A Storm in the Forest.

The Seattle Washington Post In
telligencer publishes the following ac-
count of storm in the Clallam forest
us seen by an eye witness:
Charge trees, giants of the forest,
from three to five feet through, COM
menced to fall around us without APP
parent cause at first, but soon the storm
in its fury and grandeur burst upon us.
The wind was terrific, accompanied by a
binding rain, and trees fell by thousands
on the hills and surrounding country,
and sounded like a continuous roar of
artillery. We were camped in deep
valley behind point of mountain which
broke the wind for short distance
around us, but the trees from the hills
would almost reach our camp, and the
air was full of flying limbs, and we
could hear them drop around us, but
not being able to see them we could not
try to avoid them.
"Thus we passed long hour waiting
for light, now hearing fearful crash,
and uselessly dodging and running in
the small place occupied by our camp.
Finally daylight broke, and to oul
anxious minds the dawn was never more
welcome. But what scene it presented
Nothing more grand could be imagined.
| The storm could be seen sweeping owe
the mountains, carrying trees by the thou
sand before it. Accompanied by tn,
rain and terrible roar, it lasted unit

porLEp GRAM FOR FOWLS.

French poultry raisers cook grain for
fattening fowls. They boil it until soft.
1t is claimed that this method not only
increases its bulk but its nutritivc value
as we'll.
Four pints Of oats boiled will fill a
pint measure seven times.
-Four pints of barley boiled will fill a
mint measure ten times.
Four pints of buckwheat boiled will
fill pint measure fourteen times.
Four pints OF corn boiled will fill a
pint measure fifteen times.
-Four pints of wheat boiled will fill q
pint measure ten times.
-Four pints of rye boiled will fill pint
measure fifteen times.
There is diversity of opinion with
reference to feeding dry and cooked
grain. Our experience is that fowls
prefer cooked foods, and that for fatten-
ing purposes it is much more rapid in its
effects than dry foods. Ladies' Hom

when winter sets in, they are turned into
field of reserve pasture composed prin-
cipally of blue grass or June grass which
has been previously set apart for them
about July 1. They are very fond OF this
feed and keep in good condition on IT.
This reserve pasture is located near tim
Der in which the mares find their prin-
cipal shelter.
Briefly stated they usually remain here
until the snow becomes so hard and
crusted that they cannot get to the grass.
They are then taken into large yards in
which are located common open sheds.
In the middle of the yards are covered
managers, each of which holds one good
lead of straw. These are filed as often
as required with oat straw and supple
mented with corn fodder. Towards the
latter part of the winter ground oats and
bran are fed freely.
When near fcaliug time each mare is
removed to the breeding barn, which is
centrally located to three or four small
fields or Iaddocks. Here they receive
thei. daily exercise, with soft, nourishing
food, until their foals are about two weeks
old. They are next turned into tielc
adjoining the railroad, where the foal
become car.broken before they are
month old. Colts should be thorough,
handled before they are a year old, halte
broken and taught to lead up promptl
and their limbs all handled. They will
be pleasant and tractable always after
wards, and right here is one of the chic
secrets of having gentle horses. .-Ne'

The Heaviest Metal Known.

The metal tungsten hitherto has bad
no use In the arts, and has been merely
one of the curiosities Of mineralogy. But
recently it has been discovered to have
some very useful properties, one Of which
is that when added TO steel it imparts
an extraordinary elasticity to it, and on
that account is now being used in the
manufacture Of heavy artillery. 1t is
curious fact that some of the most sur
ptising discoveries now being made arc
connected with warlike purposes, and not
in the arts Of peace, Unless we may look
upon the preparations of war rs neces.
sary to secure the peace of the world ,aud
thus properly and usefully advance the
practice of the useful arts. This metal
is one of the heaviest known, having a
specific gravity Of 1850, gold having a
gravity of 1926. 1t has been a very
scarce metal, probably because Of the
want ofany practical use for it, but now
it is being searched for it is being dis
covered where it was not expected. 1t
has hitherto been found mostly in Swe-
den and in the States of Connecticut and
Maiue. But recently large deposits OF
it have been found in New Zealand. 1t
is found in combination with lime, iron,
and lead, and this ore has been called
wolfram. As it has not so far been o
any use in the arts there is at present nc
established market price for it. Th,
most common ore is that known a'
wolfram, which appears as a soft yellow
ish or greenish earth that is very heavy
and contains 1913 per cent. of tungster
and 20.7 per cent. of oxygen.-NeN

A BIG BUSINESS IN DRUxKARD MAKING.


The Pabst Brewing Company, of Milwau-
kee, in a little advertising pamphlet which
was compiled for them by the present Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, and of which at least
three editions one of 20, 000 900 copies, and
another of 1900, 000, have been gratuitously
distributed, thus boasts of the magnitude of
its business in drunkard making:
The annual output of this coTspany for
1890 exceeded 200, 900 barrels; 81 200, 600 gal
Ions; 173 800 900 pints, or $50, 500 900 glasses,
that is, one for every human creature in all
the earth, excepting only Asia. II all the
rain, snow, hail and mist storms which have
occurred in the Northwestern States in the
last three years were condensed into one tre-
mendous deluge and rushed to their surface
in a single day, the annual product of the
Pabst Brewing Company would equal what
would fall upon ten acres in the full four and
twenty hours and continue the flood for an
hour and thirty minutes longer The floor
spacs occupied by the Pabst Brewing Com
pany is over thirty-four acres. The daily
output of beer is more than forty carloads.
The output of bottled beer was 1000, 00O
bottles, and the corks alone cost SSJ COO in
1890. They pay tae Government S701, 900 in
taxes each year."
This one brewery, according to these fl
ures, sold last year an amount equal to nine
glasses of beer for every man, woman and
child in America, and Uncle Sam took as
his portion of the swag 500, 900. The con
sumers paid for this beer reckoning al
average of four cents a glass nearly $2l,
600 600 They got back one dollar out o
thirty in taxes, and had to pay for an enor
nous amount of crime, paupsrism and dis
ease engendered. 1t pays the Pabst Brew
ing Company; does it pay anybody else

tiplied by at least three if this money wen

KEEPING STABLES WARM.

Farmers sometimes make the mistake OF
supposing that artificial heat must be
given to keep stables warm in winter. A
we'll built barn, well filled with its stable
occupants, will keep itself warm. The
heat given off by the animals, although
not so high in temperature as n steam
radiator, is so vastly different in extent
that water will not freeze nor approach
freezing. A single COW presents warm
surface from her body of about forty
square feet, and the farmer who keeps
twenty cows in his well-built stable has
therefore the benefit of 800 square feet
of warm surface constantly presented to
keep his apartments warm. A we'll
built structure, well kept, with full
number of animals, will not be likely
ever to freeze; and the water for them,
brought under ground in pipe from q
spring, will not be reduced in tempera-
ture to point near freezing. 1t will
hardly be necessary, with such treat
ment, to warm the water artifcially
which they are to drink. -Chicag,

CnRNsrALK RoRER.

A new enemy to Indian corn is slowly
working its way to the Northern States.
1t is an old enemy OF the sugar cane and
10 limited extent of Southern corn.
1t was known in the West Indies,
where sugar cane was first cultivated in
America. In 1855 it was first noticed in
limited localities in Louisiana. It was
probably introduced By shipping in cane
from the West Indies.
From Louisiana the borer slowly
spread into Mississippi, Georgia and
northward, until now it is reported rs
far northward as the Maryland border.
Its life history was easily made out.
In spring the eggs are laid on the leaves
of the young cane near the axles, and
the young borcr enters the stalk and
commences to tunnel, usually upward &.
When ready TO transform it burrows to
the surface, makinga a hole for the exit
of the future moth, and transforms to the
pupa state. There are several genera
tions in the course of season, aud the
insect hibernates in the larval stat,
within the stalks.
Occasionally whole fields are nearly
ruined, but there has been no genera
complaint from farmers. II is only tn
first brood that materially Injuries corn
II the corn be vigorously attacked whe
it is young the stalk will be stunted an'
sometimes killed. The borer is ofte
at work doing considerable damage whe
its presence is not even suspected.
On July "a, 1891, an examination q
twenty-seven fields in King Georg
County, Va, showed twenty-five pc
cent. OF the stalks 10 lie infested. Mos
Of the larvle were found below the Sc,
ond joint, and the number ranged fro
one to twelve 10 a stalk.

press belief that, with the more carefl
and thorough methods of cultiyatio
that are in vogue in the North, this il
sect will have no chance for its lf

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Twenty-Five hens are as many as should
be confined in one yard.
More than half of early maturity in
poultry is in good feeding.
Winter is time for the farmer and
gardener to read and to plan for the
next year.
One queer thing about law is that ii
requires man to keep all animals under
restraint, except dogs.
If you worry or i'll treat the COW in
any way the milk pail will tell you OF
your sins aud the profits fail to appear.
o'Bloodpwill tell" but it must be care,
fully watched OF it will tell stories OF
disappointment, discouragement, loss
and ruin.
/ 1t is a mistake to allow milk or cream
10 freeze Butter from frozen milk or
cream lacks in flavor. Indeed, butter
itself is injured by freezing.
General experience makes it appear
that rose plants when dry at their base
will stand almost double the amount Of
frost that thcy will when wet.
A little care IN dressing and packing

add considerably 70 the price realized

REPAIRS or OLD WAGONS.

For two or three years with proper
care well-made farm wagon will need
no repairing. 1t must be housed, and
possibly painted, during that time.
When it begins to need repairs it will
probably sell for more than it is worth,
as the repairs required will be twice or
three times the interest on new wagon.
It was once a remark of a country black
smith that the wagons of some of his
neighboring farmers added as much in
cost of repairs as did the expense ot
horseshoeing. The more farmer thinks
about these wastes the better he will ap.
preciatc the importance of having some
place where all wheeled vehicles and
farm tools generally can be housed wher
not in use.-Boston Cultivator.

things in regard to them, that too much
concentrated food, too nice and comfort
able stables and too generous keep are
the sure foremnner5 Of disaster to brood
mares. The plan wSlch in his experiences

Acute Hearing Of Horses.

It is well known that horses can hear
deep sounds which men cannot. For
days previous to the earthquake in the
Riviera Of Italy the horses there showed
every symptom Of abject fear, which
continued without any change OF
character till the fury of the convulsion
broke forth. But not till few seconds
before the earth began to quake did
human beings hear any sounds, while 1t
is extremely probable that the horses
heard the subterraneau noises for two or
three days previously. - Chicago Times.

THE NEE YES AND NARCOTICS.

The American Analyst has reproduced
from the Deutsche Revue suggestive arti-
Gle on the nerves and narcotics, in which are
pointed out the deplorable results of alcohol
as affecting the nervous system, 1t says.
Long before delirium tremens or other Sc
rious brain disturbances appear, they are
preceded by manifold Servous disturbances
the real cause of which is not often UNDER
Stood" The writer adds; 81 have frequently
found that rheumatic pains that were as
cribed to a cold were nothing but alcohol
neutritis, mild form OF inflammation of the
nerves, resulting from the use of alcohol,
which disappeared when the habit was given
up, only to return with the slightest repeti-
tion of the indulgence" 1t is further af-
firmed that "nost habit lal drinkers, and
some of them very early, are subject TO
changes in the vascular organs, such as fatty
degeneration of the heart ant arterio-scler-
iosis, which lead to grave affections of the
nervous system, like apoplexy and softening
OF the brain. Finally, il may be taken as
proved, that tine children of druukards, if
they are not carried off prematurely by
brain troubles, are frequently afflicted with
serious nervous ailments such as epilepsy,
idiocy, and the like This is corroborative
testimony froma scientific authority of high
standing, TO which all who are addicted TO

wINE.pRrNKrNe AT DINNER.

In an article in the North American Re-
view, the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew says:
"Within the last ten years great change
has come over dinners in the number and
variety Of wines served. This is especially
the case in the United States and in Eng
land. Formerly there was a succession OF
wines, one with each course. Anyone who
went through with such dinner, after as
tonshing his digestion with white wines and
sherry, with claret, champagne, Burgundy,
Madeira, brandy and liquors, became an
easy subject for Carlsbad waters and pre-
mature grave. have noticed in London the
last two seasons that at the English dinner
they now go almost to the other extreme,
serving clnret and champagne, according to
the preferences of the guests for one or the
other through the whole meal. We have not
come exactly to that yet but at New York
dinner, while you still find several varieties
of wines, champagne is the one which is
served mainly through the entire evening.
The amount of wine which is consumed per
head is constantly diminishing at all din
ners, and the number OF men who abstain
altogether is decidedly on the increase. The
sparkling mineral water is largely perform
ing the functions formerly filled by tn,
stronger beverages"

WHY THE BUTTER DORIS NOT GATHER.

WHY THE BUTTER DORIS NOT GATHER
When the butter comes, but does not
gather, it is because the temperature is
too low and the small particles of the
butter are too hard to adhere together.
The right thing to be done, then, is to
put warm water in the churn, but it is
better to take care that the cream is at
a temperature of at least sixty-two de-
grees, and sixty-five degrees will not be
any harm. To avoid too much cooling
during the churning, the work should be
done in warm room, at least as warm as
the cream should be.-New York Times.

teen surviving veterans of company of
ninety. two young men who left that city
forty five years ago for the seat of War

hearty and hale. In writing of his
health he says: l had been troubled
for long time with Rheumatism, Kidney
and Liver Complaint and could hardly
get around. Suffered great pain night
and day. After trying many different
kinds of medicines and finding no relief,
at last through the advice of friend l
purchased DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
from one of our leading Druggists, B. F..
Kesling, and must say it has helped me
wonderfully, rs l now walk without
pain.
1t is the only medicine that has done
me any good, and has been great ben
eft in invigorating and building up my
system, greatly assisting the liver, KID
neys and digestive organs. This is the
first recommendation l have ever given
a medicine and it affords me pleasure to
call the attention of the public to the
merits of this wonderful specific. Those
who try Swamp Root have generally first
employed the family physician, or used
all the prescriptions within their reach
without benefit. As last resort, when
their case has become chronic, the symp-
toms complicated and their constitution
run down, then they take this remedy,
and it is just such cases and cures that
have made Swamp-Root famous and
given it a worldwide reputation.
