Where. Gold Comci From.
The gold tnkrn from tho river bum
Js mostly in the form of scales resem
bling cucumber seeds, Rnd of varying size.
It was most plentiful on tho bed-rock
and in a few inches of soil nbovo it,
though sometimes throe or four feet of
earth would pay to wash. Where tho
bed-rock was hard the miner cleaned it,
for a shoveful of dirt might contain a
few dollars in small particles. AVhero
the bed-rock was soft shalo or slnto on
edge the miner picked away an inch or
io and washed it, ns frequently the scales
were found to be driven quito thickly
into tho crevices. When tho ground
was very rich tho rocker was cleaned af
gold every hour or two. When work
was over, around tho supper fire tho
events of the day were discussed, earn
ings compared, reports made of grizzly
bears or deer being' seen or killed, of
tetter diggings of "coarse gold" discov
ered. This was tho hour for specula
tions as to origin of the eold in tho
rivers, and a strong opinion was enter
tained by many who were not well-read
mat immense masses of tho precious
mctnl would some day be brought to
light in the snow-capped peaks towerin?
to the east. "Coarse gold" was a chann
to the car of tho ordinary minei. His
claim might bo paying him an ounce a
any in fine gold, but ho was always in
terested in some reported-diggings far
away where the product was in lumps,
nd not infrequently he left a good mine
to seek some richer Kl Dorado. The
characteristic and besettinsr fault of the
early miner was unrest. Ite was forever
seeking better fortune. Vet it was thii
passion for prospecting that resulted in
tho discovery f gold in an incredibly
short tims from the southern end of the
fan Joaquin Valley to the northern limit
of tiro State. To "prospect" was to find
spot that looked favorable and make an
examination of it. Tho miner would
take a pan of earth, shake and gyrate it
Under water, raising and tipping'it fre
quently to run the dirt and water off,
then plunge it again, and so continue
until a small residuum of black sand and
gold remained. A stcck of gold was
the "color," several specks were "sev
eral colors," and the number and size
determined the judgment of tho mine!
whether lie should go to work or move
ou. I have seen ounces taken in this
way in a single pan, but in the earlier
days we counted a "bit" to the pan,
twelve and a half cents, a fair prospect.

The special onion manure is the best
fertilizer for this crop, as it contains
every element of plant growth required.
Onion growers commonly use super
phosphate of lime or fine bono dust, but
tho best results in all artificial fertilizing
are secured by the use of a complete
manure. When stablo manure is used it
should be old and decayed. Tho arti
ficial fertilizer will tend to drive off the

The foot of a horse is one of the most

and forming a complete lining to it. In
this are fitted as many laminie belonging

FRUIT TREES MUST BE 8PRAYED.
Professor Bailey, of Cornell Univcr
lity, says it is no longer optional with
farmers as to whether they spray their
fruit trees or not as a protection against
the applo and other fruit-tree insects.
They must do it. Spraying for the cod
lin moth should be done just as the blos
10ms fall and tho work must bo thor
oughly done. Three times will be suf
Bcient generally. Ho recommend! this
mixture for spraying: Six pounds of sul
phate of copper dissolved in hot water
and seven pounds of sal soda dissolved in
the same way. "When cool mix the two
and allow to settle. This will be enough
to fill a barrel. In applying it is very
important to keep tho solution well
stirred, since the application of too
strong poison to tho leaves of the trees
will injure them. It should be consid
ered the first duty of neighbors to see
that their orchards are properly sprayed,
because it will be of little avail for one
to do so aud to leave trees a short dis
tance away untouched, for the insects
will breed there and overrun both
orchards Neia York Independent.
HORNS MUST GO.
Horns on domestic cattle no longer
serve any useful purpose, and to one
who views beauty only in usefulness they
are not even beautiful. Western farmers
nre now using a machine for dehorning
mature animals. It is done so quickly
and neatly that there is no longer any
objection from cruelty in the process of
getting rid of horns. The loss trom
maintaining useless horns is not confined
to the injury they do to stock, though
that is often serious. There it always
great danger too aud often loss of life of
attendants from vicious animals, Bnd
especially from bulls. Stoke Pogis III.
was probably tho most valuable pro
genitor of Jersey blood, but becoming
vicious he was fattened and sold for beef,
before his value was fully known. Hud
he been dehorned this valuable strain of
Jersey blood would not be nearly so
scarce and dear as it is, and the improve
ment to American Jersey stocK from . a
few more years of service from Stoke
Pigos III. can scarcely be estimated.
The dehorning process has now been
practised long enough to show that loss
of horns does not injuriously affect ani
mals either for fattening or dairy pur
poses, nor does it lessen the valuable
characteristics transmitted ta their
progeny by dehorned bulls. It is likely
indeed that as horns are bred off cattle
may be bred free from the vicious pro
sperities that the constant use of horns
must stamp upon character, aud thus
transmit to future descendants. Button

THE "rOINT OF CONFIDENCE.1'
Most persons who undertake beekeep
ing enter upon the work with some mis
giving. While they do not exactly ftar
the bees, yet there is at first an involun
tary hanging back, a reluctance to handle
bees more than is absolutely necessury.
llegi nuers should wear not only a veil,
but also gloves; many novices who see
old beekeepers handle with bare huuds
try to imitate them like to appear pro
fessional to go among the bees with a
reckless air. Some of the most success
ful beekeepers have said that before the
first year had pussed they had almost de
cided that there was something about
them that antagonized the bees, and that
they could do nothing with them. An
acquaintance declared, iu the full of the
first year, "I've had enough of bees.
They will not accept me. It is useless to
tell me that lues do not sting. They
don't Uo anything else with me." But
he decided to struggle through another
year, for, in spite of many stiusn, he hud
a good crop of honey. Before the sec
ond year closed he remarked that bee
were m harmless as flies. 'What had
brought about this chanfret He had
reached tho "confidence point," and the
bees knew it, and cognized hiin as
master. He hud become so familiar with
the work, so much interested in It, that
he forgot self, forgot to jump, to jerk
his hand away when a bee started to ex
plorc the ba.-k of hil hand; Therefore,
let every beginner faint not, but keep up
courage and keep at tho bees. Without
knowing When the change takes place,
he may reach the stage of perfect confi
dence, and will make light of the stings
implanted in his own faltering hand.

Cleanliness is an important item. AU
lags and dirt should be removed first.
Select a clean place for shearing, so that
the fleeces can bo kept clean. If any of
tho fleeces have burs of any kind in them
they should be kept separate, as even a
few burry pieces in a lot of wool will
lower the price of tho whole lot, and it
is poor economy to mako tho best Sell
the poorest, as this is equivalent to sell,
ing tho best at the price for the lowest;
In shearing it is always tin item to
keep tho fleeces Well together, A littld
care In shearing and handling will make
a considerable difference In this respect.
Have the shears sharp in order to cut
clean and smooth. After the fleece is
taken off spread it but evenly, with the
skin side down, then fold fron each side
to the centre until in a long roll; then
commence at the head and roll tight, and
then tie with wool twine. This puts tho
fleece in good condition to bo readily

prico for wool put up in a good shape
will more than pay for the work-requircd.
With wool, as with nearly all farm
products, the best quality brings the best
prices, and to a considerable extent the
quality is determined by the condition.
While, if carefully tied up, there ii
little waste in wool, yet there is a con

IT RflNS THK BODY.
The following extract from the Diocescm
Jiecord touches a question of great import
ance to the cause of temperance, that is the
physical effect of alcohol on the human
system.
In the first place, how, or in what manner
do you think you are benellted by this dnnkf
U ell. you will say it has an exhilarating
effect, i es, it has an exhilarating effect;
but, mark, it is for the moment. And how
is this stimulating effect produced? And is
It conducive to a man's general health?
1 here are certain properties in this intoxi
cating liquor which will heat the blood,
thereby cuusing its more rapid circulation,
and a consequent heating of the body. But
besides those proirtioa, it also contain
others which act uion the brain and nervous
system, and thereby produce this buoyancy
of spirit.
But it is a well-known fact that stimulants
of whatever kind, when taken often, have
by appropriating the proper and natural
fuuet ona of the digestive organs of the
stomach, a lethargic effect upon this organ.
J ho more stimulants we take the more
lethargic the stomach becomes, and the more
necessary it is for us to take them, till at
length the stomach refuses to digest any food
without the aid of its former assistants.
But the stomach is not the only organ
whose power is lessened or impaired by the
use of stimulants or intoxicating liquor.
The nervous yterri becomes so weak and
shattered that the slightest shock completely
prostrates the victim. The small veins by
which circulation with the brain is carried
on, become so inuated by the rapid circula
tion of the blood consequent on the taking of
the liquor, that the patient can never be
treated for certain diseases, 1. e., the cura
tive or ameliorative iredicines cannot be
administered without endangering the life of
the patient. In fact it is seldom or never at
tempted: because the only effective medicine
that could be administered would cause such
a rush of blood toward the brain, as would
cause the already too-inflated veins to burst,
aud consequently cause the immediate death
of the person.
It is, therefore, apparent that intemper
ance has an enervating effect upon the body,
thatits antuu-Hnfc eshilt.rAr.inor i.il..u aFa k...
transient, aud create a corresponding de
pression of spirits atterward; that it consid
erably impair the digestive organs of the
stomach: that it weakens the nerves; and
finally, that it brings the habitual user to
such a state, that the taking of certain dig
etses means to hiinjeyjjible death.

that In crossing one of the many sandy

What is lacking is truth
and confidence.
It there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute
confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the
makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy to back up a plain
statement of fact by a $500
guarantee.
They say "If we can't
cure you (make it personal,
please,) of catarrh in the head,
m any iorm or stage, we 11 pay
you 500 for your trouble in
making the trial."
"An advertising fake," you
say.

Wise men don't put money

And " faking " doesn't pay.
