by John Oliver, who lost one-third of his band, and three hundred by J. c. Moore, who lost one-sixth of his band.
 Deaths of sheep from poisoning have been so numerous in that section that their owners are carefully investigat- ing to ascertain the cause. Along Dixie creek and several other sections, including the head of John Day val ley, the sheep die in large numbers every summer. Several theories have been advanced to explain the matter. Some stockmen think that poisonous grass or weeds kill sheep, though harmless for horses. Some believe that rival stockmen maliciously place poison on the ranges, while still others attribute their losses to poisonous mineral outcroppings.
 Several rare deposits of nitrate of potassium outcrop in John Day coun- try. The deposits are saturated with rain, and the hot sun which follows brings the potassium to the surface. It forms whitish crust, ,undistinguish- able from alkali. Because it is salty, the sheep eat potassium greedily, and die soon after.

Cream Separating on the Farm

Considerable discussion is taking place in the dairy papers nas to the advantages and disadvantages that will follow the practice eff it is adopted) of separating cream that is to be delivered to creameries, by hand- separator on the farm. Those who advocate the custom point out the advantages that will follow the retain ing of the sweet skim-milk on the farm for the feeding of calves and pigs. The buttermakers at the creamery, on the contrary, claim that better butter can be made.by them where the cream is separated by power separator. They also claim that where there is a large bulk of cream separated, the average percentage of loss of fat is less than is the case where each farmer separates his own cream and delivers it to the creamery. Another thing the creamery managers fear is that the farmer separating his own cream will not deliver it more than twice week i, and that most of them have not facil- ities to retain the cream in proper condition for delivery to the cream ery.-Jersey Advocate.

The Solid Hoofed Hog.

There arA some solid hoofed hogs fn the world, but they are few and far between. Darwin has great deal to say about such pigs in his "Origin of Species," as there were only three in England at the time he wrote this book.
 The solid hoofed hog is not freak of nature, as many suppose, but ge1l- uine case of reversion to 0 primitive or ancestral type. It seems that, un. like the prehistoric ancestor of the .hodern horse, which has four toes or hoofs, the old elotherium, from which animal all members of the swine fam fly are descended. had a solid hoof. and in the course of ages, as the old parent form died out and the modern wild boer, domestic hog. peccary, etc., were evolved this solid hoof became through what Darwin calls "adapta. ton" and natural selection" divided up Into two parts, so that all modern hogs are eleven hoofed. Occasionally, however, hog Is born with the old original solid hoof of the primitive hog ancestor, thus demonstrating the tend ency in all animals to revert now and then to the parent form.

Wade Hampton,s Slaves.

It is related of General Wade Hamp- ton that on one occasion he was rid ing along q highway that led through one of his numerous southern planta- tons when he met a slave of fine build and appearance. He drew rein and said: You are likely fellow. Who do you belong toT "Wade Hampton. sir" "Ah! And who is Wade Hampton" Please. sir, master, you mus be from de norf. 'kase Mas Wade Hampton Is de berry fust gemmun in de souf."
 The story used to be told to illustrate the greatness in numbers of Wade Hampton's slaves. His own slaves did not know him by sight-that is, hun dreds and thousands of them did not. The slaves he owned numbered 4.000. and he was therefore the largest slave owner of the south or of modern times.

should bring us, to a realization of the necessity for proper drainage in flower pots.
 Air in pot soon loses it's life-giving properties and must be changed. Water accomplishes this by driving out the foul air and then when the water passes out or evaporates, fresh air takes its place. In this way the soil is thoroughly ventilated. See that the pot drainage is free enough so that the water can perform this necessary and all-important work.

Dumas Wealth and Poverty.


 AleXandre Dumas rise to wealth and luxury was almost as marvellous as that of his most celebrated hero. He built magnificent chateau. which he named Monte-Christo. There he enter tained all corners, friend and stranger alike, with more than oriental magnifi- cence and sometimes with oriental mystery. His purse was open to all who sought 1t. and the day came when he experienced Timon's fate without acquiring T1mon's disposition. He could not become misanthrope, though his fortune disappeared almost as suddenly as 1t came, and then he learned the ingratitude of men. His last days were passed not in poverty, but in narrow circumstances. He left Paris in the fall of 1870 just as the German army was closing in to besiege 1t and when France was feeling Its deepest woe. To the last he preserved bis gayety and youthful spirit. Il had but one napoleon in my pocket when first came here," he said. q go away with two, and yet they call me spendthrift"

Loganberry Culture

B. F. R., Fresno. H. H. F., Whit tier, and several others write asking for full directions regarding the cul- ture of Loganberries.
 Any strong soil is suited to the Loganberry. It should be prepared in most thorough manner, plowed, cul- tivated, cross-plowed and cultivated !; in fact, put in state of thorough tilth. Lay out the rows as best adapted for irrigating and set heavy post at the end of each row, with smaller ones every 40 or 50 feet, or even closer, be- tween these. The rows should be eight feet apart to allow of easy cultivation, etc., and the plants from three to four feet apart in the rows.
 Stretch out wire on the posts, the bottom one IS inches from the ground, then one more, IS inches above this, making trellis three feet high. Tie the first years growth of vines on the lower wire before the new canes start to grow. When the second crop is long enough, tie them to the top wire and in this way there will be no difficulty in keeping the two different sets sepa- rated. As soon as the crop is off the first set, cut them off and make room for the next growth. In this way the handling is greatly facilitated and cheapened and the old and new wood is not mixed up.
 The best time to plant is during February, March and April.
 New plants are obtained by what is known as layering. As soon as the tips of the canes touch the ground this can be done. Bury the young tips so that the end can just project. Be sure to firm the soil over the tip. AS this grows, the process can be re- peated. It is imperative that plenty of water be sused, in fact one of the secrets of success with the Loganberry is plenty of water, plenty of fertilizer and lots of work.
 Another and easier way to secure plants is to bury the last two or three feet of the ends of the canes the last of September. This will give you one very strong plant at the very end and lot of weaker ones nearer in. Better not use these last, or at least most of them. m.-Californi Cultivator.

 LOSERS
Murddser Gives Himself Up-Forest Fires Raging in Washington Steamer Chico Supposed to Have Met With Mshap-$l, ,00O,0 900 in Opium

Frank P. Kelly, a mining man, formerly telegraph operator at Naco, committed suicide at Douglas, Ari- zona, Tuesday night.
 John Turner, ,well known black smith of Garberville, committed sui eide by shooting Saturday. Temporary insanity is the reason assigned.
 Over $1 ,000, ,00O worth of opium was brought to the San Francisco port by the Japanese liner, Hong-gong Maru. It came in the ordinary course of trade, and its arrival attracted no more than passing notice.
 A fire at one o'clock Saturday morn- ing at Virginia City destroyed the dwellings of James Shargo and Pete Shay, the Crosby Company storehouse Woolff's drug store, and the city bakery building. Loss, $5000.
 A special to the Republican, Phoe- nix, Ariz, from Agua Callente says Josiah Anderson killed William Cam eron and gave himself up. Anderson was previously sent to the peniten- tiary, served a portion of term and was pardoned.
 A forest fire which for time threat ened Nevada City is now under con- trol. The fire started about two miles northwest of the city, quickly spread ing over the thick forest and eating its way through a mile of territory in four hours. Hundreds of men worked hard to check the flames.
 P. M. H. Welsh, captain of mounted police at Dawson, arrested in rail- road camp in Nevada, Louis Ladocour, alias Ed. Labelle, alias l.. Stone, wanted for the murder of Alphonse Constantine, Guy Beaudoin and Leon Bouthillet, ten miles below Stewart River, on the Yukon River, June p, 1902.
 It is believed in San Francisco that disaster has overtaken the steamer Chico, which sailed from that port August 23 for Seattle. Nothing has been seen or heard of her since. Ordi- narily the overdue craft should make the run to the Sound in seventytwo hours, at the most. As there has been no bad weather, it is supposed she has met with some mishap.
 A man by the name of Ad Began met death Saturday at McCloud. Began was on moving log train and jump ed because he feared collision was imminent. Another train approached from an opposite direction, but the locomotives were stopped before collid- ing. Began rolled and struck his head on rock, and sustained injuries that caused instant death.
 Forest fires have been raging lin the northeastern part of Clark county, Washington, and considerable damage is reported up to this time. Fine tracts of timber have been destroyed, and!the total loss from the flames will undoubtedly be heavy before the fall rains quench the fire. Twelve hun dred cords of wood, the property of Frank Kubik of Woodlawn, have been burned

 four to five in the mornings, usually.
 To be always free from vermin the chicken farm should start free and keep that way. It is easily worked so, but otherwise it is constant war and hand o-hand battle.
 Some folks think poultry farming should pay 100 per cent on the invest ment, and expect it will; but they think if any other investment pays them 10 to 20 per cent it is way-up enterprise.
 Two Corning almond growers, who have 600 and 1500 trees, respectively, have sold their crop at 10 cents per pound on the trees. The New Era estimates this to yield an income of $1S0 per acre.
 The blackbird. which was at one time almost universally dispised, is growing in favor with fruit growers, who now relaize that the bird is an active pest destroyer. Many oi the leading fruit growers in this valley believe that if the blackbirds were protected they would solve the canker worm problem. m.-Corning New Era.
 A recent news report states that "Iowa farmers in the vicinity of Fl Dorado are erecting commodious grain eleators upon their farms, whereby they are enabled to store their own grain as well as to take advantage of cheap prices land buy from renters and farmers. The grain buyers and eleva- tor men in the nearby towns are alarmed at the independent scheme of their farmer customers"
 The two experts in entomology of the University of California who have been Investigating the insect pests of Placer and Los Angeles counties have made their reports. Warren T. Clark dealt with the peach worm problem in Placer county at Newcastle and dis covered spray that effectually de- stroyed the pest, the loss never exceed ing per cent where the spray was used at the right time, whereas the loss was 60 per cent where the spray was not used. William H. Volck in- vestigated the ravages of the red spider of Los Angeles county in the San Gabriel valley for three months and found that a cheap sulphate of potash wash reduced the number of spiders rapidly, and he is now occupied with the problem of destroying the eggs of this pestiferous spider.
 Although cattle receipts at all east ern markets for the expired portion of the year show heavy decrease as compared with the same period in 1901, this condition cannot long pre- vail, says Field and Farm. Receipts at this period year ago were abnor- nal owing to the prevailing drouth. Later, when the western range men began to look marketward, they found glut in every quarter, owing to scarcity of feed and water in the corn belt, and turned their stock back into the range. Fortune favored them, as the winter was midland stock thrived. Losses were few, and from this time on plentiful supply will go forward. It is entirely within the range of prob- ability that before Setember 30, 1902, the deficit in cattle receipts compared with 1901 will have been wiped out.

Premnture Anxiety.

"a long time ago, when trains trav-
eled more slowly than they do now and
way trains were more common, two
high railway officials got on a train at
Philadelphia, intending to ride out
about thirty miles," said an old rail
road conductor "They had a lot TO
say to each other, and the train, which
stepped at every woodpile, worried
them a good deal.
"A man recently landed got aboard
few miles out and added to their
annoyance by his persistence in asking
the name of every station that the
train stopped at. After they had po-
litely answered his questions for a
dozen stations or so one Of them be-
came angry and said TO him:

One of the strangest and most un-
expected of the uses to which we could
imagine a leg as being put is that of
an organ of hearing. Yet such seems
TO be one at least of the functions of
the fore legs in the cricket. on the
outer side of the tibia a small oval
space may be seen, in which the strong
armature which covers the rest of the
body is reduced to a thin and mem
branous condition, making thus a sort
of window or drumhead. Communi-

doubted therefore that the whole ap-
paratus constitutes an auditory organ.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of n very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught know, at other
points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun-
died down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line of
breakers. Old fishhCuses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavillons.
aud the sea costumes were those Of
last years village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man, in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles, slipped his wrist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
lifeline and, wading out, kept it as taut
as circumstances permitted, while the
women and children hung TO it and
reveled and wallOwed and shrieked, re.
joicing in their Saturday tub."-Out-
