all things into consideration, the
people of Lost River have reason to
be we'll satisfied with the progress
they have made in the past and the
outlook for the future is in every
respect favorable. All of them who
are good rustlers are now well es
tablished and in fair way of get
ting along in the world.
The present season is very favor
able one in every respect for most
of the farmers here, and crops of all
kinds are looking better and give
promise Of a larger yield than ever
before. The hay crop is the best we
have had for severa. years. The
Island now presents the appearance
of vast natural meadow thickly
covered with a rank and luXuriant
growth of rye grass and blue joint,
the best Of hay. Haying has now
fairly commenced, and the merry
sound Of the mower is heard on
every hand. The presence of the
girls in the bayfield, with the radient
glow of 'simple beauty and rustic
health" under their bonncts, adds a
tinge of romance to the scene, and
I've old bach" takes his shotgun and
hunts for grouse and sagehens
through the meadows where thu
Lost River Maud Mullers are raklns
hay.
The river did not rise to anywhere
near its usual heighth this year, an'
for this and other reasons there il
an entire absence of our usual sum
mer pest, the mosquito. The sud
den fall of the river was the caus
of considerable loss and inconven
fence to some of our amateur farm
ers who, in the language of one Q
them, found chat low water would
not run in a high water ditch
All the mountain ravines are fiji
of wild currants and goosebcrrie

To TaE EDITOR OF THE TINES
Although this section has not es
capped its share of the prevailing de-
preston and hard times, it can be
truthfully said that the settlers of
Lost River Valley are now in fair
" prosperous condition and in every
respect our Island neighhorhood is
showing quiet and steady improve
ment. The hard struggles with
poverty and all the other difficulties
which invariably attend the settle
ment of new country have been
felt in their full force here. Very
few of the settlers had any means
whatever to start with, and many Of
them were forced to rustic for work
in the mining camps to procure the
wherewith to make settlement and
necessary improvements on their
claims. Many Of the first settlers
were miners and prospectors whose
time was entirely occupied in 'rep-
resenting" the land claim two OF
three months of the year and hole
in the ground on some distant mount
ain-side the remainder. Moreover
there was the genus old "stin" still

RAT.PROOF GRANARlES.
How to Construct One That VIII Resist All
Attempts at Entrance.

How to Construct One That VIII Resist All
Attempts at Entrance.
Every farmer understands the i'm
portance of having rat and mouse
proof grainaries, as few have not. at
times, suffered severely from the dep
relations of these destructive pests.
We have (but years ago. on one or
two occasions alluded to this matter
and given directions for constructing
grainaries that would resist all at
tempts at entrance. The following
from an old correspondent would seem
to be all that is necessary in construct
ing rat-proof grainaries:
1.-The lumber for the floor below and
above as well as for the sides must be
of hemlock, one and one-quarter inches
thick, seasoned, planed and matched;
the joists for the lower floor two by
ten of any durable wood the studding
of the sides hemlock. Lay the
Hoor perfectly level. Take four
pieces of two by four scantling, the
length of each side of the room, and
dress; make a groove near the upper
side near the outer edge to receive the
tongue of the first board of the ceiling,
the ceiling to be put up tongue down
and nailed through both edges just
beneath the tongue and grooves.
Mitre the ends of these scantlings
and nail firmly to the floor.
Erect at each corner two pieces
of like scantling, the sides of which
have been squared, perpendicular to
the scantling on the floor; carry up to
the top of the joists above, on which
lay the upper floor. Never cell below
these joists. Make the door to slide
and fit, and then you may bid rats and
mice to do their best and their worst.
Ventilation may be given through the
door at the top and bottom, protected
with a strong wire screen" If, how
ever, any of our practical farmers have
any other method known to be COM
plete protection against rats, we
should be glad to hear from them.
Hemlock, owing to its resinous nature,
offers an impenetrable barrier to these
desperate rodents, who gnaw through
leaden water-pipe. Indeed, so far as
our experience extends, it is so. Some
years ago we built what we called
refrigerator in the bottom of the eel
lar, three by six feet in length and
breadth, and three in depth. 1t was
lined with hemlock, except the bot
tom, which was solid ground, and COW
cred with a hemlock door. In this
our meats, butter, ETC., were kept, as
they were never kept before, but the
rats got into it-not, however, through
the hemlock lining or covering. but by
digging down the three feet outside to
the bottom of the lining, and passing
under it! They were then effectually
headed of by flooring the bottom with
he,nlock. -G<rmaatops Telegraph,
Huntsville gazette., 1888-11-24
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

"A kit OF carpenters tools saves
many dollars by mending breaks and
making general repairs, supposing
each man has some genius for their
use.
Cultivate to keep the weeds from
using the plant food needed for the
crop of grain, cultivate that the air
may penetrate the soil, thereby carry
ing the gases among the roots and
developing more plant food.
-Molasses will remove the grass
stains so often found on the summer
clothing Of children. Rub the mo-
lasses as if it were soap, on the stained
place, and then wash the garment in
the ordinary fashion.-Houseaoye.
Picked Herrings. split
and bone fresh herrings, sprinkle each
with pepper and salt, and roll up from
head to tail and lay side by side in a
deep dish; pour over plenty OF vinegar.
Place in hot oven and when the
vinegar has boiled minute or two,
withdraw them; serve when cold.
The most healthful dessert that
can be placed on the table is baked
apples. If taken freely at breakfast,
with coarse bread, and without meat
of any kind, it has an admirable effect
on the general system, often correct
ing tendencies to disease more effectu-
ally than the most approved medi-
cines.-Prof Faradan.
Almond Custards. Take four
ounces of sweet almonds; two and
half ounces of sugar; one pint OF cream;
one teaspoonful Of rose water; the
yelks of four eggs. Blanch the al
munds and beat them to a smooth paste
with tablespoonful of water, using
few drops occasionally; add the rose
water to the cream, the beaten yelks.
almonds and sugar; place it over boil
ing water, and stir until it thickens.
Serve in cups.-Toledo Blade.
Fig Layer Cake. One cup Of
sugar, three even tablespoonfuls OF
butter. one egg and the yelks of two,
two-thirds of cup of milk, two cups
of flour, one teaspoonful of soda, two
Of cream of tartar; bake in three
layers. Fig paste: One cup of sugar.
one-fourth cup of water, boil till thick;
test by dropping a little in cold water,
like candy; beat the white of one egg
to stiff froth; chop eight figs very
fine, take the sugar from the stove,
cool five minutes, add the white OF
egg, beat five minutes and add the
figs. Spread on the cake.
Glover is subject to several de-
structive diseases. There is weevil
which destroys the seed, borer which
Injuries the stems, louise which at
tacks the roots and causes gals upon
them, and other insects which destroy
the flowers. The gals on the roots
sometimes cause the death of the
plants over large spaces in the fields,
the reason for which is rarely sus-
pected. The remedy for all these
pests is to grow clover at longer in
tervals, SO that the insects can not re-
produce themselves and perish for
want of sustenance. - Philadelphia
