ton, as well; but the operators at North
Head have always been under strict or
ders to report, and publish, this wind
record, just as ii is recorded there, on
the assumption that the corrections will
be duly made at the head Office in Wash
ingtOn, D. G.
Upon this silly, red-tape predicate,
the general public and especially the
mariners and those interested in the
coming and going Of deep-water vessels,
are permitted to make an admittedly
wrong reading Of the wind conditions,
which are thus enormously published at
our very doors day by day, and cor
rected BY. the experts 5000 miles away,
long after the reading avails good to
anyone.
It is not only a piece Of departmental
buncomb and utterly Unnecessary; but
it does a rank injustice to the reputa-
tion Of the coast, the bar, the entrance
and the harbor, at Astoria; since 90
