A snow white otter has been seen
several times recently in the vicinity OF
Otter Rock. off the coast of Oregon,
and a large number of fishermen and
hunters are keenly on the watch for o
chance to capture 1t. Such an otter is
extremely rare, and its skin would prob
ably be worth pretty close to 81, 900.
Several sealing schooners have lately

PASSING AN EXAMINATION.

The story of a well known bishop which
reached me the other day seems good enough
for publication. The bishop was one dav
examining a batch of deacons for priests
orders. After the theoretical part of the
examination, he said to them: Gentle
men, you have passed most excellent ex-
animation in theory. | should now like
to see you do something practical. | shall
go into the next room and personate sick
man. You will come in, one by one, ad-
dress me as sick parishoner and say
something comforting" When his lord
ship had retired, the candidates were in
some confusion, and nobody cared to be-
gin, but at last mad Irishman volunteered
to be the first. He entered the study and
approached the bishop, who was lying with
woebegone air on the sofa, and thus ad-
dress him: sob, Anthony. Anthony. The
drink again! Shure it will be the death of
ye! Turn from your evil ways before it's
too late and be a manr' This is said to be
the last time the bishop held practical
examination.-Lon Truth.

SEE A NAIL, DON'T PICK 1T UP.

Mr.. William Garrett recently made the
statement that wire nails are now sold so
cheaply that if a carpenter drops nail it
is cheaper to let it lie than TO stoop and
pick it up, and it is claimed that one keg
out of five is never used, but goes to waste.
a statistician figuring this out and assum
ing that it takes Il carpenter ten seconds to
pick up nail, and that his time. is worth
30 cents an hour, remarks that the recovery
of the nail he has dropped would cost .Os3
cents The money value of the nail is
.0O77 cents-that is, it would not pay to
pick up ten nails if it took ten seconds of
time worth 30 cents an hour. Ordinary
men who are not very quick can, however,
pick up nail on moderately clear floor
in five seconds. Assuming that this is a
better average than the ten seconds, and
that we are paying the carpenter only %
cents an hour, it will still cost to recover
the nail .O3l7 cents, which is nearly five
times the value of an individual nail,
There is therefore IA considerable factor of
safety in the original calculation, and we
are bound to believe that it will not pay to
pick up nails. Such calculation bring
out clearly the marvellous reduction in
prices due to inventive genius The lurking
fallacy is that while it may not pay to stoop
for each nail it still may be worth while
for an economical man at the end of his
work to stoop down once and sweep up in
a single handful the nails he has been
dropping all day.

FARM NOTES.

Potato scab can be largely prevented by
treating the seed planted for three hours in
a solution of two ounces of corrosive sub
Innate in sixteen gallons of water.
According to the Maryland experiment
station, the greater the quantity of seed
potatoes planted the greater will be the
yield up to a certain limit, and large
pieces of seed tuber are favorable to a large
yield and early maturity.
With the increase of railway facilities
the South is being brought into closer touch
with the more populous North, and will
doubtless have much effect on the business
of truck gardeners near Northern cities
Trees cannot usurp the place of broader
agriculture, but can often be worked in
conjunction with it. That farmer is but
casting an anchor to the windward," who
plants an orchard, a vineyard, nut grove
or a tract of timber. If he cannot live to
enjoy it to the full his children may.
An Ohio farmer says his one hundred
stands of bees pay him more than all the
rest of his sixty acre farm, and do not
require half so much labor. Wherever
alfalfa is grown bees should follow; and
even for the sake of bees it may pay to
raise alfalfa, ii it will grow in your lati-
tude
Perches should not be used for chicks of
heavier breeds, as there is tendency to
deformity if the chicks roost on the perches
while the breast bone is still in an almost
cartilaginous state.
Orchard grass is excellent for permanent
pasture; timothy lasts but few years, and
clover less. A good mixture is five pounds
red clover, four pounds timothy, fourteen
pounds Kentucky blue grass and five
pounds orchard grass. The first two make
the good grass in the start.
For the dairy, for work. for breading and
even for fattening the quiet, d0cile animal

Like the Indian and the buffalo, the vast
cattle ranges of the West are almost a
thing of the past, and in consequence, the
smaller stock farmer can breathe easier.
With the constant entertainments of the
homesteader and his farm, thealmost bound
less runs and the days of vast herds are
surely numbered.
Potato scab is fungous disease, and
may be prevented by selecting clean soil,
using proper fertilizers, planting clean seed
only and by disinfectng scabby seed with
corrosive sublimate solution The latter
process added 30 per cent. to the yield of
marketable pototoes on one station plot in
1894.
