Educated Chickens Which Fish.

Aaron Lowe, of Hawknsyille, has
some educated chickens. Among their
numerous accomplishments is the sagac-
ny displayed in catching jackworms.
The fowls have been taught to take pine
strawS in their bills, run them in the
holes where the worms live, and then
keep very quiet until the jacks move the
straws. When this is done, the chickens.
with great deXterity, snatch the straws
from the holes, and, nine times out OF
ten, they catch the jacks Tom Jordon
says 1t s n real treat to see them fishing
for jacks in this manner. atlanta (Ga.j

How to Fsrtilize Fruit Trees.

Here and there On all farms and in most
fruit gardens will be seen an occasional tree
or grapevine, which seems to lack vigor-
does not grow well, and yet, seems to have
no particular disease, says the Orange
county Farmer. The probabilities are that
the tree is dying of starvation and needs a
liberal supply of food. When you give it
this ration, do not pile load of manure
around the trunk Of the tree or the body of
"a grapevine. That is just the place where
it will do the least good. Nearest the trunk
of the tree, the roots are all large. The
fibrous roots-the feeders-are further off
near the ends of the roots. These only can
take up the nutriment 1t is always safe to
assume that the roots extend as far from
the trunk in every direction as do the
limbs of the tree, and to properly fertiiize,
spread the manure all over that area. Then
fork it in and you have done good work
and done it well. If some disease has be-
gun its work on the tree, you put the tree
in healthy, vigorous condition, the better
enabling 1t to successfully contend against
its enemies. We have seen numerous old
pear and apple trees, bearing poor and
gnarled fruit, which the owners consider of
no value, but which such treatment as we
have outlined above would restore to their
original usefulness.

Tae Use of Milk.

The Medical Record says: "No one who
fatigued bv over-exertlon of body and mind
has never experienced the reviving influence
of tumber of this beverage, heated as hot
as it can be sIpped, will willing forego re-
sort to it because of its being rendered some-
what less acceptable to the palate. The
promtness with which its cordial influence
felt, is indeed, surprising. Some portion
of it seems to be digested and appropriate
almost Immediately, and many now who
fancy they need alcoholic stimulants when
exhausted by fatigue, will find in this ample
draught an equivalent that will be abund-
antly satisfying and far more enduring in
its effects" As rule, farmers make too
little use of milk. Sweet skinned milk is the
very best beverage for them apd their chill
dren, and if warmed and slipped gradually is
as stated by the Record, both nutritious
and agreeable. This we know from long
daily habit, and skinned milk we know to
be better than whole milk in this respect.

Treatment of Cattle During Winter.

The farmer or breeder who most thor
oughly understands how to prepare live
stock for winter is he who makes it point
to get the largest possible amount of flesh
upon the RIBS during the summer, says the
Chicago Live stock Jon7,aaI So, he who
best understands his business during the
winter is he who succeeds in maintaining
all the flesh acquired during the summer,
adding to this as far as he can. Cattle that
60 into winter in good flesh, if suitably pro-
tecSea fl ON storms and cold. and properly
fed, are easily kept up to the summer stan
dard till mid-winter, and with suitable at
tention the same will prove true of the
remainder, up to the appearance of grass.
The warmth of seven-twelfths of the year
favors The interests of the feeder in the
highest degree, both in the direction of put
tang on flesh, and in retaining it; and it is
only by inexcusable improvidences that the
gain made during the larger and best hall
of the year is lost during The sh horter and
unfavorable half.

: Xalama Transfer /.

The inclines on both sides of the Co1um-
bia river at Kalama are finished and in a
week or SO trains will regularly cross from
Portland. 1t is the intention of the mana
gers to run as many of the passenger coaches,
as are necessary through from st. Paul to
New Tacoma, though the Pullman sleepe-s,
will not come further west than Portland,
unless the time is SO changed as to bring a
night run on the Pacific division, which is
not probable. The Lille E. Starbuck is
overdue at Kalama with the big steel trans
fer boat to be used there. She left New
York on June 9th, and must have met with
rough weather and consequently delays to
be so long on the way. The transfer boat
comes all ready to set up, but when one
remembers that there are So, 400 separate
pieces to be nicely adjusted together, he
will not wonder that the contractor de.
manded six months in which to set her up.
In the meantime temporary transfer boat
will be used. 1t is large barge and will
be towed by steamer engaged for the
purpose.

Insult to Injury.

Alnsworth has the reputation abroad Of
being hard town, but the following is the
toughest We have yet heard: A few days
ago Professor Harmon, well known through
out the Northwest as barn storming yen-
triloquist, magician and general performer,
visited that burg with a view of engaging
in some sort of business there He put up
at the principal hotel, and lie all good
moral men went to bed early. Having
nothing to trouble his conscience, Harmon
slept the sleep of the just, and while he was
snoring and dreaming of performances given
to big houses some misereant entered the
room and distracted from the professors s
pantaloons purse containing $3.50. The
thief, not satisfied with this, stole the old
gentleman's hat and boots and silently took
his departure. When Harmon started to
dress the next morning he discovered his
loss, and making all haste he donned what
clothing he had left and started for the
Office 10 give notice of the preceding nights
transactions. On reaching the foot of the
stairs, bareheaded and barefooted and with
out penny in his pocket, he was met by a
tramp, who in piteous accents asked for a
"half'' with which to get his breakfast. Up
to this time Harmon had managed to keep
his temper, but no sooner had the tramp
stated his errand when the professor broke
ont into rage, declaring Ainsworth the
toughest town on record, asserting to those
gathered around that if Gabriel ever blew
his trumpet over that town before the angel
could cross the river his instrument would
not only be stolen, but one-third of the
population would be kicking because it was
not more valuable WaHa Walza Union,

The Market Pig.

The style of market pig has undergone a
great change within few years. The large
400 or 500 pound hog is now seldom found,
says the Chicago Stock Journal. The over
grown hog is no longer sought after, and
pig-feeding has been more carefully studied
of late years. Shrewd feeders have found
that the older the hog. the more its carcass
costs per pound. It is also found that the
flesh of the large hog is coorser and stronger
and not as sweet and fine-hovored, as ten
to twelve pound pig. It is true, the older
and over-fatted hog Yields more lard, but
this does not carry profit with it, as lard
often brings no higher price than the side
pork. The inducement, therefore, to grow
these large hogs no longer exists, and the
200 to 300 pound pig has displaced the 500
pound hog.
