Maxim. Of a succ.~su, Farmer.

1 k'AOcC'
The successful life of Mr.. Jacob Strawn
the prince OF American farmers. is attribu-
ted to the close observation of the following
maxims, originated by himself:
Make your fences high and strong, so
they will keep cattle and pigs out Ii YOU
have brush make your lots strong and Sc
cure and keep the hogs out from. the corn
Be sure to get hands to bed by o'clock:
they will rise early by force OF circum-
stances.
Pay hand, ii he is poor hand, all YOU
promise, and if he i a good one paw him a
little more it will encourage him 10 do
still better
Always feed your hands as well as YOU
feed yourselves, for the laboring men are the
bone and sinew Of the land, ami ought to be
we'll treated.
am sa:isied that getting up early, in
dustry anu regular habits are the best med
icine prescribed for health
When rainy, bad weather comes so YOU
can't work out Of doors, cut, split and pile
your wood, make your racks and fix your
fences or gates.
The Kind Of Things 20 XIII.
Golden Rule
The French minister Of finance has caus-
ed placard to be posted, which it would
be wise for citizens OF all countries to have
before their eyes.
Hedgehog on mice. small rodents,
slugs, and erubs,-animals hurtful to agri-
culture. Don't kill the hedgehog.
Toad-Farm assistant; destroys from
twenty to thirty insects an hour Don't
kill the toad.
Mole-ls continually destroying grubs,
Larvae, palmer worms, and insects injurious
10 agriculture. No trace of vegetation is
ever found in its stomach. Does more good
than harm. Don't kill the mole.
May-Bug and its Larvae or Grub-Mortal
enemy Of agriculture lays from seventy TO
eighty eggs. Kill the May. Bug.
Birds-Each department loses several
millions annually through insects. Birds
are the only enemies able to contend against
them VIGOROUSLY. They are the great
caterpillar killers and agricultural assis-
tants. Children, don't disturb their nests.

Let every farmer keep Guinea hens. They
will destroy all the bugs. They eat them
as fast as hens eat corn, and furthermore,
will keep all bugs and insects Of every kind
off garden vines. Mr.. Scoville estimated
that one hen TO the acre will protect the
potatoes He also argued in favor Of these
fowls that they will not scratch like other
KINGS. or harm the most delicate plant.
Their eggs are valuable, and they lay
oftenfr than the common hen; and lastly,
they are valuable As a weather indicator,
for Just before a storm they set up terrible
screeching, which is kept up until the storm
is upon them.

Nobody should venture into sick room
~ N perspiration, for the moment

state Iiieiy to absorb the infection; nor Wis
it sick person if the complaint be OF a
contagious nature, with an empty stomach,
nor swallow your saliva. In attending a

breathing it.

| ONE of the most notable things
of the late Legislature was the
unwillingness of both parties to
venture upon any radical railroad
legislation. The Republican party
can make no capital out of this
cautious temper of that body, be-
cause the members belonging to
that party were as conservative as
the Democratic majority. In the
House there were twenty-six DEM
ocrats who were in favor of sweep.
ing legislation and twenty-six DEM
ocrats who were opposed to it. The
Republican Assembiymen were
divided in exactly the Same
proportion. Ia the Senate pre-
cisely like state of things existed.
Los Angeles Democrats, who were
anxious for a sweeping railway
law, should bear the fact in mind
that the temper of the rest of the
State is very different from ours.
As far as the mass of either party
felt disposed to go was simply to
secure the assertion of the States
right to regulate the railways, and
this was accomplished in the Hart
bill. The people of this county
would have felt justly incensed if
our own delegation had faltered in
its advocacy Of the just demands
of their section. We are inclined to
think that the railway authorities
have determined on policy of
Cancellation of all the interests and
sections of California, and that we
shall be met in the spirit in which
Governor Stanford met the people
of Stockton. There would be both
money and popularity for the rail-
way in such q course. We would
suggest that reduction of fares
between San Francisco an Los
Angeles would be the III ost accept
able olive branch the railway mag
mates could send in this direction.

the kearney movement is on the
ebb tide, and that it will be
