MORE STOCK IN The PASTURES.

\ ride along the country by team,
with ewes wide open, affords an oppor-
tunitv 10 see something OF the farm
management OF the locality passed
through. An important fact made plain
In visible st this season OF the year, Is
that many of the pastures are not stock
ed up with anything like the amount oi
stock they are capable Of carrying.
Large tracts ot unfed grass are seen on
every hand in passing, running up To
seed. and later on ripening only To waste.
IL not fed of in the early summer and
before ripening, the stalks become
woody and unpalatable, and with the re-
suit that later on in the season the stock
reject il entirely and IL becomes a total
loss. This l. especially true with wire
grass. or a. Flint names il, blue grass,
commonly known As white grass, Poa
compressa, one OF the most nutritious
grasses in its prime, but absolutely
yslueless when left in the way referred
to. Wide acres of this nutritious grass
are seen untouched in knox and Waldo
Counties, and In occasional towns IN
other sections Of the state.
IL would seem that the owners OF these
lands ought 10 utilize these grasses.
More stock should be kept. III these
grasses are fed of In the early summer,
a second growth follows later on, thus
furnishing more and better feed In au-
tumn than where not early fed. Better
the steers be kept at small proht thsn
that the feed 20 TO waste, or sheep
though wool be low.
An observing farmer remarked not
long since, that the growing OF Young
stock even AZ ruling low prices. afforded
a reasonable profit where the owner had
plenty OF pastursge. Dairy products
are siways In demand. There Is neither
business nor sense In letting those
PASTURES 20 unstocked. Stock them up
and thus get the benefit of that so easily
10 reach. With plenty Of feed in sum
mer costing nothing, and ow-priced
hsy begging n market In winter, there Is
NO sufficient reason for the falling OIL IN
numbers of stock in our state. Small
profits, IL such they must be, are better
than nothing. Farmers Neglect to raise
Young cattle, and sell their sheep be-
cause prices are low. yet fail to put any
thing in their places. No wonder such
course brings the cry Of small income
and hard times Maine Farmer.

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH EYE

Strabismus, or "cross eyes," Is now
safely and almost painlessly corrected.
The desired result may be obtained by
the wearing OF proper spectacles In
early youth; but il the evil Ia not then
corrected an operation, later on, will be
necessary.
The removal Of a "cstarsct" from the
eve is one OF the most delicate opera
tions performed by the oculist. A cata-
ract Is formed by the lens Of the eye
becoming Opaque, so as to appear grav-
ish or otherwise, when IL shuts out the
light from the optic nerve. The oculist
Of to-day cuts into the ball Of the eye
and removes the darkened lens, and the
opticisu supplies the defect by artificial
lenses that make good the sight.
The demand for glass eyes Is increas-
ing as the character and the quality OF
the eyes improve. Unsightly eyebslls
are now removed in part, leaving enough
OF the muscles 10 rotate the glass shell
that is placed over them. Where the
work is properly done the possessor OF
the glass eye can move IL about with all
the naturalness OF a real optic, and In
many cases il is very difficult to tell the
manufactured article from the genuine.
All the wild stories about substituting
rabbits eyes for human eyes, or the
statements TO the effect that oculists
can take eyes from their sockets, wipe
them on q coarse towel and restore them
unimpsired to the happy patient, are ali
moonshine, and any one who Is called
upon 10 listen TO any such tales is per-
fectly justified IL, under such circum-
stances, he should wink the other eye

YUKON GOLD FIELDS.
RICH IN MINERAL WEALTH BIT SUR
ROUNDED BY PERILs.

Every year has witnessed new and
rich discoveries OF gold In the Yukon
region with the result that genuine
stampede has set In toward that wonder
full Alaskan country.
| Prospectors entering the country out
fit at juneau, In Southeast Alaska, 2,OOO
miles southeast Of the mouth or the
| Yukon, and take steamer for the head
Of navigation. 100 miles up To the coast
range. Here the hardships Of the jour
ney begin. Everything must be- packed
over the mountains - miles through
Chilkoot pass To Lake Lindeman. the
| first OF the navigsble waters tributary
to the Yukon. Here RATS are built OF
poles, and when the fearful mountain
wind so common on this lake Ia quiet,
the trip must be made TO its lower end.
From there Is rocky portage OF three
quarters Of = mile to Lake Bennett, where
the boat or raft on which the long trip
on the Yukon down to the gold diggings
IL TO be made must be built. The trip Ia
through succession OF grassy banks
and rolling hills, interspersed with
grand CANYONS, dangerous rapids and
portaRes. MANY boats are lost every
yesr bv the ventures1me crews who pre-
| fer 10 run the risks Of the rapids rather
than make laborious portages around
them.
Eight hundred miles Of this brings a
traveller to the diggiugs. Stewart River
is the first and one of the oldest OF the
diggings. Several miles below this IL
Sixty-Mile creek and below this again
are number Of camps along the river
until Forty-Mile creek Ia reached, 100
miles farther down. Here Fort Cudaby
Is situated in Northwest territory. This
Is the depot for supplies for the rich
diggings Of Poker, Davis, Glacier, Little
Gold aud Miller creeks, which until the
recent strikes OF gold on Birch creek the
last year, had proved the richest OF .the
diggings: $500, 900 was taken out last
year; $4,000 was taken from one claim
alone in placejon 30 x 100 feet, one
clean up being made Of 100 ounces.
About l25 men work these claims,
wages being $40 per dav, with whiskey
81 glass, butter Sl.50 pound, pota-
toes 81 pound, and other things In
proportion, payable In gold dust, the
current money OF the region. Every
bag and pair Of gold scales. With sl7
an ounce as the standard value, change
is quickly made.
Some winter placer mining has been
carried on for the last two years bv
means OF fire. Digging down through
the frozen ground until pay dirt Is
found, the miner builds fire. When
thswed out the gold bearing earth Is re-
moved and another fire built farther on.
When spring comes the pay dirt Is quick
ly washed out.
Society has not yet received much
recognition. There was one dress ball
given last winter and graced by ak
women, all who were in the district. IL
had the distinction Of being the first
dress ball ever held In the Arctic circle.
The Yukon River has been referred to
often AS Americas Siberia. In many
respects the title is merited, but II will
probably receive better one when IL
has become a steady contributor TO the
wealth OF the nation.

On June 18th, 1875, John Han
thorn and Miss Nellie Lake were
married at Portland, Oregon, and
consequently last Tuesday evening
saw the goth anniversary of that
happy occasion. To commemorate
it MIR. and Mrs. HAWTHORN invited all
they could accommodate of their
Weiser friends to meet them at the
lovely little home where they have
lived for fifteen years and which
their own energy has created. About
ninety guests put in an appearance at
eight o'clock, among them being Mr..
and Mrs. M. B. Gwinn, of Caldwell,
and Mr.. and Mrs. John McGlinchey
and daughter, of Payette. The
esteem in which the worthy host and
hostess were held was testified to in
the great variety of presents (all
china) of beauty and worth with
which they were presented. The
large and beautiful grounds of the
HAWTHORN place were decorated with
lamps and Chinese lanterns. Tables,
where refreshments were served, were
set beneath the trees, and the Weiser
Brass Quartette discoursed music to
the guests assembled on the lawns
and in the parlors. Misses Mary
Galloway and Minnie HanthoH ap.
peared in lovely Chinese costumes.
About twelve o'clock the good night
hand shaking and kind wishes fol-
another twenty years of happy life
commenced. AThe occasion was one
TO be long remembered.

pitched his tent among us and will
remain for few days. He is on a
return trip from Montana and Yellow
stone Park. He has the apparatus
and ability to take higher class of
photographs than have ever been
produced in Weiser. An investiga-
ton will convince anyone competent
to judge that this statement Is fact
and not fiction. Mr.. Hazeltine, who
has his home at Baker city, has n
reputation extending all over this
coast for high class work. He will
likely remain but a few days and you
should not delay yonr visit to his
tent to look at his excellent collection
of fine scenic views.

came from the Marion Steam Shovel
Works, Marion, Ohio. To give
some idea of the massiveness of the
machinery, one cable chain alone
weighs 1910 pounds. The first trip
will be to the Meadows, unloading
there and returning here for another
load and by that time it, is expected
the road will be open all the way.
Six Weser teams loaded Monday
and pulled out Tuesday; being driven
by Bill Walker, Myron Riggs, Jim
