aiOners.

SAN Francisco, Sept. Cat the meet
ing of the Railroad Commissioners this
afternoon, Foote reaa letter from
Fresno, asking the Board to take some
action upon the rate now charged for
canned goods from Fresno to Stockton
and from Fresno to Los Angeles The
charge between the two first named
places was $54 car, and between the
two latter places $50. The Fresno Fruit
Packing Company was compelled to pay
S54 ear more if shipping East from
Los Angeles, than from Stockton, al.
though the formor was three hundred
miles nearer the point of destination. The
company had refused to make any
change in the rate. On motion of Car
penter. the letter was referred to the
railroad company, with request for an
immediate reply. Regarding the state
ment that the original copy Of the sched-
ule of passenger rate was partly in the
hand writing OF an employee of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company, Secre-
tary Andrus replied that he had himself
prepared all schedules, and that there
were none in existence in anybody's
handwriting except his own and his
Clerks. The meetings OF the Board
hereafter will be held on the first Friday
of zach month,

GargeE.

Garget, or more properly mainmitis,
is Il chronic Inflammation and hard
swelling OF the mammary glands The
term is often applied, to. temporary
acute swellings, but it is hardly -appli-
cable to such cases. 1t originates from
two principal causes, one of which is a
too free use just before and just after
part,lrition of food which tends to stimu-
late the production of gland-cells, such
as corn meal. Oil-cake, cottonseed meal
or rich and succulent pasturage, all of
which fed literally at such time cause
an extraordinary enlargement of the
glands; accompanied. with hardness
and inflammation, and if long con-
tinued induce suppuration, The height
ened activity of the glands at such a
time makes the stimulating and rich
food take extraordinary effect. The
undue enlargement Of the gland thus
produced by obstrueting the, passage of
blood and milk, gives rise to garget
not only. but is a prolific cause Of milk
fever. High feeding at such period,
often INDUCED in with view to crowd
an abnormal production of butter in a
given time, has sacrificed MANY q
valuable jersey cow by CARRYING her off
with puerperal fever. Excessive feed
ing at any time during an active flow
of milk is liable to produce garget, but
less liable than before the flow is estab-
lished. a
A second cause of garget comes from
bad health occasioned by variety of
causes, such as weakness, exposure to
heat or cold. bad or deficient feed. wor-

died recently in an insane asylum neal
Philadelphia, from the effects of excite.
ment attending an act which doubtless
saved many lives. About three months
near his home, he discovered large
rock which had been placed upon the
rails. The'stone was too large to be re-
moved by one man, and he knew that a
passenger train would attempt to pass
before he could summon assistance. He
heard the train approaching, and sue
ceeded in stopping it just in time. The
reaction Frustrated him. He lost his
mind and was removed to the asylum,
where he died raving maniac.

Have a Plan in 4 arming.

The great fault with American
farmers is a constant desire for
change. The farm is rarely thought
of as the home which the children
are to occupy during lifetime,
and then leave to theirs. There is
too much changing with .he crops
first one thing and then another,
the result of which is a shifting
that is proftless. For few years
it may be that sheep-raising is the
leading feature of the farm, soon to
be followed by rearing breed of cat
tie, or cultivating hops, tobacco, or
even rhubarb. The general man
agement of farm should be
planned once for all, it only be-
ing subject to those changes that
an improvement in agricultural
methods suggest. The work of a
farm should 60 on regularly from
year to year, so that even in mid
winter the farmer may make his
arrangements, and complete his
scheme of work for the whole sea-
son. The man who is trying to
sell his farm, has his heart in some
other locality Or business, and he
who is ready to devote his energies
to some new crop or method, is
seldom on the highway to sue
cess. 1t is we'll to try that which
is new, but not by giving up the
old and well-tried methods.-Anoer-

1t is not calling your neighbor

between the extremes of cowardice

1t is rather unpleasant to hear a

remember that to ur is human.

Fruit Tree Culture.

1. Instead of "trimming up
trees according to the old fashion,
to make them long-legged and long
armed, trim them dawn, so as to
make them even, snug and SYM
metrical.
2. Instead of manuring heavily
in a small circle at the foot of the
tree, spread the manure, if needed
at ALL broadcast over the whole
surface, especially where the ends
of the roots can get it.
3. Instead of spading a small
circle about the stem, cultivate the
whole surface broadcast.
4. Refer we'll pulverized, clean
surface in an orchard, with mod
erately rich soil, to heavy manur-
ing and a surface covered with a
hard crust and weeds Of grass.
5. Remember that it is better to
set out ten trees with all the nee
essary care to make them live and
flourish, than to set out a hundred
trees and have them all die from
carelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is a
poison, and will kill insects rapid
ly if properly applied to them, and
is one Of the best drugs for freeing
fruit trees rapidly Of small vermin.

The amount of inhence which the
reading of cheap literature is having on
boys has been discussed considerably
since the arrest of the four Milwaukee
boys for incendiarism. At recent
meeting of the common council of that
city q resolution was introduced, the
scope of which is an instruction to the
committee on legislation to have the
Legislature petitioned to pass law pro-
hibiting the sale of the yellow covered
reading to boys. This is step in the
right direction. When dealers can be
given to understand that in dealing out
to boys this species Of literature, they
are committing legal as well as moral
wrong, there may be less of the damag-
ing stuff sold. Just at present, though
there are number of other influences
at work tending to corrupt the morals of
the youth of cities, the principal of which
is that they have not enough of work to
keep them out of mischief. The boy
who grows up on the farm is the best off
from moral or any other standpoint,
and in the race for the presidency is very
apt to outstrip his city brother. The
latter nowadays runs to one of two ex-
tremes. He is apt to turn out either a
rowdy or dude.
