TO MANAGE a SOUR SOIL.

A sour soil is caused by the presence of
stagnant water and dcconposing vegeta-
BILE matter. TO make land OF this charac-
ter fit for cultivation it must first be
drained thoroughly and then dressed with
lime The acid is known as hnmic acid
and is component part OF the brown, rot
ten subsistence produced by the decay of
vegetable matter There are other acids
contained in this brown matter, as geic
and ulmic acids, and these are valuable as
they yield corbonic acid to the soil, which
is food for plants. Its only the excess
of acid in saturated vegetable soil which
is injurious to plants. and this excess is
neutrallized by the lime, which in it's
action develops the inert nitrogen in the
vegetable matter, and makes it available
for plant growth. But as long as the
water fills the soil air is excluded, and the
presence Of oxygen, which is required to
effect the decomposition Of the acid, is not
possible, and for this reason drainage is
the first process to be accomplished.

PROFITABLE HONEY PLANTS.

PROFITABLE HONEY PLANTS.
It is better to grow such plants as can
be used for other purposes than furnish
ing honey than honey plants alone. Sweet
corn is a popular plant for bees as well as
for market. Thyme, sage, sweet marjor-
am, raspberries, blackberries, apples,
sweet cloyer-an yield honey as well as
salable products.

THE VETERIN AIRY PROFESSION.
There is large demand for educated
and competent veterinary surgeons. The
live stock interest is growing rapidly in
extent and Importance, and the need of
competent veterinarians is becoming more
seriously felt as the importations of for
eign cattle are introducing various con-
tagious diseases into the country. The
nearest school of veterinary medicine to
New Jersey is the American Veterinary
College of New York City. The fees are
500 for each term.

7NAR1LJTY TO SWALLOW.

When a COW chews her food and then
drops it, and the same time has difficulty
in drinking, it indicates cerebro spinal
meningitis or disease OF the covering
membranes at the base Of the brain and
the adjoining spinal cord. This may be
caused by bad condition of the blood from
several causes-poor food, bad lodging,
damp, unventilated, stable among others.
The remedy is to give a quart of linseed
oil if it can be swallowed; if not, by in
lection, and to apply camphorated
linipent to the neck and the spine. 1t is
wholly nervous disorder.

THE GRANGE

Fifteen years ago the Grange orgsni-
cation among farmers became suddenly
prominent institution. Its special pur-
pose at that time was such as to lead the
friends and advocates Of social and indus
trial association among the tillers OF the
soil to look for its speedy subsidence. This
result happened rs it was expected, and
for some years the Grange has been un-
dergoing regenerative process. II has
been ssborn again." and has become now
what it's best friends wished and hoped
for. viz, an, association for mutual CO.
operation; advice; consultation, and help
in furthering social and industrial aid and
comfort, and thereby removing the isola-
tion and weakness which grew out OF the
separated condition of farmers. The
Grange is now mutual improvement and
benefit association, and will no doubt, IN
time lead TO such particular methoff ot
cooperation as viii, tend to reduce thss e
penses of carrying on the business OF farm
ing and procuring supplies of all kinds !:
in fact, forming limited partnerships IN
various ways for the more economical
pursuit of agriculture.
RPUNING PIONEERING TREES.
BY these are meant trees that cast their
leaves in winter, but are very beautiful
when Towering in the spring, such as
Lilacs, Thorns, Almonds, Mock Oranges,
Laburnums--in fact, trees of all kinds
that are grown for the beauty of their
flowers. Small plants OF these, which
have not attained towering size, may be
cut to any desired extent to make them
bushy, but larger examples, which form
flower. h17f1S ShO1]ld ho nruned SDariuQlY
at this season, only cutting OFF the end OF
q branch here and there that may be out
of place. If pruned closely now, most of
the Towering portions are cut away. The
best time for pruning shrubs and trees OF
this nature, to put them into shape. is inn.
mediately after Towering, as there is then
time for other growths to be made for
Towering the following spring. Roses
with long shoots may be half pruned now
that is, the growth may be shortened to
half their length not more, deferring the
final and necessary close pruning until
later,

Tie San Francisco CAL of yesterday
makes the following report of the proceed
ings taken at a meeting Of the Pacific
Rowing Association in that city on the
previous evening: i" Communications were
read from r. r. Murray, of Sacramento
stating that several of the residents Of that
city we're anxious to promote rowing, and
were contemplating the holding of q re-
gatta. They were anxious to know
whether they could depend upon rowing
men from the associated clubs taking part
in such q regatta, and were prepared to
guarantee prize of 500 for a professional
barge race and a trophy for an amateur
barge race. Mr.. Murray further stated that
he would himself guarantee a prize for q
professional shell race. The general feel
ing OF the representatives present seemed to
be that when the expenses connected with
the Journey to Sacramento were considered
the inducements offered were insufficient.
The Secretary was finally ordered to CON-
lnuuicate with Mr.. Murray concerning the
proposed regatta, and to state that mem
bers Of the association would row in such
Il meeting in the event of prizes being Of
iered according to the following schedule
Professional barge race-First prize, S125
second prize, SO. Amateur barge race
First prize, four medals, value So; second
prize, trophy. Professional single sculls-
First prize, $50; second prize. $40. ANA
teur single sculls-Medal, value $25. 1
desired, crews would also compete in {
four oar shell race for prizes amounting tC
$3.50 The Association adjourned, to the
cali OF the Chair, in order that a special
meeting might be summoned, when reptile:
to the Secretary's inquiry into the proposed
Sacramento regatta should be received.
The Sacramento Regatta Committee will
have some difficulty in making the above
figures fit the $500 appropriated for regatta
purposes, even if, as proposed, another $l0(
is raised to reinforce it. Still, they vii
probably be able to give at least one of thu
races referred to above.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
\ Hevolutionary Souvenir.

About the proudest man in the city of
Sacramento yesterday was William B. Da-
Wis. He received note from Postmaster
Il. D. Stephens yesterday morning asking
him % call at the latter's private office at
1890 o'clock Mr.. Davis complied, and on
entering the room, where, to his surprise,
a number Of his most intimate friends
were congregated, he was addressed by the
Postmaster, who stated that he had very
pleasant duty to perform. He briefly re-
ferred to the fact that Mr. Davis had re-
sided in this city for many years, had filled
many positions Of honor and trust, not the
least among which was the managing of
the money order department of the Post
office for considerable portion of that
time "On this, your birthday" he said,
We extend to you the congratulations of
friends who appreciate your worth as q
man and 4 citizen but one who is far
away in his home, in the grand old
State of OhiO-one who is nearer and
dearer to you than perhaps any one else
living, wishes US TO speak for him also upon
this occasion. The enc l allude 10 is your
father, whose letter | viii now read to
you -
AcARTHUR Einton county o. June 9 1856.
NY DEAE SIR: / mailed you to-day an old
=
year5 old, owned by q Revolutionary soldier
many years before that war. 1t il arrives safely
wish you, in my behalf, to present TO my son.
William B. Davis of your city, in the forenoon
of June 18th, as birthday present. Should it
arrive day or so sooner, hold it till that day
privately and then call the young mans atten-
ton and present the horn with such remarks as
you think proper, and much oblige his Old
father. Most truly yours, THOMAS B. DAVIS.
M. Davis responded briefly, thanking
Mr.. Stephens for his kind words, and said
the family relic, which brought to mis- mind
many "reminiscences of his youth, should
ever be kept by him, and priced more
highly than like amount Of gold. The
horn is handsomely finished, and in an
excellent state of preservation In speak
ing o. the relic, Mr.. Davis said ii was car
ried by his great-grandiather, John Manly,
IN the revolutionary war. Manly entered
the service in 1776, from Cecil county,
Maryland, and served seven years in Lees
Legion. Henry Lee was one of the most
distinguished commanders in the revolu-
tionary struggle, commanding a battalion
Of cavalry, and is historically known as
Light Horse Harry The Continental
Congress voted Lee a gold medal for his
prudence, address and bravery In
more than one engagement the impetuous
charges made by Lees cavalry saved the
army from defeat.
Mr.. Davis, the recipient of evo-
luionary souvenir, himself has fought in
defense OF his country, having entered the
Army Of the Cumberland during the late
unpleasantness in the Eighteenth Ohio
Nolunteers-infantry Henow is Adjutant
of SKINNER Post, No. 8 G. A. r., in this
city and says that no sour apple tree
was ever grown for a gibbet for any men,

We have seen Jeffreys Lewis in her best
parts and a number of times as Forget
Me-Not.n We have never seen her enter
into an assumed part SO completely as she
did last night in Forget MeNot.n II was
the perfect embodiment of the ideal she has
| formed OF the character of Stephaine. There
was that art which led the spectator up TO
the belief that the artist felt the part, or. at
least, that she was inspired by the spirit OF
it. There was that absorption by the role
that extinguished the individuality of the
actor, and wherever the actor can make the
auditor forget the person who assumes the
part, in the fiction of the creation then the
actor has achieved one of the greatest and
rarest of possibilities in dramatic art. Miss
Lewis repeats g Forget e-Net' tonight.
