New Milling Company.

A flour milling company, to be
known as the NJ. NJ. & B. Co.. has just
been incorporated at Chelan Falls.
The incorporators are Messrs. r. T..
Murdock, james Marshall and George
D. Brown. 1t is their purpose to at
once inaugurate the building OF 100
barrel flour mill at the falls, although
but 5O-barrel machinery will be put in
at the start. When it is remembered
that at present there is but one flour
mill between Wilbur and the Cascade
mountains, in an area considerably
more than 100 miles square, it will be
seen that the present move means a
large and profitable business from the
start,

Taking OFF Hides.

The National Provisoner, speaking
of removing the skins from cattle and
calves, gives the following hints, which
1t will pay any farmer or stock raiser
to take note of, for even though one
may not kill an animal for eating pur-
poses, no one is so fortunate to never
lose one by accident or disease. In
skianing beef hides and calf skins keep
the back of the knife close to the hide
and draw it tightly with the left hand.
BY following this suggestion the La
bility to cut or score is considerably
lessened. On the foreleg the knife
should go down to the armpit, so-called,
and then forward to the point of the
brisket. On the hind leg the cut should
be made from the hoof of one down to
the back of the leg, semi-circularly
across one to the other, and on to the
other, and on the hoof. The throat
should never be cut crosswise, and the
horn and tail bones should always be
removed. The operation of sailing
is equally important. To salt hides
thoroughly a water-bucket full of good
salt should be used to each sixty
pound hide, the quantity for large and
small hides being in proportion. After
this they, should. be rubbed and rolled
lRG S1ndependent Of cuts and..scores.
hides which are not taken OF in the
manner specified are classed as No. -

Venice without its waters would be
far less picturesque place than it ao-
tually is, says the London Chronicle.
And such state of affairs, we are led
to believe, may eventually come about.
The regular increase in the delta Of the
Pc has been studied by Prof. Marinel-
ii. Comparison OF the Austrian map
Of about 1928 with the records of sur
veys made in 1893 shows that the mean
annual increase during those years has
been about three-tenths Of square
mile; and from all known data it ap-
pears that the total increase during six
centuries has been about 1873 square
miles. The incease is continuing and
the Gulf of Venice is doomed in time
to disappear No immediate alarm
need, however, be excited, for P,
Marinelli calculates that between 100
and 1870 centuries will elapse before the
entire Northern Adriatic will have be-
come dry land.

space between is packed full Of saw
dust, tanbark or sand. Outside clay is
rammed down tight against the walls
for a thickness of 16 to 20 inches. The
floor is sloped little toward the center
and loose boards are laid on the ground
with ends pointing to center. One-inch
spaces are left between boards to form
channels to conduct waste water to
drain at center. The roof may have
gable ends or be hipped. Rafters are
ceiled up below with matched boards,
making a tight connection with inside
sheathing of side walls At peak Of
afoof trap door is formed, arranged to
be opened and closed from without;
over this trap door is built the small
ventilator with oblique Stats to freely
admit air. but keep out rain and sun.

rlnntad to the Rnof.

A rather ingenius method of re-
placing the roof of a standpipe was re-
sorted to recently by the water works
department at Napoleon, 0. Some
time ago, in violent wind storm, the
roof was blown off, together with the
upper part of the ladder leading to the
top. Since then several plans for max
ing the repairs have been considered,
but the following was decided upon as
the most feasible: The water was
withdrawn from the standpipe and a
raft was built inside When the wa
ter was turned on the raft, laden with
workmen and their utensils, was grad
ually sent upward at the rate of 20 feet
per hour, it requiring five hours to
make the ascent. Hooks and pulleys
were then attached to the pipe and ma
terial was drawn up on the outside,
while the men performed their work,
using the raft for a platform.

one-Man crosscut Saw.

Most crosscut saws are made with
two handles and are intended to be
used by two men, but 1t is frequently
desirable on the farm to have the saw
available for use by a single man. Logs
to be sawed may be too large for the
bucksaw and a sharp, one-man crosscut
will saw almost If not fully as fast as a
bucksaw and without the back-break-
ing effect. In any event, whether a
saw is to be used by one or tive men. 1t
is an advantage to have one end Of it
furnished with a two-handed handle.
Some small crosscuts are made with
such handle at one end Gig. y, but If
not, the ordinary handle can be re-
moved from any broad -bladed saw and

State Care of Roads.

When the State aids the counties to
improve the roads 1t simply taxes both
city and country for that purpose. A
road is really the property of the State,
in one sense, as It is free to the resi-
dents of the cities and can be used by
any one. But the farmers should not
wait for State aid to improve the
roads, as they cannot afford to haul
their produce over roads that are al
most impossible. The tax on each
farmer for road purposes is very small
compared with the benefits and advan-
tages derived.-Exchange.

A Los Angeles Times man writes
to his paper that throughout great
pant Of Southern California the olive
crop is this year complete failure
At Fallbrook, in San Diego county,
the large acreage of olive trees on the
Red Mountain ranch represents a con-
siderable production of the fruit,
though neighboring orchards are bar
rem. Beginning at Santa Paula, and
extending westward through Santa
Barbara county, there is territory en-
bracing several large orchards, in
which the trees are laden with heavy
crops. This constitutes the production
of Southern California for the present
year.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS
Items of General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.
The country,a Apple orop.

The Country's Apple Crop.
In connection with demand in the
East and in Europe for our fruit, we
quote from the Orange Judd Farmer in
regard to the extent of the apple crop:
This crop in the United States is small
Ter than it has been since reliable sta
tistics have been collected. The total
supply from the 1898 crop of the Unit
cd States is $4,000, 900 barrels, as COM
pared with something over 40, 100000
barrels last year and $1,000, 600 in the
record breaking crop of 1896. The fail
ure is widespread, reaching from the
Pacific coast to- Maine, and in none of
the states does the output of fruit ap-
proach an average. (This is not true,
however, where the crop is not fail
ure). In the great apple states of the
Central West the crop is almost total
failure, although the situation in Mich
igan is better than elsewhere, having
about two-thirds of the bumper crops
OF 1896. New York has only one-ffth
OF full crop. The failure is attributed
to the fact that during the blooming
season there was an excessive rainfall,
which washed out the pollen and pre-
vented proper fertilization by insects,
while a cold wave added to the injury,
and subsequent moist, humid weather
was very favorable to the development
of fungus diseases. The Ontario crop
is decidedly short. The crop of Europe
is reported below the normal.

Idnho,s nLinernl Ontnnt.

The mines of Idaho have shared the
general prosperity OF the state. In
every section of the commonwealth new
strikes were made during the year just
closed, and many OF them have de-
veloped into promising properties.
The states mineral production for 1898
is $l.659, $40 more than 1t was last
year, and $8.663, ,610 more than in
1896. J. W. Cunningham, superin-
tendent of the United States assay Office
at Boise, has made an estimate of the
production of the state for the past
year, upon which the foregoing COM
parison is based. The following gives
the actual production for 1897, and
the estimated production for 1898:

Spokane by the Spokane Falls Gas
Light Company. which now estimates
spending 5000 in improvements.
The consumption of gas in that city
has doubled within the past two years,
necessitating an increased capacity.
Twenty thousand dollars will also be
spent at Butte, Mont, in doubling the
capacity OF the gas works there, which
are controlled by the Spokane company.

Look to Details.

The time has come when the Ameri.
can farmer must look to every detail,
both In production and in waste on the
farm, If he would keep abreast Of his
enterprlslng nelghbors The day has
passed when there is a good living in
the soil alike for the shlfHess and the
energetic. Careless methods which OBJ
tanned on some farms fifty years ago
will not now stand the severe competi-
ton Of improved machinery and intelli-
gent management.

First take a level and tape line, go
80 feet from the top Of hill, measure 30
feet from top all round the hill, setting
stakes at each place; then take the
level and see what kind Of slope you
have to deal with. If medium slope a
one-horse plow Is sutficient-say a slope
of 2 or 3 feet--but for more would re-
qulre a deeper furrow Run twice to
each 30 feet of ditch. Throw dirt out,
leaving ditch 2 feet wide, foot deep
or little over; on these banks SOW or
plant blue grass or red clover to hold
the banks. Then plant two rows Of
trees 6 feet from these bitches, prune
up to be bushy and thrifty, and then IL
you wish you can set grape vines along
the bitches about feet off. Let rows
of trees be Is feet apart each way and
you have your orchard fixed so as to
turn your hogs In when you wish, to
pick up all the fallen fruit. BY this
method you will make both ends meet
The hogs will become healthy and fat,
your trees will be free from borers and
many other insects that raise In the
fallen fruit. The fruit will be much
larger and finer and free from rotten
spots, and the trees will be vigoroI
and healthy.-Practical Farmer.
