POWER OF TENDER PLANT.
A Remarkable Mushroom Growth
Through Asphalt.

Some substances usually rated as
solids are really very :viscous fluids
An example is the ordinary sheet as;
phalt of our city streets, which will
flow like molasses under the action of
a feeble force if long continued. By
this property contributor to Ma
chinery explains the reputed growth
of soft mushroom through an as
phalt pavement. He says:
1T is claimed that mushroom will
grow up through the asphalt of city
street, and that such cases have been
noticed It is almost inconceivable at
first thought that such a tender plant
as mushroom could break it's way
through the tough, sticky asphalt
which requires the sturdiest blows of
a laborer's pickax to dislodge. The
phenomenon, however, like many 9th
er strange actions of natural forces, is
capable of simple explanation A Ger
man publication recently illustrated
the action of the mushroom growing
through tough asphalt by an expert
ment made with Jumps of cobbler's
wax and cork, and the accompanying
cut shows the stages of the expert
ment. In the first view a glass jar is
shown containing a cork at the bot
tOms upon which are piled Jumps of
cobbler's wax until the jar is filled.
After period the Jumps of wax will
settle down and become one solid
mass, as illustrated in the second
view, the cork still remaining at or
uear the bottom But a still further

Succuient Foods For the Cow.

Succu'ent Foods For the Cow.
Now is the time to plan for a good
supply of green or succulent food for
the COWS next winter. No doubt this
can be more cheaply produced with the
silo but all dairymen do not have
silos, and they are not always practi-
cable on the small farm where only a
few cows are kept.
If you do not grow corn for ensilage,
try growing some roots this year.
Mangel wurzel beets are unequaled
and perhaps the best succulent food
for winter. There is no food grown
the COW likes better, and it is gen
orally safe to leave this question to her
as to what is good for her
The COW always keeps in better
health when fed green food with grain,
and it is absolutely necessary to maxi
mum milk production. do not con-
slider it safe to feed as much grain
as must be fed for the largest pro-
duction without green feed.
It costs something to grow mangels,
but they are worth all they cost. Sc
lect piece of rich, mellow land; use
seed drill, hand and horse wheel culti-
vators, and the work is very much re-
duced. Turnips, small potatoes and
apples are all good and should be util-
lied. l consider these succulent foods
just as needful to my cows as to
myself to keep them in good health.

Result of Persistent Action of ;
Small Force.

period of time will show the cork
slowly lifting through the sticky te-
aacious mass, owing to the power of
displacement, the cork being much
lighter than the wax. This slow but
sure action is analogous to that of the
mighty mountain glacier which will
-ield to the gentlest force operating
continually and in time it will be OBJ
served to follow the direction of very
slight pressure. 1t may take months
or years to produce an appreciable ef-
-ect, but the effect will surely follow.
In the case of the mushroom growing
through the asphalt, the pressure ex-
erted by the growth. of the fungus is
extremely slight, but it is persistent
and will surely displace the asphalt in
time, weather conditions being favor
able"

Yesterday forenoon the permanent
rifle target was set upon company LIS
range below the Peter West place on

tice was held. The shooting yesterday
was all at 200 yards, slow fire, and
the best score was made by Sergeant
Lee Drake, who made 40 out of a pos
sible so. Creditable scores were also
made by Sergeant Bailey and by Pri-
Yates Greiner and Hulburt.
From now on regular rifle practice
will be held by the local company and
there is much enthusiasm upon the
subject The men are classed accord
ing to the degree of proficiency in
shooting and several members of the
company now give good promise Of
qualifying as expert riflemen, the
highest of the three grades.

GOVERNMENT BRANDING.
System Authorized by the Army Reg
ulations.

ulauOnS.
Whenever you see the letters "U.
s." branded on the left fore shoulder
of an animal make up your mind at
once that the beast is or was at one
time the property Of our rich old
Uncle Sam.
Then, again, II you knew the key
to the system Of branding utilized by
the quartermaster's department, U. s.
A., you would In a moment, says the
Washington Post, be able to tell the
organization Of the army to which
that animal was assigned Immediately
after purchase by the government.
Last October. when the army Of
Cuban pacification was being embark
ed from Newport News, Virginia,
many of the army horses and mules
awaiting shipment became mixed with
those OF other organizations. but It
only needed the knowledge of Ser
geant Casey to decipher the hoof
brands and despatch the animals to
their proper organizations. In other
words, these brands serve as identifi-
cation tags.
Branding public animals is not a
matter OF choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which direct
that public animals shall, upon the
day they received, be branded with
the letters "U. s." on the left fore
shoulder. Horses assigned to organ
izations will also be branded on the
hoof of one fore foot, 1-2 inches
below the coronet, with the designa'
ton of the company.
Branding irons of uniform size ant

termaster's department. Letters "U

TELLS OF LOST INDIA
Complications Of the Indian Famine
Make II Difficult to Deal With-So
Many Various Languages and
Tribes That a Uniform System Of
Management Is Impossible.

Rev. Daniel Keefe, a returned mis-
sionary from India, says of the ter
rible famine now raging there and its
complications:
1t is not possible through the me-
dium of figures to form anything like
an adequate idea Of the stupendous
task involved in the government of
the vast Indian empire Of Great Brit
ain.
"The problems and difficulties are
not due to the mere fact that the area
under control is 100000 square
miles in extent nor that the popula-
ton included in it is 900, 900, but
this area embraces the most diversi-
fled climates and physical conditions
and that this population is made up
of many distinct races speaking near
ly 80 different languages.
at is not practicable to apply one
code of laws to the whole country
nor one system of policy. Land tenure
in Oudh is entirely different from
what it is in Gujarat or Mysore and
different again in the two latter Sec
tions of the country. Taxation as
practiced in the Punjab would not be
adapted to Kashmir or Halderabad

heavy grain business in the northwest

verse to traffic we expect to handle
the business with little difficulty"
continued Mr.. Mutt, while discussing
traffic conditions.
'"The fuel conditions are not what
we would like. We are informed the
mines will produce a greater tonnage
this year than last, but the demand
will be greater and unless the cities
are provided with fuel within the
next two months, there will be dan

at has been the policy of the
Northern Pacific to sound warning
in. all sections early in the year in
order that the greater per cent Of
the fuel might be moved before the
rolling stock is engaged in the wheat

CATTLE REACH FOUR CENTS.
Portland Market Is Greatly Stimulat.
ed This Month.

The oregon Sunday Journal mar
ket report says of cattle prices in
Portland:
The cattle market has at last been
forced back to the cent mark; some
of the best steers are selling at that
figure during the past week. Arrivals
were not small during the past week
but demand was better than usual and
this was the aid that put the market
25 cents higher than a week ago. The
total run Of cattle during this week
was 15S head compared with ITO
head a week ago, sos head year
ago and 1870 head for the week cor
responding to this in 1905. This is
the time of year when cattle values
usually show a better tone as re-
suit Of the increased inquiry. A year
ago at this time the cattle market be-
gan to climb out of the slough of
dullness and prices held steadier than
for six years previous.
