ST. PATR|CK'S DAY

Undoubtedly will be celebrated in an appro-
pirate manner in our city on next Saturday
and the Sons of Hibernia once more rejoice
in doing honor to the Irish Saint whose won
ders and charms have done much for Ireland.
We have, paratively speaking, accom-
plished great good and done wonders for the
people of this vicinity in the few years of our
business career in the way Of lowering prices
on every article of Clothing, Furnishings and
Hats and Caps But this is only beginning
of what we expect to do. We have always
outstripped and outdistanced every competi-
tor and have completed reyolutionized the
prices on these goods. The same old story
that never gets monotonous is that our low
prices, fair, square and honorable manner of
doing business is the sequel to our great and
marvellous success AS our sales increase
our prices decrease IF there is any doubt
whatever in the minds of any people as to
who really names the lowest prices, we will
simply say, "Price the goods of competing
firms then look at ours" you will then see
how well we are serving the patrons of

Two Forfeiture Bills.

WAsHINGToN,s March 15.-Although
the house committee on public lands di-
rected the preparation of "a general bill
FORGETTING railroad land grants, the
whole subject was opened up afresh to-
day bv the action of a subcommittee,
which, instead of bringing in general
bill, reported bills for the complete for
fixture of the Northern and Southern
Pacific railroad land grants and partial
forfeiture of the grant to the Hastings
& Dakota Railroad company. The
presentation of these reports OccasiOned
discussion, from which it appeared that
there was a misunderstanding Oh the
part of the members of the purpose of
the resolution adopted at the last. meet
ing of the committee. With view to
clearing this and defining the sentiment
of the committee, Mr.. Stone, of Missouri.
offered the following resolution:
That the committee adopt the principle of
declaring a forfeiture of the entire grant
(where the roads were not completed in the
contract time).
Mr.. Herman moved as an amendment
that the Northern Pacific be excepted
from the operation of the rule, and ar
gued that the committee should first re-
port bills FORGETTING granted lands OPP
posite unconstructed parts of the rail-
roads. Thus the subject was carried
back to the position which it occupied
before the preceding meeting, and an
attempt was MADE to vote on it. Sew
eral members pleaded that they wanted
TO look into the matter, so the motion
went over till the next meeting.

ARTEssAs WELLS


The Marysyille Appeal has the
following:
The people CT Biggs. Suffer City,
WI.eatland and Sheridan are dis
cussing projects for the boring Of
artesian wells. At Sheridan COM
mittee has been appointed to gather
information about such wells, and
has already reached the conclusion
that artesian water increases the
value OF land to very great extent.
Belief in the value of irrigation is
steadily growing in this section.
The Wheatland Four Corners ex-
presses the opinion that the sinking
of one experimental artesian well
"would add ten dollars per acre IN
value to every acre within raoius
of ten miles" Our contemporary
proceeds 70 make these pertinent
remarks:
Up in Butte county lands are
selling from eighty to one hundred
and fifty dollars per acre that, to ali
outward appearances, cannot COM
pare with our poorest grade OF red
lands. The reason is because a few
enterprisins capitalists have found
ed systems OF irrigation and have
by actual tests shown what Can be
raised on such irrigated lands.
Whitney & Co., who bought the
Lone Tree tract from j. Al. O..
Jasper, are proposing to put 1t on
the market as citrus fruit land.
Their first step will be to bring
water upon the land. We venture
to say that inside Of one year the
land they bought for sixteen dollars
per acre will be sold for from fifty
to one hundred dollars per acre.
Our Wheatland farmers would scorn
to own such land. The red lands
are infinitely better, yet they Will
not bring 80 much in cold cash.
And it is simply because their re-
sources are undeveloped. After it
is once known that artesian waite
can be got in this section four such
wells can be sunk to a depth Of
500 to 1000 feet for about 81 ,OOO
each or less, according to the
amount of casing necessary. One
sach we'll on every red land ranch
Of 800 acres would add IS 900 to its
salable value.
There can be no disputing the po'
sition of the Four Corners on THU
matter of artesian wells. Wher
ever such wells are successfully
sunk they will quickly demonstrate
their value. But attention shcult
be paid to the importance OF secur
ing some more general system OF In
rigation, by means Of canals.

Electric Street RAILWAYS.

One of the most successful examples of
an electric street railway is that at Scran-
ton, Pa, designed by Charles j. Van
Depoele, of Chicago, which has been in
daily operation since December, 1886
1t is four and one half miles in length, of
standard gauge, laid with steel rails, and
its passenger equipment consists of seven
handsomely finished Pullman cars, each
propelled by Is horsepower electric
motor, which stands on the glass-enclosed
ward axle by the familiar mechanical de
vice of sprocket- wheels and steel chains.
The motor stands about two feet high
and occupies space perhaps eighteen
inches square. The car can be run at a
| speed of fifteen miles per hour, if re-
| CURED, and In its regular work ascends
grades of nearly $50 feet per mile with
great facility. The machinery is nearly
noiseless and quite unobjectionable in
every respect. 1t is stated that the cost
of running at Scranton, using for fuel
the waste coaldust or "culm' from the
anthracite mines, which can be had in
almost inexhaustlble quantity at the
nominal price of 10 cents per ton. is
about one dollar per car per day, or a
tribe over one cent per car mile. The
economy over animal power, the cost of
which in New \ ork and Boston is reck.
oned at something over ten cents per car
mile, IS very apparent.
Similar electric railways are in opera
ton at Appleton, Wis, and st. Catha-
rine, Ontario, which are driven by water
power at an almost nominal cost. In
many instances natural power may be
thus used with the utmost advantage. as
1t Is by no means necessary that the
power should be in the vicinity of the
line OF the railway. -Scri6ner.

WISE WORDS.
Beware of pets that devour US.

Beware of pets that devour US.
Never resent publicly lack of court
esy.
Never rejoice but when thou hast done
well.
Never be IN a hurry, but always be in
haste.
Never be contented with bubble that
will burst.
Never take the harsher way when love
| will do the deed.
! No man ever yet failed till he lost con
| fdence in himself.
| Do not squander time, for that is the
| stuff life is made of.
| The world is like wheel necessarily
| revolving on which humane things alter
nately rise and fall.
Silence never shows itself to so great
an advantage as when it is the reply to
calumny and defamation.
Speaking too much is a sign of vanity
for he that is lavish in words is apt to
be niggard in deeds.
All our actions take their hues from
the complexion of the heart, as land
scapes their variety from light.
The art of exalting lowliness and Civ
ing greatness to little things is one of
the noblest functions of genius.
As riches and favor forsake man, we
discover him to be fool; but nobody
could find it out in his prosperity.
Every solitary kind action that is done
the world over is working briskly in its
own sphere to restore the balance be-
tween right and wrong.
The world is unjust in its judgments,
SO it is in its requitals. Speedily efTacea
the memory of the greatest services; and
when we can repeat them no more, we
are neglected and thrown aside.
1t is in knowledge as in swimming
he who founders and splashes on the
surface makes more noise and attracts
more attention than the pearl diver who
quietly dives in quest of treasures to the
bottom.
If thou art rich, then show the great
ness of thy fortune, or, what is better,
the greatness of thy conversation; con-
descend to men of low estate, support
the distressed, and patronize the neg
lected; be great.

Enemies of the Peach Tree.

The worst enemies of the peach are the
| yellows and the Peach Borer (Egeria
exitiosa). The only effectual radiance
of the former is to destroy the tree, root
and branch, and burn it as soon as the
! enemy makes its appearance in the orch
ard. Various remedies have been pro-
posed, but there seems to be no substitute
for eradication. The borer begins its
depredations early in the summer and
continues them during the season, and if
the tree attacked is not disturbed until
October the little white worms Matched
from the eggs will be found of all sizes
from the sixteenth of an inch to half
inch or more. 1t continues in this state
until the early days of summer, when 1t
comes out in the winged state. Under
this last form the insect is slender,
dark blue, four winged moth, having
slight resemblance to wasp or ichneu
mon fly. They may be seen in almost
any garden where peaches are grown. The
tree, little below the surface of the soil.
If not taken in hand, and persistently
hunted to death, they will, in few
years, destroy the best peach orchard. 1t
is good deal of trouble to destroy them
by the most effectual remedy-digging
away the soil from the collar of the tree,
and, on Bonded knees, with sharp pointed
knife and wire, scraping away the saw
dust and gum from the wounded bark,
and impaling the enemy. This should
be done several times in the course of
the season, especially in June and Octo-
Der. When this is done thoroughly, the
wounds inflicted by the worms are soon
healed by the growth of the tree, and its
life is prolonged. If neglected the tree
is girdled and it soon dies. 1t is a
great safeguard against the attacks of
the moths to fasten a strip of sheathing
paper or other covering around the
cleansed trunk, extending two inches
below the surface of the ground to q

FARM AND GARDEN.


Upon poor ridge planted with poIa
toes, writes Waldo Brown in the Phila
delphia Press, applied ahandful of brar
to each hill in alternate rows, dropping il
directly on the seed. When the rows
without bran were eight inches high the
others were foot high, and the differ
ence in growth was noticeable all sum.
mer. l weighed each row as dug, and
found fifty per cent, more potatoes in the
rows to which bran had been applied,
and much larger per cent. of market
able tubers, prepared the bran by mix
ing it with an equal bulk of rich loan,
then moistened it, allowed it to heat,
turned, mixed thoroughly and spread it
out until the heat snbsided, when it was
well decomposed. A friend of mine APP
piled dry bran in the same way, and the
seed was destroyed wherever it came in
contact with the bran.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Patents on all the best hives have ex-
PRED. Any one claiming a royalty on a
hive which you have been using for
years may be set down as fraud.
A halter that controls a cows nose is
much better for leading her than rope
around her horns. Every calf that is
to be raised ought to be taught to lead.
Every farmer should bear in mind the
fact that superiority of crops depends in
a great degree on the good quality OF
seeds, and he should therefore try to get
the very best, even if cost be consider
ably greater.
Cow and horse manure is worth 1851
per ton by analysis. This includes
liquid. Worth saving, says Our Com.
!ry Home.
d. Fl. Thing says he has visited silos
in Maine, Vermont, Maryland and New
Jersey, and has never met the first man
but was pleased with them. He believes
the stock could be largely increased and
consequently the farm would improve.
A farmer at South Charlotte, Me.
thinks superphosphate is best for beans
but for oats he has best success with fish
pomace, half a ton per acre. The
pomace sells at the factories for s. to
$12 per ton, and soma farmers think it
better to buy than superphosphate.
Professor Whitcher says that ton of
ordinary manure contains only about
twenty per cent. of fertilizing material,
the remaining eighty per cent. being
water. If that is correct, dry manure
would be all fertilizing material, which
would place it ahead of superphosphate.
Chloride of lime is an infallible pre-
ventive for rats, as they flee from its
odoras from pestilence. 1t should be
thrown down their holes and spread
about wherever they would be likely to

This is a disease to which chickens
about six or eight weeks old are very
subject, and it is chiefly due to damp
ness, as it is found mostly in birds reared
on clay soil. By giving very dry coops
and plenty of fine, dry soil or ashes in
the houses and sheds, much can be done
to prevent the disease. Birds affected
by this trouble first begin to show cramp
in the feet, and the toes curl up so that
they cannot spread them out. Then the
whole leg is affected and they walk upon
their ankles. Apparently they are other
wise in good health and eat as heartily
as when entirely right. The first sign is
little lameness in walking and as soon
as this Is noticed they should be removed
to a dry boarded floor covered with
straw, and kept there until better. As a
curative, foment the legs well with hot
water, and if the birds are large enough,
put strips of flannel as bandages around
the legs and feet. If this does not
speedily effect a cure, rub the legs with
turpentine and put near warm fire at
night. The food will need to be good
and stimulating. The birds should be
dealt with before they are seriously af-
fected, hence the necessity for keeping a
constant watch upon all the stock.-C uL-
