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.

IIOW TO KKKP EXTRACTED HONEY. Extracted liorcy can be kept two years—perhaps longer—in unwaxed kegs made of staves riven from the heart of white oak, without any per¬ ceptible change in its flavor. It seems that other woods—the heart of old grow.h spruce, poplar and Norway pine of the North, tulip and cypress of the Middle and Southern Slates— in short, a iv kind of lumber that will not impart its flavor to any liquid com¬ ing in contact with it or produce acid- illation (as would result in using red oak, birch ov maple without waxing) would meet the same purpose.— f American Bee Journal, 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 Farmer. 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.

IN PRAISE OF THE O0.\!lNI^LE. One of the best fowls that was ever kept is tho Dominique. It is hand¬ some, tamo, prolific of eggs, as good tcA the table as the quarrelsome, flighty game, considered tho best by some for eating; it is the best of all mothers to j lcr c i ) j c i cgj ] a y 8 large, liandsome,white 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 Times. 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¬ aminer.
