Wheat at 20 to IS cents per bushel will
make no farmer rich in this section the farms
are small the labor to prepare for and gath
or the crop, at the highest range of cost and
the yield, without commercial fertilizers, so
small that it is never risked. Our farmers
should invest in hig., grade cattle and stand
ard mares and depend upon their produce
for the profits of their farm. The value in
FIVE years. of the produce ofa trio Of register
ed IIolstens and two standard bred mares,
will, If properly managed, exceed the sum
realized from the sale of all the Whcat that is
raised on n hundred acre farm in the same
time and thereafter the produce of this stock
each year would readily double the value of
the very best crops that could be expected.
Why our farmers will persist in breeding
"dung, hill' horses and COWS, is to us an
enigma, equally difficult to solve, with that
one of their refusal to give up a large portion
of their wheat growing: neither pays and
both may be replaced with more profitable
business. There is luss sold off the land, that
is required to keep the soil rich when you
sell a hundrcd-dolar calf ora two-hundrcd
dollar colt than when you sell fifty dollars
worth of wheat grass and corn arc yet prof
table crops and the farm may be kept IN
grass by sowing one-siXth the wheat that is
now sown. Commercial fertilizers replace
the difference between the plant food sod OH
/ in wheat raising and that sold of in cattle
raising, that is, by raising the best class OF
horses and cattle, the profits would exceed
that of grain raising and the commercial fer
t1lizcr would count ms an additional profit
the condition of the soil remaining equally
good
If we are at fnul, in the above, we shall bt

A LITTLE THIN.--lt is well known that
Hon. M. G. Urner is spoken of as the forth.
coming collector and Mr.. johnson, of Bal
;morc, as a very prominent candidate for
Mr.. Frank Browns place, and, it is plain to
see that, in order to kill them off for these
places some one has suggested their names
for Comptroller cf the Treasury. A little
thin is that trick.

who was wanted by the state as witness in

Monday Of last waek, and was trusted to

his house to stay over night, and when he
arose the next morning he found that his
prisoner had jumped from the second story
window and made his escape.-Bunner.

HIS LABoRs CLOSED.
Retirement of Rev. William II. Hill as
Chaplain at San Quentin.

Retirement of Rev. William H. Hill as
Chaplain at San Quentin.
At San Quentin on Sunday the chapel
was packed with people. the occasion being
the farewell to the prisoners of the Chap
lain, Rev. William II. Hill, who retires at
the close of the present month from the
position which he will then have held ex.
actly eight years, and which he now volun-
tarily resigns on account of failing eyesight
which has become so impaired as to rem
der him, in his own estimation, incapable
of longer performing properly bis duties.
Mr.. Hill addressed the men in a few
touching words, in which he spoke feel
ingly of his relations with and his interest
in them during the eight years ne had
been with them.
At the close of the Chaplain's remarks
one of the men stepped forward and read,
on behalf of his fellow-convicts, an address,
in which their regrets at parting with him
were feelingly expressed, finishing by
handing the paper to the retiring Chap
lain, who closed the exercises with the
Apostolic benediction. The occasion was
q very Interesting one, and to those wit
Messing it one long to be remembered.
Mr.. Hill came to California in 1854, as an
ordained minister of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, having previously served in
| that capacity for nine years in the East.
| He was pastor of the Episcopal Church in
| Sacramento fourteen years, and afterward
of that of Les Angeles ten years, receiving
the appointment as Prison Chaplain during
| the Wardenship of ]. 2. Ames, in 1881, and
| having held it ever since.

thing, and would second Mr.. Alsip's mo-
ton.
Mr. Coleman still adhered to the belief
that something less exclusive than ban-
quet would be preferable. There could be
public reception, simple collation., a
concert, etc, would be an improvement On
the ordinary formal banquet.
Mr. Leonard said that all the other
things suggested could be enjoyed together
with banquet.
Mr.. Coleman moved as a substitute for
Mr. Alsip's motion that public reception
be rendered the visitors at the State Capitol,
with a collation..
Mr.. Hancock instanced the reception
rendered the members of the Horticultural
Society in this city, which he thought was
a great success. 1t was in the nature of a
banquet, but quite informal, and left an
excellent impression on the minds of the
visitors.
Mayor Gregory and Mr. Hendricks in
dorsed the views of Mr.. Hancock. The re-
ception alluded to was very sociable affair
and it would be difficult to improve on it.
Mr.. Alslp said there wasn't much differ
ence between his plan and the other. and
he would withdraw his motion for formal
banquet.
Mr.. Coleman's proposition was then
adopted.
Mr.. Abbott moved that an Executive
Committee be appointed to arrange for the
entertainment So ordered.
On motion of Mr.. Wallis, Mayor Gregory
was added to the Executive Committee.
Mr. Wallis stated that during the stay of
the visitors the State Library would be
kept open of evenings.
