MIX. Editor:
1t seems to me proper that should say a
word about our late fair. l have deferred it
till now for the reason that knew consider
able space would be necessarily occupied in
your issue of last week on that subject.
The weather was bad, but not so bad but
what it might have been worse. The fair
though fair success, was not so good but
what it might, and ought to have been
great deal better. The exhibit was good as
far as it went. But many of our people re-
manned at home, depending on their neigh
bors to 60 and make the fair success That
was wrong-very wrong; and we don't mean
to have it so next year. We erected a pa
vilion for this fair 40x60 feet. 1t is certain
that we shall need one hcxt year just twice
as large, and we intend to havS it, We ex-
pect to have the fair few weeks earlier,
and will speak in time of good weather.
We SHALL in addition to the enlarged pa
vilion, otherwise improve the grounds and
aim to make the fair in all respects so at
tractive that all will desire to attend, and
see, and hear for themselves.
We have the finest tract of land for fair
ground ON the Pacific Coast If you don't
believe it come and see. The Society COM
menced fair monthsago without any means.
Twenty eight acres of land were purchased
of Mr.. G.. w. Durgin and wife, who tut of
friendship for the Society, have reason to
believe, parted with the property for much
less than they would have sold it to an or
binary purchaser. For this tract of land
and the improvements put thereon since the
purchase, the Society owes about $1,000.
Our people during the fair aud since have
generourly donated or rather taken stock to
the amount of $500. This with additional
donations and other aid in respect will, |
predict if the friends of the Society continue
to do their duty, enable us to wipe out the
entire indebtedness by the end OF the next
fair.
| am sensible that the thanks of the Society
are greatly due to many for their timely and
intelligent assistance in connection with the
fair. To the narshals, gate keepers, super
;ntsndents and officers GENERALLY mucb nraise

Beyond the tomb.
The Heavenly Gardener knows each plant

And loves so tenderly,
And watches ev'ry want of ilow'r and tree,
That He alone can tell
Where each should be.

To make the fragrant air
More rich, the sheen of glory yet more

She had the Masters call
To go up there.

LEWIS RIVER ITEMS. Work on the
Church Touring Mill at Halls bridge was
stopped by the rains raising the river last
week, after the basement timbers were
partly placed. During the low water the
past season James Colyer did some blasting
and other work on the big drift above Heit-
mans bridge, and the last rise took the deb.
ris mostly out. so that saw-logs now have a
free passage down the river. Colyer ran
out 100. 900 feet of good lumber logs on the
last rise. Mr.. Burnham, who has been
away at work all summer, has returned to
his ranch. Mr.. +. Pratt finished teaching
the school in the Heitman district last week,
and commences in the Eaton district next
Monday. He is q good teacher, and seems
to be in demand. w. J. Chapman has found
that lost bec-gum, aud is satisfied by the
size Of the tracks that it was neither a bear
nor a Vancouver deer hunter who stole the
honey. Ira +. Spencer raised an acre and
half Of buckwheat and a proportionate
amount Of honey, and will pass portion of
the winter in pleasantly mixing them. His
stock Of bees grows, and demonstrates there
is profit in raising honey.

The SIlk Industry.

News Orleans Times.)
For the benefit of many of
your readers but slightly ac-.
quainted with this valuable
industry, l take the liberty of.
stating that the importation of
silk to this country amounts to
over thirty millions of dollars
annually. The countries that
produce the raw material in the
shape of cocoons and reeled
silk are France, Italy, Greece,
Turky, Persia, India, China and
Japan. A large portion Of the
inhabitants of those countries
ind a source of wealth in the
culture of cocoons and silk. ,.Sa-
BY a light but intelligent
work of from six to eightweeks,
done principally by the women
and children, they are reward
ed with sums of money, beyond
their regular incomes, that
materially help towards afford
ing ease and comfort to the
families. Now all those count
ries have no advantages what
ever that l know of over our
country hence l firmly believe.
that if we make up our mind
to start properly and intelligent
ly in raising silk, in the course
Of a few years we many save to |
our country from twenty-five
to thirty millions of dollars an
nually. land export some. Allow
me to further add here that the |
money value of silk produced
for the wants of the world
amounts annually to a sum that
exceeds by far the money value
Of our great article of cotton.
Your readers will thus see that
the silk culture is not to be
despised,
l don't accept the cXaggerat-
ed and disappointment-produc-
ing statements of enormous
yield Of cocoons per acre, but
firmly believethat there is MON
ey in it, and a good deal, too,
if we consider the short time
the work occupies, the little
labor it requires and that it
brings in money just when we
need it the most.
Let us only make haste
slowly until we learn the gram
mar of this new industry. and
then the result obtained out Of
and intelligent expert
ments and our own common
sense will guide us as to what
its best to 90. en-.

Extraordinary Cheese MN.

Yankee Dan Marble, when,

good thing. His last is an eX.

and its extent may be judged
from the following converse.
ton:
Two men were. seated at a
table in Nashville, drinking
ale, and eating crackers and
, cheese-their conversation al
length turned upon large
cheeses.
THAT was very large cheese
that was presented to Andrew
Jackson" said one of them.
Eyes, it weighed nine hun
dred pounds and upwards, an
swered the other.
A young gentleman who was
sitting reading in the same
room, inquired
"How much did you say, sir2''
mine hundred and upwards, "
answered the other.
THAT is about half as large
as some my father makes in the
county," was the young mans
reply; "his cheeses generally
average two thousand pounds. B"
Two thousand pounds" ex-
claimed the two strangers, in
! perfect astonishment. "Why,
how does he manage dairy
capable ofniaking such enor-
nous cheeses?" inquired both
simultaneously.
Every easily" replied the
young man. "He has an eX-
tensive trough leading down
the side of a large hill on his
place, and half way down there
is an immense vat; the COWS
are mixed in the trough, and
the same runs into this reser-
voir, about midway, on the side
of the HILL"
Leaving the strangers to di-
gest this description, the young
man cody laid down his paper
and walked off. Presently the
landlord stepped in.
"Do you know that yong man
that left this room few min

strangers.

quired the stranger.

my reason for asking" said
the stranger, "is, he has been
telling US that his father manu-
iactures cheeses at his dairy in
this county, which average two
thousand pounds in weight"
~ don't know anything about
the weight of his cheese" an
swered the landlord, "but l
know that the old man runs at
the bottom of the hill, on his
place, two saw-mills, which are
driven the whole year round
from the whey that runs from
his cheese press"

Horticultural Notes.

Two hundred thousand young
catalpas are being planted this
spring in the vicinity of Betram,
Mississippi county, Mo. q
Prof. Riley says that kerosene
oil is sure death to insects in all
stages, and the only substance
with which we may hope to des-
troy their eggs.
Probably the worst neglect
that hedges suffer is that of cut
ting back properly when small.
No hedge can be worth much
without this attention. A hedge
that is not thick at the bottom
is no hedge at all.
When large, ornamental trees
are planted on the lawn, a good
way to stake them is to drive
one or more short pegs into the
ground at some distance from
the tree, and extend cords
therefrom to quite a high point
on the body Of the tree.
As the country grows older,
the enemies to mans favored
plants and fruits multiply. New
and more difficult enemies to
control appear. Mans pro-
gress keeps about equal to the
difficulties to be overcome; he
runs about an equal race with
the insects.
A writer in the American
Farmer has tried the following,
worked well into the sod under
pear trees to prevent blight, and
so far as tried, with satisfactory
result: One quart Stacked lime,
one quart salt, one quart bone
phosphate, and one ounce of
sulphur for each tree.
There is one system of till
