Michael Harwood was an i artist by
profession one of those erratic, irreg
ular geniuses .who seldom make much
money, yetpf ssess nature's genuine
: gold. He paiU little attention to the
buz of the neighbors, the sarcasms of
his siscr-in-Jw. and the criticisms of
the worKT in general but painted se
renely on, diiosing of his pictures at
h'diciouly small prices as fast as they
were laid off his easel. '

THE EXPERIENCE OF A SALEM
MAN WITH SHEEP ON Tilt,
SHARES.;
(From Pacific Homestead).
Il.-H. Vandevort, of Sal cm. started
into the sheep business about six years
ago. He was then a mere boy, work
ing for! wages in the stores. He bought
a few sheep and put them out on the
shares. I The next year he bought
a few more, and saved what he had al
ready bought. So he has kept on, until
he uowj has 700 sheep, all out on the
shares , I in Polk, Marion and Clacka
mas counties.; He 'has made at least
forty per cent, on all the money he
has putj into sheep, anfl from bis earn
ings hci has bought two lots and built
houses on them, and owns them now.
Mr, Vandevort lets bis sheep to
farmers! who will promise to take care
of them! for half the increase and half
the wool, and make up for the loss of
the old sheep. In this way, many farm
ers have got started into the rasing
of sheep tana gooa sneep; una
might not have done so otherwise.
Seldom has be found a farmer who was
willing to take sheep on the shares
more than one year, t However, one
rr n Viiive had them three vearS. Gen-
v , rr r v. . . . - - - j
erally, the farmel wants only bis own
sheep alter ne nas got a start.
Mr. Vandevort raises Cotswolds. lie
has graded them up for six years. He
has always used only full-blcoded Cots
wold bucks. '" He culls his sheep ev-
f11 : tr : L nif alt the
V I J tail. " v j - r
wethers ami o!d. sheep and individuals
that have not proved satisfactory for
any reason. He fattens the culls on
stubble, and then sells them for
mutton. Last fall he sold his culls
for $4 a head all around.
He runs 1ms sheep in small! bunches;
never over fifty or sixty. He believes
in small bands. They shear heavier
and raise more lambs. In large bunch
es, the weaker ones do not have a
chance: Thfv remain weak. He has
never had a diseased sheep. ; He does
not allow them. to run on low lands,
where the water is liable to be stag
nant. This would subject them to
leeches. He says sheep want good,
clear water. 1 Some shtep owners put
them cm summer fallow without water.
They have the impression that the
sheep do not need water. Mr. Vande
vort thinks this is a mistaken idea. He
likes high land for sheep. They are
not so subject to disease 00 high land.

ITEMS FROM BROOKS.
A Wedding and Otherj News Notes
; Gathered in That riace:
Brooks (Or.) March & The wed
ding of Mrs. S. L. Lytle 'to S. T. lid
len, both of this place, occurred on
February th. The interesting cere
mony took place at J p. ai. at rh home
of Harrison Jones, in the presence of
a few invited 'guests, RetC Pederson of
6ciating. 'After many corrgTatulatioins
the guests -were invited to the dining
room to paruke of a 4ountiful mpper
of many delicacies, prepared by the
bride and Mrs. Jones. On the follow
ing evening fome forty or fifty of the
ncig-hbors gathered at the door of their
abode and sang. "There's No Place
'Like Iome,f and other selections.
The bride, came to the door. ' saying,
"It is more pleasant inside." The vis
itors congratulated the happy couple
and spent the evening'Sn. their beauti
ful home and with conversation, mu
sic and literary selections, whiled away
a pleasant hour, when most delicious
refreshments were served the visitors.
At a rate hour all departed, having
spent a most enjoyable evening, and
none regretied their coming.' i
Mrs. ,S. Ritmp, of Salem, came down
to visit her son's family on Saturday.
George Bolter left last Friday for
Hood River, where he has employment
in a sawmill,
Howard Ramp was visiting near the
poor farm fcr several days this week.
Miss May Ramp lias been quite sick
the pas wet ki
Miss Clare Jones was a passenger for
Salem on . Sjaturdayj. fv "
John ImMi came tin from Portland
on Friday ivening tot attend the 4d
wedding anniversary 'of ' his : parents,
which occurred on 'Sunday. AH the
children of the fanviljr ;were at home
except their daughter; Lou. ' .
The large! t crane seen here this sea
son was shot and killed by John Fvans
last Friday. The irtl .measured 6 feet
8 inchca from tip to iip, and stood 5
feet high. - i ' " ' . ' ' '
DEEP SEA PRESSURE. .
The Effect It Has Upon the Physical
Constitution ! of Fth.
The temperature at 'tiie bottom of
ie ocean is nearly down to 'freezing
point, and sometimes actually tjc'low it.
There is a total absence, of 'light,' as
far as sunliglit is concerned, and there
is an enormous pressure, reckoned at
about a ton to the square inch in ev
ery 1,000 fathoms, -which is 160 times
greater t'han that of the atnxjsphere
we live in. At 2,500 fathoms the pres
sure is tliirty times more powerful than
the steam press-tire of a locomotive
wlren drawing a train.
An late as 1880 a leading ooIogiVal ex
pert explained the existence- of deep-sea
animals at such details by assuming
that their bodies were composed of
solids and liquids of great density, and
contained no air. .This, however, is
not the case with decp-sca fish, whicl
are provided with ajr-inflated swim
ming bladders; .
If one of these fish, in full chase af
ter its prey, happens! to ascend , beyond
a certain level, its . bladder becomes
distended with the decreased pressure,
and carries it, in spite of its efforts,
still higher in its. course; in fact, mem
bers of this unfortunate class are like
ly to become victims to the unusual ac
cident of falling upward, and no doubt
meet violent death , after leaving their
accustomed level, and Jong beiorc
their bodies reach the surface in a dis
torted and unnatural state. Even
ground, sharks, brought up from . a
depth of no more than 500 fathoms,
expire before they gain the itjrface.
At the State
fair Grounds.
- (Frorn Pacini: Homestead).
A Homestead representative visited
the Oregon state fair grounds on Mon
day. . He found L C. Moshcr, who has
charge of the- grounds, busy with the
improvements that! he is making there,
and with his horsesof which ric ha
twenty-four. Mrj 'Mosher has- had
charge of the grounds Ksi nee the first
of last October. I In 1 fact, he took
charge-of the track ten days before the
races of the last fiir, and hi manage
ment pleased the members of the board
so well thaV they solicited himto as
sume the management of the gr6unds.
He has been a f ery busy ' man vcr
since He has ninety acres in hay and
oats, and he has torn away all the old
icnccs and rubbish and replaced the
fences with new. j In every part of the
grounds and on the farm, "there is evi
dence of the work of a provident and
thrifty hand. There is a wonderful
improvement in the general appearance
of things. Thejre is no longer the
tumble-down appearance on all sidef
Mr.Moiihcr has certainly accomplished
wonders in this lihe. Vfsitors at the
next fair will ber pleasantly surprised,
"or Mr. Mother is not nearly through
with the "slicking up", process that he
has inaugurated.,!
At the head A the twenty-four fine
horses which Mt. Moshcr has at the
grounds, all his own horses excepting
three, which will be noted, is, oi course,
Coeur d'Alene. He is in- many
respects tfic most remarkable horse in
the stale. " " j - ; :
Next to Coe.ur d'Alene are two' of
his ha!i-sisern. JNoonday Be Ke . and
Stambrul Belle,,; which belong to "the
S. C. Reed estate. Mr, Mother is put
ting them in condition for driving; and
they make one of the finest trams that
any man eer drew lines over.
Next i MarklAlcne, a four-year-old
gelding. . .. ;
Then cpms King I-e, out of King
Patcfccn. He isive year old. and be
longs to A. E. Pat tee, who is in the
employ of Mr. Mosher; at the-ground.
Nexty Athalefie, a three year old
trotter.
. Then: Kathaleoe, a two year old trot
ter .-v 1 ': .'. "- .- :v ,
, Next comes Andel. by Del Norte.
She is a two year old pacer.
After her, Emrnaiene, a three year
- old trotttex.
Then there is ;a two year old trotter,
by Coeur d'Alene, out of Queen patch
en. This two year old ha not been
named yet, but she deserves a good one.
Then comes Hazel K., a three year
old pacer. ;
? After Iier, a three year -old pacer, a
ge!d;n?, named jl. C. r
Last, a three year old trotter, by
Alugo. He ha been named Wm. N-.
after Bili Nf smith, who requested
this.:- '';" '" i '
The r other horses and brood marcs i
of Mr. Mosher ire yet running out in
the pasture. j
The state fair grounds will soon be
a very busy p!ace, for many of the fine
horses of the Northwest will be tlrcre
in training, to ; lake advantage of
the finest track on the coast. J. V.
Shannon, of Albany, will be down with
his horses about the 15th.
As 'soon as the tarck is ready a num
ber of horses will be up from Portland,
and other$ will - conic from ail- over
Oregon and Washington. It -will not
take long to put the track in order,
once the weather clears up.
; The horsemen highly appreciate the
fact that such- an experienced man as
Mr. Mosher, and such a lover of horses,
is in. charge oi the track'. j

CAUBOL1.NEUM AVXNAIUUS.
The 1 most radical remedy against
chicken lice nJ the , best wcod-pre-servlrff
paint Is Carbollneum Avenarl
ou manufactured In Oermany only.
The 'farmers all over the country
count amongst their heaviest expenses
to run the farm, the lumber bill. All
are undoubtedly Interested to Icarn ot
a medium to reduce the same at least
to haljr Its former cost. This medium
Is Carbolineuni Avensriou. wobd
preservlns paint based on 25 years ex
pcrience. Many are of the opinion tht
paint, tar and llnseJ oil will preserve
the wood against rot and decay. These
coatings only form an air-tlRht coyer,
but do not destroy the albumlnum
parts of the Wood, whrfl always start ,
the rot. The coating's with-shove men-,
tioned materials prevent the evapora
tion of the wood, and the consequence'
Is dry rot. Carbolineuni Avenarius, on
the cpiitrary. penetrates deeply Into
the wood and destroys all present, de
cay matters. The Carbollneum Avcna
rtus la applied with a brush and Im
parts a nice nut-brown! color to the
wood. It is used on the farm for paint
in jr barns, granaries, shingles, a4os
posts, brldsresi chicken eoops etc., and
all woodwork: above and below the
ground. Carbollneum Avenarius Is al
io the most j radical remedy tgalnst
chicken lice, lit you want plenty of
eggs and healthy chicken, the chick
ens must be free from lice and mites. ,
Carbollneum Avenarlus will i keep your
henhouse free from this plague. One
coat applied to the l.iside of the chick
on coop will keep it clean from vermin.
KeroHening and whitewashing, which
has to be repeated every nionth. Is
done away with and expentes for sul
phur and , Insect powder are saved.
Whoever dlsires further Information
about Carbollneum Avenarlus should
