Gardening in the California Tules,-

The Stockton Independent says the mar
ket gardens of the tule lands bordering
on the San Joaquin River, both above
and below Stockton, are rapidly coming
into formidable competition with the
gardens of the Santa Clara Valley for
the trade of supplying the San Francisco
markets. The profit of tule gardening
seem enormous when one hears of the
almost fabulous productiveness of this
land. For instance Joseph Hafe, whose
ranch is on Robert Island, bordering
the river but a few miles above Stockton,
informs us that last year he sold Sl49
worth of string beans from one-eighth of
an acre of ground. Another piece of
ground containing a few acres was
sought for by some parties who desired
to rent it, and offered to pay $40 an acre
for a years rent. He refused, however,
to rem the land for that sum, and put
it into onions, potatoes, etc. From
one and a half. acres onions he gathered
40 sacks, weighing twenty-seven tons.
Some of these sold for IS a sack, some
for 81. so, and some less. The whole
netted about 800, which was consider
ably more profitable than to rent his
land for $40 an acre. He had in al
twenty-five acres in onions, beans, and
potatoes last year. The levee around
the island had not been completed when
the flood came, covering all the land but
about ten acres of onions. From these
he sold $4,000 worth of onions, netting
an average of 1920 an acre. This year
he has dug and sold IN acre of new
potatoes, which brought him 1856, and
the land had been replanted to sweet
potatoes. From the 18th to the S1st of
last month he sold $237 worth of "garden
truck" and one couldno more tell where
it came from than he could tell if q few
roses had been picked from a full rose
bush. Three years ago his neighbor, Mr..
Horeo, sold $500 worth of onions from
four acres of ground; and the next
year, from the same piece, he sold 50, 900
worth. On the Sardine ranch, below
MI. Hale's, there was raised and sold last
year 5000 worth of string beans from two
acres of ground. 81

A Queer Place for an Old Gun.

Recently Mr.. Charles Hastings, living
in Sebewa, Michigan, while engaged in
logging, discovered at the side of a
large ash stump a hollow piece of iron,
the end of which had been exposed
about two inches by the burning Of the
leaves and rubbish around the stump.
Mr.. Hastings then dug down by the side
of the stump, and found it to be the
barrel of a gun and that it was firmly
imbedded in the roots of the stump,
which had grown around it, and by dint
of considerable hard chopping cut the
gun out. In getting itoutthe barrel was
broken in two near the center, where it
had become very much rusted. The
only means of estimating the length of
time it had been there was by counting
the circles in the grain to the wood from
the outside of the gun, indicating that
at least one hundred and forty-four years
had rolled around since the gun had
been left at the tree, when it must have
been a very small sapling. The gum
barrel, to which a portion of the stump
still adheres, is two feet longer than the
modern shotgun, is " eightsquare atthe
breech, large, smooth bore, and resembles
an old-fashion French flint lock fowling
piece. Neither the lock nor any traces
of the stock had been found, though
careful search will be made for them.
Occupying a horizontal position, about
sixteen inches below the surface of the
ground, and almost directly through the
center of the tree, with ends protruding
on either side, it is evident that it must
have dropped there, either before the
tree took root or while it was very small,
as it was within an inch and a half of its
heart, and the growth of the tree shows
a century and a half to have elapsed
since the tree began encircling the gun.

one tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoon

crumbs, another of meat, and another of

The most common complaints of little
pigs are diarrhea and colds. The former
is caused by giving the SOW improper
food, or a too sudden change of diet, or
by irregular feeding, or from want of
pure water and fresh air. 10 cure this,
as a general rule, no medicine will be re-
quired. Change the food of the mother,
and let her go out into the air, but let
the little pigs remain quiet in the pen,
and see that they are warm and comfort
able. 1t is also important to keep the
pen clean and we'll ventilated. Scatter
some dry earth about the pen to absorb
the offensive gases. Scald thepig troughs
with boiling water, and make them sweet
and clean. Let this be done every day.
Correspondent Belfast Journal: If a
loaded revolver were placed at my head
and i were given n minute in which
to name the most useful piece of four
legged furniture in the world, l should
unhesitatingly answer, "The cow" and
have forty seconds to spare. In speaking
of the COW l embrace also the OK and
the bull. The OK is used on a farm in
place of a steam engine. He is as faith
full as a box of pills, and somewhat
slower than lightning. A man who has
driven an OK team all his life is selected
as a bearer at a funeral, as he never
gets ahead of the procession. The bull
is chiefly celebrated for his disposition,
which is cut goring, and gathered in
quite full. He generally wear an ear
ring in his nose, and has a curiosity to
know how you are made inside.

IT is always interesting to know the
process by which welLknown articles of
commerce are manufactured. Linseed
oil comes largely from Maine, and a
paper of hat State gives the details of
its production. In the "porgie" facto-
ries the fish are cooked by steam in large
wooden tanks, and her placed under
powerful presses which extract the oil,
and the bones and leshy parts. called
"chum" used in the manufacture of
superphosphates. The oil is placed in
large tanks exposed to the sun for several
days, and then drawn off into casks and
is ready for the market. A small guam
tity of the oil is used to mix paints; but
the larger part of it finds a market in
Europe, where it undergoes some mys-
terious refining process and is returned
to us under the name of linseed oil.

FARM AND HONE BREVITIES.

A New York farmer goes wild over
Guinea hens. He declares that each one
will keep an. acre of potatoes clear of
bugs, and will answer every purpose of
a barometer in predicting storm. He
also says that they will not scratch, and
lay more and better eggs than the COM
mon hen.
The belief that Swiss cheese is made
only on the Alps, from COWS browsing
upon mountain grass and Alproses alone,
is all a mistake. Not one pound in fifty
is produced on the Alps. Morning and
evening the milk is brought to the cheese
factory (and there is n e in almost every
village), where it passes examination, to
see if the delivery did not come in con-
tact with a spring or river. If it is
found right, the cheese-maker enters a
credit o n his book for so many pounds.
At the end of the year after the cheese
is sold, the milk dealer receives the
amount for all milk he has sold during
the year.
The introduction of the Dahlia into
Europe is said to have been due to the
culinary research of Lady Holland.
Having eaten and enjoyed palestine
soup" somewherein the south of Europe,
and learning that one chief ingredient
was the Jerusalem Artichoke, she pro-
cured a root of it, as she supposed, and
sent it to her gardener at Holland House.
At first she was not a little disappointed
