How To Tell n Ripe Melon.
practical Farner.l

The rind of melons. when left on the
vines to mature, generally becomes hard
and the pulp brittle; and when under
pressure you hear the inside crack or give
way, it may be regarded as a sure sign
that the melon is ripe and has matured
well on the vine. If a melon remains on
the vine until properly matured, the side
on the ground will be found to have
changed from white to pale yellow, and
upon close examination numerous small
pfmples will be noticed upon the surface,
particularly on the outer edge. Some
times the desirable pale-yellow color is
produced prematurely by turning this part
of the melon to the sun for day or two,
but the yellow thus produced is Of deeper
shade. This, in connection with the alb
sence of pimples, will readily tell the ex-
perienced eye how the color was produced.
If the skin will readily peel leaving a
hard, shelly appearance, 1t is good indi-
cation that a melon is ripe; and also If it
has dull-brown appearance.

Cows at Calving Time.


Great care should be taken not to give
any cold drink to COWS for several days al
ter calving. The animal is probably fever
ish, and will drink large quantities if al
lowed but whatever is given should be
warmed No better first mess for the COW
can be given than wheat bran in a thin
mash with water of milk warmth. The
warm water is excellent TO start the milk
flow, which fever would naturally check.
The warm mash is also laxative, and this
has tendency to reduce the fever. No
corn meal or oily meal of any kind should
be given for several days after calving.
The milk that has been in the bag several
days is probably too rich. 1t should be
drawn out as carefully as is ever done, for
to entirely clear the bag OF milk is the best
security against caked bag afterward. Do
not give roots in large quantities, espe-
cially if the weather is cold. They will
chill the stomach almost as much as apail-
full of cold water. A week after calving
these precautions about warming water
and giving roots may be dropped if the
COW seems then to be all right.

Fading Hay.
fColman's Rural World. ]


1t is the practice of some farmers to give
their horses too much hay. There has
been great improvement in this respect
within a few years, and Jtill there are
many farmers who have not Caught on"
to the better way. When a boy upon a
farm, we'll remember that it was stand
ing rule to rake down little hay into the
horses rack every time that one wentinto
the stable. The result was that the horse
would keep his grinders going nearly all
the time and became a bellied, I'M
slightly animal. Horses fed in this way
become mere machines or hay cutters; the
nutrition of the hay is not assimIlated and
q large portion OF it is wasted.
Different horses will require different
quantities, and in feeding a new horse it
becomes matter OF experiment until his
wants are ascertained. But even when
experimenting there should be some sort
of estimates as to how much horse can
utilize, and. then the quantity should be
approximated to it. A horse should be
permitted to lose flesh, but overlooking
with hay is an unkindness to the beast,
second only to overriding or overload

An U. p. Surprise.

A good deal of surprise was manifested
yesterday when the Union Pacific off.
cials here came out with the announce.
ment that on and after March 9th they
would run weekly excursions out of Los
Angeles for all Eastern points in Pull
man equipment free of charge. The sur.
prise was in the fact that official notifica.
ton was set forth some time ago that
Pullman had corraled the Union Pacifc's
tourist business and that henceforward
charges of So to the River and "a to Chi.
cago would be made for the accommoda-
tions. 1t now appears that when the parties
are sent out in excursion form the
charges will be sustained by the railroad
company recruiting the outfit, Pullman
receiving his full rates for each pessen.
ger. This new order of things will be
observed by the Burlington, Rock Island
Union Pacific and Chicago and Alton
roads, all of which will in the future send
out weekly free excursions on the same
scale as last year, with the exception
that the tourists will have Pullman'e
equipment, and therefore better accom-.
modations.
THE SANTA FE OBJECTS.
The Santa F'e people do not like this
move. and yesterday put up large
placard in the window of their Office on
Spring street, reading, excursion to-day
and tomorrow" They said in explana.
ton that the Pullman-equipped tourist
cars furnished them daily in each
direction, are in matter OF fact, excursion
coaches. 1t is pretty generally under.
stood now, that, although Phillips will
still conduct an excursion agency, he
will not divert any of the travel over the

Reply of Insurance Company.

In the DAILY HERALD of the 28th ult.
there appears over the signature of J. G.
L. Wadsworth, Insurance Commissioner
a card entitled "Notice to- the Public
which states that the ''Fidelity Mutual
Life Association OF Philadelphia, Penn
sylvania, is not authorized to transact
business in this State, and that all its
policies issued are null and void"
l have no satisfactory assurance that
the publication is what it purports to be
an official utterance of the Commits
sionsr of Insurance. The matter has
been referred to the attorneys of the AS
sociation for investigation. These state
ments are false, malicious and libelous.
The Association began business in Cali
foruia in 1884, and in no instance has it
ever violated any law of this State. The
good faith with which the Association
deals with it's patrons, and it's financial
ability to meet promptly all it's obliga-
tions, cannot be questioned. Prompt
and appropriate legal action will be taken
to redress the injury sought to be in
ficted by the publication of these false
statements. VIM. ALRIeHs,

THE GRAIN CROP.
The Area Planted to Cereals at
Newhall.

The Area Planted to Cereals at
NeWhali.
In gathering statistics of the grain
crop the HERALD reporter tried yesterday
to learn what sowings have been made
in the Newhall valley. he failed to get
data with as much accuracy as is desir-
able, but will get the figures more exactly
later on. So far as information is now
attainable there are over 5000 acres in
cereals in the valley. Much the larger
moiety of this is in the hands of the
Newhall Farming Company. On these
lands there are barley, wheat, oats and
rye. Many think that barley and wheat
are the only cereals that are raised in
this section, but oats and rye yield fine
crops here. Last year the New
hall Company threshed large
amonnt of rye, the greater part
of which was shipped to Hamburg, Ger
many. There is usually an active de-
mand for this grain for the German mar
ket, and it brings good prices. A much
larger area ought to be sown to it, and it
ought not to be shipped abroad. In the
coming time when paper is made in
large quantities in Southern California,
rye straw will be in active demand.
And in that sweet by and by, when we
shall depend on ourselves more than
now, the grain will be made into high
wines on the spot, and we will stop
paying so heavy a tribute to Kentucky
distilleries.

A Fruit Peddler.

Yesterday morning Humane Officer
Wright arrested fruit peddler by the
name OF Simon Sullivan, charging him
with assault. The officer had noticed
that Sullivan's wagon was heavily laden
with fruit, and was inclined to the opin.
ion that it was more than the horse
could pull. and had entered into dis.
cussion with the man on this point
Suilivan's story as to what occurred does
not tally with that of Officer Wright. II
is evident, however, that the peddler got
very much excited and acted in an OBJ
st-eperous fashion. Whether he actu-
ally assaulted the officer is question in
dispute. When he was brought to the
station he exclaimed vigorously against
his arrest as an outrage, and said that he
was an honest, hard-working man, all o.
which appears to be true. He WAS taken
before Justice Lockwood, who set his
trial for tomorrow and allowed him tc
go without bail.

THE WEBER ESTATE.
An Interesting Contest tn the Su

An Interesting Contest tn the Su-
perlOr Court.
An interesting contest over an estate
amounting to $4,000 will be heard to-
day before Judge Clark and jury. l.
appears that on the 18th of January,
1888, Nicolaus Weber died, leaving all
his property to Louise Masser. The will
was admitted to probate shortly after
and appraisers were appointed. At this
time there appeared to be no obstacles
in the way of the carrying out of the pro-
visions of the will. The appraisers in
vestgated the property left by the de-
ceased and found that it consisted of a
seventy-foot lot on sainsevain street,
some other pieces of property and lot
of notes and securities, the total value
being $29, ,346. On March 10 of that
year, however, other claimants to the
estate put in an appearance and filed a
complaint in contest. They were
Henry Weber and Phil Weber,
brothers of deceased, and q sister
residing in Germany. Henry Weber
said that his home was in Illinois, and
Philip alleged that he lived in Missouri.
These contestants claimed in their COM
plant that deceased was unmarried and
had no children, and no other heirs than
themselves, and as the estate was valued
at s., 900, they asked that the order ad-
mitting the will to probate be revoked.
They allege that the will was not the
last will Of deceased, nor valid will in
any sense, and that if it had been signed
by deceased he had been induced to at
tach his name to it by means OF undue
influence brought to bear on him by
Killian Messer and his wife, Louise
Meseer. They allege that for several
months prior to his death, deceased was
infirm and feeble both in mind and body
and was an easy victim in the hands
of the Messers. The complaint further
states that for some time prior to his
death, the Messers were constantly i'm
portuning him to make his will giving all
his property to Louise Messer, that he
was sick in their house and under their
control, and that in order that he might
die in peace he signed the will, leaving
the whole of his property to Louise Mes
ser, to the exclusion of his relatives. The
complaint also states that deceased was
not allowed to see any of his friends to
whom he could appeal for aid.
In answer to this complaint Louise
Messer filed denial of each and every
allegation set forth by the contestants. A
jury was drawn yesterday to try the case,
and the taking of testimony will COM
mence this morning. AS there are about
twenty-five witnesses on each side it will
probably continue over several days.

are heavy capitalists, many OF
hem Eastern men who are
engaged in these enterprises. They arr
put ing large amounts OF money into
lnese schemes of DEVELOPMENT, which
they would not do if they had not an
abiding faith in thefuture OF this section,
that faith being based on the charm Of
the climate and the fertility of the soil.
Only yesterday the BE2ALD published
the sale of the orar ge crop from 219
acres for 81 900 net to the grower. Land
that will yield such returns is worth
$1,000 an acre, and then another
81 900 on top of that; and when
the resources of this section and the
markets of the world shall have been
developed and this valley filed with
people, then the land will be worth
double both sums combined. The boom
prices, at the highest notch, were no
whit mistake, excepting that they were
a trihe premature in some instances.
