The Coe,inl of the Works.

All bodies ill s. age are gradually ap- rroachiug frtsid..y. When q redhot cannon bel! is taken out of furnace and suspend2d il tLc air it parts with its heat aud keeps on parting with it until it finally reaches tie temperature surrounding it. And what happens to the cannon bail is happening to the sun. The sun Is steadily losing Its heat4and contracting, and the same is true Eof the planets u"d of r"cry other bodytin space. J@st as the Arctic circle is evcl. encroach:ng upon the temperate and equatorial regions. so the final chill is steadily advancing upon the warmth everywhere.-New York Amer ican.

Parsnips and OYSTER Plant.

Among the slow-growing, long-sea-
son crops that should be planted in
very rich soil as soon a. the garden
can he gotten into shape are parsnips
and satisfy, or oyster plant, The rich
soil to which well rotted barnyard ma
nurc has been added, will hold the
moisture better to keep them growing
through the long, hot, dry summer
months, and the early planting will
give a better chance for the roots to
attain good size. Sticks in the soil
are likely to bend the roots and fresh
manure to produce side branches.
Parsnip seeds should be dropped
about four per inch in rows from IS
to "a inches apart, then thinned to
stand about 3 inches apart, but satisfy
may be sown more thinly as the seed
is surer to come up, and pulling the
plants In thinning disturbs those that
are left, so that the roots sre more
likely to be branches and undesirable.

pleased was the lucky farmer that he
ordered five gallons of Zinn s best lee
cream and so well pleased with their

Representatives of wonderful Oregon
came and cut from these vines speei-
mems to be exhibited at the Oregon
state fair now in progress, and if You
really truly doubt nv word, look at
the fruit and go away and repent Of
the misdeed, land that you haven t
learned to MAKE your own land produce
it's full quota.
Understand me, admire Oregon and
intend TO remain a resident so long as
| can derive livelihood herein, but
do dcnore the slipshod methods used
by the average Oregon farmer, go look
- 'ha farm / have been lauding look

gan s sunerintendency but belonging to
F. J. Chapman and if you can find TWO
more attractive plats of ground in this
wonderful valley of the beautiful Will
lamette river, | want to see them. Be.
sides that, look the whole neighborhood
surrounding have felt the influence and
the farms around have a general tasty,
tidy, prosperous look. The method of
putting up the new vines is especially
good, You will not have to stand OH
your head to see under the trailing
vines, neither do you pull great walls
of purple mold up from the ground as
| did in the one other patch | helped
pick; the vines are trained on three
wires placed respectively about twenty
eight, forty and fifty two inches from
the ground. U am estimating this from
my own height and their position, }
There is no great lunches or tangles
as if some careless hand had thrown
the vines at the wire and said, "who
cares" but they are carefully placed
to give light and air. There are no
weeds to drabblc one on a wet morn
ing, though we gently reprimanded the
farmer for spelling our paths, he cul-
tivated every day the ground we tram
pied as we picked.
At four thirty every bright morning
this rustler went from tent to tent
speaking iovial greetings and soon the
pickers were out among the sparkling
dewey fruit, resting several hours in
the day.
The fruit averaged from one hund-
red eight to one hundred fifty berriets
to the pound box and we understand
that this is virtually the second crop
picked from this field, but we do not
ask Mr.. Morgan to vouch for that state
ment. He will please consider himself
at liberty to correct any misstatement
l have made, as it was wholly uninten-
tional on my part
