Hints for the Farmer.

OF a COW rapidly decreases in flow.

they are timid set and do not admire
boisterous company.
Whitewash now every two weeks, it
will keep houses, run and roosts clean
and free from vermin.
Young chickens less than four weeks
old should not be allowed to run IN
the grass in the morning until after
the sun has dried it.
In disposing of eggs in market sepa-
rate the kinds. as they appear more
uniform and attract quicker than if
all sizes and shades are mixed up.
When cucunbers are planted place
some brush near the hills, SO that the
vines can climb on the brush for sup
port. In this manner the young GU
cumbers I'M ended for picking can be
more easily picked.
It helps the grass crop, blue grass or
timothy, to harrow the fields every
spring, and loosen the surface of the
sods. The grass roots take a deeper
hold and the heritage fourishes ac-
cordingly Besides narrowing breaks

Profit in Dairying.

A New York dairyman says that
with cows which will produce 500
pounds of butter per year he can find
a satisfactory profit in the business
with butter at 20 cents a pound AS
1T is not difficult to contract the pro-
duct of good diaries at an annual
figure in excess of this, it would appear
that there is yet money in at least
one branch of farming.

The Bully and the Butt.

The recent resignation of his chair
in the Senate by Mr.. Reagan, ofTexas,
has served to recall the incident
which led him to leave Tennessee,
where he was born, and settle in the
Lone Star State. It appears that
one day he went to mill with a grist
to be ground, and after he had wait
ed In line until his turn came, he was
rudely addressed by man who pro-
posed to step in ahead of hi m, and
threatened to throw him out of the win
dow unless he would yield his place.
Mr.. Reagan, the story goes, like all
the rest OF the people In the. neighbor-
hood. was more or less terrorized by
this desperate, and in fear of his life
rushed for him, butted him in the
stomach with his head, and literally
lifted him off his feet and flung him
through the window. When the des-
perado disappeared, the consequence
OF his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He instantly supposed that
be had killed man, that he would
be hanged for 1t, and scared almost to
death, he rushed downstairs, uuhitch-
ed his horse and lit out across the
country for Texas. The man was not
killed, but got a good shaking up.
he soon moved to Texas, and was
friend to Reagan IN after life.

Riding A RAGING RIVER
Thrilling Experience of Two
San Puell Men on
Lumber Raft
The Outfit Dove and Ran Under
the Waves for Over
Fifty Yards
Only the Weight of the Water
Saved the Lives of the
Navigators

WILBUR, Wash, Aug. l7-Last
Saturday Messrs. John Campbell and
Tom Johnson, Of San Puell, pushed off
from the landing at Leighton & Bay
ley's sawmill with raft of "a, 900 feet
of lumber, headed for Clark's place,
opposite the mouth OF the San Puell
about six miles below They did not
get out far enough in the current and
the raft struck a point Of rocks,
knocking some Of the foundation tim
bers loose, and then the men seemed
to lose control Of it, for they were
carried over the gate in very few
minutes, where no man has ever been
known to have safely crossed
The sudden shoot Of the raft carried
it, like a man diving, away under the
water, and it did not rise again for
over fifty yards. In the terrible ride
through the gateway the sweeps were
lost and the raft was washed TO the
opposite shore from the one il was in
tended to land at, and the lumber was
towed back across the river with row
boat.
The men describe their ride as being
anything but pleasant. The weight
Of the water, while they were sub
merged, seemed like it would crush
the life out Of them, and this same
weight probably saved their lives, as
it held them to the raft and prevented
them from being washed overheard.

SOME GARDEN "sASS'
What the Soil of Whatcom County is
Capable of Producing

What the Soil of Whatcom County is
Capable of Producing
The other day, while the sun poured
down his benevolent rays on the good
people of Whatcom county, the writer
took stroll into the country. In his
wanderings he came upou a rich gar
den of some thirteen acres at the end
Of a cool, shady lane. This place was
neatly fenced with cedar posts and fat
cedar rails nailed on. Taking the
chances of being considered tres
passer the writer entered the enclOS-
ure and crossed a turnip patch, from
thence across cabbage patch-it was
quite a patch, tOo-only 10000 plants,
many of them already suffering with
the "big head" At / cent per head
the returns would be 800. At 10 cents
per head this crop would yield 81 900.
This garden has everything in it one
could think Of, all doing splendidly.
There were potatoes, carrots, parsnips,
celery, tomatoes, satisfy, beans, kOl
rabi, peas, onions, chicory Substitute
for cOffee), sage-and as the reader will
probably desire rest the list Is cut
short. This is all to show that What
com county soil will bear almost any
thing planted in her rich soil. The
gardeners mentioned pay $50 per acre
per year for the use of the ground,
and they will make money. Just as
good land can be purchased in the
county within from five to ten miles OF
the bay for $50 per acre. Now, why
stand We here idle?

Is devoted TO an expose Of the wrongs
from which the Jews in Russia suffer,
and the second edition give a long list
Of prosecutions 10 which the Hebrews
Of that country have been subject. A
letter from Jew in Russia to the
minister in London is published in the
book. The writer says the most seri-

lawry in which the Jews are held.
Every petty Russian official assumes
the right TO treat them as he thinks
fit. As an illustration Of this misuse
Of power he instances the fact that
the police Of Libau recently issued an
order prohibiting the Jews from bath

THE Queens PASSENGERS
Over Two Hundred Excursion
lists Take Possession of the
City on Sunday
Bound Down from Alaska,
They Wished Also to See
Fairhaven
They Were Delighted With
Their Trip and With the
Young City

The steamer Queen, Captain James
Carroll, having on board PIG tourists
and Others from Alaska, steamed into
port Sunday morning about 7 O'Clock.
Carroll is one of the best known sea-
faring men on the coast; he was also
elected last year delegate from Alaska
to congress, and spent all last winter
in Washington, ID. c., working for the
territory, although he was denied ad-
mittance as delegate. He is largely
interested in mining, and has amassed
a generous fortune in the far North.
1t was by special request of many Of
the passengers that Captain Carroll
came into Bellingham bay.
The trip down was most delightful,
neither fog nor rain intervening, and
a grand view of the entire country was
had by the excursionists. The Queen,
therefore, had made a splendid run,
and had some spare time in which to
visit other places of interest.
As soon as the steamer was tied to
the dock the passengers scattered over
town, and many eXclamations of de-
light were heard on all sides.
"Do you mean to tell me that this
town is only two years old ?" said one
gentleman, who announced that he
was from Boston.
He was assured that it was fact.
Wonderful wonderful" he ejacu-
lated, as he wiped the perspiratiOn
from his Bostonian brow. what IA
remarkable growth, and such cOun-
try. What great city there will be
here in ten years time" And so he
went on, stopping ever aud anon to
take another look at his surroundings.
"LoOk over there" said another
gentleman to his companions, point
ing southwark OF the city, "what "A
great chance to get rich; all one would
have to do would be to buy few acres
there and then wait for a few years,
| wonder though" =" he added medita-
lively, "what few acres would cost. F"
at is a wonderful young town any
way" said another, and "Oh, just look
at those delightful-loOking stumps;
the trees have been cut off them, what
"A shamer' said a bespectacled school
nam, apparently from Cape Cod.
No place was overlooked by the en-
tire party during their brief stay, and
New WhatcOm was also visited and its
youth and beauty also duly admired.
At III o'clock the eXcursionists had
all returned TO the steamer, and then
she steamed out Of the harbOr, bound
for Victoria, where the eXcursionists
spent the greater part of yesterday
and thence to Port Townsend, where
the Queen was due to arrive last night.
Many of the visitors were shown
around the city by number of citi-
zens, and all expressed themselves as
being delighted with the islands, the
scenery of Bellingham bay, and espec-
tally with Fairhaven.
