AN AXE WITH A HISTORY

SALEM, Or, Dec. 31.-At 3 o'clock
this afternoon alarge crowd gathered
at the stable of the Salem Street Rail
way company to witness the driving
OF the first spike in the street rail-
way. Some time was consumed in
curving a rail to lead from the street
to the door of the stable. While
this was being done Father J. L.
Parrish, the well-knoWn pioneer, who
had been chosen as the man most de-
serving of the honor of driving the
first spike, proceeded to hew the ends
of the first plank to be laid on the
road. The tool used in this work
was broadax, about eight inches
across the face and about four across
the bit. The AK has history, which
can best be given in Father Parrish's
own words. When the rail had been
placed in position, Father Parrish
stepped forward, and holding the AK
high above his head, spoke as fol
lows:
"GentIemeR: 1 hold in my han d
the first American ak ever brought to
Oregon. The ak was purchased by
the board of missions of the Metho-
dist church in New York in 1888, and
was sent around the Horn with other
supplies for the Oregon mission. 1t
arrived here in 1884, at the same time
that Rev. Jason Lee, the first super
intendent of the mission reached Or
egon after crossing the plains. Ii
was used by Jason Lee in doing all
the hewing for the mission buildings
along the Willamette from the foun-
dation of the mission in 1884 until
1S41. The mission had by that time
procured another ak, aud this one
was sent to the missionaries who
were building their home at Clatsop
The Chinook steamer" (an Indian
canoe) on which the ak and other
supplies had been started down the
river, struck a snag at Rays Landing,
and the ak, together with other tools
and supplies was sunk. A month
later the ak was fished out of the
river and sent on to the Clatsop mis-
sion, where it did all the hewing fol
the buildings there.
I'm 1913 was placed IN charge o1
the Clatsop mission, and the ak came
into my possession. I have kept il
ever since. It was in my house which
was burned last November. I was
afraid that its temper had beer
taken out by the heat; but ]
had it ground for this occasion
a new handle put in, and il
is as good as it ever was. Iintend
now to inscribe it with its interesting
history, and then deposit it in the
museum of the Willamette Univer
sity."

The transition from long, lingering

marks an epoch in the life of the indi-

"a BEASTLY PROFESSION"

JOURNALISM is a beastly profession,
anyhow. One-half of ths brains expend
ed in any other direction would bring
tenfold the results.-Erchdnge.
The above extract is a sample of
the disgusting drivel one occasional
ly hears or sees, not only about the
newspaper business, but about every
other kind of work. But it always
comes with bad grace and from a dis
gruntled source. The man who is In
love with his work, business or pro-
fession is always loyal to it, makes the
most of it and tries to invest it with
respectable surroundings. The edi-
tor, reporter or printer who dislikes
his calling is not bound TO it by any
tie that he cannot break. He ought to
love it for his own good and that OF
the craft. So it is with the lawyer,
doctor, merchant, farmer, railroad
hand or artisan. When a man hears
his family spoken of in contempt he
resents it. Next to ones family is his
business, and when that is traduced it
is time for him to show right
eous resentment. If the writer
of the quoted paragraph thinks
Journalism is a beastly profess
sion," is he not a beast to longer re-
main in it?" This is a wide world,
and if brain power is better recog-
~nized in other ways, they are the
places to use the brain tissue. Look
ing the vocations all over, and strik-
ing a general average, it Will be found
that an honest dollar is earned with
practically the same effort in the one
as in another. The world is fairly
well regulated, and the various forces
and their compensations are adjusted
with delicacy not noticed by careless
observers. Newspaper work, is on
the whole, well paid, and there is
room in almost any Office, certainly IL
the columns of every first-class paper
for every writer who has anything tc
say that has not already been better
said. Men and women of moral and
mental force do not remain undiseov
cred very long, not if they respec'
themselves, which is the first essentia
toward winning the respect of Others
The man who doesn't like his business
ought to leave it and devote himself
to something that is not "beastly."

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at j. W..

the close season for salmon in the Co.

cerned, as at present there is virtually
no gill net fishing in April, the season
being thus shortened to about three
months. It is believed that change
in the existing law to make the limits
of the close season from April 18th to
August 18th would meet with general
approval.

The career of a government clerk
is fairly typifed in the case Of james
Eveleth, the veteran of the war de-
partment. He began working for the
United States in 1929 at $500 a year.
In 1886 he was given $1,000 a year;
in 1850, S1,250 a year; from 1851 to
1853 he was paid S1,500, and the next
year was promoted to $1,000. In 1864
he was given 81 800, and in 1885, on &C
count of advancing age, was reduced
to $1,000. There he is now at about
so years of age, and there he will die,
unless, perhaps, he lives long enough
to suffer further reductions.

Feeding Cotton Seed PRODUCED.

The Nel0 Orleans Times Democrat OBJ
serves, in Paris agricultural correspondence,
statements to the effect that cotton seed
cake, cotton seed oil and cotton seed mea
as cattle food, are rapidly being discarded
in France.
Those in position to experiment have de-
cided that it is not only injurious to the cat
tie, but it SO affects the milk and butter as to
destroy their healthful character. Besides
it vitiates the flavor of these products of
the dairy.
If fed continuously it has also deterio.
rating effect apon the meat of beef cattle,
giving it a decidedly unpleasant character
compared 'yitn the meat of cattle fed with
out this addition.
In France better care is exercised over
experiments of this kind than in our own
country; the tests are applied with greater
exactness; food tests are made with ex-
ceptionl care, for they have lolg stood at
the very head of the world in the depart
ment of cuisine.
Breeders and dairymen, unaccustomed to
the use of cotton seed meal, are liable to
use too much of this highly concentrated
| article of food. Used with discretion it is,
| without doubts one of the most valuable
milk-producing and fattsning substances in
| the world.

Change of Pasture.

1t is too common practice for land de-
voted to the pasture to be given to the stock
in body over which they have continuous
and unrestricted range, says the American
Agricuiturist. That this is not good policy
is apparent. The whole pasture surface is
kept constantly fouled and troden down. No
portion Of it is allowed to freshen up during
the grazing season. Actual test has proven
that two five-acre pastures, fed alternately,
are worth much more than one ten-acre
field fed continuously. The grass roots have
much better chance in the former, espe-
cially in the dry time. They are not then
constantly trsmpled, and the protecting
growth above fed down. One-half the past
ure is allowed an uninterrupted growth of
several days while the other is being fed.
This in turn will offer fresh feed while the
first Is getting rest, and 30 alternately
through the growing season.
The expense Of thus separating the past
ure into parts Is slight indeed compared
with the benefits realized. 1t is supposed
that the pasture is already surrounded with
fence. All that is required 10 make the
division IL TO run fence across the pasture

Farm and Stock Notes.

A successful dairyman for many years
gives 1t as his conclusion that well-fed COW
that docs not earn her entire value in a sim
gle year IS not worth keeping in the dairy.
Says he: "a COW that has cost SIS should
make net earning of $75."
Twenty pounds of hay and twelve quarts
of cats given daily is the estimated guam
tity of food for a horse, but this must be
regulated by the size of the animal, the
labor performed and the season of the
year.
A small crack in the wall of the stable
will do greater injury than to leave a win
dow out. More harm results from a con-
slant current of air coming on a portion of
the body of an animal than when the ami
NAL is exposed entirely.
Bran and SKINNED milk will make more
growth on pigs nov than anything else
Corn is required only when the pig is to be
made very fat. A rati IN in which corn is a
portion of the food will give better results
than to depend entirely on 1t for fattening.
Crowding hundred chickens in a COOP
that holds only fifty without food and
water may save an item of expense so far
as coops are concerned, but it causes loss
when the fowls reach the market in bad
condition. Quality takes in not only the
fowl as an article, but the condition, neat
ness, attractiveness and difference from that
already in stock and for sale.
Prof Robertson, a well-known dairy
authority, says it pays to give from two to
three pounds of bran to each COW daily
even where pasture is abundant. The best
way of giving bran in summer is in the
shape of drink. Place it in bucket of
water and stir we'll. If given a half hour
before milking a marked increase of milk
will be observed.
Salt is seldom given poultry, under the
superstition that it is injurious, which is
true If the salt is given in large quantities
but recent experiments prove that salt is
necessary to limited extent, as hens will
lay more eggs and remain in good condition
by allowing salt than if it is withheld en-
tirely. The proper mcde of giving salt to
poultry is by seasoning the soft food al
lowed the hens,
