Growls tVaar Beets.
Susrar, like the garden variety of,
beets require a deep, finely pulverised
oil, and dressed In the drill row with
twelve two-horse cartloads of rich,
well-rotted manure, mad from grain
fed cuttle. After the seed la aowa
and the plants are up, the after-culture
cons lata la keeping the ground
mellow between the rows, and the beat
plants are free from weeds. The har
row-tooth cultivator, with the Bat steel
weed cutter attached to the rear, la the
best ImMement to work the crop With
when the -plants are small. It floes and
meltons the soil and cuts up the young
weeds in the one passage. - After the
plants grow larger use the horse culti
vator, with the narrow teeth Brat, and
afterwards the larger ones. Amateurs
in beet culture should visit soma large
trucker and see how the work is done.
One visit, with a careful Inspection of
the crops grown, will be worth to any
observant farmer at least fifty dollars
:. la experience. The beets, after they
have reached the fourth leaf and the
bulbs are about the sise of your thumb,
should be thinned out when the soil Is
moist. Sugar beets should be thinned
out to stand six inches apart In the
row, and stock beets thinned to eight
Inches. In thinning or hoeing the
plants, the roots must not be cut, as it
will cause them to rot.
The truckers. In growing the early
market beets, use large quantities of
liquid manure, running It In between
the rows after the ground has been
deeply cultivated. In a few days the
rows are again run through with the
cultivator. Under this double system
of manuring the beets grow very rap
idly, and are soon ready for market
In growing beets for feeding to stock,
the ground must not be allowed to
crust over, or the plants will be cover
ed up with weeds. Beets can be grown
and put Into the cellar for four cents
per bushel. From six hundred to eight
hundred bushels can be grown to me
acre under careful culture. Baltimore

' Carina- Weadjr Hay. '
Daisies and weeds of like nature
make a very good bay for dry cattle
and young stock If they are cot In
flower. Cut them after the dew Is off
In the morning, and let them dry out
for a day. Bake them up the follow
ing day, and stack them wJtitt alternate
layers of straw or okl hay. taea load
should be salted at the rate of one peck
of salt to the toad. Make the stack to
hold six or eight tons, or twelve two
horse wagon loads -of it as gathered.
The stack should .be run up three
fourthi of the way, and then left over
night to settle. After the stack settles
top off with long hay, rake down hard,
and then run two wires over the top
and tie down securely. ' A stack of this
fresh hay will smoke for several morn
ings after it to put up, but it the bay
has been well salted and several layers
of dry bay put in between the green
hay, there wlH be no danger of com
bustion. Fpralaa fa Hone
All recent sprains of the Joints and
tendons are generally best treated by
the applica tion of coed water. This Is
best applied by means of a hose. This
should be used frequently, but not for
more than fi ve minutes at one time. The
horse's rug should be put on at such a
time, or he Is liable to take cold. If
the horse shows symptoms of much
pain. It may be necessary to foment
the part; that Is, apply warm water In
stead of eold. This will ease the pain,
but win probably Increase the swelling,
and the reduction, afterwards, of this
swelling will retard recovery. The In
flammatory processes at the seat of the
lesion mean Increased blood supply to
the part, and consequent effusion Into
the surrounding tissues. Thus, with a
sprain, we always get more or less
'"thickening," and the getting rid of this
"thickening" Is often more troublesome
than relieving the actual pain. Thi
application of cold water by constrtag.
tag the blood vessels has the effect of
lessening the amount of Mood which
would otherwise be conveyed to the
part, and so result in less effusion and
swelling. After applying the cold wa
ter, a woolen bandage should be bound
fairly tight round the affected part,
preferably Interposing a layer of cot
ton wool between limb and bandage.
Should the animal show symptoms of
being In much pain, remove the band
age at once, for It Is then probably
pressing too bard on the Injured part.
The bandage, however, must not be
left off, but . replaced. Bandages In
sprains, other than in those of the
limbs from the foot to the trunk, are
. out of the question. Saddlery and Har
ness. To Itjcrcoae the Milk.
To make a large quantity of rich
milk, the cows must be full fed. Where
the milk, cream or butter can be sold
at good prices It will pay to feed grain.
The following ration can be given to
each cow dally all through the summer:
Seven quarts of bran and one quart of
corn chop, divided Into two feeds. One
half Is fed In the morning and the other
half at night. The bran la made Into
a thick slop and seasoued with a little
salt. The cows are at pasture day and
night. ; When the pasture gets short,
the cows are given a large rackful at
night of oats and peas or corn fodder,
after they have eaten op their slop. By
tills system of feeding the cows will
average twenty-eight to thirty pounds
of milk per day, which Is wholesaled at
3 cents per pound. The bran makes an
abundance of good, wholesome milk,
heaps the cow La condi tion, and It also
makes a very rich manure. These drop
pings are scattered over the pasture
once each week.
Ceta and fonltrw.
When there are occasional disappear,
ances of young chickens, especially at
night, It is most likely that the family
cat will prove to be the thief. Cats
are treacherous animals, and cannot
be depended upon. The same cat that
during the day will allow Httle chick,
ens to eat from the same dish will also
' at night kill and eat the chickens with
as iM-arty a relltsh as their owner would
eat them when ctkeA. But the lack
of moral sens may be partially sup.
plied It the slightest Interference with
poultry by the cat secures for her the
chastisement she needs. If this la dons
while they are young, the cat may be
taught to discriminate between birds
which equally with mice are her nat
ural prey, and young chickens. Poul
trymen who have an admixture of
gams blood In their fowls do not twed
to give their rats any lessons to let
youug chlcka alone. If the mother hen
cannot fight off the Intruder on her
brood, her call will quickly bring to
her assistance the game rooster, who
finds In such ecrlmmnges Just the kind
of excitement be wants.
Pruning- loans Pear Treea.
Much depends ou bow a beginning la
mads In pruning pear trees. It. Is for
this reason best to take them at not
more than two years from the bud,
and If a very dwarf habit is desired a
one-year stock from the graft la better.
The thing to most persistently fight,
either In dwarfs or standards, is the
tendency of the central shoot to take
most of the sap. This means large
wood growth and little fruiting. - On
the other hand, a little pinching back
of those shoots that grow too fast,
which will always be the uppermost,
will send the sap to branches lower
down, and these will till with fruit
spurs and begin to bear the following
year. The pear tree does not need
high manuring. Give It plenty of mln.
era! fertilisers, and any ground that
will grow good grain or corn crops will
be found fertile enough..

The difficulty with early spring plant
ing Is always because the soil Is too
cold. This causes the seed to germinate
too slowly. But so soon as the seed
begins to sprout warmth la generated
by the act. Carbonic acid gas Is de
veloped, and this aids In making the
soil warmer. Hence the advantage of
putting some manure under the seed
when It is planted early, so ss to hasten
germination. There Is the further ad
vantage of doing this early In spring
because the abundant rains that fall
then make the manure soluble, and
greatly increase its effectiveness.
Becalatina: Salting of Cow.
Salt In moderate amounts ts doubt.
Ies an aid to digestion. The craving
for It ts natural with all herbivorous
animals, and Is especially strong In
those that chew the cud. If cows are
not salted regularly the cream from
their milk will not make butter so
quickly. This Is possibly because lack
of salt allows food In the stomach to
ferment before it can be digested. This
always causes fever and Increases the
caselne in the milk. The same result is
caused by the change in fall from green
feed to dry. Cows should be salted at
least twice a week. It Is better still to
keep some where they slwsys can have
access to it. They will not eat too
much for their good.
Farm Notea.
Potatoes nearly always do well on
clover sod land, and are much less lia
ble to disease than when grown with
stable manure. Land that has been in
clover should produce a good crop of
potatoes without the application of
manure.
Why not have some competent mas
legally appointed In every community
to spray trees and destroy Insect tests
and fungus diseases, taxing each man
for the number of trees grown? .The
thrifty man would then ho longer suffer
from the habits of his negligent neigh
bor.
It la a favorable Indication for sheep
that the supply of rams of the mutton
breeds Is below the demand. This points
to the fact that farmers are becoming
convinced that sheep will pay In the
forms of mutton and lamb, and that
wool will be but a secondary considers
tlon In sheep raising.
Every sheep farm should be well pro
vided wUh gates; bars are dangerous
as well as too wasteful of time in let
ting down and putting them up. There
Is a great risk when sheep are crowd
ing through bars, only partly let down.
that a leg may be snapped. A good
light gate may be made for 50 cents
more cost than a set of bars, and Lf

Buckwheat is regarded as a crop for
poor land, but It does best under fa
vorable conditions:"-The blossoms pro
Tide excellent forage for the bees to
work upon, and it is also regarded as a
very appropriate crop for plowing un-
dar. It Is a summer crop and shades
the land, the yield of grain, however;
seldom pa j fog for the seed and labor
on poor land, It being used mostly for
turning under while in blossom, '
There ' Is nothing ' better ' to make
young pigs grow than a patch of peas.
Into which they may be turned an hour
or so every day until the peas become
so scarce that all day la required to
satisfy them. They furnish the same
kind of nutrition that milk does, and at
a much cheaper rate. When thus fed
their frames will grow rapidly, and
tbey can be given corn feed later In the
season, without the Injury that comes
to hogs summered on grass and clover
and suddenly changed to corn; -
It coats about 13 cents to send a bush
el of wheat to Liverpool from Chicago.
Fifty years ago the cost of sending a
bushel of wheat from section nu&r
Philadelphia now reached In an hour
by rail was much more. With Improved
modes and facilities for transportation
distance has been obliterated and the
market extended until shipments de
pend on time and not the number of
miles. Grain Is cheaper because K can
be produced at loss cost with machine
and Is more easily shipped. The solu
tion of the problem Is to grow larger
crops per acre.
Taking No Chance.
There used to be a peculiar old Jus
tice of the peace la Vevey, Iud., down
near the Ohio River, who entertained
very queer notions concerning court
procedure. On one occasion, after all
the evidence was In and the plaintiff's
attorney bad made an elaborate argu
ment, the defendant's attorney arose to
begin his plea.
"Hold on there," exclaimed the court.
"I don't believe I can let you proceed,
Mr. Smith. I have a very dear Idea
now of the guilt of the prisoner at the
bar, and anything from you at this
time would hare a tendency to confuse
the court. I know the man Is guUty
now, and I don't want to take any
chances." Chicago Times-Herald.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins Company's Review
at Trade.
' Considerable activity hai been noted
in July wheat during the past week,
owing to the fear of manipulation by
the elevator men. Stock) of wheat In
Chicago are now down to 8,000,000
bushels, and this is firmly held by men
who believe in higher prices for spot
wheat during the next J30 days. There
baa boon little doing in other options,
although September wheat has gained
two omits. The news has been some
what conflicting in many respects, re
ports of harvustinp from the southwest
tending to somewhat dishearten hold
ers, while the news in other respects
was bullish in tone, and indicated
good demand for cash wheat, Receipts
have ful Inn off sharply in the North
west, and everything indicates that
from now on until the next crop moves,
but littile will be received. Foreign
crop news has been bullish In tons,
European : advices confirming the re
ported damage to tha Roumanian and
Bulgarian crop of 25 per cent. Comli.
tiona of India have improved but little.
Russian reports continue to speak of
damage to wheat in certain sections,
while in France there hai been only a
slight improvement. Exports have
shown a moderate decrease under those
of the previous week. Bradstreet's re
ports them at 8,158,000 bushels, while
ocean passage decreased 1,440,000 bush
els. Our visible supply decreased
1,879,000 bushels, and is now down
to 18,71)4,000 bushels, the smallest
in ninny years. Were there any
speculation we would see higher prices
at once, but the market is in a rut and
co narrow that it is at present con
trolled by a few professionals who are
sculping for small profits. While the
present dullness lasts, ws hardly look
for a bull market, but our supplies are
getting so low that the short side is
very dangerous to be on, and we advise
our frieuds to buy wheat on the little
breaks at present, and be satisfied with
small profits until speculation revives,
or there is a material , change in the
situation.

' Some 18 years ago the flock owners ol
Australia, finding that there was a fair
market in England for canned mutton,
determined to try the experiment of ex
porting the fresh-killed meat in
froxen state. Sheep which bad been
bred with view to producing wool
rather than for table use, did not at
first find favor with the public, besides
which an occasional breakdown in
the refrigerating machinery often ren
dered the experiment an expensive one
for the shipper. New Zealand sheep
were found to be of a mnch better
quality, and by degrees difficulties were
surmounted and prejudices overcome
until New Zealand mutton ha become
as common an object in London meat
markets as the home-grown srtiolo.
Owing to the difference in the seasons
on the other side o! the eatiator, lambs
are ready for export about Christmas
time, so that they can be placed on
the London market earlier in the season
than those raised at home. The car
casses are first cooled and then slightly
frozen on shore; they are then trans
ferred to a dry chamber on board ship,
where the temperature is steadily main
tained at a few degrees below freezing.
On their arrival in port they are
again transferred to a cold-storage
chamber and kept titers until wanted.

have been so many stories told
about the average Englishman's Inabil

Joke that It doesn't seem as If any
thing new in lllustmthut of bis dtsisity

good local story, which will he appre
ciated at least by those who know the
parties.
A genuine Itritisdier was lu LVreihunl
some time ago, the guest of a promi
nent citisen. The latter was bent on
entertaining his visitor to the best that
was going, and lu honor of the chant
of bis visit gave a tittle banquet at the
Uolleoden.
Everything: was of the nicest, and
the party enjoyed Itself hugely. When
the evejalnar's festivities were umkc full
headway, the honored gin-sit happtsu'd
to notice the ohlne. It was of Bngllsb
mauufactnre, and each piece was mark
ed with an "H" for Uolhaudtsi. It gav
the visitor a text for a few characteris
tic Anglo-Saxon remarks.
"You're a bloom In" couatry,n he said,
"but so young sn Vlpless. Why, every
thing we 'ave In old England ta supe
rior, don't you know, to what you
chaps prodot's. You cawn't compete
with ths mother country, you know.
Why, you even "ave to come to ns for
the very chlnyware that covers this
table. That's right, by Jove! it's queeus

delicious drawl, "and yoo'H notice It's
sprinkled with the '11 s' you English
men have dropped over here,"
A aiulle ran round the table In which
the honored guest did not Join. It was
lost material on him.
Not quit.
About a month after this feast the
Cleveland! received a letter from his
friend, who had returned home.

Among those who know the editor of

phrase, that "James Uordon Bennett
never makes a mistake." It would fare

pute this phrase It Is a fact that ho
makes few errors, and also that he
never acknowledges one. Owe ac
cording to an unverified story when
he wss home st Christmas time he
went lo bis club for dinner. It was bis
custom to gtre the waiter a dollar.
When the dinner was finished ..' he
thought to surprise the servitor, who
had been unusually acceptable In his
attentions. From bis waigtront pock
et, in which were two little rolls of
bills, Mr, Bennett took one and hand
ed It over, apparently thinking It con
tained five one-dollar notes. ,
When the waiter looked at hla money
after Bennett had gone and round that
It contained five f t.OOO notes be was
really frightened and gave the roll to
the steward- A few days later, when
Mr. Bennett next visited the club, tho
roll wss tendered to b!m with the ex
planation by the waiter tliat a mistake
was evidently made. Bennett never
looked at the money, but, staring the
waiter Indignantly In the face, declar
ed: "James Gordon Bennett makes no
mistakes," and walked sway.

Two San Francisco grocers- Ring Bros, and T. Salomon
won $100.00 each because they ncct tha moat yellow ticket
before June 15th,
I3ut grocers and clerks can get more tickets than other
consumers; so we also paid $10000 each to the two persona
named below ;
Mrs. Wm. Funk, Wlnnemuwt, Nevada, I Jl tickets.
Mrs. L. During, 819 Bryant Street, Sun Francisco, jt ticket.
Mrs. During got a number of friends in San Franojrp
and near by (one keeps a boarding house) to give heJta
tickets; and she used the tea herself.
By the way, she uses Schilling's Bust baking powder and
extracts- too bad she doesn't know how good Schilling's Best
spices are I But she says the extracts and baking powder
arc wonderful.
A woman in Stockton, who keeps a restaurant, came very
near getting a prize. She deserves one for supplying her
customers such good tea.
Better read our advertisements every day some contain
suggestions how to win the prize.
By the way, grocers can't compete for the two $tS,eo prises offered for ths
most yellow ticket In one envelope bet'tren June ijih and August Jtst. They
Ms, however, compete for the $1000.00 priie. B 4

It Benjamin Franklin, one of the
wisost of men, could have foreseen the
difficulties and com plications that have
grown out of his famous bequest to the
city ol Boston of 8.000, more than 100
years sgo, he would probably hava can
celled that part of the will, or st least'
made Its provisions very different, re
marks the Buffalo Commercial. The
fund, which now amounts to 1348,000,
has been invested mainly as lie direct
ed. At the end of the (I rat hundred
years the principal was to be laid out at
the discretion ot the managers of the
donation to the town of Boston, "In
publio works which rosy be Judged of
most utility to the Inhabitants, such as
fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, pub
lic buildings, baths, pavements, or
whatever tnsy make living in the town
more convenient to its people and ren
der It more agreeable to strangers re
sorting thither for health or temporary
residence." Tha money in in the Bos
ton city treasury, but it appears the
municipal authorities and the trustees
are at loggerheads as to their ysspee
tive powers, and also as to the method
of Its eipendlture, and as a Inst resort
the matter hss been carried to the
courts. An application Istobsmadeto
the supreme court Of Massachusetts to
decide who lias authority under the will
to expend the money in one of the sev
eral ways suKKcsted by the testator.
It is to be hoped a way out ol the diffl.
oulty will be found and that the fund
will be used to establish the Franklin
tisdes school, an has been proposed. It
is one of the most remarkable legacies
ever made, and the beuevolont intent
Is plain enouirh, though perhaps not ex
pressed In sufficiently definite terms.

. Fairplay describes the following as a
true story: . Lately an English family
had the misfortune to lose an aged
aunt, who died in St. Petersburg. Ar
rangements were most carefully made
and directions sent that the body should
be forwarded to England to be interred
in the family vault. In due times
magnificent oofiln arrived and before it
was lowered to its last resting place it
was opened for inspection. Much to
the dismay of the family, instead of
finding the familiar features and frail
form of their beloved aunt, the corpse
of a Russian officer, clothed In military
garments and decorated with ribbons
and medals, was disclosed to view. A
frantio telegrsm was dispatched to tho
Kussian capital, to which the following
answer was returned: "Lady buried
yesterday with military honors, Please
keep the general. "
