A GREAT PUBLIC WORK.

The water system Of King county is
anomalous. It presents a strange net
work Of communicating rivers, lakes
and salt water lays. A consequence Of
this complicated system is retarded
and incomplete discharge Of the flood
waters and constant surfeit of water
in the interior. The forty square miles
of water surface and fabulous depth Of
Lake Washington. at present, has no
outlet except by way Of Black and Du
vanish rivers into the head Of the bay,
distance, considering the windings Of
these rivers, of over twenty miles.
Scientific measurements. as we'll as obvi-
Gus observations along the rapids of
Buick river. attest the fact that the
summer level Of this lake is not less
than Is or 90 feet above the high tide
level of the Sound. Instead Of such
crooked getting down stairs as this,
the lake might easily be made TO dis
Charge directly into the Sound 10y an
outlet only three miles in length. by
way Of Shilshole Bay 'hd Lake Union.
This Little ] "a, u short distance
north 81 ..e city, accordingly stretches
arm westward to the Sound at Shils-
hole Bay. and another eastward to with
in only aboat fourth of mile from
Lake Washington.
To cut channel across this short
portage, and possibly clear out and
deepen q little the outlet Of Lake
Union, is all that Is needed to form a
direct water communication with Lake
Washington, drain and reclaim many
thousand acres Of the richest land in the
country. now swampy and uncultivated,
and save the farmers of the river val
leys in great part from the mischief Of
the winter and more particularly Of the
summer floods.
1t has been estimated that $4,000
would suffice to open ditch across the
portage. sufficient for the purpose Of
drainage and to answer the requisite
purpose Of transportation for some time
to come. In fact, We are informed that
a responsible citizen OF the county.
stands ready to take the contract at the
figure stated. A better investment of
that amount Of private or public
money. for the county in the aggregate,
and the majority of our citizens in de-
tail. could not be made
II is safe to estimate the swamp
lands of White river and Duwamish
valleys that would be drained, at 10000
acres, besides large amount along the
shores of the lake and its tributaries.
ri lake would be made vast reser-
II affording speedy discharge to re-
.eivs and deliver the surplus waters Of
the rivers and carry out into the Sound
tina loads Of silt which they now dis.
gorge into the harbor, instead of. as
now. making receiving reservoir Of
the river valleys for the surcharge of
itself and its numerous tributaries in
times Of freshets.

utilized. In the North European coan-
tries along the Baltic, which are nat
urally similar to our own, they drain by

tive than our river bottoms.

A Very Funny Joke.

An English farmer has recently been
compelled to pay the costs of a practi-
cal Joke. He was sitting in the bar
room of the Greyhound Inn one night
and taking his usual tankard of ale,
when his eye CHANGED to fall on the
sleeping form of man with a long
beard. He went to the fire, and light
ing piece of paper, deliberately APP
piled it to the sleeping mans beard.
There was a bright, rushing flame for a
second or two; the man sprang to his
feet in agony; the joke CD was com
plete, and the farmer roared in ecstacy.
The unfortunate sufferer, who happened
to be the village tailor, knew that the
farmer was a man of substantial means,
and acted accordingly. He brought an
action for $3.50 damages in the Malmes-
bury county court in due course. Ac-
cording to the plaintiffs evidence, his
beard was eighteen inches long when he
lay down, after having some ale. The
next thing he remembered was his face
being on fire, while a man helped to put
out the flame. The defendant sat in
his seat roaring with laughter, and did
not offer any assistance, nor did he ten
der any apology for what he had done.
His lips were burned severely, his face
was blistered, his head, eyebrows and
eyelashes were burned to the skin, and
one ear and one eye we're scorched. The
magistrate awarded him $3.50 and costs.

The Feeding Value Of Roots.

From the large percentage of water
contained in the turnip and other roots,
it is easy to see that the feeding value
must be relatively very inconsiderable.
If we take 60 pounds as the weight of
bushel of these roots, it will be found
that the quantity of water in each bushel
is about As pounds for carrots, over 80
pounds for beets, and nearly SIS pounds
in bushel of turnips. 1t is, there
fore very evident that the amount of
nutriment left in each bushel after the
water is eliminated is but small in COM
parison with other kinds of feed.
The statement has been made by an
English agricultural society that it re-
quires $50 pounds of either turnips, car
rots or beets to produce a
single pound of beef But this is con-
trary to the general experience of farm
ers, and is palpably incorrect. Accord
ing to another statement widely pub
Eshed, it requires so pounds of carrots,
or 100 pounds of turnips for a pound of
beef In both these cases the figures
are evidently the result of some little ex-
perience, added to considerable amount
of guess-work.
1t is a matter of surprise that this
problem has notye been more accurately
solved. But in the absence of more ex-
act experiments and reliable results, the
farmer may be very sure of one thing.
| Though neither beets, carrots, nor tur-
nips, if used alone in feeding, will be
found to pay, yet each of them when
properly combined with other elements,
is at once increased in value, and gives a
new value also to the whole mixture.
This fact illustrates the principle so often
overlooked, that variety in feeding is the
secret of success. When roots are fed
exclusively the result is poor beef and
small pay; but when they are given in
connection with grain and good hay, il
the proportions are right, the nutritive
value of each element is improved, the
health of the animal is preserved, and
the profit of the business is largely in.
creased. The man who depends solely
on roots in feeding, will never find them
profitable crop. But when they are
skillfully blended with other feed Of
various kinds their real value is devel
oped, and the former discovers that he
cannot afford to be without them.

The Bell Punch.

The supposed invulnerable bell punch
in use on nearly all the horse-car lines in
the country to prevent knocking
down" it has been found has succumbed
to the ingenuity of dishonest men, who
have contrived a way to cause the bell
to ring without having corresponding
hole punched in the dial inside the
punch. 1t was first suspected that the
punches had been tempered with at
Philadelphia last year, when some of the
conductors were found to be {" short" in
receipts, and were discharged. In New
York conductors were also discharged for
being short in receipts, and after close
watching twelve conductors ON the Sec
ond avenue line have been arrested and
warrants were issued for about fifty
more. An improvement has been made
to the punches which it is said will pre-
vent future tampering, but as long as
dishonest men are employed, methods OF
getting undue gain will be found by
them

WHAT THE BELLS HAVE TO SAY.

At the dawn of day and before
The rough bell in the dusty tower
Bids the labo-er sleep no more,
when its tongue calls the signal hour.
q how IL swings. and rings, and clangs
Shaking the ttmbers where IT hangs,
Sacred sleep flies from ihe sleeper eyes,
When il shouts " Arise! arise! arise!"
A voice in the welLin rings anear,
The lad. and lasses know it well,
Its tones are sharp, and quick, and clear,
1t is the academy bell.
And to many its brazen shrlek
Saws q German, and Latin, and Greek,
And grammar, and golden rule
To all " To school to school! to SCHOOL,"
In hand that's moving up and down,
In front of an apron white as snow,
Is bell that cheers both sage and clown,
Its notes are sounds that all man know,
Though il tinkles, and rings, and rings.
1t talks of sweet and sayory things.
In tones that seem almost divine,
ssIt's time 10 dine! to dine. to dine"
There is sweet music in the air,
Good news it's melody foretells,
No harsh and grating notes of care
Blend with the chime OF wedding bells.
In happy harmony their tones
Speak Of the bliss of honeymoons,
so happy daughter, happy son
Two hearts are one are Que! are one.
There sounds sad and solemn bell, g
The mourners hear with moistened eyes,
And yet it's touching tones may tell
OF a new life beyond the skies.
There may be sweetness IN the toll
That summons to the skies soul.
In tones triumphant let 1t ring,
To show that Death hath lost its sting
A choral chime one day in seven,
From vale and HILL city and town,
Ascends in harmony to heaven,
Bringing glad benedictions down.
Their varied voice in sweetness blends,
Their cheerful voice with praise ascends,
And each glad heart with rapture swells,
Responsive to the Sabbath bells.

Commodore Vanderbilt and his Ed
est Son.

1t is pretty well known that during
William FL. Vanderbilt's youth his faith
er, the commodore, had very little con-
fidence in his sagacity or business ability.
Against the advice of some of his friends,
he persistently declined the young mans
cooperation, because he thought him
" stupid" A story is current on Staten
island which goes tos how how the COM
modore's eyes came to be opened to the
mistake into which he had allowed him
self to fall concerning his eldest boy.
William owned farm near his fathers
and finding that it required fertilization,
he applied to him for some manure
=" How much do you want?" inquired
the commodore. ooh, about a load"
said the son. Certainly, / can spare
that" When the commodore visited his
place the next week he found that his
yards and stables were swept clean of the
great heaps of composite which he had
allowed to accumulate "Why, how is
this?" he said to his farmer. Your
son came and got it, was the answer.
He said you gave him permission"
The commodore went Tuning to William,
and said in a bustling way, See, here,
young man, what have you been about
How dared you to cart off all my ma
nure?" You said | could have it, "
was the rejoinder. You told me to
take load. "A load why, you have

THE mornings milking is said to be
the best for butter, the evenings for

FIGS for fattening hogs and a growth
of rye for mich cows are two recent
novelties in farm economy.
CEDAR twigs, chopped fine, and mixed
with their grain will act as speedy cure
for cough in horses.
GREEN feed, immature corn or grass,
will cause COWS to yield milk abundantly,
but will not prove to be very nutritious.

used, and that dry, what better can be
found, than early cut, we'll cured, not

TOMATOES, as food for cows, improves
both the quantity and quality of the
milk, and gives the cream and butter a
rich, golden color.
IT is not what single crop will be most
valuable to feed to stock, but what COM

milk, or beef, or pork, as circumstances
may require.
SUGAR-CURED hams are a luxury that

FARM AND HOME.
Cleaning up the Garden.

After a certain period, about mid sum-
mer, it is often the case that the garden
is allowed to CO. Weeds grow up pro-
miscuously, and the rubbish accumulates
in quantity For instance, the radishes
that were left after the first crop go to
seed; the old stumps of early cabbages
remain in remembrance of what had
been; the pea-vines and beat-vines lay
struggling over the ground; the squashes
grow rampant over the currant bushes,
and the fences-in truth, everything
exhibits the fact of inattention. All
this rubbish, if taken care of, makes a
good manure for the succeeding year, and
every man who has garden should have
some place where it can be put to rot
and form a compost heap, for the next
season. OF course it would be nice to
mix with it muck and barn-yard ma
nure, but even earth is better than moth
ing. At any rate, keep the garden clean.

GOOD TEMPLAR BEER.-One pint of
bran, handful of hops, some twigs of
spruce, cedar, little sassafras, roots of
burdock, plantian, dock and dandelion;
boil and strain, and add spoonful of
ginger molasses and a cupful of yeast.
The above will make one gallon.
To Cook EGG-PLANT.- Select of nice
ripe elephants sufficient quantity; cut
off the ends; cut, transversely, in slices
one inch thick cook without grease or
any other thing whatsoever, on hot
griddle or frying pan; when it is done
through and nicely Drowned dress with
butter and salt, and serve hot, piping
hot
BUG POIsON.-Take one pint of tur-
pentine, one pint of alcohol, and one
ounce of camphor; dissolve the camphor
in the alcohol, and then add the turpen-
large-sized sewing-machine oiler to put
it on with; fill every crevice with it be-
fore taking the bedstead apart, and it
will remove both the vermin and their
eggs.
To MAKE TOMATO CATsUP-One
gallon peeled tomatoes, four pods of red
pepper; cook until tender and strain
through coarse sieve; then stir in
thoroughly four tablespoonful of salt,
four tablespoonful of ground pepper,
three tablespoonful of white mustard
seed, half tablespoonful of allspice, and
one pint of vinegar; simmer slowly three
or four hours; bottle while hot, and close
tightly, and the preparation will keep
good for years. 1t can also be made in
the winter time by using canned toma-
toes and dried red pepper pods.
To MAKE SALT CoD-FIsH BALLS
One-third of salt cod-fsh and six pota-
toes; the Goldfish to be the best isles of
Shoals fish preferably, and the potatoes
ripe and mealy. Put the fish in gal
lon of water and let it come to a boiling
point. Poll and peel the potatoes. Chop
the fish fine and mix with it the potato
mashed in half pound of butter, half
tea-cupful of milk and two eggs. Make
with the hand into oblong balls, roll in
fine bread crumbs, and fry in boiling
lard. Remove each cake carefully with
skinner, and serve while hot.
PLUM PAsTE-Boil tart plums in
their own juice till soft, then remove
the pits, and pass the pulp through
sieve. Boil slowly and stir constantly for
for one hour. Add to this half the
weight of the pulp in sugar, then boil
one minute. Have ready shallow earth
en- plates, square shape is to be prefer
red. Pour the paste in this, not over a
quarter of an inch thick, and dry slow
| ly in the oven, being careful not to burn
| it. When dry turn out and put away
carefully. This is useful to cut in rings
or fancy shapes, to ornament whips, ices
and fancy cakes.
