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 Farm Notes. One sure and certain remedy for hard times is always having something to sell, and this something, whatever it may be, of such quality as to readily command a fair price. It is a fact worthy of serious consideration that the most persistent croakers about hard times are those who lack in industry, good management, good breeding, and in many cases, sound in- tegrity. They make no special effort to obtain the best results, make few intelli- gent experiments, take no "stock" in the experiments of others, no difference how favorable the results, but continue in the old ruts to satisfy their vanity. It is well to be on the watch when purchasing of Buch a person, for the largest apples are sure to be on top and tho best grain used as a sample. Because merchants deal in inferior goods is no excuse for farmers doing the same. While using care in marketing, it is also well to provide a variety. It is true, special farming has many advocates and many good arguments can be presented in its behalf, but the most successful ad- vocates of special farming are those who enjoy special markets for the articles they produce. As a rule, those who are not so .situated as to avail themselves of .special marketing advantages will find it to their advantage to engage in general farming, thus being enabled to meet a demand in any line of their production. By general farming is meant not only the production of the various grains and vegetables, but in the raising of several kinds of stock and in the culture of va- rious kinds of fruits and berries. The general farmer will thus have at any sea- .son of the year some article of his pro- duction that may be placed upon the market. Having an income during each month in the year, he is ever ready to meet his obligations and can govern him- self accordingly. Tho old-time cotton planter was a specialist. Ail his lands were devoted to the culture of this useful plant, tho fibrous productions of which iound a ready purchase at a fair price. The income was large, but, corning in a bulk, money appeared plentiful to the planter and was freely spent, and quite frequently the supply was exhausted and a credit system adopted long before an- other harvest would bring a fresh supply of money. In personal experience it has been found very satisfactory to begin the year by having occasionally a horse to place on the spring market, loiter on, a va- riety of plants for the accommodation of neighbors is placed on the market. Next in order is the crop of wool, just in sea- won to pay the June taxes. Then follows a variety of fruits, vegetables and berries, some of which find ready sale at fair prices. The wheat crop, which on a Hiuall farm does not look targe, cuts no small figure in making the accounts show up on the right side of the ledger. Next follows a market for a few good stock sheep, at good time to meet the Decem- ber taxos; and finally a few fattened hogs are ready for market in time to make a lew purchases for Christinas. But this is not all, for the good house- wife has been busy all the while in the production of gilt-edged butter, and the industrious hens have prepared many eggs lor the grocery counters, and num- erous flocks of yellow and white-legged chickens, which will escape the visits of tho preacher, will grace the table of some of the city cousins. By this means many of the household expenses are made and the improvement of the home. Farm life is full of toil, but yet there are times when a reasonable share Of en- meht may be obtained, and it is the duty of the farmer to seek out such op- portunities for himself and his family. ;)o not permit yourself to think you are too old to seek recreation and occasion- ally join in the sports and pastimes of your children. John L. BhaWVSB. "aitlks as a medici.ve." Upon tho much-overlooked subject of '•Apples as a Medicine," the London Hospital says: "Chemically the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyll, malic acid, gallk acid, lime and much water. Furthermore, the German analysts say that the apple con- tains a larger percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus is admirably adapted for re- nowing the essential nervous matter, lefthicin, of the brain and spinal cord. It is, perhaps, for the same reason, rudely understood, that old Scandinavian tradi- tions represented the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit for renewing thuir powers of mind and body. Also tho acids of the stpple are of signal use for men of sedentary habits whose lives aro slug- gish in action, these acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters, which, ifretained, would make the brain heavy and dull, and bring about jaundice or skin eruptions and other allied troubles. Some such an experience must have ted to our custom of eating apple- sauce with roast pork, rich gooso, and like dishes. Tho malic acid of ripe, .".pples, either raw or cooked, will' neutralize any excess of chalky matter generated by eating too much meat. "U is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the plum, when ripe and without sugar, diminish the aoßUty in the stomach rather than pro- voke it. Their vegetable salts and juices r.re converted into alkaline carbon*) which tend to counteract acidity. A good raw ripe apple is one of the easiesi of vegetable 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 ofroasted apples mixed in a wine-uuart of taire water, and laboured together until it comes to be as apples and ale —which we tall lambswool—never faileth in a rtain diseases of the rafoos, which myself bath often proved, and gained thereby both crownes and credit. The paring of an apple COt somewhat thick, and the inside whereof is lnid to hot, burning Of run- ning eyes at night, w:ien the party goes to bed, and is tied or bound to the* same, doth help the '.rouble very speedily, and contrary to expectation*— an excellent et»' "A poolttoe made of rotten apples is of common we in Lincolnshire for the cure <>!' wc:tk ami rheumatic oyos. Likewise, in the Hotel d(s Invalidesat Paris.au apple poultice is used commonly for in- ilamea eyes, the apple being roasted and its pulp applied over the eyes' without an intervening substance. A modern maxim teaches that 'to eat an apple going to bed, tho doctor then will beg his bread.' " 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.ul board over the row of plants, which conic up through auger holes bond at I cisUinces. The board prevents the weedi from growing in Hie strawberry row, and jvllows i the plants to spread their stems on every side, and prevents tho berries from becomiug soiled with the earth. \'be auger holes are to be about two inches in diameter, and the plains <libbled down through the holes in setting j out. This contrivance seems at first sight to be QOlte iru .iiioiis and promising, but 1 <. n norther examination snows that me- i Chan lrml contrivances to save labor not always succeed. The board, if a foot or more in width, would OfUyStippi the weeds in a strip equal to its own breadth, whil<» the roots are one and a half feet or more long, requiring a strip of three feet <>f abaenoeof weeds at each row; the weeds would certainly demand couopaay with the plant* up through the holes, and closely crowd them; the board would exclude the rain from the straw- berry plants—four" serious objections. We mention this contrivance in order to point out an old and better remedy for excluding weeds. Prepare the ground well, and set the plants in three-foot rows, and a foot or more assunder in the rows. Then once a week pass a steel rake over the ground on each side of tho strawberry plants, which will prevent ilie weeds from ever appearing above ground. For every twenty-five feet in length of rows this single dressing will not require more than one minute of time, and during the common season of growth will cost less than procuring or purchasing the wide boards, boring twenty holes, setting tho plants down through tuo holes, and then after all fail- ing to suppress the weeds outside the boards and in the auger holes, besides robbing the plants of a large portion of their needed watering. HIGH KOOSTS. High roosts are an abomination. The large, heavy hens can only reach the high roosts with difficulty, and they are liable' to be dislodged from their position, thrown oil and injured by the fall. Make the roosts low—a foot from the iiocr be- ing sufficiently high—and have all the roasts on a level, instead of making them step-like; that is, one higher than the other. Bumble-foot, lameness of the joints and other ailments are often due to high roosts, and it is to their seeking lofty perches that young turkeys are usually affected with swollen feet and legs. It is really doubtful if roosts are at all neces- sary in a poultry-house, as those who have tried the plan of providing litter for the hens, and cleaning it away daily, re- port that the hens keep in much better condition, being less liable to draughts of air, and are seldom lame. It is an ex- periment worthy of a trial, as the re- moval of the roosts Avill render the in- terior of a poultry-house more roomy and convenient. THAT "XUTTY"FI.AVOi:. The demand in the market is for butter with nutty ilavor, and as it is not in the original flavor of the milk, but developed by a certain caro and handling of the milk and cream, there must be pretty nearly 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 is sifted, and the actual methods explained how this Ilavor is obtained, it will be noticed that it is is only taking the best care of the milk, by making every utensil bright and clean and doing more than straining dirt and its compatriots out of the milk, but rather in not allowing them to get into the milk. Then, if the milk is cared for in a uniform way, cooled down to a certain point, the temperature con- trolled, cream ripened *so much and no more, and the cream churned then and not some time in the future, and the but- termilk washed out, and the butter salted so much and worked down so dry, the nutty flavor needed will be developed momptly 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 of J. 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 milk peptone, and, with the exception of koumiss, is the most digestible milk pro- duct at our command. Tansy wafer is recommended as a de- stroyer of the cabbage-worm. Where tansy grows in large quantities it will not cost much to try the remedy. Sheep farmers should go all over the farm and cut the burdocks and other burry weeds and destroy them before the stalks become ripe and brittle. Sheep are said to be better than hogs for the purpose of picking up the wind- falls in the orchard, that is, if the trunks of the trees are protected by wire screens. Ifyou are troubled with white specks in butter stir the cream every morning before it Is churned, and the specks will not appear. So a good butter-maker says. H. O. Chase of New Hampshire reports a Jersey heifer that tills a two-gallon can with milk three times a day. This would be by weight fifty-two pounds twelve ounces. [f the potatoes show the slightest sign, of rot, burn all the tops and procure seed elsewhere next season. Any precaution used now toßsamp out the disease will be beneficial next season. Whole oats, wheat, bran and eornmeal form an excellent ration for young stock. The health ;uid complete Bymmetrical growth of tho body are best secured by feeding a variety of grain. No difference if a hog will eat almost everything placed before him, he should not have everything that his corrupted appetite craves. Clean food will make cleau pork, and only clean food is healthy meat. What may be a perfect animal in the eyes ofone breeder will fall short in some of the essential particulars with another, mainly because some breeders will con- sider some things more essential than others. The hog-pen should be always liberally bedded with straw, not only*where the pigs sleep, but the yard outside, where they run. Unless this yard is well bedded much of the liquid manure will be 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, are sometimes caused by decayed teeth. It is not known how much the poor brutes suiier with the toothache. Breeding to charikiness and lard is raining the swine of the country. It seems to be the hog ideal of some men to get as much grease as possible inside a certain amount of skin. Muscle, sinew and bone should be developed. Philo Waterson, of Weyauwega, Wis., picked from one single Duchess tree last week twenty-five bushels of choice ap- ples with no windfalls or wormy ones, which he sold atsl per bushel or £25 for the crop from one rod square of ground. A mixture of lard and snuff is the Cali- fornia remedy for lico on stock. This ointment does not need to be applied to the entire animal, but a ring of It two dr. three inches wide made completely around the neck will have the desired effect. Gtten Wilson says a microscope should be as much <>f ;i t-reamery implement as a thermometer, to fttttdy the filth from snuiis or corners of milk receptacles or filthy floors. The wriggling animal life brought to view will be SB incentive to I cleanliness. Analysis shows that while more than half the potash is lost lrorn tan bark, but a s:n:ili quantity of the phosphoric acid is lost. Tannery ashes are worth consider- ably more than leached wood ashes, and are always worth hauling away; still >\:<-h athea contain considerable potash. Tho Arabs are said to feed horses from the ground in order to maintain the curve in the neok. Without doubt the Ara- bian hones are among the finest in the world, and if feeding on or near the ground is one reason Tor their superior- ity, it is an argunn- .: for low mangers that should not be o\ cno.ok.ed.

As it was, fee gut a trifle over §400 an acre lor his berries. Hes.iys: "I do not be- lieve there was an acre of unirrigaled strawberries in the county that brought §100." ' Gratifying to All. The high position attained and the uni- versal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Tigs, as the most excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the quali- ti:>s on which its success is basod aud are abundantly gratiiying to tho California Fig Syrup Company.

John Stevens Is Appointed Foreman and "\V. W. Coons Clerk.—Xo Busi- ness for a Week Yet. Superior Judge Catlin's courtroom presented quite a busy scene yesterday forenoon. It was the time set for the impaneling of the Grand Jury. The corridors and courtroom were crowded with pros- pective investigators, spectators and those who lounge about the Courthouse because they have nothing else to do. County Clerk Ilhoads did the drawing under the watchful eye of Judge Catlin, and as a result nobody had any fault to find 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 been placed on small pieces of paj:er, and these were well mixed up in a box. Several times during the drawing Judge Catlin asked Clerk Rhoads to "shako the box well," and the latter did so. The result of the drawing was that the following nineteen citizens wore summoned to serve 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 the jury, and Clerk Rhoads administered the special oath to him. The usual oath was administered 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 the high office imposed upon you by the Constitution and laws of your State," said he, "Ifeel that no exhortation from the court is necessary. The solemn oath- which you have just taken must have impressed upon your minds ail that is necessary in that regard: and that oath, i added to th« sense of duty which is in- ! hererit in the breast of every good citizen, will impel you to a fiutaful and satisfac- tory discharge of your obligations to the public and yourselves as individual eiti- -7.1 H-. It will be your duty, gentlemen, to inquire into all public offenses, com- mitted or triable within this county, and present them to this court, either by pre- sentment or by indictment. As to what cases which may come before you are, or are not triable in this coiyity, the District Attorney will advise you. A presentment is 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 to any 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 the court charging a person or persons with a j public offense. In the investigation of a 1 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 j witdesses, such as are provided for in par- I ticular cases. In regard to what deposi- j tions are admis>;able before you, you will be advised by the District Attorney. You ! should receive none but legal evidenco, i and the best evidence in degree, to the exclusion of hearsay or secondary evi- dence. You are not bound to hear evi- dence on the part of, or in behalf of a party who may bo accused before you; I but you should weigh all the evidence submitted to you, anct if, in any case, you have reasons to believe that other evi- dence within your reach will explain away the charge, you should order such i evidence to be produced, and, for that I purpose, you may require the District Attorney to issue process for the wit- ; nesses." MUST BE SECRET. In conclusion, Judge Catlin instructed j the Grand Jurors that they must keep jsecret what transpires before them, and | are informed that they arc protected by law from being questioned or called to any account for any action they may take in the jury-room. A presentment or in- dictment cannot be found except by the concurrence of at least Ktfßlve members of the Grand Jury. He called their at- tention particularly to the fact that it is their duty to investigate the books of all county oilicers, and especially those per- taining to the revenue. If the services of an expert are necessary, they can hiro one at a salary not to exceed $5 per day. The Court urged the jury to perform this portion of their duties in a thorough and complete manner. When the Judge had concluded, the Grand Jurors retired to their quarters on the top lloor of the Courthouse. They only remained in session long enough to elect 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 degree last week, for having killed his son, was to have been sentenced yesterday. Haggerty's attorneys, however, gave notice that they desired to move for anew trial, and the passing of sentence went over until Friday next. The old man's | attorneys are Messrs. Anderson and j Bruner. and each of them has a special i plea to make to the court fora new trial. Mr. Anderson's, point is that the verdict of the jury was not a voluntary one, as the law demands; that ono of the jurors, { Mi. Waite, after holding out for acquittal for twenty-two hours, was coerced into agreeing with the others. Mr. Hrunor's ground fora new trial is based 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. Bruner declares that according to a decision of the Supremo Court in the case of tho People vs. Bushton (80th California re- port*^, it was clearly set forth that thoex- cuso for the crime need only be proved beyond 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 John Mahan, a stranger, got drunk, drew a pistol and threatened to kill Bert Hawk, tor which he was arrested by Burke and looked up In the local calaboose. It w,as discovered yesterday morning that he had nearly effected his escape by digging a hole under the wall. He \v;is then adjudged by Justice btoelc guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and sen- tenced to thirty days in the County Jail. To the arresting oflleer Mahan stated that 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 the officer out to a spot in the hills where lie had hidden some clothing, a pistol, knife and monkey-wrench. He was brought to the city yesterday and lodged in the County Jaii. A telephone message from Warden Aull last evening shows that the fellow Marian not only "stuffed" the Folsom officer with a pack of lies, but is liable to gee iuto the State Prison himself for burglary. Warden Aull says the true story re- garding him is this: Mahan had been employed in the mountains by a dairy- man named Page. He robbed his '.mh- ployer of some clothing, a pistol, etc., and bid the things in the irilJs when he came down from the mountains a. few days ago. As soon as his thirty-day term ex- pires he will be pi os'vuted for burglary. "The fellow is a blowhard," remarked the Warden. "He was never near the: prison, doesn't know anybody inside of it; and that yarn ho told to the officer was all a fake—he's been talking through his hat, :ml he talked so much that he has got himself into trouble for burglary." Mahan gave also the names of Mona- han and Kelly. FIELD TRIALS. The Pacific Coast Club Selects Judges for the Next Meeting. The frost will soon be on the pumpkin, and the corn in the shock, which will be par excellence the season for quail-shoot- ing. Already the field trial men aro moving in the matter of preparing for the next meeting in Kern County. The Execu- tive Committee met in San Francisco a few days Bfnoe and selected Robert T. ! Vandevortof Pasadena, W. C. Nelson of ; Trenton, Tcnu., and D. ~SI. Pyle of ersneldi as judges. All of the persona acted as judges before and pi\ i i) satisfaction. The corntnitteo adopted a rule requiring handlers to keep their guns empty until they were ordered by the judges to flush and kill the birds. The purpose of the new rule is to prevent possible injury from reckless (shooting, and also to shut oil" the the habit among jockeying handlers of j firing their guns whenever their dogs I peemed to be pointing, partly in the hope of scoring a "point" on the judges' card, j and partly in the hopo of rendering the j opposing dog unsteady. Those present at the Field Trial Club's meeting were: J. 6. Edwards, C. N. Post, J. W. Harper, William Schreiber and J. M. Kilgarif. TO TRACK CRIMINALS. Proposition to Use Bloodhounds in Nevada County. Sheriff Dunster of Nevada County has received a promise from the Supervisors of that county to purchase two blood- hounds to be used in tracking criminals through the mountains in that section, and ho has written to Alabama to learn the cost of a couple of animals of that ! kind. The Transcript says it is believed that i with their aid highwaymen and other i criminals of ihc worst order who opcr- i ate so frequently in that county, :uid by reason 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 Alabama I to do that kind of work. These hounds would be specially use- | iul in trailing train-wreckers. If one or ; more of them could have been put on the track of the miscreants who wrecked the train near Collax the other night, there is little doubt but that the fiends would have been run down in a few hours. CONVENTION OF BANKERS. It "Will Convene To-day and be in Ses- sion Till Saturday. To-day the Convention of California Bankers will meot in San Francisco, and will continue in session for three days. Those who will represent tho Sacramento banks are: President Beckmau, of the People's Savings Bank; President Hide- out, of the California Stato Bank; Presi- dent Steinman, of the Fanners' and Me- chanics' Bank: Cashier Miller, of D. (). Mills ct Co.'s Bank, and Cashier Hamil- ton, of the Sacramento Bank. Some $4,000 has been subscribed by the San Francisco bankers to meet the cost of the affair. Next Saturday the members of the convention will visit the Stanford University, and that evening will be en- tertained at a banquet to be given at the Palace Hotel. Real Estate Transfers. The following real estate transfers have been recorded since our last report: Elizabeth Jacobs to William S. Jacobs —Lots 1 and 2, L, M.

Two young men, George Dailey and Tom Sullivan, were found guilty in Judge Cravens' court yesterday of mis- | demeanor. They beat a hotel-keeper on Fifth street out of a small board bill. Sullivan looked to the Judge to be a! I pretty go^d sort oi a fellow and he gave , him a few hours within which Jo leave | the city. Dailey fared worse, however. He was j ordered to jail for twenty-five days, i Thus it will cost the county about §10 to j j punish the man for beating the hotel j I proprietor out of a liftceu-cent meal. Police Court Cases. In Judge Cravens' court yesterday Charles Robinson and Fred North, two i colored men charged with beating a ' Chinaman, were ordered to appear next I i Saturday for trial. (Jus Neilson was sent to the County Jail for ninety days for being a common' drunkarri. The case of Ah Tong, charged with dis- turbing the peace, was stricken from the calendar. He Was a "Prior." When Ralph Lewis, the burglar, was landed at Folsom Prison the other day he was immediately recognized there as Bob Daniels, who had served several terms for siuiiiar crimes.

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. The paring of anapple COt somewhat thick, and the insidewhereof is lnid to hot, burning Of run-ning eyes at night, w:ien the party goestobed, and is tiedor bound to the* same,doth help the '.rouble very speedily, andcontrary to expectation*— an excellent

et»'"A poolttoe made of rotten apples is of

common we in Lincolnshire for the cure<>!' wc:tk ami rheumatic oyos. Likewise,in the Hotel d(s Invalidesat Paris.auapple poultice is used commonly for in-ilamea eyes, the apple being roasted andits pulp applied over the eyes' without anintervening substance. A modern maximteaches that 'to eat an apple going to bed,tho doctor then willbeg his bread.' "

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.

Tho Arabs are said to feed horses fromthe ground in order to maintain the curvein the neok. Without doubt the Ara-bian hones are among the finest in theworld, and if feeding on or near theground is one reason Tor their superior-ity,it is an argunn- .: for low mangersthat should not be o\ cno.ok.ed.

Gratifying to All.

The high position attained and the uni-versal acceptance and approval of thepleasant liquid fruit remedy, Syrup ofTigs, as the most excellent laxativeknown, illustrate the value of the quali-ti:>s on which its success is basod aud areabundantly gratiiying to tho CaliforniaFig Syrup Company.

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.

FIELD TRIALS.The Pacific Coast Club Selects Judges

for the Next Meeting.

The frost will soon be on the pumpkin,and the corn in the shock, which will bepar excellence the season for quail-shoot-ing.

Already the field trial men aro movingin the matter of preparing for the nextmeeting in Kern County. The Execu-tive Committee met in San Francisco afew days Bfnoe and selected Robert T.

! Vandevortof Pasadena, W. C. Nelson of; Trenton, Tcnu., and D. ~SI. Pyle of

ersneldi as judges. All ofthe personaacted as judges before and

pi\ i i) satisfaction.The corntnitteo adopted arule requiring

handlers to keep their guns empty untilthey were ordered by the judges to flushand kill the birds. The purpose ofthe newrule is to prevent possible injury fromreckless (shooting, and also to shut oil"thethe habit among jockeying handlers of

j firing their guns whenever their dogsI peemed to be pointing, partly in the hopeofscoring a "point" on the judges' card,

j and partly in the hopo of rendering thej opposing dog unsteady.

Those present at the Field Trial Club'smeeting were: J. 6. Edwards, C. N.Post, J. W. Harper, WilliamSchreiberand J. M. Kilgarif.

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.
