4 Cloud Burst.

From Mr.. J. W. Cochran, the post
master at Dixie, a small IIlcc di--
tlnt about fourteen miles from thu
city, We learn the following particu-
lars Of a cloud burst which occurred
near that place Monday last:
II seem, that the cloud struck o

tcmpcetuous night, and at daylight
Mr.. Brunton notified his nciphhars,
and at the head Of large lraray
started down the raVine To hunt fdr
the bodies Of the missing memfEr>

reached the place Of Mr.. Jas. Ker-
Z shaw, about two miles below. and
just above the DIXIE school house,
they found the body Of the unfadzJl-

with brush and drift. The body oi
the unfOHunatc boy was found some

was uninjured, but a harm in which
were nine or ten head Of horses was
swept away, and most OF. the horses
drowned. Our informant states that
considerable damage TO grain and
roads was done, but nothing oT .

Silver Spring, in Georgia, is said to
be the largest spring in the world.
It is the source Of the Oklawaha
river, which is sixty feet wide al the
start, ten feet deep, and with a cur
rent flowing two miles an hour. All
this vast quantity Of water comes
from the spring, whose only inltds
are at the bottom. 1t is about two
acres in size, and its mysterious
depths have never'been explored.
There is an Indian legend about
Silver Spring, of course. Wenonah,
the beauty of the tribe that inhabited
the neighborhOod, won the loNe CT
ChulloOtah, a hostile chief Her
wrathful father slew the lower, and
then WenOnah drowned herself in
the spring, which was then small,
but WAS instantly enlarged 10 its
present proportions by the Grea1

4 Public Necessity.

One of the most striking wants Of
Spokane Falls at the present time is
some thorough system Of water
works, whereby that Indispensable
liquid can he distributed about and
throughout the linats of the city.
There is no enterprise that capital
lists could venture into which would
in time give surcr returns ON the in
vcstmcnt. There are several meth
od- by which this could be accom-
pli,hed, all Of them feasible and in
expensive compared with what it
costs to construct and operate water
works in other places. We are not
prepared to offcra suggestion a to
what would bc the best plan To fol-
low out in bringing about this de-
sired end, but it would seem that no
serious trouble would be experienced
in utilizing the Spokane river for
this purpose. No city in the Union
can boast of better water, or water
frccr from all impurities, and the
quantity is only surpassc | by the
immcasurahlc quantity. Outside of
favorable localities wells are an cX-
pcnsive luxury, and there ara very
few in use. Those few are made to
do heavy duty by supplying large
ncighbOrhoOd with water. Many
people who live remote from these
limited sources Of supply, or off from
the river, are compelled to depend
Upon a water peddlcr, and are forced
to exercise 50 much economy in its
use that which should be as plcnti-
full as the air we breathe becomes a
decided luxury. As the place spreads
out with rapid strides this demand
increases in corresponding ratio, "a
that in short time the means of oh
tanning water will be matter of vi.
tai moment. The situation would he
amusing were it not so serious, as il
reminds one Of the unfortunate mar.
iner, the poet tells Of, who was con.
siderably cut up on account Of being
surrounded by water, yet without a
drop to drink. But besides the in.
convenience that the public suffer.
in the way Of regular consumption
water works are necessity as a pro.
lection in a measure against an cle.
ment that is always dreaded and q
visit from which may be looked fol
at any moment. Already on several
occasions has this Young city suf,
fered from the ravages Of fire, and as
long as there is no means Of check
ing and eXtinguiShing flames conha'
grations of greater or less magnitud,
can be looked for. Necessity fol-
lows that the city is to escape entire
ly from certain percentage Of los,
through fire by the introduction oi
water mains, yet the presence Of an
adequate amount Of eXtinguishing
fluid would greatly lessen the risk OI
large fires, reduce rates Of insurance
and create feeling of security that
cannot exist as long as the condition
of things remain as they are.
1t is with great satisfaction that
we learn that this project is already
in the hands of a syndicate of home
capitalists, who propose to carry out

ishable as images Of snow, and n

ed population when that population
has been drawn together by cXag-
gerationS and false Impressions cir
quilted for the purpose Of attracting

Is not promised that the REVIEW
will be any better than its contcm-
pory laboring in the same field, and
We only can hope it may be as good.
Politically the REVIEW is R2pub-
lican. 1t is believed that the dsmi-
ncnt purity, that has done so much
toward. lifting up the nation to> its
pFrsTnt condition of power, prospcri-
ty, and greatness has not outlived
its usefulness, and, that while it may
have received black eye, metaphor
icallyrspealling,dast year, the slight
discomforture lhas by no means en-
tircly and ire Vocably disabled it. 1t
is believed that the dose will act As
Il rejuvinating tpnic, and that in 1851
the recent di5Eruntlcd will return to
ana rally under the banner of their
Old love, and with irrisistable en-
thusiasm the Republican party will
once more rush into the conflict Of
the ballots and come forth crowned
with the laurel of victory. But
while every fair means will be used
to promote the welfare of that party,
the REVIEW will not stoop to bitter
personalities to secure its political
ends. The rights of the individual
to differ, in politics as upon all Others
questions, if recognized, and abuse
will not be tolerated, even though
momentary success might be gained
thereby.
Much space has been used in pre-
scnting the hcdgling to the public.
1t is due to say that the main OBJ
jccts of the REVIEW are to ditfuse
knowledge upon local topics; to
champion those interests which
promise "thc greatest good to the
greatest numbers :" and to contrib
ute to the support of ye editor. 1t
will, in modest way, labor Jealous
Iy for Washington territory in gem
cral, and Spokane Falls and county
in particular. No effort will be made
to please all, for to attempt the ac-
complishment of that impos>ibility
requires acrohatic skill with the pen
that the writer is not educated up to.
Yet the desire is to please the over
whclming minority, and it is hoped
the REVIEW may be 50 conducted a.
to bring about that happy result.
Not being infalliblc errors can be cX-
pected, although efforts will he made
to guard against them. The editor
comes among you stranger, but
feeling kindly disposed toward hi.

duet the REVIEW "With malice

ArtichoIces for Swine.

Artichokes have been grown for swine
several years at the Michigan agricul-
tural college. The method of manage
ment had been to have a small patch
of artichokes convenient to the swine
pens, upon which the breeding sows
were turned early in the spring and al
lowed to harvest the roots for them
selves. The crop is thus grown with
very little labor, since it requires no
harvesting, the roots remaining in the
ground all winter, and it furnishes sue
culent food for the sows just when it is
most needed and most difficult to OBJ
tain from other sources. Professor
Johnson, farm superintendent, is SO
SO well pleased with the results of this
management that he is enlarging the
artichoke plantation.

From her rose-red mouth-'twas-

And almost feel am young again,
Though 30 many years have past.

The canvas here portrays.

For the restless hopes that have fleds

Increasing Lean Meat in Pigs.

National Livestock journal.
We may well suppose that the habit
of the pig IN laying on an excessive
quantity of fat has been caused by long
and excessive feeding of fat-producing
food, and it is not likely that any sud-
den transformation could be brought
about; but it is well known that the
pigs of different countries differ in re-
spect to fat. We have only to contrast
fattened pigs of this country with those
in Canada. There pork Is fattened
partly upon barley, bat largely
upon peas, highly nitrogen
portion of muscle, and our pigs are fat
tened almost wholly upon corn, an ex-
cessively starchy and fattening food.
The Canadian pork has much larger
proportion of lean meat and less lard.
The difference is very marked, so much
so, that in a market supplied with both
kinds, purchasers easily select the one
or the other as desired. Wild hogs do
not have such excess of fat, and the
southern hog, which is grown much
slower than those in the northern and
western states, and fed much less corn,
is comparatively lean. There can,
therefore, be little doubt that the habit
of depositing this excess of fat is caused
by long-continued feeding adapted to
that end The hog is naturally a grass
and root-eating animal, and in its do
mestication is fed almost wholly upon
concentrated food. Hogs fed upon
skinned milk have a less! proportion
of fat than those fed upon corn. If
young pigs are kept upon food that will
grow the muscles and bones and de-
velop rangy frame, they will possess
so much muscle when half grown that
a moderate length of time in fattening,
even on corn, will not pile on an Excess
sive amount of fat.

Selecting Nursery Trees.

Professor William Saunders, who has
had much experience in different sec
tons, says, he ''would generally select
those young trees at the nursery which
most people would be likely to reject
and leave on account of their small,
runty appearance, as in the long run
being more sureto make the best growth
and become the best bearers of fruit"
This is the testimony of many success
full growers. Some urge-which is I'M
questionably wise-that the holes for
planting should be ding at least two feet
deep, and then filled about one foot
with old bones, stones or bricks, or all
of them, as it would afford more
thorough undertakings and allow the
roots to run further.

FARM AND HOME.
Science in Farming.

Joseph Harris in Am. Agriculturst for Nov.
We have much poor land in the Uni
ted States, and an immense area of good
land. The poor land will be used to
grow timber, or be improved by CON-
Verting more or less Of it, gradually,
into pasture, and stocking it with sheep
and cattle. The main point is, to feed
the sheep or cattle with some rich nitro
genous food, such as cotton-seed cake,
malt-sprouts, bran, shorts, mill-feed,
refuse beans, or bean-meal made from
beans injured by the weevl or bug. In
short, the owner of such land may buy
such food as will furnish the most nutri-
ment and make the richest manure at
the least cost taking both of these OBJ
jects into consideration. He will also
buy more or less artificial manures, to
be used for the production of fodder
crops, such as corn, millet, Hungarian
grass, etc. And, as soon as portion
of the land can be made rich enough,
he will grow more or less mangel wur-
zels, sugar beets, turnips and other root
crops. Superphosphate will be found
admirably adapted for this purpose,
and two, three, or four hundred pounds
of cheap potash salts, per acre, can fire.
quently be used on fodder crops, in
connection with two or three hundred
pounds of phosphate, with considerable
profit. The whole subject is well
worthy of careful study. Never in the
history of the world, has. there been
grander opportunity for the application
of science to the Improvement of agri-
culture than now.
On the richer lands, the aim of the
farmer will be to convert the plant food
lying dormant in the soil into profitable
crops. The main point is good tillage.
In many cases weeds now run away
with half our crops and all our profits.
The weeds which spring Up after the
grain crops are harvested are not an
unmixed evil. They retain the nitrogen
and other plant food, and when turned
under make manure for the succeeding
crops. But weeds among the growing
crops are evil, and only evil. Thorough
blowing is the remedy, with drainage
where needed.

SAILING TOWARD THE ICE.


Sailing northward! sailing northward
Toward the realms of cold
Gives to me chill sensation,
As Of growing old.
Sailing northward! veering northward
TN the restless sea,
Winds grow cooler, pillows colder
Ice is on the sea.
Sailing northward! veering northward
On the sea Of life;
Hearts grow chilly, love Is colder,
With the toll and strife.
Sailing northward! veering northward,
Glory dims its fires;
Riches lose their charm and splendor;
"Glewhg hope expires"
Sailing northwardl veering northward-
Fen lovers love
Loses warmth, and pales its brightness,
Like the skies above.
But as we sail northward, northward,
Suns increase their sway,
, Till the crimson flush Of evening
Meets the dawn of day.
So as we veer northward, northward,
May lies sunset ray
Mix It's last beams with the sunburst
OF tn eternal day.
Yes, as veering northward, northward,
Eve and morning kiss,
So may death be but the Frightening
To dawn of bliss.

To Make wom.n's Work Easier.

Many farmers who secure for them
selves all the labor-saving improve
ments are slow in arranging similar
help for their wives. A reaper or
mower is used at the most only few
days in the year. A creamer, to make
butter-making easier, will be in use
nearly or quite every day in the year,
and the butter product will bring
enough more to pay heavy interest on
the first cost, besides the saving in
labor.

ECONOMICAL PUDDING.-Cook a tea
spoonful of flour in a pint of milk, add
a beaten egg, three teaspoonfuls of
sugar and a little salt; pour over slices
of buttered bread and bake half an
hour.
VEAL OYsTERs.-A good substitute
for real oysters is made by cutting the
veal into small squares, dipping into
batter and frying in hot lard. They are
served with cayenne pepper and salt,
and should be eaten while hot.
CINNAMON TARTs.-Rub eight ounces
of butter and a pound of sugar to a
cream, add the yelks of three eggs and
the whites of two, and stir in a pound
of flour. Roll the mixture thin, and
cut it into squares, rubbing them with
the white of egg, and sprinkling with
cinnamon and sugar before putting into

water over six or eight large tomatoes
to remove the skin, and then put them
into a saucepan. When they begin to
boil pour away little of the juice; add
a small piece of butter, pepper, salt and
very little sugar. Let them cook Tor
about fifteen minutes, stirring in we'll
the seasoning. Some add a few bread
or cracker crumbs.
APPLE PUDDING.-A delicious apple
pudding, to be served hot, is made thus:
Peel and quarter enough apples to cover
the bottom of a deep tin plate; then
make batter of sour milk, soda and
flour, with a tablespoonful of lard
to enough flour to make a batter which
will cover the apples. This should not
be thicker than for pancakes. Pour it
over the apples and bake till brown;
then, when done, turn it on q large
plate, with the crust down. Over the
apples scatter sugar and cinnamon; if
you like it rich, spread a thin layer of
butter over the apples before putting on
the sugar and cinnamon.
