BE PREPARED.

The haying season will soon be on hand,
and the clatter of the mower will be heard
on every hay farm. Much time and expense
may be saved by putting these machines in
good order now before they are put into the
field. Let the mower be thoroughly over
hauled, and if any extras are needed let
them be supplied now. Farmers often are
put to unnecessary trouble and expense by
undertaking to make the mower do without
repairs A little coal oil is a good thing to
timber up the joints of machinery with. If
the running parts are gummed up, pour
little coal oil on and work the gearing and
wipe off the gum. A few hours spent now in
work of this kind may save days when time
is much more valuable. As the old saying is
ever true that "a stitch in time saves nine"
it becomes true in this preparing machinery
for use before the time for using it is upon US.

THE NORTH WIND WELCOMED.


It is not often the California farmer looks
upon the north wind with much favor, but
the cool north wind at the present time is a
welcome visitor, especially to wheat farmers.
The great danger now to the wheat crop of
this State is too rank growth of straw and
the consequent inducement to rust. Nobetter
and more certain and general preventive of
this threatening danger can be suggested than
a fair amount of cool, drying north wind at
this time. The weather most to be dreaded
isdamp, warm weather, with occasional sultry
showers, interspersed with hot sunshine. Cool
north wind is the enemy to the fungus growth
on vegetation, while the other weather de-
scribed is a sure inducement to such growth.
With favorable weather the wheat crop of the
State will be the largest and best ever pro-
duced, while with snfavorable weather the
crop might be rendered poor and unproft-
able one. Let us give the north wind all the
credit we can, for it is seldom it receives any
thing but curses from the farmer.

MILLERs' INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

There is to be Millers' Fair at Cincinnati,
commencing May 31st and closing June Goth.
The National Millers' Association have in
augurated this enterprise and have invited a
general attendance and participation from the
millers all over the world. To those inter-
ested this promises to be an occasion of great
interest. 1t is probable that samples of all
kinds of milling machinery now in use or
that ever has been in use since the historic
period of the world begun will be on exhibition.
Ten -four mills will be in operation daily,
and the -four produced will be put to prac-
tical test, thus comparing the latest improve
ments in grinding grain and separating the
coarser and finer products of the grain.
Milling topics and machinery will also be dis
cussed by practical men, and it is probable
that this important industry will be greatly
benefited. If as result of this exposition
and discussion greater portion of the wheat
shipped to Europe for consumption shall
hereafter be converted into -four before ship
ment one important point will be gained for
this country. 1t will pay to feed the coarser
materials of the wheat, and ship in the form
of beef and pork-thus saving in freight and
saving the profit of feeding at home.

GRIZZLY FLAT, May 4th.
Dear Quiet Hour: Since reading of the
death of Nellie Ayers in the RECORD
UNION, have been looking for some word
of remembrance from some of our circle
for one whom the "Quiet Hour" has in
days gone by spoken of with pride. We
have had words of welcome to old contrib
utors, and wondered if the "Quiet Hour
family is so absorbed in the peaceful
pleasures of the ''Tangler's home" that
they could not give one word of kindly
though saddened remembrance to one they
can never welcome back.
ORA BRADLEY.
The "Quiet Hour" circle will mourn for
the lost one. More than mere pleasant
relations grow up in this department, and
when death takes one of the number there
are none left who do not feel as if they had
lost kindly associate and friend.

DEATH IN LIFE.
She sitteth there a monrner.

She sitteth there mnurner,
With her dead before her eyes;
Flushed with the hues of life is he
And quick are his replies.
Often his warm hand touches hers;
Brightly his glances fall
And yet, IN this wide world, is she
The loneliest Of all.
Some mourners feel their dead return;
In dreams or thoughts at even
Ah well for them their first beloved
Are faithful still in hea en-
But woe to her whose best beloved
Though dead, still fingers near;
So far away when by her side,
He cannot see nor hear.
With heart intent, he comes, he goes
In busy ways of life,
His gains and chances counteth he,
His hours with joy are rife.
Careless he greets her day by day,
Nor thinks Of words once said
Chi would that love could live again,
Or her heart give up dead.

of receiving the news Of the NOM
ination of General Hancock, and
the tidings were received with
great enthusiasm by the Democrats,
while many of the more thought
full and fair-minded Republicans
freely confessed that the nomina-
ton was an excellent one, and that
there was not shadow of doubt
that Hancock would be the next
President of the United States.
There was general rejoicing among
the Democrats, and the firing OF
cannon was kept mp during the
afternoon. Despair and defeat was
depicted on every Republican

Clearly Fixing the Guilt Of Garfield

The following, perhaps as severe
a condemnation of Garfield for his
connection with Credit Mobilier as
appeared in any paper in the conn
try, is from the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, which is now trying hard, but
unsuccessfully, to make its readers
believe that journals opposed to
Garfield are "throwing mud" when
they publish extracts from articles
which appeared in Republican pa
pers, when the Credit Mobilier
scandal occupied large share OF
public attention.:
And Garfeld's noble soul was
sadly perturbed. He looked upon
the scene with grave apprehensions
and regarded this unseemly perse-
cution of the righteous with such
horror that his soul was sick with.
in him. He came near making 6
fatal blunder once. After Ame'
had testified the second time as Il
the guilt of Garfield, fixing it upor
him clearly and Enthusiastically, thu
General at once notified them tina
he would come before them and re
flute the vile ISLANDERS that the ma
licious man from Massachusett hat
poured out against him. The da.
and the hour came, but simultane
ously came not Garfield. He haC
heard that Ames (who was then re
luctantly producing the receipt
that Patterson had signed) had il
his possession other such document
to prove the correctness Of his ties
timony in respect to others, an
the gallant General, whose flashin
blade was wont to CLEAN adown tn
line, in the CORY days of the pas
decade, found that to stay ava
was prudent, and he never appear
ed. The complacent committe
forebore to question Ames furthe
as to Gar6eld's statement and hi
own, and the papers were conse
quently never produced.

the situation as follows:
"The total vote cast at the Pres
idential election in 1923 was | ,l56,-

over 700 per cent. in less than fifty

November is hard to tell, but 1t is
reckoned at not far from 100000,
of which it may safely be said that
if the Republicans do their whole
duty they will have 100000"
Allowing that the Tribune is
good authority on the above sub
iuct. and that the whole vote Of
the Republicans in November next
will be 100000, "if the Republi-
cans do their whole duty" we are
pretty confident that the Democrat

themselves with the remaining g.
400, 900 for General Hancock. We
don't propose to be greedy about
