A Travelling Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia. It is
a triple-peaked mass of dark-brown
basalt, six or eight miles in length
where it fronts the river, and rises to
a height of almost 1000 feet above
the water. That it is in motion is
the last thought which would be
likely to suggest itself to the mind
of any one passing it, yet it is
well-established fact that this
mountain is moving slowly, but
steadily, down to the river, as if it
had deliberate purpose some time
in the future to dam the Columbia
and form a great lake from the Cas-
cades to the Dalles. The Indian
traditions indicate immense move
ments in the mountains in that re-
gion long before white men came
to Oregon, and the early settlers
immigrants, many Of them, from
New England-gave the above de-
scribed mountainous ridge the name
of travelling" or "sliding noun
tain" In its forward and downward
movement the forests along the
base of the ridge have become SUBJ
merged in the river. Large tree
stumps can be seen standing deep
in the water on this shore. The
railway engineers and the brake
men find that the line of the railway
which skirts the foot of the noun
tain is being continually forced out
of place. At certain points the per-
manent way and rails have been
pushed eight or ten feet out of line
in a few years. Biologists attrib-
ute this strange phenomenon to the
fact that the basalt, which consti-
tutes the bulk Of the mountain,
rests on substratum of conglom-
crate or of soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current Of the mighty
river is constantly wearing away, or
that this softer subrock is of itself
yielding at great depths to the enor-
NOUS weight of the harder mineral
above.-Geographical Magazine.

cumstances.
WITH MOLTEN LEAD.
Perhaps a better. certainly a
pleasanter, and no doubt equally
officacious method of peering into
the future on this auspicious night,
is to prepare some melted lead-a
spoonful of old solder from the lids
of fruit cans will answer; while hot
and soft enough to pour, drop
through the handle of a key into a
fiat dish of cold, clear water; the
imagination that can read the re-
vealings of the weird, fantastic
shapes that lead will take upon it.
self, can read futurity for year to
come. Houses, money, coffins, each
and all with portents, comforting
or otherwise, appear ready for the
wise sibyl to solve. There are
other games, with no especial sig
nifcance, excepting that their OBJ
servance belongs to All Halloween.
Among these the ducking for apples
is popular sport, productive of
much amusement. Place a num-
Der of apples in tub of water and
pick them up with your teeth with
out touching them with your hand.
This seems easy enough until you
try it, when the elusive fruit goes
bobbing away as soon as you ap-
proach it. Still another, somewhat
similar, is to suspend an apple on
a string in the middle of the room,
hold your hands behind you and
try to catch it with your teeth as it
swings to and fro. Much merriment
is created, as the least movement
sets the apple to swinging, and it
takes an expert to catch it on the
rebound.
SNAP-DRAGON.
Snap-dragon is perhaps too fa-
miliar to need explanation, but may
prove new to some. A lot of raisins
are plucked from their stems and
placed in fiat dish. Alcohol is
poured over them and set on fire,
and the fun lies in snatching them
from the flames.
Every girl knows that her dreams
on the night of All Halloween come
true, but perhaps she does not know
that she must name the four posts
of the bed, and must not speak a
word to anyone after she begins to
disrobe for the night. Nor must
she drink drop or eat a morsel
after naming the bed posts. If
these precautions are duly observed
and that hardest of all endeavors-
at least 80 we are told-the holding
ones tongue, suffers no lapse, the
maiden may rest assured that Prince
Charming will surely WOO her in
her happy dreams, and if he fails
to do so, twill be because there is
to be no Prince Charming for her,
or else-let her choose-she may
believe that the pudding and the
apples and the raisins and the for
tune-telling, and the mirror, and in
fact all the combination of pagan
charms have proved too much for
healthful slumbers, and that "he"
will come anyway, spite of Hallow-
cen predictions. IRENE II.

hay or Ensilage-Which2

AT the risk of appearing non progressive
the writer has held for many years that the
silowould have avery small place in southern
agriculture. a good many have tried it in
the south, and at first many have appeared
to be pleased with the green food so pre-
served, reckoning 1t up as economical, and
all that.
But in the south, where it is quite practi-
cable to provide green or succulent food of
one kind or another right from the field
and almost through the entire winter, 1t
does seem that the trouble. expense and risk
of a siIo is unwarranted on the great ma
jority Of our farms.
1t IS a practice far more appropriate tn
the cold regions of the north than the mild
climate of the south.
In experiments at the Vermont expert
mental station last winter to ascertain the
comparative effects of ensilage, hay and
corn fodder as fed to milk COWS, the follow
ing conclusions were drawn:
/. Ensilage gave less milk than hay, the
quality being the same.
,. Corn fod Ter gave les milk and little
poorer quality than hay, when the COWS
were not naturally drying Off. In the case
OF cows that were drying off, the corn fod-
der gave very much less milk of much
richer quality, and the shrinkage'wes much
more marked when on corn fodder than
when on any other coarse fodder fed during
the winter
5. Dreaming seemed better on hay than
on the other folders.
4. Churning did not vary essentially.
5 Hay was, therefore, the best nilk>prc-
ducing food of the three. No attempt was
made, however, to study the financial side
of the question.
The Missouri experimental station has pre-
sented the same conclusions as that OK Yer.
mont in regard to the comparative value Of
hay and ensiIage. S. A. G.

terminating Nuts.

The only reason says the American 40
ricaIturist, why many persons fail TO
make such nuts as pecans. hickory, English
walnus, and chestnuts terminate when
planted is that they allow them to get
thoroughly dried before they are placed in
the ground. For pecans, shellbark hickory.
buJternuts, hlberts. and other hard-sheIl
kinds there is no better place { store them
during winter than in heaps Of sand piled
up on some shady spot in the open ground
First place layer OF the nuts. then a layer
of sand, then layer Of nuts, and proceed
in this way until your stock of nuts is ex-
hausted, and cover the heap with six inch
es Of good soil or sods, and
leave all undisturbed until spring
Then take out the nuts and plant in drills.
If there is danger of mice and squirrels
carrying away the nuts, place them in we'll
drained boxes covering with wire netting.
Chestnuts may be stored in the same way,
but the sand should be clean and the boxes
set where the water from melting SHOWS
Will quickly drain off. Fresh imported
English walnuts buried in the fall or any
time in the early winter will usually ger
inmate quite freely. Imported filberts are
sometimes gathered before quite mature,
and for this reason fail to grow, but if the
kernels are plump when obtained there is
no danger of failure if kept cool and moist
during the winter.

trouble. In fall we have leisure 10 do our
work well; in spring We are generally busy
and hurried Fall set trees aud plants not only
start 70 grow in sprilg much earlier than
under ordinary circumstances the ground
could be plowed and fitted. but also make a
very much more vigorous growth than il
planted In spring, 20 say nothing Of the
risz IN spring or being delayed in planting
till so late in the season that the stock fails.
Another argument in favor of fall planting
Is that the soil retains much of the summer
heat until hard freezing weather sets in,
and this favors immediate healing of cut or
bruised roots ana causes new fibrous roots
to start whilst the top is quite dormant In
spring these conditions are reversed; the
ground is colder than the atmosphere and
the leaves start before the new growth of
roots has begun.
When 1t is irconvenient to plant in fall,
arrangements should be made for planting
in spring early, aud % this end it is advisa-
bic TO procure the needed trees and plants
from the nursery in fall and heel" them in
the ground on a high aud protected spot.
The stock is thus on hand In early spring
when wanted and the planter is saved all
possible delay in filing his order in spring.

Orchard and Garden Notes.

There is no better time in the whole year
for setting small fruit plants than autumn.
We do not even except strawberry plants
unless it be at the far north. Strawberry
plants set this month will grow till the ad-
vent Of freezing weather when they should
be lightly covered with strawy stable ma
nure. Plants so set aud we'll protected
during winter will start to grow with vigor
in spring, and the advantage thus gained
will more than repay for the labor of cover
ing in winter. People are apt to forget
that the strawberry is a very hardy plant
and that hard freezing does not injure it
unless the fruit bud is exposed and the
plant drawn out of the soil by the SUMS
rays.
