LIFE ON THE PLANTATION.
Many Old Domestic Customs Remain
Unchanged.

Many Old Domestic Customs Remain
Unchanged.
The planters wife has never made
the concession to changed domestic
conditions involved in placing the
kitchen in juxtaposition with the din
ing room and dwelling house. Her old
time kitchen still stands a long Wy
off from the house under its own
sycamore tree. The smoke house,
where she must give out the meat
a C day, Is across the yard in an
other direction; the dairy is equally
distant, the wash kitchen and ironing
room still further removed. So il Is
no wonder that she supplements her
w tagging steps with the nimble
feet Of 'Merica and his dusky compan-
ion.
Il don't like the smell Of cooking
anywhere near" she explains when
friends urge the Inconvenience of the

ern customs.

serts the mistress. I'VE have waters
and wafies and all kinds OF griddle
cakes brought in for breakfast and
supper and they are never cold. ] am
accustomed to managing this way and
it does not trouble me-"
Perhaps at that very moment she IN
cudgeling her brain to think how she
can put all the people away who are
to visit her next day. "By putting
an addition to the table when
stretched at full length and placing it
catacornered across the room she
might be able 10 seat tie grown peo-
pie" h thinks, and the children can
come to the second table.
The planters wife Is used to such
planning. Large parties are the rule
and not the exception under her roof
and company, whether hidden or un
hidden, is always sure Of a warm
welcome. Children love TO string TO-
gether the o~ld-fashioned four-o'clOcks
in the ~old-fashioned garden, I o scurry
up the ~low-bending fig tree and watch
the knocking birds nests in the orange
hedges. Young people con to dance
in the wide halls and fit on the long
p~iazzas, assured that they will be en-
couraged TO enjoy themselves. There
are hunting parties in the winter, fish
ing parties in the summer and cards
and games at all times. The minister
or politician who drives from a dis
lance TO take part in a meeting or
barbecue always makes the planters
house his abiding place. The old
house Is a landmark to the people who
pass by from time to time. Always
at a certain season the columns of the
piazza are wreathed with vines. and
just within the open door sits the
master in his accusomed place. the
women of his family seated near him

Kentucky's Republican Governor.

Kentucky will inaugurate her first
Republican Governor next Tuesday,
and instead of any displeasure over the
contemplation of the event the Ken
tuckians are said to be preparing to
induct Governor Bradley into office
without any show of partisanshlp.
The present Democratic Governor,
Brown, has ordered the state militia
to report for duty at the capital, not
to resist the invasion of the Republi-
cans, but to march in grand review
and assist in making the event as i'm
posing as it is important. The Demo-
Gratis as well as the Republicans propose
to be present to congratulate Governor
Bradley and start his administration
with an expression of good will. All
this shows that Kentucky is as much
"a part of the Union as any Northern
state. and that the talk about chang
ing the administration of public affairs
in the South is the merest buncombe.

Barley and Cayuse for Hogs.

N. o. Carter of Hesseltine has nice
drove of swine he is fattening for mar
ket on an economical plan, which
promises to prove a grand success and
a great help to the country. Mr.. Car
ter has arranged large tank over a
furnace into which he puts an equal
amount of barley and horse meat.
This is boiled until the meat is
thoroughly cooked, when it is consid-
cred ready to feed. Barley and horses
are both cheap and both good hog feed.
Barley is worth Soc per 100 lbs. and
borses are worth from ST to So. Mr..
Carter has several cayuses which he
will kill as needed. He saves the skin
which is worth about $3.50. If nine
tenths of the horses in the Big Bend
were made into bologna sausage or
bacon the cattle industry would revive
wonderfully and good horses would
command fair price.-Wilbur Regis

Lumber for Cars.

c. F. White, manager of the Gray's
Harbor Commercial company, owning
the big sawmill at Cosmopolis, has
just returned from business tour of
the East. His object was to look into
the prospects for an increased con-
sumption of Washington lumber and
to open new avenues for trade. That
he has had successful trip he assured
Times reporter this morning at the
Rainier-Grand, and gave an excellent
account of the prospects and results.
"Every month sees large increase
in the use Of Washington lumber
throughout the East" said Mr.. White,
"My firm has been shipping lumber
there for years, yet there is every pros
pect for doing larger business and
securing an increased trade. The
kind of lumber used and the greater
volume is in our favor. OF course the
freight is an important factor and for
that reason east of Chicago they know
little of the advantages of Washington
timber. But in that locality it is used
for ship-building, car material and
houses. Ours is the best car lumber
on the continent on account of its
tensile strength and durability. The
Burlington road last spring built 2500
cars of Washington fir divided among
the mills. | sent a pattern for one
refrigerator car to Armour of Chicago.
He built the car and another of yellow
pine alongside. The car of fir weigh
ed 1000 pounds less than the other.
See what saving in freight and other
wise that is. One car in every ten.
Six hundred such refrigerator cars
were built for this seasons California
fruit crop and were satisfactory in
every respect. The rolling stock of all
the road has run down on account OF
the hard times and now it must of
necessity be built up. That means
activity and profit for us and explains
one cause of the increased use.
washington spruce is great wood
for Eastern use. 1t is the same color
as white pine and is adapted especial
ly for shipment on account of its
lightness in weight. The spruce sid
ing we are shipping as far as New Or
leans and largely to the New England
states. 1t is high grade lumber for
the East.
Speaking of freight rates, The rail-
road companies have no advantages
over the private shipper except in the
case of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy. It bills its shipmants via
Billings and thereby pays to itself half
of the freight on through freight to
Aurora, Ill, where its great shops are
located. Seattle Times.
