Work appears to be progressing sat
isfactosily on the new coast road
which is building from Rodgers, on
the Atlantic and Pacific, toward San
Francisco, and seventy-five miles OF
the grade west Of Fresno is ready for
the iron. In the TETON good work is
being done, and the rush of home
--nrnment land in that
seekers Tor uv,Y-
vicinity has been very great, Lana
which was lying unoccupied SIX
montbs AGO is now held at 500 an acre
and those who succeeded in getting in
ST the first are jubilant over the
prizes they obtained.
Rights OF way for the whole
length of the road from
Antioch to Rodgers are said to have
been obtained, and speculation is rife
as to whether the Santa Fe is at the
back OF the scheme or not. Promi-
nent railroad men when interVie wed
saw that they think it is a matter OF
private speculation on the part OF the
Wilbur Page Paulsell party, who Will
do their utmost to build the road, and
then hold it at heavy figure if any
of the transcontinental systems wish
to purchase it, This looks plausible
enough, for if the Santa Fe We're di-
rectlv interested there would not be
that hitch as regards money mat
tars which at present appears
s.a,,o; Mr. Wilbur's trip TO Eng
land, thosgh ostensibly for The pur
chase Of materials for the road, was
evidently fot the purpose Of obtaining
the funds to push the road through
and his mission appears to be accom-
plished, for it is announced that he Is
on his way back to the coast and thai
the work will be prosecuted with al
the vigor possible from now on. The
material is said to be en- route and il
is asserted that the road will be in
operation from Rodgers to Bakers
field by next spring.

ors are at work may make this merely
a blind Tor the Rock Island, for this
latter road is about as smart O corpor-
alton as exists in the United States.
The Santa Fe has always been fearful
that another road may get to
through the Costillas and II the
recent opening of the coal mines by
the Atchison at South Fork is any in
dication, they intend to build up the
valley as soon as possible.
Regarding the movements OF the
Rock Island Road, 1t is interesting to
note that the Santa Fe hauled in lot
OF graders outfits and about 100 men
from Kansas to Colorado Springs last
week, and it is generally conceded
that these are the Rock Island graders
who are to commence work at once.
One OF the officers Of Rock Island says
"the fact that the Rio Grande Aas made
contract with the Rock Island is
pretty conclusive that the former
road is not tied up with the Missouri
Pacific"
Judge Kelso, general attorney, OF
the Missouri Pacific, is reported to
have said that there will be no new
work done in Colorado this year by
his road except an extension TO the
coalfields. This road will prcb5s;L1ilJy;

Mexico.
The Texas and Pacific road is be-
ginning to make the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific Companies
think that it is danger
GUS rival as regards the
New Mexican business. Hitherto
the Santa Fe has had things pretty
much its own way there, and although
setting the rates reasonable enough
in the northern part of the territory,
it has made charges altogether un-
reasonable in the southern extremity.
When the Texas and Pacific, there
fore, came to the front with sweep
ing reduction all round, shippers has
tened to avail themselves of the
move with such results that it is said
that during the month of March the
Texas and Pacific carried three times
as much freight as the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific combined. The
important mining and grazing towns
of Deming. Silver City, Georgetown,
Pinos Altos, Lake Valley, Hiilsboro
and Kingston, in Southern New Mex
leo, have heretofore been getting
their fourth class freight from st.
Louis for $2.07 per 100 pounds. The
Texas and Pacific charges on the same
class of freight from st. Louis to El
Paso only 79c., and the local rate from
the last-named point to the New Mex
lean towns above mentioned is only
SOC. The two charges added together
would be $1.56 per 100 pounds il
shipped over the Texas and Pacific
instead Of $2.07 if shipped entirely
over the Santa Fe. Either the Santa
Fe must reduce its rates to FL Pasc
and all points as far north as Albu.
querque or be prepared to lose all that
business.

Fresno's vigorous complaint about
the poor depot facilities furnished to
her by the Southern Pacific has been
attended to, and extensive improve
ments are to take place there at once.
The main track for distance of two
miles is to be moved back and a fine
passenger depot will be constructed,
with an archway covering the track,
as at Sacramento and the Oakland
pier. In addition to this, new
freight depot, office and ware
house is to be built. Work
has commenced on the new
roadbed, and when it is ready
for the track 500 men will be brought
over from the Huron extension to
transfer the rails. This can be done
in three or four hours, so traffic will
not be delayed by the change.

who died on Wednesday last, will
take place this morning at 8 O'Clock
at her late residence, on the corner Of
Downey avenue and Workman

land with her brother Benjamin and
her sister and brother in-law, Mr.. aud
Mrs. b. Eaton, the parents of Fred
Eaton. late City Surveyor. The fam
lily was one Of the most prominent Of
the early settlers, Hon. b. Hayes,
the brother, being for twelve years
Judge Of the District Court OF the
First judicial District at Los Angeles.
A few years after her arrival Miss
Louise Hayes married DIR. J.. S.
Griffin, who had resigned his posi-
ton as surgeon in the United States
army, and came here in 1852 TO prac-
tice medicine. The late Mrs. Griffin,
who was very highly respected BY all
who knew her, was nearly 80 years Of
age.

How to Have Eggs All Winter.

Let me tell you how to have eggs all
winter if you have hens of any good lay
ing breed, or rather will tell you how
have them, and you may do likewise
We have a comfortable, but very cheap
hen-house, packed with straw around
three sides. The south side or front is
left clear for door and window made
by placing four sashes containing six
lights of 8x10 glass in row. The perch
es are opposite the windows. and nests
underneath. For feed l give the hens
plenty of milk, and in freezing weather
heat it before giving it to them keep
a large stove kettle especially for the pur-
pose, and cook all the turmp and potato
Feelings, and throw into it all the table
scraps and scrapings Of the pots and ket-
ties Once day, early in the morning, /
fill the kettle nearly full of milk, and af-
ter it is hot thicken it with meal or bran,
whichever have, and two or three times
a week stir into it heaping teaspoonful
of black pepper. If / did not have milk
| should use water ard mix scraps of meat
and lard "cracklings'' with it. The hens
gather around me when take this steam
ing kettle of feed to them SO l can scarce
ly get room to pour it out into their feed
pans. feed oats great deal, but never
dry. pour over bucket half full of
oats enough milk to swell them, and let
them soak several hours, generally from
one feed to the next. The milk will be
absorbed, and there will be no danger of
the oats swelling in their crop. At butch
ering time l boil the livers, lights,
and any other scraps which are left,
in large kettle out door, sailing slightly
and throwing in red pepper or two and
feed it out as l need it, two three times
week. Of course, my hens get more or
less corn, but make it my special care
to see to the milk all the time and warm
feed once day. have fresh eggs all
winter, and when they bring 25 cents a
dozen one feels well repaid for the
trouble. We do not keep the hens shut
up all the time, only in very cold, stormy
weather, and on bright days they range
on the arm.-James R. Kinds, in Prairie

Foul, Musty Cellars.

The American Dairyman speaks of the
great prevalence Of foul, musty cellars
and the consequent effect on milk and
butter. The following is plan for keep
ing cellar sweet that will work every
day in the year. Start four inch tin
pipe down within two inches of the cellar
bottom and run it up through the floor
close behind the kitchen stove, thence
close alongside the stove pipe and into
the chimney two or three feet above the
entrance of the stove pipe Care must be
taken to have all the joints of this pipe
tightly soldered. The hearth of the kitchen
stove, in which fire is kindled every day
IN the year, will create vacuum in this
pipe, which is supplied from the bottom
Of the cellar, and TINS all foul, musty air
is drawn off automatically every day in
the year We know this to be a cheap,
practical device from personal expert
ence.-Hoard' Dairyman.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Sailing stockH How to Keep Eggs
Musty Cellars.

L. Il
A singular fact was brought out at the
meeting of the Connecticut State Board
Of agriculture. A gentleman stated that
he gave his cows quantity of salt with
. view Of increasing the milk production,
as he had seen it stated that such would
be the result; he was not disappointed;
the increase OF milk was quite marked,
but the singular feature Of the trial was
that while the milk yield was increased
the cream yield was proportionately de-
creased; that is, the ratio Of cream to the
milk was diminished as the quantity Of
milk increaces' and upon an abandonment
OF sailing this ratio was restored.
This is q matter ofssme consequence to
dairymen who are interested only in the
production of milk, but where cream is
desired it seems that excessive sailing acts
against the production Of cream. DR..
Cressey stated that this was result that
might naturally be expected; that the ex-
cess OF salt prevented the active develop
ment of the fat goubules, while the milk
secretion was actively going on. Accept
ing that explanation, while it might be
expected that the result indicated would
at first follow from sudden and rather
violent change in the matter of sailing,
if the feed remained the same and from
which would be secreted normal quanti-
ty of fatty substance, from diminished
activity at first it would be reasonable to
suppose that after little time the extent
of the secretion would be restored to its
original state and the cream produced be
brought to its uniform ratio to the entire
milk product. 1t is, in our mind, more
rational conclusion to come to to attribute
an increased flow of milk because of an
increased amount of water drank, while
the fatty secretion remains constant,
which in case of cows IN prime condition
is believed to be rule.
