Anti-COOlie Meetings In Boston

The following Is the Introductory speech
by the Chairman of the Great Anti. Coolie
meeting recently held in Boston
We are met to day to consult as to the
best way to meet this new attempt of capital
to degrade labor. This gathering is q spon-
taneus movement of the working-men and
working-women of Massachusetts, Although
for moment the shoemakers of North Adams
stand in the mountain pass through which
capital hopes to drag its thousand of degrad.
ed pagan victims, yet the cage, ness with
which the men and woman of every trade
have worked for this meeting, shows that
for once labor is a unit. The moment il was
seen that the capitalists of the country, West.
South and East, in their blind and cruel at.
tempts to override all claims of free lab, r
were determined to draw upon the count

question of human rights was to be discussed
and settled there. 1t was seen that the
American working men had now to fight the
battles of labor for the civilized world. The
laborer has in his hands weapon that his
brother of other nations does not possess, viz,

This righteous indignation is found to
sweep over America like prairie fire.
With starvation and revolution staring hum

Condition of the State.

The harvest is over-the grain has been
gathered and sacked, most of it sent to mar:
ket, and the season of rest has come upon our
ranchmen all over the State. With the ex-
ception of the removal of the remaining
portion of the crops and the gathering Of
truit by orchardists, nothing is being DONE
The farmer has turned his horses and OXEN
out to Craze; has completed the annual
patchwork upon his fences; has sent his
wagons to the blacksmith and machine shops,
and now sits quietly down on his doorstep in
the bright Summer evenings to count over
his gains for the past year and speculate
upon the prospects of the future. Ee and
his Older sons are thinking of the coming
Fairs and horse-races. The Fairs are no
longer agricultural exhibitions, properly
speaking, yet he does not know that be 10 at
all responsible for that fact. The California
farmer, especially if he was reared in the
West, has little taste for experim enting in
agriculture. and if he succeeds in raising
certain number of bushels of grain from q
certain number acres of ground. and it is not
more than half rust or smut, be is satisfied.
This, at least. is too often the case with our
farmers, though of course there are excep-
tions. Many of our ranchmen attend the
Fairs principally TO look at the fine stock ex
ulDlleu Dv Others anu 10 DeL ON the races,
and 90 home blaming the managers for not
having had something more wonderful to
show them. This is a matter deserving of
more extended notice, and subjec. ON
which large class of our farmers need to
be enlightened.
The State has suffered greatly this season
from fires. The last one of consequence that
has come to our knowledge occurred recently
in Placer county, doing much damage to
pasturage, fences, timber, farm buildings,
etc. 1t started in the vicinity of Folsom and
is supposed to have originated through the
carelessness of hunters. Nearly all the fires
that occur during the Summer can be attrib-
uted to this cause. and hunters should be
compelled to use greater care.
Sonoma papers congratulate the farmers
of that county on their success this year. and
state that most of them are holding their
grain for higher prices. The corn and potato
crops are also a success, the former having
been greatly aided by the heavy fogs which
have prevailed in Sonoma valley. The corn
stands in many places ten and twelve feet
high, with ears far above the reach Of ordin-
ary sized persons.

Revival of Peach Trees.

A discovery of no small moment in the
interest of agriculture has been made by
George B. Wood, and communicated BY
him to the American Philosophical Society,
of which he is President. Peach trees in
this vicinity, not only cease bearing but
perish themselves in short time; where
as their natural life is fifty or sixty years
or more The cause of this defective
powers of growth is believed by DR.. Wood
to be a deficiency of potash in the soil,
and he sures US if this alkali be supplied
to the tree so that it shall reach the small
roots and be absorbed, the fruit-bearing
power is restored, and the tree itself, if
prematurely perishing, is revived. Be-
lieving with most persons that decay lay
in worms at the root Of the peach tree, he
put in operation plan whi,h h he had seen
his father perform more than fifty years
before, viz: of digging around the base of
the stem a hole four or five inches deep,
scraping away all the worms that could be
found burrowing at the junction of the stem
and root, and filling the hollow thus made
with fresh wood ashes from the fire, which
of course, retained all their potash. This
was done in the autumn of 1868; and
with a result, in the following spring, at
which he was himself astonished. The
trees appeared to have been restored to
their early freshness and vigor they put
forth bright green leaves, blossomed copi-
ously, bore crop of fruit such as they had
never borne before, many of the branches
breaking down under the load of peaches.
Dr Wood, in rejecting on these results,
and noticing that several of the peach trees
treated had no worms, came to the con-
clusion that we must look ior explanation
to other causes than the destruction of
few worms, and these causes he believes to
be the ashes, the potash of which being
dissolved by the rains, had descended
along the roots or the rootlets, and present
ed to them the very food for want of
which they were dying Decaying apple
trees bearing stinted and indigestible fruit
have been revived by similar process,
and with the like results All of DIR.
Woods orchards give promise of an abund-
ant supply of fruit this season.

SINGULAR ORIGIN OF FIRES The Salem
Register says that lady in that city lost
about dozen yards of velvet, which took
fire from the rays of the sun passing through
globe 10 which an ornament was floating
IN water. But for the timely discovery OF
the ire the house might have been burned.
We remember case Of that kind which
occurred years ago. A globe containing a
pair of gold fish was left on table in the
parlor near front window, and while the
family were at breakfast smoke was smelt.
and all hands started to see what the matter
was. On going into the parlor where there
bad been on fire, they found it densely filled
with smoke, and large hole burnt through
the carpet and floor. The fire bursted into
flame when the door vas opened. The
cause was apparent-tbe unclouded sun had
cast his rays through the globe of water,
giving it the effect of burning lens. or sun
glass: In few minutes more the house
would have been ablaze. The unconscious
little fishes, however, were as cool as Gu
cumber all the time.

A Slow steamboat.

ACCORDING to the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI, there was once steamboat coming up
the Mississippi, on dark night, and the
captain, according to "tine- honored usage,
was playing cards in the social hall. The
raate stepped in
Captain, out of wood-not enough left
to make the water hot enough to shave
with"
"Ring the bell," replied the captain ;
"show light, and scare up some along the
shore"
The mate went out, and the captain
went on whith the game. In few mo-
ments the mate returned
"Found ayard, sir"
The captain left the table and went out.
"How do you sell your wood ?" shouted
the captain to the people at the yard
1.-TWO and a-half."
"Too much" said the captain. "How-
ever, take cord or two, and look further" !"
A couple of cords were taken, the boat
went on, and the game was resumed in the
social hall
A haIf-hour elapsed, when the mate
again appeared
"Out of wood, sir"
"Bell and light-my deal"
The orders were obeyed, and the mate
again announced woodward The cap
tain went out.
"What's the price of woodT'
1.-TWO and a-half"
"Too high, but will take couple of
cords till we can do better"
As before, couple of cords were taken
in, and not twenty minutes elapsed before
the mate again appeared.
"Ou; of wood, ,7siI."
"Ring the bell"
"Better take more this time"
"Show a light"
dts done, sir"
In few minutes oodyard was again
rung up, and the steamer Baltic went in.
"How do you sell your wood -
"Two and a-half."
"Two and a-half be d-dl' cried the
captain.
"Well, captain" answered the woodman,
1--WE will put it to you this time at two and
a-quarter, as this makes the third time you
have wooded with US tonight"
The captain had nothing to say, but took
the wood and got quickly out OF that stiff
current, which the boat was unable to stem.
The Baltic was SO solemnly slow, that
the captain himself used to say that she
must have been intended for hearse.
She is the steamboat which the newspapers
once said made the trip from New Orleans
to Louisville in six days and roUH WEEKS.

CUT THEM APART.-Recently one of
the Siamese twins was stricken with para
lysis, and the papers all over the country
are specializing as to the probable effect it
may have upon the other They all want
to say "cut them apart" but neither likes
to be the first to do So The only way
ever to solve this difficult problem-this
strangest instance of lusus nature on re-
cord-will be with the knife, and it must
be done sooner or later, we imagine, as the
present instance is sufficient to prove that
one may be stricken with disease and the
other not feel it. Consequently, if one
should die, the other probably wouldn't

ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRB-A writer
in the Memphis Avalanche. who was on
board the r. E. Lee during the late steam
boat race, says that he found that the coal
on board was bituminous, and that it was
all in nice Jumps, not less than pound
each, with rosin scattered through it, just
as one would scatter bran through chopped
feed One of the hands informed the
reporter that the pine knots were nearly
all out, but it was pleasure to discover
that there were at least twenty barrels of
coal oil still unused. The oil was used
withjudicious calmness. A man of judg-
ment and nerve took a bucketfull of 1t
round, and, with dipper, while the fire.
man opened the doors of the fre-boxes, he
dashed half gallon into each, with per-
iodical precision. This was done to add a
little tone to the sluggishness of the bit
luminous coal mixed with rosin.

OBTAIN A FARM.-If you have few
hundred dollars to spare, buy a farm.
Farmers are the most Independent people
in the world, either rich or poor they
always have home If a farmer is un for
tunate, his farm is safe to him and his
family under the liberal homestead laws of
the State to the value of five thousand
dollars Men will work in the cities.
shaving their lives away for mere support.
Such men who may have little capital
should purchase land were it can be had
cheap, and by one-third the work required
in the shop, finely cultivated farm would
be the result. A farmers life in California
is one of comparative ease, compared to the
daily toll of the city mechanic. With a
few head of cattle on farm in the foothills,
he would, in few years, become indep-
endent, almost do without labor; he can
have a vineyard, mulberry, and tea
plantation, raise sufficient grain and hay
for his own use, and range for his stock,
all on one hundred and sixty acres-and
the land will cost not more than 81 so per
acre, bought from the Railroad COMPANY
or the Government, or he can in this
vicinity locate 80 acres as homestead at
the cost of entering it and living upon it.

Interesting to Cheese Makers.
From the Wisconsin Farmer.


Within few miles of Oshkosh, Wis,
there will be $4,000 pounds of Swiss or
"Switzer" cheese made this season. John
Ryf, native of Switzerland, was the pio-
neer in the business in the vicinity, having
commenced work ten years ago. He
brought to Wisconsin at that time 500.
He now has fine farm of 1870 acres, with
buildings on it which cost SIC, 900 in cash
the COW barn being particularly good
one-the profits of Swiss cheese making
This year he is making cheese from about
fifty cows, commenced manufacturing May
!, and has already good supply of cheese
The milk is "set' as in American cheese
manufactures 1t is heated in copper
kettle, holding 125 gallons, to about 122
deg. to 125 deg. No salt is ut in the
curd. A lever instead cf screw press is
used. The cheese are 80 inches in diane
ter, and about Al inches thick, weighing
from 80 to ITO pounds. Salt is rubbed il
every day for three months, then once in
two or three days until cold weather and
then once week. The cheese ought to be
at least one year old before being used
and the older it is the better it is consider
ed. There are small holes in the cheese
and if these are about the size of peas it i,
considered an evidence of excellence
When the cheese is old these holes become
full of butter.
Limburg Cheese-This cheese is made
in small, brick like pieces, weighing about
two pounds each. The milk is not heated
after being "set," nor is the curd stirred
The curds is put in small boxes, and is
pressed only with the hands. As with
Swiss cheese, the salt is rubbed on the
outside. The cheese are enclosed in tin
foil. Owing to tie less pressure greater
quantity of cheese can be made from a
given quantity of milk, than with Ameri
can cheese-eight pounds of milk will
make one cheese. Last year the average
price of Limburg cheese at Oshkosh was
about Is cents.
