To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES !:
Ii your issue OF the Goth inst. there is
an item of local news entitled "Ike
Culp out of the field" That ito m Of
information furnished your reporter
has, think, deeper meaning than a
hasty reader might suspect. Mr. Culp
says he will not be u candidate for
Sheriff. That's all right. But the
gentleman did not stop at that he
assigned a cause for declining, and it
is in that cause, ] think, the deep mean
ing lies concealed.
ale thinks it will be a moneyed
light, and he has no money. If he en-
tered the race at all it would be on
his merits" These words, it seems to
me, are thrown out by way of friend.
ly and timely warning that--no poor
man need apply. Personal worth and
merit will be entirely ignored for,
with the latter qualifications which he,
40 doubt, possesses: he dare not enter
the field for the race. And, of course,
no other gentleman in the same "6x,"
in like pecun;ary embarrassment,
would attempt it.
Mr.. Culp is gentleman with whom
l have not the honor of being &C
quainted, and l am almost certain that
he did not intend to insult the voters
of Alturas county when he talked in
that manner to reporter Of the TINES.
A moments reflection would have
convinced him that the men of the
Rocky Mountains are not far enough
"advanced" yet to vote for man be-
cause he is rich, but just the reverse,
and it will be more so next November
than ever before, for the gauge of bat.

be raised from whisky alone to defray
the expenses Of the Government. In
that case, think, it would not be in.
appropriate to call it the Demijohn

respectfully recommend Mr.. Culp to
alter his views and enter the field for
the race. But if he should not, hope

to which party Bullion's favor;te son,
the miners faithful champion, inclines,

also poor man. He may have some
six or eight hundred dollars that he
saved up by workisg alternately on
the night shift and on the day shift.
OF course, that's not much money, but
it beats mo money"al to pieces. The

What Pairs Should BE.

Rural New Yorker.-Our fairs instead
of being held merely for social inter
course and amusement, they should be
q series of. object lessons, from which
much useful information could be de.
rived. The best products of the soil,
grown by different persons and processes
should be shown side by side, and care
ful statements be made showing Just
how each was grown. Fine animals,
both thoroughbred and grade, should
be Shown, and accounts shonld be given
of how they were bred, fed and cared
for. The same animals shown as year
lings, two-year-olds and older, in differ
ent years should be carefully weighed
each year, and statements made show
ing how much feed had been con-
sumed to produce the gain. The
best fruits of different kinds should be
placed side by side, correctly labeled;
specimens of healthy and diseasedtrees,
cabinets of insect enemies. carefully ar
ranged, should be shown with the fruits
or grains on which they feed. The
ground should be tastefnlly laid ont and
ornamented, and kept neat and tidy.
Athousand ways will suggest themselves
by which the people can be both inter
ested and benefited. Every convenience.
should be provided for the comfort and
happiness OF the visitors, such as plenty
OF good drinking water, seats and shade.

ayers or should be let to responsible

ironing Shirt Bosoms.

New York Tribune-This standing
question we answer again for the fftieth
time. Starch the bosoms after they
pass the rinse water in starch made
thus: Dissolve starch in cold water,
and pour boiling water on the solution,
stirring all the time, till it is of the CON
sistency of molasses and perfectly clear
and smooth. Add a little white SOAP
dissolved in water and q little butter.
Boil two or three minutes. Wiring
the Bosoms from the hot starch and
dry. Then wiring them from thin cold
starch or starch dissolved in cold water
"a tablespoonful of starch to a quart Of
water), with a half teaspoonful Of pow
dered borax added to It. Roll tightly
and put away for two or three hours or
over night. Then iron in the usual way.
Then lay the bosom on a plain board
with M thickness of muslin over it,
pass a damp cloth over the bosom, and
polish with q polishing iron, which may
be bought at any hardware store for
81. Try on an old shirt-bosom first.
Experience will soon teach what points
are to be guarded. Have q clean linen
cloth and q bowl of clean water at hand
to romove any possible smooch from the
linen. Abito Of beeswax inside afoldedleaf
of paper is good to give a smooth surface
to the iron.

Pig-feeding Experiments.

Professor j. w. Sanborn deyotes his
tenth bulletin of the Missouri Agricul-
tural College, at Columbia, to report of
pig-feeding experiments. 1t is an in
teresting and useful document from
Wilhelm the absence of ability to
quote in full-we make the following
suggestive extract:
"These shoats had the stinting infu-
ence of being taken from roaming and
confined in a pen where they could view
other pigs at large. I have found that,
approximately, 2 pounds Of food per
day per 100 pounds Of live pig is used as
maintenance fodder, and that about 2
pounds more are used for each pound
of growth. A careful view of the fig
ures shows only II pounds per ton saved
by grindingcorn. The rates of toll are
just twice as high as in the East, and on
low-priced corn about force the
use of Whole corn. Excessive
fairness has restricted consumption to
such an extent as to demand the atten-
ton of the feeder. Population has gone,
in 80 years, from % to 55 millions, and
swine from 80 to A millions only. Our
people are not lard nor grease eaters.
Grease and wealth and culture are not
companions. No animal converts so
much of its food into growth as the pig,
and none has SO little waste of carcass.
One hundred pounds of corn are good
for 20 pounds of pig carcass. We are
not realizing 10 pounds of steer carcass
from this amount of food. The ship
stuff fed pig carried less fat even in
the fibres of lean meat than the corn
meal fed lot. Experience c%onvinces me
that the exclusive use of corn meal fora
feeding ration is detrimental to a vigor-
GUS and healthy muscular development,
producing a pig easily subject to dis
ease, distasteful to our consumers, and
more costly than is necessary"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
sunshins In stables.

Sunlight is the great yivifier and puri.
fer of nature. "It is pleasant to be-
hold the sum-" and the cruellest pun
ishment is to be immuredin q dark dun
geon. We should think of this when
arranging stables and pens for our
animals. Horses have lost their sight
by having been kept in dark stables
from which they have been brought out
suddenly into the glaring sunlight, per-
haps to the snow, which has reflected it
with binding force. My COW stable
faces the south and has broad windows
all along the front, which let in the
sun, and on q cold winters day
the warm sun shines in full
on the COWS, which lie and bask in it.
lflet out they will hasten back from
the yard and will go direct to their
stalls and lie down. I don't know pre-
cisely how much more butter this sun
shine makes, but as my winter dairy
has averaged me 10 pounds per week
per COW for some years past, I give
some of the credit to the bright. sunny
stable and the contentment of the cows.
There is no other animal that so de-
lights in the bright warm sunshine as a
lamb. A poor week, wailing thing un-
able to stand, if only left in the warm
sunshine will gain strength, and in an
hour or two will be dancing around the
pen. The shepherd would do we'll to
make a note of this, for it is worth to
him, beyond a question, at least 10 per
cent. Of his crop of lambs, which the
warm sunlight, let into the pens, even
in January, would save from an early
grave.-A Practical Stockman.

Cooked Food for Swine.

Starch, which constitutes the bulk of
our cereal grains, consists of globules or
grains and heat must be applied to burst
them. 1t has been maintained by high
authority that to render starchy substan-
ces digestible they must be cooked to
break or crack the grain. It is well
known that starch will not dissolve in
cold water, and it is evident that the
grains containing the largest proportion
of starch will be in better condition by
cooking; grains of this description are
those most used for fattening pigs.
Cornmeal, which contains about Ga e
cent. of starch, is liable to be more
than double in bulk when cooked, on
account of the bursting of
the grains, which cause it to
swell, and it has been regarded by some
as valuable, bulk for bulk, as it was be-
fore the cooking. Actual tests have con-
clusively shown that pigs fatten more
quickly on cooked meal than that fed in
its raw state. According TO Stewart,
the general feeder may reach, with raw
corn, eight pounds; with raw meal, 10
pounds; with boiled corn, u pounds,
and with boiled meal, 15 pounds of live
weight of pork per bushel. Much of
the difference between boiled corn and
meal is accounted for by the fact that
the corn is not boiled long enough to
burst the kernel and break all the starch
grains. Heat acts more rapidly and eff
f~ectually upon the starch grains after
the tough skin of corn is broken and
ground to powder.-Farmer's Review.

The Significance of Rings.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is understood that agent1eman who
desires to marry a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of the
left or heart hand. When he becomes
engaged the ring passes to the second
finger. After marriage it passed to the
third finger. If, however, the GENTLE
man desires his lady friends to clearly
understand that he is not Tin the mar
ket" and does not wish to marry at all,
he wears the signet upon his little fin
ger. This will inform all ladies that he
ID beyond reach. With the ladies' q
plain or chased gold ring on the little
finger of the left hand indicates .snot
engaged" or ready for an offer. When
engaged the ring passes to the third
finger of the right hand. When mar
ried the third finger of the left hand
receives the ring. When q
young lady desires to defy
all suitors she places rings
on the first and one on the fourth
finger. A writer on the subiecto of rings
says: Though the ring of gold has long
been looked upon as a necessity in the
marriage ceremony, it is by no means
Indispensable, and civil marriages may
be contracted withoutit. The Puritans
abolished the ring, or, rather, tried to
do SO; they looked upon its use as SUI
perstitious and ofheathen origin. Quak-
ers generally object to the ring on a
count of its heather origin, but the
ladies of that persuasion have shown q
decided preference for its continuance

household Hints.

Don't regale your visitors with the
shortcomings of your servants.
Put your clothes in warm water over
night; in the morning wiring them from
this into a boiler containing strong hot
suds, to which is added salsoda the size
of 8 small hickory nut. Boil them one-
half hour, dip them into cold water,
rub them out, rinse in clear, cold water.
then in water slightly hlued. and you
will be surprised to see how easily your
washing is done.
Preserving time is here. For currant
jelly, 1 mash the currants and strain the
juice from them before cooking. Boil
the juice 20 minutes, add sugar-which
should be hot in the oven-cup for. cup,
and boil eight minutes longer. It is
very nice, and has such a lovely color.
Hot milk is recommended as a res.
toratiye, and as exerting a most benef.
cial influence over mind and body when.
exhausted by labor or mental strain.
Its effects are more in~vigorating and
enduring than those of alcoholic stimu-
lants.
A free application of soft soap to a
fresh burn almost instantly remove
the fire from the flesh, according to
a medical mar himself. If the injury
is very severe, as soon as the pain ceases
apply linseed-oil and then dust over
with fine -four. When this last v
ing dries hard repeat the oil and flour
dressing until a good coating is OBJ
tanned. When thellatter dries, allow il
to stand until 1T cracks and falls off, as
it will do in a day or two, and a new
skin will be found to have formed where
the skin was burned.

as well know it'll never forgive you,
never forgive you for that! Never"
