A CALIFORNIA TOWN,
What An Augusta man Writes From
Marysville.


NJ. A. Taylor writes to friend in Augusta
in reply to questions asked;
Marysville is up the valley from Sacra-
mento. and boasts of fine water power. Ii
is indeed beautiful country, but il is scarce
ly the place for a man with family to drop,
unless he has a job spotted. Farm laborers
can get 81 90 per day and boarded; carpen-
ters $3.50; clerks from $50 TO 1925 per
month; school teachers from $50 to $3.50
per month; mill hands from 81 to So per
day to do the labor that in Augusta would
bring from 81 to SIPS. Everything is boom
ing. The city has a dam all the way around
it. They call it levee. The bed of the
river is considerably higher than the streets.
Mining is carried on to some extent fifty or
an hundred miles away-in the mountains.
There are large numbering interests. Twelve
miles from here is a dump to which lumber
is brought from the hills in sluce thirty
miles long and costing $4,000. Lumber is
cheaper than in Augusta If it was not for
the rum shop and rum, everybody would be
rich. There are many fine fruit orchards
They say it is so very hot here in summer
that all the grass dries up in the month of
May. With all its allurements this country
has its outs and people come and go as they
do everywhere-a restless ever-changing
throng.

Egg Culture.

The London Society of Arts recently
listened to special lecture on eggs and
the duty of the English people TO raise
their own eggs, and not depend upon for
eign fowls. The import of eggs into Eng
land amounts to an annual value OF sl5,-
000,000, which means, at an average of a
cent apiece, l25,0O0O00 dozen of eggs
The import Of eggs to the United States
is about 100000 dozen a year. The
capital required in the production of
eggs, and the keeping Of poultry, is small,
the sale is regular and constant, and as
an article of food the egg is unrivalled.
While there re large raisers of poultry,
with considerable investments in birds
and buildings, the vast majority of the
eggs marketed are picked up in small
quantities from the farmers and from the
villagers. There is no reason why the
United States should depend upon any
outside people for Il single egg. To pro-
duee all they consume would put money
in their pockets. The boys and girls on
the farm could find source of profit in
paying little more attention to fowls,
''in the rough" as it were, and if they
reached OUT to the incubator and the
brooder they would materially enlarge
their profits, while they also greatly en-
hance their pleasure.

Salt For Animals.

There is considerable discussion goins
on regarding tive necessity for the use Of
salt for animalsl 1t is believed by many
10 be a necessity, belief that has existed
from the earlier times. Even Virgil at
tributed an increased flow Of milk to q
use of salt, and Plenius, that salt produc-
Cd more milk and finer cheese. Among
the recent writers, Professor James NJ.
johnson believes that salt assists diges-
ton and the restoring of bodily waste
Professor Volt, that it quickens circula-
ton; DIR. Lehman, that it aids indiges-
ton and circulation; DR.. Pleyer. that it
proyokes an increase of muscular strength
and to some extent counter-balances the
want of sufficient nutrition; DR.. Locelles,
that it is as indispensable to man and
animals as the air they breathe, because
it assists indigestion, aids in the oxida-
ton of blood and the assimilation of
food, and is, in reality, an auxiliary TO di-
gestion.
There is small percentage of salt in
the food consumed, but Professor Arnold
states that it is less than in milk, and
hence must be supplied. DR.. Dalton
Professor Arnold and DIR. Smith, an Eng
lish authority. all agree in the necessity
for giving salt, which supplies the chic
rine and sodium, which are not supplied
by the foods consumed, and then animals
are kept in much better condition than
when not fed with IL

improving Pastures.

r. g. Hill, in the Ram VerBlonter, rec
ommends as means of improvement of
the pastures Of New England, many OF
which are very much deteriorated, the
adoption Of sheep raising and illustrates
by making mention of a case in his own
experience in which an almost worthless
pasture was brought into good condition
with white clover and good feed substi-
tuted for Coarse, wild grass, yellow d. Isles
or buttercups. As rule, the pasturage
of New England has been gradually de-
teriorating, and from eonstan. use with
out any special effort towards restoring
any lost fertility. The same injudicious
practice will cause the deterioration of
any pasture in the course of time, where
no change of plan is adopted. But New
England labors under this disadvantage
that the portions of surface usually de-
voted TO pasturage are so rough and
rocky as to be incapable Of cultivation,
and for that reason some means like
sheep raising may well be adopted where
in other sections it would be unnecessary.
/ Different sections resort TO different
means for accomplishing similar ends,
with view to necessity and economy.

Not an Utter Failure.

There is always pleasure in accumulat-

it is only TO be had through vigorous ex-
ertion. In one respect this sort of recon-
pense is unique, for it may come not only
with much success, but with much that
Is called failure. A man may find his
friends disappointing him one by one
he loses position he supposed TO be Sc
cure, or his business does not succeed /:
perhaps his work, too, appears ineifectu-
al, and his efforts seem lost. leteven in
all this crushing adversely, although he
has failed in all he has tired to do, he
may have succeeded in doing something
else of which he had not thought, but
which may be more important and ell
during than that which he attempted TO
accomplish. If ne has really tried hard
and honestly he has gained wisdom and
power and experience and caution. which
will stand him in good stead in future
exertions. This is a consolation seldom
offered in times of trouble, yet ii is a real
one. There is no such thing as utter fail
ure to one who has done his best.

How to Grow Tomatoes.


Because the generous nature OF the to-
mato yields bountifully with seemingly
little care and attention, the general i'm
preston prevails that the plant requires
but little attention. This is a sad mis-
take, for there is not vegetable in the
garden that is so gross feeder, nor one
that so readily pays for all the food and
care given as the tomato. To grow il TO
its greatest perfection, the hills should be
dug out TO the depth Of two and a half
feet; in the bottom there should be a
half bushel of well rotted manure; above
this let the soil be an equal mixture of
loan and manure thoroughly mixed.
The hills should be at least six feet apart
Let the situation be open, warm and
airy. When the fruit begins 10 set mulch
with clean straw or very small brush
Under these conditions six plants will
furnish sufficient tomatoes for a family
of twelve persons. Whatever variety
may be planted in this manner, the re-
suit will show specimens for size, smooth
ness and esculent properties, unknown
TO the variety when grown in the ordi-
nary manner.
