Toousands of people ha% assembled in Capitol Park, and all the school children weredrawn up in line on either side of the broad walk leading up to the grand stand, and as the President was escorted through the line he was ted with flowers, After the speechmak- ng the President held a short reception in Governor Markham's office, after which the party left for Oakland, the battery firing « another salute as the train started, The President's special train stopped a few minutes at Benicia, and a woral tribute in the shape of a cannon was nted to the President by the school children, who were drawn up in a body. The President left the train at Berkely and visited the University of California, and the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum. He then drove to Oakland, and upon reaching that ty was welcomed by a great crowd 3 people. The streets were gayly decorated, the floral display was elaborate. The President made short addresses at Oakland, and afterward returned to n Francisco, where be attended a ption by the Union League Club. At the close of the reception the President was presented with a solid gold plate facsimile of the card of invitation, beautifully enameled with the crest of the State of California and the flag of the Union . The President and party left San Francisco on the morning of the twenty-first day out from Washington for the Northwest. A rain storm accompanied the Presidential train on the journey through the northern part of California on the way to Oregon. It was the first rain they had had since entering California. The President rose early, and was the only member of the party to greet the crowd that gathered about the train at Tehama, He was loudly cheered, and shook hands with all the peoples within reach. About half an hour later the train drew up at Hed Bluffs, where a large crowd with a band was assembled at the station, They gave the President a most enthusiastic welcome. Captain Matlock, an old army comrade, introduced the President to the people, President Harrison in his specch re- erred to Captain Matlock and alluded to a number of Indiana people whom he had met in the State. Postmaster. General Wanamaker, Secretary Rusk and Mrs. Harrison were introduced to the crowd and were loudly cheered. At Red ding the President and party were greeted with a national salute and showers of bou- uets from a throng of school children, The resident addn the throng. The Presi. dential yf passed through Delta about noon and at Dunsmuir the President shook hands with a large number of old soldiers and thanked the citizens for their reception. The early part of ihe Journey of the Presi dent and party into Oregon on the twenty. second day of their trip was made in a steady fall of rain, varying from a drizzle to a light storm. This discouraging state of affairs did not seem to damp the enthusiasm of the inhabitants, and they paid the Cinef Magistrate every honor at each place visited. At Albany, which was reached at 8 o'clock, the President and all the members of the party were on the rear latform of the observation car and gave sn earty response to the enthusiastic greeting of the people. The Mayor of the city intro duced the President and he acknowledged their cheers with an address. The visit to Salem was the principal event of the forenoon. The President and party ar rived there at 9 o'clock and remained a little over one hour. It rained nearly all the time, which interfered somewhat with the programine, so far as the demonstration on the part of the school children was concerned. The local militia, the Grand Army Post, and the people generally ware out in fores and gave the distinguished visitors a royal reception. Just before leav- ing Salem a citizens’ committees from Port land waited on the President and volunteered to escort him to Portland. A short stop was made at Scheruwa. The President reviewed tha pupils of the Indian school and addressed them in a few kindly and appropriate words. The Presidential party arrived at Portland, Oregan, at noon, promptly on schedule time. Twenty thousand peeple were in waiting and the President acknowl. edged their plandits by riding bareheaded through the streets and bowing right and left. A slight ra.n was falling when the Presi dent reached Portland, but it soon turned intoa hemvy rain, However, it di1 not interfore with the formation of the parade After marching about the city two hours the parade moved down Sixth street and was reviewed by the President.

Weeds are often introduced by the farmer's own animals, Horses that have been fed at the town stables, and cattle that have been allowed to run on the highways, may each be the means of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the farm, w Chicago Times. TREES GIRDLED BY MICE, When trees are completely girdled by mice the injury is irretrievable. If the damage could be discovered at ones and before the wood should dry it might per- haps be possible to save some of the trees by cutting the bark from others and fit ting it accurately to the damaged portion roi But the chances are a hundred to one against this during the winter, when the sap is not flowing, while later, when the sap isin motion, it Prevention is the only STRAWBERRY BEDS, this means rapid growth and necessity for plant-food in a ready-to-be-used con dition. Opinions differ In reference to plowing or not plowing ecornstubble for outs; equally good farmers practising both methods; bus it is certain that if a portion of the surface be le unbroken, ard and weedy, It will be impossible to get a thrifty, strong uniform growth of outs. On the score of economy of labor there is a difference whether the ground be plowed or made mellow with the cultivator, as the latter tool, although wider, is not so effective, and must be used several times for thorough work. The cultivator, however, ean be run shal- lower, and makes a better seedbed, and if the previous crop was kept clean of weeds there will be less to spring up if the ground if not reversed. A large per cent. is often taken off a crop of oats by low wet spots, which preclude early plowing, or make necessary two jobs of seeding. Buch spots should be tile- drained. Finally, the average crop of thirty bushels or less per acre at the average price of thirty cents or less per bushel gives little or no profit, while a crop of seventy or «ighty bushels per acre gives a clear gain of $15, — New York Tribune.

Experience shows that hard food is better than soft food for poultry, not that it contains more nutrition, but for the reason that when soft food is given the hens are tempted to eat a larger pro- portion than should be the case. The giving of soft food leads to overfeeding and impairs the digestion. It also sup- plies the wants of the fow!l more readily than hard food, and so completely satis fies 1t that the inducement to work and scratch (so essential to health and the thrift of the fowl) is lessened. Then, there is the fact that when giving soft food the pouitryman, by mixing several kinds, is liable to give more of one kind than may be needed, while with hard grains the fowls have greater privilege of selection of that which they prefer; but with mixed soft food they must eat every- thing of which it is composed-—all or none-—and thereby surfeit themselves. It is proper to give soft food, so = to feed sume needed substances, but we believe three times a week sufficient Give whole grain and scatter it far and wide, or mix it with litter, thus compelling each hen to hunt and scratch for all she receives, which will keep her in health and promote egg production. —New Or leans Delta. MAKE A 600D GANDEX, | No man should spend his labor and tire over so large an acreage as to fail in making a first-class garden. In this much of the satisfaction and often no little part of the profit of country and farm life consists, It is rather dishearteniog for the city resident who goes into the country during the summer for fresh air aod fresh home-grown small fruits and garden vegetables to look into back yards and find tin cans carelessly thrown away, which show that even for such common table luxuries as tomatoes, green corn, and often green peas, the farmer and his family have nothing better for him then be could himself buy at the retail grocery, If farmers wish to attract other men to their business, as it is cleatly | their interest to do, they must in every way make farm life as pleasant and en- joyable as possible.

As he thinks over what he would have | been obliged to pay for such table deli- | cacies, the harder lines of his life fade away.

I thunk it is sufficient to point out the correct way. It is the usual custom on discovering a swarm leaviog the hive to begin throw. ing water on them; this 1 do not do. When I see a swarm in the air, I at once set about to prepare a hive for them. If I know which hive théy have come out of 1 remove it to a new location and set the new one in its place, and spread on the ground just in front of ita sheet doubled twice, The new hive should contain a full set of frames with a narrow strip of founds. tion as a starter, and if it is during a good honey flow and after the surplus arrange- ments have been put on, I would remove the latter from off the oid hive and place it on the new one ; by this time the swarm has settled. If low enough, 1 sprinkle them a little to prevent them flying when jarred Now get yo swarming basket (I ind that one holding a half bushel is the most « the handle of this tie « pole; a | yf pioe one and one-half or two inches just right. Now reach up with the apparatas just described and place the basket un- der the cluster; the end of the handle should extend beyond the basket a foot or so; strike the limb on which the bees have settled at the same of the basket into it. If the ugh the queen will basket together with the larger portion of the bees. Hold the basket in the same position until the bees have settled, and if any settle on the limb continue to jar it until they have all settled in or on the basket. You now have them captured and can do aoything you want with them. I have carried a swarm a mile in this shape without say trouble. If your hive is in readiness carry the bees and pour them down in front of it and assist them to eater by taking hold of the corners of sheet and rising it; after they are all in sce that the Irvive is shaded from the sun's rays, and you can then leave them to take care of themselves. — Farm, Fidd and Stockman, ur uvenient). 1 3 1 are 8 8 shar time mecping the where Che bees will first jar is hard en fall into the P blow, mouth fall FARM AXD GARDEN NOTES.

One of the most important things is to | season glass and china to sudden change of temperature, sd that they will remain | sound after exposure to sudden heat and This is best done by placing the | articles in cold water, which must grada- the country | ally be brought to the boiling point and | then allowed to cool very slowly, taking several hours to do it. The more com- mon the materials the more care in this respect is required. All china that has any gilding upon it may on no account be rubbed with a cloth of any kind, but werely rinsed frst in bot and afterward in cold water and left to drain till dry, It may be rubbed with a soft wash leather and a little dry whiting, but this opera. tion must not be repeated more than once a year, otherwise the gold will most cer- tainly be rubbed off and the china spoiled. When the plates, ete., are put away in the china closet pieces of paper should be placed between them to pre- vent scratches on the glaze or painting, as the bottom of all ware has little par- ticles of sand adbering to it, picked up from the oven wherein it was glazed. The china closet should be in a dry situs- tion, as a damp closet will soon tarnish the gilding of the best crockery. In a common dinner service it is a great evil to make the plates too hot, as it invan- ably cracks the glaze on the surface, if not the plate itself. The fact is when the glaze is injured every time the “things” are washed (he water gets to the interior, swells the porous clay and makes the whole fabric rotten. In this condition they will also absorb grease, and when exposed to further heat the grease makes the dishes brown and dis. colored. If an old, ill used dish be made very bot indeed a teaspoonful of fat will be seen to exude from the minute fissures upon its surface. These latter remarks apply more particularly to common wares. w Glaseware Heporter, RECIPES.
