FARM AND ORCHARD.

Strong Argument in Favor of Gen-eral Farming.

Apples as a Medicine —Now Straw-berry Plantine-That "Nutty" Fla-

vor—nigh Roosts — General FarmNotes.

One sure and certain remedy for hardtimes is always having something to sell,and this something, whatever it may be,of such quality as to readily command afair price. Itis a fact worthy of seriousconsideration that the most persistentcroakers about hard times are those wholack in industry, good management, goodbreeding, and in many cases, sound in-tegrity. They make no special effort toobtain the best results, make few intelli-gent experiments, take no "stock" in theexperiments of others, no difference howfavorable the results, but continue in theold ruts to satisfy their vanity. It is wellto be on the watch when purchasing ofBuch a person, for the largest apples aresure to be on top and tho best grain usedas a sample. Because merchants deal ininferior goods is no excuse for farmersdoing the same.

While using care in marketing, it isalso well to provide a variety. It is true,special farming has many advocates andmany good arguments can be presentedin its behalf, but the most successful ad-vocates of special farming are those whoenjoy special markets for the articlesthey produce. As a rule, those who arenot so .situated as to avail themselves of.special marketing advantages willfind itto their advantage to engage in generalfarming, thus being enabled to meet ademand in any line oftheir production.

By general farming is meant not onlythe production of the various grains andvegetables, but in the raising of severalkinds of stock and in the culture of va-rious kinds of fruits and berries. Thegeneral farmer will thus have at any sea-.son of the year some article of his pro-duction that may be placed upon themarket. Having an income during eachmonth in the year, he is ever ready tomeet his obligations and can govern him-self accordingly. Tho old-time cottonplanter was a specialist. Ail his landswere devoted to the culture of this usefulplant, tho fibrous productions of whichiound a ready purchase at a fair price.The income was large, but, corning in abulk, money appeared plentiful to theplanter and was freely spent, and quitefrequently the supply was exhausted anda credit system adopted long before an-other harvest would bring a fresh supplyof money.

In personal experience it has beenfound very satisfactory to begin the yearby having occasionally a horse to placeon the spring market, loiter on, a va-riety of plants for the accommodation ofneighbors is placed on the market. Nextin order is the crop of wool, just in sea-won to pay the June taxes. Then followsa variety of fruits, vegetables and berries,some of which find ready sale at fairprices. The wheat crop, which on aHiuall farm does not look targe, cuts nosmall figure in making the accounts showup on the right side of the ledger. Nextfollows a market for a few good stocksheep, at good time to meet the Decem-ber taxos; and finally a few fattened hogsare ready for market in time to make alew purchases for Christinas.

But this is not all, for the good house-wife has been busy all the while in theproduction of gilt-edged butter, and theindustrious hens have prepared manyeggs lor the grocery counters, and num-erous flocks of yellow and white-leggedchickens, which will escape the visits oftho preacher, will grace the table of someof the city cousins. By this means manyof the household expenses are made andthe improvement of the home.

Farm life is full of toil, but yet thereare times when a reasonable share Of en-

meht may be obtained, and it is theduty of the farmer to seek out such op-portunities for himself and his family.;)o not permit yourself to think you aretoo old to seek recreation and occasion-ally join in the sports and pastimes ofyour children. John L. BhaWVSB.

"aitlks as a medici.ve."Upon tho much-overlooked subject of

'•Apples as a Medicine," the LondonHospital says:

"Chemically the apple is composed ofvegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum,chlorophyll, malic acid, gallk acid, limeand much water. Furthermore, theGerman analysts say that the apple con-tains a larger percentage of phosphorusthan any other fruit or vegetable. Thisphosphorus is admirably adapted for re-nowing the essential nervous matter,lefthicin, of the brain and spinal cord. Itis, perhaps, for the same reason, rudelyunderstood, that old Scandinavian tradi-tions represented the apple as the food ofthe gods, who, when they felt themselvesto be growing feeble and infirm, resortedto this fruit for renewing thuir powers ofmind and body. Also tho acids of thestpple are of signal use for men ofsedentary habits whose lives aro slug-gish in action, these acids serving toeliminate from the body noxious matters,which, ifretained, would make the brainheavy and dull, and bring about jaundiceor skin eruptions and other alliedtroubles. Some such an experience musthave ted to our custom of eating apple-sauce with roast pork, rich gooso, andlike dishes. Tho malic acid of ripe,.".pples, either raw or cooked, will'neutralize any excess of chalky mattergenerated by eating too much meat.

"U is also the fact that such fresh fruitsas the apple, the pear and the plum, whenripe and without sugar, diminish theaoßUty in the stomach rather than pro-voke it. Their vegetable salts and juicesr.re converted into alkaline carbon*)which tend to counteract acidity. A goodraw ripe apple is one of the easiesi ofvegetable substances for the stomach to.deal with, the whole process of the diges-tion being completed in eighty-five min-utes.

"Gerard found that the 'pulpo ofroastedapples mixed in a wine-uuart of tairewater, and laboured together until itcomes to be as apples and ale —which wetall lambswool—never faileth in a rtaindiseases ofthe rafoos, which myself bathoften proved, and gained thereby bothcrownes and credit.

NEW SinAWJSKUKY I'l.AMi.Mi.A QOtltemporary publishes a method j

for raising strawberries by shutting out-\voeds and keeping the ripening berries«leau without labor. He places a bro.ulboard over the row of plants, which conic

up through auger holes bond at IcisUinces. The board prevents the weedifrom growing in Hie strawberry row, andjvllowsithe plants to spread their stemson every side, and prevents tho berriesfrom becomiug soiled with the earth.\'be auger holes are to be about twoinches in diameter, and the plains<libbled down through the holes in setting jout.

This contrivance seems at first sight tobe QOlte iru .iiioiis and promising, but 1<. n norther examination snows that me- i

Chan lrml contrivances to save labornot always succeed. The board, if a footor more in width, would OfUyStippithe weeds in a strip equal to its ownbreadth, whil<» the roots are one and ahalf feet or more long, requiring a stripof three feet <>f abaenoeof weeds at eachrow; the weeds would certainly demandcouopaay with the plant* up through the

holes, and closely crowd them; the boardwould exclude the rain from the straw-berry plants—four" serious objections.We mention this contrivance in order topoint out an old and better remedy forexcluding weeds. Prepare the groundwell, and set the plants in three-footrows, and a foot or more assunder in therows. Then once a week pass a steelrake over the ground on each side of thostrawberry plants, which will preventilie weeds from ever appearing aboveground. For every twenty-five feet inlength of rows this single dressing willnot require more than one minute oftime, and during the common season ofgrowth will cost less than procuring orpurchasing the wide boards, boringtwenty holes, setting tho plants downthrough tuo holes, and then after all fail-ing to suppress the weeds outside theboards and in the auger holes, besidesrobbing the plants of a large portion oftheir needed watering.

HIGH KOOSTS.High roosts are an abomination. The

large, heavy hens can only reach the highroosts with difficulty, and they are liable'to be dislodged from their position,thrown oil and injured by the fall. Makethe roosts low—a foot from the iiocr be-ing sufficiently high—and have all theroasts on a level, instead of making themstep-like; that is, one higher than theother. Bumble-foot, lameness of thejoints and other ailments are often due tohigh roosts, and it is to their seeking loftyperches that young turkeys are usuallyaffected with swollen feet and legs. Itisreally doubtful ifroosts are at all neces-sary in a poultry-house, as those whohave tried the plan of providing litter forthe hens, and cleaning it away daily, re-port that the hens keep in much bettercondition, being less liable to draughts ofair, and are seldom lame. It is an ex-periment worthy of a trial, as the re-moval of the roosts Avillrender the in-terior of a poultry-house more roomyand convenient.

THAT "XUTTY"FI.AVOi:.The demand in the market is for butter

with nutty ilavor, and as it is not in theoriginal flavorofthe milk, but developedby a certain caro and handling of themilk and cream, there must be prettynearly uniform care of the milk, and,back of this, uniform feeding and atten-tion to not only the cows but their sur-roundings. When the whole matter issifted, and the actual methods explainedhow this Ilavor is obtained, it will benoticed that it is is only taking the bestcare of the milk, by making every utensilbright and clean and doing more thanstraining dirt and its compatriots out ofthe milk, but rather in not allowing themto get into the milk. Then, if the milk iscared for in a uniform way, cooled downto a certain point, the temperature con-trolled, cream ripened *so much and nomore, and the cream churned then andnot some time in the future, and the but-termilk washed out, and the butter saltedso much and worked down so dry, thenutty flavor needed will be developedmomptly on time and in needed amount,it is a uniform care, treatment aud hand-ling that insures quality, texture and tla-vor in butter.

I'AllM NOTES.Twenty-eight potatoes that Jill a half

bushel were recently dug on the farm ofJ. G. Carvile, No Name Pond, Me.

Grooming the cows is not often done,but it would add to their spirit and com-fort, however, as well as promote clean-liness.

Buttermilk is said to be a true milkpeptone, and, with the exception ofkoumiss, is the most digestible milk pro-duct at our command.

Tansy wafer is recommended as a de-stroyer of the cabbage-worm. Wheretansy grows in large quantities it willnotcost much to try the remedy.

Sheep farmers should go all over thefarm and cut the burdocks and otherburry weeds and destroy them before thestalks become ripe and brittle.

Sheep are said to be better than hogsfor the purpose of picking up the wind-falls in the orchard, that is, if the trunksofthe trees are protected by wire screens.Ifyou are troubled with white specks

in butter stir the cream every morningbefore it Is churned, and the specks willnot appear. So a good butter-maker says.

H. O. Chase ofNew Hampshire reportsa Jersey heifer that tills a two-gallon canwith milk three times a day. This wouldbe by weight fifty-two pounds twelveounces.

[fthe potatoes show the slightest sign,of rot, burn all the tops and procure seedelsewhere next season. Any precautionused now toßsamp out the disease will bebeneficial next season.

Whole oats, wheat, bran and eornmealform an excellent ration for young stock.The health ;uid complete Bymmetricalgrowth of tho body are best secured byfeeding a variety of grain.

No difference if a hog will eat almosteverything placed before him, he shouldnot have everything that his corruptedappetite craves. Clean food will makecleau pork, and only clean food is healthymeat.

What may be a perfect animal in theeyes ofone breeder willfall short in someof the essential particulars with another,mainly because some breeders will con-sider some things more essential thanothers.

The hog-pen should be always liberallybedded with straw, not only*where thepigs sleep, but the yard outside, wherethey run. Unless this yard is wellbedded much of the liquid manure willbe lost.

It has been discovered recently by med-ical men that "lump-jaw," as it is called,or lump* found on the jaws of cattle, aresometimes caused by decayed teeth. Itis not known how much the poor brutessuiier with the toothache.

Breeding to charikiness and lard israining the swine of the country. Itseems to be the hog ideal of some men toget as much grease as possible inside acertain amount of skin. Muscle, sinewand bone should be developed.

Philo Waterson, of Weyauwega, Wis.,picked from one single Duchess tree lastweek twenty-five bushels of choice ap-ples with no windfalls or wormy ones,which he sold atsl per bushel or £25 forthe crop from one rod square of ground.

A mixture of lard and snuff is the Cali-fornia remedy for lico on stock. Thisointment does not need to be applied tothe entire animal, but a ring of It two dr.three inches wide made completelyaround the neck will have the desiredeffect.

Gtten Wilson says a microscope shouldbe as much <>f ;i t-reamery implement asa thermometer, to fttttdy the filth fromsnuiis or corners of milk receptacles orfilthy floors. The wriggling animal lifebrought to view will be SB incentive to Icleanliness.

Analysis shows that while more thanhalf the potash is lost lrorn tan bark, buta s:n:ili quantity of the phosphoric acid islost. Tannery ashes are worth consider-ably more than leached wood ashes, andare always worth hauling away; still>\:<-h athea contain considerable potash.

GRAND JURY IMPANELED.

Judge Catlin Instructs the NineteenCitizens as to Their Duties.

John Stevens Is Appointed Foreman

and "\V. W. Coons Clerk.—Xo Busi-

ness fora Week Yet.

Superior Judge Catlin's courtroompresented quite a busy scene yesterdayforenoon.

Itwas the time set for the impanelingof the Grand Jury. The corridors andcourtroom were crowded with pros-pective investigators, spectators and thosewho lounge about the Courthouse becausethey have nothing else to do.

County Clerk Ilhoads did the drawingunder the watchful eye of Judge Catlin,and as a result nobody had any fault tofind with the manner in which the im-paneling was done.

LIST OF THE JUKORS.The names of those who had been called

as prospective Grand Jurors had beenplaced on small pieces of paj:er, and thesewere well mixed up in a box. Severaltimes during the drawing Judge Catlinasked Clerk Rhoads to "shako the boxwell," and the latter did so. The resultof the drawing was that the followingnineteen citizens wore summoned toserve on the Grand Jury:

David Harris,John Parsons,Einil Heinrich,Edward Christy,John Black,T. .1. Scott,Willard Gardner,John Hall Sawyer,David T. Lufkiii,11. R. Crouch,Meyer Stein,O. A. Lovdal,Meyer Freidnian,John Stevens,P. K. Beekiey,11. Steinman,A. J. Khoads,W. W. Coons,Wm. C. Sheldon.After the drawing Judge Catlin ap-

pointed John Stevens foreman of thejury, and Clerk Rhoads administered thespecial oath to him. The usual oath wasadministered to the other jurors.

SOME INSTRUCTIONS.This done, Judge Catlin proceeded to

address the Grand Jury. "To an indus-trious, intelligent, impartial and cour-ageous performance of your duty in thehigh office imposed upon you by theConstitution and laws of your State,"said he, "Ifeel that no exhortation fromthe court is necessary. The solemn oath-which you have just taken must haveimpressed upon your minds ail that isnecessary in that regard: and that oath,

i added to th« sense of duty which is in-! hererit in the breast ofevery good citizen,willimpel you to a fiutaful and satisfac-tory discharge of your obligations to thepublic and yourselves as individual eiti--7.1 H-. Itwill be your duty, gentlemen,to inquire into all public offenses, com-mitted or triable within this county, andpresent them to this court, either by pre-sentment or by indictment. As to whatcases which may come before you are, orare not triable in this coiyity, the DistrictAttorney willadvise you. Apresentmentis an informal statement in writing, rep-

! resenting to the court that a public offense| has been committed which is triable in the; county, and that there is reasonable

i ground for believing that a particular| individual, named or described^ therein,i has committed it; and it may apply toany number of persons lirectly con-cerned in the particular offense.

TAKI.VfI OK EVU>KNCK.An indictment is an accusation in writ-

ing made by you, and presented to thecourt charging a person or persons with a

j public offense. In the investigation of a1 charge, for the purpose of either present-ment or indictment, you must receive

i only such evidence as is given by wit-nesses produced and sworn before you,I or such as is furnished by legal dbcu-: meutary evidence, or the depositions of

jwitdesses, such as are provided for in par-I ticular cases. In regard to what deposi-j tions are admis>;able before you, you willbe advised by the District Attorney. You! should receive none but legal evidenco,

i and the best evidence in degree, to theexclusion of hearsay or secondary evi-dence. You are not bound to hear evi-dence on the part of, or in behalf of aparty who may bo accused before you;

I but you should weigh all the evidencesubmitted to you, anct if, in any case, youhave reasons to believe that other evi-dence within your reach will explainaway the charge, you should order such

i evidence to be produced, and, for thatI purpose, you may require the DistrictAttorney to issue process for the wit-

; nesses."MUST BE SECRET.

In conclusion, Judge Catlin instructedj the Grand Jurors that they must keepjsecret what transpires before them, and

| are informed that they arc protected bylaw from being questioned or called toany account for any action they may takein the jury-room. Apresentment or in-dictment cannot be found except by theconcurrence of at least Ktfßlve membersof the Grand Jury. He called their at-tention particularly to the fact that it istheir duty to investigate the books of allcounty oilicers, and especially those per-taining to the revenue. If the services ofan expert are necessary, they can hiroone at a salary not to exceed $5 per day.The Court urged the jury to perform thisportion of their duties in a thorough andcomplete manner.

When the Judge had concluded, theGrand Jurors retired to their quarters onthe top lloor of the Courthouse. Theyonly remained in session long enough toelect W. W. Coons clerk, and then ad-journed until next Monday.

HAGGERTY'S CASE.A Motion for a New Trial of the Case

AVill lie Made.Jobn Haggerty. the old man who was

convicted of murder in the second degreelast week, for having killed his son, wasto have been sentenced yesterday.

Haggerty's attorneys, however, gavenotice that they desired to move for anewtrial, and the passing of sentence wentover until Friday next. The old man's

| attorneys are Messrs. Anderson andj Bruner. and each of them has a speciali plea to make to the court fora new trial.Mr. Anderson's, point is that the verdictof the jury was not a voluntary one, asthe law demands; that ono of the jurors,

{ Mi. Waite, after holding out for acquittalfor twenty-two hours, was coerced intoagreeing with the others.

Mr. Hrunor's ground fora new trial isbased on the belief that Judge. Van Fleet

I erred in instructing the jury that a do-fendant in a murder case who sets up in-finity as an excuse, must prove abso-lutely that ho was insane. Mr. Brunerdeclares that according to a decision ofthe Supremo Court in the case of thoPeople vs. Bushton (80th California re-port*^, it was clearly set forth that thoex-cuso for the crime need only be provedbeyond a reasonable doubt—not abso-lutely.

MUDDLED MR. MAHAN.He Tells a Wild ami Wicked Story That

AVns a Fake.Constable Burke of Folsom made an

important arrest on Monday. One JohnMahan, a stranger, got drunk, drew apistol and threatened to kill Bert Hawk,tor which he was arrested by Burke andlooked up In the local calaboose.

It w,as discovered yesterday morningthat he had nearly effected his escape bydigging a hole under the wall. He \v;isthen adjudged by Justice btoelc guilty ofcarrying a concealed weapon and sen-tenced to thirty days in the County Jail.

To the arresting oflleer Mahan statedthat he had come to Folsoin for the pur-pose of smuggling things into the prison

in order to help certain convicts in effect-ing their escape. Ho accompanied theofficer out to a spot in the hills where liehad hidden some clothing, a pistol, knifeand monkey-wrench. He was broughtto the city yesterday and lodged in theCounty Jaii.

A telephone message from WardenAull last evening shows that the fellowMarian not only "stuffed" the Folsomofficer with a pack of lies, but is liable togee iuto the State Prison himself forburglary.

Warden Aull says the true story re-garding him is this: Mahan had beenemployed in the mountains by a dairy-man named Page. He robbed his '.mh-ployer ofsome clothing, a pistol, etc., andbid the things in the irilJs when he camedown from the mountains a. few daysago. As soon as his thirty-day term ex-pires he will be pi os'vuted for burglary.

"The fellow is a blowhard," remarkedthe Warden. "He was never near the:prison, doesn't know anybody inside ofit; and that yarn ho told to the officer wasall a fake—he's been talking through hishat, :ml he talked so much that he hasgot himself into trouble for burglary."

Mahan gave also the names of Mona-han and Kelly.

TO TRACK CRIMINALS.Proposition to Use Bloodhounds in

Nevada County.Sheriff Dunster of Nevada County has

received a promise from the Supervisorsof that county to purchase two blood-hounds to be used in tracking criminalsthrough the mountains in that section,and ho has written to Alabama to learnthe cost of a couple of animals of that

! kind.The Transcript says it is believed that

i with their aid highwaymen and otheri criminals of ihc worst order who opcr-i ate so frequently in that county, :uid byreason of the rugged topography and

j sparsely peopled condition of the coun-try have heretofore been able to escape in

i the majority of cases, can be trailed to| their lairs by the keen-scented hounds,| which are specially trained in AlabamaI to do that kind of work.

These hounds would be specially use-| iul in trailing train-wreckers. Ifone or; more of them could have been put on thetrack ofthe miscreants who wrecked thetrain near Collax the other night, there islittle doubt but that the fiends wouldhave been run down in a few hours.
