We did not witness the phenomenon, but our infor mants a e pe.-fect'y reliable, and state that the vapor eon! J be easily discerned. At the last meeting of the Town Trustees of Ashland, an ordinance was passed pro viding for the arrest of vagrants, who will be compelled, upon conviction of vagrancy, to work upon the streets far the improve ment of the town. The first train reached Rock Point last Tuesday about three o'clock p. sr., says the Jacksonville Sentin"U. Many old residents of that locality were there to greet it, some of them never having seen a train of cars before. The Lakeview r-ammer reports that a human head, partially decomposed, was brought by dogs to the ranch ot Capt. Follet at Willow nich last week. It is supposed to be the head of Shaw, .who was mysteriously mnrdered on the Madeline plains some time since, his body being found with the head missing. Baltimore, having more than 320,0 ,0C 0 invested in oyster picking, and over 30,000 persons engaged in the business, is taking measures to prevent the destruction of the oyster beds in ahe Chesapeak Bay. It is proposed that the period of rest for oysters shall be lengthened and extend from April 1st till October 1st. Slow milking of cows never secures the full product. The cow becomes tired of re laxing the under muscles, and after a time resumes the more natural position of con tracting them. This makes much stripping necessary, and a slow milker will never have patience to strip a long time. Partial milk ing soon dries the cow, and greatly reduces her value . Some one has made a calculation showing that difference in yield of milk of one-sixth of a quart per day should, at the usual price, make a difference of $10 in the valne of a cow, the feed and care being the same. But it should not be forgotten that the value of ordinary cows may be much in creased by attention to regular, clean milk ing, plenty of good water, warmth in Win ter, general comfort at all times. It i, very easy for a careless milker to dry np a cow. much more than one-sixth of a quart per day, and this represents more than the interest on $10 a year. Astortan Items. C. Leinenweber is loading 5,000 cases salmon on the Spirit of the Dawn. The Rowland Hill cleared for Queens town yesterday with 49,954 bushels wheat worth $51,200. The Sarah Bell dropped down to Havel's dock yesterday to discharge 500 tons of coal. The Killochan cleared yesterday for Liverpool. She takes 15,031 bbls flour, 10,700 bushels wheat and 4,800 cases sal mon. Her cargo is worth $103,755. The present buoys will be removed from Sand Island channels this week and spar bnoys put in their place. It is donbtful if that channel will be much used hereafter. The editor of the Seattle Herald has broken down by too much severe work and resigns his position. Mr. Hawley has put a good deal of conscientious work into his pap r and his retirement is a matter of regret The British bi k Scottish Bard, 816, Hamilton, mrster, arrived in yesterday, 79 days from Brisbane. The Geo, S. Homer, Killochan and Spirit of the Dawn are about loaded, and will probably clear to-morrow. The latest report of a coal find comes f :om the place of Mr. A. A. Anderson, on the north side of the Nehalem, near River side, three miles from the railroad line in Sec. 32, T. 6, N. R. 5, W. The find is a good one, the vein being ten feet thick. While repairing the ship Drhing Ware at Tacoma recently, the carpenters came across a eix-poundjeannon ball firmly im bedded in the wood. The ball was fired into the vessel as she was leaving Galveston harbor, with a cargo of cotton, during the war of the rebellion. It was stated in the Astorian some time ago that the Qneen was about to be with drawn from the present route and ply be tween San Francisco and the Sound. It is now the opiuiou that the change will take place about New Years. This will put the Columbia traffic on the old footing. At the 0. R. & N. dock the usual bustle prevails, steamers and barges hourly ar riving and departing. The Ice K.iig is taking on 50, . j cases sa'.moD; the Sarah Bell is discharging coal; the Spirit of the Dawn is finishing cargo with 5,000 case salmon for Liverpool; the Imperial is st'1! awaiting whe-fc to finish. The Hen Business. A pen and ink wrestler has untied a book and let it loose upon the patient people, which book bears the title "How to make 500 a Year from Twelve Hens. " We tried this getting rich out of the hen business last year, and while it looks nice and pvetty in gilt letters on blue binding, to save "CD a .year from twelve hens our experience was different. We secured, last spring, a collection of six lady hens and a male com panion, and domiciled them in an extensive hen pasture in the rear of our premises. We figured it all out that with six eggs a day, and occasional vacations which would be paid for in chickens, we would soon have money enough to go to Europe . or run for office. Early in the season, the brown Leghorn troops fought nobly, and we began to look around with the idea of getting a safe to put our egg money in. Just at this juncture corn stepped up to $1 a bushel, and our hens ceased laying and turned all their attention to their appetite . During the interim (interim is a word that we found in the office when we bougl it), one of our hens had succeeded in pre senting to the world a dozen little brown balls, which imagination told us would make excellent chick en pies along in De cember. Imagination lied to us, however, for in less than four weeks every one of the little brown darlings had been referred to the interior department of a confounded skunk, and there was seven weeks lost time to be charged up to that hen's profit and loss account. We forbear telling of our midnight ramble in the dewy mazes of our girden, clad in modesty and a night shirt, with a revolver filled with 32-100 catridges and a heart filled with animosity toward that skunk. We draw a curtain o'er that scene. When fall came, and after we had bought eggs to feed ourselves and corn to feed our bens for awhile, we retired from the hen business, and we have made up our minds that it takes something more than a book and a dozen of hens to make $500 a year. Of course there are hen artists who can play the game for all it is worth, and make it pay; but for a greenhorn to think that twenty-four hens are worth a cool thousand a year to him, is folly. If you could make hens lay every day, and bring chickens up on a bottle in some secluded corner where skunks could not get at them, it would pay for novices to establish hen dairies. As it is, however, we novices had better save our money from buying such books as the one described, to buy eggs with, and let those who understand egg harvesting do the work. There is too much responsibility; too much getting up nights too shoot skunks, and too few eggs in the business, to offer inducements to amateurs. Mara thon Independent. Land Slide. A large land slide happened last Sunday morning 2 miles south of town, says the Roseburg Plaindealer, at what is called Sheridan's cut, which completely burried the railroad, and so effectually did it block up the road, that it took a large force of men from Sunday morning until Monday night without censation to remove the de bris. Monday morning they had a tempor ary track laid by the side of the slide, so that the passenger train could pass. The freight train could not pass south Monday but remained and assisted the workmen in hauling off the earth and. rock. But on Tuesday it made its regular taip going as fr as Glendale and return, from which point an extra engine took the freight to Grant's Pass. In this manner no time was lost after Tuesday. This slide occured at a placo where every thing was thought safe but Oregon hills are very deceptive, it seems. The Curcullo Mastered. For'many years past the curculio has been an almost unconquerable enemy of the fruit growers, and not a few have cut down their fruit trees as cumberers of the ground not receiving any returns from them. A writer says: "1 have remaining a few nice trees, left standing for ornament and shade, and year after year these trees have bloomed and set full, but in spite of every eabrt, until the present season, not a quart of fruit was received. While the trees were in full bloom last spring my wife de termined to try an experiment upon one of them, which she did, and it resulted more favorably than conld have been expected. Early every morning, while the tree was in full bloom, corn meal was strewn over the ground beneath the branches, and the whole flock from the poultry yard at once I set to work to gather up the particles of grain. The ground was thoroughly scratch ed over, and meal, Insects, and everything to the fowls edible gathered up. Later in the season a brood of chicks was cooped be neath the tree, and the operation of sowing meal continued. This operation was not omitted for a dav from the time of the nut ting for jh of the trees unt'l the plums were beyond the reach o! the little pests Now for the result; this tree, and this alone, was loaded with fruit, to the perfect amazement of all who saw it. It wac literally cove-ed with fruit as perfect as could be desired. So heavily were the limbs laden that props had to be used all around the tree. I really believe there were more and better plums upon this tree than in all the township, and I am disposed to say, all o" the eounty. Not a plum matured on any other tree on my premises, and all are of the same vari ety as the one saved. Make Every Edge Cut. It is bad policy for a farmer to cultivate only one crop. If that fails he has lost a year's work; but if he cultivates several crops some of them are always sure to suc ceed, and some will command a remunera tive price. A farmer about to commence, looks over the fields, and finding that but ter always commands a good price, buys a few cows, and then to prevent the slops from the dairy being wasted, he buys some hogs. Poultry pays, and one hundred hens and cocks are bought. When he buys his horses he sees that it is better (:nstead of geldings that are deteriorating .. they grow older) to invest in fine large mares that will produce him a foal worth, say as a yearling, $100 every year, in addition to doi ng the work on the farm. If the mares are la-ge they will easily do this. There is always a demand for large horses and mules for draft purposes, and they sell readily. Every farmer should try to make everything pay a profit make "every edge cut." Sural Califorrian. Stir the Son. That is what weeds are for, to induce the farmer to stir the soil and cultivate the crops. If we can't use the hoe, use the plow nd cultivator to keep the surface of the soil loose and mellow. It is a question worth considering how much hoeing and cultivating, or rather how little, would be given to crops were it not for the presence of weeds. The farmer is apt to say, ' 'The corn or potato field is get ting very weedy and must be cultivated,'' but one rarely says, "the soil must be stirred. " An English gardener says he does not agree with those who say that one good weeding is worth two hoeings. He says : "Never weed a crop in which a hoe can be used, not so much for the sake of destroy ing weeds, which must be the case it the hoeing be well done, as ?for increasing the porosity of the soil, to allow the air and water to penetrate free.y through it. Oftentimes there is more benefit derived from crops by keeping them well hoed than there is from the manure applied. Weeds or no weeds, I keep stirring the soil, wel! knowing from practice the very beneficial effect it has. " Western Agriculturist. Coloring Butter. "A farmer's Wife" recomends her way of coloring butter, which does not at all in jure but adds to the flavor of the butter. It is simply using the juice of the orange carrot as follows: "For about three gallors of cream take six or more good-sited car rots, wash them and grate them on a coarse grater; when grated pom- on boiling water, which will extract the color. Put the cream in the churn; strain the carrot juice through coarse mu lin into the cream and churn. Should the cream be warm enough, the carrot juice must cool before using. Aside from the coloring the car rots give the butter a sweet taste, similar to gra-ss butter. This receipt is as plain as to n.ake a cup of tea, aud is equal to any so-called gilt edged butter that was ever made in the absence of pasturage. " From this it will be seen that there is no excuse for making the poor butter in winter that we can see so much of. The only expense is a few carrots at a churning, and a few minutes of labor, which are over come a half score of times by the increased price of the butter sold.. Never put the hands into butter. There is no excuse for so doing, and every sense of cleanliness forbids it. Even if the hands are clean, still as butter absorbs any and every impurity with which it comes in con tact, excessive prespiration of the hands or any humor of the blood might be imparted to the butter. A wooden ladle should be used to lift the butter from the churn and turn it over while being washed.
