oil soap is n good specific in fighting

slugs, etc. Tobacco smoke, for plant
lice, and tobacco decoction are
admirable to destroy vermin on
domestic animals, like lice and
ticks. Bisulphide of carbon is valuable
for destroying grain insects in the bin.

FINE STOCK RAISING.
What Careful Breeding Has Done fsr De-
Agricultural World.


The breeder is not behind the MAN.
ufacturer and inventor in the work
accomplished, though his work has
been more difficult, and has extended
over greater period of time. When
the field is observed, it shows most
wonderful progress for the breeder
during the past fifty years. He has
taken all the domestic animals from
their original condition and nodded
or changed them in form, as though
modelling from clay, and the charac-
teristlcs of each breed have been
fixed according to his preference. He
has divided the horses into breeds and
classified them. producing from the
same original stock, the heavy drafts,
the runner and the trotter. not ex-
cepting the ponies, and is now at
work on fast-gaited walking horses,
each family being entirely diff
ferent from the others, while
crosses of the ass and the horse OF
the present day produce mules OF
larger siz, than either parent. The
cattle have been classified in man.
ner to permit of the selection of par
ticular breeds for any purpose to which
such stock may be adapted. The
Shorthoms, Herefords and Polled An
gus are bred solely for beef, the Jer-
seys and Guernseys are especially
adapted for the production of butter,
the Devons are best rs oxen, and the
Holsteins and Ayrshires excel rs milk
producers, though the latter breeds
are excellent butter-producers also.
The breeder operations with swine
have also been very successful. He
has bred them to uniformity of color
truly remarkable. The Berkshire is
not only specially provided with large,
full, prominent hams, but is also
marked with black hair and four white
feet, as well as white spot on the
forehead and on the tuft of the tail.
The Essex is entirely black. and bred
long in the body as pro-
Queer of side meat, while the
short-faced Yorkshires, white in
color mature very early, and ex-
Gel in the production of fat and lard.
Sheep are classified into mutton and
wool breeds the former being subdi-
vided into families that produce a
larger proportion of marbled flesh.
according to maturity of size, while
the wool breeds are made to produce
long, middle or fine wool, according
to preference. No work of the breeder
has been considered impossible. His
efforts have been successful in every
direction. Even the poultry has been
classified, and the breeder has even
destroyed the propensity to incubate
in some breeds. The great value OF
the work done by the breeders who
have brought about these classified
lions can not be estimated as the in
crease is not confined to single year.
Whether the limit of improvement has
been reached or not can not be stated,
but in the face of such wonderful &C
complishments it is safe to claim that
nothing seems impossible. PhiLGIel-

Still the injunction suit against the

ing order was granted Judge Van Brunt
fixed August 2 as the Gay On which the
parties to the action were required to
come into court and show cause why the
order should, or should not be made
permanent. On that date the court
declined to hear the application argued,
but postponed the matter to the 9th inst,
Yesterday the court declined to hear the
case, but deferred it to more convenient
time. So far as it is possible to learn,
no reasons are assigned for the continu-
ancc Of the matter, but the revival of
talk about the contamination of the
joint lease may have something to do
with it.

off many useless expenditures in the
public service, and also cut off some of
the kingly perquisites. However, the

quite comfortably, as his salary, with
his remaining perquisites, aggregates

convicted of embezzling $3.50 of the
State of California money while Clerk of
the Supreme Court, was before Judge
Sullivan December 30th for sentence.
His attorneys moved for a new trial on
the grounds that the evidence was not
sufficient to warrant a verdict of guiltv
and because of errors of the Court in in
structions to the jury. Judge Sullivan
denied the motion, whereupon Attorney
w. L. Baggett moved for arrest of iudg-
ment on the ground that the offense of
which the defendant was extradited
from Honolulu; that the Indictment un-
der which conviction was had was found
since the defendant was brought back
from Honolulu, and that he was returned
to San Francisco under previous in
dictnent. Judge Sullivan took the mat
ter under advisement and continued the
case until January 9th.
