"A stone heap under tree often
causes it's death. 1t obliges the tree
roots to feed near the surface, and
then freezing. Against this the stones
offer no protection, which is the cause
of the injury. -
Now and then we hear of horse
being injured by coming into contact
with barbed wire. This can be avoided
by leading the horse up to the fence
and pricking its nose against the barbs
when it is first turned into the en-
closure.
Every lost or broken or WORKOUT
screw bolt should be replaced with a
new one before the implement is
stored in the tool-house or barn, so
that when spring comes every thing
will be ready for work.
Drowned Turnips: Pare, slice and
cut them In dice an inch square, boil
till nearly done in as little water as
possible, and to one quart turnip add a
tablespoon of sugar, and salt to taste;
when boiled us dry us possible without
burning, add two or three spoons of

TO keep lamp chimneys from

water and place the new chimney in it,;
cover the pan and let it's contents boil

let the chimney remain in the water
until it is cold.
Fall is the time to manure the
rhubarb plant. Cover it's crown lib

spring draw the manure away, cover
the crown with barrel open at both

"A horse appreciates comfortable
| fitting harness as much as he does a
properly lifted shoe. The latter, when
set too tight, or with a nail driven in
to or near the sensitive tissues, pro-
duces a positive lameness. Under this
condition of things he is promptly
taken to the shop for relief. But he
may suffer nearly or quite as much
from the chatting of a badly-ftted COL
lar. or a narrow belly-band drawn too
tight, or from a check-rein shortened
up so as to form of itself one of the Sc
verest punishments. Either of these
conditions produce restiveness in the
dullest brute, and in the case of an
animal OF nervous temperament and
having thin, sensitive skin, he is lia-
bic to become frantic, the obtuse own
err or driver seldom approaching the
| origin of the difficulty.

THE SPOKANE FALLS FIRE,

The ews early yesterday morning
of the terrible fire in Spokane Fall!
excited the liveliest interest. The
wires were down part of the day
and went down again in the evening
and it was only with the utmost diff
Guilty few dispatches were secur ed
last night.
1t will be seen that urgent aid is
needed. Astoria can not afford to be
behind in this matter.
A prominent resident of Spokane
was interviewed yesterday evening.
He arrived here Sunday and was nat
urally desirous of knowing the extent
of the damage and his probable losses.
What kind of fire department
have you" was asked.
Very good" was the reply. 1--WE
have no fire engines, the same as Won
have in Astoria, but depend on the
river for ouF supply. There are three
pumping engines, one with one mil
lion gallons daily pumping capacity
one with three millions, and one with
five millions"
DO yOu think the town was set
on fire?' was the next question.

share of the tough element. yet | don't
think that the town was set on fire.

Just the same as at Seattle

Yes: it was ali pretty well in

me Is the rapidity with which the fire
spread, for Spokane Falls is very sol
idly built of brick and stone. with
very few frame buildings, proportion

Spokane Falls is cursed with a gang

Owing To the fact that water is
slightly compressible the lower strata
of the ocean are pressed into a smaller
space than they would occupy at the
surface. This means that the ocean
is somewhat shallower than it would
he if water were perfectly incompres-
sible. According to Prof. TAFT, Sin a
depth of six miles the decrease in
depth from this cause would be 620
feet; and If the water of the ocean
were to suddenly cease being COM
pressible the result would be that
per cent, of the habitable land on the
globe would be submerged, because
the main level of the sea would be
raised by 100 feet"
