Kissed for Their Lives.

When Mr.. Cole, the circus proprie-
tor, sold his stock in New Orleans,
three dun ring-horses that he had
owned for years went with the Others
by mistake. Mr.. Cole at once bought
them back, saying that he would
never consent to have the horses be-
come the property of any one who
would make them work, and he had
decided to put them to painless
death. He proposed bleeding them
to death, but w. b. Leonard, the
liveryman, suggested that the use Of
chloroform would be better and
less painful mode. This was finally
decided upon, and a relia BILE man pro-
cured who was to have performed
the operation. They were all col
lected at the circus tent. There was
Cole, Leonard, the riders and clowns
the ringmaster, the tumblers and the
leapers, and the three pet duns. Call
ing the little mare b. name, he told
her to kiss them all good-by. The in
telligent animal, stretching forward
her head, kissed each one. This was
more than they could stand, and the
sacrifice was put off, Cole had no
place to take them to, so Mr.. Leonard
promised to find some one who would
assume charge OF them, under guar
antee never to work them, but to
keep them in good order until death
should claim them for the grave.

STRAW SHELTERS.-St as ma
terial for stock shelters has these
favorable qualities: 1t is very
poor conductor of heat, hence it
makes warm shelter. 1t costs little,
being produced in abundance on n
large majority of farms; and its EN-
ployment for this purpose does not
require special skill beyond the farm
err. But it is not as economical as
many suppose. 1t is as necessary
that the top of the shelter be water
tight as that the sides be wind tight
even more important. A straw roof
can be kept rain and snow proof only
by frequent repairings. Straw is not
a durable material and straw shelter
is not long-lived. In many cases
where straw shelters are now used, a
proper computation would show lum-
Der to be more economical; and as it
is usually cheaper to paint lumber
than not to do so, the cheapest shelter
would be neat, substantial, painted
one.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

oSTART A BALKY..HoRsE re-
cent number OF Or Dumb Animals Col.
Joseph A. Titus writes as follows: Il
have had to do with many baiky
horses, and have never known the
following simple expedient to fall
provided it was not case where some
other person had been tampering
with the will OF the horse before l
had taken him in hand. 1t is another
method Of diverting the horses at
tention.
whenever a horse driven by my
self has baked have got out OF my
carriage and gone to his fore-foot,
lifted it from the ground and struck
the shoe a few blows with stone or
with a wrench (which always carry
in my carriage). / have never failed
to start horse in that very simple
way, and have on several occasions
had balky horses which would ex-
haust the patience of all former own
ers.
Il have undertaken to start balky
horses, being handled by others, after
other methods of starting them had
failed. / request the driver generally
to move out of the way, that his voice
or presence may not be recognized by
the horse. then first inform the an
imal, by patting him and talking to
him, that there is a new man at the
helm, thereby partly diverting his at
tention. As soon as he begins to give
Inc his attention, take up his foot
and tap it few times, and never
failed, except in one instance, to start
the horse And that exceptional case
was one where the horse was over
loaded and knew it.
THE very worst method OF attempt
ing to start a balky horse according
to my experience and observation, is
that of pulling the head of the ami
NAL by the bit, and it is method al
most universally adopted by mex
perienced users Of the horse. The
stubbornness Of the horse is only in
creased by that method"
CLEARING LAND OF STUMPs.-
Stumps NAV be taken out of land in
the quickest way by means of dyna-
mite. A small charge will throw out
a large stump, tearing it into several
pieces, which may be cut for fuel or
used to build into fences. The meth
cd in use is as follows: \ pointed iron
bar is driven into the ground under
the stump so that the cartridge will
be in the best place for useful effect
in lifting the stump out of its bed.
The cartridge is then attached to a
fuse having Illuminating cap in the
end next the dynamite; and the fuse
is fastened by wrapping the oiled
paper o. the cartridge around it and
trying the paper with piece or string
to hold the fuse in place. The cart
ridge is pushed gently to the bottom
of the hole and sand or water poured
in for tamping. Very little tamping
is required, as dynamite explodes with
much greater force than common
blasting powder. The fuse is then
lighted in the usual manner. Dyna-
mite has eight times the force of
common black powder. This method
has been in use for at least twelve
years; and although a patent has
been taken out for the process two or
three years back, it is invalid and
worthless because of the long previous
use.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, January 16.-At the
meeting of the California Fruit Union,
held here to-day, it was generally con-
ceded that apricots did much better than
in the year preceding. Bartlett pears
sold low, being received East extremely
green. Peaches sold we'll; even me dium
sized freestones are much preferred to
large clingstones. Prunes and plum did
not sell as we'll as last season i,
Grapes sold remarkably low, owing to
their poor condition. Fall and winter
pears were low, not keeping well. Prune
shipments to Chicago netted the grower
35 per pound to New York, 2.5c; cher
ries to Minneapolis netted SC; to
New York, 9.9c; peaches to
Chicago netted 2.7c; to Boston, 2.6c.
Grapes to Boston netted cents; Nectar
ines to the same point cents, apricots
to Chicago 3S cents; to New York 36
cents. Special trains made good time,
but the freight service was unsatisfacto-
ry. A difficulty in making proper
arrangements 80 that Boston and
New York may secure a contin-
uous supply of fruit was remarked.
At the afternoon meeting one thousand
copies of the 'Secretary's report were or
dered printed.
Several Eastern gentlemen, who were
present, were called upon to give their
views concerning the Eastern fruit mar
ket. Mr.. Snow, OF Boston, said that the
Boston market required the best quality.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 16.-The
fruit growers, from all parts of the State,
assembled to-day at the annual meeting
OF the California Fruit Union. President
Peptall, of Sacramento, presided. Secre-
tary III. A. Fairbank read report relat-
ing to the work of the past year. He
called attention to the establishment of
auction sales OF fruit at Chicago, an d
said that the plan had proved great
success. Eight hundred and fifty cars
of fruit had been shipped East during
the season. The organization was now
represented in 81 counties by 1868
shares of stock, held by 499 fruit-growers.
At the evening session communications
from the Chico fruit growers relative to
freight matters, and from the grape grow
ers and winemakers relative to the iaxa-
ton of wine were read and the following
committees appointed: On freight,
Blowers, Flickinger, Anderson, Hatch
and Gregory. On taxation, John
son, Hancock, Block, Carter,
Schusler and Runyon. Discussion of al
legged mismanagement of the affairs of
the Union by Manager Buck and Mr..
Porter. the Chicago agent of the Union,
followed motion for the election of Off
GERS. but the meeting finally adjourned
till tomorrow without action.

MISPLACED Charity.

William Justice is the name of man
who has now much less confidence in
the human race than he had few days
ago. Tuesday night, man who gave
his name as Charles Johnson, ap-
preached him and asked for assistance
in getting a place to sleep that night.
Justice listened to the mans story and
finally offered to give him half OF his
bed. As there was only one pair of
blankets in his room, Justice went out
and bought new pair, that both might
be comfortable. He brought the new
blankets back and left them at the room
and went out for the evening. When he
returned Johnson and the new blankets
were gone, nor could he hear anything
of their whereabouts. Yesterday morn
ing he saw his new blankets offered for
sale at the secondhand store opposite
the Commercial street depot. He told
Officer Appel of the fact and Johnson
was hunted up and arrested and the
blankets were returned. The thief was
taken before Justice Lockwood and
pleaded guilty. He will remain at the
County Jail for thirty days.
