NEW FOOD FOR WILD FOWL.
An Experiment with Chinese Plants on
Columbia Slough Lakes.

Columbia Slough Lakes.
Tho carp having played havoc with
the Wapatoea ia the sloughs aad ponds
on Sauvics island, on which the ducks,
geese and swan used 10 feed, Mr..
Rocler. of Rgoder's Landing. has se-
cured lot of Chinese wapatocs, which
he viii plant as an experiment, and, If
they do wcu, viii try TO Introduce
them in the lakes, etc, says the Port
land Orcgouian. The Chinese here
consume % great many wapatoes, and
also bring over from China manywhich
ore Of o different species, being larger
and rouuder The only Improvement
they win bo on the native kind IS that
thev arc too large for a carp to
swallow, while the ducks, etc, can
perhaps bite them in pieces and swallow
them
Several efforts have been made TO
introduce plants on the island which
might attract the waterfowl and take
tie place Of the wapatocs and widgeou
weed, but all such attempts have
proved failures. Wild rice by the sack
has been brought from Wisconsin and
sowcd here; the seeds of the wild
celery, which gives flavor to the can
vasbacks of the Potomac and tho
Chesapeake, have been sown, and the
seeds Of The ''wolus." on which ducks
fatten at the klamath lakes, have been
planted; but none Of them hourishtd.
The June rise OF the Columbia Is a very
different thing from what any of these
plants have been accustomed to, and
covers them with several feet cf water,
just at the time when they should be
making their growth. If something

SHE TOOK THE BID.

A good woman whose heart is set

other valued 5friend is the fellow
who jots down a few locals and
sends them in unsolicited. Another
is the systematic rural subscriber
who always pays Tor his paper when
he comes in to pay his taxes, That

tel the editor what they think Of
the paper. If it contained any
thing good they put their hands in

Not the least appreciated is the

paper religiously lives by it, swears
by it and will die its friend and sup
