THE BEARING YEAR OF APPLEs.-E.
w. Wood furnishes interesting facts
about changing the bearing year of ap
Piles by removing the blossoms while the
trees are small, when the work is done at
comparatively little expense and the
change is likely to remain more perma-
nent. In 1874 he grated two small trees
with Hubbardston Nousuck and in 1878
his boys picked off the blossoms. IL
1879 the blossoms were allowed to remain;
in 1880, the even year, there were but
few, but in 1881, the odd year, they gave
five bushels of apples each, while the
tree from which the gratis were taken
di not show a blossom. The report of
the American Pathological Society shows
that an enthusiastic orchardist, at an ex-
pense of $50, sheared all the blossoms
from his trees in 1880, and as result
harvested 600 bushels of apples in 1881,
which sold at the orchard for $1,000, or
$3.50 a barrel.

To PRODUCE EGGS IN WINTER.-The
natural tendency of all fowls is produce
eggs only in spring and summer, and the
recent Improvements in this particular
are due to good care, selection and improve
ment in breeding. To make it compari-
lively easy to obtain eggs in winter some
previous arrangements are essential.
Chicks of the larger breeds should be
Matched as early as the middle of April
that they may obtain good growth.
The smaller breeds may do well enough
Matched by themiddle Of May. For win
ter layers hardy breeds with small combs
are best as less liable to injury in ex-
treme cold weather. All fowls require
warm houses, from which cold winds
are shut off and much sunshine is admit
ted, so that the fowls may be comfortable.
Plenty and variety of food and drink
should be always before them, or given
at stated intervals, and should not be ice
cold. Constant good care is necessary if
it is intended that they should lay eggs IN
winter. 1t is necessary to keep in mind
that good substitutes for all the fowls
gather running at large in summer should
be provided and given daily

orders have been received at the mill for
lumber for eight new residences, five of
which are to be built on Avenue G,

Last Saturday was the hottest day We
have seen after residence of thirteen
years in the Territory. the thermometer
at p. m. indicating 81 degrees above
zero. Previously the highest point
reached was 95 degrees. in 1876.
Harvesting. or, rather, haymaking,
began in good earnest last Monday
morning, and the clatter and racket of
mowers are heard on every side. This
weather, thsueh dry and damaging to
other crops, will prove good streak for
the haymakers.
A few months ago most of the lumber
used in Snohomish City was shipped
from Seattle. but now there is a change
in the program. Quite large order
for clear dressed lumber was received
at Blackman Bros. Il Co.'S mill last
night, from Seattle. to be filled az soon

A wagon road across the Cascade

I'VE have had excellent success in

have men at work and are advertising
Tor more, and We will have the Snoaual-
mie road open for general travel by DC
tober lst, and for light immigrant trav-
oil at an earlier date. We are also open
ing road to the Columbia at Priest
Rapids, where We will establish ferry,
and we will cot out roads from that
point to Ainsworth and other points in
Eastern Washington. Tbe Puget Sound

west side of the mountains-thatp portion
OF this section between this and the
summit, and that of outside sections be-
tween this and the Columbia. We be-
lieve go effects are bound 70 follow in
the shape of immigrant and other tray-
el that will be attracted to our respective
sections, and will warrant your people
in giving Us 5000 subscription to be
used in the establishment of ferries and
roads from and down the Columbia
river at Priest Rapids, by which beef
and other live stock may be driven to
Puget Sound, and the travel referred to
may pass to and fro. We have ar
ranged to issue the company's capital
