the most feasible: The water was

workmen and their utensils, was grad

were then attached to the pipe and ma
terial was drawn up on tho outside,
while the men performed their work,
using the raft for a platform.

Itemi of (leneral Interest Gleaned
From the Thriving 1'aclflo
State!.
The Country'! Apple Crop.
In connection with demand in the
East and in Europe for our fruit, we
quote from the Orange Judd Farmer in
iegard to the extent of the apple) crop:
This crop in the United States is smal
ler than it has boon since reliablo sta
tistics have boon collected, l'lio total
supply from the 181)8 crop of tho Unit
ed States is 2 7,000,000 barrels, as com
pared with something over 40,000,000
barrels last year and 70,000,000 in the
record-breaking crop of 1890. The fail
ure is widespread, reaching from the
Pacific coast to 'Maine, and in none of
the states does the output of fruit ap
proach an average. (This is not true,
however, whore the crop is not a fail
ure). In the great apple states of the
Central West the crop is almost a total
failure, although the situation in Mich
igan is better than ulesewhore, having
about two-thirds of the bumper crops
of 1800. New York has only one-fifth
of a full crop. Tho failure is attributed
to the fact that during tho blooming
season there was an excessive rainfall,
which washed out the pollen and pre
vented proper fertilization by insects,
while a cold wave added to the injury,
and subsequent moist, humid weather
was very favorable to the development
of fungus diseases. The Ontario crop
is decidedly short. The crop of Europe
is reported below the normal.
Idaho! Mineral Output.
The mines of Idaho have shared the
general prospority of the state. In
every section of the commonwealth new
Btrikes were made during the year just
closed, and many of them have de
veloped into promising properties.
The stato's mineral prtwluction for 1808
is $1,659,570 more than it was Inst
year, and 13,603,010 more than in
1806. J. W. Cunningham, superin
tendent of the United States assay oflice
at lloian, lias made an estimate of the
production of the state for the past
year, upon which the foregoing com
parison is based. Tho following gives
the actual .production for ,1807, and
the estimated production for 1808:

A flour milling company, to be
known as the M. M. & 13. Co., has just
been incorporated at Chelan Fulls.
The incorporators are Messrs. li. T.
Murdock, James .Marshall and George
D. Brown. It is their purpose, to at
once inaugurate the building of a 100
barrel flour mill at the falls, although
but 50-barrel machinery will be put in
at the start. When it is remembered
that at . present there is but one flour
mill between Wilbur and the Cascade
mountains, in an area considerably
more than 100 miles square, it 'will be
seen that the present move means a
large and profitable business from the
start.
Olive Crop.
A Los Angeles Times man writes
to his paper that throughout a great
pait of Southern California the olive
crop is this year a complete failure.
At Fallbrook, in San Diego county,
the large acreage of olive trees on the
lied Mountain ranch represents a con
siderable production of the fruit,
though neighboring orchards are bar
ren. Beginning at Santa Paula, and
extending westward through Santa
Barbara county, there is a territory em
bracing several large orohards, in
which the trees are laden with heavy
crops. This constitutes the production
of Southern California for the present
year.

The consumption of gas in that city

necessitating an increased capacity.
Twenty thousand dollars will also be
spent at Butte, Mont., in doubling the
capacity of the gas works there, which
are controlled by tho Spokane company.

One-Man Crosscut Saw.
Moat crosscut saws are made with
two handles and are Intended to be
used by two men, but it Is frequently
desirable on the farm to have the saw
available for use by a single man. Logs
to be sawed may be too large for the
bucksaw and a sharp, one-man crosscut
will saw almosit if not fully as fast as a
bucksaw and without the back-breaking
effect. In any event, whether a
saw Is to be used by one or two men, It
Is an advantage to have one end of It
furnished with a two-handod handje.
Some small crosscuts are made with
such a handle at one end (Fig. 1), but If
not, the ordinary handle can be re
moved from any broad-bladed saw and

Taking: Off Hidea.
The National Piovisiouer, speaking
of removing the skins from cattle and
calves, gives the following hints, which
It will pay any farmer or stock raiser
to take note Of, for even though one
may not kill an animal for eating pur
poses, no one Is so fortunate to never
lose one by accident or disease. In
skinning beef hides nnd calf Kkins keep
the back of the knife close to the hide
and draw it tightly with the left hand.
By following this suggestion the lia
bility to cut or score Is considerably
lessened. On the foreleg the knife
should go down to the armpit, so called,
and then forward to the point of the
brisket On the hind leg the cut should
be made from the hoof of one down to
the back of the leg, seml-circularly
across one to the other, and on to the
other, and on the hoof. The throat
should never be cut crosswise, and the
born and tall bones should always be
removed. The Operation of salting
Is equally Important. To salt hides
thoroughly a water-bucket full of good
salt should be used to each sixty
pound hide, the quantity for large and
small hides being In proportion. After
this they, should, e rubbed. Rjnd rolled

each 30 feet of ditch. Throw dirt out,
leaving a ditch 2 feet wide, 1 foot deep
or a little over; on these banks sow or
plant blue grass or red clover to hold
the banks. Then plant two rows of
trees 0 feet from these ditches, prune
up to be bushy and thrifty, and then If
you wish you can set grape vines along
the ditches about 2 feet off. Let rows
of trees be 13 feet apart each way, and
you have your orchard fixed so as to
turn your hogs In when you wish, to
pick up all the fallen fruit. By this
method you will make both ends meet.
The hogs will become healthy and fat,
your trees will be free from borers and

Improve the roads It simply taxes both
city and country for that purpose. A
road Is really the property of the State;
In one sense, as It Is free to the resi

wait for State aid to improve the
