The Seattle Board of Trade has issued q
very neat pamphlet as report for the
year 1880. 1t is compiled by r. H. Goldie,
the secretary of the Board, and reflects
credit upon bis skill in collecting statistics
and general information. It is prefaced
by note to the effect that its intention is
to relieve individual members of the Board
OF correspondence involved in replying to
inquiries from other parts of the country
and abroad. The Posr-ISrELL1GENcER is
too modest to speak in as complimentary
terms as the pamphlet deserves. because
the material is SO largely drawn, a. in
most publications of the kind, from the
New Years edition of this paper.

MIDNIGHT AT SEA.

Tall rise the mighty masts, while russell sails,
Distended by the fass-increasing breeze,
Throw ghostly shades upon the heaying seas
The giittering moon alternate shines and pales
And, fraught weth ancient echoes of the gales
The cordage sighs, like wind-swept forest trees
And then with one long swerve the vessel frees
Her form from al the shadows, N she scales
A giant steep, while down the moonlight pours
And on and on the myriad pillows roll
In endless race across the pulsing deeps
Until at last. where far Australia sleeps.
Like spent runner sinking q the goal

THE SEAL HARVEST.
Abundant Along the Cosst From ths
Columbia River North.

Victoria C0IOnfst.
By the steamer Maude, which returned from
Alberni yesterday, Mr.. Charles Spring received q
bundle Of 100 sealskins, secured by the Indians
around Uculet. The schooners Lily and Favor
lite are reported to be still waiting for their In
dian hunters, whom they expected to get with
out trouble. The siwashes, however, have re-
fused to sail unless they are promised 81 for
every seal killed. As the seals are reported to
be plentiful along the coast, the captains are
naturally impatient to be Of The Minnie and
Mary Ellen are in the same fix as the Lily and
Favorite: while the Sea Lion and two other
schooners were sighted of Cape Beale by the
Maude on the homeward trip The storekeepers
on Barclay sound have already bought about
LOCO skins from the Indians, and more are being
brought in every day. Beautiful weather pre-
wallis on the west coast.

Co-Oneration OF Far,,ers.

There seems to be quite tendency
among farmers, of late years, to form
closer unions for mutual benefit. First,
farmers clubs were organized; then
came the Oranges; thenF armerS' Alliance,
ETC., all calculated to increase the power
and influence OF the farming class by
union and com bination. The principle
of cooperation might be greatly extended
among farmers with good results. Since
so many kinds of farm implements and
machinery have come tC be substituted
for manual labor small farmers labor
under disadvantage unless able to in
vest quite large capital in labor-saving
machinery If able to make the invest
ment the limited use to which each ma
chine can be applied on small farm of
40, so or 80 acres hardly saves enough
labor to pay interest and wear of ma
chimes.
Now, if dozen farmers owning to-
gether 600, 800 or 1000 acres of land
could unite and purchase all necessary
farm machinery it would greatly reduce
the cost to each individual, while serv-
ing their purposes nearly as well as if
everyone owned all the machines OF
course, they would need to eliminate
| something Of human selfshness, and
allow the one who most needed the use
OF the machines to have the first use.

tom. It is suspended to the rod that
passes through the curb, and throws the
mill in or out of gear. When the tank
is nearly full, water flows from it into
the reefng bucket, through the pipe
shown in the cut leading from near the
top of the tank to the reetng bucket.
When the reefng bucket is filled. it's
weight pulls the mill out of gear, and, OF
course, stops the pumping. small
pipe leads from the bottom OF the tank
into the we'll, as shown in the cut. 1t is
of such capacity that it will just about
empty the tank until the water has
drained out of the reeting bucket through
the small hole in it's bottom. AS the
reefing bucket becomes nearly empty, its
Weights not sufficient to keep the p!lll
out of gear, and the pumping again be-
gins, and is kept up until the tank IS
filled. The water again flows from the
tank to the reefing bucket, and the
pump is stopped as before. or course,
the flow of water from the tank to the
reefing bucket stops as soon as the water
sinks a little in the tank. II animals
come to drink, there is no flow in the
reefng bucket, and of course the pump
keeps at work until the animals have
drank what they want, and the tank is
filled. That the drawing may be plain,
all this apparatus is represented as above
ground. In fact, the tank is usually
banked around with earth, and the pipes
are below the surface. BY this arrange
ment, the animals have cool water in
summer, and water of considerably
higher temperature than the freezing
point in winter. Stopcocks make it easy
to stop the working of this apparatus
whenever it's stoppage is desirable.

AN Everlasting Fence.

The best and cheapest fence on my
farm | built seventeen years ago, and it
is still good. The posts are cedar, set
eight feet apart with the end Of the tim
Der which naturally stood up placed
down. This is the way to make the
fence: Let the posts go in the ground
thirty inches and project four and one
fourth to five feet above ground. top
rail of two by four scantling is to be
mortised into the corners of the posts
and nailed fast. White oak pins are
turned uniformly one inch in diameter
and inserted in holes bored in every
other post. They must be previously
well seasoned and soaked in boiled OIL
The holes must be bored in the posts at
the exact point where the wire is to pass
it. To get the holes exactly right with
the least trouble, it is the best plan to
first bore board for pattern.
Now lay wire along the line Of posts,
coil one end of it around pin and
drive the pin in until it's head imbeds the
wire in the post. Then drive staple
over the end of the wire. Now, with
one man to handle and drive the pins
and another to stretch the wire by means
of a croWbar or ire-stretcber each time
a pin is driven, fifty rods of fence may be-
hung in one day. | use five wires under
the scantliDg. Each time after a pin Isl
driven the wire is slackened to allow it,
TO be twisted about another pin. These
pins are only placed on every second
post, the wires being stapled to the inter-
vening posts. The cost is as follows:
Two cedar posts at Is CENTS 80 cents;
five plain wires, No. 10, Is cents; five
oak pins, s. cents; scantling. 13 cents;.
labor, 81 CENTS Total, 81. The wire
rarely or never breaks, as it's contraction
and expansion are taken care of by these
pins George. w. Humphrey, 0nondaga

and the sand either blown or washed
away, and were it not tor few of the
remains of the large stumps no one
would suppose that the spot was ever
anything else than a naked ledge. On
other hills where there were no rocks
the sand is drifting like the snow, and
on some farms there are many acres of
this shifting sand that a warranty deed
will not hold and that is being conveyed
without any legal process. On hills
where the soil is between these extremes,
the process of exhaustion is more gradual,
but just as sure. And now that the high
lands are exhausted and denuded some
farmers are prevented from clearing up
their low lands by the fact that they are
all they can depend on for woodlots.
But the time is coming when the deep,
black deposits of vegetable matter which
we call muck-bogs, as we'll the interme-
date strips between them and the dry
lands, will be cleared and improved, and
other conditions of the farm will be made
to conform to the change. These border
lands between the high lands and the
swamps are in many cases Of the least
value, because they are harder to sub
due. The growth upon them is largely
spruce, fir, and cypress and the soil
is white or rusty sand, with few inches
Of black soil above it, and as soon as the
trees are cut off swamp moss will cover
the ground and seeds will blow in and
start a new forest.
