Keen Your Batter Pure.

The farmer that Is engaged in max
,ns butter, and who desires to make
the best, should ponder on the reasons
that have tended to make creamery
butter Q leader on the market 1t must
not be forgotten that one of the req
sons is that the butter made in the
creamery is put in a room by itself and
kept isolated from all Objectionable
odors till it is sent to market. This il
ont thing that should receive the par.
ticular attention of the farmer. We
have seen milk set to cream and butter
churned in cellars where all kinds Of
vegetables were kept.-Farmers' Be

SINGLE WHEEL RUSSIAN CART.

below the axles, being united in an
iron socket a few inches in front of
the frame. The mules or ponies are
harnessed, no in front, but on each
side of the frame, which is less than
a foot in thickness. A single short
shaft with a fixed transverse bar at
the end, which hooks on to the two
collars, screws into the iron socket
and can thus be made the length re-
quired. The load is placed upon a
double pack-saddle, which rests upon
the center Of the frame. Its weight
thus presses almost entirely upon the
central wheel, the two sides balancing
each other, and resting only slightly
upon the backs of the mules, which
are able to employ nearly all their
strength in drawing the load. At the
same time the possibility Oh tipping"
backwards or forwards is prevented
by the leverage of the shaft attached
to the collar, just as it is in a two
wheeled cart.

BIG TREES IN OREGON.

generally eight to ten days and ii was on

side of the divide. between the waters of
the Bull Run and the Hood river, this
bunch of giant trees. The like l never saw
before nor since.
Before l saw these giants | had measur-
ed from time to time some trees at home
which girdled twenty-nine to thirty feet
aronnd about three feet above the base
but these trees could not be compared Ut
all with the big trees | found in the
mountains. They would appear as mere
sticks against those giants | honestly
believe that those giants will girdle sixty
TO eighty feet around near the base, and
that they are $50 20 400 feet high. They
stand on a kind of fiat or bottom and this
fiat is well protected from discovery, as
far as l could perceive by steep and high
bluffs not only from the Hood river Hde
These big trees are, in my mind, some
where near the north line of the National
Park, but II is doubtful If they are in il.
There are two species of the giant trees.
one species has a yellowish and not very
rough bark. is straight and round as a
candle, has no limbs to an immense hight,
and has nice. wonderful crown. The
father of this very aristocratic species in
our mountains is surely the emperor of
our forest. People must not think that
this is the so-callcd mobile fir" because
| know not only the noble fir" but many
other mountain trees as well. Nor must
they think that this species is one of the
common trees in the mountains. / can
not say how many such giants there ore.

thousands. on our way home one OF my
companions was drowned in the Bull Run,

FINDS HIMSELF A HEALER.
Atlanta Police Captain Gifted With
Strange Power.

Atlanta. July 15-Life has been made
weary for Capt. Thompson of the police
force by the discovery that he is gifted
with marked hypnotic power. In his deal
ings with the prisoners, who have from
time 10 time been brought before him, it
was noticed that Capt. Thompson seemed
to exert a great influence over them
A short time ago the captain went home
one night and discovered his little son was
quite ill., The child was very fretful and
on the point of having commissions. Capt
Thompson made a few passes over its
head and in an instant it was sound
asleep.
The story was told in the neighborhood
A few days later a woman who was suf-
fering great agony from neuralgia sent an
urgent plea to the captain to visit her
He consented, and by the use of his
strange power soon had the woman well
and happy.
This cure naturally added 10 his fame
as a healer. and IT was not long before
the entire neighborhood was singing his
praises But, however pleasing the praise
may have been. it was not gratifying to
che captain to find himself besieged with
people who want his services. He does
not hook al the matter lightly and does
not feel like turning a deaf ear to the
throngs who seek his assistance. He says
that since God has given him this power
ne supposes II Is his duty to exercise 1t
for the best interests.
