The pest which threatens the pine forests of the Pacific North west has made its appearance. Os carde Camp, a Pleasant' Prairie, Wash., farmer, told the Spokane Chronicle what he observed of their work: "Last summer while out hunt ing with Beveral others in the for ests east of Pleasant Prairie, I no ticed that the pine trees up near the top of tho mountains ere lit erally covered with butterflies. I thought nothing more of the matter until last month I again was Up in the same locality and I then no ticed that the pine trees had all turned a rusty color and gave every" appearance of being dead. , Upon closer inspection, I found that these trees were fairly alive with a small green worm, which was eating the vory life out of the trees. I again returned there last Sunday, when I noticed that these little worms were being transformed into the white butterfly, similar to those ien last vear. ' "From "this I take it that the eeesof the-butterfly hatches into the worm in July, u""" the worms is transformed-0 kiiffnrflir tViot omin lava Ai?0 spread its eggs in the pine trees lor the following year s hatching. "I should s'av that in that vi cinity alone a thousand acres of pine timber has been destroyed by the pest since the worms appeared this summer. They don't appear to affect a fir or tamarack trees, but confine their destruction to the bull pine. If ' the worm should prove partial to the fruit trees, with the rapidity that they mul tiply, I predict that there would be not an orchard remaining in this country two years hence." BREVITIES.

MEXICAN BARLEY A SUCCESS. Experiments in a New Cereal In the Palouse CcUntry. The extended experiments made uro the new barle.v known as Mexican parley, has pr oven a grand success ar Odfax anil Pullman. This cereal ia a vef pjsuliar one. It is b'eardlew and neith er does it have any hull. Its color; is that ot frost bitten wheat and it would be mistaken for the same w e the . u-j r.i- whpftt avid not like those of 'other bar ley., me grains are as bard a bone" t'd as solid as a Bint. V . . , ; At Pullman the land upoii wmcn. it was planted watffoo- wt;t , wr wheat, nevertheless tfbef Aevr fe'raiD grew nicely and would Ivave iyw 82 bushels per aore had n not I en for letting it stand too log ai.r ripe. The field made ?6 btIws. per acre and the grain went 17t pounds per sacs, ou it ""; be seen that Mexican barley is a gteat producer. The grain is soex tremely bard that it will necessan 1 v have to be crushed before feed ing to either horses orfcattle and crushed and either soaked oS boiled for feed for hogs. The grain dense and contains such a large amount of nourishment that it w""l be necessarily fed in small feeds and with a large amount of hay. Samples of this barley have been sent to a number of different estab lishments an? if it can be used to advantage as a brewing barley, there is no doubt but that it will be extensively planted there next season. It will be planted upon the low, wet lands, while flax will bloom upon thei higher lands. heppner'stirred. A Church Row Culminates in the Arrest of the Pastor..
