lLiouorice Cn1tnre I'M California

LiquOrice Culture In California.
Among the many industries recently
introduced into California the cultiva-
ton of liquorice promises to be one, Of
considerable importance. Some thirty
years ago the cultivation Of lquorice
was attempted on Long Island, but the
climate was too cold and the roots were
soon destroyed by freezing. The plant
might be raised in any of our southern
states, as we'll as in California, but for
some reason it has been neglected, and,
in consequence, we import vast quantl-
ties Of the roots. Liquorice requires q
very deep and moist soil, because the
roots penetrate to considerable depth
and IN all directions, and the crop is not
gathered until the ground is pretty we'll
filled with the long rope like roots,
which usually take from three to four
years from the time OF planting to ma
ture. In gathering the crop, the entire
soil to the depth to wHichthe roots pene-
trate has to be worked over With forks
and spades, or many pieces will be left
to grow again. g

Il
a writer on dairy matters in one Of
our eastern exchanges says: The be-.
havior OF cream BY the: addition of wa
tor ls 9 subject that should be well un-
derstood by the owners Of creameries.
II - known thatthe addition OF cold wa
ter TO the milk causes the cream to rise
with greater rapidity than it would 9th
erWlse do. But the effect Of adding Wa
ter to the cream itself is not so we'll un-
derstood.. Cream is lighter than milk
and water is also lighter than milk.
There is very little difference between
the spe c1fic GRANTEES of cream and wa
ter. Indeed very poor cream may be of
precisely the same specific gravity as
water. Cream varies much in it's char.
acter. OF six samples, the proportion
of water contained have been found TO
vary from 30 to 20. IS per cent. while
the proportions Of actual fat have var
led from 10 to 1873 per cent. It is q
fact that cream is not only exceedingly
rich milk, and the milk of the cream has
precisely the specific gravity of SKINNED
milk that is free from fat, which is /,
OBS. The fat of milk has specific
gravity of g, so that it is quite easy to
calculate how much fat there is required
to make the cream weigh precisely the
same as water. Then water and cream
thoroughly mixed would not separate,
and q certain proportion of water may
be mixed with cream, and if the water
is properly thick and colored as il
is sometimes, with starch and yellow
matter, nothing but chemical analysis
would detect the adulteration. As !:
practical illustration Of the possibility
of dishonest treatment of cream We
might refer to an experiment. made by
Prof. Muncy, at the Iowa College, il
which eight parts of water were added
to two parts of cream. and two and :.
quarter hours after the cream which
separated was doubled in quantity
while in IL hours the cream still showed
an increased bulk of one part in 20, or
per cent. These facts show that tn,
cream gauge and the milk-can ar,
neither to be relied upon as test o
cream, while the natural variation il
quality, which is 50 large, must neces
sarily operate to the disadvantage O
those whose cream is richest in fat, il
favor of those whose cream is poor.

Hints for Mothers.
A GOOD gargle for sore throat is made
of vinegar and little red pepper mixed
with water.
COFFEE or tea should never be given
to children at night. They disturb the
nerve system and make children cross
and peevish.
COARSE brown paper soaked in vine
gar and placed on the forehead is good
for sick headache. II the eyelids arc
gently bathed in cool water the pain in
the head is greatly allayed.
WHEN putting glycerine on chapped
hands, first wash them thoroughly in
soap and water, and when quite dry rub
in the glycerine. This process will be
found much better than the old one.
BAKING soda is one of the best known
remedies for burns and scalds. It
should be Immediately applied either
vet or dry. It almost instantly relieves
the burning sensation and helps to heal.

trict, county and precinct officers; proyid-
cd they shall be citizens of the United

Jaws appliablc to all the Territories, which
allows the votes Of those who had declared
their intentions to become citizens and
had taken an oath to support the consti.
tuition, in all cases in organizing the Ter

JOHN HALEY AND sINoI0ER

The Democratic Convention Of Idaho
has nominated Hon. John Haley for
Delegate to Congress. The Portland News
alls him the Mormon nominee. Haley
is member Of the Episcopal church in
good standing. We suppose the Neus
editor will admit that the Mormons have
some rights as well as other people. Hail
ey desires that they shall enjoy whatever
rights they possess--no more, ne less
aud to this extent only he is Mormon.
If Mormons vote for him instead of Sing
User they will show good sense, because
Singiser has opposed them, justly aud
unjustly, in season and out of season.
Besides, he is a walking brandy cask.
Major Manning, a leading Republican Of
Lewiston, told us short time ago that
Singiser was full all the while, being much
Of the time utterly unable to attend to
business. Mr., Haley, on the other hand,
very rarely drinks liquor. Once in
long time he takes small "snort" and
that is all-Abbott's paper of The
Daliss.
Mr.. Abbott got his information from
doubtful source.

The Ketcl,um Keystone, HALEY or
gan, has the following in relation to the
North's going to Washington:
We can scarcely appreciate the modesty
that proposes to exclusively dictate Del
egate for the Territory whose whole duty
will be to knock it into pieces. Idaho
needs Representative and not butcher.
If this carving business once commences
none can predict where it will stop. Wash
ington may take the North Oregon the
West and Nevada the South. While
such subdivision might not be altogeth.
er obnoxious to many, it is certainly not
the disposition Of the people Of either
party to destroy Idaho Territory just yet.
We have never known of Territory that
voluntarily and wilfully committed suicide
but this seems to be the aim and import
of all this hub bub up North.
The Keystone evidently don't know
what he is talking about. If the editor
could have visited the North aud seen its
geographical position, he would, as did
Col. Shoupe few days ago when here,
for the first time, change his views, and
say with him he would not oppose di.
vision aud annexation to Washington.

Horace Greedy: If you want to
keep town from thriving don't erect
more dwellings then you can con.
veniently occupy yourself. If you
should accidentally have an empty
building and anyone should want to
rent it,, ask three times the value
of it, demand a Shylock price for
every foot of ground that God has
given you stewardship over. Turn
q cold shoulder to every mechanic
and business man who seeks to
make a home with you. Look at
every new conner with a seowl.
Run down the work of new work
men. Go abroad for wares rather
than seek to do business in your
midst. Fail to advertise or in any
other way to support newspaper.
SO that people abroad may not know
whether business is going on i'm
your town or not. Wrap yourself
with a cloak Of impervious selfish,
ness. There is no more effectual
way to retard the growth of a town
than actions like these enumerated.

Major Fleming and Mr.. Deans asked to be

Pioneer Press, May "a: The dead
body of a man was found floating in
the Missouri river near Belleville,
Saryp county, yesterday. An in
quest was held, and it was found
that the body had an ugly cash over
the left eye and bullet hole under
the left arm pit. A bullet had
passed entirely through the body.
The neck was circled by blue mark
as if made by a rope to produce
strangulation. The coroner's ver-
dict was murdered by a person un-
keown. The man was probably
killed in Omaha and thrown into
the river. 1t was shown by papers
and theater bills that he had been
in Omaha. No money was found
on him. In his note book, written
in German, were the addresses of
several persons, among which was
Joseph Leinkerg;; No. 2, South
Twenty y-eighth street. Chicago, and
T. Seranta Cruma, St. Joe, Mo.
The name of the deceased was
probably Matthias Fee. He was well
dressed.

Milwaukee, May 26: There is
great excitement at Oak Creek over
the action Of the relatives Of Horace
Baldwin in saving off his legs when
he died last week, to make him fit
the coffin. Baldwin was six feet
seven inches tall, and when the day
Of the funeral came, it was found
that the body was too long Cor the
coffin. and the nephew severed the
feet from the body with a common
saw. While at work he thought
Baldwin moved, and he fell in a
dead faint, when another relative
finished cutting off the limbs. At
one time, soon after the funeral, it
was thought the nephew would be
mobbed by neighbors, but the crowd
was ddieted by the supervisor.
