Accldent.-On Saturday last the Rev.
Mr.. DEARINa met with painful accident
in which he received severe bruises about
the head and face. AS he was in the act
of getting in his buggy on Second street
his horse became frightened and started to

he was thrown upon the curb stone, from
where he was picked up in an insensble
condition and taken to his home.

SUMMER oARR OF noes.

A Western swine raiser says; "For the past
three years have been very lucky with hogs.
Have pasture of about thirty five acres, not
much grass, but plenty Of young oaks, hicko-
ries and hazel bush, with plenty Of running
water. keep salt aud supher in a trough
where they can help themselves, with pile of
charcoal, and it will surprise those who have
not tried it to see them eat il after every feed
of coru." Probably a field OF clover, with run.
ming water in It, would be the best pasture
that hogs can be kept in. Parsnips are the best
root crop that can be grown for swine. They
eat them eager raw, and many farmers grow
them especially TO feed 10 their hogs.

HAVING.

Every farmer is not good hay maker, al
though il would seem that anybody, knowing
anything about farming, ought to be able to get
his hay into the barn or stack in good condition
il the weather be favOrablej but such is not
the case. In the first place, a farmer should
be faly prepared for haying before he com
mences. Every implement wanted should be
procured, aud be in condition; and when a far
mer has much grass to cut II would be well TO
have an extra moving machine to fall back on
in case of a breakage. All the art there is in
making good hay is to have good judgment,
and energy TO drive the business when the
weather is favorable, Two men may com
mence 10 cut two fields of grass the same
morning, each field exactly alike, each man
having the same kind of ma chine and the 50 ame
number of hands, aud one will have all his
hay in on the next day at sunset, cured IN ex-
cellent condition, while the other will fail 10
"push things" and will not have his hay cured
the next afternoon, leaving it perhaps in the
windrOw, and a rain coming on the next day,
lasting "a or 4S hours, his hay is nearly ruined
The best advice can give ~ farmers, in regard
to making hay, is to take advantage Of good
weather, and let every man and boy 10 your
employ understand that you " msan business. +"
1t will not do to wait ill all your grasses are
fully ripe for the machine but commeGce on
that which Is most advanced. The grass will
require more curing, but il will be better hay
| for being cut early. The best timothy hay that
! | ever fed 10 stock was cut two weeks in ad.
vance Of the usual time.

Dispatch Pigeons.

An interesting lecture on the util-
ization of the homing or carrier pig
con was given at the Geological Gar
dens, Regents Park, recently by Mr..
Tegetmeier. After describing the
origin of the pigeon voyageurs, the
methods of training for the long ra-
ces, the powers of fight, extending
to upwards of 500 miles a day, the
lecturer described the details of the
pigeon post used during the seige of
Paris, and stated that at the present
time every fortress and fortified town
in Germany was provided with flights
Of trained pigeons by which oommu-
nications could be sent into the town
if invested by hostile force. He
then proceeded to describe the latest
application for the homing faculty of
these birds-namely the establish
ment of communications from light
ships to the shore, so that by the use
of the maritime code of signals two
or three letters stamped on the wing
would convey the intelligence that
assistance of any kind was desired,
and would provide means of com
munication when no other method
was available. The experiment is
being tried at Harwich, and as soon
as a sufficient stock of birds has been
reared it is proposed to keep RELAYS
on board the adjacent lightsbips. so
that in case of a second wreck like
that of the Deutschland requests for
assistance could be Immediately con-
veyed to the authorities at Harwich.

JAMESTOWN.

SAoAGoA y 49,
did not have time to 60 to Dun
geness during my short visit at Sc
quinn, but one afternoon l took a
drive with my friend G. H. Gerrish
to the Indian village of jamestown,
situated ON the shore of Dungeness
Bay, about midway between Sequim
Bay and Dungeness. spit, and at the
landing place of the logging railway
of the Port Discovery Mill Company.
This village is composed of num-
ber of young Clalam Indians, under
" Balch," a son of the famous chief,
Lord Jim. These Indians were born
at DungeDess and Sequim, and hav-
ing worked from boyhOod with the
farmers of Clalam County, have ac-
quired many of the ways of civiliza-
ton. They are good farmers and
have been induced by some of their
white friends to purchase a fine farm
of 160 acres which they own and
work in common. Their village
consists of some thirty houses, ar
ranged in row along the beach in
an orderly manner. These are not
wigwams, but regular pitched-roof
buildings, looking like the common
architecture of the white people
These Indians are industrious and
find plenty of work among the farm
ers.
This village is under the super
vision of the Skokomish agency, on
Hoods Canal, and the name James
town was given to it by Mr.. Eels, the
Indian agent in charge of that re-
lserve. 1t is an evidence that Indians
can be induced to be industrious and
self-supporting whenever they are
encouraged by the white settlers, as
has been the case among the farmers
of Clalam county, and is pleasing
contrast to the old filthy residences
of the former Indian towns on the
Sound. Although jamestown is but
little known, yet it is worthy Of mem
ton, and may serve as a model for
farmers in other localities who have
Indians about them. As soon as har-
vesting is well over and the sand hill
cranes, geese, brandt and ducks be-
gin to fly, l propose to go to Dunge-
ness and will, at some future time,
give you an account of that nice set
element where l have many old and
valued friends. S.
