From Cosmopolis Enterprise:
There are some little formalities that

Tuesday we saw man, three sheets in
the wind, shouting about what hard times
this country had seen since the "crime
of 49," We suppose he thinks all he
will have to do will be to have free-sil-

stand around on the street corners while
some government official passes by every

from Montesano Economist:


The commissioners, after an inspection
of the Satsop and Wynooche bridges, are
OF opinion that jetty will have to be
built at Satsop, while the Wynooche
bridge will shortly be on dry land, by
reason of the river cutting new channel.

Economist that grand county celebra-
ton Of the Fourth Of July be held here
has been we'll received by the citizens of
Montesano, and public meeting to ar
range for the affair will be called during
next week.
In mentioning the names Of some Aber-
deem gentlemen as aspirants for office,
last week, the Economist was actuated
by no i'll feeling for the persons named,
but on the contrary, it has the highest
personal esteem for those gentlemen.
The names were given us as probable
candidates by prominent citizen Of that
city, and were published in good faith as
an item of news. Since then we are in.
formed that we had been "joshed" into
publishing the item.

SIGNS IN BUTTER MAKING.

We were warned very long time
ago against the foolishness of belleV-
ing in signs. And those people VINO
believed in them were called foolish
and perverse generation. What was
rue then is so now, and we have a
great deal more knowledge abroad
now than people had then. The dos
soming of the elder, the signs-so
called-of the stars. the condi1on Oh
the moon. are all without any inhu-
ence on the cows, or the milk, or the
butter. or the cheese. and the witches
that once were supposed to inject the
churn and prevent the butter coming
were all imaginary. Food of the cows
and such skillful management OF the
whole of the work of the dairy, ana
nothing else, are the sole and whole
causes of good or bad butter or
cheese; or of difficulties or ease in the
making of them.-New York Times.

CRACKING OF PEARS.

There are some varieties of pears
which are very subject to cracking OF
the skin. which soon after turns black,
thus destroying the value Of the fruit
The black is sometimes cut OF, but
what is left of the fruit lacks the fine
flavor it should have if the skin had
remained whole. The White Doyenne
pear. known also under its old-fash-
toned name, Virgalieu. is most subject
to this disease. and its growing has,
for this reason. been discontinued in
some localities. But the disease is a
fungus. and spraying with Bordeaux
mixture has been found preventive.
1t should be done early. The cracking
generally begins about the time the
seeds are forming in the fruit. 1t may
be caused by Il deficiency of potash in
the soil. making it impossible for the
tree to form the fruit seeds and rlpen
its fruit. Many fungus diseases are
probably due to this cause, and lib
eral supply of potash to prevent them
is better than cure. But wherever the
fungus is present. it should be de-
stroyed by the Bordeaux mixture, and
the trees then literally supplied with
potash 10 prevent its recurrence

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

There is a growing demand for pure
bred stock. 1t is becoming a necessity
to have the best.
On cultivated farms, at least where
land is dear, it is much more pOfita-
BILE to grow lambs for market than
mutton.
A plantation of pines in such a part
of the farm as. will make them useful
as shade for the flock as pasture, will
be invaluable.
Good grade stock that natures early
and is of superior quality pays good
price for the farm feed and profit on
the breeding and feeding
Colonel Woods says, it is to -the COW
and the sow" the American farmers
must trust primarily to pull them
through any and all depressions.
1t does not pay to sell grain or hay
off the farm when it requires almost
the price in commercial fertilizers to
replace the fertility of the soil. Better
feed the crops to stock and enrich the
soil of the farm.
A return to the good old-fashioned
way of raising a lot of good calves on
the farm upon which they are to be fed
is well worth considering at this time
But the calves to be produced must
be strictly high class.
Kicking calf on the jaw to make it
let go Of teat is not conducive to the
happiness of the calf or the prosperity
of the owner. Assesses on the law
are often started this way. and then
the owner wonders what could have
occasioned them.
There is no use in keeping wethers
when they always bring more as
lambs. Kentucky and Tennessee have
learned this lesson well. The climate of
these states is milder, and they can
grow lambs out of doors much earlier
than in the East.
There are some uncertainties in de-
termining horses age by examining
he teeth. The teeth undergo certain
changes as years pass, but the kind of
feed modify the changes somewhat,
and the skillful doctoring of the Jockey
often affect them still more,

HOW, WIEN AND WHAT TO
FEED FOWLS.

Birds in their wild state get their
food slowly and little at time. 1t
is well that fowls get their food the
same way 1t is not good plan to
have food before them all the while;
so. excepting soft food, which may be
given in troughs, it is best to scatter
their grain rations among straw,
leaves, or in light soil and place their
animal and green food ration where
they can pick at them and gather what
they want at leisure and with exercise.
The V-shaped trough made of siX-inch
fencing is all the utensil we consider
necessary to feed from; if of dressed
lumber it can be more readily kept
clean.
AS to when to feed, breeders differ.
Some claim that adult fowls should
be fed three times daily; others hold
that twice day is enough. Both
classes admit that the last feed should
be Just before roosting time. Young
chickens ought to be fed at intervals of
two hours at first. The period between
feelings may be heightened till they
are three months old, when three times
are enough and if twice is enough for
adults it is about time to break the
chicks" to that course too. If fed
three times there is more danger Of
overlooking than when fed twice, eS-
pecially if on the range; and overfeed-
ing is really more disastrous than

chance to more or Jess supplement the
short feed TO feed just the right
amount is more important than the
number of times at which it should be
given.
Feed a variety grain. green food
every day.
Because this is accomplished where
the small flock is KEEP. and given the
table scraps, accounts for so many
best egg records being made by Il
small number of hens. Multiplied by
hundreds, in theory the results should
be increased just as many fold. In
most cases this does not prove true,
because the same variety is not main
tanned, though the sane care other
wise is given. There is one other
answer to what shall be fed-and that
is cost of rations. Feed variety at the
least outlay, quality considered These
two elements open up a wide range for
the ingenuity, thought and judgment

Forty Years a Constable.

Constable John Whteman, of Ard
more, Montgomery County, Penn, is
seventy-seven years old, and has held
office continuously for forty years. He
has spent all his life at Ardmore, as
did his grandfather and father before
him. His more than threescore years
and ten have been replete with stirring
incidents. Notwithstanding his age,
he is still sturdy, and says he would
not be afraid to tackle any criminal
living.
A company was formed recently to
sink artesian wells and supply the
citizens. of Ardmore with water. They
secured permission to lay pipes
through certain streets. In making
connections it was desirable for the
company to pass in front of the old
constable's house, on Church Lane. AS
Whiteman had all the water he wan
ted, he sent word to the company's
foreman that any attempt at trespas-
sing on his property would meet with
resistance. The foreman sent back
word that the constable could do as he
liked, but the pipes would be laid the
next day. Then Constable Whiteman
got mad. He gathered lot of handy
weapons together, including an old
musket which his father carried in
the war of 1872. These he stacked
alongside the fence, where he took up
a commanding position, with big
horse-pistol in either hand and awaited
the coming of the enemy. When the
workmen came the old constable
roared out that he would shoot the

TO DETECT HOG CHOLERA.

Symptoms vary much according to
the severity of the attack, says an In
diana Experiment Station bulletin.
Often the hog will be found dead be-
fore it is known to be ailing, while in
chronic cases it may be sick for two
or three weeks. The condition of the
eyes gives early indication of disease,
the mucous membranes become red
dened. the lids gummy and glued to-
gether. The pigs appear chilly, and lie
in the hot sun when they would ordi-
narily remain in the shade. They will
hunt for litter or bedding under which
they can secrete themselves. The APP
petite is lost and a diarrhoea is devel-
oped.
In the earliest stage constipation
may be present, but diarrhoea nearly
always ensues before the attack is
over. The attack may or may not be
attended with a cough, which may be
up from its bed.
In breathing the ribs seem to remain
quiet. and quick jerk is seen in the
flank at each expiration. Lameness in
one or more limbs. stiffness of the back,
thickening and cracking of the ears,
scabs on the skin, purpleness of the
belly or patches on the body, are all
attendant.
A common expression from the far
mer is that mo two die alike" In
swine plague the respiratory symp-
toms are early developed, and more
characteristic than in hog cholera On
post mortem, the intestines and lungs
are found to be the points of attack.

FIRES IN GREAT FORESTS.
Preventive Work Accomplished by tho
Fire Warden OF Minnesota.

The report of the chief fire warden
of Minnesota has been published, ana
contains many statements of interest.
AS part of the precautionary measures
adopted, about $4,000 placards, warn
ing against kindling fires in forests or
prairie were distributed. Twenty
seven fires in forest regions, including
those in brush lands and marshes, are
reported. They burned over an aggre-
gate area of S,265 acres, and did dam
age to the amount of So, 123. The wet
weather of last year greatly reduced
the losses. In the prairie region Oh
the western side of the state dry,
windy conditions were conducive TO
the spreading of fire, during the pc
Rod of August to November, and loo
field prairie fires occurred, burning
over about 10000 acres and causing
damage of $34,277. In the same terri
tory in 1884 about 100000 acres were
burned over The local wardens con-
trolled and eXtinguished many fires.
The state warden had consulted man
ufacturers of locomotives in the
United States and England with refer
ence to the best spark arrester. 1t is
learned that no such device is wholly
efficient, as fine sparks are always like
ly to escape.
The warden says that the 1000
Chippewa Indians who are scattered
throughout Minnesota forests are more
careful about eXtinguishing their for
est fires than white people. The greater
number of fires are caused by locomo-
tive sparks, but the careless farmer,
burning over fields before ploughing,
and the threshing machines are also
a great source of danger 1t is the
business of the warden to prevent as
we'll as to eXtinguish fires. In the for
est region of Minnesota the govern
ment still holds 100000 acres of pub
lie land. These are visited by home
seekers, timber CRUISERS" and hunters.
The warden remarks that when peo-
pie become educated as to the true
economic values of forests, and to
comprehension of the danger and dam
age from forest fires, every man and
boy who frequents the woods will be
voluntary Waterman to guard
against such fires"
About 1900 workmen are en-
ployed in the logging industry of Min
nesota. 1t is estimated that the total
amount of white pine standing is H.
424 100000 feet, and of red or Norway
pine, 3,412, 475,000 feet. In twenty
three counties there are 10,SS9, 900
acres of natural forest and in the
state there are 11,S00.000 acres of ma
tural forest, not including mere brush
or swamp land. The annual cut of
pine for each of the past three years is
estimated at 100000 feet. The con-
sumption of mercantile hard wood
lumber in Minnesota is estimated at
1o1.000000 feet annually .-Indianap

HORSE TALK.

The farmer who is breeding good
colts is wise. The bicycle may go, but
the horse will be here forever. 1t
seems rather absurd to think of this
being the beginning of the horseless
age, when we realize the increasing in
terest of the wealthy classes in the
horse. Magnificent horse flesh shows
in all parts of the country, North
South, East and West. Never before
have horses brought such prices if
only the right sort are offered. Who is
going to supply this demand?
Every farmer who has an apprecia-
ton of the horse should have at least
one first class horse to sell every year
one that is good enough to bring sew
eral hundred dollars in the city mar
ket. If you raise a colt of the proper
quality you will not wait long for a
buyer.
Reports declare that there are very
few yearlngs in the country-almost
no sucking colts. Horses are wear
ing out rapidly in the cities. Some one
must supply the demand that is sure
to come in few years.
Don't let the weanlings get thin and
weak. Increase the grain ration if
they are not doing as well as they
should. There is no economy in let
ting a colt or young horse get thin. 1t
pays to fuss" with them.

bees had better let them alone. How
