Bishop Almany of California is somewhat
OF a saint on the Pacific slope. He a man of
most austere virtue, the grandest charity and
benevolence, and is universally revered by all
classes and sects of the Golden State. Such is
the profound respect entertained for the bishop
in California that he is generally regarded as
a miracle worker by the lower classes; they
believe that his prayers will accomplish any
thing.
Some months ago a terrible drouth affected
California; the crops burned up, the sheep
fell dead in the pasture, everything promised
a terrible disaster, a famine, a pestilence.
Day after day, week after week passed and
still no rain. The Californians grew desper-
ate. There was general appeal to the
bishop, a request to him to pray for rain in
order to save the famished, dying crops. The
bishop did as he was asked and prayed for
rain.
Half an hour after his prayer the rain began
falling. The farmers cried out with JOY, and
the bishop became more popular saint and
hero than ever. The next day the rain con-
tinued to fall heavily, and SO it continued day
after day for weeks. The farmers got enough
rain and became anxious for it to stop, but
instead Of doing SO the rain kept on growing
worse and worse The crops now began to suf-
fer from too much water, and the bishop was
appealed to and asked to stop the rain, to pray
for dry weather. This, however. he emphat-
ically refused to do. The unprecedented rain
fall soon began to injure other things beside
the crops. The rivers and creeks began to
rise, and soon the whole Sacramento valley

Capt. VIM. s. Beers, master Of the schooner
Clara s. Dyer, in letter printed in the DEM
oCRAT yesterday morning, denies very posi-
lively the statement Of DR.. Chopin, president
OF the Board of Health, that yellow fever had
broken out among the English troops at
Kingston, on the Island Of Jamaica. We
have no doubt that Capt. Beers is entirely sim
cere In his statement, but he must excuse us If
we prefer to rely upon the information OBJ
tanned by the Board of Health. That
information OF the Board, If we are not
mistaken, was received direct from Kingston,
whereas the Clara S. Dyer sailed from port
sixty miles distant from that town. The ut
ter unreliability of common report is perfectly
familiar to all thinking men, and while Capt.
Beers heard nothing Of yellow fever at
Kingston it is quite likely that the captain
of the next schooner who sails from Jamaica
may hear that million troops have died
there of the disease. The public will al ways
be much safer when they accept their news
OF epidemics, battles, and other public
calamities which occur at distance from
official sources.
AS to whether the schooner Clara Dyer
should have been fumigated or not, that is
another question, and before we pronounce
upon it we prefer to hear fully from the
Board of Health, in the discretion of which
we have great confidence. Certainly the re-
suit has been quite unfortunate to the owners
of the cargo, and if the fumigation ought not
to have been made, they are Justly entitled to
compensation. At the same time we hold
that the authorities cannot be too cautious in
their efforts to exclude fever from this port
however remote the danger

ton. The telegraph has lately given US full
particulars Of these California floods, and
estimates the damage done as high as
S1O0,0Oe0O0, but it fails to give the popular
feeling in California against Bishop Allmany.

the late rain and floods, have grown exceed

THE POU LTRY YARD.
WHY HENS ARE NOT LAYING.

A correspondent says his late May pullets
have not yet begun to lay, and his two year
old hens have as yet (Feb.) not commenced
this year to give him eggs. He has a good
house, supplies them with plenty Of food,
gravel, etc., but he can get no eggs this win
ter from his Games, common fowls, or few
young Plymoath Rocks. At all of which
he is ''greatly surprised,' etc., etc.
We judge from Ms detailed account that
various casases, combined, operate to disap-
point him..
Firstly, May pullets very rarely lay as
early in the season as in January following.
They do not mature before cold weather
sets in-and this "sets them back" as to lay
ing i'll mid-winter. In the case OF his old]
hens, these never, or very seldom, get to
laying early in the season of the second year
ofther lives. Usually they moult late, and
later, annually and they cannot lay much
until their new coating of feathers comes
out fully.
Nature does not ordinarily supply new
plumage and egg growing substance in fowls
at the same time. We recommend judi
cious use of the Imperial egg-food advertis-
ed in our columns. This is grand stimu-
lant- Fed to them properly, that is. by
mining it with their warm morning mash
his hens and pullets will very shortly begin
to ''discount, and lay vigorously, this sea-
son.-Amerscan Poultry Yard.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-04-04
BEST LAYERS.

No breed of fowls will lay winter and
summer. J. F. s. wants winter layers and
hardy fowls. All the Cochins and Brahmas
are winter layers. J. F. S. will not miss it
by getting Light Brahmas. If there is any
breed that lays more eggs in winter and
spring, aaa.l harder fowl, let their advo-
Gates rise and explain. The non-setters are
all summer layers; they commence in Feb
ruary anA lay until moulting season with
out clucking, except in rare cases, and are
all hardy fowls, and brisk while young, if
proper care il given them. AS the Spanish
and Leghorns have large head gear. they
are not adapted for "apple tree ROSTERS in
winter, and}therefope are not called hardy
by aany. What is more sprightly than a
clutch of Spanish chicks? They are out
early in the morning, chirping for their fos-
ter mother to.be let out of the coop so that
they can run at will. So it is with all sum-
mer breeds. But there is no advantage in
hatching,them early. 1t is best to wait un-
til April or May before setting. Then there
is little trouble in raising any of the improv-
ed breeds.-Cor. Indiana Farneers~

make the most of the food given the fowls
and chickens.
Three times day is good plan as to ap-
portionlng the feeds. Early in the morning
mash of scalded corn meal, rye meal and
boiled vegetables. At noon green food, the
best you can afford, and twice week soak
ed "scraps'' or chopped cooked meat, at this
hour. At evening give them all the aoAoIe
grain you teed at ALL Let this be crushed
corn, whole wheat, cats, rye or barley-and,
in variety, from time to time.
Such method followed out regularly, is
the best we ever tried. And as to quantity,
it is we'll to recollect that only what the
birds will eat up clean, every time, should
be the regulation fare" ."-Aanericam Poultry

Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-04-04
FEED REGULARLY.

It should always be borne in mind that it
is no5s the gross amount or quantity OF" food
that we give our fowl stock, but the mode
in which it is distributed to them, that tells
to the best and most economical advantage.
Ii YOU scatter over large quantities OF food
among the fiocks-or more than they need
at a teeding-they gorge themselves, and
will very quickly become cloyed,. however
choice may be the provender that you afford
them.
For this reason we deem it important fire.
ouently to remind those who are endeavor-
ing to breed poultry to fair profit-no mat
ter whether for fancy Or for marketing pur-
poses-that fixed system should be adopt
ed aal. adhered to continuously FIVE would

SHIPPING EGGS.

The season for shipping eggs is rapidly
approaching, and few hints about the best
method are appropriate.
Careless packing is to blame for many of
the anathemas that are continually hurled
atshippers. and express companies. A good
plan is to roll each. egg separately in soft
paper, much as oranges are packed for the
voyage from the SOUTH, Lay thin layer
on the bottom Of the box and build up the
eggs in layers, filling in the spaces with
some short cut hay, or some packing that
will not '.slouch" when the box is handled.
The box must be sohdly nailed together, so
that it will not rack and eaase shifting of the
eggs, and consequent jarring. The cover of
the box must be made fast by screws to
avoid the pounding in fastening up and in

country, that the northern hill side, though
not as early, will finally prove to be the
best. We would, however, advise western
and rather steep side hill when such can be
secured. as it is an intermediate, until further
experiment has been made. This is broad
subject, and cannot be too well ventilated.
We therefore trust that our friends may
communicate their experience, that the new
beginner may not make the same blunder
as those who first undertook the business.
It is a matter Of general interest to our
country, and we invite discussion through
