They Cook Their Shoes.

"The wise man takes proper care
of his shoes when there is snow on
the ground" said Broadway retailer
who was asked why pair of patent
feathers bought within week had lost
their shape. when a man, or wo
man either, for that matter, who has
been walking in the snow gets home
with damp shoes almost the first
thought is to dry them as quickly as
possible. They are put under the
stove or on the steam radiator. One
customer told me his wife dried his
shoes in the oven. This is folly.
eff wet shoes are dried too quickly
the leather will shrink and rot, no
matter how expensive the make. In
winter time particularly shoes should
be dried slowly and given a rest. If
a person has two pairs of shoes and
lets one pair stay on the trees when
not worn each pair will last at least
twice as long. "-New York Press.

A Wonderful Echo.

An ordinary echo is a curious thing;
but, according to the statements Of a
Frenchman at a watering place in the
Pyrenees, one echo on the Franco
Prussian frontier is far from the ordi-
nary. las soon as you have spoken, "
said the Frenchman, who had secured
an audience of wide-eyed tourists,
you hear distinctly the voice leap
from rock to rock, from precipice to
precipice, aud as soon as it has passed
the frontier it assumes the Spanish
tonguev'-The Argonaut.

VARIETIES IN STORAGE.


The grower or buyer is advised in
a recent bulletin of the New York
Experiment Station to learn what va
rieties are suitable for storage, what
conditions must be provided to secure
the best and most economical man
agemeIt of the stored fruit, and at
what time and under what conditions
the different varieties must be put
on the market. Apples are exceed
ingly variable in length of Keeping.
Early Harvest often becomes too ripe
and mealy for choice eating while
still upon the tree; while Schodack,
in ordinary storage, may keep well
until midsummer of the next year.
They also vary in behavior in stor-
age, some varieties sca]ding, shrink
ing, losing flavor and becoming dull
colored and unattractive, while 9TH
ers, after six months keeping, come
out smooth, bright, fragrant and
crisp. These variations in behavior
are to a great extent varietal char
acteristics; yet the same variety
grown upon sand or upon clay, grown
in the North or in the South, grown
in a wet season or dry one, may
show very striking differences.
The problem of selecting varieties
and storing them properly is there
fore, as the author of the bulletin as
serts, complex one, and requires
careful study. The efficiency Of the
different systems Of storage differs
greatly with different varieties. but
in general storage with low tempera-
ture secured by the use of ice extends
the keeping period from one to four
months beyond the limit in ordinary
storage, and chemical cold storage
prolongs the life of the variety at
least half a month-often much long
er-beyond the life under ice.-The
American Cultivator.

FArTENING AND MARKETING.

There is little use in raising flock
Of birds and then turn them on on
the market when they are poor. The
quality is not only poor but the profit
is small. A bird that is poor and
AID weighs three pounds ought to be
made to weigh at least five pounds
when fat. This would make a gain
of two pounds while the price per
pound ought to be from ten to twenty
per cent. higher. 1t is true that some
grocers make no difference in the
price. This is not fair for the man
who brings in good poultry, nor will
it encourage his customers to bring
fine stock. There is difference no
ticed when the bird is placed upon
the table. A fat bird is worth from
three to four times as much as
poor one. If your grocer Will not
pay you more for nice fat birds, just
sell to the consumer yourself and IL
will not take long to get your Gus
toners educated to demanding good
poultry, and they will be willing 10
pay you a good price to get what they
can depend upon being fat.
Separate those you intend to tat
ten from the rest of the flock so you
can give them fattening food. II
would be well to put them in small
pen so they cannot exercise TOO
much. They should have all they can
eat, but nothing should set very long
In their pen as 1t will sour and do
more damage than good. 1t would
be well to have the grain where they
can have it all the time as 1t will not
spoil very readily. Corn is one or
the very best fattening feeds that
you can get 1t should not be fed
alone however. Give them some ground
meat or cut green bone if possible.
They will greatly relish some green
food such as cabbage, turnips OF
small potatoes. A little parched
corn will help to prevent indigestion.
Be sure they have plenty of grit for
that Is the teeth of the bird. The glz-
gard will have lot of work to do and
it needs the very sharpest of grit. III
sand is used it should have sharp
edges to work best. The round grains
do very little good as grinders You
cannot give them too much milk as
long as it is not sour. They should
have oats for a change.
AS soon as they are fat dispose OF
them. 1t will not pay to keep them
too long. If you do not sell your
birds to your grocer and wish to sell
to the consumer direct it would be
we'll to dress them. Tie string
round the feet of the fowl and hang
it to the ceiling of low shed. Then
take a sharp pointed knife and stab
the bird in the roof of the mouth.
This pierces the brain and prevents
sense of pain. 1t is known as the
French method of killing. Dry pick
at once, being careful to remove all
the pin-feathers and not tear the skin.
Remove the entrails and head and
put away to cool. Wrap each fowl in
paper and you are ready to market
them.-M. d. H. in Indiana Farmer.

Is Walla Walla to have profess

According to a dispatch from Butte

fans. At a meeting Of the Pacific
National held at Butte last Saturday
applications for membership in the
league were received from Walla
Walla and Great Falls, Montana, The
applications were tabled for time

directors.
If some enterprising baseball pro-

local fans are not aware of it, although
such a move would be gladly welcomed
by the Walla Walla baseball public
as it would insure ball Of a high or

the makeup of the Pacific National a
franchise would be a very valuable as
set. The league so far is composed OF
the following clubs: Salt Lake, Ogden
Boise, Butte, Spokane and Helena. 1t
is proposed to increase this number to
eight and include Walla Walla and
Spokane, providing the directors of
the Pacific National pass favorably
on the applications of the two cities.

holding their product for fancy prices
are now forced to compete with the
Colorado growers. AS a result pota-
toes have dropped in the Sound mar
ket from s21 a ton to ST and SIS and
the low rate of $40 ton is looked for
before the Colorado supply is ex-
hausted.
..Conservatively estimated there are
10000 sacks of potatoes in the hands
of the growers in the Walla Walla
valley" said y. H. Berney, of the
Walla Walla Produce company, this
morning. This is more than suffi-
Gent for all home consumption, but
the attractive prices being obtained
for homegrown tubers may result in
the Colorado product being shipped
here. In filing outside orders our COM
pany has been forced to purchase IL
carloads of Yakima potatoes, as we
could not pay the prices demanded
by Walla Walla growers and do BUSH
ness in competition with Yakima and
the Colorado growers. There has
been no concerted action toward pOol-
ing their products on the part of val
ley growers, but it is simply an in
clination to hold out for the highest
price it is possible to obtain. If the
Colorado growers see that Walla Wall
la is a good market, several shipments
may be made here, which will prob
ably result in the price of potatoes
dropping to a low figure
