Vessels Log Was of.

Seattle, Wash, February 15.-The federal commissioners conducting the sec ond Valencia investigation are aiming to find out the manner in which the Valencia was handled when she struck the rocks. One of the facts brought out prominently was that the Valencia was in the habit of overrunning her course while en route north on former trips. and that her log was. as a rule, off about per cent. Boatswain Mccarthy testified that several of the vessels life preservers had been condemned when she left San Francisco. Captain Burwell, the member of the com mission. emphasized the fact that no att tempt was made to protect the boats for messengers.

THE MANURE SHREDDER.

From the Country Gentleman.
 1'here is no question of more vital in- p0rtanee to the farmer today than that of the proper distribution of his barn yard manure. In the early history of agrlcnlture in this country. little atten- tjon was paid to this subject. Lands we're normally so fertile and so cheap that barnyard manure was dumped in the streams and out-of-theway places where it could be most easily disposed of. but as the constant cropping of the soil decreased it's natural fertility, as the increase in the value of farm lands made greater returns necessary, so that the capital invested might be more re- munerative. the question of keeping up the fertility of the soil became vital one.
 In the old manner of hand distribution of manure, large portion of this valu- able fertilizer was wasted. It was spread too thcSly, and the uneven condition in which the field was loft frequently did more harm than good. Appreciating the crying need of the farmer for q more economical and satisfactory distribution of his manures. the Kemp & Barpee Man ufactiring company of Syracuse, \. r., in 1878 invented a manure spreader. It not only saved a large portion of the labor expended in the distribution of manure. but likewise made the manure cover from two 10 three times the terri tory as when spread by hand and be- cause of the thorough manner in which II was pulverzed and the evenness with which 1t was distributed, even under the lighter spreading largely increased crops were the result. Notwithstanding the value of the implement. this concern struggled along some twenty years with sales but slightly increasing from year

to year. trying to educate the farmer to the use of this new tool As Is usual ly the case, the farmer was skeptical He hesitated about buying The price impressed him as being high, and 1t was not until a few progressive farmers had purchased this machine, and their neigh bors had seen the vast improvement and increased profit in their farm operations that 1t came generally into vogue Up to 1897, at which time no competitors had appeared in opposition to the parent com pany, the sales of that company were only slightly in excess of 300 machines per year; but about that time the farmers began to wake up to the value of the manure spreader.
 In 1898, large additions were made to the factory Of the Kemp X Burpee Man utacturing company. These have continu- ed from year to year until today this company is one of the most prosperous and progressive concerns in the fnnple- ment business, and the demand for man ure spreaders is practically unlimited During the last few years many other concerns have gone into the business. un- til today the farmer has his pick from very many different kinds of manure spreaders and has been educated to a point where he esteems this as the most valuable of all farm tools, for he real. izes that the foundation of all farming is the soil; that anything which builds up this soil and makes 1t more productive increases the income from his farm; that If he gets crop, he will receive money to buy cultivating and harvesting ma chinery; that if he does not get a crop. such machinery is not necessary. There fore the first consideration of the thought ful farmer Is the means which he should provide for building up his soil to a point where the crop is assured leaving for after consideration the procuring of tools to cultivate and harvest that crop. In line with this idea, he first considers the manner of distributing his manure and fertilizers of his soil; and therefore we say that the first element necessary for the successful and prosperous farmer is a manure spreader.

In Cultured Arizona.

From the Tombstone (Ariz.) Bptaph.
 w. J. McDermith of Avon, Colo, re- gently inserted in an Arizona news paper the following advertisement:
 Wanted--A dishwasher; no objec- tion to age or color; lady preferred.
 A short time afterward the following reply, which may or may not be gen uine. was received:
 My Dear Sir: l saw your 'ad' in a paper. Would not have dared answer it if it had not stated positively that there was no objection to color You may be able to judge from my photo graph, which I am sending you, that am an Indian. I belong to the Apache tribe and live at the San Carlos Reser- vation. Have lived some in the civil ized world and am no longer satisfied to associate with the members of my tribe, so l am willing to link my fate with a white mans. No doubt you arc the man l am looking for. 1 am well educated for an Indian. This picture shows me in the native costume. am considered good-looking. l will gladly be your dishwasher if only you will learn my language. so we can converse in it, for even yet the English seems a cold harsh language to me l hope you have a good wigwam, as l am a chiefs daughter, and am used to the best our tribe could furnish. No doubt you can furnish plenty of 'frijoles' and 'tortillas Feeling sure from what yol said in the paper that you are not overly particular, I am hoping that 1 may come up to your ideas of dish washer.

Blind Girl an Athlete.

BerkeleX (Cal) Cor. New York Sun
 Miss Helen Masow. a graduate of the State Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, who Is unfortunate in having lost the sight of both eyes, is an unusual girl for one so hampered. She is well known in local musical circles for the beautiful voice that she possesses, and is now ere- ating much interest in the college town through her participation in athletics.
 For some time she has been an ardent horsewoman, riding through the streets and lanes of Berkeley with as much ease as her most fortunate sisters, who have the gift of sight. Tonight she created con siderable comment by appearing at the local skating rink on roller skates. At first she was rather timid and kept to the rail. but as she felt more and more accus- toned to the skates she grew bolder and ventured into the middle of the flor. She got along so well that she remained in the center of the floor all evening.

 Celery Seed.
 r. E., in Kalamazoo. Mich, asks where he might obtain seed of the California Mammoth Golden 5elf-blanching celery This is probably the plain "Goden Self blanching," and may have been sent out by some scotsman or seedsmen as Cali fornia Mammoth" I concede 1t to be a good celery. perhaps the best thus far known and most generally grown of all the early self-blanching sorts. California seed usually has particularly strong vital ity Yet the best seed is thought to be that grown in France, as 1t seems to be freer from the tendency to make hollow stalks. Look up the seed catalogues as they are now coming in from the various seedsmen, and you may come across the "Callfornla Mammoth Golden Self niahch- Ing celery All seedsmen list tho ordi- nary Golden Self -hIanching," and indeed this is good enough for me, with this proviso that l try to get seed imported from France.
 Fertilizer in Ant Hills.
 Tn the orchards as well as on the lawns We have numerous ant hills, sometimes so many as to become a nuisance. Prof. H. Ingle says somewhere that the organic matter and nitrogen have been found to be four times as abundant in such ant hills as on the ordinary soil around them. The percentage of available potash and phosphorie acid Is likewise much higher. He therefore suggests that pulverized ant hills might with advantage be used as manure on poor soils. or for seed beds in gardens Ii would take us a good while to pick up a load of such "ant hIl ma nure;" but if there was chance to get rid of the ant hills by doing 1t, we might be more willing to spend the time and effort The simplest way 10 treat the ant hills. it seems to me, Is to pick the soil in the hills up with the shovel. and scat ter this manure" over the surrounding soil The plant food will not be lost in any case.

 I have Snyder. Ancient Briton and Ei- dorado, and no cane has ever been hurt by the severity of our winters. Usually all sort sof blackberries winter here all right; but have had the larger kinds, among them the Erie and the Mlnne- waslki. so badly frozen back in an occa- sional hard winter d903 to 1904 for ln- stance) that the crop was nearly entirely ruined for that season. The large kinds, however are more in demand and bring better prices than the smaller ones, and therefore on an average are more profit able. In some sections of this state the newer Messereau Is found quite hardy and gives excellent crops. have not yet had it in fruiting.
