Three Men Killed by G,i2z'y Bear
from the san jose can Independent.

from the san jose lN&i,l independent,
On the 18th inst, three men, whose
names are unknown, but who had been
keeping q dairy on the San Benito ranch,
came to their death in most horrible
manner On Thursday one OF their cows
stravcd away and was lost On the next
morning, before bre0kta two of them
started out to tqke look for the missing
animal After travelling up the ravine for
some distance they discovered the COW
living among the brush. Thinking she
was asleep they went up to start her home;
but it appears the COW had been killed 10y
a grizzly, who was Mt this time lying at her
side As the men approached the bear
leaped upon the foremost ony, and, throw
ing him to the ground, tore out his en-
trails, and then, selling the second
caught his head in bis mouth and bit it
entirely OF, mangling it tearfully. The
bear then resumed his position by the
body OF the dead COW. The man who was
FIST attacked did not die Immediately, but
had strength enough left to drag himself
short distance from the spot.
In the meantime, the man LETT at the
camp having prepared breakfast, went out
10 call up the companions. Finding their
trail he followed il until he saw the COW
lying in the bushes; and thinking he
would drive her home he approached the
spot, when the bear springing upon him,
Instantly gilIed him. managing him in the
most horrible manner The surviving VIC
tim, who WIS lying in the bush ot q short
distance from the scene, witnessed his APP
preach aud death, but was SO terribly
wounded that he was unable 10 give any
warning, The bodies were found a short
time afterward and conveyed TO tbs camp
where the survivor died during the ensuing
night, after relating the aAair as we have

Irrigation.

UNLESS we entirely misapprehend the
growth of public opinion upon the sub.
ject of irrigation, there will be considera.
ble attempted in that line within the next
twelve months all over the older settled
States.
The fall is the best time to make pre-
paration. Across every brook that has in
any of its windings an altitude above any
other portion of the farm, build a dam,
which shall be 80 constructed that the
pond thus formed can be lowered one
foot if 1t is large, and two feet If 1t is
small, in short space of time.
The theory Is this Few streams on
ordinary farms will suffice to keep con-
stantly wet (were it desirable) any very
large portion of land. Wettingtwice each
week, or three times, is better than moth
ing; and 1t you can accumulate sufficient
water to make stream that will hjw to
the end of your channel, and thoroughly
wet all the section intended once in forty
eight hours, or once in twenty-iour, it is
far better than to have the little stream
spend itself on the ground contiguous to
the dam and adjacent to the two or three
first openings in the sluiceway.
AL that can be done in the dry season
is to prepare the dam. This can be made
| probably cheapest on farms where stone
is abundant by digging a trench any
where from two to four feet wide, as the
height of the dam is to be, and then in
this trench laying wall as solid as may
be, slanting from the bottom to the top
or both sides, and then filling in the up.
per side from four to six feet with gravel.
Ii the water is to be taken cut both
sides, little fumes must be inserted in the
wall, which, sround their outermost edge,
will need sheet of board-piling to pre-
vent the water from working under, and
thus doing damage.
Where there are no stones, earth will
answer, if the overflow is guarded by q
section of boards laid on the top of the
dam, with board at each side, exactly in
the shape of wide spout. The upper
end of the platform must be piled to pre-,
vent the water getting under it and car.
rying away the structure.
When the early fall rains come, and the
pond is full, trace your bitches, giving
about six inches fall to sixteen feet. The
water let into little furrow made with
the corner of hoe will indicate the
proper level, which, when accomplished
the plow and the shovel will finish the
ditch, and the WORK is done.-HeGrth dnt

Budding the Rose.

FROM tho VlLa Gardener, q new publ
cation in London, England, we copy the
following paragraphs:
But two things are necessary to bud
roses successfully. The stock must be
in the right state and so must the bud.
Unless the bark of the rose will separate
freely from its woody foundation, bud
ding cannot be successfully performed.
The answer, then, to the question is, in
general terms, at any time when the bark
of the stock, and of the scion or bud, will
rise that is, separate freely from their
respective wood. For it is essential that
the bark of the stem should open freely
to receive the bud, and that the bud with
its accompanying bark, should be deposit
ed in its new home with the least possible
bTuise or injury. Some may take excep-
tion to this general principle, as far as the
bud is concerned. As long as the stock is
right in regard to the free circulation OF
lis bark from its wood, it is in condition
for budding.
If the bud and its bark will not leave
the wood freely, some simply cut it of
with thin slice of wood, and insert il
without the conditions recommended.
Now there is no doubt that such buds will
often grow; but the plan is not TO be rec
commended, especially as the bud snd bark
budding is so much more simple, expedi.
tious and successful. Again, the question
when to bud may be answered pretty cor.
rectly by specifying the time from the
middle of June TO the middle of Angus,
inclusive, as the hest budding season
though the operation may be performed
at any time when stocks and buds ara il
the state already described.

Trust What Time Has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice OF the people is the
voice Of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony OF honest and en-
lighteued witnesses extending through series OF
years, and ell to the same purport, IS worthy OF
crcdence, admits OF no question. Upon such tes-
timony the reputation Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters as an antidote and cure for many ailments
is based. Iuring the twenty years that it has
been before the world innuRerable preparations
intended to compete with it have gone up like
rockets, and come down the extinguishedssticks.
Meanwhile the progress Of that Incompatible
tonic has been swift ard steady-alvays upward
and onward like the eagles flight. It's introduc-
tion produced revolution in therapeutics, and it
proved to be one Of those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards. To-day Hostetter's
Bltters is one of the most popular remedies in
christendom, and commands larger sale than any
other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side of the Atlantic. AS a cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility and as q preventive of epidemic
fevers it takes precedence OF every other remedy.
This fact should teach the ambitious country
dealers who endeavor to foist their local abortions
on the public in its stead, how futile their small
attempts TO cajole the community must necessa-
rily bs. Where the game fish have failed there is
no chance for " suckers"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Preparing for Winter.


A LITTLE extra exertion this fall will ena.

want of adequate shelter than from lack

is the time to prepare shelter for the com

persons only top their sheds with light
covering of straw. In this the water is
dropping through constantly from the ef
fects of each succeeding thaw, to the evi.
dent discomfort of the stock.
One OF the principal sources of evil in
| wintering stock is lack of water. Driv
ing them once day to some frozen pond
in winter, and allowing them to drink 9
scanty supply through the ice, is not con
ducive to their Well-being. If running

Winter Effects Of Summer DrOughts.

WESTERN hoTticulturists have suffered
much from protractcd drought this sum
mer, and it may not be smiss to remind
them that the consequences will not be
over with the first rain. 1t is well known
now that the vitality of plants are affect.
ed by. untowaId circr instances, pretty
much ss animals are. A half-stSrved man,
or one affected by long enervating sum
mer's heat, will have his constitution so
weakened, that he falls an easy prey TO
the first enemy. So plant which grows
in poor soil, has not the power of storing
up latent heat, as it has nothing to store
from, is easily killed by a slight frost,
while under other circumstances 1t would
endure very hard weather. Again, a
plsat in very wet ground is incapable of
properly organizing its food in summer,
and it also gives way under slight cold.
The effects of great summer heat is just
the same. The great evaporation takes
all the moisture, and none is left for the
elaboration of food. A plant which suf-
fers for want of water in summer, easily
dies in the winter time.
These points are not merely theoreti-
cal, but are explanations of facts which
have actually occurred. 1t will therefore
be well for those who have rare plants or
trees which they prize, to look ahead at
these probabilities.
One Of the best things to be done as a
precautionary measure, is 20 top dress
with little manure any tree likely to
suffer. Manure not only feeds roots, bat
encourages their production; and this
will increase the opportunities of the
plant to lay up the necessary heat giving
material, yet before the growing principle
ceases its active work. Beyond this a
little protection from cold winds, where
the valuable specimens are in exposed
places, will be very useful.
1t may not be out of place to no
tice that with the discovery of these facts
about the causes of winter destruction
comes 8 new view of the value of ther.
mometrical observations. At one time /,
was supposed that the marking of ther-
mometer would indicate exactly the de-
gree of cold plant would stand. 1t was
SO with animals. But we now know that
we often suffer more from heat when the
thermometer is at e5e, than when at $50,
and some will suffer more at one temper.
ature than others will. This is owing to
the varying nature of other elements as
well as mere heat-and the varying de-
erees of vitality in individuals. The ther.
mometer therefore is of little value in de
termining what plant will stand, and
the long tables OF plants and degrees
people used to take so much trouble to
make up, are now of little more use than
waste paaer.
Here is the axiom to remember: The
hardness of plants is dependent on their
vitality, and this. is again dependent on
their ability to maintain heat under
unfavorable circumstances. - Gardeners

After stating the pledges made by the
