Home Grown Versus Purchased seeds.

Home Grown Versus Purchased Seeds.
The Pennsylvania experiment station
in "A report on tests made OF the compara-
tive value of home grown versus pur-
chased seeds, arrives at some interesting
conclusions. The ground in which the
seeds grew was ordinary farm soil and
the home grown seeds were selected from
the choicest crops of the previous year
These We're tested last season with seeds
of the same varieties of vegetables from
prominent seed houses. Results made it
appear that: l. The station seeds We're.
as a rule, heavier than the purchased
seeds. ,. The weight was no indication
of the germinative value of the seeds
3. In the majority of cases the earlier
marketable products We're obtained from
purchased seeds. T. The greater yield,
with but few exceptions, was obtained
from purchased seeds. ). Lettuce from
purchased seed produced heads that did
not ''shoot up" to the flower as early as
the plants from the station seed. C.

larger. more tender and more uniform
than those from station seeds. z. On the
whole the results are strongly in favor
of seeds from good soil, however rich

J. A Lintner. New York state ento-

two feet from the base of the plants with
water containing Paris green at the rate
of half teaspoonful to gallon. As a
preventive of egg deposit, place in each
hill four or five corn cobs dipped in coal
tar, redipping them from time to time in
July and August. For strawberry plants
affected with insects change of soil is
recommended for the young plants, and
the immediate plowing under of the old
plants as soon as the fruit is off

For the veil, take a strip of mosquito
bar wide enough to reach from the base
of the crown on the outside of the hat
to the arm pits, and long enough to fit
loosely around the shoulders, with the
exception of about twelve inches, which
is of the finest black bobinet lace. Join
the ends. Turn in one edge and gather on
to the base of the crown. Face the other
edge with a strip of cotton cloth, fitting
tha shoulders tightly At the back of
the arm, attach strap which passes un-
der the arm and buttons on to the band
in front. If necessary, run into the band
cord to tighten, as the occasion may
require. The black bobinet is less try

almost no obstruction to the sight. If
properly made there is no falling in on

TO KEEP THE PEACE.
The Story of J. H. Perkins's Domestic
Relations.

J. II. Perkins, stockman, was
brought in from his ranch near Long
Beach, yesterday, and locked up in the
county Jail in default of bonds IN the
sum of $500 to keep the peace for SIX
months, on an order issued by Justice
G. S. Hussey, of that place. Perkins,
who is hale old man, though 20 years of
age, in an interview with HERALD re-
porter yesterday, told the following in
teresting story: He said that fifteen
years ago he had married young girl,
by whom he had eleven children, seven
of whom are still living. Some time ago
his nephew, Frank Perkins, good
looking youth, went to work on the
ranch, and things went on as usual for
while, when Perkins's niece informed
him that "his wife was altogether too
fond of Frank" This aroused the old
mans suspicious, and after watch
ing the pair closely for few days
he came to the conclusion that
all was not as it should be, and finally
Frank was sent away from the ranch
Perkins and his wife, who, after Frank
left, became very affectionate, renewed
their former happy relations, until few
weeks ago, Mrs. Perkins suggested that
as her hus band was 20 years Of age and
subject to heart disease, he ought to con-
yey his property to her, in case Of acci-
dent. They came to town, and Perkins
! decided the ranch and all his property to
her; but on their return to their home,
Mrs. Perkins changed her mood and life
became burden to her husband. She
insisted that Frank should come back to
the ranch, and for the sake of harmony
Perkins allowed him to do so. His
wife's conduct with his nephew, how
ever, again aroused his suspicious, and
watching his opportunity, he surprised
them i'll a compromising position, but
said nothing at the time. Next morn
ing, however, he informed Frank that
as he was his brothers. son he would not
kill him, but would give him a chance
to leave the place. Soon afterwards,
however, he was arrested ON complaint
of his wife, with the above result.

THE EXPERIMENT STATION.
The Citrus Fair Committee Fails to
Agree on the Matter.

The citrus fair committee met yester-
day morning in the private Office of the
secretary of the chamber of commerce.
There were present: G. M. Wells and
Eugene Germain, of Los Angeles; F.
Edward Gray, of Alhambra; j. E. Nc
Comas, of Pomona, and F. R. Miller, OF
Riverside. John Wasson, of Chino, rep
resenting Richard Gird, and Phil Stein,
of Pomona, were also present.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose OF taking action on the proposition
to give the $4,000 surplus from the citrus
fair for the establishment of an agricul-
tural experiment station at Pomona.
Most of the members of the committee
had already signifed their willingness
to have that disposition made of the
money. 1t presently came out, how
ever that the people of Riverside thought
that the experiment station ought to 90
to their locality, and that they had
sent committee to see Prof. Hilgard at
Berkeley and confer with him about the
change of location. When the matter
was ready to come to vote, McComas
and Gray were in favor of giving the
money for the station at Pomona, and
Miller and Germain opposed such action.
G. M. Wells proposed that the matter be
allowed to go over for time until the
Riverside people should have presented
their case to Prof. Hilgard. No action
was taken, and the committee ad-
journed until next Saturday.

THE A. & P. ACCIDENT.
Full Particulars of the Death of En-
gineer Bowen.


Fuller particulars concerning the acci-
dent on the Atlantic and Pacific, in
which Engineer Bowen was killed, were
received in this city yesterday from pri-
vate sources. A water train left Barstow
Monday evening on it's way to The Need
les. 1t was running down grade at a
rapid rate of speed, and five miles be-
yond Bagdad crashed through burned
bridge. Bagdad is seventy-eight miles
east of Barstow. The bridge was over a
small dry wash, and was thirty feet in
length. 1t is supposed that spark from
passing engine ignited the bridge, and
it must have been burned only short
time before the water train struck it.
The distance down was only three feet.
The fireman managed to jump out on
one side, but Bowen was caught between
the tender and cab and crushed to an
unrecognizable mass. The train was
ditched and the cars piled on top of one
another over the track. 1t took about
fifteen hours to clear up the wreck, and
as a result the overland passenger trains
running east and west were delayed
about that time. The overland due here
at 3 O'Clock Tuesday did not get in until
yesterday morning at 6.
The body of the unfortunate engineer
was brought to Cotton, where his rela-
tiyes reside. He will be buried today.

the banquet hall was deserted.
