I*')* 5 Mania From Waxhlnjrtaa. J. L. Cunningham U the aenior mem ber of the Boston Arm which nearly en joys a monopoly In supplying ma«U for vessels built on the Atlantic coast. Twenty years ago, says Mr. Cunningham, vessels were smaller than now and tim ber for masts could be had in New Hamp shire and Maine. When the forests there were thinned out they fell back on Michi gan- But of late years the demand has been for larger masts than oven the pine then) furnished, and the northern pine forests of Washington were called upon. These are loaded into a chartered vessel and shipped to Boston around the Horn. Mr. Cunuinglmin ships cne cargo a year in this way, and ho has only got one com petitor. Ho is now on his way to Port Blakely, Wash., to Bupcrintcod the load ing of a vessel which has a capacity of 1,400,000 feet of lumber. “The Northern pine," he says, “Is next to tho w..ite nak in strength, and has double the strength of the Eastern pine. 1 buy nothing over 115 foot in length, hut we could get masts 150 foel long if wo wanted. It it little troubto to get a stick 150 foet long without a knot. Tho lumber business in Washing ton is extremely dull, and half tho mills along tho Puget Bound are idle. A stick that cost HI 10 a year ago can lie bought fo-day for #00. The reason! The Boutli American and Australian markets havo been overstocked, and there Is no do- lnairl. Tho markets are glutted.

Bill narrow aud notched to keep the fish from slipping tho wrong way; these are tho fish ducks, known ns mergansers—-beautifully piumngod ducks not often shot with us.

Uctiso Imvo the scnlcH on tho shins hexa gonal (reticulate), while those on the ducks simply lap, like a shingled roof.

There are places were ducks feed and places where they do not, though ordinarily onu cannot see why one is not so good ns the otlioi But tliuro are times when ducks are everywhere and anyono who shoots may hare a fine day’s spurt with little prep aration.

Hold well ahead. It is fall nuil flight combined, remember, as lie sweeps to the water's surface. Hix to eight foet is not too far if the range is long. The koy to success may lie largely in concealment. Never dress conspicuously. If you can, keep your drab coat outside, and for ex tra warmth put on more woolen under wear. Bkulk low if auy killed ol wouudod float, for most ducks- espec ially teals and red heads, , irclo again 'vet fallen friouds, oven after they may nave gone miles away. Oil dreaiy days, with a northwest wind threatening cold or snow, ducks leave tho prairies, Helds and ponds fo,r the sheltered creeks and “hug the lee shore in a storm.” It may bo well to remember that ducks are said always to alight against the wind, and that you are inoio likely to kill if you fire just ns they are about to drop than if you wait till they have iottlcd. Of course it is well to have a retriever when shooting ducks, hut there are.limes when It is too cold to use one much with out groat cruelty, especially if lie cannot lie allowed exorcise. A waterspaniol is good, a Chesapeake Bay dog hotter, but if only occasional hunter your bird dog should lie trained to answer. The best I ever saw was a pointer though that was eertainly exceptional. You arc apt to give your hunter rheumatism with much of iliissport. Always reshoot a wounded duck till disabled, and do not chill or discourage your dog by a long, useless chase, unless you are training a puppy. Wounded ducks often take to tho grass and hide deftly, when any dog that can trail will prove useful. It is well to learn to know by the style of flight whether ducks are alighting near or going on by. If the flocks aro high — all tending tho same way, uiain- tainiog a coust.iut attitude, shape, ami •toady wing beat, you had belter slay as homo that day, but if they swoop down and up, break their graceful flock-shipe and change direction often, tlion it is not “vainly the fowler’s eye might mark thy flight to do theu harm," as Bryant has it, for they intend alighting some where i.oar. One, too, should know something of the habits of individual species to be ab'e to luttit them success fully. This can only come of experience. While nl! ducks feed promiscuously hud dled, the various kinds soon flock to gether in their flight. Mallards may ho known by their size, pintails i the tail plumes, leal by smallness aud rapid wing, wood dock hv ronsmeiious n-arkiimsand others by the sound made when fright; enod or the peculiar whistle of tho wing or curve of flight. It requires close ob- servsttion lor all this. America is so rich in her varieties of this game that it takes an expert to classify many species of this game after they are in hand. Canvas-backs, have a curiosity like that of the antelcpc. of the plains, and tail he induced sometimes to swim near shore by I ho display of some bright, moving object. Little dogs are some times trained tn roil ludicrously in view of flocks, while the hunter lies in wait ing. This is a trick said to have been learned from tho fox, who practises it upon tho ducklings. Mallards decoy readily; so also do teal and red-heada, and all may be caused to come lower down by use. of some of the excellent calls that can now be purchased. Hotno- times flocks can lie made to swerve fur ther in shore by placing somu conspicuous object far out, which they avoid, und the hunter in Cornfield shooting, which is very uncertain sport, can sometimes tie his horse for similar effect. A few de coys well arrnnged are, of course, a great help, but on wuter tievor set thoir heads down Wind. A duck differs from a horso in this respect as well as others. If you know favorite resorts build,before the birds come, blindH ol brush of corn- fodder, or sink a barrel flush with the surface. Fine sport can sometimes bo obtained by having someone row you around among the little swampy oitliarios, specially in the spring after tho mallards hove paired but not yet departed. In shallow reed beds or among tho wild celery you can often wade out In high rubbors and have some good shots. The wood duck, which, like tho poor, is always with us, docs not decoy well, and its call is simply itiimitablo. In sneaking along the banks of streams watch well the bonds or pools near a largo log. The “water-gap" Is a favor ite place. Bo far as my knowledge goes this is ttie.only dink that perches away from its nest, ho you can look well on over hanging branches or loga projecting from the water. It ticsls in ln e<. Tho block duck also breeds in tho Boutli,an 1 the buttcrlmll also breeds in trees. Tho gnd-well breeds anywhere, but Alaska and ttm Northwest are favorite resorts of most of the species. I have friglit- cnc I (lie pintail truni her nest on the prarics of Dakota, whence in sad plumage, barely able to lly, sho betook herself to the lakelet tlmt is always near. Hybrids of litis bird and the mallard nave been frequently taken, and it lias been proved tlmt theaO breed among themselves. Ou these Northwestern lakes the young are found alnindantlyju Hit) middle summer, where thoy thrive, and grow adept at hiding among the reeds. The stylo of duck ncsls vary with tltu species, but with a few exception t they tiro all 11mid with feathers from tltu birds’ breast. The blackhead Inis only Ii few ruilo sticks, while the uest of the eider is at the other extromo of comfort. At first this downy lining is .exclusively Irom the mother’s plumes, but when tho rapacious down hunters exhaust tlmt the drake “bares liis breast" in the interest nf posterity.

HrlnR Sailors assert l hat sea birds may be seen fluttering under a raiu cloud and driuk- ing tho drops as they descend. They further assert tlmt those birds discorn a rain storm from ouonuous distances and flock toward it from every point of tbo compass. lu all probability, however, this is one of tlio many tales of tho soa which are more picturesque than vera cious. The power of flying possessed by oauy sea birds is so enormous that they iro, practically speaking, never nut of the roach of Iresli water; but this re mark cannot apply to such comparative- y feeble wanderers of tho ocean as the wormy petrols, which aro fouud in its remotest parts.

But something must, be used under this covering to pre vent a loaded wagon from shaking tho support and So cracking* the concrete. This protection will be afforded by laying three inch planks over the logs,nnd then covering these with the floor of concrete. Lighter planks might do, if a fuw incites of enrth or gravel he laid on them, amt tho concrete then laid down. The earth would give tho requisite elasticity to the wagon way. The coocrotu is made by mixing the sand, first heated ou a sheet- iron pan, with the hot tar, until the tar is ail absorbed nnd will not run. This is then rolled firmly aud clcun sand is spread ou to bike up the surplus tar as it may work to thu tup. Boating with a fiat plank rammer will do as well as the roller.—New Yoik Times.

TRASK FOK I'lOS. One of the most profitshlc crops for pigs that can he plautud in the spring of the year is pease, and land cannot be made to produce any crop that returns so much to tlio owner. The pease may he raked, stacked and fed to the pigs from the stack, or the swine may be turned into tlio field and allowed to eat what they will. In t ie early part of August those that are ueedei fur seed should he gathered. On every five acre of pea ground turn about twenty-five pigs loose, nnd if they havo been foV little corn through tho summer they will be in line condition for the first mark#! Tlio first market v- always tho best, and the first pigs iliac are battened on the pcaso will save the corn for other pur poses, lu addition to this the laud after the pigs havo eaten the pease from it will be iu excellent condition for winter wheat. The best soil for the field pease is moderately rich,sandy loi n, and timothy sod mi such soil can bo turned over for the crop very successfully. O i low, wet cold grounds (lie pea vines will not thrivo well ouuugh to warrant one iu planting them. Too rich soil is had for them, for tlio plants go all to vine, and produce no pease. The oarlier the seed bed is plowed and prepared in the spriug the better the crop will be. T .vo bushels of common pease should lie sown bro.) least to the acre, ami then dragged in well. If properly soivu they will soon cover the field witn a green mantle. The pea vines ami the pig manure conch the soil, aud the hoofs of the animals pulverize it so that the field is a most excellent one for winter wheat in the fall of the year. IVa vine ensilage is a valuibio food, rot only for pigs, but for cattle and the famous Southern cow pea can be planted with great advantage on many soils. It is a fine crop for enrichin { and Improv ing the mechanical conditions Of the ground, and the ensilage which it makes s considered a* valuablo nearly tW that Of Corn. Land that is devoted to cow peas iri the summer can also be seeded down to wheat very successfully in the fall. Tho sweet, succulont ensilage will also make a fine ration for the animals all through the winter. On the whole, the value of pease and pea vines has noit been justly appreciated by many farmers and stock breeders. Like clover, the plants enrich the soil while supplying the ani mals with food.—American Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The perfoct apple is of medium size.
