OMNIBUS BILL TO BECOME
LAW WITHOUT SIGNATURE

Olympia, March 23.-Gov. Hay Will
allow the omnibus appropriation Dill

tutions.
The acting governor yesterday vetoed

lators giving pledges, under penalty OF
disqualification for Office. He declares
the act would encourage insincerlty,
and perhaps dishonesty, rather than
accomplish any real good.
The Beach Oyster land bill, to con-
firm title in fee simple to purchasers OF
oyster lands from the state under the
Callow act, was also vetoed.
The acting governor has approved
in it's entirety the criminal code, in
Guiding the cigarette and rectified spir-
it's provisions, to which dealers made
great objections.
He signed also house bill 46, to per-
NIT state college regents to acquire

IMPORTERS FEAR
PHRASE IN TARIFF Bill.

Washington, March 2O.-Portland
importers are telegraphing anxiously
to Senator Chamberlain, expressing
fear lest the new tariff bill go into
effect Immediately on its passage.
The bill as introduced reads. "On and
after the day following the passage OF
this act, making the new tariffs effec-
tive Immediately.
The importers assert that such a pro-
vision, if finally adopted, would I'M
mensely injure them. One prominent
house wires:
eff such measure passes it would
mean putting out of business practi-
cally every importer on the Pacific
coast. The bill should read ION goods
not actually in transit at the time of
passage.
Pressure here seems to be for bill
effective Immediately on passage, the
claim being that business interests
have been disturbed by the revision
agitation, and that it is necessary to
settle all questions as soon as possible.

A Curious vane.

One of the most curious vanes to be
seen on any church in Great Britain Is
at Great Gonerby, a parish adjoining
Grantham.
It is in the form Of fiddle and a
bow and is unusually large. Its his
tory is curious. Many years ago
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out a modest livelihood by per-
forming on an old violin which was
almost part Of his life. At last he
decided to emigrate, and out in the Tar
west prospered and became q rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby sum sufficient to build
a church, and attached to the gift the
curious condition that metal replica
Of his old fiddle and bow should be on
the summit Of the edifice. The gift
was accepted and the vane may be seen
on the church.

Pruning Large Limbs.

Pruning Large Limbs.
TO ensure rapid healing In the plant
after pruning it is necessary that all
wounds should be left smooth. If it is
necessary to use a saw in removing a
large limb the cut surface should be
left smooth and clean, particularly
around the edges. The sharper the saw
the cleaner will the cut be and this
should in turn be made smoother by
the use of pruning knife or sharp
ch1sel, as the healing process starts
quicker and progresses more rapidly
when this precaution is observed It
frequently happens that in order to OBJ
tain the best results in removing large
branches, two cuts should be made. The
limb may be sawed off 10 inches or 2
feet above the point of its origin In
order to prevent splitting down and
tearing of considerable part of the
bark. After the weight of the limb
has been lessened by cutting away the

ACOMA EASTERN ROAD TO
EXTEND TO COWLITZ VALLEY

Tacoma, March 2O.-The Tacoma
Eastern Railroad Company is making
extraordinary efforts to reach the
Cowlitz river. Surveyors are at work
in Lewis county running lines, with
instructions to work every day without
regard to weather conditions
The extension will be twenty miles
long, the survey going down the Til
ton valley and crossing the east fork
of that stream and then turning into
the Davis lake region, from which
point it will cut straight across the
country to the Cowlitz, which is struck
six miles above Morton
The activity Of the railroad is be-
lieved by some to mean that the road

PROVISION MARKET IN AFRICA,


Travellers in Africa find the standard
OF living somewhat different from what
they are accustomed to at home. One
of the latest to report upon this mat
ter is Mary Hall In her book, "a Wom-
ans Trek from the Cape to Cairo"
The following paragraphs reflect a
strong light upon the condition of mar
ket and kitchen In British Central
Africa:
When the native butcher proposes to
kill an OK, notice to that effect is sent
round to the white people on the prev
1ous day. Once they were appraised Of
the fact by the following startling an
nouncement: "a bule will be murdered
tomorrow morning at a. M
This old-blooded crime, so carefully
premeditated- even to the exact hour
was, however, not committed, as the
following morning a second notice was
issued, as follows: 1.-THE bule ran away
this morning, SO was not murdered"
But this was an exceptional case.
I heard one story which is so char
acteristic Of the native that repeat
it. The man who related 1t told me
that the incident occurred when he
was on journey, and was suffering
from a bad attack of fever. One even
ing he fancied he would like some eggs.
and told his boy to get two and boil
them lightly.

him as hard as bullets. He told the
boy he must. get some more and boil
them less; but alas these were brought
to him In the same condition, and the
poor fellow wished he had never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in, he made
another attempt, and told his boy.
Come to me when the water bOils."
The boy did SO.
''Now," said his master, put the eggs
in, and when you have counted fifty,
take them out"
The native method Of reckoning is to
count up to ten, and then begin again,
arriving at the total by the number Of
tens counted. The sick man heard the
boy start fair and get as far as four
tens. when second boy interfered. and
questioned whether it were the third Or
fourth ten.
This started a discussion; and as
they could not agree, it was decided to
begin all over again. Meanwhile the
eggs were still boiling, and getting
harder and harder. This was about
the last straw, and Ill as the man felt,
he was compelled to get out Of bed and
put a summary end to the cooking OPP

Airing the Eggs.

Many beginners do not understand
why the eggs in the incubator should
not be turned or aired after the eigh-
teenth day. The reason is that at this
time the chicks are getting ready to
pip" the shells, and they shape them
selves around so as to pip on the up
per side of the shell first. Should the
eggs be moved when the chicks are
about to hatch the bill may be torn.
The fluid will naturally flow to the
opening and dry them there, holding
the chicks head tight. It does not
take long to shut of life in this condi-
ton.

At Rodman Village, Jefferson Conn

are supplying it with separator cream

The Hens Health.
LIZ. salmon or the Bureau OF AMI
NAL Industry lays down this rule for
telling the health Of the bird by its
.droppings: The condition of the drop.
pings furnishes good indication Of
the hens health. They should be OF
sufficient consistency to hold their
shape, but should not be too solid. In
color they should be dark, tapering
of into grayish white. If the drop
pings are soft or pasty, and of gel
lowish or brownish color, it indicates
too much carbohydrates or lack Of
meat. If, on the other hand, the drop
pings are watery and dark, with red
splashes Of mucus in them, 1t indf-
Gates too much meat. A greenish,
watery diarrhea usually indicates un-
sanitary conditions either in the sur
roundings, the feed or the water.

Transplanting Trees.

In transplanting old trees it is desir-
able to save all possible roots and to
have these disturbed as little as pos
sible. In the case Of young fruit trees,
however, good growth may be secured
IL the roots are well cut back. One
may not fear then to cut away all
broken, mangled, dried or dead parts
Of the root system in setting young
trees. In fact, a tree Is better of
without sucn dead parts. If the trees
have been so handled that all main
roots and small fibrous ones are fresh,
If they show no signs Of having dried
out and especially If the cuts show
healing or II new rootlets are begin
ming to start there will be little need
of pruning the roots at the time Of set
ting.

Bee Culture.


ALTHOUGH there is no fortune to be
expected in bee culture, the business is
one of profit The raising of bees is
one of the most interesting Of pastimes
and also one that pays well for the in
vestment. Honey is, perhaps, the pur-
est and richest of all sweets and should
be found on every farm. OF course,
farmers cannot be expected to main
tain large apiaries, though they should
always have few hives. What is not
consumed on the farm can always be
sold.
Half a dozen or so colonies OF bees
in well-arranged hives is sufficient to
begin the bee business. In fact, they
are about what the average farmer
should keep. Before embarking In the
business, however, it is advisable to
become posted as much as possible.
This can be done by studying books
and papers on bee culture and by visit
ing some apiary conducted by a man
who knows the business.

Cement HOG wallow.

Cement Hog Wal1Ow.
A recent introduction In several up
to-date farm yards are cement hog
wallows. They are supplied periodical
~ with fresh water and the approaches
are made by pounding cobble stones
into the earth to prevent mud mixing
in with the water. Sometimes lice rem
edies of an oily nature are poured in
the wallow with the water. Being
lighter, Of course, the antiseptic stuff
floats and the hogs can't 60 in without
getting an oily coating all over them.
This is Objectionable, unless the rem
edy is harmless to the hog, inside as
well as out, because hogs will sometimes
drink from the wallow; but even this
is taken advantage Of by using lice
killers.-Journal of Agriculture.
