G. w. Slender will have a hearing before
Justice Fleischer to-day on a charge Of rs
sault and false imprisonment preferred by
Joseph Narioheck. Both men belong in
East Helena, and the story Maricheck tells
ia this: While sick in Vt. Peters hospital
he left his washing with q woman in East
Helena. On ~reOovering and leaving the
hospital, he got Ats clothes and paid the
m her bill. Taking his clean cloth
ing to his room hslproceeded to change his
linen. While engaged in this Slender
rushed in, and ssiAs he was an officer and
had come to arrest Marioheck for not pay
ing his laundry bill. Maricheck asked for
the alleged officers papers: In reply stem
der presented a revolver. This was enough.
Marlcheck went with Slender to the wash
woman's. There No refused again to pay
his bill. On the ground that he had done so
once. On his persisting in his refusal to
pay, Maricheck wal let 60. Slender was
unable to furnish $3.50 bail, and slept last
night in Jail.

A New Scale Rug Parasite,

A bulletin of the California state board of horticulture, No. 57, by Alex ander Craw, quarantine officer of the board, just issued, describes two para sitic chalcid flies found preying exten- sively on the red tor yellow) scale of the orange. The scale is known technically as aspidotus citrinus or Coquillett. This scale has proven exceedingly injurious to orange groves where it has gained a foOthold, and it is very hard to clear the trees of it. The parasite is very minute chalcid or four-winged fly or gnat, scarcely to be seen with the un- aided eye, and known as coccophagus atrinus. It is parasite of the right kind, for it does not destroy all of its natural prcy-the scale-but leaves enough for seed; therefore, we may ex- pect to have both the scale and parasite with us. Its numbers are sufficient to so hold the scale in check as to make if practically harmless.
 Another much larger chalcid fy which is as yet supposed to be new and unnamed, but will be known as the golden Chalcid fly, has been observed destroying the same scale. Thus, one by one our noxious scales are being de- sttoyed by their natural enemy-the parasitic and cannibalstic insects. We believe that at present there is only one bad orange-infesting scale left but what death-dealing parasite or cannibal has been found preying on it. That is the true red scale of the orange, aspidotus aurantii. Nothing so far has been found to destroy this but to fumigate the trees with the deadly hydrocyanic gas. Yet, in its original habitat, this scale had it's natural enemies, and they should be hunted up and introduced. Spraying to destroy scale bugs is laborious, costly and ineffective when done in the best possible manner, and when wrongly done causes injury instead of good, for the reason that it kills at best only portion of the injurious bug, but surely kills all of the bugs enemies, but the farmers best friands

sand at the bottom of the river, although there is no evidence offered that the sand dces move or any reason given why it should move.
 The explanation, doubtless, rests upon the fact that such a phenomenon as singing or barking sand is known to ex- ist in several parts of the world. It Is not likely that wet sand would produce the sounds mentioned. It is more prob- able that fish make these noises, for fish can sing very nicely, too. It seems rather funny to speak of singing fish. but many of them do certainly produce vocal sounds. Croakers get thelr names iron the noise they make. Bluefsh protest indignantly when they are pulled out of the water, but these are not such sounds as constitute the music of the fish.-Mobile (Ala,) Register.

Tho Rnmie Plant.


 The ramie plant is native of Eastern Asia. It belongs to the nettle family but is free from the stinging prickles of the common nettle. Its fiber is very fine and strong with lustre like silk. It has been used for time immemorial in the Eastern countries for the manufacture of cloth, from the finest imaginable to the coarsest and heaviest. It comes nearer wearing forever than any other cloth known. The ramie plant grows freely in good soil in any warm climate. It gives heavy crop of fiber to the acre, and has only been kept from becoming the most valuable fiber plants by the difficulty of freeing the fiber from woody matter and gum. This was done origi- nslly by soaking the plant for long time in warm fermenting water and then scraping the fiber clean with a bam- boo knife. It was then split into fine threads by hand. This tedious plan gave thread for cloth even finer and stronger than silk and of much greater wearing value. Some improvement was made in cleaning it by long boiling and soaking it in alkaline solutions, but this spoiled its natural lustre and weakened the fiber. Many years ago the East ln- dia company offered prize of $25, ,OOO for practical machine for cleaning ramie fiber. Numerous inventors have been at work on the problem and many ma chimes have been made and heralded as being able to do the work practically, but so far as known none have succeeded very well. It looks now as if this coast will have the honor of first accomplishing this task. A machine has recently been made that is claimed will do the work perfectly. CuriOusly, this process is ex- Ceedingly simple and the great wonder is that it was not thought of and prac- ticed centuries ago. It consists of thor oughly drying the straw and then crush ing and beating it by machinery. It has been found that when the straw is actu- ally dry the insOluble gum beats up into . .dust, leaving the fiber perfect and bright. This is best done in the sun in dry eli mates-Of which this coast has super abundance. It is possible that we will be the first great producers of ramie fiber in commercial quantities. If this new idea proves the full success it now promises it will work tremendous rev. OlutiOn in ramie culture. It is stronger that flax, hemp or silk and surpasses all of them for durability. The plant is cas- fly cultivated it's roots being planted and cultivated the first year and there after it cares for itself. It yields two to four crops in a season. Commercial ramie fiber is worth $2OO ton in unlim- ited quantities. It may supersede all other tibers, and even dethrone King Cotton.

Farm Machinery.

It is wonderful the advances made in farm implements during the past forty years. Let the middle aged man recall how the farmer worked 30 years ago and the old man how it was fifty ant sixty years ago. And yet each year brings out great improvements. What will the end be if we keep on? In older times it took the mass of laborers to til the soil, the few to do the manufactur ing. This is fast being reversed. In the near future the few will do the field work, which will be mostly easy ant pleasant, while the great mass will dc light labor in shops.

Root Grating Is Best.

The great preponderance of the testi- mmy given by practical orchardists is in favor of fruit trees grown by what is termed root grafting, by which is meant the -rafting of a scion of the variety wanted on short piece of root that has no objectionable features. Plant the graft, deeply, and the scion will event. ua'y throw out roots of its own with therc>ult that the established tree is on Its own natural roots. This mode of ropagotion is always best in every par hco.ar, except in cases where ingrafted
 roots are objectionable or unsuited to

EN0R SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS " been felt by the orange grower of southern California for q fertilizer adapted 10 this fruit We have been successful in finding jus the food, and now offer to the orange srower our Orange Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid. ammonia and other ingredients, and is Il complete manure for growing trees. from time oi srtt'ng out to iull maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaSte for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates,a according to Prof. HilgHrd. will be found much better sdap'ed to the purpose than either barnyHrd or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance m the cultiva- tion of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating The quantity used on old trees a, cordlng to the age of the tree-tree 5 years otd, 5 pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. lf the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, a greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating Price, s36 per ton.

The Farmer Should Plan.

The farmer, above all other workers, should plan out his work far ahead, and do his best to carry out his plans. It is not to be expected that he can carry out all of his plans in minute detail. Things will happen to interfere. The weather will change, storms will come, accidents will happen; yet, if he has his plans well matured beforehand and tries faithfully to observe them, his work will be easier.
