TREATMENT OF MANURE.
Thorough Saturating with Water VII
Keep 1t from Burning.

Thorough saturating with Water VIII
Keep 1t from Burning.
The ground where it is intended to
pile the manure should be nearly
level (for although it takes a deal OF
water to keep horse manure from
burning, it should not be placed in q
hole or depression where water can
collect); make the piles about nine feet
or more wide and as long as the manure
will go or the room permit Build the
pile as nearly straight upon the sides
as you can, and every layer OF one foot
or less must receive thorough sprink-
ling with water and be tramped as in
building a hot-bed. After the pile is
as high as desired and heat rises, the
tramping must be repeated for a few
days until the pile appears Fsolid.
There it is to be left undisturbed till
wanted. If good rain strikes it, so
much the better, as the manure will
absorb all that falls on top of it
if the pile is fiat. It should be ar
ranged conveniently for getting the
water there. Putting barrels on the
wagon and throwing the water over
the pile with a pail, did not prove
satisfactory to me, as the work will
often be neglected until one or more
days haulings have accumulated; then
the water will not soak through and
the lower part will fire-fang and spoil.
The better way is, if a well is not by
the manure already, to have one dug
for the purpose with a good force
pump in it. A tank or a lot of oil
barrels should be prepared for the
water and stand little higher than
the pile is going to be, and there
should be a rubber hose of sufficient
length with spraying nozzle at
tached to it. Do not think this
will entail too much expense Or
labor, for if the manure is worth haul
ing it is certainly worth preserving,
and the more carefully and thoroughly
this is done the better satisfaction will
be given. There is difference be-
tween heating and fire-fanging. Iwant
manure to heat to a considerable ex-
tent in order to destroy grass seeds
contained in it. and to hasten decom-
position. Horse manure treated as
above is the best covering and mulch
for strawberries that can find. AS to
swine. think they are entirely out of
place on a large pile of heating horse
manure; they like to lie on it, but they
generally take cold from it, and it is
the worst place for them to lie down.
Roofing it over and exposing it to
the air is of no benefit to the
manure. Where small quantities of
manure are thrown out daily or week
ly, cattle tramping and lying down on
it will preserve it in the best manner.
! compost nearly all the manure use
and do not spread or pile any on land
that l want to pillow early in spring,
until the ground is dry enough to
pillow; then having the manure at hand
and in good condition. a man can
spread half an acre and pillow it the
same day. If the manure is spread in
winter, it may be better for the land.
but it keeps the latter wet or heavy
too long in spring and renders it unfit
for early gardening. At least this is
the case with my soil unless the manure
has been perfectly rotten. Cor. Ru raj

SECRETARY PROCTOR,
A Specimen Of the Patriots Evolved by the
Republican Party.


Republican Party.
The New York World sent member
of its staff to Rutland, VT, to find out
what manner of man Redfeld Proc
tor, the new Secretary of War, is. He
finds that Proctor is the wealthiest
man in Vermont; that he has made all
his money in fourteen years; that he
was originally lawyer, which led to
his appointment in 1875 as receiver
of Meyers l. Dorr, who then ran
the Sunderland Falls quarries. and,
having had disagreement. had their
affairs wound up in the courts; that
when the receivership ended Proctor
was found to be the owner of the quar-
ries; that the protective tariff gave
him a chance to operate them with
immense profits. which he improved
to the utmost; that by paying the low
est possible wages, running ''pluck me-"
stores where two prices were charged
for every thing, and compelling
his employees to live in his tenements
at fancy rentals, he kept them all SO
poor that they were never able to
leave his service, lest starvation over
take them before they could get out OF
town; that he organized big marble
trust, which, however, expired by linn
itation last year; and that, as matters
stand, he comes pretty nearly owning
Vermont, and is in fair way to get
the whole State before he dies.
This enterprising statesman went to
the Chicago convention last June at
the head of the Vermont delegation
and on every ballot, from the first to
the last, when his State was called he
responded: Vermont casts her eight
votes for. Benjamin Harrison, of In
diana" During the campaign he
gave the National Republican Commit
tee a great big check. And now he is
Secretary of War.
1t is thus that statesmen" are
evolved in this Republic in these latter
ys.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

TREATMENT. OF HOGS.
How to Build n Good and Comfortable
House for POrkers.

How to Build Good and Comfortable
House for Porkers.
1t is 81 feet inches long, 164 feet
wide; is built so the front end forms
the yard fence running north from the
house, the east side of house forming
west side of lane fence; lane running
square up to yard fence. The house
is weather-boarded with dropped
Misunderstanding and painted. has
nice windows and a good panel door in
front. Next to yard in front or south
end is room cut off, IA feet 8
inches by 164 feet, to cook feed in and
to keep feed in. The next pen north,
24x10a feet, is used to feed in. Flat
bottomed troughs are placed around
the walls for slop feed. This room
is foored with two-inch oak plank
ing. In center on the floor we
feed the corn, and let the hogs
in at the east side from the
lane. Just north of the house is a
gate across the lane to keep the hogs
from the house, if you choose. Over
this part of the house joists running
long ways of the house II feet long,
bottom edge inches above head, with
cleats nailed on lower edge for gambril
stick to lay on, north end of joists to
lay on partition, south end hung with
large bolt going through between
lower joists 2x10 inches, and up be-
tween two running the other way.
When we butcher, the floor may be
washed up clean and nice. Our gam
bril- sticks are cut so as to fit between
to hold ham string. Then we have no
pole in the way in cutting; have a box
to stand on so as to be high enough;
have big turner hay pulley and rope
to pull up hogs with one hand. The
north pen same way about feeding; it
is 16x164, trough around to feed slop
from.
We have cooked about $50 bushels
of potatoes, meal and bran with them,
then lots of pumpkins, cabbage leaves,
potato-peelings, and, in fact, every
thing we could get hold of, and fat
tened 45 hogs. l have 1873 head of
stock hogs. The furnace walls run
from flue, which is far enough from
east walt to leave good passage-way
to west wall. / have left about feet
of hole on the west end of furnace to
get down in to make fire, sides being
filed up to top of furnace with gravel,
forming cook-room floor. In bad
weather we can cook as well as in good
weather; have two gas-lamps; can cook
or feed as well at night as day. ANY
one, l think, who will build such a
house and use it right will be well paid
and well satisfied.
Hope some one will try this plan, as
no one can afford to cook in cold and
rain Or hot sun, nor to carry meal from
barn or some other place, water from
somewhere else, and Stop across the
road Or barn lot, or edge of pasture.
By this plan 1000, 900 could be saved
in a year in Indiana. Indiana Farmer.

be true; in fact, Grace never thought to

at length. cit seems like a dream to me,
and can not be too thankful to have you

"To you I am alive and well, to others I

low, guarded tone, as though she feared
the walls might have suddenly acquired the
gift Of hearing.

Then Lura sprang up, embraced and
kissed her cousin, and turned toward the
door.

Quickly turning the key Lura opened the
door and glided from the room. Swiftly
she passed down the stairs and thence out
into the night.
Barely had she gained the gate on the
road when she felt a touch on her shoulder.
The moon just then disclosed its face.

A pair of digits, cruel as death, closed
about the throat of Lura, and she felt her
self sinking, fainting, dying, to the ground.

A Change of Jailers.

Mr.. W. H. Russell and his brother
George who, as jailer and turnkey, have
been in charge of the County Jail for
about two years, left that establishment
yesterday and turned over the keys to
Mr.. P. M. Darcy, who succeeds to the
place. The entire day was spent in
Strengthening out the books and making
the arrangements necessary to the change
of authority. The prisoners were in
ventoried like go much inanimate stock,
and their number made to tally exactly
with that called for by the COM
mitments on hand. The new iailer
proposes to make q few
changes, chiefly in the form OF additions
to the present system. A somewhat full
Ter set of books which the increased
business of the institution would seem to
demand, will probably be instituted.
Mr.. Russell will take a place with the
police force OF the city III the capacity
of detective, where he will have an
opportunity to continue the excellent
record he has already made in this
county. As Jailer, Mr.. Russell sue
ceeded in giving unusual satisfaction to
all with whom he came in contact. His
just and humane treatment of the pris-
oners, his strict adherence to business
and his thoughtful attention to the news
paper men entitle him to place among
model jailerS.

The New County Treasurer Takes
Charge of the Money.
The funds which constitute the cash
assets of the county of Los Angeles were
transferred yesterday afternoon from the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, where
they have been jealously guarded for sew
eral years, by Mr.. I. w. Hellman and
his retainers, to the various institutions
which are to have charge of it during the
administration of Col. Jabez Banbury. At
half-past O'Clock the count commenced,
and specie to the amount of 1861 ,060.S0
was done up in rolls, placed in heavy
canvas bags and transferred to one OF
wagons of the Pacific Truck Company.
The weight of a million of specie lacks
only about 100 pounds of two tons, SO
that no small amount of labor was neces-
|sary to the transaction. Sheriff Aguirre,
assisted by four of his newly appointed
deputies, viz: w. Hammel, J. G. Wray,
D. Kearney and ]. A. Aguirre, performed
this unique duty.
The wagon drove to the First National
Bank and unloaded about quarter OF
it's precious freight, which Hon. r..
F. Spence and his minions well
coined with beaming smiles. 1t
then proceeded to Spring and First
and the Los Angeles National and the
Southern California National we're made
richer by about two hundred thousand
apiece. The remainder was then con-
veyed to the California Bank, at the cor
ner of Fort and Second, whence por.
ton will be transferred later in the week
to Pasadena. The job was finished al
5 O'Clock.

Estimates Regarding the Opening
of the Wolfskiil Depot.
The passing Of the franchise granting
the Pine-street right-of-way to the South
ern Pacific caused good deal of jubila-
ton among the officials of that com pany
yesterday afternoon. The news was at
once flashed to the headquarters at San
Francisco and congratulatory responses
received. The representatives of
the company here state that as
soon as the ordinance is signed
by Mayor Bryson active steps
will be taken toward getting into
the new depot. The company's engi-
neers estimate that all of the tracklaying
can be done in about ten days, and then
the work of transferring the Offices will
begin. This will be quite an important
undertaking, and will consume consider
able time, 80 it is safe to say that it will
be at least six weeks before the engine
of the first regular passenger train
scieeches its advent within the new
building.

The New Justices.

Justice King went out of Office yester-
day but w. A. Lockwood, who succeeds
him, will not open bis court until the 18th.
Justice Austin celebrated a few hard
earned hours of vacation yesterday
afternoon and gave Mr.. Lockwood a
chance to try his hand in his place.
Justice Taney sat until noon in the new
court room in the Downey Block, which
is to be the future headquarters of the
Township Court, Theodore Savage, JUS
tice. This is handsomely fitted up
room in the southwest corner of the
Downey Block. 1t is commodious and
convenient and will probably be much
more satisfactory than the room formerly
occupied by the Township Court. Justice
Taney's old room in the Temple Block is
undergoing repairs for the use of Justice

hat they had been drinking too much.
After they had disported themselves for
while they demanded some liquor and
sent down some money to pay for it. As
this is commodity the doctor does not
keep he refused to supply it and sent the
money back. The women by this time
in reckless frame of mind declared that
the attendant had embezzled the money
and they wanted the doctor to pay It
over himself. They became more and
more boisterous and at last to
get rid of them the proprietor
was compelled to pay the amount q sec

his visitors, but they refused to give it,
and the driver was equally obdurate.
