Treatment to Barren Trees.
A gentleman who has had consider
able experience in fruit raising gives
the following as his method of forcing
barren trees to become productive:
" Some fifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably. I
drove a stake by it, tied a string to a
limb and fastened it to the stake. The
next year that limb blossomed full and
not another blossom appeared on the
tree and, as Tim Banker said. 'That
sot me a thinking,' and I came to the
conclusion that the string was so tight
that it prevented tho sap returning to the
roots consequently it formed fruit buds.
Having u couple of pear trees that were
large enough to bear, but never blos
somed, I took a coarse twine and wound
it several times around the tree above
the lower limbs, and.tied it as tight as
I could. The next Spring all the top
above the cord blossomed, as white as a
sheet, and there was not one blossom
below where tho cord was tied. A neigh
bor, seeing my trees loaded with pears,
used this method with the same result.
I have sinco tried the experiment on
several trees, almost with the same re
sult. I think it is a much better way
than cutting off the roots. In early
Summer, say J une or Jnly, wind a
strong twine several times around the
tree, or a single limb, and tie it, the
tighter the letter, and you will be pleas
ed with the result; the next Winter or
Spring tho cord may bo taken off."
We went into a stable recently, where
the air was stittling hot, and reeking
with odors ftom the manure beneath
the horses feet. The poor brutes were
perspiring freely, while swarms of flies
tormented tho very life out of tuem.
This was during the hour at nooiiTwhen
the horses were being fed and recruitod
for a heavy afternoon's work in the
mowing machine. We feel that wo are
perfectly safe in saying that an hour's
imprisonment in that stablo on a hot day,
would enervate a team more than half-a-days
work out in the pure air. And
there are many stables liko this through
the country. In nine cases out of ten,
no thought is given to the matter of ven
tilation, in the construction of stables.
This was low, with narrow stalls, a long
feed trough running the whole length,
and a feed rack above it. Thero was no
chance for introducing a current of air,
which would be appreciated fully as
much bv a horso as by his owner. Sta
bles should be kept scrupulously clean,
and even disinfected during the close,
sultry weather of Midsummer. We
know of one farmer who makes it a busi
ness to wash out his stalls with cold wa
ter before puttingjn his horses at noon,
and it is a practice to bo commended
where water is convenient. But at
least, give the tired horses clean, whole
some stalls and plenty cf air. Practi

Treatment op Cows. A writer who
says that one good cow gives all the
milk that is needed in a family of eight
persons, and from which cow was made
260 pounds of butter last year, gives
the following as his treatment: " If
you desire to get a large yield of 'rich
milk, give your cow every day water
slightly warm, slightly salted, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate of one
quart to two gallons of water, You will
find, if you have not tried this daily
practice, that your cow will give 23 per
cent more milk immediately under tho
effects of it, and she will become so at
tached to the diet as to refuse to drink
clear water unless very thirsty; but this
mess she will drink most any time, and
ask for more. The amount of the drink
necessary is an ordinary water pail full
each time, morning, noon and night.
Southern Farmer.
The Grange is a living power. Why?
Because it is an organization of farm
ers, and farmers are the conservators of
the strength and of the moral purity of
the race. Why? Because, the living
in the country, under the sweet air of
heaven, and surrounded by the realities
of God, they grow strong and healthly
in body, mind, and heart. The Grange
is tho organization of farmers. While
grass grows there will be farmers.
While men remain there will be those
who try to oppress and defraud farm
ers, and farmers will resist, and band
together to make their resistance more
effective. The Grange is this organiz
ed resistance. It is the world. It re
presents and combines together a vast
body of intelligent, just-minded men.
It gives these men the power of combin
ation. The Grange has but just begun
its work it will not end it till time

succeeds better than the one who raises

that manufactures every article that its

more prosperous and powerful than the'
one which confines its industry to the

A Russian Peasant's Savings Banlr.
In one of the small provincial towns
of Southern Russia a savings bank has
recently been established, the second
clerk of which while lounging at his
desk on a "flat day" in Summer, was
startled by the entrance of a heavy
looking peasant slouch--, grimy, un
kempt the very last man one would
expect to see in a bank, except for the
purpose of robbing it. The apparition
came timidly up to the counter, and 'tho
following dialogue ensued:
"Well, my good fellow, what may
you want here, pray?"
"If it please you, father, I want you
to take charge of some money for me.
Our folks say that I might be robbed of
it, and that it will be safe with you."
"Money, eh? Why, how much money
have von got then? Four roubles? Five?
Ten?"
"It must be more than that, I fancy.
My wife and I couldn't manage to count
it all, though we've been at it all morn
ing." So saying, tho gentleman in sheepskin
produced a tattered, filthy leather bag,
and poured out before the clerk's aston
ished eyos a perfect pyramid of bank
bills of all values from one rouble to
fifty. The amazed clerk hastily sum
moned his two colleagues, and the
three, after a long spell of counting,
satisfied themselves that tho total
amount was nt less than 20,000 rou
bles ($15,000). The peasant, who had
stood watching tho operation with a
look of childish curiosity, pocketed his
receipt and walked off as coolly na if
nothing had happened; but the next
morning he reappeared and again ad
dressed himsolf to the same clerk.
"God be with you, father. Do you
take care of gold, too, as well as bank
bills?"
"What, gold? Why, you'd better
start a bank yourself! How much gold
have you got, in heaven's name?"
"Two boxes full."
At this point the banker himself, who
had been listening to the conversation
with the deepest amazement, came for
ward and announced his intention of
accompanying his strange customer
home, and taking charge of the gold
himself. The unwashed capitalist joy
fully accepted tho offer, and the pair
drove out to a hamlet about two miles
from tho town. Here the peasant led
his companion to a small, mean-looking
hut, and opening a shed on one side of
it, displayed two battered wooden boxes,
through tho breaches in which gold
pieces were escaping in all directions,
while beside them lay the dirty bag
which had held the bank bills of the day
before. The banker asked in amaze
ment, "How long have you had this
money?"
"My father and grandfather saved it
up," answered the peasant, and buried
it here; and I dug it up just the other
day, because I'm going to shift my
quarters."
"But, with all this money, why don't
you and your wife live in better style?"
asked the banker, looking around at the
miserable hovel.
"Why should we. father? Wo do very
well as we are."
Some months since a fond Detroit
father imagined that his only son, a
young man of twenty, was going into
consumption. A doctor was consulted,
and ho advised that the son be put
through a course of gymnastic training.
The young man seemed to liko the idea,
and for two or three months he was in
daily attendance at a gymnasium. Then
he began to grow careless and finally
quit it altogether. The father thought
he could see signs of failing health
again, and to induce the son to go back
to rings, bars and gloves once more, he
fitted up a private gymnasium in the
barn, and began a coursa of exercise
himself. The other morning he remem
bered that he used to bo a boxer in his
younger days, and he remarked that
ho'd give the sen a few lessons. He
was balancing himself on his heel and
feeling out with both hands, when some
thing hit him, and half a minute after
ward he dimly realized that some one
was bending over him and saying:
"Father, dear father! are you dead?"
He sat up, looked around, and hoarse
ly inquired:
"Jim, what on earth happened?"
"Why, father, I got in a love tap on
your nasal just a little feeler, to see if
you were solid on j'ourpins."
"Didn't you strike me as hard as you
could?"
"No not half not a quarter. It
was what tho boys call 'feeling for clar
et.' Your nose will spring back into
position in less than half a day."
The father got up, let the gloves fall
from his hands, and as he caught the
trapeze to steady his legs, ho said:
"Jim, your mother and I thought
you were going into consumption, and
Doctor he backed us up in it.
That's why he sent you to learn gym
nastics. Jim, I'm a fool, your mother
is an awful good woman, and if we can
get tho doctor up here long enough to
let you feel for his claret, I don't care
how soon I die."
Rudely Awakened frm Love's
Young Dream. On Sunday last a
young couple were in town. They were
from the rural districts, and had wan
dered down to seo the shipping and view
the lake from the end of the pier. They
sat on the dock near the custom-house
with their feet dangling off, and gazed
upon the turbid stream as it flowed on
ward to the sea. As the sun went down
into tho green and golden waters of the
lake, and the moon looked down in sil
ver glory upon the landscape and the
graceful outlines of the railroad bridge,
they began to grow sentimental. Soon
his arm stole around her waist, and he
bent down to kiss her. Alas! Love
knows nothing of natural philosophy,
and gravitation enters not into its rose
colored dreams. A slide, a shriek, and
both dropped into the river out of sight
of the cold world. Then thero was a
rush, and the ardent lover was brought
to terra firma (dry dock, literally) on
the end of a boat hook, while his loving
companion was scooped up with an oar.

Carbonate of soda has been found for agon in
tho soda lakes of Egypt and lluntfaiy, and in
other mineral waters. In the desert of Thaiat,
west of the Delta in E:jypt. is a pit twelve milcH
long and three-fourths ot a mile in width, w hich
is tilled in winter with a violet-colored water
live to six feet in depth. When tbfs elaborates
in summer it leaves an incrustation of soda half
an inch thick, which is gathered and utilized by
the natives. Carbonate of soda is used in glass
blowing, soap making and bleaching. It is pro
duced in large quantities in Nevada. Neverthe
less there was imported inte the United States
during the past year over 3,000,000 pounds. Hal
soda is an impure carbonate of soda. A carbon
ate is a salt mixed with a baso, and forms a
carbonate of soda. Saleratus is a carbonate of
potash, and contains a large quantity of car
bonic acid. It i uo:l extensively for cooking
cakes, etc.
I-CAOSATE
Of soda contains two equivalents of carlxniic
acid to one base a supercarbonate and is ob
tained by passing carbonic acid into a strong
aqueous solution of crystalized carbonate cf
soda. Iii-carbonato is "used largely among
farmers, and all households for cooking pur
poses, with yeast powder, etc. Eornnrly t-iis
article was imported almost exclusively front
England, whence it still comes to our coast in
largo quantities. But until recently tlio soda
producing regions of the Pacific Coast have
been comparatively neglected, and h;nco our
dependence on a foreign supply. At length,
however, cfpitalists and manufacturers are
awake to the importance of meeting our de
mands nearer home, and saving duties, freights
and handling expenses. Within a few weeks,

THE PACIFIC BOI. CO.
Have come into possession of tho secret of pro
ducing bi-carbonato of soda etjual to tho most
superior importations and at much less exiJewe.
And because of the excellent quality of their
production, and their ability to put it on tho
market much lower that the ruling rates for for
eign imports, this company are fully determin
ed that no outside supply shall be able to com
pete with them, butsimll be ultimately excluded
from this market, supplanted by our own homo
manufacture. This will be a great gain to con
sumers among our own people, and the foreign
production wdl turn eLjewhere for a market.
The Pacific Soda Co. is
A STOCK COMPANY,
And lias 25,000 shares at a par value of SlOl), or
250,000. Aaron Doud, who lias been in busi
ness in this city for the past 21 years, is the
President, and Vm. H. Chaffee is Secretary.
fr. J. S. Doe is the Treasurer and principal
owner of the stock and property, and is well
known to the business community in connection
witli tho fash and door business, in which he
has W n engaged in this city on a largo scale
for M--:e than a quarter of a vcentuary. The
company have their office and samples at 101)
California street, and their factory on Berry
st., between Fourth and Fifth. It is now three
years since they started the business, but only
recently that they have perfected arrangements
for tho production of a pure bi-carbo:iato of
soda. The company own 1G0 acres of land in
Churoliill county, Nevada, 20 miles from Wads
worth. On tkis land is a flat of 14 acres in
basin-like form, surrounded by high bluffs. In
the centre of the flat are two or three acres of
WARM SPRINGS,
From which the soda is obtained. Natural vats,
or trenches, are dug and tilled with water, which
tho warm winds of summer, with tho thermom
eter at 100 degrees, ciuse to evaporato, leaving
the crystalized soda, which is pulverized by stir
ring, put into sacks and brought to our city,
whero it is sold by the Nevada Company all of
wh-se property now belongs to Mr. J. S. Doe
to the Pacific Soda Co., in which ho is also tho
principal stock-owner. The sacks then go to
tho factory on Berry street, where they are
stored for reduction. Mr. Doe recently sent a
largo quantity of the crude soda to England to
be tested, and it was so pure tho manufacturers
could hardly believe it genuine.
THE FACTORY
Is 40x120 feet and two stories. It contains an
engine, 34 vats, and a gas chamber in which the
bi-carbonato is produced from thecrj-stalized by
the injection of gas. Tho company now have
facilities for turning out 30 tons of bi-carbonato
monthly, exclusive of other productions of car
bonate of soda, etc., and they are prepared to
increase their operations according to tho de
mand. At present they employ about $18,000
capital in the manufacture. Up stairs the first
rpm is devoted to putting up tho bi-carbonato
in packages and boxing for the market. Hero
als are tho labels, Btencirs, etc. Back of this
is tho testing room, and in the rear the drying
room. Outsido the factory are numerous liogs
heads filled with ash of soda. Near by are piles
of limestone and coke, used for heating pur
poses. Tho process of
CRTSTALIZATIOX
Of tho soda is very interesting to observe. The
pieces are often of very fantastic formation in
tho vats, and tho edges are smooth, pointed and
fretted. At present from 25 to 30 tons of bi-car-bonate
of soda are used monthlyin San Francis
co, and it is not difficult to perceive what a sav
ing thero must be to tho consumers when this is
obtained at a much leas cost than tho foreign ar
ticle and just as good. Of courso somo bi-car-bonate
manufacturers have greatly injured the
trade in the local production by tho use of adul
terations, which have reduced the percentage to
about 70. Thus by increasing the quantity re
gardless of the quality, they have been able to
undersell tho foreign genuine article. This,
however, is very shortsighted policy. Bnt now
the Faciflc Soda Co. produce the pure bi-car-bonate
of soda at a less cost than the foreign or
domestic adulterations. The company manu
facture SAL SODA,
Soda ash, yeast powder, washing powder, salera
tus, carbonate of soda, bi-carbonate cf soda,
etc., and promptly fill all orders. Somo dealers
have been timid about patronizing a homo in
dustry like this soda productions lest it should
prove a failure by the time it was fully intro
duced. But the Pacific Soda Co. will be perma

ity to back and sustain it. Therefore merchants
need have no hesitation about sending their or
