GOT SAILORS GOATS"
REMARkA6LE EXPERIENCE UNI
 NERvED BRITISH sEAMEN.
Men Refused to Stay on Ship That in Their Opinion Had "Seen the Bot tom of the sea"-Vessel Held
 in Thick Mud.

Not so very long ago the appear ance of new island off the coast of Alaska brought to mind other rapid uprisings of land on the ocean.
 An island suddenly came to light off the coast of Sicily, remained for two months and as quickly disappeared Sabrina, near the Azores, retired from public life before it had been fairly charted The Gulf of Mexico has wit messed the advent and subsistence of small islands. These upheavals of the bed of the ocean suggests all 5orts of mysteries connected with the un- known depths. A British vessel once had an uncanny experience in this con nection.
 The vessel was out twenty-three days from Manila to the Hawaiian is- lands. 1t was silent, dead-black night. The lead showed a, deep sea. Suddenly those on board felt as though they had grounded.
 Daybreak revealed low and misty sky. The Britisher lay as if becalmed in the midst of an oily sea strangely discolored in patches. Suddenly the water, to use the words of the mas ter, "trembled." The ship rolled, and in the distance rose a huge balloon shaped mass of vapor, steam or smoke. There was not the slightest sound, but long line of chafing water stretched across the streaky calmness. Then the vapor settled over all, and the ships company could hear but not see the seething and pouring water all about them. The captain ordered a bucketful to be drawn up. It was hot and smelled like the product of gas works. Whereupon the captain re, marked that "a new continent was be. ing poked up," adding that he wished himself well out of the way.
 The air grew more oppressive every moment. The vessel gave a gentle side roll and word went round that the ship was aground Over went the lead and came up covered with blue oozy mud. The Britisher was wal. lowing in sludge, the darkness was pall-like and the atmosphere suffocat ingly close. Then the air was reni with reports dreadful to hear in that darkness. There were three of these blasts and all was still again.
 When the light came, red and un. natural, strange sight met the eyes of those on board It was as if the bottom of the Pacific had been laid bare. They were helpless in a sea ot thick mud. The sulphur fumes were choking and all had to take refuge be low Hour after hour they gasped facing the probability of death by suffocation. Suddenly they felt that they were afioat. The bank of mud that held them had disappeared and after time the Britisher made heI way out of the gruesome spot
 When Honolulu was reached the crew deserted, for they held that there was no luck in ship that had "seen the bottom of the sea-

China and Christianity.

The progress of the Christian re. ligion in China under the policy of very benevolent neutrality" practiced by Yuan Shi-kai is noteworthy. Dur ing the last year, it is said, over 700 high officials, merchants and literati have enrolled in Bible classes. The churches in Peking-12 in all-are filled to overf1owing with new adher- ents, and several of them have en- larged their quarters. It is not un- usual to see meetings held under Christian auspices attended by audi ences of 5000 students Yuan Shi-kai himself recently made big contribu- ton to the work of the Methodist col lege in Peking.

GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.

The dinner at Scotts was a great success. Quite number of friends from town braved the clements to enjoy the good things set before them. One of the many citizens of the Heights was present on the oc- casion, and not only enjoyed the dinner, but carried home nice supply of sausage and other things that we in the lowlands know so we'll how to make. The ladies are much gratifed at the attendance and the goodly amount they realized.
 Last Sunday was so beautiful we had a number of callers at Galloway. The pike, which was dull during the wet weather, was lively with autos during Sunday.
 MT. Van Lear will hold serv- ices for us on the 30th. We are always glad to have him.
 The ground is still too damp for cultivation, but the planters are making improvements on their premises and on the homes of the colored folks. The wealth CT feels like spring today.

Powerful Electric Hammer

An electric hammer of new design has recently been evolved by leading American electrical manufacturer. Briefly, the new hammer consists of a high-speed, series-wound electric motor driving an eccentric mechanism through reduction gearing; the mech, anism, in turn, operating a plunger which is virtually the hammer. A sleeve is provided in which the drill or hammer rod may be inserted, so that it can be rapidly struck by the plunger.

Chinese Like Tobacco.

The introduction of the tobacco hab- it among the Chinese dates back only few years, and it's spread throughout the country has been astonishingly rapid, so it is stated by Consul Gen. eral Anderson at Hongkong. The cig- arette habit is not confined to men. Girls and women of all classes and ages, from ten years of age upward, in- dulge as freely and openly in cig- arettes, with as much apparent enjoy ment, as do their brothers.

 watered, and then kept for IS to
 24 hours without food before kill ing. Stock dresses out brighter when well watered and 1t adds to the appearance. Full crops in
 jure the appearance and are re liable to sour, and when this does occur correspondingly lower prices must be accepted than obtainable for choice stock.
 To Dress Chicken-Kill by bleeding in mouth or opening the veins of the neck; hang by the
 feet until properly bled. Leave head and feet on and do not re move intestines nor crop. Scala ed chickens sell best. For scala ing chickens the water should be as near the boiling point as possi- ble without boiling-160 to 150 Fahrenheit ]; pick the legs dry be- fore scalding; hold by the head and legs and immerse and lift up and down five or six times; If the head is immersed it turns the color of the comb and gives the eyes shrunken appearance which leads buyers to think the fowl has been sick; the feathers and pin feathers should then be removed immediately, while the body is warm, very cleanly and without breaking the skin; then plump" by dipping ten seconds in water nearly or quite boiling hot, and then immediately into cold water; hang in cool place { or better place on shelves in the shape you wish them to appear when cooled hanging draws the breast muscles and makes them look thinner when cool and harder to pack) until the animal heat is entirely out of the body. To dry pick chickens properly the work should be done while the chickens are bleeding; do not wait and let the bodies get cold. Dry picking is much more easily done while the bodies are warm. Be careful and do not break and tear the skin.
 How to Dress Capons-First be sure and not kill them until crops are empty and that they are fat. A thin capon is not as good as an ordinary chicken, because if not large or a proper capon they are not wanted as capons or chickens either. Leave feathers on neck from head down two thirds way to shoulders. Leave feathers on two joints of wings. Leave feathers on tail and half way up the back. Leave feathers on legs from knee joints two thirds up the hips. All the rest of the feathers come off. Feath- CTS that are removed should be saved and will if kept dry and clean. Be careful and keep the capon clean. Wrap paper around head. Appearances add to the sale and of course price.
 Ducks and Geese Should be scalded in the same temperature of water as for other kinds of but it requires more time for the water to penetrate and loosen the feathers. Some parties after scalding, wrapping them in a blanket for the purpose of steaming, but they must not be left in this condition long enough to cook the flesh. Do not under take to dry pick geese and ducks just before killing for the pur- pose of saving the feathers, as it causes the skin to become very much and is a great injury to the sale. Do not pick the feath- CTS off the head; leave the feath- CTS on for two or three inches on the neck. Do not singe the bodies for the purpose of removing any down or hair, as the heat from the flame will give them an oily and unsightly appearance.

SUDAN GRASS
BY F. C. Reimer, Southern Oregon
Experiment Station, Talent,
Oregon.

Experiment Station, Talent,
Oregon
Sudan grass is unquestionally the
greatest hay plant that has been in
troduced into the United States since
the introduction of alfalfa.
This plant promises to become a
leading factor in the agriculture of
the Pacific Coast and in the south
ern states. In many sections and on
many soils it will probably become
the leading hay crop.
History-Sudan grass is a native
of Sudan Egypt, where it has long
been growing under such adverse eli
matte conditions that it has develop
ed remarkable drough-resisting char
acteristics. A small quantity of seed
of this plant was introduced into the
United States in 1909, by the U. S.
department of agriculture. This seed
was planted in an experimental way
in the dry region OF western Texas,
where the plants made such a re-
markable growth that it attracted
unusual attention. Since that time
1t has been tried in various sections
of the United States, and has given
very satisfactory results in all ex-
cept the most northern states.
Characteristics of Sudan Grass -
Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum
family. AS it is not a legume it can
not gather nitrogen from the air, as
do alfalfa, clover, vetches, and peas.
1t is an annual, hence must be re-
seeded every year. 1t is quite tender
and is readily killed by heavy frosts.
The plant stools very freely, a single
plant oftens producing 100 or more
stems. Under very favorable condi-
tions it will grow to a height of ten
feet.
1t can be cut repeatedly without
killing the plant. In the southern
states it is usually cut three or four
times during the season, while in this
valley, owing to our short seasons,
we have been able to get only two
cuttings; that is, where the first cut
ting is not made until the plant is in
bloom. Where the plants are cut
as soon as they are three or four feet
high, three cuttings can be obtained
here.
Chemical analysis shows that Su-
dan grass ranks high in food value.
While it is not equal in composition
to good alfalfa hay 1t is fully equal
to the best timothy hay. Feeding

alibi.
Don't throw your racquet unless
the other fellow can't fight.

a printer that has just pied a galley
of type.
Don't hit the ball out of bounds in
singles and then say you thought
you were playing doubles.
Don't let a pretty girl beat you.
Don't run after the ball when you
have sliced fungo half block over

the way they let the sun shine in your
eyes.

acter of your socks.
Don't hesitate to tell about how
we'll you used to play.
Don't have any "bones" about
claiming you meant it when the ball
hits the top of the net and just rolls
over the other side to score for you.
Don't tell the truth when you have
the court and someone wants to know
what the game score is.
Don't see your neighbor's ball when
it rolls in your territory, or you'll
have to exert yourself to retrieve it
for him.
Don't hesitate to yell the game
score as loud as you can when you're
ahead.
