The Btuebird's Song.

Sing thy sweet solo, soft and low.
Where drspcd hags arc unrolled.
Here heroes sleep, uuvcxed by woe,
Beneath the hallowed mold.
Roses offlame, lilies of snow,
We strew with dafodils OF gold.
Thy song salutes nation free,
And charms the listening ear;
No war notes IN thy melody,
Blue-coated volunteer.
Music awakes the memory
or deede of loved ones sleeping here.
Sweet song bird. robed IN soitest blue,
Proudly the grand old tree
Holds high its arms so stout and tue.
Is he not fond of theef
Thy nest is trimmed with beads OF dew,
Thy eggs rsdient rosary.

Notes.

There is no known cure for hog cholera.
Our wool pro luct has more than doubled
the last ten years.
Feed the pigs the refuse fruit and vege-
tables from the garden.
Congress has given away 26O,OOO,0OO
acres Of public lands since 1900.
Often the profits made from the best
cows go to defray the losses on the others.
1t is generally considered now that feed
ing cattle after they are three years old Is a
losing business.
Hogs on pasture should have some grain
each day, so as to ripen the growth as fast
az made.
There are lOo, 900, 900 sheep In Australia.
Flocks there are large, numbering from 90
to 25O, 900, one flock containing over $780,
900 head.
Turning the cows on clover pasture Is
perhaps the means of increasing the milk
yield and making greater quantity Of yell
low butter.
High prices for fancy cattle are not so
much the rage as they formerly were, and
more solid and rational basis.
The little calves should have shady run
or be kept in the stable during the heat of
the day. The flies and heat will do them
great harm unless some protection Is af-
forded them.
The dairy COW should be suited to her
mission 10 life and not be mere stock or
beef animal. Her business is to give milk,
and not many beefy animals are adapted to
this purp. Sc.
Oil cake and cotton seed are valuable ad-
juncts to other feeds when intellgently
used. The large exports OF these commod-
tiles show that the use OF them In this
country Is not as large as 1t onght to be.
The spring calves should be made to
grow very rapidly all this summer aud be
10 good condition 10 the fall to start into
the winter; but this cannot be expected II
they are turned out to pasture. without
feed, as soon AS they learn to pick little
grass, as is too often the case. They
should have grain or milk, or both, twice q
day regularly, all summer through II they
are expected to make fine large beeves by
the time they are two years old, As they
can be made to do.

AS TO WOODEN Nu7MEos.

The Original Maker of Them-Their Oriel-
nator the Same Man Who Invented the
Likewise Famous Wooden Hams.
Among the articles on sale from CON-
aecticut at the New Orleans Exposition
will be 16O wooden nutmegs, lorded
over by solitary giant specimen foot
or Whereabouts in height. This ex-
elusive product of Connecticut had q
large sale at the Centennial, and will
probably command premium at New
Orleans. The story of Connecticut
being the land of wooden nutmegs and
wooden hams has been supposed by the
average citizen to be highly legendary,
but it is proved the contrary.
II believe l am the first man who
ever made wooden nutmeg" said j.
II. Most, of this city. 81 can not tell
you the year, but it was long ago. I
also made wooden ham. / never
make them of any other material than
the Charter Oak, of which tree rem
nants still remain with me. When I
made the first it was commented upon
extensively in the newspapers and shown
to an old dealer in spices who said, with
out smelling of it, that it was very
good nutmeg. When the fact of the
sample being q wooden imitation came
out the laugh was turned against him.
OF course you can detect them bv their
lightness of weight and puncturing
them, but not always by the lack of

nutmeg upon them and keep them
wrapped up in it until the aroma is con-
firmed. The whiteness is chalk. The
real nutmeg is not streaked with white
in its native state. Being an oily kernel,
the experts rub it with whitening or
some other white powder. In making
the imitation / first rub them out
roughly in lathe. Then have to core
and rub them by hand. holding them
between my thumb and fingers. This is
q very trying task. had an order for
making some for the Southern military
visitors, and the time was so short had
to work nights. My hands became so
cramped that I could hardly use them
for some days"
The fabricator of Connecticut's
wooden nutmegs displayed a box of
them. They were SO natural that the
visitor was thoroughly deceiyed-as was
little housewife later on, more won
derful feat. ''Ihey went off like hot
cakes at the Centennial" he said, "and
l suppose they will meet with the same
reception South" Mr.. Most will send
several samples, highly polished, Of
Charter Oak wood, with transfer pic
ture of the famous tree upon them. He
will also send his roll of all the Govern
ors of Connecticut and their years of
service made of Charter Oak letters on
dark-blue background. -Neao Haren

A Genuine Snowstorm.

Never since the first settlement OF
WaseO county, writes the oldest inhablt-
ant, has so much snow been on the
ground Mt one tine as lay over nearly
every portion Of the county on the trst
day of January. Commencing Saturday,
Dec. 13, snow fell almost constantly for
twenty days, and when the storm cleared
away 106 inches had fallen, which had
settled until the actual depth was not
far from sixty inches. A week after the
storm began everv town and settlements
in the county was as completely isolated
az if it were distant thousand miles
from aay other place. For many days
the Dalles was the hub of the universe
for all who CHANGED to be caught within
its limits, business was almost complete
ly suspended, and people devoted them
selves to shoveling snow from their
abOdes and walks. For several days
snow shoyelers were paid 81 an hour.
and were hard to find at that prize. Tile
streets in the business portion OF the
town were barricaded with the aceumu-
lation of snow from the roofs and side
walks, the heaps in many places tower
ing nearly to the awnings. At some
business places tunnels were dug from
the sidewalk to the middle of the street,
where there was less depth. Breaking
roads within the city limits became a
difficult task, and to open the roads into
the country was not attempted until the
snow was settled. The absence OF the
wind. as we'll as the low temperature,
was remarkable. The snow lay where 1T
fell, and no hill top was left bare to fur
nish feed for stock which was at dis
lance from hay stacks. On Tuesday
morning, Dec. 80, the mercury reached
90 deg. below zero at the UmatiIla House,
and only once or twice during the storm
did it reach 20 deg. abOye.-Portland
