oreeon's Vigorous Old Man.

A well-known citizen Of II years,
who had been out in the country, and
had large paper sack of mushrooms
In his hand, which he had gathered
himself, was standing at the corner
of Fifth and Morrison streets, Satur-
day afternoon, waiting for car. An
other old-time citizen, who will be 80
in few months, came to the same cor
ner to wait for the same car. The man
with the mushrooms exhibited them
proudly, and said that they were to
be put up in glass, adding that
he had bought about 100 pounds
in the market, which was al
ready put up, but 1t was diff
cut to find really fresh ones. He then
asked his friend Of 791s: where
have you been lately? l haven't seen
you for a week or So" II have been
busy for a week." was the answer
Il had IL cords of wood to put in, and
1t was so hard to find anyone to do it,
l concluded to put it in myself" did
you wheel it in In a wheelbarrow?"
asked n. mo, indeed; had to carry
it up flight of IL steps, two or three
sticks at time. got in six cords in
three days and finished the other six
this afternoon, and so had the after
noon to come down town" AS they
boarded the car which came up a
stranger, who had overheard their
conversation, remarked: "By lingo!
they raise pretty husky old men here
In Oregon"

1t Is safe to say that no farmer can
buy COW without risk of loss, as she
may be OF spiteful disposition, may
bring disease on the farm, may yield
but little or give inferior milk and
may prove Improbable from several
causes. To sell her may be but to get
another no better. The presence of
two or three inferior cows in herd
affects the average profit of the whole.
No dairyman can buy COW and know
what she is worth until he has tested
her. 1t is impossible for him to know
how long she will keep up her flow
of milk, even If she is apparently n
good animal. Such cows will fall Off
before they are eight months in milk.
ing, and when one becomes dry an
other must be procured in her place.
When a heifer is raised and her sire
and dam are known, the dairyman
can depend upon it, If she is from good
stock, that she will prove better than
the best unknown cow that can be
purchased, as 1t Is seldom that the
best cows are offered for sale. Sue
cess in the dairying can only be guar.
anteed when the dairyman pays some
attention to breeds.

Travelling Libraries In Ohio.

Ohio clubwomen, already famous for
travelling libraries, are congratulating
themselves that $4,000 has been ap-
propriated for the furtherance of work
the coming year. This encouraging re-
port will be made at the state conven-
tion at Cleveland this month, in addi-
tion to the announcement that no less
than 900 travelling libraries are now in
circulation. This splendid record is
largely due to the first chairman of
the library extension committee of the
Ohio Federation, Mrs. Edward L..
Buchwalter, of Springfield. Through
the activities of this committee the
state library commission was organ
ized, the two cooperating at every
step. Two-thirds of the resulting 900
travelling libraries are used in the
women's clubs throughout Ohio These
books a club may keep for one year,
If it wishes, and in several instances
the commission has consulted individ-
ual clubs as to the new books which
will best serve their purposes. Now
that clubwomen's interests are so care
fully consulted, and the appropriation
has been increased, through their de-
mands to the present magnificent sum,
the Ohio clubwomen have another as
piration. 1t is to push the travelling
library into the country districts, and
to this end they would have opened
on Sunday every schoolhouse, with it's
rows of books. In this way the title
travelling library might develop into a
large and permanent library at the
crossroads.

Lime and Plaster.

Lime dissolves best in cold water.
1t should be on the ground when the
winter SHOWS melt and at the time Of
the spring rains. If spread in winter
it interferes with other farm work
but little. Lime does the most good
on moist. clayey land. 1t is a substi
tute to some extent for draining, for
Its action on wet, spongy pastures that
incline to mass is to make the surface
lighter and more porous. 1t benefits
most soils, but the action Of lime on
sand is less apparent. AS clover is a
lime plant, 1t is applied with great
profit to land just before seeding down.
1t is doubtful whether more than fifty
bushels to the acre is distinctly bene-
fetal, though many farmers apply one
hundred. Plaster is as useful as lime.
but 1t acts in different way and with
less regularity. A top-dressing of pas
ter on clover In the spring when 1t Is
three or four inches high has on thou
sands Of farms been found great
help. The use and profit Of sowing
plaster Is question that each farmer
must settle for himself by trial.-E. NJ.
Hess, in The Epitomist.

SimpIe Winter Feeding.

To feed mash to chickens requires
a great amount of time, and leaving
this important item out of the question
I can get more eggs with dry grain.
In self-feeding feed box I keep
constant supply Of wheat, oats and
whole corn in about equal parts, in
cold weather, leaving out corn in
warm weather. Buckwheat and bar
ley may be added to advantage il not
too expensive. Keep on hand con-
slant supply of oyster shells. grit and
fresh water, also one or, more cab
bages, suspended with string from
ceiling just within reach. Some form
of meat must be provided in moderate
quantities two or three times week.
Glover, if Of good quality, might be
substituted for the cabbage. A liberal
supply of dust in large fiat box is
important for biddy's health, also a
good clean litter to scratch in.-Fred
r. Trask, in American Agriculturist.

Grade For Irrigation bitches,

"A good rule is to get as much grade
as possible consistent with preserva-
ton of the bitches. In no case must
the velocity be sufficient to cause de-
structive erosion. Some soils being te-
1acious will Withstand much more
water pressure than others. This must
be carefully considered when the
amount of water needed for special
tract Of land is being figured on. Diff
serent forms of bitches and varying
grades adapted to the various soils are
possible. For example, two and half
cubic feet of water a second is deliv-
cred by ditch three feet wide on top.
two at bottom, one foot deep. with a
grade of four feet to the mile. The
same amount is carried by q ditch
four and half feet wide at top. three
at bottom, one and half feet deep
and with grade Of six inches to the
mile. In soil which washes easily
the latter is the kind to build.

In the Stone Age.

Near NARROW, England, has been
discovered quarry whence men Of the
stone age got flints to make their
knives and weapons. In it was found,
among other relics of the old workers,
a pick of stag's antlers, used by the
prehistoric miner in making his gal
lery. The site was called locally
"Grimes's graves" and consisted of
number of holes or pits sunk in the
ground. 1t was found that these
Norfolk pits were made by miners in
search of clear and large flints, the
ready-made material for cutlery chip
ped from stone. These ancient workers
had quite as keen an instinct for find
ing the best bed Of flint as modern
prospector has for bed of gold-bear-
Ing. quartz. and somehow found
out that about thirty feet below the
surface there was bed Of the largest
siliclous pebbles In England. They
therefore sunk the graves" and ran
galleries from them. In these CALLER
les were found not only the flints they
had dug but rough lamps, cut in chalk,
for them to see by and the picks which
they had used to work with. The imple-
ments were all made of deer's horn,
and 1t was noted that these old antler
tools are exactly the same shape as
the picks of wood and iron used in the
flint quarrles of England to-day.

The Regulation of Clocks.

The remarkable pendulum expert
ment in the Pantheon at Paris to
prove the rotation of the earth, strik-
ingly illustrates the majestic uses of
the familiar clock-maker's device. 1t
seems almost impossible Of belief, in
an age of well-regulated watches,
that the clocks of Galileo's time
could not be kept going at uniform
speed. Clocks went by means Of a
dragging weight, but the pendulum
had not been Thought of as regu-
lator. 1t occurred to Calico to make
a clock with the pendulum only, but
of course. the work of turning the
wheels stopped it. 1t was left to
Huygens, in 1856, IA years after the
great astronomers death, to COM
bine the pendulum with the dragging
weight and thus solve the problem
of reckoning astronomical time with
exactitude.
1t is proposed to cut a railway tlln-
mel through the mountain known as
the Faucille, in the Jura Alps, and
so shorten the journey between Paris
and Switzerland by two and half
hours.

The Original Caribs.

Very mysterious is the origin Of the
fierce savage, now almost extinct, who
were in possession of the Caribs, the
smaller West Indian islands, when the
white man discovered them. They
showed distinct Mongolian character
and 1t would be hard to distinguish a
Carib infant from a Chinese child.
Twenty years ago Chinaman who had
drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs
to be his own people and married
pure-bred Carib woman. The resultant
child showed no deviation from the
native type. The Caribs have dropped
their man-eating ways; but in the
sixteenth century they secured the
Spanish main in search of human food
and from Porto Rico alone are said
to have taken more than 5000 men to
be eaten. Though Spaniards, French
men, Dutchmen, negroes or Arrowaks
were all meat to them, the Caribs
seem to have shown an interesting
preference for certain nationalities.
Davis says in his History of the Ca
ribby Isands," that "the Caribbeans
have tasted OF all the nations that fire.
quented them, and affirm that the
French are the most delicate and the
Spaniards are hardest Of digestion"
Laborde in one of his jaunts in St. Vim
cent overlook on the road a communi-
cative Carib who was beguiling the
tedium of his journey by gnawing at
the remains of boiled human foot.
This man ate Arrowaks only. Chris
tians," he said, gave him indiges-
ton"

POLICE DOGS IN GHENT.
Trained coIlies Supplant officers and
Chase Burglars.

The distinction of the bloodhound of
the Southern and Western states as
being the ony dog policemen in the
world is gone. The city Of Ghent has
recently supplemented its regular po-
lice force in the suburbs by corps Of
trained collies, whose duty it is to run
down burglars and other evildoers
who might prove too swift for capture
by the human custodians of the peace.
The step has been taken by the Ghent
commissioners of police as the result
Of an alarming increase in burglary,
robbery, with violence, and other
crimes committed by night in the su-
burbs. The vigilance Of the police
proved unequal to cope with the evil,
although their numbers were consider
ably augmented. The police dogs are
of the breed of Swiss-Belgian sheep
dogs, and are trained most carefully.
They accompany the policemen on
their nightly rounds, and not only pro-
tect them from being attacked by sur
prise, but by the quickness of their
instinct in scenting the preseh~e of
men they make it impossible for any
evil-doer to lurk in the darkest corner
undetected. Great precautson, how
ever, is taken that the dogs may do as
little harm as possible, and to this end
their management and diet is carefully
regulated. They are kept in kennels
which are cleaned daily and disinfected
weekly, and they are frequently ex-
amined by veterinary surgeon. That
the pangs Of hunger may not tempt
them to take a slice out of any Of
their victims, they are given two good
meals day, one at 1890 and the other
at Z o'clock, each consisting of bread,
rice and meat, and at midnight they
are given a biscuit for supper. When
on duty each dog is armed with
spiked collar, and bears medal with
number to show it's identity.
