gram from J. D. Spreckels & Bros, OF

The Mechanics Fair, now being
held in Portland, is not up to what
the people had right to expect from
the elaborate notes of preparation that
have been sounded the past three
months. The agricultural display is
fair, but no better than that of last
year, and the array of agricultural and
mechanical machinery was, as it al
ways has been, good. But the same
old crazy-quilts were displayed and
the art gallery can only claim prece-
dence over former exhibits under the
supposition that age gives tone to
coloring of pictures as it does bead to
the finer vintage. Next year there is
some promise of improvement in the
exhibit to be made by the new organi-
zation.

There are many little details connected
with poultry raising which, if neglected,
will affect the profits most decidedly.
An important matter is thrift. The
fowls should be kept in perfect health.
All the droppings under the roOst should
be carefully saved, and kept dry and
under cover. This will be useful for the
crop of corn the following season. When
a flock of 100 hens is kept and 200 or 800
chickens are raised, the feathers will be
found to be of no small account. They
can be sold for cash, or will be received
in exchange by the tin peddler for wares
from his cart. Use economy in feeding
giving only what will be eaten clean at
each meal. From the growing stock Gull
the cockerels as soon as they are in con-
dition to kill for market; all food given
after that time is fed at loss. 1t is con-
sidered best by some to kill all yearling
hens in August or September before they
begin to moult, for the first is the best
laying season, and then it will be ncces-
sary to make room for the growing
pullets.
On the management of the growing
stock much of the profits depend If
not kept clean and in small focks to pre-
vent crowding, and the coops kept dry
and free from vermin, their growth
will be checked and much loss
will result. A too common practice
among farmers is to throw down to their
fowls broken ears of corn, enough for
them to pick from for day or two, Civ
ing little of anything else, and then they
wonder why the hens don't lay better.
Common stock that is not kept specially
for laying, but to kill for market, can
bear corn diet and will fatten on it, but
the fowls will appear dull and not have
the bright appearance of LAYING pullet.
The more the food of the laying hens is
varied the better will be their health and
consequent increase in the production of
eggs. Another very important point is
their breeding condition in spring. They
should be free from excessive fat; be
bright, active, and in perfect health.
A good system of winter feeding for
best results is to have the food ready
about daylight The kettle kept for the
purpose should be put on the stove with
water or milk, together with all accumu-
lations of potato and apple parings,
little salt and pepper, aud good allow
ance of beef scraps. When this boils,
thicken with equal quantities of fine
mill-feed and corn-meal At noon give
some cabbage, beets, and finely cut row
en-, changing from one to another on
alternate days. A great aid to the thrift
of the fowls is to either furnish place
for them to scratch in for grain among
leaves, or give them the chaff from the
barn floor, from which they will pick
much seed and broken clover leaves, of
which they are very Characterization

How TO Raise Onions,

Any ordinary soil, when properly en-
riched, will grow onions. An alluvial
bottom land, properly drained, or free
from standing moisture, will answer
best One hundred barrels of onions to
the acre is a fair crop, though it will
sometimes go up to fifty more. The
crop will of course depend upon the
cultivation. Rich land, we'll looked
after, will produce twice as much as half
the farm gardens by the methods usually
employed in them. The manure may be
hauled on during the winter and plowed
in the spring The earlier the seed can
be got into the ground in the spring the
better, for if the plants do not get a
good start before the hot, dry weather
comes on, they do not do so we'll. The
ground must be brought into fine filth,
and then rolled fiat; the latter is of
much Importance in securing good set
of plants. The seed should for field
culture, be drilled in rows, one foot apart
in the rows, for convenience of cult
walton. The crop is often placed in beds
of five rows each, eighteen inches being
left for an alley.
The covering of the seed is best accom-
plished with light roller, drawing it
lengthwise of the lines. This rolling is
also beneficial to the crop Four pounds
of seed are required for an acre, and ii
must be sown by machine and known to
be good.
Onion sets are sometimes used instead
of seed to grow the crop of ripe, keeping
onions. In this case, seed is first sown
as before but the rows need not be more
than six or nine inches apart and the seed
should be put in twice as thick as for a
crop of market onions. Besides keeping
them clean of weeds the principal aim is
to induce the formation of perfect min
iature onion. If not obtained, then early
in August the crop is all pulled up and
laid in rows on the ground, roots, tops
and all. In the ripening which follows,
small, perfect onion is formed which
is the set. After these sets have been
dried and cleaned they can be readily
kept until Spring when, being planted
out, they will furnish fine crop of either
early green onions or ripe ones later on.
Those who find any difficulty in raising
marketable onions from seed can always
succeed by sets
For Spring onions or pickles, the Silver
skinned is best; for heavy crops, Yellow
Danvers is one of the most productive.
The Strasburg. or Yellow Dutch, and the
large Red Wethersfeld are also good. -

Saved Her Life and Married Her.

A Davenport, Iowa, paper says: The
marriage of Miss Fannie Porter, daugh
ter of ID. G. Porter, for years resident
in Davenport, and Edward n. Har-
wood, lawyer, which occurred last
week at the home of the brides parents
in Billings, Montana, is but the fru
ition of an attachment which commenc
ed romantically indeed. A year age
last summer Mr.. HARDWOOD saved Miss
Porter's life at the risk of his own. Mr..
and Mrs. Porter, with their daughter
and Mr.. HARDWOOD, were out for a drive.
They were crossing Il river on an old
style rope ferry, when the horses com
menced backing. Mr.. HARDWOOD haG
left the vehicle. Mr.. and Mrs. Porter
leaped from the carriage, and when the
daughter attempted to follow she plung,
ed into the river and was carried away
by the current. Instantly Mr.. Harwood
leaped in for her rescue, and being al
expert swimmer, soon caught her. He
had hardly reached her when she faint
ed from exhaustion. Sustaining her

Mr.. Porter and the ferryman were hay,
ing all they could do to restrain Mrs.
Porter, who was determin ed to leap in
to the water to help save her daughter.
When Mr.. HARDWOOD was within few
feet of the shore with his precious bur
den he was so exhausted that he was
unable to swim longer. and they prob

How Jail Birds Get Liquor.

The Chicago Ne'cs says: ''It's a note
worthy fact" said a well-knOwn crimi-
nal lawyer, E'that almost the first request
a lawyer will receive when he comes to
visit his client in the jail will be in the
form of q demand for liquor. Crime and
the drinking habit are twin brothers, mad
it is, [ can assure you, very rare thing
in our experience to meet a jail bird who
is not addicted to strong drink. But
what are you going to do? Your man
Graves for his old stimuIant, begs for it
with more earnestness than he does for
his freedom. He must have it, and as
rule he gets it, too. I'll tell you how.
When he becomes annoyingly persist
ent we say to him: Get your liquor, if
you must have it, in the regular way.
No lawyer will take it to you. That
isn't professional Then he cries: But
what is the regular way? 1t is not al
lowed in the jail; how can l get it? We
say to him: Haven't you some relative
OF acquaintance of the other sex? Let
her bring rum. She can carry it easily
under shawl or cloak, and while stand
ing up close to the wire talking to you
she can smuggle the stuff in without
any trouble
CHOW, to make myself understood, 1
will tell you that there is more than one
rubber tube in the jail, carefully stored
away in cells occupied by the expert
enced boarders, and that these tubes are
pretty regularly made to do syPhon
duty from one whiskey flask to another.
The prisoner gets hold of an empty
fask-that is easily done; he is visited
by his female relative, who carries
under her shawl a flask full of liquor.
The tube is put out through the wire
netting and the other end is inserted in
the bottle. The other end the prisoner
takes in his mouth and proceeds at once
to establish suction on it that causes
the whiskey to leave the first bottle and
flow steadily into the other bottle, which
is conveniently hid under the fellows
coat. Well, that is one way of getting
in contraband goods"

FARM AND GARDEN.
Grating Grape Vines.

Dig away the ground around the vine
until smooth place is found on the stem,
cut it off smoothly and insert one OF
more scions as in cleft grating, bandage
unless the stock is strong enough to hold
the scion without, press the earth around
the cut and fill up to the top of the scion.
Another way is to make slantiug cut
downward toward the middle of the
stock, cut the scion to a wedge and push
it down on one side so as to join the
bark of the stock; in this case the stock
need not be cut off until you are sure
the scion has started. Grating above
ground may be done in the same manner
by drawing the earth up around the
graft and removing it after the scion and
stock are permanently joined, but graft
ing below the surface is the most certain
way, and March and April are the usual
months. Propagating the vine by layers
and cuttings is the easiest and most com
mon method. -Neao York IForJa.

A MIXED UP STORY.
Curious Story of PcnsiOncr, a
Dead Man, Bear and Three
Wives.


The Pension Department has I'M
earthed queer, long story, one end OF
which rests in Michigan and the other
end in Pennsylvania. A veteran IN
Pennsylvania applied for pension and
proved up as Daniel Tenney, of the
Eighty third Pennsylvania Volunteers,
Company +. A woman in Stanton,
Mich, applied at about the same time as
the widow of the same soldier. Now that
Il man should be alive and still have q
widow was proposition that the pension
sharks We're not prepared to admit, and
an investigation was instituted. 1t re-
suited in showing that the woman was
acting in perfect good faith and be-
ieved that she was a widow, and that
furthermore she was a good and honest
person. Her husband was q worthless
old chap, more fond of going out hunt
ing and wearing a coonskin cap than he
was of working for a living. One day
he started out for a hunt and never came
back. The neighbors at Stanton made
up their minds that he had persisted III
the woods, and soon as the snow Went
off the next Spring they found the
mangled body of a man, black bear
and a coonskin cap lying in the woods
near Farwell, and from the surround
ing circumstances it was supposed,
without doubt, that Tenney and
the bear had INDUCED in a discussion
which had resulted fatally to both, and
that Mrs. Tenney was a widow. 1t Is
now found that Tenney was not killed
by the bear, but had slid out to Pennsyl-
vania, where he took up life with an
other woman, who was his first and law
tul wife, of whose existence it Is pre-
sumed the Michigan woman knew
not.
Finally the Pennsylvania wife went to
Nebraska to get rid of him. Then he
married another woman. Now the
question arises, ''Who killed that bea"
and the man that'was found dead by the
bear2" The man certainly had on Ten
ney's clothes. If the bear killed the
man, how did he get Tenney's clothes
and put them on the dead body? A
bear cannot do such thing, especially
when he is feeling that he him
self is about to die. Now, the eyes of
supiciOn look towards Tenney, and the
natural conclusion is that he may know
more about who dressed up that corpse
than any one else. Meanwhile no one
has got the pension, and there are three
women in this land who think they have
an undivided interest in the husband
ship of Daniel Tenney. Mr., Tenney
is at large in the woods of Northern
Pennsylvania and keeping mighty still
about it all.-DetrOit Journal.

In New Zealand.

The biggest man, from financial
point of view, is man who revels in
the alliterative name of Johnny Jones
of Dunedin, New Zealand. Jones is
not name that commends itself to any
one by reason of its oddly, but the
Dunedin nabob who is thus known, is
man with singular history, and his
phenomenal upward flight from lowly
toiler at the oars of ferry boat to the
high estate of a merchant prince will
bear recounting. Formerly he piled a
lusty oar across a ferry, but one dark
night he was taken in hand by kindly
fate and steered right into a mine of
wealth. A large robbery had been com
mitted during the day, and rs night
came on the robbers appeared at the
ferry laden with their plumber. Hastily
they entered the boat, and invoked
Johnny to strain every nerve to reach
the opposite shore quickly. The de-
tectives were close in their wake, and
on touching the shore the gang of
crooks bethought themselves of nothing
save personal safety. Jumping from
the boat they scampere1 across the
country, leaving their treasure in the
possession of Mr.. j. Jones. That wor.
thy was very poor, but very sly, and he
froze to the money bags with all the
vim of salty nature, and quietly wait
ed until the excitement had subsidized
Then he invested his little pile in n
short steamboat line, and making n
handsome profit on the investment,
soon bought out larger line. Now he
is fabulously wealthy and has an inter
est, minor or major, i'll almost every
steamship line that finds Dunedin a
paying port to touch at.
