The Idaho Recorder Of Salmon has
changed from a weekly to a semi
weekly issue, and the first number,
which is just TO hand, is one Of the

scription of the Salmon route 10 the
Thunder mountain country. and gives
data as to the mines of that.region

The lath and the name in lead pencil is used as usual, but over the name is fastened a bit of wood. as shown in the cut, to protect the marking from the weather. A thin strip of wood, few small screws and jackknife are all that are needed, and a dozen of such markers can be prepared in a few moments.-H. C. West. in Farm and Home.

Death to CaterpiIIar..

Caterpillar nests or tents are yet allowed to disfigure many of our fruit trees. We who spray with Bordeaux mixture and arsenites have no trouble from leaf-eaters on apple and pear trees.

It makes short work of them. Wild cherry trees are their favorite breeding places, and should be cut out of all the fence rows.-Troy (N. Y.) Times.

 ing according to size is distinct ad- vantage, because it frequently hap pens that one consumer desires a small size while another prefers a larger grade. The work of grading and packing can be done best on a properly constructed grading table in the packing house or in a shaded ccrner of the field. The packing house is the best place, however.
 In western New York there are three types of ckages-12-pound baskets, bushel baskets and crates. The 12-pound basket usually holds 16 melons. the bushel basket and the crate hold from 30 to 4S melons each. A favorite size of the crate is by II by 22 inches. Baskets are neat and easily handled, but are not suitable for shipping fruit to distant markets. For long-distance shipment the crate is undoubtedly the best package. economy of space and ease of handling considered. In western New York most of the prod uct is shipped by canal boat. Net ted Gem packs nicely in 12-pound bas- kets, while the larger varieties, like Surprise, are more conveniently hand led in bushel baskets. 1t is doubt full, however, if growers could af- ford to use this package if shipped by railway.-J. Craig, New York Sta f;OD

THE OSAGE ORANGE.
.t Furnishes Excellent Timber for Posts, Railroad Ties and Pur-
 poses of Like Nature.

Osage orange is undoubtedly the very lest timber for posts, wagon timber, railroad ties and for all pur- poses where the timber is exposed to the weather.
 The sap of this rema rkab timber is an ely caou!chouc, which renders the wood impervious to liquids and gases and not readily affected by ex- posture to air, acids and alkalies. Osage orange grows rapidly in the low lands of the Missouri and Missis- sippi and their tributaries as far north as latitude 42 degrees, perhaps. It is in it's glory in the latitude of St. Louis and farther south.
 I had plants to grow 12 feet the first year from seed and could not use the plants, they being too large to sell. In three years they make line everlasting fence posts. In eight or ten years they make railroad ties. When one post gets large enough. cut it off and another tree will sprout from the stump and make straight sprout of 20 to 25 feet high so you have an everlasting patch of trees and everlasting wood in the trees.
 Don't plant your patch on poor ground; you will be disappointed if you do.
 There are many thousands of miles of railroads and new railroads are being built-they all need ties. no substitute will ever take their place.
 The islands in the Missouri river will grow fine posts. In 1874 Judge Miller, of Bluffton, and the writer were looking at fine lot, which grew from where some one had set a short hedge on an island. I think we calculated that. 2,00o good posts could be grown on an acre of island land in three years, and then contin- ued ;ndefinitely.-Julian Bagby, in Rural World.

Sure Cure for Blues.

Have you a dark blue pain in the small of the back, do you experience hot flashe. :, are the whites of your eyes turning yci. low, with dark blue rings under them. do you experience loss of appetite, have lose of memory when your wife asks you to order the groceries, are you startled out of your sleep by dreams of being dragged through eight yards of lead pipe by seven baldheaded angels? If so, 1t is not safe to neglect this condition, or it will grow on you. Get out and hitch onto few of the weeds in the garden or on the empty lot, and lift them out before breakfast Take an old siding and slap the rugs few times that are left out on the line.

THE MUSKMELoN CROP.
Proper Grading and Packing Add Very Much to the Profit to He
 Derived from It.

To know just when to pick musk melon is matter of judgment, ac- quired only by practical acquaint- ance with melons. Each variety has it's characteristic coloring when ripe. The stem end colors and softens
 first. This part furnishes the signal for picking. The melon must be picked before it has softened at this critical point. It is not less impor
 tant to grade melons than peaches or apples, and no progressive fruit grower dreams of marketing these fruits without grading them. Grad

It Pays to Keep Accounts.

Hoard's Dairyman has found that there are herds of dairy cows, owned by patrons of Wisconsin creameries, that with good care produce from S1. 50 to $2.13 worth of milk for every dollars worth of feed consumed. Other herds produce less than this; in a few cases $1 worth of feed pro- ducing only 93 cents worth of milk. Either the care or the COW was not what it ought to be in these latter cases. We have an idea that the cow has much to do with it. Do you know what kind of a COW you keep?

The south Is Waking Up.

Stock growing is certain to become one of the leading industries of the south. The progress that has re- gently been made in this direction has demonstrated that the southern farmer is waking up to the possibil- ities that can be achieved in this di- rection. The abundance of water and grasses, the mild winter season, and the short season in which stock have to be fed, make combination of advantages that cannot be sur passed anywhere in the world.-Cot- ton and Farm Journal.

THE FARMERS CLOTHES.
They should Re Neat and We'll Fit- ting and Worn with the Man.
 ners of n Gentleman.

In this day of agricultural colleges
 and agricultural journalism, ready ac-
 cess to high-class literature, tele-
 phones, free delivery of mail and elec-
 tric railways, when the farmer is no
 longer isolated and uneducated but a
 man learned in the sciences, in art and
 literature, and embfacing in his voca-
 tion the best that is in botany, chem
 istry, geology and natural philosophy.
 the contempt sometimes shown the countryman certainly proves that
 there is something out of joint.
 The cause of this attitude must lie in the oddness of wearing apparel or
 general carelessness or utter disre-
 gard of personal appearance displayed
 by many a farmer when he visits the metropolitan center. It is not expen- sive clothing that marks a we'll dressed man, be he from country or city, but care, neatness and cleanliness and avoiding of oddity in personal ap- pearance. There are no successful farmers who cannot afford to wear as good clothes as nine-tenths of the city men.
 The average farmer cannot follow all the latest styles, but he need not be aslouchy, gawking of human ity. bringing down contempt not only on himself, but on farmers as a class. It is hard for a farmer to appear any thing but farmer, do the best he can, but this fact need not worry him any if he will only strive to bring his call ing to the point where it will be recog- nized as it is. When he is at work on his farm, when he goes to the home village or town market, and when he hauls his produce along the highway, no matter how he is dressed, the farm- CT is not looked upon with disfavor by any well-bred persons; he is then mere ly at work and is respected by those with whom he comes in contact the same as any other good, honest work ingman is; but when he lays aside his affairs of the farm and goes into the city on business or pleasure it is un- doubtedly duty he owes to his voca- tion and to his fellow men to present as good an appearance as his means will admit. If he is to be respected by those who have no other means of estimating him, meeting him but cas- ually as they do, than by his personal appearance and manner, he must pay some attention to attire, cleanliness and manners. He must not neglect those little courtesies that mark prop CT consideration of others, and that belong to the well-bred man. He must not be odd, nor rude, nor uncouth. Good clothes and good manners will obliterate self-consciousness which makes one awkward and i'll at ease in the presence of others, and will de- velop that proper amount of self esteem which makes man scorn to be odd or untidy or uncouth, and which will enable him to easily adapt him. self with quiet imperturbed demeanor to his surroundings, however polished and cultured. It is easier to say this than to do it, but like all character it must be worked for with the hardest of effort and most constant practice.-J. c. Allshouse, in Ohio Farmer.

ALTERNATING FISHES.
Dead, They Seem, to Some Aquarium Vlsltors-Case of the Sea Turtles.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 This is the time of year when visitors not familiar with the habits of fishes are likely to tell the attendants at the Aqua rum that they think that certain fishes | are dead. This belief is prompted by tho absolute motionlessness of the fishes even under long observation. But these visitors are easily reassur- ed. It Is explained to them that this Is the season of these fishes Information when in nature they would bury them
 selves in the mud. They can't give them mud at the Aquarium very well, because if they did 1t would choke up the water pipes. And so the fishes can't bury them. selves here. but they lie motionless on the
 bottom Of the tank; in the case of some of these fishes, huddled together in over tapping masses, as though to keep warm
 Take, for instance, the big Mississippi River catfish, now dormant. One might stands for weeks, day and night, in front of its tank and never see 1t owe a mus cle; but the fish Is all right, for all that; and some time along in the spring or early in the summer 1t will wake up sTme fine morning and want its break fast in a hurry.
 Another thing that people call attention to, and that disturbs some gentle-heart- ed folk is that the smaller sea tur- tles m tneir division or the pool in which the big logserheads live. have no place where they can climb out of water. if they should want to. But as a matter ct fact they don't want any such place.
 Every turtle in the Aquarium that lives more or less on land. in nature, has here something on which to set foot; float ing island of cork to climb out on, or stumps, or stones, or a sandy. beach in its tank, to which 1t can make its way out of water at pleasure But the sea tur- ties don't want such things.
 In nature they might keep the sea and keep afloat for weeks or months at a time, coming ashore only when they de- posted their eggs. So these turtles don't suffer here for lack of something they never had before they came.
 But anyhow once day the turtles do find themselves on solid ground for once day the pool is drained to be cleaned: and then, pending its filling again, these sea turtles are out of water on the firm foundation of the bottom of the pool, So that, though they have no resting place, as such. they are. after all, out of water here moro than they would be fin nature
