A barnyard can and should be
kept neat. The manure should be
stacked in the center, and the drop
pings in the other. parts of the yard
should be thrown on this stack at
least once day. The manure stack
should be kept lowest in the central
part, and If the drainage of the roof
be occasionally turned on this, all
the better. This mass can be loaded
more easily into wagons, and will be
found of greater bulk and strength
than if allowed to scatter over tie

Soils may be improved and rem
dered more fit for answering the
purposes of vegetation by pulveri-
cation, by consolidation, by an al
iteration of their constituent parts,
by a change in the kinds of plants
cultivated, etc. All these improve
ments are,independent of the appli-
cation of manures. A certain amount
of friability or loosenesS of texture
is required in soils, in order that
the operations of culture may be
easily conducted; that the air and
moisture may have free access to
the fbres of the roots; that the heat
may be readily conveyed to them,
and that evaporation may proceed
without obstruction. These are COM
monty attained by the presence of
sand. Soils, if not kept friable by
cultivation, soon become hardened

soil will, if left untouched, become

sion of air, rain, and heat, and for

Willow Culture.

A good opportunity for opening up
large field for useful and profitable industry
may be found in the culture of the willow,
which grows luxuriantly in many parts of
California. The New York Iadepeadent of
recent date says: Considerable attention
has been turned Of late, in this country. to
the cultivation of the basket willows and
their manufacture. That desirable and
promising industry is-opened to us in this
direction is indicated by the fac. thai we
import willow rod and baskets ready made
to the amount of more than $300. 600 year.
The cultivation of the willows and their
manufacture Is simple and easy, and may
be carried on successfully with yery limi-
ted capital on any scale, large or small.
They are readily propagated from cuttings
ABOUT a foot in length, taken from we'll
rlpened roots, and set in the ground in a
slanting direction, and to such depth as
to be nearly or quite covered with earth.

GETTING AHEAD OF A BURGLAR.
How a Little Maid PurIoined Mid
night PrOwler's Plunder.


Last Monday night the 10-year-o
daughter of resident of the Western Ad-
dltion had occasion to get up, and, throw
ing dark wrap over her shoulders, she
opened the chamber-door noiselessly, to
avoid waking her parents sleeping in the
adjoining room, and entered the hall. She
had proceeded but few steps when the
flash of bull's-eye lantern from the
passage leading to the back stairs, preceded
the dimly-defined outline of an intruder
Instead of startling the house with a
shrek, this wary and plucky little maid
glided into the recess of the stair-landing
and awaited developments. The burglar
moved slowly past her throwing the ray of
his lantern ahead to light his course,
went into her bedroom. and pass
ing through a short passage, hav-
ing on one side a sink and on the
other a recessed closet shut off by nor
t'ere, entered the sleeping apartment of
her parents. The young girl, following,
slipped into the closet and observed his
movements from behind the curtain. The
burglar softly opened the top drawer of the
bureau, and, after gathering up few dol
lars III money, pouuced upon a diamond
ring and gold watch and chain. These
he dropped into the capacious side-pocket
OF the long, loose coat he wore, and with
out seeking further plunder went out as he
came in. As he tip-toed slowly and eau
uously through the passages the curtains of
the recess parted slightly, deft little hand
shd out and ran into the gaping pocket,
and emerged with the watch and ring. The
burglar, unaware of the trick PLAYED upon
him, and at peace with the world in the
CONSCIOUSNESS OF a good nights work,
quietly descended the back stairs and left
the premises.
About 6 o'clock the next morning the
heroine of the night watch waited upon
her parents with an account of her ad-
venture. But, child" said her father.
after hearing her story, why didn't you
scream and wake me up ?'' Because,
papa, / knew that You hadn't anv pistol,
and 1t would have scared mamma into a
hit, replied this self-possessed young lady.
Acknowledging the force of both these CON
slderatons. the gentleman assured him
self that the bureau drawer had been rum
mayed and the money abstracted. and then
notified the police authorities. The detect
ives were disposed to believe that the child
had dreamed the whole mattei,s but she
stoutly reaffirmed her story in all particu-
lars, and the absence of the money showed
that some one had carried it off The
young girl has never shown any tendency
to somnambulism, and her father fully
credits her story, which he says is in ac-
cordance with her character.
The remarks of the burglar on reckoning
up the proceeds of his enterprise have not
yet been reported.

The Stanford Stock Sale.

California has won another triumph in
the sale of stock from the Palo Alto ranch.
1t was daring experiment TO send over a
hundred young trotters across the continent
to take the chances of the New York
market, but Senator Stanford's confidence
in the result has been justified. The prices
obtained for the forty-seven animals sold
yesterday astonished the Eastern experts,
and warranted the assertion that for un-
developed stock the event was the greatest
sale on record. The fame of the Blue
Grass regions has already given way 10
that of California in the matter of fine
horses as well as of pretty girls. The credit
Tor the rapid rise in the reputation of this
coast as breeding ground for choice racers
IS largely due to Senator Stanford. We have
other enthusiastic connoisseurs, whose
names are feared on Eastern tracks. but in
the consistent efforts to gain perfection.
without regard to trouble or money, no es-
taolshment has equaled the Palo Alto
ranch. Its work has been a model which
has set the standard of excellence for the
whole State.
1t seems rather selfish for us to be wish
ing everything, but Just as the United
States, with its universal resources. be-
grudged Switzerland its one poor little in
dustry of matchmaking, so California was
not satisfied with producing everything
else SO LONG as there was a single State that
excelied her in single thing Kentucky
cannot furnish oranges, or raisins, or
olives, or champagne, but she can raise
fairly good horses, and we have beaten her
at that. And there is no reason why we
should not. Surely no region could be
better adapted to such an industry than
that around our bay. In the East, when
people go where the winters are not too
cold, they find the summers too hot. Here
we find all the special advantages of every
part of 100000 square miles of territory
concentrated into little district convenient
to the city, the sea and the railroads The
bay of San Francisco will ultimately and
perhaps before very long. be the head

EFFECT OF AIRAND WATER ON METALS
Some researches of valuable nature have

moist air, sea water and acidulated water.
With moist air it was found that in twenty
days the steel plates lost from three
gremmes to four grammes for every two
square decimeters of surface chrome steel
,rusted more and tungstated steel LEES than
the ordinary carbureted steel cast-iron lost
only about half as much as the steel and
spiegeleisen less than grey iron. Sea water
dissolves iron rapidly and acts upon il more
powerfully than on steel; most powerfully
Of all upon spiegeleisen. In nine DAYS the
steel plates with two square decimeters of
surface lost from one gramme to two
grammes, while phosphorized iron lost
five grammes and spiegeleisen seven.
Tempered steel was less affected than the
same steel twice annealed; soft steel less
than chrome steel, and tungstated steel less
than the ordinary steel with the same pro-
portion of carbon. Acidulated water dis
solves cast-iron much more rapidly than
steel.

A recent writer, in speaking of the queS-
ton of how many hours in the twenty four
should be given mp 10 sleep. expresses him
self with more common sense than usually
characteriZes the professional writer's upon
subjects similar 10 this. He saws that if a
person needs nine hours sleep he ought to
take it, but that il is possible To get along
with only eight. This will probably shock
some people who think that man who
lies in bed more than seven hours is drone
and sluggard. At one time the world
was all awry on the subject of sleep. but
particularly with regard to the hours of ris-
ing and retiring. 1t has been declared over
ana over again that an hour of sleep before
midnight is worth two after midnight. OF
course there is no sense in this. for no
man not engaged in manual labor will
be tired enough to sleep before IL o'clock.
at the earliest, if he is at ali intellectual in
his pursuits. But if the theorists were cor
rect man would by refusing to go to sleep
before IL or II throw away the very best
part OF the night. These cranks would have
man go to bed at 0 o'clock and get up at
in the morning. They are of kin to the
people who used TO say that "he who
would thrive must rise al D. but that he
who has thriven may lie till T." The only
sound philosophy for man who is able to
regulate his life as he pleases is to go to bed
when he is tired and sleepy and get up
when he feels refreshed As for the nom
sense that full-grown man should go to
bed at O'Clock in the evening whether he
be tired Or not, it is notorious fact that a
mans best intellectual labor is done at
night rather than in the day time. The
truth of this is expressed in all that the
world for years has said of the students
who burn the midnight oil. The truth
about these the ories is that they were got
ten up by some persons years ago who
found them convenient as rules of life.
Since then they have been handed down
from generation to generation by people
who thought that by repeating them they
established their own claim to be consid-
cred wise. The latter are the direct de-
scendants of the people of whom St Paul
complained more than 1,S00 years ago as
the publishers Of old wives fables Den
