Thus, according to the banking branch of
the Postoffice, California sends out nearly
100000 more money in a year than she re-
ceiyes from abroad. The comparison is i'm
perfect, from the want of returns from the
bankers who transact most of the business
in money transfers. But it may be regarded
as a straw Indicating the course OF the re-
tail branch Of that business. Small remit
tances are usually sent by postal order. In
point Of fact California is a creditor State,
and exports more than she imports. If
proper efforts were made to develop indus
tries in this State so as to render US more
independent OF the East, the exchanges
would reveal a state of things which would
ensure a steady Western drift OF coiu.

and is capable of pulping about forty
eight bushels of potatoes an hour. In
both these machines the rasping sur
faces are kept clean by the action of
small jets of water projected with
some force.
AS the washed potatoes are passed
through one of these machines. the
pulp and wash water are run off into
tubs, and after the coarser particles
have been deposited, the milky liquid is
drawn off into other tubs, and the
starchy matter allowed to settle: or, as
in large factories, the pulp may be
rubbed and washed through series of
sleeves, ranging from coarse wire gauze
to fine haircloth. After repeated wash
ings with fresh water in the tubs, to
separate the gummy and fibrous mat
tiers, the starch granules are finally al
lowed to settle, and after the water has
been drawn off the pasty mass of
starch and water is run off into long
wooden troughs, slightly inclined,
wherein the paste gradually hardens as
the water drains off. When hard
enough, it is cut into blocks and put on
shelves in warm room to dry out.
With good management, from seven
teen pounds to eighteen pounds of clear
starch can be obtained by these simple
means from 100 pounds of average po-
tatOeS.

THE LAXATIVE GUMDROP.

This new cathartic is the most de
lightful form of a laxative that has
ever been offered to the public. II IS
in the form of an ordinary gum drop,
and it has no medicinal taste, and can
be eaten like piece of confectionery
The results, too, are pleasant. 1t IS
the most complete remedy for dyS-
pepSia, summer troubles, biliousneSs,.
headache, and all those maladies for
which the ordinary cathartic is pre-
scribed. 1t acts as a gentle stinHulanf,
not violent, but perfectly safe and GER
tain. In this respect it is far superior
to the ordinary pill, with the addition
al merit of not being disagreeable to
take. 1t is just the thing for children
on this account and for people with
weak stomachs. These gurdropS ara
put up in packages, the small ones
selling at ten cents, the large ones at
twenty-five cents. If your druggist
does not have them we will send Them
to you by mail OH receipt of the price,
but we prefer to have you get them OF
your druggist.

SHEEP SHEARiNGS.

TEN good sheep are better than thirty
poor ones.
Do NOT attempt to keep too many
sheep on the pasture.
DOES warm weather favor the growth
of wool? asks an inquirer. Certainly.
Wool when first taken from the
sheep looks better and weighs heavier
than it ever will afterwards.
IN England the fjockmasters change
the feed of the flock quite often, and
even change the pastures.
THE flock that is regularly fed and
watered and properly housed from
storms will produce the best fieeces.
THERE is no call in the market for
thin sheep or lambs. At least the call
is not very loud, not loud enough to in
dictate profit.
TIMOTHY hay for sheep is like fence
rail compared to clover. Besides if
it is not cut until the straw becomes
ripe it is dangerous to lambs.
WILL not the production of good NUT
ton be over done? asks correspon-
dent. Not in your life, friend. and we
have not the slightest idea how young
you are either.
WE may produce the best fleece that
ever grew on a sleeps back, but if
we handle the wool carelessly, an in
ferior wool that is better handled will
bring better price than ours.-Farm-
ers' Voice

a Simple Operation Requiring But Little

Some time ago the necessity for de-

large quantity of understandable po-
tatoes that had accumulated in the
city and that were held in the interior
because of the lack of a remunerat we

The process is SO simple and the
mechanism SO inexpensive that there is
nothing to prevent potato growers all
over the state who are threatened with
a surplus from engaging in the making
of starch. The New England Home

alton. and it is reproduced here for the

do it in just the right way, too

That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take; only one little Pellet
is needed for a gentle laxative
three for cathartic. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-

dealer better, may be offered as
