the home, washed and fed and, il necessary,
clothed. Then places are sought for them In
the country or the city.

THE PHOSPHATE BEDS IN FLORIDA
An expedition Of the geological survey has
just returned from Florida, whittier it was sent
to investigate the newly discovered phosphate
beds in that state, which arc undoubtedly the
most wonderful deposits Of their kind in the
world.
For a period covering SO many millions of
years that no one would ever think OF trying to
reckon the time, these beds were being formed
under the sea by billions of generations of mol
lusks and other shell fish, big and little, which
died and added their limy remains to the stead
lily increasing deposits. Thus when the ocean
surface, innumerabls sea fowl occupied them
for roosting purposes and their manure infil-
trated the shelly substance. This manure con-
tanned In large quantities phosphoric acid,
which took the place OF carbonic acid in the
lime and transformed it into phosphate Of that
substance. as the chemists calf it.
Now, 1t happens that phosphorfc acid is one
Of the elements most essential to vegetable re-
production, because it enters so largely into
the composition Of plants. Seeds are more

we'll worth trying by development. The
relative proportions of the limbs have much
to do with the gait, and should therefore
be considered. Since the greatest propel-
ling force comes from the hind parts, they
deserve first notice.
Irotters are distinguished from runners
by having the hooks well let down, while
with the latter they are elevated. This is
merely q question of leverage, and it is
plain that the farther the hock is from the
hip and whirlbone, the greater is the power
to impel the body with a single limb. Con-
versely the ability to use both levers, as at
the gallop, increases az the hooks are re-
short c%annon-bone and the low hock enable
the horse to take the maximum stride with
each leg in turn, and to maintain the trot
at his utmost speed.
Imported Messenger, whose blood is SO
largely represented in the fast harness per-
formers of the present, measured thirty
nine inches from hip to hook. while import
ed B~ellfounder, whose perfect ~trotting
action made him a valuable sire for this
country, was about an inch longer in this
respect. Rysdyk's Hambletonian, who
combined these two strains, was f%orty-one
inches between these Two joints, and his get
inherited this same physical advantage.
which has made them SO superior to other
families at the trot.
Lady Thorn, the greatest of the immeli-
ate descendants of Mambrino Chief, had a
Tremendous length of limb, with the hock
forty-two inches from the hip. This mare
had a wonderful stride, with a gait as steady
and even as could be desired, while, what
WAS equally important, she kept her hind
legs in a line with her body, and got the
full benefit of each step with little or no
waste of action. 1t is this gait which
breeders now ain, to produce, Snnol, Guy,
Axtell and Nancy Hanks being excellent
examples of this close. straight-line W ay of
going.
Knee action, which certainly adds to the
grace of trotting, cannot we'll be- obtained
without a sacrifice Of speed, and n very low
gait forward has also it's drawbacks. A
front leg with q short forearm and a long
nnnon bone cauAes the horse to lift the
knee high and bend it 30 much that the
stride is shortened, and the foot pounds
hard on the ground. Vice versa, the short
cannon bone and long forearm lnduca To Il
low step, with the knee stiff. The Morgan
and Clay strains are noted for high action
forward, while trotters with a strong in
fusion of thoroughbred tend to keep the
front feet close to the ground.
The unlon of Hambletonian and Nam
brino Chief blood has resulted in a happy
medium between the two eXoesses, and plo-
duced Il more uniform gait than most OF
the old-time trotters possessed. In choos-
ing n roadster the long forearm ia especially
to BIO avoided, as the horse Will be more apt
to break dow II no Is 'calf-kneed' than
when he has considerable action. Tn short
forearm and high kuee will cause the leg to
bend out, inst ad of back, us in tho othel
case, but the horse wilt last longer than
where the fore-teet reach far out, and come
down with a dangerous strain on the liga-

yermin on Stock,

Vermin, in this connection, means lice. Stock that is half starved during winter is usually lousy in the spring, and such young stock as are very thin in flesh in the spring should be attended to at once and the lice killed. This is easily done by saturating the skin over the spinal column with crude petroleum, or even with lard A little kerosene, say 10 per cent, mixed with the lard, will make it more effective; also satu- rate a strip down the shoulder, from the back down to the forearm. The careful stockman seldom has lice on bis stock. Cattle that are well cared for do not have them; yet any young stock that are not thriving should be examined for lice, and the remedy applied.

Tor the crop. The deep soil formed 0a the tops of the hills in California is s result of cumulative vegetable growth. Grass and other perennial fowths make soil much faster than timber growth; hence in wooded countries rich or deep soil is seldom found on hills or steep lands where the leaves are blown away and find their way into valleys. The nature and maintenance of soils is a subject of vastly greater importance than botanical classification, geology and good many other things taught in our schools and colleges, one easy to understand and interesting to every one. In some of the western states Michigan for one--and in them alone, so far as we know, are experimental laboratories for ascertaining facts per taining to agriculture.
 The writer of the above is not well posted on maize culture. In the corn growing prairie states there is seldom anything removed from the field but the ears. The stalks and blades are either plowed under or pastured down by cattle, and then what is left, includ- ing good crop of manure, is plowed under Unfortunately the cobs are not left to enrich the soil Cobs are very richin potash. Thegrain itself contains chiefly carbon, which is one of the cheapest ingredients in the soil.
 Another point which is open to ques- tion is the effect of wheat growing on soil. Wheat ranks high as an exhaust i've crop; but in rotation with other crops, and with the use of special ferti- lizers, mostly chemical, it is not so de- structive of soil.
 Nor does the writer in Industry give proper credit to the influence of winds in restoring soils. The fine soils on the gentle slopes of our mountains and broad low hills are in great part carried to place by winds. The trade winds so prevalent and constant in summer carry millions of tons of dust, rich in organic and inorganic matter. This dust is not deposited, as a rule, on timber belts nor on high attitudes. It is deposited in the valleys and on the lower foothills. The washings of rains and melting snow carries it down to the rivers, whence it is deposited in silt during overfows, and much of it reaches in. this way our low river lands, This is why river land, as a rule, is so rich in soils.
 The first care of the farmer should be to have his land grow richer instead of poorer.

A SIMILAR CASE.

The newspapers of Fresno, Cal, re- gently took occasion to bring to light the doings of Recorder Bell, a prominent Democratic official. Under pressure of the charges committee of prominent Democrats was convened, and while the evidence taken clearly proved Bell to be guilty of malfeance in office, they de- cided on purely party grounds to ignore the charges because they had been brought by Republican paper. The following is the closing sentence of the report: .. ...... .......
 We believe that the worst enemies of the Democratic party are those uf any such there bel who secretly encourage Republican assault upon members of the nemocratic paper, This class of men constitute the Benedict Arnold family in politics, and wherever and whenever such are found they deserve the execration of decent men. .... ......-..
 While in matter of quantity the case of Recorder Bell, of Fresno, does not parallel that of Attorney Williams, of this city, in point of whitewashing there is a strangely coincidental resem- blance. : .-r.... ......... , When THE REPUBLICAN, not as a party paper, but as public concern, showed plainly that Attorney Williams was re- ceiving money from the public crib to which he was not entitled, and suing for more, the Gazette, a Democratic pa- per, sought to divert public attention from the main point at issue by throw ing mud at it's betters. TIE REPUBLI- CAN had no personal feeling in the mat ter. It has none now. It simply told the facts that they might be brought plainly before the taxpayers for them to judge. The facts may not have been relished by MT. Williams, or the Gazette, as Democratic organ, but the party would have been Ilnmeasureably pene- fited by the party paper coming out promptly and demanding an investiga, tion of the truth of the charges, which, if true, should relegate Mir. Williams to the rear. The paper or any individ- ual member of any party who stand by politicians, right or wrong, vitiates the good effect of their following and the public a. large. No public journal can afford to stand Tn with political grab game at tke pu 5lic money, and against the people, at iarge. Such policy never wins. A party to command respect must "set" on it's individual members who attempt to misuse it's advantages.
 MT. Williams may have simply fol- lowed in the footsteps of illustrious and thrifty predecessors. He may simply have followed the example, as the Ca. zete intimates, of compadres around him. But in this there is no excuse. No man can truthfully say that the money which Mir. Williams aspires to has ever been earned. Few men will justify the method which he has taken to get it and in our humble and disin- terested opinion. the gentleman in question can keep his political bacon above the horizon much longer by re- linquishing claim, unjust and un- earned.

 Spring is the season when the young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

Buyers are looking for bargains, and they na- turally turn to these columns for an- nouncements. You can expect them to look you up and ask if you have any l thing to sell.
 Style is of paramount importance in advertising. We have been giving some striking samples of the possibilities in this line lately. Probably they have | caught your eye. That's what they're 1 for. This particular form of advertising has worked wonders in John Wana- makers business, and is known as the Wanamaker style. It has made his for tune.

Old-Fashioned Fowls.

A poultryman of long experience maintains that the old-fashioned barn. yard fowl is by all means the best for general purposes, if a little care is taken to introduce fresh males occasionally of the same kind of stock. He is no doubt correct, The pure descendants of the fowls brought overland to this coast by the pioneers forty years ago should be the best. They have become inured to the environment and diseases peculiar to the climate. A little care in selection would carry them in any direction, for they were mixture of all breeds, ex- cept the Asiatics.
