4 OREGON SCOUT. J9WM ft CHAXCEY, Fsbliihers. THE NORTHWEST POLICE. Bold Men who Trencrro Order In an Kx tremeljr I.nwle Country. Although organized as a civil force. trauor civilian administration, and as its namo indicates, a body of constab ulary, tho mounted polico which tho Dominion maintains in its Northwest Torritory is more truly military in spirit, discipllno and campaigning efficiency than many an organization having a military title, Tho types of tho men composing it indicato nn nctlvc, athletic sot. capablo of endur ing tho hard work of their sorvlco, yet fond of presenting a natty nppearanco on parado or when off duty. I hoy aro typos ovldontly belonging to the fron tier post and the army drill-yard rather than to ordinary municipal Ufa Somo join through lovo of adventure, and havo porhnps already served In tho British army. Chosen carofully lor their soldierly qualities, they havo n strong corps pride, and when vacan cies occur In tholr number thoro is llt- to diillculty in finding do9irablo re cruits. Tho dutlos which tho Northwest po lice aro called upon to perform aro varlod and Important, and somotlmes arduous. Iholr stations extend west of Manitoba to tho Kocky mountains, Tho Indians and tho half-broods of that region constantly requlro looking after. Tho latter, particularly In tho Saskatchewan region, havo grievances "which causo discontent, somotlmos breaking out into open revolt, ns in Kiel's rebellion. It was tho mounted poiico that Kept watch on tho move ments of Kelt's followers in 1884, and reported a rising immlnont in 188T, :and then fought tho first battlo, about two mllos from Dunk Lake. Through mo campaign, wnon troops woro called on, tho mounted polico co-opor- ntcd. Somo of tho Indian bands nro ad dicted to horso-stoallng, and, on tho bordor, raids occur botwoon hostilo trlbos for tho purposo of plundoring each othor's hords, whilo tho ranches nf wlilfn nnf (lnlfl urn filun unmnffmna visited. A squad of tho mountod polico Is hurrlod off, undor such olr cumstancos, oithor to check intended raids or to recovor stolon property. Jn dealing with tho IndlanB of tho frontier, llrmnoss, insight and prompt ness aro called for, and tho mounted polico have acquired unusual skill in this part of tholr duties. Thoy are, also, charged with executing tho laws governing tho sale of Intoxicating liquors in tho Northwest Torritory, and this duty is bo strictly performed that tho Territory has boon called "ono of tho grout tomporanco quar ters of tho globo." Whim tho mountod polico nro massed at Koglna or olsowhoro lor drill or manouver, with their good liorsomanship. In their red coats and light bluo breeches, with orange or gilt braid, thoy form a plcturosquo body, whoso olllolonoy is at onco vory apparent. Tho region controllod by thorn Is roally kept in remarkably good order, and ono illustration of this Is tho peacoful and ordorly way In "which tho Canadian I'aclllo railroad was constructed. Uarpcrys Weekly. Good Uso for Sparrows. Would It bo Impossible for somoono in high position In society and friotully to tho agricultural causo to Induco somo tif tho royal blood to try a dish of uparrowsP Thoy aro uncommonly nice and noarly always wonderfully plump, as well thoy may bo consider ing that thoy havo such a liking for mo nest 01 corn, n they ueenmo a popular dish llko somo of tho other umallor birds, which aro not half bo nlco, thou thoro Is no doubt thoy would soon bocomo small by degrees and beautifully loss. The bird Is, how ever, too common to be so well appreciated as It might bo, considering how meaty and rich of Uavor ho lo. Sparrow pudding Is a dish which has probably never yet been placed boforo crowned heads. In humbler dwolllngs, however, sparrow pudding used to bo a more frequent urtlclo of dlot than It is in tho present day. Work people aro too wollolTto trouble much about sparrows. Ono chief objection is doubtless tho trouble which oxlsts in gottlug thorn ready for the table. Hut tho procoss Is simple mid easy enough. Tho sklni.dng system Is thu easiest. Let som who are Urangors to tho flavor of tho birds try u dish, and I feel confident that tho verdict will bo that thoy nro richer in Uavor than tho lark, tho o.-blrd, or uvea tho snipe.

' I THE AGRICULTURALIST Newsy Notes Concerning: the Farm and of Especial Ioterost to the Pa cific Coast Husbandman, Be certain that there is plenty of wa ter where the cows are turned out to pasture. Clean, pure water is indis portable to the milch cow. Never wait for rain when you have a crop under cultivation. Keep right on cultivating and you will be Bur prised to find how your crop will with' stand the drought. Many farmers in weste'rn New York gave up the wool business as unproi itable long ago, but still keep sheep, and eny that keeping the mutton breeds is one of the best paying branches of farming. Tramping upon tho hoy in a barn nftn . unrBOa rf110 : rp from .... barn.var(1 into tho blirn and walk over the hay leaves odors which are quickly recognized by the animals when such hay is fed to them Uhoppeu clover-hay scalded is a cheap and excellent food for hogs, and they will thrive on it while growing, with but little grain. Bulky food is necessary for the distention of tho stomach, and there is nothing bo nu- tricious for that purpose as the scalded clover. The price o onions is lower tll;8 year than for gome time paBt Thia if) due t0 a iarge increase ot area planted throughout the east, and to an un usually large crop; the insects and diseases that usually attack the onion having been far less prevalent this J itnn ttn- unlinl Aer wmwr gnuu i mwu wieru io yet time to remedy defects of Boil and exposure, ii inure is a jenou in wie field it is probably the poorest part ot the lot, and one or more loads of ma' nure distributed over it will havo a wonderful effect, not alone upon the grain crop, but on the grass seeding. Good cider vinegar is alwaA's sala ble, and it pays to convert the surplus apple6 into cider for the purposo of making vinegar. The artificial vine gar cannot be used for choice pickles and other purposes for which good cider vinegar only is adapted, and does not, therefore, largely compete with it. Don't try to crowd 50 hens into a poultry house suitable for only 25, as the larger the flock the fewer the eggs, proportionately, unless they have perfect accommodations. As a rul small flocks givo a larger profit from the same outlay than when numbers are kept that, cannot be properly pro vided for. Parsnips, salsify and horseradish can remain in the rows where grown, as freezing does not injure them. If thoy are covered with litter, however, it will prevent sudden thawing around them in the spring. It is too much warmth that does injury in winter to such crops, rather than cold. A few warm days in winter may be more detrimental than beneficial The first signs of disease in a flock should prompt the herdsmen to at once remove all animals not affected to a new, clean location. It is better to kill an animal that is suspected of havintr a continuous -disease than to attempt a cure. Delay is dangerous Precaution in tho beginning is better than any work that can be done m at tempting to e fleet a cure after the die ease secures a hold. Must farmers who give no partial lar attention to horses usually drive with a loose rein. This is well enougl with the "old family horso," in whom you have po.Iect confidence, it is never safe, however, with a young and spirited horse. Never drive such an animal with so looso a rein that you cannot instantly command tho situa Hon, whatover happens. l'ork made trom a considerable por tion of applo diet is peculiarly sweet in flavor. Hogs will fatten more rap idly on sweet apples than sour, if ap ples aro principally depended upon but if grain is fed with apples the sour will do even better than tho sweet, as the acid will assist in tho di gestion of tho grain. It would bo bet tor to feed corn for a fow weeks before killing, to hnrdon tho pork. T California turkovs are raised in Hocks nuinbormg several thousand.

It is a mighty easy thing for a farmer to get stingy feeding a cow and beat him self out of dollars in trying to save cents." Amog the many purposes to which old wagon tires may be applied is the gate binge. An old tire, too much worn for further service in its original capacity, is cut in two at the middle, and the end of each piece is turned with an eye or socket to form half of a hinge. Then four inches from the socket tho bar is bent to an angle. The other ends of the two pieces aro then welded together in the form of a V, the width of the open end being governed by that of tho gate. The lower hinge is made in the usual man ner, with an upright pin at one end, and a thread and nut at the other. The upper one may be made in the form of a band, which is driven over tho gate-post and fastened by nails driven through holes punched for the purpose in tho band. When the corn is shelled the cobs are worth caring for for various use ful purposes. Thev make the best fuel for the smoke-house, giving the hams and bacon a delicate and agree able flavor, free from tho pungency of oak and other wood, which contains much acid. When steeped in kero sene oil they make good kindling for tires, and they are equally good for this purpose when saturated with solution of one pound of saltpeter in two gallons of water and dried. They then burn fiercely, giving out quick heat sufficient to kindle a coal hre But they are also good for feeding, as they contain as much nutriment as straw, and where straw is scarce the whole years may be ground together with advantage. Tho husks are stil more nutricious, and may be ground up with the ears in mills made for that purpose. In storing celery for winter small quantities for family use can be stored in boxes bv first boring inch holes four inches from the bottom at each end and side of the box. Turn the box on end and pack the celery in layers the narrow way of the box. To each layer of celery in position sprinkle over the roots only enough earth to mulch them well. Continue until the box is full. When you set the box down shake or iar the box to settle the dirt among the roots of the plants. Then take a watering pot with nozzle and pour water through the augur holes in tho ends until all of the soil is thoroughly saturated, and 'tis done. The box can be set in any convenient niche of the cellar, and only needs occasional watering (al ways through the auger holes) to have a supply of crisp, tender celery at thort notice, without the trouble of grubbing in the frozen ground and exposing both yourself and the whole 1st of celery in the trench. The increasing use of windmills for pumping water, etc., suggests that they could be mado tho foundation of a tiro department on the farm, that would prove efficient in many cases. Three-fourths of the farm conflagra tions aro discovered so early that the prompt application of 20 gallons of water, would put out tho fire. But it is impossible to get water booh enough when it must bo carried to the garret or loft in buckets. With a 14-foot windmill and a strong double-acting force-pump, a continuous stream may be forced a thousand feet and to a hight of a hundred feot. But as the windmill and well are usually near the house and barn, it would rarely be necessary to have the water forced farther than two hunnred feet or raised higher than fifty feet. The pipes are, of course, brought near to if not into, the barn and house. And with a few feet of hose attached to the hydrant in the yard or building, amp ply of water sutlicient at .the critical moment, would be at command. The hose could be taken through windows i or doors. If it is fcard that at such a In. in llinrn ltiiclil. nrl. t i.rinurrli rria'n to operate the windmill, we have only ono intollcct maJ' Provo ruinous to an to remember, how often an account of a , othor- Thy who Prescribo courses of conflagration also says "a stiff breeze" .! or a strong gaio was blowing at the ' time. When there is not enough air i stirring to operate the windmill, a fire may bo readily subdued by buckets of! water. When largo quantities of roots are to bo stored and there is not cellar room for this purpose, it is far better to construct pits than to fill the cellar of one's dwelling houso with a general assortment of roots and vegetable to vitiato tho air of tho entire house. If it is properly constructed, roots will keop bottor in a pit than in an ordi nary cellar. The pits aro dug three or four feot deep, six feot wido and as long as needed. Tho roots are stacked in these, beginning at tho end of tho pit, and following two feet of its length ; a space of six inches is elt, and anot'ier section of two feet is built up, aud so on, in each case piling the roots up to the ground level; tho snaces are then filled in with n.irtli. -...I u ... ...in .. : r 'i blJU l.lll lli;OUlJI II DUUl'O Ui DUli- tlOtIS of two feet of roots and six inches I of earth.

Within tho last three months nearlv a hundred orphan boys under 12 years of ago havo been brought to Findlay and Fostoria, Ohio, to work in tho glass factories.

United Presbyterian. Upward of 2,000,000 of tho youth of India nro to-day receiving a liberal English education. For tho most part it is purely secular.

What wo nro doing for tho childroa to-day, wo aro doing for the Nation to morrow. This is tho teacher's field of work, and it is a grand ono. Let tho politician work upon tho grown-up men all ho may; ho can do little, after all that Is, in improving them mentally and morally. Thoy havo passed th plastic stago.
