Khat Tom Brown S Wife Did.

Thomas Q. Brown, the dentist, OF
Holden Square, Pittsburg, has jewel
OF a woman for wife, according to
all accounts. 1t is said that che
played a good Joke on him recentl,
when he was suddenly called upen to
meet large bill.
II seems that soon after thy

brown suddenly appeared to have
developed a mania for art. Every
month or so she would have new

noted that she had acquired new

pillow shams and TAPESTRY cover.
Later still he observed new shop

among his wite's pcsessions or
course he came to the natural con
clusion that all her spare money was
going into these little inves time nts,
but made no comment
But week or two ago there sud

more dollars than he had or could
easily reach, and he began bewailiug
his poverty at the breakfast table.
He was short about twenty dollars
of the sum required.

horses that are fairly treated and
cared for.
Everyone familiar at all with farm
matters must have observed a certain
habit in many horses and COWS to
gnaw wooden posts, trees and similar
objects. This craving for something
which they do not get from their daily
food is satisfied when wood ashes are
administered regularly to them. 1t is
just as natural for the animals to de-
sire this. as it is for us to have craV-
ing for acids, salt and even pepper.

How to Have Fresh Beef.

Have your meat cut into steak as
soon as well cooled. Take a four-gaI-
Ion jar of the broad, straight shape.
or any size will do. The Jar must be
pure, well cleaned, aired and cool when
meat is put in. Sprinkle a little salt
over the bottom of jar, then lay in
meat until it covers the bottom.
where the larger pieces of meat fail
to come together, fill in with small
pieces, press down closely with hand
or clean cloth. Then sprinkle a little
salt all over the meat, also little
pepper, same as if to cook immediate
ly. Repeat unth jar is about two
inches from top. Then have linen
towel or white cloth wrung out of
strong salt water, and press that down
very close on the meat, sprinkle a lit.
tie salt over the top, cover close and
keep in cool, dry place. Every few
days wash cloth and wiring out of the
salt water as before. We have had
success with beef put up this way.
Roll the cloth over when you take out
a steak; if taken off and laid where it
will get soiled it will not do to put
back. After taking out any press the
towel down firmly every time.

Wood Ashes on the Farm.

AS fertilizer writes ore who has
mad experience, wood ashes stand high
and every farmer is more or less ac-
quainted with them. but wonder how
many employ them as medicine for
farm animals. For many years now |
have fed them to stock. and | believe
they nave done much toward preserv-
ing the invariable good health of my
swine, horses and cattle. Of course
there may be difference of opinion
on the subject. and have never yet
found veterinary surgeon who would
recommend wood ashes as a medicine.
Nevertheless experience is sometimes
worth as much as theoretical advice.
My plan is to keep wood ashes. char

mixture is kept before them all the

Clean wood ashes are better than
all the condition powders for the farm
horse. In fact. many of the so-called
powders are composed chiefly of salt

something else of minor Importance

cheaper and easier to administer the

Fall Tree Planting.

Recent bulletins, emanating from
some of the so-called highest authori-
ties, contend that trees may be planted
with just as successful results at one
time in the year as another, provided
provision is certainly comprehensive,
but it does not cover some very impor-
tant considerations. 1t will be diff
cult to convince the practical, expe-
rienced horticulturist that any other
time is as favorable as the fall to OBJ
tain the best degree of success. At
that time the vitality of the tree is the
most nearly dormant, it then being the
least easily affected by injurious at
mospherie conditions. In the fall the
air is most likely to be moist and cool,
thus lessening the liability of the roots
and wood TO become depleted of their
supply of sap and moisture. Another
advantage resulting from fall planting
Is the action on the soil in cold eli
mates, which materially assists in pull
verifying and settling it closely around
the roots, and lastly, when fall set.
they have become established with
plenty OF moisture within easy reach,
thus enabling growth to commence be-
fore the soil is in condition for spring
planting.

Ice for the Farmer.


Too many farmers neglect putting
up ice. Some think it is luxury, but
it is real necessity. During the hot
days of summer the butter can be kept
solid and in the best condition, the
milk may be kept sweet, and the water
can be kept cool by the addition of a
chunk of ice Ice cream may be had
whenever it is desired. without wait
ing TO go to town first to get the ice.
Some farmers say they can buy ice
cheaper than they can put it up, yet
these farmers never buy ice. so they
have to do without, while the man who
puts up ice has plenty.
We will see as to the cost; Our ice
house holds twenty tons. 1t took two
men two days to cut out the ice, and
two men, two days, with two teams,
TO haul it. Counting the men at $1.00
day each, and the drivers and teams
at $3.50 each, making the cost of fill
ing the house with ice, $14. 1t took
one man with team three days TO
haul the sawdust, at $3.50 per day,
amounting to $3.50. The total cost of
putting up the ice and hauling the saw.
dust amounted to s215G. Ice costs 25
cents per hundred and twenty tons
would cost 500, giving the farmer
who puts up the ice balance of S7S.5O
besides the convenience. Thus it VIII.
be seen which is the cheaper.
1t is the general opinion that it takes
house built especially for the purpose
to store ice in. These houses are best.
but other buildings can be utilized
when these are not at hand. Ice can
be stored in wood shed. tool shed or
any good building. Ice will not keep
as we'll in these buildings as in an ice
house. but they can be used. remem.
Der, we put up ice once in building
having tin roof. and everybody said
IL wouldn't keep. But il kept nicely.
1t is best to build an ice house in the
side of hill. putting a drain in the
bottom. to carry off the water that ac-
cumulates.
The ice should be put up while it is
very cold, as when it is thawing the
Ice is wet and bad TO handle The
ice should he sawed out in squares just

The New Pine Needle Industry.

The New Pine Needle Industry.
Southern Oregon and California
have given to the United States new
industry that of converting tb Nre
and extract of the pine needle il to
coarse cloth, stuffing for mattresses
and pillows, toilet soaps, cough candies
and syrup. From the success with
which the manufactured articles are
meeting, and owing to the abundance
Of pine to be found ON the mountain
ranges of the coast, the industry prom
ises to become of more than ordinary
importance in the western states. The
industry has been known in Germany
for more than fifty years, but it was
not brought to the United States un-
til four years ago, the first two facto-
ries being built in Grants Pass, where
they are doing a thriving business.
The trees from which the available
needles are picked are known as the
yellow, or bull pine. They are found
in abundance in southern Oregon.
The needles are picked by men, women
and children; twenty-five cents per
! hundred pounds are paid for the work
500 pounds represents an average
days picking for one person. AS soon
as the nsciles are picked they are
hauled at once to the factory so as
not to lose any of their good qualities
by whiting or exposure to the sun. Ar
irving at the factory the needles are
dumped into huge steaming watts where
they remain for six or eight hours,
until they become as soft ami flexible
as rubber. The needles are from eight
to ten inches in length. The extract
or pine nn3dle oil is secured Dy the dis
tillation of the needles in the steaming
vat. 1t requires 1000 pounds of
needles TO make one gallon of extract.
This extract is used in making pine
needle syrup, soaps and candies.
These articles are noted for their me-
dicinal qualities and their efficiency in
the curing OF coughs, colds, and all dis
eases of pulmonary character.
The process of making the fibre or
pine needle wool is wholly mechanical.

so through a washing, drying, and
heating process which, when complete,
makes fluffy, soft and light wool fibre
that is unsurpassed IN many particu-
lars as a stuffiLs for mattresses, pill
lows and cushions. Mattresses and
pillows stuffed with this fibre are
lighter than those filed with wool, and
nearly as light as those stuffed with
feather down. There is a pleasant.
permanent odor of the pine forest
emitted from such mattresses and pill
lows that is positive cure for sleep
le 'ress, headache, and bronchial
I lies. Thus far eighteen different
ar. les are manufactured from the
pine needle fibre and extract. The
articles are all meeting with popular
favor everywhere, and as all the south
ern Oregon farmers possess an endless
amount of trees. which are benefited
by having the needles picked from
them in the spring and fall, the new
industry promises to become a most
important branch of the vests agri-
cultural industry.

Facts for Our Farmers.

Snow is better if it can be had After
a layer has been put down, cover with
snow an inch or so deep; then begin
laying the next layer. If there is no
snow this may be omitted After the
house is filed, throw two or three
buckets of water on the ice TO wet it
so that it will freeze in a solid mass.
Place about a foot of sawdust on the
floor of the building, then put in the
ice. Leave a space of one foot be-
tween the ice and walls for sawdust;
also cover the ice a foot deep. Care
must be taken not to put too much
sawdust on, for it can be overdone, as
we'll as not using enough. When too
much is used, the sawdust heats, caus-
ing the ice to melt rapidly. The saw
dust should be tamped down quite
often. AS the ice melts, keep it
tamped down so that no air cavities
are formed. When using the ice, begin
or layer and use from it till it is
gone. then begin on the next layer, etc.
Haul the sawdust in the fall and have
everything ready for harvesting the
ice.
Farmers can put up ice when they
can do nothing but feed. Ice is no
worse to handle than wood, for as soon
as it is out of the water, it is frozen
dry. Keep an old saw and AK in the
ice house during the summer so that
the ice may be cut in the desired size
for use. After farmer has once put
up ice, he will not do without it
