FRESNO, Nov. 3o.-Bn Kan, u Chinese
woman, was murdered 10y Chec Yang i'm
Chinese brothcl Thursday morning. The
cries ot n woman i'm Chinatown attracted
attention and some one rushed over To the
business portion, screaming for the otii-
Ger. Finding IA special policeman tn. two
hurried back to the scene of the butchery.
All WAS quiet, and when Baker. the ofii-
Ger, demanded admission into the build
ing il was refused. Baker broke in the
door with an axe, when n Chinaman
made a rush ut him with "a 10-incl, blated
dirk knife, but Baker clubbed him with
his revolver, taking the knife from him.
On the floor in the corner of the room,
covered with blankets, lay the body Of n
woman i'm n mass of blood. Examination
revealed the fact that she was literally
hacked to- pieces. no less than 2! wounds
being on her body. many of which were
fatal. Her head was nearly severed from
her body; the arms and legs were cut
across and slit down. and there were
stabs i'm the breast and abdomen. The
man had evidently taken "a ticntiish sle-

nected the prisoners with il down to the
driving away OF I'r. Cronin tn the Carlson

oners bore i'm the tragedy there enacted
and the subsequent disposition OF the
body. Coming down to the contention OF
the defense that the blood i'm the cottage
was not human, the states attorney said
the evidence all tended To show that il was
human blood. Why was the floor painted
if IL was not? He would not take up the
time of the jury to argue that IL was any
thing else than the blood OF DR..
Cronin. In closing. the states at
torncy said: "when you come to consider
your verdict. you think of that man

think of him there, may there reverbrate

heavily laden vessel struck ON the solid
rock with cannon ball force. Half the
crew were swept tn the edge OF the vessel
but saved their lives by clutching at the
rail until the sea passed over. Then the
second mate was ordered To launch the
life boat. Then went aft and told the cap

THE COST OF PRODUCTION.

Quality is soughtin all goods sold, and
as quality varies, all articles are graded
and the price fixed in accordance with
the stock in market of the grade sought.
A market may be overstocked with an
brisk demand may exist for the same
article, but of different grade. This
rule applies to the products of the farm
as well as to manufactured articles,
but it receives less consideration by
farmers than by other classes. The
farmer devotes his energies to produce
as much in quantity as he can secure
from the soil, and in that manner assists
in reducing prices and injuring the
sales of his goods. There should be no
objection to quantity, as the greater the
quantity the larger the receipts, but the
quality is more important than quantity.
THE COST OF PRODUCTION.
If a choice article can be grown on the
same space required for an inferior one
the cost will be but little more. The
first item of expense is the use of the
ground, and that item must be paid
under all circumstances, as the interest
and use of the land commands market
able value. Next, the labor is expensive,
While choice article may call for
more labor to certain extent, yet
there are items in the bill of labor that
always present themselves. For in
stance, it requires as much time to
hitch the team, sharpen the tools,
travel to and from the field, keep down.
the weeds and grass, and protect
against insects for poor crop as
for better one. To proportionately
lessen this expense the crop must not
only be large, but of excellent quality,
and the better the quality the lower the
cost prOportiOnately. 1t is sometimes
extravaganza to grow an inferior crop, as
the farmer cannot afford to do so. His
land and labor are too valuable to be de-
voted to crops that do not pay because
they fail to be of the quality in demand.
THE PROFITS ON QUALITY.
OverproductiOn of inferior articles is
possible at all times, but Overproduc-
ton of choice articles has never yet
been accomplished. There are too many
grades in the market, which split up the
whole into so many separate article, any
one of which my be lacking while
the others are in excess. A slight
difference in quality is sometimes Suffi-
cient to double the profits. 1t is esti-
mated that the average cost OF growing,
picking and shipping strawberries is. 8
cents quart. If one grower receives
81 cents per quart and another cents
per quart, the one will have twice as
much profit as the other, although he re-
ceived but half;a cent more. This is due
to the fact that the first cost, of Scents
per quart, must be paid, no matter
what the prices may be. The grower
who aims to have his products in mar
ket so as to grade them to the highest
standard can realize large profit even
when others. selling inferior articles.
may suffer loss.
