TELEGRAPH POLES.
THE BUSINESS IN THEM 18 QUITE
AN INDUSTRY.
One Miobigan Town Handles 300,000
Poles a Year.
The Western Union Telegraph Com¬
pany has its polo headquarters for tho
central district Routed in this city, says
a Manroc, (Mich.) letter to the Chi¬
cago Herald. This is the grand center,
the depot, tho distributing poiut for
the territory extending from Pitts¬
burg westward to Omaha and south¬
ward to the Gulf of Mexico, but the
lines of the district are sharply drawn
and poles arc often shipped from here
to Atlantic coast points and to the
Pacific coast and shipments have been
made to Mexico and Central America.
The yard where the polls arc handled
includes about a dozen acres of land
and is situated east of the city at the
bead of the government canal, through
which the river Basin flows to Lake
Eric. From forty to two hundred
men and anywhere from a dozen to
forty teams are constantly employed
in the operations, ard the business is
one of the leading industries of the
town. The number of poles handled
here in the course of a year is simply
immense, entire forests passing
through every season.
At the present time the stock ol
poles on hand is low', the receipts
since navigation closed last fall having
been but nominal, but in the autumn,
when the yards are full, the value ol
the poles in stock often nun up to 1
quarter of a million dollars. The
po.’es, nothing but cedar used, straight,
clean and sound to the core, are
brought in from northern Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, in fact, from
any part of the country where cedar
grows and can be shipped,
if They are shipped in by vessel front
tip the lakes and by rail, but the bulk
of them are towed into tho river in
mammoth sack ami crib tafts that con¬
tain from 6000 to 20,000 poles each.
Many poles are also received from the
Canadian shores, but instead of being
clean and ready for immediate uso
these have left on them five or six feet
of the rough bark at the butt ends.
This bark is left 011 not through any
oversight on the part of the lumber¬
men. It is carefully arranged. Witli-
out the bark the poles would be a man¬
ufactured article subject to duly, but
with it on the pole is still in the eyes
of the government a rough log, raw
material, and not taxed.
The poles are all purchased by con¬
tract, and are worth from $1.15 to $7
each, delivered at the docks. They
must be absolutely straight and sound,
and any that are not up to the specifi¬
cations arc rejected by the inspectors,
who are in constant attendance during
the receiving season. There arc sev¬
eral sawmills near tho yards, where
the defective poles are purchased and
cut up into fence posts, lumber and
shingles. The perfect poles range in
length from 25 to 60 feet, and upon
being received arc assorted and piled
up according to size, ready for ship¬
ment upon requisition from headquar¬
ters.
These piles, when the yard is full,
are often 200 feet long and sixty and
seventy feet high, and a single pile
will represent the product from an en¬
tire cedar swamp. The poles are all
shipped out by rail in response to or¬
ders, ami go to all parts of tho coun¬
try as needed. The short poles are
used for new lilies and for railroad
service while tiie longer poles go to
cities and to the reconstruction and
repair of the great trunk telegraph
lines where many wires must be sup¬
ported.
The life of the average telegraph
pole is 14 years, and those in a posi-
tion to know say that the number in
actual service today through the terri¬
tory supplied from this city is upward
of four millions. About three hun¬
dred thousand poles are handled here
every year, and the number is steadily
increasing as tho territory become!
more thickly settled and Die telegraph
mileage becomes greater.
Useful Bugs.
B. M. Lelong, who has been visiting
the East, looking up parasites and
studying the habits of insect pests,
made au important discovery in Wash.
ington, D. C . in the grounds of the
United States Department of Agricul-
turs, almost directly under the win-
dows of the Entomological Department
itself. In walking through the
grounds lie noticed a lady-bug feeding
on the aphi*, and on closer examina-
tion lie discovered that it was devour-
ing the aphis, and that it also
as fast or nearly a* fast as the wonder-
ful Vedalia that has almost entirely
exterminated the cottony cushion scale
of this state. This lady-bug is the
Adalia bipunctatc, of which Mr.
long captured as many as lie could
find, making two lurge colonies, one
of which lie rent to Col. Dobbing at
San Gabriel, and the other to Mr.
Runyon, near Sacramento. This lady-
bug feed* both on the scale and othei
insect*, and it is to be hoped that it
will prove a great help in clearing up
the scale* and aphis of this section.

MOW TO TETIIKU A COW.
A rope is not fit to stake a cow with;
it becomes drabbled with dew, still'and
kinked, and soon wears out. A trace
chain answers (lie purpose well, and
may bo lengthened or shortened ac¬
cording to the intervals between the
tices. A chain much over tenor
twelve feet long is apt to entangle the
animal's legs and throw it down, caus¬
ing injury. The 6fakepin should be of
iron, at least a foot long, with a very
sharp point and at the top a groove
around it, in which works a link. This
link is compressed in (lie middle, the
outer end receiving tho chain, tho in¬
ner part playing around tiie pin, so
preventing the chain from becoming
wound up. A stout leather strap
around the horns contains an iron
ring into which the stake chain fastens
with a snap. At night, when the cow
is led to her stall, this is snapped out.
and the stall chain snapped in.—[Ohio

SOUK FEET IX SI1KE1*.
The foot of a sheep has a peculiar
secretive gland and a duct through
which a v iscid secretion escapes be¬
tween (be claws. This is known as
the interungulate gland and canal. It
is lived with short hairs by which the
secretion is at times gathered into a
sticky mass mixed with tho hair and
the duct is stopped. This causes in¬
flammation of Die foot and lameness.
The feet should be examined from
time to time, and if necessary
so as to keep this di et free. No doubt
if tlfis is neglected the secretion being
absorbed and causing the inflamma¬
tion, foot rot may result, with the
loss of Die hoofs through neglect.
The treatment of Die lameness, which
if, no doubt, due to the gathered mass
of hair and sticky matter observed,
should be as follows: Soak Die feet
in warm water, clean them well with a
small sliff brush and carbolic soap;
free the duct from the obstacle and ap¬
ply carbolated vaseline between the
claws. K> ep the sheep in a dry, clean
place with sufficient litter and the
trouble will soon disappear without
further remedies. No medicine is re¬
quired.-[New York Times.

eggs, is an excellent forager, scorns
the corn bin, and will not sit all day
waiting at the door of the corn crib
for its ration, and ulthough weighing
only four or five pounds, yet costs less
than half as much to rear as the eight
ten pound birds of the larger breeds.
But in the craze for something new
this good, old-fashioned, handsomo
bird is neglected.
The old favorite has not died off by
the cholera cither; it is not subject to
that disease which prevails among the
always hungry, ravenous, and glutton¬
ous breeds which ruin their livers by
gorging themselves with food. Nor
is it given to brooding persistently
and sitting on stones for weeks when
an attempt is made to break them up.
The Dominique hen makes her nest
and sits her sit out and brings out her
full brood of a dozen or more chicks,
which she rears safely by ler excel¬
lent care and feeds plentifully by her
active foraging.
Nor does she trample liar little
chicks by fussy uneasiness when her
owner gees around or makes them
wild by her unnecessary cluttering
when there is no danger, while, fierce
in battle, she will discomfit a hawk
and save her brood from the preda¬
tory cat. Take her all in all, the Dom¬
inique hen deserves to be favorably
mentioned when one is considering
what fowls he shall procure to dis¬
place the iazy corn eaters, which cost
more than they como to.—[New York

STOCK FARMING WITHOUT EGGS.
1 have known sheep-owners to band
together, and taking matters into fheit
own hands, rid a section of tho coun¬
try of the sheepkilling pests in short
order. Of course there arose a great
shriek of anger and dismay from Die
dogmen, but it quickly died away, and
the shcepraising industry increased
apace. 1 have proved over and over
that stock of any kind can be ti ained
to come to a call, and to follow their
keeper more easily than a dog can be
trained to drive them properly.
Driving, especially by a dog, means
worrying, crowding and hustling, and
consequent loss of flesh.
Leading means gentleness, moder¬
ation, quiet, and full benefit of all
food consumed. Stock moved about
the farm by driving are always moie
or less wild and fearful of abuse.
Those moved by leading are quiet,
easily handled, anil almost without
fear. Dogs have uo place on a stock-
farm.
Wc once owned what we considered
a very fine dog, and were very fond of
him. lie was one of tho quiet, peacc-
able, stay-at-home sort. When tve re¬
tired at night he would be lying on the
doorstep, and when we arose in Die
morning he was there to greet us.
That he would kill a sheep, or even
dreamed of it, never entered our heads.
Yet this same innocent dog was shot
at midnight while worrying a sheep
in a pen four miles distant from home,
That incident destroyed my sympathy
for dogs, and I have had no use for
them since. Let sheepmen combine
and secure the enactment of a law
taxing male dogs $2 each, and female
dogs $5 each, and in a few years there
will not be one dog kept where there
aro now 100. But first let them de¬
stroy their own dogs, and prove that
slock can be handled without canine
assistance, and then they will have at
least one argument that will be worth
something to them.—[New York Ex¬

Oil From Wood.
A French scientific jcurnal states that

den, is becoming year by year a more im¬
portant industry. Those parts of the
trees which have hitherto bien regarded
as useless, euch as the stumps and roo's,
are no longer left in the fore>t to rot, but
are subjectc 1 to various methods of treat¬
ment, by which not only wood oil,
but also turpentine, creosote, acid
of vinegar charcoal, and tur, are
obtained from them. The oil, as it is
now usually ex meted, can not be
burnt in ordinary lamps, for it smokes too
much. But it may be used in special
lamps, which are not dissimilar to the
usual easily photogen adapted lamps. The oil, latter and when can
