Iii ii bulletin recently Issued by the department of agriculture L. i \ Cor-bctt, horticulturist, contributes the fol­lowing article on beautifying the home grounds:

The first esseutlul In the adornment of a home srea Is the formation of a suitable plan. Before a tree or shrub Is placed In a permanent location an outlluo map of the area to be treated should be made. Tin* aim tdiotild he to hide by means of trees and shrubbery all objectionable buildings or portions of the place ami also to shut from view all unslghUy objects maintained by neighbors; to locate the tret»n and shrubs so as to allow an uninterrupted line of vision when' the outlook Is pleasing.

Where shrubs and trees are needed neither as screens nor windbreaks their disposition should be such as will af­ford A pleasing effect and at the same time preserve as large an area of un­broken greeiiNward as practicable. All wulks aud drives on small lots should be direct. The planting of trees and shrubs or the placing of fountains and flagpoles In the course of a walk which will cause the traveler to deviate from his natural course Is a common but objectionable Arrangement.

A perfect lawn Is one of the rarest possessions of either public or private establishments. A good lawn demands great skill and Judgment In its making as well as In Its maintenance. The chief charm of a lawn consists In an evau stand of grass of uniform color kept closely mowu. For permanence a greensward consisting of n blend of grasses Is superior to one mude from a single sort.

Newly established lawns should nev­er he allowed to mature seed. Fre­quent clipping with the lowu mower. If not made too close, tends to stimu­late the stoottng of the plants rather thau to interfere with their growth. If the lawn Is located In u dry section or one subject to long periods of drought, It will be nocessary to Irrigate or sprinkle. A little water Is an in-Jury ratner than a benefit. If watering Is begun It should be done s t night rather than during the day and suffi­cient water given to thoroughly w e t the soil. During the winter the new lawn should have a dressing of coarse litter or, If the soil IS poor, of thorough­ly composted stable manure. If nei­ther of these Is available or desirable, a fall dressing of bone meal will be found very useful. In the spring, as growth begins, the lawn should be rak ed with a steel tooth rake, all breaks carefully filled In with turf or seeded and the whole area rolled wtth sf heavy rollor. Subsequent treatment will con­sist tn maintaining the moisture by proper nse of water and frequent clip­ping with tho lawn mower.

The color effects In shrubbery planta­tions come from mussing sorts so as to produce a floral display each month of the year. The tlowers and foliage of spring and summer contrib ute to these results, and autumn colors add A most desirable and valuable con trlbutlou to the season's panorama.

The bays of eurvod walks and drives should be filled with groups of shrutm. so that If there In? no natural object for the road to make a curve around the plantation will serve us a substitute for one and In so doing produce one of the highest effects which con l>o secur­ed in landscape gardening. Hy a Judl clous use of plants in the bays of walks and drives new and unexpected fea­tures In the form of vistas, lawn pieces or specimen plants can IK* brought be­fore the observer, thus producing pleas­ant surprises and holding his Interest. ' The planting of bays or the masking of walks and drives Is one of the fine arts In landscape decoration.. If care and skill are exercised the Interest of the visiter will not be allowed to flag, for at esjch turn in the road some new beauty will appear. The sense of dis­covery l i an important one to bo grati­fied.

Climbing plants meet a demand In the adornment of a place which can be filled neither by trees nor shrubs. Trees and shrubs can be used to hide •unsightly objects from a distance, but vines serve the same purpose as the draperies of a garment. They mask by covering unsightly objects. ,

Vines have a peculiar value In dec­orative planting in that as a class they are shade enduring, Since many vines will thrive in partial shade as well as In full sunlight they lend themselves well to porch and arbor decoration,- A few have the power to attach them-selves to bare walls, giving the latter an effint, of age, beauty and appro­priateness which cannot be produced by artists and architectural materials. T w o of the boat vine** for covering walls are the BOH ton Ivy and the Eng­lish Ivy. Vines which attach them­selves to wire or wood supports and are chiefly valuable because of their covering snd shading effects are the clematis, tho wlsturhi and the trumpet flower, and as an arbor or trellis cover none of the vines Is more useful than the Japanese houeysuckle. T w o of our native vines which merit high placet* are the five fingered Ivy aud the bittersweet.

It* may therefore be said in con-elusion that to harmoniously arrange trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants aud at the same t ime adjust them to the contour of the place, the architec­ture of the buildings and the con vrnlcncc of tint walks and drives Is t!ie aiiu of the landscape gardeuer. As hl.4 guide and model he takes Nature, rnd in so far as she Is followed bis Work Is pleasing.

Kearsarge Versus Alabama A rORTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

Jua* 12. 1CS*

N E of the most thrilling naval combats of the civil war was that between the Confederate com mere** destroyer Alabama

and the United States cruiser Kear-surge.

On Sunday, June 12, 1BG4, the Kesr sarge lay in the river Scheldt, Holland, wheu u telegram from Paris arrived stating that the Alabama w a s at tbe port of Cherbourg, France. From *hat moment the couuncrcs destroyer was a doomed ship. The Kearsur^e hound­ed her remorselessly until she w a s be­neath the waves .

Orders wen* given at one© to*sau%<an announcement which the^crcw-recetTed with cheers. The vessel reached Cher­bourg on Tuesday, and the Alabama w a s seen lying behind tbe hreakwater In the harbor. The Kearsarge drew near enough to look her over e iuLtben set up a ceaseless watch.. Tho ship w a s put In order for battle, Thursday passed and Friday, and no Alabama appeared. Saturday the wait ing Yau-kecs begau to think there would be no fight, but that night, at a banquet among sympathetic friends, Captain

about and drew a w a y t o aea some sev­en miles. Then he put about and stood direct for the Alabama, Intending to close on her and run her down. At a distance of about a mile the Alabama opened confidently .upon her antago­nist with sia^l shot: fired In b roadside volleys. The missiles did but very lit­t le damnge to the Kearsarge.

The Alabama sheered, and the Kenr-Sarge, following up, caused the fight to take pluce In a circle, the ships Hulling round and round a*common center. At about 1)00 yards tho Kearsarge opened wtth tho starboard broadside, the nhlps lying broadside to. In that i>osltion both t h e ships fired shell. The Alaba­ma's ensign w a s soon cut by a shot from t h e Kearsarge and felL Another w a s quickly run up. The shell of the Kessaarge jtrow the beginning riddled tho bull Of the Alabama, At every discharge many of tbe Confederate gunners were killed or disabled. In some cases an entire gun ' s crew w a s wiped out by a single shell.

The shells from the A l a b a m a * ! plod-led all right upon the sldes*of the Kear-h:\v :*\ but with very little harm. Bemmcs s a w that*b 1s shells Mere hav-

The Alabama w a s built especially>foi the Confederate service and was-ft shlf for speed rather than for battle. 8h« carried eight guns, one one hundred-pounder pivot forward and t w o eight-hit h solid shot pivot guns aft and s t i

' thirty-two pounders in broadside, i l e t crew numbered lf>Q officers aud men. fiemmes w a s an old officer of t h e regu­lar United Htates navy. Tbe executive officer of the ship, Mcintosh Kell, was also a veteran of twenty years' expe­rience In the Uultcd su i te s navy. Ths crew was a coui|H>glU* one, Including many English and Americans. After giving orders to Bull out In search of the Kearsurge, Bemme* made a speech to his crew:

"Office™ and Bcamen of the Ala baniu, you have at length.another op­portunity of meeting the enemy, the hi tit that has been presented to you since you snhk the Ilatteras. In the meantime you have been all over the world, and It is not too much to suy that you have destroy ed and driven for protection under neutral flags one half of the enemy's com iuerve, which at the beginning of the war covered every sea* This is an achievement of which you may well be proud, aud a grateful country will not be unmindful of it. The name of your ship has become a household word wherever civilization stands. Bhall that name be tarnished by defeat? Tho thing Is imposHlble! Remember that yon are In the English channel, tho theater of so much of the naval glory of our race, and that the eyes of all I'urope tire at this moment upon you. The Hag that HoaU over you Is that of n young rcpubll*, who bids defiance to her em uiles whenever and wherever found. Show the world that you know how to uphold It. Go to your quar­ters."

The crew received the speech witli cries of "Never, never!" About tho middle of Sunday forenoon, just a s the l>ell tolled for Service on board tho Kearsarge, Captain Wlnslow stood with hltt prayer book in his hand, ready to read. The officer on deck shouted, ' T h e Alabama!" All hands took up the cry, •*The Alabama!" Tbe captain exchanged hjs prayer book for a trum­pet and ordered his ship about to meet the cruiser.

The Alobflma enme on, escorted b y a French frigate as far u s l h o three mile l i m i t Then the frigate turned back.

Give her another!" , ~

So terrible was the execution of these shells on the gun deck of the Alabama that It was necessary to throw ths dead bodies overboard In order to work the aft pivot guu during the time of retreat. Only one shell from the Ala-bajmi really did harm on board the Keursorge. It was u sixty eight pound­er lilukely from the forward guu of the cruiser, ft passed through the Koarsarge's bulwarks, woundiug three gunners, one of whom afterward died. Several gthey shells entered the ship, doing trivial harm. On the seventh ro­tation the Alabama steered straight for the French coast. The Kearsarge pursued und. coining close up, pro­ceeded to give her volley after volley until she began to sink. Iler sides were gaping with immense holes cut in them by shot from the Kearsarge. Hemtnes sent an officer below to learn how long bis ship would flout. Tho apswer was ten minutes. Within un hour from the time of the firing of the first shell of the Alabama her flag w a s lowered forever.

Hemmes sent his master's mate, nn Englishman named Fulhim, to the Kearsurge to usk for assistance. Wins low usked him the direct question whether 8cm mes had surrendered. The answer w a s "Yes.* Then Wlns­low perm Ut 1*1 Fullam to return to the Alabamu to help save her crew. At the same t ime he Signaled to the c a p ­tain of an English yacht, Deerhound/ which w a s on the scene, giving him permission to go to the fescue of the crew of the Alabama, who'were In the water.

Jerseys at tbe World's Fair Are Ex-pected to Shew That Tk?y Art

Superior to All Other Breeds.

The herd of Jersey cows assembled at the World's Fair at Ht. Louis to rep resent the Jersey breed in the universal dairy test has been iuspected and h s s boon pronounced in perfect condition and ready to start upon their six months' grind on a day's* notice.

W. It. Spauu of the Burr Oak Jersey farm, Dallas, Tex!, w a s tho inspector, and he w a s thorough in his work. U s passed a week on the KxposlOoL grounds, au& much of tbe time wof speut in audtaroupd the Jersey cattle barn, and the condition of each indi­vidual of the herd of forty c o w s w a s definitely ascertained.

Never was i.iore intelligent and care­ful treatment lavished on animals. No athlete w a s ever better trulnod for a contest requiting the development of speed, skill and endurance than hns been this herd of Jerseys. When it i t known that this herd is to compete with selected herds of Iiolstelns, Short­horns, Iirown B-wlss aud l>evons* and the herd making the best score for ths production of butter, milk and cheese is to establish the standing of the various breeds, the Importance of the c o w s being In perfect condition may be understood.

For a solid year the JcfscyS have been In constant training. Twenty-five c o w s will participate in tho con­t e s t , (V)ws wero selected from the best herds In tho United State*.

Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of tbe American Jersey Cuttle Club, un­der whose s f spices this entry is made, toured Europo and visited the famed Isle of J e r s e y where the breed origi­nated. H e w a s seeking the best cows, but returned satisfied that Europe could show no cows that were better than thoso bred in America.

Though, only twenty-five c o w s will participate in the test, forty o o w s were selected. They were assembled s t Jcrscyvllle. 111., a year ago. This i s near St. Ix>u1s, snd the cattle have be­come acclimated. Last December they were removed to S t Louis. Tho cows are the property of individual members of the club and are loaned for the term of the test. C. T. Craves, a breeder at Maltland, Mo., w a s selected as tho superintendent to have charge of the cattle, nnd he h s s been highly com-pllment*vf by Dr. Uichardaou and In­spector Hpanu for the wonderfully fine condition in which he has placed the herd,

A Series of model dairy b a m s h a t e been built for the breeds competing in the test. The barns ure octagonal in form, and are so arranged that ilu> c o w s are in the center s n d a wide promenade iM*rmits visitors to pass around and view tho c o w s s s they Htaud In their stalls.

The milking nnd feeding are to be done in plain view of the p A l i c , and representatives uf tho various herds will at all t imes h a r e access to all the |>arns to sc« th*it no sharp practices uro indulged In.

The test not only «mals t s in show­ing tho amount of butter, milk and cheese produced, but the cost of pro­duction is takmi into consideration. Every ounce of food given each cow Is weighed and carefully recorded. When the cows are milked, the milk Is con­veyed to a model creutuery lu the Ag­ricultural building, where It i s tested nnd made into butter und choose aud where ull records are carefully k e p t

The Jersey cattle participated in S similar test at Chicago during tho Co lumbian Exposition s n d carried off llrst honors.

Superintendent Grave* Is sanguine over the result of the preoent t e a t H e s a y s that tlie Jerseys hsve- a l w a y s demonstrated their superiority over all other breeds when placed in competi­tion, and this t ime they wil l show to better advantage than ever. Not only Is the Jersey milk richer In hotter fat than the milk of any other breed, says Mr. Graves, but it can be produced at a less <-ost The Jersey c o w s are the smallest of the standard breeds, and he asserts that they consume less feed. They assimilate their food, and i t is converted into milk and butter and Is not used in building up and smstalnlng a targe carcass.

"W« are going to inake all other breed* take to the woods after this test," aald Mr. G r a w s . "A few days ago I w a s test ing same of our Jersey milk, nnd my hands wero ajl sticky and greasy from the enormous amount of butter fat the milk contained. Mr. Von Heyne , w h o is in charf* o f the Iiolstelns, sent over a quantity, of hts milk for mo to t e s t O f c o u r s ^ from a commercial standpoint, thoro w a s no comparison between tbto milk* but it w a s a pleasure to t e s t Ids milk, for when I got through there w a s no grease on my bands. After this I will h a v e a bucket o f Jlolste in milk around bandy to w a s h m y bands in sf ter t e s t i n g oor own^rtc^ J e » y t m l l k . "

T w o representatives in congress wero chosen, snd In addition a supreme court Judge and s state food com mis* sloncr were voted for. It was a straight out party flght T w o years ago s^Ite-publlcan candidate for governor w a s defeated after s contest in which one disgruntled Republican faction threw its strength to the Democratic nominee. The vote for governor stood 3tt,H(i2 for Chamberlain, IVtnocrat to 3U,00ti for Furnish, Republican, but the rest of the Republican s t s t e ticket w a s elected by an average plurality of Id.ooa This June no local and personal antagonisms obscured the reel i ssue between the two parties. The tight w a s avowedly made on national issues. Tho Repub­lican organization presented a united front, and, after a sharp canvass, car- j rlcd the state by uttout 20,000 plurality. '. In the First district Ringer Henna un i s • credited with a plurality of 7,500, and John II. Williamson, lu the Hecond dis­tr ict with s plurality of a^out lO.UUU The total plurality for candidates for <-ongn»HS—17,500—Is nearly twice as great us the total plurality in 1900, but for the head of the s t s t e ticket t h i s , year the i>turallty claimed is 20,<MJO.

The result h s s brought s feeling of satisfaction to the Republican leaders, It indhwtog that the people In Oregon take no stock In the professions of the * Democrats that they know how to i-on-du« t the government better than the Republicans. It show*, t o s t they ad­mire tbv president and believe in the policies which McKinley und Roosevelt have carried out.
