Pearl Oysters,

The pearl oyster does not produce any
pearls until it is six or seven years of
age, and it is matter of great impor-
tance that it should not be disturbed in
any way during that length of time.
The oysters are obtained by the means
of men who are trained to the business,
and who can remain under water for a
considerable time without being
drowned. Each diver takes with him a
net-bag, for the purpose of holding the
oysters, puts his foot in stirrup, to
which hangs stone weighing about
thirty pounds, and after taking long
breath, is swiftly carried to the bottom.
He then fings himself on his face, fills
his bag as fast as he can, and when his
breath begins to fail shakes the rope as
signal, and is drawn up. together with
the bag.-Detroit Free Press.

GOOD ROADS.
"A Condition of First Importance in Rural

Condition of First Importance in Rura
| Community.
When we reflect upon it, it. seems ;
matter of surprise that our people car
remain satisfied with the general con
ditlon OF the public roads throughou,
the country. Yet it appears that We
are all something like the old fellow in
Arkansas, who when asked why he die

KANT Just so it is with us in regard
to working roads. In the summer.
when it is dry, the roads are necessari-
ly good and travel is easy; but in the
winter, when the rainy season sets in.
and the roads become muddy and bog
gy, we can not work them.
Until we have radical change in
our present bungling system of work
ing roads, it can not be expected that
our highways will ever be improved, or
be in condition to stand during the
rainy season.
S~ " '"ASO q year lne rOdQ over
seers call those who are subject to
road duty" together. Some will have
hoes, few spades, others axes, one or
two will bring team and plows-for
which extra compensation is allowed
and some bring no implements at all.
With this badly-equipped force the
''generalissimo of highways" begins the
ludicrous farce of improving the
roads. Moving along without any
method or well-defned idea of what
should be done, and how it should be
done, the work ~ begins. Here and
there the plowmen run a few shallow
burrows; the hoemen pull out the dirt
to the center, and the spademen throw
a few shovels from the sides, and par
excellence this scratching and scraping
is called grading or road-making. No
bitches of any depth are made on the
sides to drain the water from the road
bed, and very often the center is the
lowest part Of the road. Merrily the

jokes, going through routine called
work, and the demands of the ''road
law are said to be complied with. No
one will deny that this is the usual
method of woodworking in Louisiana,
says the Crowley Ia.) Signal. Yet,
with such tools to work with, and with
such laxity in enforcing the road laws,
how can we expect anything better?
The only relief that we can see is in
an entire change of the law regulating
the working of roads Instead of the
present inefficient system of requiring
SO many days labor-that is SO badly
performed-let special tax be levied
for road purposes. With this fund let
each parish purchase one or two good
road machines, a ditching-machine. a
road-plow and some scrapers. Then let
out the contract to some capable man
for the year to ditch and grade the roads
in proper manner-he giving bond and
security for an efficient and faithful
performance of his duties This plan
would doubtless cost much more at
first, but by having high road
beds graded and thoroughly drained,
it would prove matter of economy and
saving of time in the course of two or
three years. Because, when good, high
and solid road-beds were once estab-
lished, it would require but little labor
to keep them in repair and in frst-class
condition; then travel would be unob-
structed throughout the entire year;
few wagons or other vehicles would be
broken down; and full loads could be
hauled to and from the marts of trade.
If special tax should not be levied for
said purpose instead of calling out SO
many hands liable to road duty under
the existing law, then, at least, get the
improved implements mentioned, so
that we may expedite work. and at the
same time have the grading and drain
ing performed in substantial and per-
manent manner. One road machine,
drawn by good team in the hands of a
man of good Judgment, will do more
and better work than twenty men un-
der the present system. Let us have
change of some kind; because a country
without good solid roads can not be
prosperous and progressive The '.old
ruts" will necessarily impede travel;
the "old bogs" stop the "wheels of
commerce. and much of the fruits of
honest toll will be lost in the ''mire,
before reaching market.-Dixie Farmer

-"Letting the swine of the farm

change, without any system of control
on the part of the owner, is one of the
most wasteful and ruinous practices
that can be found on any farm.
In the orchard you can do good
work by scraping.the trunks and large
limbs with hoe, gathering up the
trash and burningit. Where apples were
left to rot under the trees, they should
be carefully scraped up and buried a
foot deep. BY this you will destroy
many codling moths in embryo.

ashes over the ground again. l also

INTENSIVE FARMING.

| Every Farmer Should Double the Capacity

Isaid in former article on intensive
farming that we could push the produc.
tion of cotton from one-half bale pei
acre to two bales per acre, and now and
then three bales per acre. If you will
allow me space in your journal will
discuss the subject at short length on
the intensive system of farming by the
broadcasting of compost or barn-yard
manure; providing you will let me off
with it short and brief, as | am sick

posed to the mumps or branks, and

up.
we can take Il know from past exr e.
rlence) good ordinary land for the first
year under the broadcast system and
push the production of cotton to Geo
pounds lint, with the best fruiting vari.
etles OF cotton. We will take for our
Illustration one acre of land, first by
the broadcast system. We will allow
sl5 for manure in order to cover the ex-
penses, but $12 will cover it, one-half in
the drill and one-half broadcast. Now
allow $1S.75 for labor, ginning, etc.
making the expense for this acre s25. rs.
Six hundred pounds of cotton at cents
per pound would bring s4s. Add Sc
bushels OF cotton seed at 12 cents per
bushel would be worth s4.s2: s4s
added to S4.32 would be So. 80. Take
from this amount S25.75 for expenses
and we have profit of 1865 above ex-
penses. Every experienced farmer
knows that it cost just as much or
more to cultivate one acre OF poor land
as it does to cultivate one acre of good
land.
Every farmer should by all means
double the capacity of his soil. All
lands have certain capacity of soil.
We should endeavor toreach that point.
Even under the intensive system of
farming, land becomes cotton sick, and
should not be grown too often without
change. To get the best results we
should not grow cotton but one wear at
a time on the same land to get the very
best possible results. So much for this
number on intensive farming.-B. w

HIS MOTHER TO THE RESCUE.
Liberated on Condition that He Leaves

Frank Channell, who was arrested at Port
Townsend several days ago for passing spurious
checks, has again escaped trial, as is shown by
the following dispatch received By the POST
INTBLLIGENcER last evening:
PORT TOWNSEND, Dec l6.-ISpecial Frank
Channel, the young Seattle ptunger, was re-
leased from Jail today, friends having come to
the rescue. He VIII not be prosecuted.
When CHANNEL was arrested and the news
reached his aged mother in this city she was al
most erazed with grief and would not believe
her son guilty OF crime. She contended that, il
he had gone wrong, he had been led on by those
who would do him injury. Fearing that he
would be sent to the penitentiary she prevailed
upon Attorney William A. Peters to go TO Port
Townsend and settle the accounts with her
sons creditors and endeavor to save him from
prosecution. MIR. Peters returned to Seattle last
evening, having fulfilled his mission.
In all Channell owed only about So and that
was paid by Mr. Peters with money furnished
him by Mrs. ChannelI. Before settling up the
young mans debts Mr.. Peters made him prom
Use that he would quit his present companions,
leave the state, and turn over new leaf When
all the bills had been paid and CHANNEL was
released, he WAS conducted to the steamer then
leaving for Victoria, and was seen off. He was
furnished with ticket for Vancouver, but
aside from that il is said that he did not have 81
in his possession.
In the same Jail with channelI were a number
of Cinnamon aud, the place being unclean,
he was in an almost pitiabie plight when he
came out lie had but one suit of clothes and
no overcoat, with no change of clothing of any
kind. All of his clothing, except that which
he wore, was in pawn, and he goes into the
world in hard straits.

Butte Is Plagued With Worse Fogs Than
London-Anaconda's Freedom.

London-Anaconda's Freedom.
"Cats can't live in Butte" said Walter f. But
Ter to Posi- IErELLIGEScER reporter yesterday.
"People bring them there, but the smelter smoke
soon kills them. Dogs, horses and cattle live
there all right, but no eats.
There are eleven smeltsrs in the valley,
which is 500 feet above level, and they pile
the ore in great heaps on the ground and burn
it, These fires burn for weeks and throw OF
dense volumes OF sulphurous smoke, which in
winter hangs ever the town necessarily. The
city has passed ordinance requiring that
smokestacks al least seventy-tiye feet high shall
be built TO carry mp the smoke, but that is not
high enough to carry it above the town, as the
residence portion of il is built on the hills sew
eral hundred feet above. In Anaconda the
smelter companies have built two great fumes.
twenty feet ia diameter on the inside, for dis
lance of two miles, TO the top of the mountain,
to carry away the smoke, and they get rid OF it
effectaally, though they smelt more ore than in
Butte
"But in Butte from October until spring the
smoke hangs over the city in 8 great thick
cloud. The air is bitterly cold, the temperature
often reaching 10 degrees below zero. but is so
still that you don't feel the cold. Yet the alb
sence of wind allows the smelter smoke to hang
continually over the city. IL is yellow, like a
London fog, but the London fog is not in it.
You can't across the street and iootpads
hold people mp III midday and disappear
through the fog. At every breath you feel a
smarting pain in your lungs and you have to
hold handkerchief TO your mouth TO keep the
fumes out. Doctors say that there are more
cases OF lung disease there than in any other
