There 1s more catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced It local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t In
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from

HOW TO PLANT TREES.

With the numerous excellent books
and papers in every branch of horticul-
ture now to be had so cheaply, it seems
almost needless to offer instruction on so
simple matter as planting tree, yet so
often is the question asked by customers,
that try to answer here for all who do
not know. Make ground thoroughly
mellow at least fifteen inches deep and
three or four feet wide every way, if
holes are to be dug; thorough plowing OF
entire plat is preferable ifit can be done.
Prune the tree close, straighten out roots
evenly, having the tree standing the
81 me depth it was in nursery; work fine,
mellow soil-but no manure-all among
the roots, and when they are all covered
an inch or two, then press the soil very
firmly down with the foot or broad
ended maui, after which fill up evenly
with loose soil, over which mulch of
rotten straw or manure three or four
inches deep, extending three feet every
way from the tree. Whether the mulch
is put on or not, keep the soil we'll cult
waited about the tree. In this climate all
fruit trees should be headed low and
leaned q little to the southwest when
plauted.-Fdrm and Ftreside.

SHOULD THE BULL BE PUT TO WORK.

sHOuLD lh6 DULL Dc XVI ~ "OA'
"Put the bull to work" Such is the
advice which we 6nd in one OF our ex-
changes. Very good, as far as the theory
goes. But when it comes to the practi-
cal part of it we would like to inquire
what line of work the bull can do to ad
vantage at this season Of the year. 1t is
not time to plow, and if it was the bull
would not make very good team to plow
with. If O harness was made for him,
and cart was provided, he might be
used for drawing manure to the fields;
but these trappings would cost more
than his work would be worth, and the
horses or oxen usually employed for the
purpose would find their "occupation
gone" The same trouble about work
lug the bull will be found at all seasons
of the year. There is very little work to
be done on the ordinary farm which the
bull Can do to advantage. Not only
this, but the bull is an unsafe animal to
handle. He is always treacherous, is
liable to be violert, and is never to be
trusted for moment. 1t might be good
for the bull to work, but we believe
that, in the great majority of cases, the
bull would receive a great deal morc
benefit than his owner would obtain from
the labor which he performed. .-A0aeri-

ga Straigt Tip" ''Siubad' has been doing an
enormous business, while Powers and "a
Straight Tip are big favorites here. The
war began on Thursday with a $500 bet
between John F. Harley, the business manager
of "a Straight Tip" and George Bowles, who
occupied a hike position with "Sinbad," that
"a Straight Tip" before sunday would be the
better advertised show of the two. This morn
ing Bowles came down to the California theater
and paid the bet. He acknowledged a fair and
square defeat "Snbad" was literally showed
under by the vast amount and extent of the
"Straight Tip advertising matter. The dead
walls, the cigar stores, the shop windows and
all the principal public places fairly blazed with
the pictured glory of Powers aud "A Straight
Tip" In addition, Harley sent up
1900 toy balloons, each with light inside, on
Saturday evening. Like a myriad OF fireflies
these hung over the city and made brilliant
display, which attracted the admiring gaze OF
thousands. As climax to the fight, on Satur-
day night, or rather early Sunday morning,
thirteen of the rival bill-posters were arrested,
and their fines swelled the city treasury this
morning to the extent of Sis. Altogether the
episode was a notable one. but BOwles is out
$500 and "a Straight Tip rules supreme in San
