Lum Der for Philippines.

SEATTLE, Nov. 17-Bids for the
transportation OF 100000 feet OF lum-
Der to the Philippines were opened to-
day, and but three offers were received.
The figures of the two steamships are
the same, but strange to say, the bid
for carrying the lumber on schooners is
higher. Notwithstanding the fact that
the method Of transportation is much
slower.
James Laidlaw offers to carry no less
than 100000 feet of lumber on the
steamer Yeddo at $l1.50 per 1000 the
ship to be available January 10. bod
well & Company offer the ship Ming
chow to carry 100000 feet at s1l.5O
the ship to be ready January rs, while
the Globe Navigation Company offers
to carry the lumber on two schooners
at Sl2 per 900.

The Transit at Port Townsend.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 16-The
first tidings of disaster caused by the
recent southeast and southwest gales
along the Washington and British
Columbia coast are brought by Captain
Paulsen, of the four-masted schooner
Transit, which reached port Saturday
evening after a fair passage of sixteen
days from Hilo. Evidence that some
undertaken craft had jettisoned her
deckload was apparent when on Friday
last the Transit passed through an inn
mense quantity of new lumber, thirty
miles w. $, W., of Tatoosh Island. The
Transit is disengaged and will pay off
her crew and lay up in the bay pending

Selecting the PuIIets.

AS your young stock grows, select
from all the broods the very finest,
strongest and most vigorous pullets to
keep for winter layers. Size, strength
and vigor have so much to do with egg
production that one should study this
continually in the flock and train the
eye to see the best egg producers while
yet undeveloped Save all such for
your own use; never part with them
unless you have more than you need.
After they are selected keep them well
under your own eye and select from
all these the very best egg producers
to lay the eggs from which you will
grow your future stock, and gradually
in this way you will gain in egg pro-
duction. The best hens are the ones
that lay the largest number of eggs
that are of fair size, good form and
nicely finished. Such eggs sell the
best, usually produce the best and
have the best value in the market

ESTABLISHING TIMOTHY.

Some Methods of Getting Good
Stand On Heavy Dat Stubble.
There are number of ways in which
heavy oat stubble land could be treat
ed so as to insure stand of timothy,
and of these the Iowa Homestead says:
Possibly one of the best methods would
be to SOW crop of winter wheat this
fall and seed down to timothy either
early in the fall or spring as soon
as the frost is out.
In case this plan is adopted the oat
stubble should be plowed just as soon
as possible and afterward well worked
down in order to make the seed bed
firm. Should the rainfall be light dur
ing the next few weeks, it might be adj
visable to harrow the surface at inter
walls of one week or ten days in order
to conserve the moisture that is al
ready in the soil. This is essential in
order to insure rapid termination after
wheat is sown, The time of seeding
will vary considerably with the lati-
tude, although the custom established
i'll a community will be a sufficient
guide in this matter. If timothy is
known to live over winter the first
year, it is better to sow at the time of
seeding wheat, although if there is
any likelihood that it will be winter
killed it is better to delay seeding until
spring.
Another plan by which timothy
meadow could be established would be
to pillow the stubble this fall and pre-
pare a seed bed thoroughly next spring,
at which time an early oat or barley
may be seeded as nurse crop, along
with ten or twelve pounds of timothy
seed. The cereal crop should not be
seeded heavily. as it will be more liable
to choke out the new seeding.
One of the essentials in getting a
stand of any kind of grass is to insure
a perfect covering of the seed. 1t is
great mistake to SOW grain with drill
and allow the timothy seed to be scat
tered over the surface afterward with
out covering this up with a harrow,
roller or some form of surface imple-
ment.
Sometimes it is possible to obtain a
good stand of timothy without the use
Of any nurse crop whatever In this
case the soil should be plowed this fall
so that u thorough seed bed may be
prepared early in the spring. at which
time the timothy should be sown.

stalk. From four to six of the most
desirable of these which are well dis
trihuted around the trunk are allowed
to grow and the remainder pinched Off
In late August or early September the
tops of these branches are cut off In
order to stop growth and harden them
up. Suckers are removed as soon as
they appear. At the end of the first
year In the orchard the tree will have
an appearance similar to that in the
figure.
At the opening of the second spring
all the branches are cut back to
length Of six to eighteen inches, de-
pending on the vigor of the tree-the
weaker the tree the more closely it Is
shortened. From one to three new
branches, but preferably two, are al
lowed to grow ON each primary branch,
and these are handled in the same man
ner as the primary branches were the
preceding summer. Thus treated the
tree is usually in bearing condition at
the end of the second year and should
give moderate crop of fruit the
third year. According to e. S. Golf
of the Wisconsin station, the trees of
the American varieties seem to re-
quire more pruning than those of the
European or Japanese varieties.

HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS.

Planting The, ~4uy BE Done In Late
August !, carly September.
It seems strange that more herba-
ceous plants are not planted during the
latter half of August and the first half
of September. All the spring and early
summer Towering species and varie-
ties, with very few exceptions, plant
well at this time of year and make
fine show of bloom the next towering
season. If the planting is put off until
spring and it happens to be dry, the
show is next to nothing in comparison.
If the place for planting happens to
be where water cannot be given freely,
it is better to wait until the first soak
ing rain after Aug. 10. If, however,
water can be given freely, any time
after Aug. / is good.
1t is not, however, advisable to plant
anything with evergreen foliage much
after Sept. 10, as such plants do not
bear covering until the ground is
frozen solid and would not make
enough root to prevent heaying If
few hard frosts should come early and
be followed by mild weather.
1t is safe to cover everything about
the end of December or before il the
ground is frozen solid We generally
plant the most dormant plants first,
such as the phloxes and peonies, and
leave those with evergreen foliage,
such as Phlox subulata, Iberis corre@'
folia and Lychnis fios cuculi, till last.
When we can, we cover the laet men,
toned families with boards / ed to-
gether. Evergreen boughs and long
straw are also good The covering Of
such hardy plants as the phloxes and
peonies is only absolutely necessary
with fresh planted stock, but we find
Iberis correefolia and Lychnis flos
cuculi are better covered.
For August and early September
planting we can recommend the fol-
lowing: Achilleas, alyssums, anchusas,
anemones, anthemises, aquileglas, ar
merias, campanulas, centaureas, ceras-
tiums, coreopsises, delphiniums, dian
thuses, dicentras, gypsophilas, Heleni-
UNI boulanderii, hemerocallises, ibe-
rises, lupinuses, lychnises, Mertensia
virginia., monardas, myosotises, 9no-
theras. papavers, pentstemons, phloxes.
primulas, pyrethrums, Spiraa tilipen-
dula and Viola cornuta. There are
many others, but those mentioned are
the most in demand and will make a
good show from spring until the end of
June or middle of July, says Massa-
chusetts correspondent in Gardening.

There is no branch of farm opera
tons that can be permanently and
proftably improved more easily and
at less cost than the poultry yards. A
dollar or two invested in eggs of good
breeds of fowls will bring back many
times the investment within a year or
two. If you want to improve your
poultry, you can do it quickly. cheaply
and with but little risk.
Breeders have learned that it pays
to send out no eggs except from good
stock. A sitting or two is all that is
needed for a good start. A very few
dollars spent for good eggs means
nice flock of fowls in one year, when
you may be in a position to sell to
your neighbors at good big prices

The Cow Walks Through and Leaves

When cattle are running at large In

them to rid themselves of the Insect
pests which annoy them. but when the
animals are tied In the stable there is
little chance to swing the head around
to dislodge the flies from the forward
quarters, and so the troublesome pests
are free to torture the animal at will.

be at any rate. The shed has at its
inner end q series of brushes SO ar
ranged as to leave an oblong opening

that the flies may be brushed off as the

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.
How They should BE Rolled and
Drained.

How They Should BE Rolled and
Drained.
A handsome umbrella is well worth
taking care Of, and to do this requires
a little thought and good Judgment,
says the Philadelphia Record. In roll
ing an umbrella instead of twisting
with handle take hold of it just above
the points of the cover ribs. These
points naturally lie evenly around the
stick. Keep hold of these, pressing
them tightly against the stick, and
then roll up the cover. Holding the
ribs prevents them from getting twist
ed out of place or bending out of shape.
Then the silk is bound to fold evenly
and roll smooth and tight.
When an umbrella has been out in a
rain, it should be placed to drain i'm
mediately upon your return to the
house, and it should be drained in the
position in which one carries an UNI
brella. To do this place the handle of
the umbrella on a small stand that will
not retain the drippings, and there let
it remain until thoroughly dry. If
pldCGu ul)SlUc uONu, Tie LlOlStuIc Will
soak into the leather at the top and
will gradually tend to rot it out, so the
life of the umbrella will be greatly
shortened.
Many persons are extremely fond Of
having handsome handles for their
umbrellas, and this very pleasant fad
may be carried out without very great
expense. Handsome handles may be
purchased separate from the umbrella
and may be adjusted without trouble,
provided care is taken when selecting
the handles to secure those of SINH
lar make to the umbrella. In some UNI
brellas the screw is fastened to the
stick; in others the stick has a hollow
place for the reception of the screw.
In every case it is wise to select an
umbrella from which the handle may
be removed, as then the umbrella may
be easily packed if necessary in a
much smaller space than when the
handle is stationary.

DUCK RAISING.
A Profitable business If Conducted
nm Correct Lines

Profitable business If Conducted
on Correct Lines.
Ducks are not as good foragers as
hens nor such prolific layers. Unless
fed and sold carefully they are not
very profitable. Owing to the artificial
conditions under which the Pezins are
reared they are powerless to provide
themselves with the kind Of food and
quarters which their instincts call for
They have to eat what is provided and
sleep where they are put. The food,
therefore, must be such as will give
best results and the sleeping room
kept clean, dry and well ventilated,
for, while ducks thrive in moist sand
and in the water at day, they will not
stand damp, dirt or poor ventilation at
night; also they require shelter from
the sun. If exposed to its direct rays,
they become blind, lose appetite and
are very difficult to fatten. The small
birds have vertigo and frequently die.
At Clovernook duck ranch they train
hop vines into arbors over the yards.
The vines grow forty feet in a short
time, make a cool, dense shade and
are very beautiful, especially when in
bloom; also the giant Russian sunfow-
er is grown in lanes and hedges. 1t
quickly attains a tropical luXuriance
and is especially satisfactory where
yards are often changed. Fruit trees
and grapeyines also throw a fine shad-
ow. 1t is well to plant an occasional
crop on the duck grounds. Last year
they cut four heavy growths of clover
from yard thus seeded down.
Now as to care and food, there is
no fowl that responds so promptly to
good care and food as does the Pekin
duck nor any bird whose size and egg
production are so completely under
human control. The breeding flock re-
range" as circumstances will admit,
and where streams. lakes or ponds are
available the ducks enjoy a specially
happy time. When they do not have
them, they grub around and are fairly
well contented, but their grimy feath-
ers contrast unfavorably with the milk
white plumage of their more favored
sisters. 1t is a pathetic, though inter
esting, sight to watch birds that have
never seen water outside their drink
ing fountains go through all the mo
tons of taking a bath, even to the
graceful diving movements and the
throwing of spray from head and
wings.-Country Life in America.
