Chief among the industries of Aberdeen
is that of numbering, including logging,
saving and shipping. Not less than five
hundred men are employed in the woods
in this vicinity. Four mills are in opera
ton with combined daily capacity of
800 900 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
sively devoted to the local trade, while
the largest share of the product of the
other three is shipped to California
and foreign ports. For several rea-
SONS Aberdeen can and does supply
lumber cheaper than either the Columbia
or Puget Sound mills. AS shown else
where, our port charges, towage and other
items of a ships necessary expenses are
much less. Legs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was $4,000, 600; the home consumption
being about 100000. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
600, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.

A Black OPAL.

There is an opal which comes from
which tongues of fire shoot out from I'M
expected points and give the stone al
most the effect of being in combustion.
1t is not as expensive as the precious
opal, which comes chiefly from Hungary.
The Australian stone is found in veins of
porphyry placed in layers with its ma
trix. 1t is often cut sen cameo" when thus
found. A specimen of such a cameo ex-
hibited by well-known jeweler repre-
sents the head of warrior, whose he'll
met is of the most brilliant opalescent
colors, while the face is soft ivory white,
and the whole is thrown against back
ground of dull black.-Boston Tran

CALIFORNIA; Olive Industry.

''The olive industry is just now one of
intense interest to all farmers CT South
ern California;" said James G. Bangs, of
San BernardinO, Cal, at the Windsor
Hotel. 1.-The small fruit business, espe
cially grape growing, is being overdone
in the opinion Of many Of our brainiest
men. In looking around for something
to pay equally well, which at the same
time would not be so subject to crowded
market and need peculiar methods of
transportation, we found the olive. You
know on the coast of the Mediterranean
the olive tree requires fourteen years Of
growth to bear fruit. By method &C
dentally discovered we in California can
grow trees so that they will bear in six
years. Howe Why, we cut off a twig
about as thick as your little finger some
twenty or twenty-five inches long and
simply stick it in the ground. The way
it sprouts is simply wonderful and we
promptly cut off all but one, the best
shoot. The fruit is crushed so that the
meat is taken off, but the stone is not
crushed. This meat is put IN press and
the juice from it is composed of water
and oil. The oil is taken up by absor-
bent cotton and then squeezed and re-
fined, put into bottles and on the mar
ket. The profits are said to be large,
and Judging by what have seen sho uld
say there was comfortable living in
olive growing. "-Neoo York Telegram.

Prepared for Emergencies.

In the cab of every locomotive On the
Pennsylvania Railroad is neat little tin
box, almost square, in which is packed
several necessary articles for use in
case of accident. This is very neces-
sary and humane precaut1on, and every
engine must be provided with one of the
boxes, which are all made after the
same pattern, and each of which contains
a piece of linen, a rubber compress, a
package of absorbent cotton, six rolls of
bandages and pyramid containing pins.
There are plain directions on the box
how to use these various articles before
the arrival Of a surgeon.-PittSJurg

How a Great Artist Got Even.

Meissonier had become celebrated,
and was beginning TO make money,
when he got acquainted with Partisan
grandee, very wealthy, very fond of pos
ing as an art patron, but slightly pen
urious.
One day MISSIONER, breakfasting with
the grandee, was struck by the beauty
of the texture of the tablecloth.
Zone could draw upon it," he re-
marked; and, suiting the action to the
word, he produced a pencil and made
on the snowy, smooth nap wonderfully
able sketch of mans head.
The economical swell had the head
carefully cut out of the damask, and
fastened to frame and glaze his prize.
A few weeks afterward Meisonier again
oreakfasted with his patron and found
by the side of his place at the corner of
the table assigned to him neat little
sheaf of crayons and holders, with a
penknife and some india rubber.
While the guests at the conclusion of
the repast were enjoying their coffee and
cigaretts, the host saw with delight from
the corner of his eye that Meiesonier was
hard at work on the tablecloth-this
time with superb little full length of a
medieval halberdier.
The party broke up, the guests de-
parted, and the economical swell"
rushed back to the salle-a-manger to Sc
cure his treasure; but, alas, the painter
had for once shown himself as eco
nomical as his patron!
He had made disasterously good use
of the penknife, and one corner of the
tablecloth was gone, halberdier and all.

Uses OF LEAVES.

According to the health and vigor of
the foliage of any plant, writes Josiah
Hopes, will be its usefulness; the direct
bearing on fruit and flowers IS incalcul-
able. If plant be defoliated the sue
ceeding crop of fruit will be greatly in
jured, If not ruined, and the growth
damaged for some time to come. Hence
the leaves may well be termed the vital
organs of vegetable life. By their ap-
pearance we may judge of the constitu-
ton of trees and plants. If destructive
insects or diseases are present the foliage
at once shows departure from health,
and is a signal to the owner that the
plant needs immediate attention. Other
symptoms appear later, but sickly, yell
low tinted foliage is the forerunner of
disaster. Application of fertilizers to
the soil shows at once in the leaves, by
increase of size and deeper green color.
Luxuriant foliage always denotes aug
mented growth and consequent useful
ness. The practice of partial defoliation
of trees and vines s'to admit air and
light to the fruit" is grave error.
While light at all times is beneficial, full
sunlight is not a necessity, and an
abundance of leaves collecting vapor and
gases from the air perform an immense
amount of good, far more than the mere
rays of the sun shining directly on the
skin of che fruit. Much summer prun-
ing is consequently to be discouraged,
excepting in rare instances where an un-
healthy growth is to be removed. Varie
gate 3-leaved plants are not unhealthy,
as may be seen by their strong growth
of wood and apparent freedom from dis
ease; their peculiar color is the result of
some abnormal condition.-Neo York
Tribune.

of meadow lands do not comprehend the
extent of the injury that comes from such
a course. They see only.a little increase
OF growth, few more quarts of milk
per day, but fail to reason back from
effect to cause when succeeding seasons
show rapidly decreasing yield of hay,
or other crops, upon these fields. some
considerable part of which is surely due
to this fall pssturing.
Most plants require for vigorous growth
soil, not hard packed, but fairly light
and well drained, with roots left undis-
turbed when once they begin to stretch
out through the soil in search of food.
Moreover, it is the habit of grass plants
to form thick mat or carpet over the
ground, which serves as protection fo<
the roots against the washing of heavy
rains, the alternate thawing and freezing
of early spring, and the scorching heat
of late summer. When meadows are
cropped by cattle, many plants are torn
outright from the soil, the roots of others
broken or loosened and exposed to frost,
rain and heat. In addition to this, the
feet of the stock are constantly packing
the soil solidly around the plants, which
hinders free drainage; or making foot
holes that become basins for water and
ice. But the actual injury to the grass
plant is not abby feeding off the second
growth natures plans for protecting the
grass during the cold of winter are
thwarted, and very much of "winter
killing" is the result. Where SHOWS lie
deep and continuous, this difficulty is
not so apparent, but even cold climates
are subject to "open" winters, which
are sufficiently trying to grass lands, even
when we'll protected.-Anaer;can Agri-
cuItu1ist.

FALL PAsrUR1NG OF MEADOWS.

1t is common practice in many parts
of the country to turn the cattle, horses
and sheep upon the hay fields after the
crop of hay has been gathered, and the
second crop, or "rowen," has appeared
In luxuriant growth. There is strong
temptation to such a course, because at
this season of the year the pastures have
begun to dry up, and the stock has begun
to look less thrifty, while the yield of
milk from the COWS has very materially
diminished. But like all temptations to
do unwise things for the sake of tempo
rary advantages, this one should be re-
sisted. 1t is to be presumed that the
great majority who practice fall feeding

COLOR IN HORSES AND CATTLE.

According to the Western Agricul-
turist the white color of horses and cattle
has been developed from tropical re-
sources, and it is clearly shown by the
superiority of the white horses of the
desert and the tendency of horses and
cattle taken from the colder climates of
the North to the hot climates of South
America and our Southern States that
the gray colors increase and Withstand
the heat better. The gray horses are
more popular in the Southern States and
hot climates.

Tests have been made to determine
the variations in the length of time that
is required to produce decay in different
kinds of woods when buried under the
surface of the ground. The birch and
aspen were both found to decay in three
years, the willow and the buckeye in four
years, the maple and the red beech in
five years, elm and ash in seven, while
the larch, juniper and arbor vitae were
uninjured at expiration of eight years.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

w nen TWO limbs cross cut the weaker.
Give the fowls green feed every day.
Every boy likes fruit. Teach him to
cultivate it.
A spare hour is never lost in cutting
unrpe weeds.
Corn and clover are said to deepen the
color of the yolk.
If you have milk to spare, try its effect
as an egg producer.
Chickens kept on low, wet land are
pretty sure to have gapes.
Domestic animals need good shelter
in the changeable weather of spring and
fall.
In breeding stock do not expect to
get better animals than those you breed
from.
Ground bone and wood ashes or pot
ash and phosphoric acid are good for
fruit.
If you want to check the growth of
tree, trim it when in full leaf or just be-
fore.
Raise your 'sgreens" instead of hunt
ing them in the lots. It saves work and
time.
Gull out the poorest of the young
roosters from the flock and eat or sell
them.
Don't stuff your pigs or hogs with
corn. 1t is better to pasture them on
clover.
If sheep are kept for mutton and wool,
take we'll selected ewes and breed to
thoroughbred rams.
When fowl ceases to give good re-
turn for the feed given, it is time to
plan for his disposal.
1t is very desirable to keep the breed
ing stock in a good, thrifty condition.
A failure to do this will show in the Off
spring.
Too close breeding should be avoided
with sheep fully as much as with any
other class of stock. Change the same
every two weeks at least.
Troughs should always be provided
for feeding all kinds of soft feed 10
poultry. Make them tight and arrange
them so that they can be cleaned readily.
If kept in good condition, nearly or
tened in two weeks of good feeding. But
they must have all that they can eat four
or five times every day.
At this season the best time to sell
poultry is when price can be realized
that viii! return fair profit. Holding
for high prices for the next three months
is, to say the least, very uncertain.
If the sheep are turned into the corn
field care should be taken to sec that they
have access to plenty of water. It is
hardly good economy to turn sheep into
any place where there are cookie burrs.
As general rule, when prices for
poultry begin to drop in the fall they
keep down until after the holidays, and
it rarely pays to sell young poultry at
that time. Provide good quarters and
keep until prices are better.
Too much live stock is quite as bad
for the farmer as too much land. Do
not crowd the stock, and do not keep
more than can be we'll fed, pastured we'll
and housed we'll. If you have more than
this sell off the surplus speedily.
In determining what turkeys to use
for breeding, remember that the gobbler
should be two years old before using,
and can be kept until he is five years
old, but as a general rule it is not good
plan to keep turkey hens after they are
three years old.
The guinea is very useful fowl. not
withstanding its peculiarities. In
their wanderings over the farm they
destroy numerous insect enemies and
weed seed and do little damage to crops
by scratching and eating. They lay a

small, are of good quality and nutri-

VALUE OF SWEET APPLEs.

Wherever apples are plentiful sweet
apples are neglected and scarcely salable.
They are not good for pies, but for bak-
ing whole are superior to sour apples. If
their excellence thus cooked were better
known it would cause increased demand,
and inure to the advantage of consumer
as we'll as the producer. In the absence
of the demand for sweet apples the trees
that produce them ale dug up or grated
over to sour fruit.-BoSt0n Cukicdtor.

THE CULTURE OF ASPARAGUS.

Asparagus may be grown from seed
and will reproduce itself true to the
variety. But the better way is to pro-
cure one year-old plants from the seeds
men and set these out IN beds. The soil
should be made rich and deeply worked.
The plants are set out in rows three or
four feet apart and foot apart in the
rows. The crop is not cut until the Sec
ond year after planting, when a few
stalks may be cut, but not many until the
third year, as earlier cutting checks the
growth of the roots. Conover's Colossal
and Palmetto are the two best varieties.
The roots can be purchased for 81 per
100. Peter Henderson's "Gardening and
Profit gives full information of the cul-
ture of this and all other garden crops.
The roots should be set at least five in
ches under the surface and it is best to
round up the beds a few inches. The
fist year small vegetables may be grown
between the rows.-NeO York Times.

FATTENING CHICKENS FOR THE TABLE.
The three prime rules to be observed
are: Sound and varied foods, warmth,
and cleanliness. There is nothing that
fattening fowl grows SO fastidious about
as his water. If water anyway foul be
offered him, he will not drink it. but
sulk with his food and pine, and you ali
the while wondering the reason why.
Keep them separa| e, allowing to each
bird as much as you can spare, spread
the ground with sharp sandy gravel, and
take care that they are not disturbed. In
addition to the regular diet of good corn,
make cake of ground oats or beans,
brown sugar, milk and mutton suet. Let
the cake lie till it is stale, then crumble
it, and give each bird a gill measureful
morning and evening. No entire grain
should be given to the fowls during the
time they are fattening-indeed the Sc
cret of success lies in supplying them
with nutritious food without stint, and
in such form that their digestive mill
shall find no difficulty in grinding it.
