France Deals With lnebriety,

eminent circles over the increase in
the drinking habit and are disposed
to charge the alarming augmentation
in the number of lGnatics to this
cause 1t is urged that the fondness
for drink is exercising generally
deteriorating effect on the nation, and
for this reason the French ministry
is planning vigorous campaign
against the evil Circulars will be
sent to the 10000 mayors of France,
in which they will be urged to strict
ly enforce the ordinances covering the
offense of drunkenness. Under these
regulations the inebriated one will be
fined from 20 cents to 81. If he of
tends again within a year he will be
imprisoned three days. The third
transgression brings six days impris-
onment and a fine of from 16 to 800
francs. While a fourth offense in
wolves a months Imprisonment and a
fine of 800 francs, and if the offense
has any specially aggravating feat
ures the accused may be deprived of
the right to hold public office. 1t is
further planned to limit the number

Potatoes and Manure.

Manure that has been we'll decom-
posed can be used in connection with
ashes, potash salts, finely ground bone
or superphosphate at time OF applica-
ton on the soil. Potatoes are yery diff
ferent in their mode of growth from
corn and are expected to keep well dur
ing the winter. 1t is not necessary 10
mention how and when potatoes should
be planted. in detailed manner. for
every farmers experience has taught
him how such work should be per-
formed, but there are certain methods
of manuring that have been in custom
for years which would be changed II
the farmer would consider the needs
and requirements of his crop while IT
is expected to do what he wishes. The
SureSt plan. then, is to experiment on
small plots, in several ways. and each
grower win then better understand the
condition OF his soil. Formerly II was
supposed that an application of lime
would benefit the potato crop. but i'm
recent years 1t has been discovered that
lime favors the condition for scab. and
that to avoid disease great care should
be taken In procuring seed from a local
ity free from disease affecting the Do
tato crop. while il Is also an advantage
TO plant on a new location for potatoes
every year.

Early Green Foods for Live stock.


Corn is an excellent fodder crop, but
the best fodder crop is that consist
ms of small, tender stalks, which are
usually juicy and succulent In order
tc add to the quality the fodder should
be sown thickly In rows, and cut when
quite green. Some prefer to cut corn
fodder when the corn is in tassel, and
others at the time the young corn be-
gins to fill out, when it is cured, stored
and fed, after being cut into small
lengths. 1t is suggested, however, that
corn can be cut when about three feet
high and tied in bundles. The advan-
tage of this method is that two crops
may be sown the same season. and If
properly cured and stored it does not
crumble so readily. 1t is an excellent,
clean fodder for horses, and may be
Led in the bundle, or cut into short
lengths. Peas answer best early IN the
season, and are suitable for cattle and
sheep. They are usually sown with
oats and fed directly from the field to
the stock, in the yards under the soil
ing method. Such crop may be fed
az gotten out of the way for a late
corn fodder crop. or for turnips. n
attempting to grow two crops on the
same location, however. the land must
be MANFRED heavily, or it will be in
jured, though the exhaustion will not
be so great as when such crops are al
lowed TO mature and produce seeds.

The Logan Berry.

This hybrid berry, originated some
years ago in California, bids fair to
displace in the markets of the Pacific
coast the old Lawton blackberry, and
to some extent the red raspberry. The
hybrid is a cross between the two, and
combines the good qualities of both.
1t is very popular with housewives, the
vines are enormously prolific and
propagate readily, and the cultivation
on an extensive scale for the markets
OF the Pacific northwest is planned.
This berry shows a wonderful evolu-
ton in the fruit industry within few
years. While the strawberry has no
rival as an uncooked table berry, an
abundance Of logan berries would make
is possible to do without blackberries
and raspberries-even including the
wild blackberry - without missing
them. The development of this berry
and the rapidly with which it has
come into market would be phenomenal
had not the experiment of Luther Bur
bank in the plant world during the last
ten years have made anything possible
in this line.-Oregonian
