The following clippings from the North
western Agriculturalist and from other
sources Of information is worth memoir
lzing by farmers and stockmon:
Breed from mature animals.
Buying on credit is a costly way.
Energies misdirected are wasted.
Prevention IN all cases is better than
cure.
Honesty is the best policy to live and to
die by.
Rust and rot destroy more farm tools
than use.
/ In trying to do everything nothing is
we'll done.
Every farmer needs n few hogs and q
few sheep.
Grow what you want, then you are sure
to have it.
Quacks grow fat on the crednlity of
their fellows.
Prepare to grow n good crop of corn
next summer.
The demand for good butter is never
exhausted.
Feed i'm perfect food to nothing if 1t
Gun be avoided.
1t does not necessarily follow that a
poor man should that u poor man should
have u poor COW.
1t is poor policy to grow feed stuGs for
other peoples cattlc-unloss they eat it
IN your farm.
A brood mare that is n fast walker is a
treasure on n farm. Not only will she
transmit her qaullty to her colts, but she
will train them by her example. They
will have to walk fast to keep up with
her.
A warm place for stock in winter adds
years to u cow life aud sizc to the steers.
Such q shelter rs this is much warmer
than an open straw stack, and cheaper
than to have the stack smother some of
the stock, as it often does when it falls
down..
If a quiet careful man does not brighten
tho colts in any way Ms he o among
them, no can i'll thirty minutes, nave any
one of the colts broken sufficiently we'll
to halter that he can lead it anywhere,
and by tying them up twice a day and
giving them their oats, will, by spring,
have them broken to handle as their sires
and dams.
Most farmers will end it more proita-
bic to keep mares than geldings for work
on the farm. The mares will do practi-
cally the same amount of farm work and
besides, each year will raise a foal that
even at present low prices will pay
thing OF a profit on its keep, and in many
cases a handsome profit, too, especially if
the mare is a we'll bred one and judicious-
ly mated. These hard times for horse
breeders WON'T last always M the pru-
dent man will ''stay''right there'sat o time
when people generally arc stumbling over
each other' to get out of the business.
Corn il deficient in ash or bone making
constituents, SO that pigs fed exclusively
upon it have weak or brittle bones. IN
Wisconsin experiments tie effect of the
hard wood ashes and bone meal fed 10
pigs with corn was to save about rs per
cent of the corn in predicting 100 pounds
of gain, live weight. By feeding the bone
meal the strength of the thigh bone was
nearly doubled; ashes nearly doubled the
strength of the bones. These experiments
point to the great value of hardwood
ashes for. hog feeding, and show that they
should be regularly fed. Bone meal is
even better han ashes. but the latter are
sufficient, and do not cost anything.

COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON.
How the Chinese Workmen Cut Up
Prepare and Can the Fish.


The st. Louis Globe Democrat has the
following:
"On recent trip to the Pacific
Coast" said Walter Stedman, a New
York drummer at the Lidwell last night,
II paid a visit to one of the largest
canning factories in Oregon, where the
Columbia river salmon are packed and
shipped all over the country. 1t was a
novel sight to me, and one in which
took great deal OF interest. The fish
are caught in nets and taken in boats
to the factory where they are thrown
upon a stage and lie In heaps, thous-
and or so in pile. You can see huge
fish among them that weigh from thirty
to sixty pounds. One Chinaman will
seize a salmon, and, with dexterous
blow with big knife, sever its head
with one stroke; another workman then
grabs it and slashes off the fins and
disembowels 1t. 1t is then thrown into
a vat, where the blood soaks out, and
l tell you they bleed like stuck pig
After repeated washings, the fish is cut
into chunks, plunged into brine, and
stuffed into cans, the bones being first
removed. The tops of the cans, which
have a small hole in them, are then
soldered on, and 500 or 600 of them
at time are plunged into boiling water,
where they remain until the heat has
expelled all the air. Then the little
air-hole in the top of the lid is soldered
up and the salmon is ready for mar
ket"

TWO LIVES SAVED.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, Ill. was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DIR.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr.
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida st. San Fran
cisco, suffered from dreadful cold,
approaching Consumption, tried with
out result everything else; thea bought
enc bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
and in two weeks was cured. He is
naturally thankful. It is such results
of which these are samples, that prove
the wonderful efficacy of this medi-
cine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial

uNc1n sAM,g BARGAIN couNTER.
Any Man Can Own an Arsenal, Such as
It is. for a Song.

From the Terre Haute Post Express.
Scarcely week passes that some
Grand Army post does not apply
through member Of congress, or direct,
to the war department for two or four
condemned cannon to be decorating the
base of a soldiers monument, or adorn-
ing some corner in a cemetery. All
these requests have to be refused be-
cause there is no law for the disposal
Of old ordinance, and even when special
acts are passed the department is un-
able to comply with their terms, for the
reason that there are no old cannon
to be donated. The soldiers monu-
ments in Gettysburg and other national
parks and cemeteries exhausted the
supply of old cannon long ago, and the
artillery arm of the military service
is not active enough nowadays to in
crease the supply of condemned ord
nance.
But while the war department Is
''short'' on ordnance of the heavier va
riety, it is "long'' on stores of the
smaller variety. Sometimes a post of
the Grand Army of the Republic con-
cludes to decorate their headquarters
with bayonets and other reminders of
the old days Then when applications
for such supplies are sent to the depart
ment the senders arc supplied with a
list Of ordinance stores for sale at New
York arsenal, Governors Island" The
list embraces carbines, rifles, nuskets,
sabres, swords, pistols, revolvers. bay
onet scabbards, and numerous other ar
tocles of like character The list gives
the condition of the goods, Of which the
government is willing to dispose, to-
gether with list of prices.
If any one in the United States de-
sires to fit out an army with old time
rifles and sabers, he can be supplied att
a very low cost. Or If he wants to give
his library a military aspect, he can
accomplish his desire for a song. TheI
highest price asked for any article in
the lot is $3.50 for Spencer breech load
ing rifle, with Stabler attachment. Onel
of Merrill's breech leaders in second
class condition can be had for seventy
five cents. There are about 10000 rifles,
carbines and muskets offered for sale at
prices ranging from seventy-five cents
to $3.50, and all in conditions ranging
from "first-class" to 'unserviceable.' y
Thirty thousand swords and sabers are
to be had at prices varying from twenty
five cents to one dollar Nine different
kinds of pistols and revolvers are to be
had at bargain prices. Two dollars will
buy the best in the lot, while a Starr
navy, self-cocking," may be secured for
fifty cents.
This is the governments bargain sale.
Purchasers can have as many or as few
as they desire. The prices are strictly
cash, no discounts for quantities, and no
favors shown. If you want an arsenal,
now is your time.

Sp3r
The business man who says that ad
vertising does not pay does not adver
tise, He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears o.
his competitor, who does advertise. Fl,
sits in the back of his store, smokes hi.
pipe and wonders why he isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only lets his
neighbor get that neighbor's share OF
the business, but good part of his also.
He sees people whom he thought old
friends Of his go into lis competitors
store and come out with bundles of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why is this so? 1t is because his COM
petitor let's the public know in an in
telligent way through the local papers
what he has to sell and when he has it.
The successful advertiser looks after
his advertising space as he does his
clerks. He changes his ads in such a
way the people are attracted by them.
He feels that to make money he must
be willing to spend some; that there is
strong competition in all lines Of busi-
ness, and to get his share of the trade
he must advertise, and to do 1t in the
most skillful and intelligent way. If he
,annot wTete advertising matter himself,
he seeks the aid Of some one who has
made the writing of advertisements a
study-some specialist. who will see that
1t is properly written in catchy and
displayed way-some one whose duty 1t
Is to take off the shoulders of a busy
man all the worry of making up an ad.
No business man attempts to cure his
own sickness, pull his own teeth, make
his own clothes or attend to his own
law cases. He employs specialists for
each Of these various services, and
saves money by doing 1t. 1t is through
It's language and arrangement that an
advertisement gets its business-bringing
qualities. There must be something to
attract public attention and hold 1t;
something Of interest. something out Of
the ordinary, something that is different
from others of the same line of busi-
ness. To give it these peculiar features
requires experience. and the owner Of
The Astorian has engaged the services
Of such a specialist for the benefit Of
its advertising customers who may wish
to take advantage Of his services.
The Evening STAR of Washington, D.
G. has an advertisement writer con-
nected with its business department,
and its terms to advertisers are. 80
much blank space. SO much money. The
same amount of space. with the assist
ance of the advertisement writer in get
