Pru, ing PraPevInes.

Thirty years ago physicians were in
the habit Of drawing pint of blood
from every patient. No matter what his
disease was. he must be bled The con-
sequence was that they gradually drew
out the living principle of the people
who fell into thsir hands. Many grape
growers are now doing the same thing to
their vines. Tsey think that if q certain
amount of SAP runs Through q cane
bearing ruit, and if a portion Of that
cane be cut of. the entire vitality OF the
cane will be difiu4ed through what re-
mains of it. Mistaken idea! You msy
take two canes, each five, ten, or fifteen
feet long, and each bearing three clusters
of grapes. If you cut one off to within
foot of the fruit, the grapes on the
uncut cane will ripen just as early, and
will be as good, if rot better, than those
on the cane that is cut of. The reason
IS, thst the Ioots of the vine supply all
the sap that the grapes and csnes require /;
and by cutting back canes the first re-
ceives no more nourishment than it did
before the canes were cut, because it can
receive but certain amount. The only
way to improve the size and quality of
grapes is, when vine is heavily iruited
to thin out the clusters, snd this should
be done in June.

THE BABY BOYS.

Nv little baby boys Dan:

His sunny hair and large brown eyes,
His earnest look of sEeet surprise,
His funny ways and joyous shout,
could not tell you all about
If should try year.
he creeps 80 fast TO catch his toys,
And then he sets up such noise;
His no Sc and dog aod book and bell,
He throws them all about pell-inell,
o, Mother Goosel If you could see
This little boy, so full of giee.
Your sides would ache, fear.
In hammock low, among the trees,
Rocked back and forth by passing breezs,
The baby swings and coos to see
The gentle rustic of the tree,
The lights and shade, the leaves that fall,
The sunshine brooding over all
IT'S Indian summer here.
WAY overhead. in the blue say,
The downy clouds float swiftly By,
A LULLABY fair Nature sings,
And through the air lis music rings;
All things a peaceful tenor keep
MY little one falls fast asleep,
His mother watching near.
Two baby bOysl God of love
sends as a gift from heaven above
and like the shifting rainbow bright,
Tinging the drifting clouds with light,
Their souls SO fine and sweet shine out,
Breaking through mists of grief sni doubt,
AND make my pathway clear.

FertIIirInr with Clover.

Nothing helps land so much as clover.
Old worn>out fields can be put in state
of fair productiveness by sowing to clover
and keeping in clover a few years.
Glover makes good pSsturage and is es-
pecially valuable in seasons of drought,
as it resists it better than any other
pssturage crop. 1t likewise makes ex-
cellent hay. II cut in the proper time,
saved in proper manner, and put away
in sheds and harms, it is the best hay for
most kinds of stock that farmers can save.
Pillow the ground for clover eight or ten
inches deep if you can. Harrow in
nicely, and in March on light snow, if
it falls, SOW the seed. 1t is better to SOW
it without any other crop.

Poultry.

The real needs of poultry are few and
simple. They are: Werm, dry, vermin-
proof roosting and laying quarters, clean
water, gravel, lime and variety of grain
to choose from. II shy hens are found
lousy or sickly under such conditions,
cut off their toe-nsils just behind their
ears, and the flock will be better for it.
Why should we expect to have good
poultry and eggs upon our tables, il we
dose the poor creatures all the time upon
nonsensical nostrums? Poultry do best
when made to work, that is, TO scratch
for their living. Feed them one full
meal of mixed grain every morning at
sunrise, and let them have ample range
the rest of the day. Change the treat
ment from nonsense to common sense for
a mutual benefit.

Thoughts.

1t is impious in good man to be sad.
II tun is good, truth Is better, and
love best of all.
he shall be immortal who liveth till
he be stoned by one without fsult.
Learning without thought is labor
lost; thought without learning is peri,

What men wSDt is not talent, it is pur-
pose in other words, not the power to
achieve, but the will to labor.
Friends are as companions on jour
ney, who ought to sid each other to per-
severe in the rosd to q happier life.
When the millions applaud you, seri-
ously ask what harm you have done !;
when they censure you, what good.
We may initiate the Deity in all attri.
butes, but mercy is theonly onein which
we csn pretend to equal him. We can
not indeed give like God; but surely we
may forgive like him.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices
or duties, but of little things in which
smiles and kindness and snail obliga-

Science says now that kissing on the

Those who rebuild erect sidewalks as pro-
vided by the ordinance on the subject.
Those Who have mot rebuilt pay no Atten-
tention TO the needed sidewalk in front Of
their premises. A number q lots may not
be built upon in . year. Ts.ss will leave
ms a poorer sidewalk than we had before.
1t will also prove detrimental to business
houses on the east side Of Main street.
A proper share Of the travel will not pass
that way unless the sidewalk is continuous.
The proper thing for the Board to do is to
require every lot owner to construct a good
sidewalk in front of his premises, regard
less of the time when he may or may not
rebuild. The SENTINEL has been spoken
to by a number Of business men, and re-
quested to call the attention Of the Board

salmon should not be sold for less than
forty cents a piece, though fishermen in
this vicinity are receiving but twenty-five
cents. They boarded all boats nts.r this

THE EFFECT OF THE NEW CON-
srIrUTIoS ON THE STOCK
MARKET.

As was to have been expected q marked
decline N stocks yesterday followed the
ratification Of the California new Constitu-
ton. The break was not so bad as might
have been expected. The market We fear
may go still lower. But the decline will
not be permanent or disastrous. The dis
position Of our people to gamble in mining
stocks cannot be curbed by laws. either
statutory or fundamental. Ways will be
devised to evade the law. In the first
place the nes Constitution does not go
into effect for nine months. Then a Lsgis-
lature in sympathy with il must be elected
70 give force to its provisions. A consti-
tutional clause may lie dormant for years
il the necessary legislation be not had to
make il operative. Hence, the fight is not
yet over. The battle must again be fought
before the people and at Sacramento.
Those provisions which are designed to
abate stock gambling are not likely to be
given practical force and effect by the
next OF succeeding Legislatures. The
mining men have too much at stake
to allow il. They will gather at sacra-
mento next Winter and appeal to the Leg
~islAture to protect them. That appeal
will not be made in vain. 1t may be inn
possible for money to handle a great State,
but it can and will influence legislation.
At all events we predict that stock dealing
on Pine street will go on precisely as in
the past. The mandates Of the new Con-
