GOOD DESCRIPTION
WALLOWA COUNTY
MUCH SAID IN LITTLE SPACE
IN PORTLAND TELEGRAM'S
OREGON EDITION.

The Thanksgiving Oregon edition
of the Portland Telegram, issued
Wednesday evening, November "a,
was the best and most comprehen-
sive description of the states re-
sources and progress ever put out
by an Oregon paper in the same
number of pages. The various in
dustries of the state were newly
written up, mot a re-hash of old mat
ter, but a truthful, up-bo-date and

full natural wealth and. the progress
in the utilization of the resources
of both East and West oregon.
In addition to the special articles
finely illustrated on the principal
industries, several columns of de-
scription of the state by counties are
given, in the main accurate and far
ahead of the county descriptions
given in the recent state pamphlet.
The one on Wa,lowa county is in
correct in only one particular, rail-
road transportation having reached
here only one year ago instead of
two as stated.
The Wallowa county paragraphs
give a realistic picture of conditions
here in small space. They are

Watch.

A Coventry firm has produced an
astronomical watch showing the vari.
GUS functions of the heavenly bodies.
By it's aid it is possible to tell what
particular consultations are visible al
any particular time and the relative
positions Of the sun and moon. It
shows the ordinary time and strikes
the hours and quarters in the same
way as a clock. The time of sun ris.
ing and sun setting is set forth on
one of the several dials. The advent
of the seasons is also announced, to-
gether with the tides. There are al.
together seven dials, four being on
n side and three on the other. The
watch, being not more than two and
seven-eighths inches I'M diameter, is
little larger than an ordinary time.
keeper. Over four years has been
occupied in its production, and the
value set upon the watch is nearly a
thousand pounds.-London Standard.

Beautiful Hardy Plant.

1t is surprising how many amateurs
who possess a greenhouse will lavish
any amount of care and labor on
some tender plant to coax eve an in.
ferior bloom from it, and yet ignore
the many beautiful hardy plants that
might easily be used for the embel-
lishment of such a structure at a
season when flowers are none to plen-
tiful.
Such a plant is the common double
daisy. Good plants lifted now with
moderate balls of soil, and firmly
potted in we'll drained pots of a size
large enough to take comfortably the
ball of the plant and a little new soil
will give excellent results in the near
future. 1t is we'll to stand the plants
in a cold frame for a week or two
after potting before placing them in
the greenhouse, and a high temper
ature and close atmosphere must be
avoided.-From the Gardener.

The Moisture Limit in Butter.

Replying to an inquiry, Professor
E. H. harrington, of the University OF
Wisconsin, explains that the per cent
of water and the per cent. OF mos
ture in butter are the same thing.
Some persons use the first termsand
others the second. The present law
states that butter containing over six
teen per cent. water must pay a tax
of ten cents per pound, since it is
classified as adulterated. 1t is quite
necessary that buttermakers be abso-
lutely sure that the butter they are
making does not exceed the sixteen
per cent. limit.
For the benefit of those who have
not the means of testing their product
for percentage of moisture, Professor
Harrington suggests that they need
have no fear of exceeding the sixteen
per cent. limit if they will wash the
granules of butter with cold water
at about fifty degrees Fahrenheit, al
lowing the butter to stand in this
water until the granules become hard
and firm. Then after draining OF
the water. wash and allow the butter
to stand in the churn some time until
1t drains rather dry. Sprinkle the
salt over this and give it the usual
amount of working. Excessive mois-
ture Is held in butter that is soft and
not thoroughly drained.

Farm Notes.

For hogs rape has proven to be a
great feed.
Broilers shrink about half a pound
each when dressed.
Rape is an excellent forage for both
beef and dairy cattle.
Prune and spray if you want good
fruit. Now is the time.
The shell of an egg contains about
fifty grains of salt of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for shipment.
From thirty-hve to forty ducks and
brakes are allowed in a pen.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs
in about seven months laying.
Sheep also like rape and thrive
when allowed a liberal supply.
An apple grower in Ohio credits his
extra large and fine crops Of apples
to faithful and persistent spraying.
When c%ultivating the plum or
cherry orchard. the work must be
done shallow that no roots will be
broken, for broken roots send up
shoots that sap the life of the tree.
When we see so many farmers
wives with none of the modern con-
veniences of the dairy to tighten her
burdens, is it any wonder we hear so
many say it does not pay to make
butter?
A wound made while removing a
limb heals best if the cut is made
close to the trunk or branch. A stub
a few inches long does not heal and
becomes a lodging place for spores
of fungi and bacteria which cause de-
cay AID death of the tree.
For soiling purposes, or where rape
is cut and fed to tie stock, it should
be drilled in rows wide enough apart
to admit of horse cultivation. 1t will
then grow to a large size and is more
| convenient to get at in cutting. Do
not cut it closer than five or six inches
of the ground, as it grows up again

Planting Rules.

Thoroughly compact the SOIL about
the seeds and so hasten termination.
Remember that rows which run
north and south allow the suns rays
to reach both sides of the plant-a
distinct advantage.
Plant seeds of string beans every
fortnight, so that there will always
be a supply of tender pods.
Forget that potatoes we're ever
planted in hills; level culture is much
better. Plant the tubers in deep fur
rows.
When planting large, fiat seeds, set
them in the ground edgewise. Ger
mination is more certain.
Make sowings once a week of such
quick-growing vegetables as lettuce
and r~adishes, to insure a continuous
succession.
Sow radish seeds in the same row
with slow-germinating seeds. They
will come up in a few days and mark
the rows for cultivation.
To get the earliest c%ucumbers, mel
ons and summer squashes, SOW the
seeds early on inverted sods or in
small pots in the house or coldframe.
Do not follow your grandfather's
custom of planting beets, lettuce, on
ions and such vegetable in raised
beds. They dry out too quickly, as
we'll as being difficult to cultivate.
Do not expect peas to mature we'll
in the hottest. weather. You will be
disappointed. But SOW the seeds of
an early variety in August and you
will get a good crop in the fall. Spray
with a potassium sulphide solution to
keep down mildew.
Rotate the crops in the garden.
Land that grew any of the cabbage
tribe last year should be planted to
beans or some other class of plants
this year. Many troubles like club
foot will thus. be avoided. AS a rule,
follow root crops with those which
grow above ground.-Suburban Life.

Indian Runs Down Wolves.

Taylor says that there Is nothing
remarkable about hunting wolves in
this manner With snowshoes a
man can run down a wolf, whose
PAGES is slower in snow, in from one
and a half to two days, but Taylor
was without snowshoes. All one needs
is endurance, patience and the ability
to follow the trail of the wolf after
dark. The Indians usually hunt II

New Tomatoes For Forcing.

In the propagating houses Of the
Department of Agriculture, the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry has been
making experiments with a view to
procuring an ideal tomato, which in
the language of an official Of that bu-
reau is a fruit without a depression
at the stem end; a round fruit with
ridges; a fruit with the interior well
formed and compact and a fruit Of
medium size growing in large clus-
tiers. The forcing of tomatoes under
glass has assumed considerable pro-
portions in the Middle and Northern
States, and the demand for the green
7 house grown crop is steadily increas-
! ing. This is due, it is stated, to the
fact that tomatoes when grown under
glass are superior to those that are
grown in the extreme Southern
States and which must necessarily be
picked partially green and shipped
long distances before reaching our
markets. For special table use, such
as is demanded by large hotels, the
greenhouse-growr fruit will always
be in demand.
While a number of the varieties
of fruit onNthe market to-day is good,
none has all the characteristics which
would rerAer it ideal.

Good Fruit Finds Good Market.

Although New England is the home
of the commercial apple, and d
leading variety, the Baldwin, has
been grown here for many centuries,
yet our farmers have allowed fruit in
terests of other sections to surpass
them in applications Of the best
methods of culture, harvesting and
marketing. 1t is pointed out by our
leaders in horticulture that immense
profits are being lost through lack
of cultivation and general care from
planting the trees to marketing the
fruit.
First rate apples are v without
a good market. 1t pays to raise APP
pies that are too good to be barreled
but good enough to be wrapped in
paper and carefully packed in new
boxes. Such fruit needs only to be
shipped a few miles and is able to
compete with the Pacific Coast fruit
that comes 5000 miles. All that Is
needed Is good soil, fertilizing and
culture with careful handling and
marketing. Our farmers have the
market for retail apples all to them.
selves, yet produce hardly any fruit
that can be ranked as first class in
the early part of the season. There
is no reason why farmers should not
raise fruit that will sell for as much
by the box as most apples now bring
BY the barrel. Apples at 81 per box
in average seasons would be profta-
BILE, while 81 per barrel hardly pays
expenses. In some years u farmers
would be favored by good crops at a
time when there was a shortage in
other sections, and the average price
of the fruit from year to year would
be at a high level. Both the yield
per acre and the price per bushel
might be doubled by careful methods.

the many devices designed to do away
with hand labor. A Pennsylvania
man is responsible for the compli-

gathers up the dirt, etc., as the cart
Is moving, raises it owe the dash

cart equipped with the apparatus can
