I. A. NadeaE, one of the trustees of the
Lake Shore and general agent OF the
Northern Pacific, makes affidavit that
while he vas superintendent of the former
road he acted under the direction Of Presi-
dent Durham. who represented the Old
stockholders. and that the Northern Pa
cific did not have control of il. He says
that the part of the line north of Sedro
was turned over to HIM by the construc-
ton company in an unfinished condition.
He confirms the account already given OF
the removal o! the Boulevard shops. He
also confirms what the other officials have
said about the benefits of the traffic con-
tract to the Lake Shore, and says that
previous to his management the logging
business was done under special contracts
at runously low rates, and he recommend
ed the revocation or non-renewai OF these
contracts. He gives comparative tables
to show that the Lake Shores proper
ton of through passenger rates is more
than its local rates. He also says
that prior TO the making of the
traffic contract the Lake Shore re-
ceived from the Northern Pacific only
.5 per cent. of its local rate on transconti-
mental business. lie also denies that the
plaintiffs have made any complaint to
him of the management of the road,
though they have attended the meet
ing held On November II. ls92. He
also says that the traffic con tract has been
for the best interest Of Tie lake Shore
road. and that but for the Intervention Of
the Northern Pacific by the Ioaning Of its
credi; the road would have gone into the
hands of a receiver and been sold to pay
its debts.

The steam collier Mackinaw. which left
Tacoma yesterday morning for Ocosta
with $500 tons of coal, ran aground at
West Point sand spit, five miles down
Sound from this city. and from the latest
reports last night had not gotten off.
The news was brought to the city by G.
W. Slater. engineer of the tug Hornet, who
gives the following account of what was
observed as the tug went by where the col
lier was hung up:
AT y O'Clock we first noticed the Max
NAV stuck fast on the long sandbar that
runs out from the lighthouse on West
point. She was head on and directly
abreast Of the lighthouse. From appear
ances think she must have struck in the
mud abou. high water, at this morning,
and was unable to get oil before the water
ebbed.
.'She is fat bottomed and don't think
there will be any damage unless some
strain should come on her. Ii is high
water at 1o:il tonight and she ought 10 be
able to get of and go along without. going
into port"
1t was learned from officer, and men on
the Wasco, which arrived about o'clcck
last night that the Macknaw was still on
the bar and that the tug Tyee lay along
side. presumably for the purpose of help
ing her off at high tide. Those who saw
her think she was out of her course con-
siderably when she struck.

TIMELY FIELD NOTES.

THE need of ice is now being felt by
q great many persons. 1t is neither
difficult nor expensive to put up small
amount of ice. Suppose you try it next
winter.
Do NOT allow harvesting to keep the
field of late corn from having needed
plowing. The last plowing destroys
many weeds and usually increases the
yield materially.
PASTURES which are infested with
ragweeds can be materially benefited
by moving the weeds late this month
before the seeds have matured. Com
paratively few weeds will ripen seeds
II this is done.
DESTROY noxious weeds along the
roadside. Many of them are distributed
and allowed to seed there and soon get
out on the adjoining farms. District
road supervisors should see that they
are not allowed to mature seed.
The mower, binder and rake which
have stood outside since harvest time
last year are in poor condition and will
need mending or will break down when
you are busy. Lumber for making
machinery sheds is cheaper than ma
chimes. Judd Farmer.

SELECTING SEEDS.
Pick Out the Best Plants and Preserv
for That Purpose.

Pick Out tho Best Plants and Preserve
for That Purpose.
Owing to the facility with which
farmers can supply themselves from the
seedsmen, few save their own seeds
now as they did in former times. 1t is
so convenient to look over the assort
ments to be found in the seed stores
and select what one wants for the gar
den for small consideration that saw
ing seeds at the right time is scarcely
thought of by most families having
gardens Still there are in many cases
manifest advantages in saving at least
portion of the seeds which may be
wanted the next season, says the South
ern Farmer. In this way one can feel cer-
tain of having for his various crops
seeds which will grow and be true to
name if proper care is taken in gather
ing, curing and preserving them from
injury until wanted for use. Do not
take seeds from the plant until perfect
ly mature. Select from the best stalks
and spread for a few days in dry
room, and when they have been care
fully cleaned put in small bags, label
and hang out of harm's way until
planting time. 1t is good plan to
single out the plants from which the
seeds are to be saved some time before
the ripening and note such as are the
most productive and vigorous.

FLAVOR OF EGGS.
It Depends Largely on the Food Giver
the Hens.

It Depends Largely on tho Food Given to
the Hens.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poultry.
When hens are fed largely or almost
exclusively on milk, the yoll1 is lighter
in color, the white has milky look,
and the whole egg is watery and less
firm in texture than those laid by grain
fed hens. The taste of the egg is also
affected, being insipid and unsatisfac-
tory when boiled or poached, and less
fine for ordinary cooking purposes
even. There is no use in saying that
the idea OF the quality of eggs being
influenced by the food of the hens is a
mere whim; since it is well-known
fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the
neighborhood of the sea and fed almost
entirely on fish-taken as they come,
embracing the strong and oily as we'll
as the more delicate sorts-have ''an
ancient and fish-lilse' taste, if not
'smell," and eggs coming from those
regions sell for less in the market, in
some instances, than those coming from
districts farther inland.
The reason why hens fed on "slops''
of milk, ETC., are able to give no better
eggs to their owners is because the
''old, old story" is repeated in their
case. You demand the tale of brick''
of your servants, but you give them
no straw to make them with Curd
hardly comes under the head of milk,
and there is little danger Of having it
in large quantities to offer to your
fowls. 1t contains all the best and
most nutritious portions of the milk,
without it's Objectionable, watery
qualities. But the true feed for laying
fowls is one-third or one.quarter In
dian corn, ground or otherwise, and
oats or wheat, together with milk and
whatever scraps from the house are OBJ
tainable, and as much green vegeta-
BILE food as they will eat, and with
these, combined and fed properly, your

beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevcrs
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

A NIusicmi Hc,lstcnd.

A Bombay man has constructed a
bedstcad priced at ten thousand
rupees. 1t is thus described: 1t has
at it's four corners four full-sized,
gaudily-dresscd Grccian damsels those
at the head holding banjos, while those
ut the right and left foot hold fans.
Beneath the cot IS a musical box, which
extends the whole length of the cot,
and is capable of playing twelve diff.
fcrent charming airs. "'rhe music
begins the moment the least pressure
has been brought to bear from the top,
which is created by one sleeping or
sitting, and ceases the moment the
individual rises. While the music is in
progress the lady banjoists at the head
manipulate the strings with their
fingers and move their heads; while
the two Grecian damsels at the bottom
fan the sleeper to sleep. There is 4
button at the foot of the cot which
after a little pressure, brings about .
cessation of the music, if such be the
desire of the occupant.

Must Fight for Themselves,

Professional and commercial men
say to the farmer: "Let other peoples
affairs alone, mind your own business
and you will be prosperous enough"
The trouble Is that the farmer has al
ways, until very recently, done that
very thing. And while the farmer has
always done this, the other men have
habitually meddled with his affairs,
and their meddlesomeness has taken the
form of not only holding HIM in the
background while others advanced
rapidly, but Of reaching out for all he
earns, and of reducing him to the con-
dition of q tenant at will on his own
acres, to be treated in all respects like
the helpless and hopeless peasantry oi

THE NAVY PAY CORPS.

Men Who Dispense the Cash to Uncle
Sans Fighting Sailors.
The paymaster general of the navy
is usually chief of the bureau of ac-
counts in the office of the secretary of
the navy, and he does not go to sea.
The pay directors and the pay inspect
ors usually have shore duty at some
naval pay Office. So do some of the
paymasters, and, of course, everybody
has his share of shore duty at these
stations unless, as occasionally hap
pens, an officer prefers the higher pay
of sea duty. Paymasters and assistant
paymasters high on the list are as
signed to big ships, the juniors to
smaller ships and subordinate posts
ashore. The pay corps stickles for
rank and precedence, just as the line
does, and to each of it's members is Off.
cially accorded the dignity due to the
degree of his relative rank. The popu-
lar impression that the paymaster is
something less than fighting officer
is mistake, though good many of
the fighting officers wish that this
were the case. In the wardroom the
paymaster is Familiarity known as
"Pay," unless he happens to be on
such terms with his shipmates as to
justify them in calling him by his last
name unadorned with any title. Folks
who wish to be polite call him pay
master, even when he is only an assist
ant paymaster, but nobody calls MIN
by his military title.
The paymaster is not mere account
ant, and the government supplies to
him clerk, who is expected to do the
real drudgery of the pen. The pay
master also has yeoman for less
clerkly duties, and may call upon the
Jack o. the dust when there is need of
q strong arm. The paymaster must,
however, give bond in many thousands,
and upon him devolves the purchase of
stores when ship is about to sail, and
from time to time in foreign ports upon
long cruises. The paymaster may also
be called upon in semi-ofiicial capacity
to advise Jack AS to the best way of
caring for his earnings, and it is no
unimportant part of the paymaster's S
duty to exercise caution in dealing
even with his brother officers, for naval
officers are not exempt from the COM
mon human frailty of running into
debt, and paymaster of weak will or
too much good nature might easily be
persuaded to extend an officers credit
beyond the point at which the navy
equations draw the linen. Y. Sun.

FOR SHEEP RA,seRs.
How Long Can Ewes and Lambs he Kept
to Advantage?

As with all other stock much depends
upon the growth made, the kind OF
sheep and the conditions under which
they are kept. Generally the safest
rule to follow is to market when the
sheep have reached their full CONNER.
cial value That is, whenever sheep
will sell at the highest price then Is
when it should be sold. But with this,
as with all rules regarding the manage
ment of stock on the farm, there must
be exceptions, and with sheep good
breeding animal can often be kept un-
til they are ten or twelve years old. II
kept to maturity they can, in very
many cases, be kept until they are five
years old, especially the ewes, If they
are good breeders. Wethers, unless
they are exceptionally good ones, can
generally be marketed when they ara
three.
With sheep that are raised more es.
pecially for market it is often the case
that they can be marketed to better
advantage as lambs than as matured
sheep, and especially SO when they can
be made ready for market reasonably
carly. When only certain number Of
sheep can be kept on the farm with
profit, and the surplus is to be market
ed, the market value should determine
when it is best to sell. Whenever the
most clean profit can be realized is the
time to let go. With sheep raising as
with nearly or quite all other farm
products, every advantage must be
taken to secure the best profit
and the time and manner Of
marketing are often important features
in this. Growing we'll is important,
but selling well is equally so. If q
lamb will sell to the best advantage
when it is three weeks old then is the
time to sell it If it can be kept unit
it is three months old and return c
larger profit than at three weeks it will
be better to keep it, of course Other
things being equal. Again, it may bt
more profitable to clip two feeces o:
wool and then market as mutton, Of
ton. By this time sheep should b,
well matured, and, if fat, will be at it,
best and should sell at the highes
price for natured mutton.
1t is only where a eve is an excep
tional breeder that it will pay to keel
her longer than five years. Under wha
may be considered average conditions
after u eve is five years old she begin
to lose vigor and the safest plan is t.
sell at that age. 1t is of no advantage
to sell off good ewes unless there ar
younger sheep to take their place
Ewes can always be kept longer witt
profit than wethers, and often lamb
can be sold to better profit than ma
tured sheep. So that no infallible rul
can be laid down as to when it will b
best to sell.-N. ]. Shepherd, in Woo
