Some surprising figures have just
been published anent the great lumber
industry of the Pacific Northwest.
They illustrate how bountifully that
expansive region has been timbered.
In Washington and Oregon there
are over one thousand lumber /
wood working firms, representing
combined capital of nearly $50, OOo,-
600 and employing 25, 600 men. The
value of the product is in the neighbor-
hood of $25, 10000 yearly. Ten
millions of dollars are annually brought
into these two States from foreign and
domestic points in exchange for lum-
Der, lath, shingles and other wood
products.
In Washington the cut of lumber for
1892 showed large decrease over the
preceding year by reason of the fact
that the building boom beginning IN
1890 began to subside during the latter
part of 1891. The cargo trade, how
ever, during 1892, and the coastwlse
movement, considerably increased, and
the Eastern demand for rail shipments
of lumber from Washington increased
fully twenty per cent. According to
indications, this years record will
eclipse oil others of the past in the
commercial progress OF the Pacific
Northwest. The Puget Sound Lumber
man estimates that the standing timber
in the State of Washington amounts IN
round numbers to 413, 900, 600, OOO
feet
In order to grasp the magnitude OF
these figures let the reader, in his
minds eye, imagine solid train, L.
600 feet of lumber to the car, stretch
ing 154, 900 miles, or six times around
the earth, and then enough cars left TO
make n train stretching from Tacoma
across the continent to the middle OF
the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty cars for
train. it would take 542, 900 trains
to transport the standing timber OF
Washington.

Life Preserrers for Wells.

The East India coolie is a fatalist /;
thinks as little of killing himself as
the Chinaman or japanese. In point
of fact Ire euterJaIns " marked prefer
ence for self-destruction as q means OF
showing pique at a real or fancied in
jury. In the city of Bombay this
tendency has long been a source OF
considerable inconvenience and danger,
as the favorite method of the Eastern
suicide is t. jump into a well, and it is
stated that there Is scarcely a well in
the city that has not, at some time,
been used for that purpose. An in
genious native East Indian has met
this difficulty by inventing q simple
and durable appliance, which has tho
merit of not only preventing suicide,
also accidental drowning in wells So
excellently is this device adapted for
this purpose that it has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. It consists of a
hoop of wood or metal, over which is
stretched a net of light tarred rope
with four-inch Ineshes Metallic
drums support this net Just far enough
under the water of the well to enable
the buckets to sink and dip, but there
Is not enough water above the net to
drown a person. New York Tele.

Glover hay when it is well made is
the best hay known for general feed
ing purposes, and some clover hay en-
thusiasts say that a ton of 1t mixed
with ton of straw is equal to two tons
Of timothy, which is pretty near cor
rect. It is especially good for young
and growing animals on account of the
nitrogen which it contains, as it re-
quires large amount of nitrogen for
the making of muscle of flesh. The
manure obtained from animals by feed
ing a ton of clover hay is worth about
SO, whereas that from a ton of straw is
only worth about SO, according to the
valuation of the different fertilizers
present in it,

Tricked bY the jolly Tars.

A pretty good story is told of the
way in which the officers of q certain
sloop-of-war of the North Atlantic
squadron succeeded in getting their
ships slow and antiquated steam
launch replaced by one of later and
more fashionable type. 1t happened
that the vessel hauled into a maynard
for its periodical repairs. While there
the launch was loudly complained of
os too heavy and unwieldly for n sloop-
of-war to carry, and careful weigh
ing by the yard authorities verified the
complaint Thereupon a new and swift
little craft which cost Uncle Sam ever
so many hundreds of dollars was sub
stituted, and the sloop-of-war steamed
exultantly away. But when the old
launch was sent to the boat shop for
overhauling the workmen found snug
ly slowed away out Of sight along the
keelson nearly a thousand pounds Of
superhuous ballast iron. The appar-
emily unaccountable weight of the re-
iected boat was readily explained

THE ECONOMY OF THRAsHING.

There is no doubt that for ordinary
farm work the big steam thrashers are
far from economical. They require too
much help and do the work in waste
full hurry, not to mention the enor-
mousstrain on the househ'l1part fthe
farm to feed and lods any help
ers. Haste always maEeyS waste. This
old adage is well founded, and except
in cases where grain crops are the main
pursuit, and the produce is to be sold
or disposed of at the earliest moment,
it is better to have the thrashing done
bv n suitable farm machine, that re-
quires but little outside help. The
leading principle of ordinary farm
work should be to do as much as pos
sible within the farm, and without
spending money in big rush and then
losing time in idleness. The two-horse
tread power thrasher, that may run in
the barn in any kind of weather, and
that will clean up 200 bushels of grain
a day, is the most convenient and
cheapest method for a small farmer.
Grain may be thrashed in this way
without the expenditure of dollar in
money, and by the help of neighbor
or two, whose aid may be returned in
kind when they need it. The cost of
the work in this way, allowing for the
wages of all concerned, is not more
than q cents l. bushel of grain, and
there is no waste. New York Times.

A Bird Story.

Will you allow me to add touching
instance Of courage to your pleasant
bird stories2 Early one morning last
summer I was called to the window by
a great noise among the bird people OF
tho garden, and saw the following
scene A young blackbird was stand
ing fascinated by cat, who was
crouched under bush ready to spring
on him. An old blackbird, on an lex
close by, was uttering loud and agi-
tsted cries, and there WIS q general
cackle of anger and sympathy from
other birds oil around. After O few
seconds the cat sprang on the young
bird and held him down. At that in
slant the old bird came down on them.
There was moments struggle, the
bird beating her wings violently in the
cats face, and, / think, pecking at her
eyes; then the cat jumped back to her
bush, the young bird made off with
long hops, and the old one flew mp to
the lex, amid a jubilant chorus of
commentator which lasted quite some
minutes. / never saw this before,
though I have seen a robin come quite
close to a cat stalking another bird and
scold and flap her wings in her face.
The ways of birds are delightful,
and in small garden you can have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full of water for them to battle in
