The Advantages OF Keeping a Vari-
ETY. OF stock.

In an address recently at the Edinburgh
University, Prof. Wallace, referred to the
advantage gained by keeping different kinds
Of stock, and said:
Variety of live stock on farm, quite as
much as variety Of cropping, is source Of
wealth accumulation in the holding. With
variety greater numbers can be kept, and the
best use can be made of all food by giving
the quality suitable to each description Of
animal. Further, different varieties Of stock
appropriate different proportions of ingredi-
ehts from the soil, and in this way several
varieties do not exhaust it of any one in
gredient in particular. For example, the
loss to the land sustained by selling milk
from large dairy is greater than that which
would result from keeping smaller number
Of cows, rearing their calves, and feeding
them to maturity. 1t is taken for granted
that the same amount and quality Of food is
given in each case. There are greater ad-
vantsges in farm being selfsupporting, or,
in other words, breeding its own stock, as in
the latter example. There is then no risk
Of importing disease with purchased animals.
A good farmer can always breed better
quality Of beast than he can buy, as it is
natural for farmers who sell a number, but
not all, to keep the best for their own pur-
poses; animals, from a variety Of causes,
thrive best, as a rule, on the ground on
which they have been born and reared; and
last Though might further add to the list
Of advantages), the stock Of farm is not
so much subjected to the effects Of sudden
market fluctuations, which, when the whole
stock is changed every season, as in some
grading districts, may cause the loss of cap.

Can T.his be TrueR

The Carson Appeal states without qualih'
cation, that "there is in a safe in Virginia
City, contract between James G. Fair and
certain Republican, to the effect that the
Republican was to get up division in the
Republican party in Storey county and have
certain amount OF money to carry it
through. 1t was found that 1t was impossi-
bic to make the split, but the contract was
made all the same, signed by both parties,
and still exists. The existence Of one such
contract is fully established and the balance
will come to light in due time"

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue and the
taking off revenue stamps frem Proprietary
Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited
the consumers, as well as relieving the bur-
den of home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S august Fo1Or,'
and Bosehee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen has been
added to increase the size Of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the Is cent size. The
august F7o1Usr for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German .Syrap for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the larg
est sale Of any medicines in the world. The
advantage Of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain the same size.

A New Mining Camp.

Samples OF the ore were sent to the State
Assayer at Denver, Col, and the Assayer Of
the Mint at Philadelphia. The former re-

were returning to Como after taking lay of

about the middle Of the coming week. Two
hundred tons of good rock are lying on the
Como Eureka dump now, and this ore will
be hauled to the mill Immediately 1t is es.
timated that a saving Of at least 81 ton
can be made by working ore at this mill in.

recent returns the rock in this mine must be

mill in Sixmile Canyon, is expected to give
somewhat better returns, which will probably
be in today. The battery assays from this
lot go little over $50 per ton, and the tail

Of two years, are from four to seven
feet long, and are cut and gathered

bark are then removed by little ma

pliers are pulled through with sudden

How to Prevent Its Ravagcs-The Insect
In California.
The Hessian fly has made its appear
ance near Santa Rosa, Cal, and fields
are reported as badly damaged. Burn
ing is reported as having no effect on
the insects. This. however, is in
correct; if applied when the insects hi
bernate in dry stubble, fire will not
only destroy the insects, but the eggs
also. On growing grain, of course.
burning is impracticable. Starving
them, as suggested, by cultivating
grass, corn and vegetables, instead of
grain. is also unavailing, since the
Hessian fly feeds on many species of
grass and the cereal grains belong to
the grass family. The proper way to
rid fields is to burn all harboring
places-dry grass, stubble. etc.-and to
cease the cultivation of winter wheat
for time, or else to keep it fed closely
by sheep in the fall and early spring.
Very late sowing of wheat checked the
ravages of the fly in cold climates. but
would probably be imperative in Cali
fornia.
In the North the progeny of the
autumn brood. deposited in September,
say, lay eggs in May. These develop

the base of the leaf of the first joint.

California it is probable the insects may
breed all winter, but they have numer-
Gus parasites and wet weather is de-
struction to them. A healthy soil rich
in all the ingredients of plant growth
will often carry the plant out of serious
danger, unless in seasons of extraor-
binary prolificacy. 1t is difficult to
reach the insects with poison. since
they live by suction. Burning and
blowing up the stubble are good. local
ly, so is late sowing, or close grazing
of early-sown wheat. The true RENE
DIV, however, is diversified farming and
enriching of the soil. for a rich soil will
often carry crop out of danger before
the insects breed to such a degree as to
seriously injure the crop. That is,
weak plants will succumb. while strong
plants will lose little vitality.-Chicago

BAD DEBTS.
How the Uniformed Company Proposes %
Collect Them.

Collect Them.
lHornellsville (N. ~ Letter.
1--WE intend to make life very pleasant
for the man who owes small bills around
this town that he is able to pay but WON'T, {"
said W. II. Reynolds, manager of the
Uniformed Collection Company. 1--WE are
in the field to collect accounts from just
such customers, and if there is one who
doesn't come down after we have turned
all our batteries on him, he's a man that
dynamite wouldn't rattle.
"The way the Uniformed Collection
Company works is this: Such persons as
desire our services become subscribers to
our plan, and pay a fee or bonus Of one
dollar. We furnish each subscriber with
blanks which he fills out and sends
to his delinquent debtors, with a
statement of their accounts. The
blank is simply request for
them to remit the amount, with the
declaration that if they do not their cases
will be turned over to Uniformed Collec-
ton Company. When the company re-
ceives a case a collector is sent at once to
the debtor to solicit payment of the amount
due. If he still refuses to pay, we send an-
other collector, who wears a striking uni
form, with the word Collector in very
distinct letters on the band of his hat.
This collector visits the debtor three sue.
cessive days at his house or place of busi-
ness. If the third visit does not result in
obtaining the money, the collector wears q
hat on the band of which are the words:
Collector of Bad Debts.' His orders are
to call on the debtor daily and demand
payment of the claim or claims against
him. These calls soon attract the atten-
ton of the neighbors and become the talk
of the town, 1t has got to be a case
hardened old pensioner in the con.
fidence of his butcher and baker and
candle-stick maker who can boldly face
more than half dozen calls from the gen.
tleman with the suggestive hatband, and
the consequence is that an arrangement
satisfactory to the creditor is always eff.
fected. We charge the creditor ten or fif-
teen per cent. Of the amount collected, as
the case may be, and everybody is happy
but the man who has come down with the
skids. This method of collecting bad debts
is no experiment. We have tried it in .
hundred different places and never lost .
case yet. The system originated in Cam
ada. We have had several collectors very
neatly done up by irate debtors, but our
men expect that. and assume all such risks
when they enter our employ. If collector
is disabled we put bigger man right on
in his place, and it has get to be a very
sultry day when we let a man rest easy
while we've got a bill against him."
