An English writer, in explaining the illustration, says:
 For brevity's sake we will take the left hand side of bacon, this being divided into five parts, and 1t will be observed that the most valuable parts are the strealzy and the rib quarters, numbered a-d 2, and that the middle quarter and l.ym quarters, Nos. and 4, are of less due. while No. F, the shoulder or fore end, is worth only six pence per pound, e only little more than half the value of the second part of the pig, and only a little more than two-thirds of the value of the third portion, the loin and ham, or, &s the latter is called in the trade, the gammon. If to this be added the fact that the heads of the pigs are valued at from one pence to two pence per pound one can understand why the bacon curer asks for pigs with heads weighing as lit tie as possible, also light in the shoulders, long and deep in the ribs, wide in the loin and thick ill the flank, with hams square and deep, and not strong ill the bone, but possessing a good coat of hair. Given such pig properly fattened, our bacon curers can produce at profit sides of which bacon will defy competition with the whole world.

LATER INVENTIONS.

About this time iron screws came into use and took the place of the wooden ones, and soon ratchets were attached to them. By this method a cheese put on the press in the morning would be ready td throw of the next morning, providing i've or six hours were spent by two men pulling on the screws.
 During the last war power presses be- gan to be invented, first screw, then knuckle jointed, similar to Frankhn's printing press. They required great care to prevent the cheese from sliding.
 With those presses came the cloths and frames. The cloths are called cider cloths. They are three threaded and twisted very hard, with the desired space between each thread. Frames of lattice work were used between each cloth holding the pomace, and they were about four inches apart. After the pressure was taken off the layer of pomace was about one inch in thickness. | In 1886 four screw press was invented with three speeds up and the same down that would drain a cheese in thirty min utes. The cylinders are intended to make 2,300 revolutions per minute. At that speed 1t will 'scrape" 100 bushels in thirty l minutes.
 The improved mills of the present time are too costly for the average farmer to own. Only those near dense population and who are able to buy apples of their neighbors can afford to maintain plant to work two months in the year and be idle ten months.-Boston Globe.

Mr.. A. GLAssELL gives his views upon
the sewer question in another part y!
to-day's HERALD. We emphatically
agree with him in his protest against the
"barbarism" that would waste the sew
age of this city when there are thousands
of acres on the line of the projected con-
duit that could be benefited and enriched
by it. 1t is not necessary, at this stage Of
the worlds progress, to say that when the
waste OF great city is not judiciously
applied to replace the exhaustion Of cul-
tivation and to create fecundity in barren
soils, those who are responsible for such
an act Of folly render themselves liable
to the severest criticism. Whilst it is
proper to make provision for the sea out
fall, the great object of the disposition Of
the sewage ought to be to convey it
through lands that will need it hereafter,
if they do not now. The sewage of all
the great cities of Europe is utilized as a
soil enricher. There are thousands OF
acres of sandy land lying under the pos.
sible lines of our sewer which could be
made fertile and profitable with the city 3
sewage. Let us not forget that the work
we are now projecting is not for day,
but for all time; and mistake now will
perhaps be irreparable hereafter.

A LETTER from the Secretary of the
Treasury, in reference to the Federal
building in this city, is published in
another column. Mr.. H. W. Patton,
Land Register in this city, wrote to the
Secretary of the Interior letter OF in
quiry as to whether there would be room
in the new building for the Land Office.
The inquiry was submitted to the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and elected the re-
Spouse from him that the dimensions Of
the building would not be sufficient to
accommodate all the public offices, and
that the Land Office would, Therefore, be
left out. 1t is really shameful tina. the
Government, in giving Los Angeles a
public building, should erect one on SO
parsimonious a scale as to exclude any
Of the Federal offices. There seems to
have been made bad mess of this
thing all around. Tie size of the lot, in
the first place, is altogether too small for
such a building as the Government
ought to erect. But that is not the
worst. After having made this mistake,
it was an inexcusable blunder not
to make up in the height of the struc-
ture for the diminutiveness of the lot. If
another story were added to it that would
perhaps enable all the United States
officers to squeeze into the building after
a fashion. 1t is perhaps too late to
remedy the evil now. If the manage
ment of this thing we're private instead
of public matter, a complete remedy
might yet be possible. But red tape and
official procrastinstion cannot carry out
an intricate scheme that would require
secrecy, energy and prompt action at the
right time. The best suggestion we
can make under the circumstances is for
the Government to complete the build
ing on its present plans. Then let our
representative in Congress secure an ap-
preparation for separate building in
which the Postoffice could be estab-
Iished. An appropriation for purchasing
an eligible site and erecting suitable
building for the Postoffice ought to be
secured at the next session of Congress.
A city of the size and importance OF Los
Angeles is entitled to an appropriation
of half million dollars for such q
purpose,

adjoining the city to the south and west
are nearly altogether cultivated by Chi

are rented to the Mongolians, who raise

that white men can net take this profit

The Pennsylyania Horror.

The destruction of human life in the
sudden inundation along the banks of
the Conemaugh river is the most appal-
ling calamity we have ever been called
upon to record. 1t caps the climax of all
previous horrors. Not less than three
thousand souls, according to the latest
estimates, were suddenly ushered into
eternity in this horrible catastrophe. AS
if the agonies of death by drowning in
the roaring torrent or being crushed in
the crash of debris were not appalling
enough, the very climax of horror was
reached by the roasting to death of many
scores of people who had been swept
upon the wrecks OF houses which piled
upon each other against bridge and
suddenly became enveloped in flames.
What terrible scenes were presented
along that fateful river, of mothers
clasping their babes and riding to inevi-
table death on the foaming torrent-of
strong men clinging in helpless despair
to roof or plank and shooting down the
dreadful stream-of women and chill
dren-of old and young-all launched
upon that fearful ride to death !;
whilst thousands of awe stricken
people lined the banks, and, impo-
tent to save, beheld the agoniz-
ing procession shoot past! Oh, the pity
of it, the woful pity of it, that strong
arms and stout hearts should be COM
PEELED to see such sights, and yet be
denied the power to succor or to save !!
1t is in beholding scenes like these that
man can ealize his own littleness-his
own impotence against the destructive
forces OF the unclaimed elements.
We have yet, at this writing, to learn
whether this great work of death and
desolation was the result of mans
criminal negligence in placing an in
secure dam between the psnt-up waters
of the mountains and the lives of dense
population living on the banks Of the
river below, or was due to a cloudburst
or q perturbation of nature, against
which human foresight and precaution
could not have prevailed. If the latter,
we can only bow in submission to a
power we cannot arraign; but if the
former, then a fearful and INCAPABLE
responsibility rests somewhere.
The sympsthies and the sorrows Of
tender hearts everywhere will go out in
unbounded measure to the surviving
friends of the victims of this fearful and
unprecedented calamity.
