HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

1t costs more to keep poor horse than
1t does to keep good one.
Change the feed for your horses often
enough to make them relish it.
Improper feeding is the cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among horses
Every time you worry your horses you
shorten their lives and DAYS of usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horses shoul-
ders to gall. So do poor, ill-ftting collars.
Affection cannot be pounded into ami
mails. Kind treatment insures affection of
an animal, while rough treatment is sure
to cause its hatred.
1t is alike dangerous to other horses and
men to spare the life of glandered horse
Chambers is highly contagious, incurable
disease, and as rule fatal in the human
subject.
The temperature of water fer horses is
not so much Of an object as the purity of
it. While it is best to have water cool, it
is more important to have it free from all
impurities.
Animals of vicious habits should never
be used for breeding purposes, as vices are
transmitted. By careful breeding in this
respect, the dispositions of the animals can
be partially controlled.
When horses are suffering from the bites
of flies or stings of other insects, sponge
the parts that cannot be protected by nets
with water in which insect powder has
been mixed-a tablespoonful to two gallons
of water.
Plenty of whitewash should be used, not
ot,lxr for ha h,.,r l..4 i
as disinfectant. Hot whitevash on the
inside of barns, stables, poultry houses and
pig quarters viii aid in preventing vermin
and insects.
Mares in foal should haze exercise and
moderate work, and under no circum-
stances should they be subjected to harsh
treatment, nor should they ever be allowed
to go where they would be in danger of
being frightened.
OF two colts similar in disposition and
sense, one may develop into steady and
valuable horse, while the other may be
everything that is vicious, treacherous and
| unsafe-all because of n difference in the
men handling them.
The horse which can plow an acre while
another horse is plowing half an acre, or
IAa' eai carry Il load OF passengers ten
miles while another is going Eve indie
pendent OF all considerations of a,nasement,
taste. or what is called fancy, is absolutely
werth twice as muck to the owner RS the
other
What the colt requires is plenty of ex-
eresse. clean place to sleep, shelter from
bitter storms, plenty OF good grass of diff.
ferez< varieties, good, clean hay without
dust, and geed, sound cats. Colts raised
in this way VIII not look so well, nor win

money, but they will last

FRENCH XALNUTS.
Their Growth and Production in Califor-
nia-Our Northern Section.


nv. B. West in Fruit Grower1
The crop of walnuts produced in this
State is estimated by g. w. Meade at
100000 pounds, valued at S150,OO0, all of
which is produced in the southern coun-
ties the northern part does not produce
enough to be worthy of estimation The
reason for this is that the seeding walnut,
so hardy and productive south is not so in
the north. 1t makes Il vigorous growth
during the simmer and often, when we
have series of mild winters, gets to be a
fine, large tree. But as soon as we have
winter more severe than usual il is cut
back, and almost ruined, and if by chance
it survives it proves unfertile This is the
history of this walnut in nearly all of
Northern California, except some shell
tered valleys near the coast where there is
but little frost.
We viii have to look for other kinds
more hardy and productive, and we find
them in the French varieties. My expert
ence with these varieties dates back many
years,-m first Importation having been
made in 1874, so that in my opinion their
superiority is fully established.
We have in them perfect hardness,
through all the cold winters since 1874
they have not lost any wood, while the
seeding Los Angeles trees have been cut
back severely.
They are fertile, always producing some
crop; the nuts are soft-shelled, sweet and
delicate, having none of that bitter skin
often so pronounced in the Los Angeles
nut, all showing higher quality.
These varieties have been so often de-
scribed by Mr.. Gillet and others that |
will only mention their chief character
istics.
Preparturien-Very productive, bearing
when quite young, valuable to plant near
old, unproductive Los Angeles trees to
fertilize them.
A. Bijou-The largest of all walnuts,
also quite productive, although it does not
bear that reputation in France. Kernel
sweet but not so full as other varieties.
The Serotina is late in pushing its buds
in the spring, therefore valuable in frosty
localities; the nut is not first quality.
Chaberte and Mayette are not early
bearers; they have borne their first fruit
at seven years, but they are valuable
kinds, growing to be much larger trees
than the Preparturiens. The nuts are of
first quality. They are largely grown in
France for export.
There is no reason why we in the north
ern part of the State, should not produce
our share of this crop. There is an abun-
dance of land in the Coast counties, and in
the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, suit
able for its growth. 1t may take more
time to give an income than it would from
short-lived trees, but when they are grown
they are easily managed and profitable.

In the beginning of the prune industry
many devices were employed for their
proper conservation. The first ovens were
very primitive, and the work of preparing
the fruit for market laborious At present
there are many different kinds of ovens in
use, possessing more or less distinct feat
ures, but about the same general princi-
pies The most generally used are the
Bournel and the Marletean ovens. The
only ovens in use are of French patent and

EXPLOITATION.

When ready for expectation the fruit is
pressed fiat between two cylinders covered
with rubber, and then packed into cases
by special machine called packer.
Many dealers still perform this operation
in the primitive manner of foot pressure,
which is simple, speedy and equally as
satisfactory. Bordeaux is the principal
center of this particular commerce, which
is yearly increasing. Besides the large
amount Of prunes exported to European
countries by way OF rail, there are about
one hundred vessels annually leaving this
port loaded with this valuable and succu-
lent product. The most important ex-
portation Of this production is to the
United States. During the past eight
years $4,55S,OO0 worth of prunes, or an
annual average of S569,125 have been in
voiced through this Consulate, as will be
seen by the following.

Tried to Fseane.

Sheriff Linegar and his deputy, of Stark
county, Ohio who came here after the
escaped burglar, August Ramie, will start
east with their prisoner at noon to-day
When Ramie was moved from a cell on the
west side of the city prison to another one
yesterday, it was discovered that he had
been making extensive preparations to
escape. 1t was found that he had torn
large iron bar out of his bed, with which
he had commenced operations on the sheet
iron work which holds the grating to the
cell over the door, and had also been at
work on the bricks under the closet of the
cell. From an incident which occurred
las. Thursday evening it is probable that
he intended to use the iron bar in another
way On that night he set fire to his bed
and the smoke attracted the attention of
Sergeant Rowland, who was on duty alone
at the time. Ramie evidently supposed
that the officer would be thrown off his
guard by the fire, and that by knocking
him down with the iron bar when he
opened the door, he could make his escape
Rowland, however, locked the door lead
ing to that corridor, put the key in his boot
and cautiously opened the door of the cell
Just far enough TO dash bucket of water
upon the burning mattress which extiu-
guished the slight fire and Ramie lost that
chance for liberty. OF course Rowland
knew nothing about the prisoner having
the iron bar until it was discovered yester-
day, but his natural caution, no doubt,
saved him.

Important Land neolsion.

In the case of Snelser vs.. TomIinson, in
volving certain lands near Donner Lake,
an important decision was yesterday re-
oeived at the Sacramento Land Office Some
years ago, in the case of Morrow VS.. Clough,
the Commissioner ruled that land which was
nninhabitable during the winter months
by reason of the severity of the climate and
the depth of snow, lis not subject to entry
under any law requiring continuous resi-
dence." The tendency Of this decision was
practically to withdraw from the operation
of the Acts allowing agricultural entry
based upon residence, improvement and
cultivation, an extensive belt of country
approaching on both slopes, the SUBMITS
of the Sierras, and of the other mountain
ranges traversing Government lands yet
unsold.
In the decision received yesterday, the
Secretary holds that the homestead entry
of Tomlinson should remain intact, and
that the inclemepcy of the climate during
the winter makes the land uninhabitable
during that season is not valid objection
to the acquisition of the same by a settler
under the homestead or preemption laws
This decision will presumably be conclu-
sive OF many cases now pending on appeal
from the several Land Offices within the
limits of the Sierras, and many of which
are before the Sacramento Land Office II

homes in the high portions of the eastern
counties of California.

A DAM OUTRAGE.
The Run of Fish Cut or from the Upper
Sacramento

Sacramento.
A gentleman of this city who returned
yesterday from a trip over the California
and Oregon Railroad, reports an outrage
which should have the immediate atten-
ton of the Fish Commissioners. He says
that at Fraser's sawmill, about three miles
this side Of Dunsmuir, dam has been
thrown across the river which makes it
absolutely impossible for a salmon or other
fish TO get up the stream beyond that point.
Until lately the sawdIst from the mill was
being dumped into the river, but that has
now been stopped. The mill is on the east
side Of the river and a bridge has been con-
structed over which the sawdust is now
carried to the west side and dumped upon
the rocks in such a position that when high
water comes it will be carried down stream.
Slabs line the banks and are lodged on the
rifles for three or four miles below the
mill, in one place shutting off the run of
fish about AS effectively as the dam itself.
Some distance above the Fraser dam is
one almost completed by Anderson &
Bailey. and another has been commenced
at point still farther up, but the first one
is sufficient to prevent the fish from reach.
ing the upper spawning grounds. The
gentleman who gives this information is
entirely reliable, and the attention of the
Fish Commissioners is respectfully called
to the matter.

snowsheds Burned.

The snowsheds near Cisco caught fire
yesterday morning and some fifteen hun
dred feet were destroyed before the flames
could be extinguished. The fire was dis
COVERED about half. past IL o'clock and tank
trains were at once dispatched from the
Summit and Blue Canyon. A gang of car
penters, who were working on the sheds in
the vicinity. arrived with the water train
from Blue Canyon and made great effort
to save the depot and station buildings
from destruction. They succeeded finally
in tearing down the burning sheds adioin-
ing the station, and saved the property.
The sheds were destroyed, however up TO
within twenty-five fest of the station build
ing. About fifteen hundred feet of track
was so twisted by the heat that il had TO
be relaid, but the track was cleared and all
trains running again at o'clock in the
afternoon
