CHEAP labor is the bone of railroading
in the United States. Enormous salaries
are paid to few high officials, while
men employed in humble capacities, but
on whose intelligence and fidelity the
safety of trains is dependent, are not
adequately compensated. Faithful, eff
cient, and intelligent service on the great
lines oftravel ought to be well rewarded
Such pay should be offered and such
chances of promotion should be open as
will secure good men for all kinds of rail-
way work.

THERE are few Republicans in the
South who shudder at the progress of
the great Liberal movement. They fear
that when all the anti-Bourbon elements
are consolidated the organization will be
so large that there will not be enough
Federal offices to go round. But these
timid and tremulous brethren will find
that their opposition cannot check the
anti-Bourbon wave. Ina few months they
too will join the Liberal column, and will
feel the better for having yielded to a
generous and lofty impulse.

in certain leguminous plant having

The General is willing to stake his repu-

A'Case of PeJrifaction.

Record-Uni6n says: c. Clinch
twenty-one years ago buried at Fol-
som child that died at the age of
years. The little girls body was
placed in a coffin that was inclosed
in zinc and hermetically sealed, and
that in turn placed in the ordinary
wooden grave box. The grave was
dug in high and very dry ground.
Yesterday Mrs. Clinch and her
daughter went to Folsom to disinter
the body and bring it to Sacramento
to be placed in the family cemetry
lot here. They expected to find on
ly few bones, and took with them
proper box in which to place them.
Their surprise can be imagined when
they found that the coffin, from
which the grave box had rotted
away, was exceedingly heavy-at
least three or four times as heavy as
when placed in tie grave, One
small hole had rusted through the
zinc. The metal was cut and the
coffin opened, and the body found to
be completely petrified. The child
lay before the mother as natural in
form and feature as when she con-
signed it to the grave twenty-one
years ago. The features were per-
feet and the face, arms and hands of
alabaster whiteness. After exposure
to the air short time this perfect
whiteness changed to light yel-
lowish or tint with shade of brown.
The body was solid stone and to the
blow of metal gave response as
would marble. Tie clothing was
petrified likewise, and the boquet of
flowers upon the chlld's bosom, and
little doll that had been placed in
the hollow of one arm was also turned
to stone, as was the hair also, and
indeed everything in the coffin and
about the body. Large numb bers of
people viewed the body at Folsom,
and the unanimous judgment was
that a more perfect specimen of pet
ritaction they had never seen.

Save the Good Brood Sows.

Corn is high, pork is high. 1t
costs much more to winter a full
grown sow than it does spring pig.
The old SOW, if she has reared a
litter Of pigs, probably is not so at
tractlve looking as are the best of
her sow pigs. All these things may
tempt one to fatten the SOW and keep
one of the pigs for breeding purposes
To all contemplating this course we
feel like giving Punch's celebrated
advise to those contemplating matri-
mony. This was summed up in the
one word, ''don't."
As rule with few exceptions a
matured sow will rear more, stronger
and better pigs than will an unma-
tured one. In case sow shall have
proved herself undesirable, there is
no question that she should be
slaughtered; but if her past pertor-
nance has been satisfactory, the fact
that she is two years old is not a
sufficient reason for sending her to
the butcher. Some of the best brood
sows ne have known have been in
active service until they were half a
dozen years old-in some cases even
longer.
Persistence i'll the custom of breed
ing from young and immature pa
rents can hardly fail to tend to
weaken the constitutions of the stock.
1t may tend to further develop ear
ly maturity, but this may be gained
at too great cost.-Breeclers Ga
zette.

Laying a Foundation.

"Pride of ancestry is a good thing.
A young man has a right to be
proud of noble father, but the dan
ger is that he generally leans on him
too strong and don't do anything for
himself" So says the Elmyra Hus-
6aadu,an. This was gruff1y illus
trated in the comment of sturdy y
old farmer upon the sons Of one OF
his acquaintances. 1t occurred on a
local railway train passing through
a fine region of country. One of the
passens gers was making spectacle of
himself after too free a use Of liquor
in the town he had been visiting.
In response to an inquiry as to who
the intoxicated one was. The old
farmer answered. sHe is old John
Blanks son. He has six boys, that
is the only one of them worth con-
tinental cent, and he is not worth
more than half a cent" This re-
mark may be truthfully applied to
many a man of worthy ancestry-to
many a noble farmers son, and the
sons of many professional or mer-
chant men in the towns and large

ner as follows:
My big colony is still making
some honey, and I may reach SEQ lbs.
before the close of the fall harvest.
This and next month are the most
critical with bee keepers, on account
of moth. They have attacked the
black bees around me and are doing
much damage. I have not seen one

ians, Syrians and Cyprians are very
near moth proof. Well L guess you

Perhaps this may be hard 20 do. but
it can be done very effactually by
drumming out all the bees in a small
box q la transferring, and set old
hive over a birthstone match and
thoroughly fumigate it. After tax

about two months and return your
bees; clear the bottom of hive and
use plenty wood ashes and fine salt,

destroy the larvae also and will keep

DocGor1ng Old Orchards.

Circumstances alone determine
whether it is or is not advisable
and desirable to plow old orchards
of the apple and pear, an no fixed
rule can be given which will afford
uniformity satisfactory results. The
nature and quality of the soil, as we'll
as the location of the orchard, has
much to do in determining the ques-
ton, while the kind Of sod, the length
of time it-has remained unturned, and
the way the trees have been handled
are important points to consider.
Some years ago the writer pur-
chased farm, on which there was
an old apple orchard of some sixty
large trees, many Of which were ap-
parently beyond the period of use
fulness. The orchard had been left
in grass for some eight or ten years,
the hay having been taken off as long
as it paid to cut it and nothing put
on TO replace the amount of fertiliz-
ing matter thus mooved annually.
AS soon as | took possession of the
farm, | trimmed the trees severely,
scraped off all the loose bark on the
trunks and treated these coats 70 a
coat Of diluted soft SOAP, applied with
a whitawash brush. This was dore
early in the Spring, and as soon as
the ground was fit for plowing I had
the orchard plowed thoroughly,
grubbing around the trees where the
plow could not go.
A coat Of well-rotted manure was
'then spread on, and the land thor
oughly narrowed. The first season,
ordinary field corn was planted, and
a very tair crop obtained, consider
ing the shade. The apple crop, this
year, was very good one, and said
to be the best one the orchard had
borne for several years. The second
year vegetables-hoed crops--were
put in with liberal amountsot we'll
rotted manure, and the result was
not only a good crop of vegetables,
but an unusually large yield of ap-
pies on most of the trees. | cult
waited the orchard for three SUCCESS
i've years, then seeded to clover and
clover alone, keeping this in two
years and then again resorting to
three,years' course of cultivation.
1 have seen this plan successfully
tried with numerous orchards since,
and do not know of a single failure.
An old apple orchard is capital
place for a pig run or enclosure, and
especially so where the sod is veteran
and tough, for the pigs, in search of
roots, will soon turn up the stubborn
sod, and ere long, convert the entire
orchard into a broken field. This
method of treating an old orchard,
preparatory to plowipg it properly
the following season for crop, has
some advantages, prominent amongst
which is that good coat of manure
is put on the ground by the pigs,
during the season materially adds
to the fruitfulness of the tree. Such
manure, from cornfed porkers, is
equally as good as stable manure

Facts About Sheep.

The sheep is to be considered as a
producer of wool and meat. On the
plains of the far off South and West.
where there are no markets for NUT
ton, wool of the hardy Merino will
be most profitable to the producer.
In the densely populated States, and
in all places within easy reach of
great markets, mutton will be the
