Hints on Raising Chickens

Every one, whether be breeds ana

es, for poultry market, or egg pro-
duction, has some method or system
whereby he is governed in selecting
bis eggs for Incubation. II market
chickens be the desideratum, the ear
lier they are obtained the better.
Broilers csnno: be produced at a mo-
ment's warning. Our objec: should
be decided, and our plans perfected
at least year in advance, 30 that
we NAV enter the arena prepared to
keep pace with the season. 1t is al
80 necessary TO possess q definite
knowledge Of the many different
breeds, so that we may know which
one is best adapted to bring abJut
our ends. If for market, we require
q bird of moderate size, that it may
mature esrly-one having yellow
legs and skin strong and healthy
and Of vigorous growth. To pro
duce this bird, we must study up the
different breeds; for this kind of fowl
is q cross or mongrel, obtained from
the mating Ct two thoroughbreGs mo-

than the pure bred of either breed
and is Gt for live market (if early
hatched) by the middle Of July, whel
such fowls meet with ready demsn'
at remunerative prices.
Our thorougbbreds are not suitet
for this purpose, tor more than on
reason. The small breeds matur'
early, but one hardly likes to sent
fne birds Of to Q common market
without knowing the exact reception
they will meet with. Where one i

tious construction. la 1861 Russian
omnibuses were no longer open ve-
hicles, consisting Of two long bench
es placed back to back, and separated
by a high partition they were of or
binary make, and it was no longer a
disgrace Cat least at st. Petersburg)
to be seen 10 one. In the passport
Office, the clerks of the year 1851
used to take bribes quite openly, in
the form of paper money convenient
ly folded in the document TO which
their signature was required. In
1sGl.I learned that it was neither
necessary nor desirable, nor even, in
some cases polite to offer bribes at
random In 1857 the post-office
clerks at Moscow used to lend their
friends the English illustrated news
papers before sending them out to
be delivered to the persons who had
subscribed for them. In 1861 this
curious but not unamiable practice
had been abandoned. Ia 1857 Of
fieers travelling by the st. Peters
burg Moscow railway did not pay
tor their tickets or rather dispensed
altogether with them and many ci-
villains, after travelling the whole dis
tanee, bought tickets only at the last
station for presentation at the ter
minus. Others with a third class
ticket travelled first class Every one
cheated the railway, which belonged
at that time to the government; and
every one gave the guard a ruble or
so, according TO the extent Of the
fraud connived at. The guards were
honest men in the style Of those mod
erately severe Russian officials who.
in the words of Gogol, do not "steal
too much for their place" Thus
guard who had been properly bribed,
always mentioned the fact to the
guard who replaced him at a certain
point in the journey, upon which the
other guard, in the fairest manner
did not expect to be bribed again.
In 1861, the st. Petersburg Moscow
railway having now passed into the
hands of company, every traveller
paid the appointed price for his place,
according to the class in which be
proposed to travel The guards sp-
parently received q salary, but they
could no longer make fortune as
their predecessors were reported to
have done.-Macmillan's Magazine

The Re form Period IN RussIa.

Before any change had been al
fected in the written laws of the en-
pire, when the peasants were still in
a condition of serfdom, when the old
judicial system was still in force, and
when no announcement had as yet
been made on the subject of the To-
cal assemblies afterward to be FORM
ed, it could already be seen, from va
rious external signs, that affairs in
Russia were no longer the same as
in Nicholas time, or in the period
immediately following the accession
of Alexander ii. More newspapers
were about, and in 1861 journals OF
all kinds were on sale at the railway
stations, which had not been the
case iI 1857. In 1856 and 1857, a
soldier meeting an officer in the stree,
halted, took off his cap and remained
uncovered sometimes, it would seem
at the risk of catching q violent cold
until the officer had passed. In 1856
soldiers saluted officers as in otbel
countries without balting and with
out uncovering. In 1857 q gentle
man paying q morning or afternoon
visit to q lady was expected, undel
pain of passing for an i'll bred ant
grossly familiar person, to appear il

necessary to put on evening clothes

this rule was no longer in force. Ii
1851 smoking in the streets of st

Los Angeles Legislation.

The following matters relating to
Los Angeles county were before the
Legislature on Tuesday:
By Mr.. Smith-A petition from
residents of Los Angeles county,
asking for the passage of law au-
thorizing the appointment of an in
terpreter for the District Court of
that county. To the Judiciary
Committee.
M. Ellis presented memorial
from the Ladies' Benevolent Asso-
citation of Los Angeles county. set
ting forth the working of the insti-
tuition and asking an appropriation
of $50, 600 to build a home for the
sick and destitute, and for such
other appropriation as the Leglsla-
ture might see fit. 1t was referred
to the Committee on State Hos
pitfalls.
By Mr.. Holloway-An act to
amend section Ais of the Penal
Code in relation to crimes against
the public peace. ITO prevent
horse racing, firing guns or pistols,
and using vulgar, profane and in
decent language on the public
streets of unincorporated towns and
public highways. Referred to the
Committee on Public Morals.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-02-08

and construction of local election
laws in regard to few individ-
ual votes, alleged to have been cast
illegally. Members of the House
outside of the Committee had,
therefore, very evident reasons for
following the lead of their party
friends on the committee, without
thereby necessarily subjecting
themselves to the charge of parti-
zanship.
Gov. Pacheco will remain here
about week and then return to
California. He says there is no
foundation for the published report
that he has been offered or Is seek
ing any foreign appointment.
No Further Action on the Chinese
Questiou.
WASHINGTON, Feb. It'll. - The
sessions of the House Committee
on Education and Labor to-day
was devoted, by an assign
ment made several weeks
ago, to the consideration OF
business connected with school
land grants, etc., ana consequently
nothing further was done in regard
to the Chinese question. 1t will
probably await the reception by
Congress Of the Presidents mes
sage on this subject, as it is expect
ed to be ready for transmission to
Congress at very early day. The
California delegation are still
working to secure speedy and di-
rect legislation to head off Chinese
immigration, but the action of the
California Legislature limiting its
request for relief to diplomatic mod
itication Of treaties, as shown by
the concurrent resolutions lately
sent to Congress, is powerfully
made use of by the hostile or indif.
ferent as an excuse to delay legis.
lation until Oh attempt to patch UP
the Burlingame treaty shall have
succeeded or failed.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-02-08

THE long Pacheco- Wigginton
contest is at last over. The House
Committee on Elections, after the
fullest possible Investigation of the
facts, decided that Mr.. Wigginton
had a fair majority of four votes.
The House OF Representatives, as
whole, have ratified the judgment
of the Committee. The swearing
in of Mr.. Wigginton, ceremony
which took place yesterday, brings
to a period controversy which
was prosecuted with extraordinary
energy on both sides. Every con-
sideration which the facts of the
case permitted has been extended
to Mr.. Pacheco except unseating
an opponent who was lawfully
elected.
