Steady Demand for Stock.

There has never been a time in
the history Of this country when
prime pure bred cattle were in such
high favor as now, says the Drovers'
Journal. The inquiry is as broad as
the land, and broader, for it extends
to our neighbors across the border,
both north and south. There have
been temporary spasms in the de-
mand for high-class cattle in years
past, but it was never universal, as it
is now. There were never such good
wholesome reasons behind it. We
are 100000 short in the general cat
tie supply, and 100000 ahead in
population, with a field abroad which
is constantly growing. The public is
willing and better able to pay for
better meat; why shouldn't it be pro-
duced?

Ewes Apple Tree.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Ewes teeth is one of the many
botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of 1.-The forbid
den fruit" or Ewes apple tree"
The blossom has very pleasant
scent, but the really remarkable fea-
ture of the tree, the one to which it
owes its name, is the fruit. 1t is
beautiful, and hangs from the tree
in peculiar manner. Orange on the
outside, and deep crimson within,
each fruit has the appearance of hav-
ing had piece bitten out of it. This
fact, together with it's poisonou
quality, led the Mohammedans to rep
resent it as the forbidden fruit of the
Garden Of Eden and to warn men
against its noxious properties. The
mark upon the fruit is attributed to
Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not
also leave it's mark is not known,
but, as only one piece seems to be
missing, its loss is ascribed to the
woman.-Buffalo Commercial.

FEEDING FLOOR FOR HOGS.

strong board fence must be put up all
around it to prevent the hogs being
crowded off and injured.
At one end of the pen an approach
should be built up to the gate, which
can be closed while the feed is being
placed on the floor. The other end of
the floor crib or pen is located in
which the feed is stored. The floor
must be cleaned after each feeding.
Put long-handled fork through the
middle of a board about three feet
long and six inches wide. With this
the cobs and uneaten portion of the
feed can be quickly pushed off. Hogs
should never be fed unclean material.
The accompanying illustration indi-
Gates the arrangement of the feeding
floor and feeding pen. This floor is
partially under roof. L. Irwin, in

A WORTHY MEMBER.
Veracity Club Listens to the Long.
Haired Lying of an Injured
Associate.

Ella borate arrangements are being
made by the Veracity club to hold an
inquest on Smith. To at once-relieve
any possible feeling of horror, assur.
ance is given that Smith is not dead.
He is about and attending to his daily
routine, which is not arduous, so far
manual labor is concerned. All that
he has to do is to collect as much as
he can of what is coming to him, says
the Detroit Free Press.
The name of the club mentioned sug-
gests it's mission, and Smith is char
ter member. 1t is expected that some
of the latter acquisitions will make N
occasional departure from the truth,
but for one of the prime movers,
man who went in on the ground floor,
to depart from the truth, even in triv-
ial matters, is objectionable.
Smith is short, fat and dangerously
near so years old. Long years ago he
belonged to baseball team that held
the championship of an agricultural
country, and he has never disabused
himself of the idea that he is still
one of the greatest baseball players
without a professional enga cement.
He went to his old Ohio home when
the hottest of the hot weather was
upon us, and when he first appeared at
the Veracity club after his return he
looked as if he had tried to take fall
out of zig-zag streak of lightning.
His hand was split from the base of
his middle finger well toward the CEN
ter of the palm. He had a pad over one
eye and his scalp looked las if it had
been gently investigated with an ice
pick.
s'Had game down at the old stamp
ing ground" was his story. "Got the
boys together, challenged the best in
all that section, and mopped the earth
with them. / caught without a mask
These fellows that wear coat of mail
make me tired"
Through the hired girl the club has
learned that Smith battered himself
getting in piece of ice. He slipped,
split his hand on the corner of the
cake, struck his head on the edge of the
refrigerator and fell into a coal bin
filed with broken chairs, garden hose
and cracked jars. Dispositions from
Ohio show that there are but two men
of the old ball team living in the state,
and they haven't tackled the game
since July 4, 1879. Smith is going to
drop hard when the inquest is held.

VALUABLE FORAGE CROP.
The Strong Points of Winter Rye
Make 1t Invaluable Where Pas
ture Ii Desired.

Next to rape, winter rye is probably
the most valuable forage crop grown
in the United States. When all it's good
points are considered, it almost be-
comes a question as to whether it
should not be given first place as
forage crop. But it is inferior to rape
as a soiling crop. The strong points
about winter rye as forage plant are:
The abundant pasture which it pro-
duces fai, and spring, the earliness and
lateness of its growth, the power
which it has to withstand severe
weather and to grow on poor soils, and
the fact that it is grown as catch
crop, that is to say, crop grown be-
tween crops. Rye can be grown any
season without losing a crop. When
pastured off in the spring, it may be
followed by crop of corn, sorghum,
field roots or rape. The soil is pre-
pared for rye in the same way as for
other grain. The seed bed should be
fine and moist. In a dry autumn
moisture is secured by a jndicious use
of the roller and harrow on upturned'
land. FROM TWO TO three DuSlio1o "
seed per acre should be sown, and
preferably with the grain drill, Tor
many reasons that may be given. IL
should be sown any time after mid
summer and on until the autumn, but
it should always be sown sufficiently
long before winter to enable it to root
firmly. If sown quite early in very hot
weather it may rust. The partial rem
edy for this is immediate pasturing.
In the spring it will furnish grazing
from two to three weeks earlier than
any other plant, and it should at all
times be grazed down closely to keep
it from jointing. Mich COWS should
not be allowed to pasture on it for
more than two or three hours day.
The grazing which young rye furnishes
is excellent for any kind of stock, and
in case it should outgrow the grazing
powers of the animals pasturing it, II
they are removed until the heads form
and ripen and begin to break down,
the fora cling for swine is most excel
lent.-Colman's Rural World.

CHEAP FEEDING FLOOR.
Progressive Stock Raisers Consider
1t Not Merely Convenience
But a Necessity.

Feeding floors are becoming more
and more popular among advanced
stock raisers and as there is so much
at stake in feeding hogs no effort
should be spared to keep them healthy.
When the hogs are fed on the ground
there is great danger of inviting dis
ease. A feeding floor, therefore, is
very desirable. To insure perfect
healthfulness it should be three or
four feet above the ground, so that
perfect ventilation is secured and the
harboring of rats and mice made i'm
possible. The floor can be made of
inch lumber and any desired size. A

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Christians form less than one per
cent. of the population of India.
Education enables us to know, to
weigh and determine the truth.-Rev.
DR.. Lewis.
There are ten churches in Massachu-
sets that give more money for mis-
sionary and benevolent uses than they
spend in maintaining their own
churches.
The Manchester England school
board has 600 scholars on the books
and 1,577 teachers. There are 16,399
pupils and 066 teachers at the evening
schools.
The Buddhists are so impressed with
the value of medical mission work that
they have bought piece of land in
Hakodate and are going to build
large hospital for the poor; they pro-
pose to make no charge for attend
ance.
The slow growth of Christianity
among the students of India is attrib-
uted to the fact that in Difference to
heather public opinion the English
government excludes the Bible from
the colleges and schools, while the
reading books give selections from the
religious books common to India.

Pushing Pigs to Maturity.

In all lines of live stock the tend
ency is more and more towards early
maturity, and it is to the type of hog
best suited for that purpose that we
should give encouragement. L be-
lieve, as a rule, we are doing so.
This type is as far removed from the
little, understood, fine boned kind, as
it is from the big, coarse fellows. In
tensive rather than extensive farm
ing is the tendency, and the hog bred
for quality and early maturity is most
surely to be the hog of the future

HINTS FOR SHEPHERDS.

Sheep may be termed the cleaners
or savers of the waste on the farm.
Lambs, wool, mutton and manure
are the four cardinal points of sheep
raising.
Wool is the farm product that
brings the most money in proportion
to what it takes from the farm.
A small ram of good form and
and fleece is better than a large one
without these valuable characteris-
tics.

needs in his business is not consist

PuIIman Ordinary sIeepers

The tonrist travel between the East
and the Pacific Coast has reached enor-
nous proportions in the last few years,
and calls for a special class OF equipment.
To meet this demand the Pullman Co.
has issued from its shops what it tech
nicaIIy calls the"Pnllman Ordinary
Sleeper" These cars appear similar to
the regular sleepers being built on the
same plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows,
pilloW-cases, towels, combs, brushes,
ect. requiring nothing Of the kind to
be furnished by the passenger. Each
car has stove for making tea and coffee
and doing slight housekeeping, and
each section can be fitted with an adjust
able table. A uniformed porter accom-
paBies each car, his business being to
make up berths; keep the car clean, and
look after the wants and comforts of the
passengers. In each of the trains which
are dispatched daily from Portland by
the D. X. & y. Co. is TO be found one
of these pullman Ordinary Sleepers".
The car attached to the Chicago Port
land Special" goes through to Chicego
without change, and the one in the
"Atlantic Express" runs to Kansas City
without change, Passengers in this car
for Chicago change to similar car at
Granger.
Much of the. first class travel lis being
carried in these cars, the rates being
lower, and the service nearly equal to
that in the palace sleepers.
