California Prices in lS49.

During the winter of 1S49-5O, the
cost OF living was extreme. AS the
season was very wet one, the roads
and trails were full of mudholes, in
which supply wagons were stuck and
mules and oxen mired. Wagons and
animals were unlOaded several times
a day to eXtricate them from the
mud, and in one instance at least
fourteen days were spent on the road
from Stockton, fifty miles away.
Flour reached dollar a pound, rice
the same, pork, and bacon a dollar
and sixty cents a pound, saleratus
sixteen dollars q pound, and sper-
maceti candles a. dollar each. An
ounce of gold was the price of a pick
or a shovel, and almost anything
needed, except fresh beef, commanded
q proportionate price. That all
miners did not get rich is accounted
Tor in the statement that it took Il
tar claim to pay expenses. The short
duration OF placer claim, the loss of
time in finding another, and too
general restlessness, tell the story of
many failures to realize fortune by
even those who were the most lucky.
Too often it was due TO extrava-
gance, gambling, or the guzzling of
brandy or whiskey at eight dollars q
bottle. But drunk or sober one was
obliged to pay two ounces for a pair
of pantaloons, a hundred dollars for
pair of long-legged boots, and four
dollars expressage for a letter-Pio-

Profit in Live Stock.

There are always farmers who will
sell-perhaps must sell-calves, colts
and yearlings. There's your chance.
20 and buy and pay a fair price for
the stock and keep it until or4years
old. Yes, if so inclined, you may in
clude pigs and sheep.
In order to make money by this
route your farm must be in condition,
W.: There must beplenty ofpasture,
meadow or hay, and the bins and
cribs full OF, oats and corn. This
necessitates that, with the intention
OF pursuing the course recommended,
you must take year to get ready,
An, say you, that requires capital.
Certainly. Do you know of any
business which does not require CAPT
tai? No other way thanlabor. That
may be all the capital you have,
and it may not be agreeable to
invest that way. But, to return
to our subject. I have never known
a man who had good judgement OF
values, who studied the market re-
ports, and who persistently followed
the course indicated, but made mon
ey, and in the long run became
rich.
There is still another condition, he
must never be obliged to sell until his
stock is ln-tirst class condition.
When you are ready to sell and
your stock is in frst-class shape,
large, fat and handsome, keep the
stock on your place and the buyers
Will come to you. First-class stock
does not 90 begging; it will sell and for
ilrst-class prices, too, notwithstand-

syndicate and other butchers have
made contracts which must be met
and sometimes the must will be for
them to face. In such case prices
Will 60 up and the boot will be on the

Top-Dressing Pays.

/ It has been the custom with us to
haul the cattle manure direct to the
grass-lands as it is made, and the
longer we follow the practice the more
certain we are that in no other way
can a farm be more rapidly improved.
BY no manipulation can manure be
made richer in the elements of fertility
than when first produced. Then why
store it and risk, the danger of waste
from calculations and teaching? BY
applying in it's fresh coarse state we
get all the plant nutrition there is in
it, and in addition have the benefit of
it as a protection to grass roots in
winter, and a shelter from the scorch-
ing heat of summer Year by year

Farm Notes.

Early Matched chickens are the best
for laying and for breeding; select the
best and keep them.
There is much in knowing how to
feed poultry to the best advantage as
any stock on the farm.
Many farms will have no pigs and
lambs as disturbing elements this sea-
son. In some cases good reason is
evident-the plague recently-for the
first lack; and occasionally one is jus
titled in barring out the lambs. Many
general farmers are likely as a result,
to be disturbed also, in rounding up
the year, to make income and outgo
meet.

Expense of EVergreens.

Expense is urged as an objection
to raising evergreens. It might have
been urged as such years ago, but the
skill OF propagating this class of trees
has become great, and it is more
generally known how to grow them
from the seed. This has cheapened
them and brought the planting OF
evergreens within the reach OF every
one who has any hold on the soil.
The price OF hundred ever-greens ten
years ago will now buy a thousand.
The younger they are bought the
cheaper they are. All Anticipated to
the contrary notwithstanding, there
is no easier, nicer, more satisfactory
and inexpensive work than transplant7
ing young evergreens. All cost in
evergreens now is time and labor IN
t"ansplanting and transportation if
gotten from distance, and the list of
growers now show that these have
been reduced to q minimum. At
prices which growers offer them now
anyone having any enthusiasm or in
clination toward tree planting should
not ignore evergreens.i
Notes Of the Dairy.
All milk should be strained i'm
nediately after it is drawn.
Pure cold water should be allowed
in quantities limited only by the cows
capacity and desire to drink.
Milk is better for being kept over
night in small quantities rather than
a large quantity in one vessel.
In warm weather all milk should be
cooled by the temperature of the
atmosphere, after it has been aired,
but not before
The oils of the various kinds of
grain fed to dairy COWS have very
much to do with the quality of the
butter. Cottonseed, while giving an
increased flow of milk, rich in butter
fat, makes the butter greasy and
sticky. Oats and bran give good oils
for butter, but the best is the oil OF
corn. To the general use of corn in
feeding dairy COWS in the West is due
to a. great extent the fine flavor Of
Western butter.

Spinach.

Spinach.
AS spinach lasts but a short time it
is necessary to sow it frequently. 1t
is so hardy that it may be put in the
ground very early. It grows rapidly
and is soon readyfor use. Theground
should be made very rich, and the
seed put in drills one foot apart and
an inch deep, though they do well
when sown broadcast and covered a
depth proportional to their size.
The thick leaved and thelarge round
leaved spinach are both good varieties
for spinach planting. The New. Zea-
land for summer, and the prickly seed
for winter, the one withstanding
drouth, and the other hardy. The
former is much used in New Zealand
and has become extensively cultivat-
ed as kind of spinach elsewhere. The
prlckly has triangular, arrow-headed
leaves. There is also a Savoy variety
the Wrinkled leaves resembling cab
bage, and the Virofay, which is per-
haps the newest sort, with very large,
thick leaves.
Spinach, though so unlikein appear
ance, is a near relative of the beet and
the mangel wurtzel. Every year spin
ach seems to increase in popularity.
The market gardener, of course pre-
pares the ground and sows his seed in
the fall. There is no reason why the
farmer when he makes his garden in
the spring should not have beds OF
spinach, as it requires little skill to
cultivate it with success. 1t is we'll to
give it a sheltered place, as it needs
to grow rapidly to develop the succu-
lent tenderness of the leaf. After the
spinach is quickly and we'll grown it
should not be spoiled in the cooking.
The leaves may be pulled from the
stalks, washed in cold water boiled
Is or 20 minutes, then drained
quite dry in a colander chopped fnein
wooden bowl returned to the sauce
pan and we'll heated and seasoned,
then dished in hot dish and garnish-
ed with slices OF hard boiled eggs
This is the simplest and one of the
best ways of serving this early and
very desirable vegetable, but it may
also be prepared a la creme, moulded
Or served on toast or with eggs.

Bumblefoot in Poultry.

Bumblefoot, or scaly leg, is due to
the presence of very minute parasites
which migrate from bird to bird, es-
pecially during the night at the roost-
places. Soak thelegs in warm water
as warm as the hand can stand it
and thereafterrub into the scaly parts
a good coating of green or soft soap.
Repeat this soaking and application
every morning for week. Then with
the handle OF a teaspoon carefully re-
move by degrees, day by day, more
and more of the scales, but so that
the foot is not wounded or in the
least made raw. II necessary soak
some more as at first. When thus as
much as possible has been removed
or that the leg has become reduced
nearly to normal size, apply once a
day during three successive days, a.
a thorough good coat of balsam of
Peru, and eight days thereafter re-
peat this last remedy as before. The
balsam should not be washed
off. If after another eight days
any undue soreness OF the legs should
be apparent, apply once daily SO long
as 1t may seem necessary, a coat of
vaseline. During the treatment the
birds should be kept from wet or
muddy ground. The poultry house
should be thoroughly scraped and
cleaned out as well as the nest boxes.
These latter, as we'll as the roosting
poles should be treated with scalding
hot water, and SO should the floor,
walls and ceiling OF the poultry house.
Ii this latter is not convenient or
easily accomplished in a. sufficiently
thorough manner every nook, corner
and crevice should be given a coat of
hot lime wash. The dirt removed
from the poultry house and the con-
tents Of the nest boxes should be care
fully collected and burned. Ii the
roosting poles are old and full ofcrack,
it is best to put in new ones, which
should first be given a coat of tar and
dried. The floor Of the poultry house
as well as the nest boxes should be
cleaned out at least once every week
and some coal ashes busted on the
floor and into the nest boxes beneath
a fresh Wisp of straw. 5#
