Much Timber Uncut.

Across the great lakes in Canals
there lies one Of the worlds largest
reserves Of timber. In spite of the
tariff imposed much of this timber IS
to-day coming to the United States.
The forests of the Dominion are begin
ming to yield abundantly. More than
1OO,OOOOOO feet of pine sawlogs and
square timber, during recent season,
were cut upon territory held under
timber license from the crown.
Much of Canada's timber land has
not yet even been explored. In the
newly developed districts Of Algoma,
which are close to the great lakes, It
is estimated that there are more than
100000 cords Of spruce and pulp
wood, while in the districts of Thun-
der Bay and Rainy River there are
nearly 2OO,OOOOOO cords more. A belt
at least 5000 miles long is believed to
exist in Canada between Alaska and
the Atlantic.
1t has been estimated that, at the
present rate of cutting, the greatest
timber resources of the United States
those of the Pacific coast-will be
exhausted in less than half a century
The annual cut of shingles and lumber
in these regions is 4,500O00,OOO feet
The standing timber in Washington,
Oregon and northern California at
present is twice that of the original
timber lands Of the northern woods.

Of the door and to it fasten three pull

it will come down some four inches

rope to the ring in the hoop, run it
through the first and the third pulleys
and you have the raising and lowering

the ring at the bottom of the bag, the
one farthest away, run 1t through the
second ring and then up through the

Reform in Milking.

Additional knowledge and the ne
cessity for looking after every detail
in order that the dairy may be profit
able, has resulted in wonderful i'm
proyements in the care of COWS and
OF the milk afterward. Stringent
health laws Of the several cities have
forced the shiftless man to wake up
or else get out of business. There are
still many opportunities for improve
ment, particularly along the line Of
cleanliness of the COWS and of the sta
bles and milking along more scientific
lines. IL the dairyman was half as
clean as the milkman there would be
little to complain Of The milkman
must, Of course, keep his milk on ice,
but use an abundance of scalding
water in the washing of bottles and
utensils of tin, and further purify
them in the sun. L go further and
wash the little crates of wood in which
bottles of milk are carried, using hot
water and securing soap and give

Use the Whitewash.

A writer in a prominent poultry
journal says that the houses should be
whitewashed and cleaned twice a year
By cleaning it is assumed he means
everything removed and thoroughly
renovated. The poultryman who
works on this plan can not keep the
house free from vermin and disease
no matter how freely he may use in
sect powder, and how thoroughly the
embarrassing is done twice year.
Twenty years of experience in raising
poultry has taught the writer than no
house ought to go longer than two
months without being thoroughly
whitewashed in every nook and GREY
ice. In certain seasons the work is
done more frequently. All our houses
are built with scratching sheds SO it
is easy to do the embarrassing while
the hens are in the shed and then by
shutting them in the house whitewash
the scratching sheds. Insect powder
is, Of course, necessity, but less Of it
will be necessary if the houses are
kept clean by lime and disinfectant.

A Singular Fact ABOUT Gems.

1t IS rather singular fact that the
most precious gems are composed OF
the most common substances. The
diamond is the purest form OF carbon,
and is identical in composition with
ordinary charcoal without the impuri-
ties of the charcoal. The ruby, on the
other hand, is nearly pure alumina. a
substance found In profusion in every
clay bank. The scientific name for
crystallized alumina Is corundum, and
the gems comprehended under this des-
ignation are sometimes more valuable
than diamonds of the same weight.
The ruby. the sapphire. the oriental
emerald, topaz. amethyst, aqua marine.
chrysolite. the hyacinth and other pre-
cious stones are all alumina, the va
rieties of color being caused by inap+
preciabe quantities of metallic oxides.

Derrick for Stacking Hay.

Where there is much hay to stack
labor and time may be saved by using
a derrick. There are numerous plans
for building derrick, but none is sim
pier or cheaper than this design, which
is the invention of a farmer, who says:
l have tried to make a drawing of
a derrick that l put up to stack hay
with this year 1t works SO slick that
/ am sure it will please anybody. The
pole is 10 inches at the butt, at top

horses to them, as illustrated, and haul
it over to a new place; it works like a

gates of the exposition closed at | o'clock
Sunday morning, a total attendance of
o6,9GO for the day had been registered,
making grand total for the entire fair
period of 2.545, 800. The attendance for
the last day ranks third in point of num-

being the only greater days.
The exposition was entirely successful
In point Of attendance all predictions
were beaten. While the fair was well
patroniZed by the home people, great
throngs Of visitors from all parts of the
United States were constantly in the
city, often taxing the hotel capacity to
the limit Naturally the merchants are
well satisfied with the success of the ex-
position. Financially also the exposition
went beyond all expectations. 1t Is
known beyond doubt that the stock
holders Will receive dividend of at
least 80 per cent. while it is more than
possible that 40 per cent dividend will
be declared. This places Portland sec

$500000 of which $4,000 was expend-
