While staging scandals in each ma

They never cast an Irishman with an

They stage him with brogue, a hod,

The "clean- cut man of brains runs off
with "solne one elses'' wife,
And Pat he cracks joke on some

And everybody laughs. Good nature

But Pat does not desert his wife for
an affinity.
An Irishman is seldom found villain
on the stage,
While men Of other nations, poor and

In gambling. shooting, stabbing, cut

And stealing their own brothers wives
and such unsavory pranks;
But that historic Emerald man,-now,

The man impersonated only for his

While others sing "My wife's gone to

They never put Pat on the stage with

THE ORANGE SCALE.

The California orange grower has
lately had to cope with one of the
most serious pests which have troubled
him-the orange scale. which has APP
peared in several colors and is anal
ogous to the San Jose scale. Usual
methods of spraying with bordeaux
or lime-sulphur solutions seem TO be
ineffective. The method at present
followed is to cover the trees with n
tight canvas and give thorough fumi-
cation with hydrocyanic acid gas, one
of the most deadly volatile poisons
known. which is sure death to all
forms Of animal or bacterial life with
which It comes IN contact. The proc
ess Is tedious and expensive one, as
It takes some time to treat each tree,
but It is the only way out for those
who hope to produce an orange crop
which will pass muster at the pack
ing house.

CORN AND CHOLERA.

Hog raisers the country over are put
ting two and two together in the mat
ter of excessively high prices of corn
and absence of hog cholera and draw
ing some deductions that ought to be
OF value for a good many years to
come along the line Of the connection
between the health Of the hog and the
food ration which it is given. 1t has
been observed during the past eight
cen months-an interval which has
seen scant feeding of corn owing to
high price-that there has been an al
most total absence of the swine plague
in sections where corn has constituted
the chief feeding and fattening ration.
The net result of this situation has
meant an enormous saving to hog
raisers, and this whether the connec-
ton between feed and animal health is
as close as held by some or not.
There is surely enough in the theory to
make careful study and comparisons
of feeding conditions in different sea-
sons worth while. 1t has been a mat
ter Of observation with a good many
that the worst outbreaks of cholera
have usually followed on the heels of
an inordinate stufing Of young pigs
with green and immature corn, the
plague finding fertile soil for develop
ment for months after in droves of
hogs whose health had been weakened
as a result of this irrational method of
feeding. If it turns out, therefore,
that the feeder can just as well sell a
part of his corn and at the same time
save his hogs, it would seem clearly in
his interest to do so.

A WINNING COMBINATION.

The first five or six years in the life
of an orchard may be counted upon
as well nigh unproductive. To over
come this some grow cover crop in
sections where the winters are cold,
which, being a secondary considera
ton, can be counted on for but slight
return. In the west where the winters
are milder strawberries are grown
among the trees and not only serve
this purpose where needed, but give
generous return for the use of the
land. In the Hood river valley. famed
as AN apple and strawberry section,
the 7stra wberries in the young orchards
net the owners all the way from 5000
to 500 per acre. At the end of five
years The trees come into bearing,
when the numbers of rows may be
decreased or the plants entirely re
moved Strawberries might well he
grown thus in even much colder sec
lions, as the plants and covering re
Quired to protect them would catch a.
much snow as would be needed to pro
tect the roots of the trees.

The question Of polar discovery is one
of special interest at this time and the

travel and life in the far north.

ABOUT CEMENT TILE.

1t is only justice and fairness to
those contemplating the drainage Of
wet land to speak another word of
warning touching the use of cement
tiles in the manufacture of which the
proper kind Of clean, sharp sand has
not been used or which do not con
tain a sufficient per cent of cement to
give them strength and durability
Within a fortnight we have heard one
who Is interested in square deal for
the user of tiles say that short time
since he saw cement tiles of this shod
dy description taken from the ditch all
gone to pieces which were laid but
eighteen months ago. The worst fea
ture about the matter is that one who
is not acquainted with cement tiles
cannot tell at a glance whether they
are properly made or not, while the
putting of them in the ground to find
out is altogether too expensive an ex-
pertinent for the average man to mon
key with. In view Of this situation it
follows that the only safeguard that
one can have in purchasing cement tiles
is the character and experience of the
man who has made and offers them for
sale. Makers Of clay tiles concede that
cement tiles, properly made, are as
good as clay tiles, and this is quite a
concession for a competitor to make,
but no such authority as this need be
cited to prove that poor cement tiles
are not worth a cOntinental-in fact,
are, if laid, a good deal worse than
nothing
