who has lived In Portland off and on
for many years, while following up
traoes of oolor from the Vanoonver
side, at last stumble! upon the much-aought-for
mother lode that the pros
pectors in that section have been trying
to locate ever sinoe it waa found that
the places at the headwaters of the
Washongal river would not pay.
After staking out claims on several
of the supposedly rich leads, Sullivan
made his wsy down to Stevenson, and
of oouree oould not keep his discovery
to himself. The news quiokly spread
that an immense gold field bad been
discovered at the headwaters of Rook
creek, which rises at the foot of Look
out mountain and makes its way down
to the town of Stevenson, fifteen miles
south on the Columbia river. Reports
of the gold discovery caused a great
flurry of excitement in the little ooun
try town, and in less than a week's
time dosens of parties were on their
way to the new Cripple Creek. The
gold fields, it is estimated, run fifteen
miles up the mountain side aDd within
stretch of ten or twelve miles there
ia any number of leads. When Mr. ;
Woodworth left, a week ago, there
were already between fifty and one j
hundred claims staked out, not a few
prise, they were not less swift In their
movements, or less fearless In meeting
death. Had the policy of the colonial

As there are more than 159 square

Tha Tasael of Corn.
The flower of the corn plant is di

male section, which furnishes the poll

portion of the flower, wblcb receives
It Each thread of silk carries some
of tbe pollen to the ear, and there a
grain of corn is formed. The profusion
of silk is so great that the grains of
corn are compacted on tbe ear as close

fact It la more IlkeJy due to the drying
up of tbe tassel, so that not enougu
poUen la formod to fertilise all the silk.
If there la either a very dry ' or very

will be plenty. Heavy rains in one
case wash the pollen off, and tho 'dry
weather causes tho tassel to shrivel

It Is a good plan for fariunrs who
grow rye to save a few bundles to be
threshed by hand, aud use the straw
for binding corn atalks. We cut com
much earlier than wo used to do, and
It Is wise to do so. In using green corn
stalks for binding the tops, of stooks, j
perhaps two or three will breuk, wast
ing stalks, spoiling patience and taking
time, all of which would bo saved by
having a wisp of long rye straw to use
In bitidlng the tope- There Is still au
other advantage of the rye band. They
will hold, while lf a dry. hot spell comes
a good many of the stalk bauds will
break, letting the itook fall apart,
mid when ralus come most of tbe stalks
will bo found In the mud. Those who
use rye bands for binding corn stalks
will never after be without them, even
If they have to grow a small piece of
ryo every year for this purpose alone.

It Is natural at planting time to put
some composted stable manure lu
melon bills. Tbe soil Is then rather
damp and too cool for the melons. The ,
manure dries and warms It, which '
gives the seed au earlier start than
It could get without the manure, ltut
alMiut this time the man who has mel
ons wlih manure In the hill wishes he
had not put any there. No matter bow
well composted the manure, It will not
bold Its moisture Into midsummer
beats. The best way to water these,
melon hills Is to make deep holes down
below the manure In tbe hills, and then :
slowly fill and refill them with water
until tbe ground Is well saturated. I
Then If the boles are filled with loose ;
soil, and the surface Is kept mellow to ;
prevent evaporation, the melous will ;
not suffer for lack of moisture In even '
tbe dryest times. j

Butntltntee for Wheat
Possibly one of the reasons for the j
low prices of wheat the past few years !
la that so many substitutes hav been
found for It us human food. We atill j
use a great deal of wheat, but In cltli
especially whenten bread la less the
staff of life that It used to be. The use I
of out meal has Increased, and it dally !
forms part of the nutritive ration, and :
very gwd nutrition It Is, too. We use :
far more fruit than formerly, aud alsu
more potatoes. The latter are not so,
good In nutrition as wheat, and for
this reason their Incrcssed use Is not
for our advantage In health nml
strength. Like all other stiircy food,
potatoes are difficult to digest, and
should only be eaten In moderation, ex-
cept by those whose digestion Is strong.

Facta for the Farmer.
Slice lovo pumpkin seeds, ami wll
be attracted to a imp baited with then,
when they will pint by a piece of meat.
An excellent axle-grease: Tallow,
eight pounds; palm oil, ten pouutls;
plumbago, one pound; heat and mix
well.
To help the early lambs, the ewes
should bare a liberal meal of oatmeal
gruel, a little warm, every morning, as
soon as tbe lamb la born.
The feet of foals very seldom re
ceive the care and the frequent In
spection so necessary to their future
protection of form and soimdnes.
Horses' feet from this cause alone fre
quently become defective and un
healthy. Ignorance and carelessness
are, perhaps, equally to blame.
It Is the business of the farmer to
ascertain if he has any stock that It
does not pay to keep. It is suicidal
business policy to be feeding and shel
tering stock that do not pay for their
keep.
A correspondent of an exchange sug
gests to prevent apple trees from
splitting where they grow Ip forks, tak
ing a sprout that Is growing In one
branch and grafting it on the other.
Tho branch will grow with tho tree
and become a strong brace. ,
A difference of A very few days
makes a great difference in all kinds
of crops some seasons. Clover gown
Just before a beating rain would be
come Itnbeded In the soil, and would
grow . better and stand more dry
weather than If sown Immediately
after the rain.
Owing to tbe location of some sta
bles, It is Impossible to get much sun
light In them; but In the greater num
ber of barns, where the cows stand In
a row next to tho side, It would be an
easy matter to put In a few windows. !
One window for every two cows should
be the rule, and they may bo swung
open to throw the manure out of them,
lf necessary. If tbe sun can shine di
rectly' on tbe cow, o much tbe better.
Don't compare "Battle Ax"
with low grade tobaccos compare
"Battle Ax" with the best on
1 the market, and you will find you
get for 10 cents almost twice as
much "Battle -Ax" as you do of
s other high grade brands
