A prominent paper recently stated
that the present high price Of fiaxseed
was owing to the war In the Philip
pines, deducing the conclusion that the
shortened supply of hemp from the is
lands had affected the price of fax
fiber for cordage purposes. This was
a wrong conclusion. Flax fiber is but
little used for cordage purposes. The
straw Is only reduced to lint in tow
mills and is mostly used for upholster-
ing. 1t is not suitable for binding
Irvine or ropes and, so far, has not been
successfully worked up into paper,
though 1t may finally be thus used.
The increased price Of faxseed Is
caused wholly by the unusual demand
for llnseed oil for paint, there having
been more painting done in 1899 than
IT. any year Of the nations existence.

Some very fine road horses are being
developed in this country. the product
of the German and French coach sires
imported the past few years. No more
salable horse is placed upon the market
today than one Of these high stepping,
clean llmbed grade coachers. They
are wanted by men who do not count
the cost IL they can get the sort of
horse they want-mlllionaires. railway
presidents and that sort. Where a
man has a choice brood mare Of suffi'
Client weight, say 1850 pounds, he can
use her in no more profitable manner
than to raise q good coacher.

Rabbits, gophers and rats, because
of their fecundity and destructive pro-
pensities, need every means at the
command of the farmer to hold them
in check. 1t is not unlikely that the
sparrow will have to be included In
the list also. With the rabbits gnaw-
ing his orchard trees, the gophers dam
aging his meadow and pulling up his
newly planted corn and with the rats
swarming all over his corncribs and
barns, he needs every hawk and owl,
supplemented by traps, poison and
cats, to fight these pests. These are
the pests of settlement and civiliza-
ton, propagating under the most ad-
verse conditions and only to be held
In check by the most vigilant care and
effort.

LiYeA of Birds.

A French authority on the subject
has just concluded some remarkable
investigations into the lives of animals
and birds. He finds that the average
life of a swan ranges from $50 to 300
years. Eagles. kites and falcons. live
over $50 years. An eagle died at Ber-
lin in 1919 which was taken captive in
Ills, when 1t was evidently already
many years old. and a white-headed
kite died at the castle of Schoenbrun
in 1924, which was captured in Austria
in 1706, having thus passed l1S years
in captivity. Sea and marsh dwelling
birds live during several generations Of
humanity. and ducks and cuckoos are
equally long-lived. hooks and crows
frequently exceed 100 years of life.
and though magpies in captivity rare
ly live more than twenty or twenty
five years, they are thought to live. in
freedom. to great age.

One of the worst results wrought out
by the department store is the destruc-
ton of real estate values In the cities
where they are located. A case came
under our notice lately where the es-
adjustment Of such store in a thrifty
western town had destroyed not only
the business interests Of street, but
had so deprecated the real and the
rental value Of the business lots on
such street that the owners. who were
formerly wealthy. were now absolutely
bankrupt.

We do not think that 1900 will be n
good year to build and make extensive
improvement. The prices of all build
ing material by reason Of the unprece-
dented demand during 1899 has been
foisted up to a point where. unless the
will pay better to wait and permit pro-
duction Of such materials once more
to catch up with the consumptive de-
mand. The close of 1890 probably sees
prices Of all manufactured ,commodi-
ties at about high water mark, and,
following the natural law, lower prices
may be expected.

! 1t has been recently discovered that
the tide lands bordering on Puget
sound will produce finer flower bulbs
tulips, hyacinths and others-than Will
Holland, which country has had mo-
nopoly In this line for centuries. The
conditions on the coast seem to be just
right to produce these bulbs in their
greatest perfection. and the business
of growing them is to be taken up upon

BY the injection Of certain chemicals
into the roots Of plants just ready to
bloom some interesting changes have
been brought about in the color Of the
blossom. Thus an eastern gardener
has succeeded in producing green
carnation, and other flowers have been
radically changed in color.

Nebraska beet sugar growers have
had a prosperous season. The crop of
charine matter and has commanded
from $3.50 to So per ton as against 81,
the usual price. The yield of beets
has been about 13 tons to the acre and
the cost of production about $27 per
acre, leaving nice profit for the grow
er. The acreage will be largely in
creased next year. In general way
the above statement holds good as to
Michigan, Illinois. Minnesota and New
York beet sugar interests.

A farmer In Illinois got caught thus:
He agreed to give farmland 3 cents
a bushel for all the corn he would husk
inside of 10 hours up to 100 bushels
and the sum of 81 a bushel for all he
husked over that amount. 1t cost the
farmer $26 for the days work. 1t is
evident that there is good deal Of

Bridges Are Safe So Far.
Albany, Ca, Feb. 17.-Contrary to ex-
pectation the Flint river did not commence
falling or even remain stationary last
night Between suns it climbed three and
a half feet, and now registers twenty-sev-
en- and half feet above low water mark.
All the low lands have been flooded, and
the river in some places has the appear
ance of an immense red lake.
Much timber still moves down stream,
though less is to be seen than yesterday.
1t is believed that the bridges at Albany
are safe. though the bridge of the Albany
and Northern Railway, twenty miles
north, is reported in danger of being car
ried away. large force of hands is try
ing to save it.
The water has reached the Albany Lum-
Der Company's MILL just north of the city,
but has not yet caused any very serious
damage there. A good many small dwell
ings have been isolated by the water and
abandoned by their inmates.
It is regarded as strange that the Flint
should stiIl be rising when all the other
rivers in the state have been falling for
two or three days. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the rise will continue longer
than to-day, and 1T is safe to say that
after tonight the swollen waters will re-
