How Did the Dollar Mark Originator


Below / give five theories of the origin
of the dollar mark Co., they being select
ed from about 20 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is combination of the ''U. S.,"
the initials of United States.
That it is a modification of the figure
s, the dollar being formerly called a
''piece of eight"
That it is derived from representa-
ton of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two needlelike towers or pillars con-
nected with a scroll The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as ''pillar
dollars"
That it is combination of "H. ST.
the ancient Roman mark of money unit
That it is a combination of P. and s..
from peso duro. signifying "hard dol
lar" In Spanish accounts peso is con-
tracted by writing the S. over the p,
and placing it over the sum.
According to one writer the symbol Of
the dollar is monogram of the letters
"V" 'S' and 81" The dollar being
originally q 'thaler' coined in the val
ley of SAINT Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thaler,' and the
monogram the initials of the words,

Fattsning Chickens.

Claremont News: Old fowls may get
very fat while running at large. but
chickens not fully mature must be
closely confined and bountifully fed
with meal in order to wax fat.
1t is we'll to wet the meal with boiling
water and feed it warm. Two parts
corn to one part oats, ground together
and mixed with milk fattens chickens.
This feed cannot be excelled.sol
suitable crop should be provided,
the bottom made OF bars and raised
high enough to permit scattering dry
earth under or clearing away the ex-
cremen'e. Every precautionl should be
taken to avoid filthy condition. The
top and two of the sides may be also
made Of bare. TINS giving free circula-
tion OF air and affording means of maxi
ing the room smaller by putting in q
cross partition between the bars, making
the size right to accommodate q small
number of chickens. There should be
Just as many chickens in coop as may
stand or rooHt; not as crowded as a
centennial horse-car, but full. On the
two sides made of bars, one opposite
the other, troughs should be arranged
for feeding on the outside.
In cooping chickens for fattening, they
should be assorted, putting those OF like
condition together. Some may become
fat in two weeks; others must be fed
longer. When they are fat they should
be slaughtered, not kept along as you
might keep pigs. When you get chick
ems to the right condition they may be
called ripe, and further feeding is mostly
loss.

They Unly hnew Agassiz.

In 1858 a party consisting of Lowell,
Emerson, Agassiz, Judge Hoar, W. j.
Stillman and several others spent few
weeks of the summer in the Adiron-
dacks.
The journey of the company gave rise
to an incident which has often been in
correctly told, and which, as a curious
comment upon human fame, deserves to
be told again. The coming of the party
was Of course made known along the
track it would follow. and at Reese
vile, whsre the common roads then
ended, the town was agog to see the
philosophers" as they were at once
collectively called. But neither Emer-
son nor Lowell was known, Agassiz be-
ing the only celebrity to that world, ow
ing to his having recently refused the
offer by the emperor of France of the
keepership of the Jardin des Plantes at
Paris and senatorship with a large sal
airy, he preferring to devote himself to
science and America.
The selectmen of the town waited on
the visitors early in the morning after
their arrival to pay their respects, they
said, but really to see man who had
no regard for money and distinction.
They were received formally, the spokes-
man bringing a copy of periodical
which contained portrait of Agassiz,
which he produced and carefully com
pared with the lineaments of the pro-
fessor until he had satisfied himself of
the authenticity of the individual, when
he addressed his followers with, eyes,
it's himr' And they then proceeded to
shake hands with him, the rest of the
party being ignored.-W. J. Stillman in

The actual number OF cars used in
handling this freight was 1874, most cars
being loaded heavier than the standard
car load.
On Tuesday morning the sugar COM
pany sent out six carloads of sugar, con-
tanning 244, 900 pounds, the output OF the
previous days work at the factory. This
eclipses every previous days work, and
is, indeed, an immense amount of sugar
to be shipped from this place i'll one
day.
See what it amounts to 244, 900
pounds; 122 toms: six carloads OF 20
tons each, or 12 ordinary loads of 10 tons
each; literally q trainload day.
The Target run yet made at the sugar
factory was for "a hours ending at 6
O'Clock this morning, when 692 tons OF
beets were worked up. For the IL
hours ending this morning S34 tons were
worked. AS the estimated capacity OF
the factory ia $50 tons, this run would
indicate that it Is running remarkably
smooth and is being skilfully managed.
A very lively rivalry has been going
on the past couple of weeks between
Steve Tebo and w. L. Bevans as to
which could haul the larger load OF bsets
from the field to the factory. Tebo was
ahead until last Saturday, when Bevans
beat him a few pounds. Yesterday morn
ing Revsns again brought in the largest
load, weighing 1850 pounds. But he
didn't hold the banner long, for in the
afternoon Tebo brought in load weigh
ing Is, 100 pounds, or over seven and a
hall tons. Three loads were put on end
fiauled through the soft ground of the
gelds, and show draft horses and driv-
ing that cannot be beaten in this sec.

UNrvEnsrrY OF CALIFORNIA,
BRnKELEy, Sept. 10, 1881
Mr. L. P. Haskell, Rivera.
The specimen you send presents all
the characteristics OF the disease COM
m0nly called the "gum disease"
From the Investigations l have been
able to make concerning this disease, 1t
would eeem that it 10 produced by va
Yiety OF organiafns such az are ordinarily
associated with decaying vegetable mat
ter and not by any true parasite. The
cause of the attack of these organisms
must be looked for in some predisposing
condition. This condition is generally
and perhaps always.a quantity OF moist
decayinQ vegetable matter in direct con-
tact with the tree. This may be by the
use OF green manure against the crown
OF the tree. the planting of a young tree
over the decaying roots of another tree,
especially II il is in one that has died OF
this disease, or it may be that the dead
vegetable matter 10 furnished by the
tree itself in case the thick layer of dead
bark is produced by the basin system OF
irrigation.
In all of these cases period OF moist
ure is necessary to start the decay. The
need of moisture explains why the
disease invariably begins beneath the
ground.
Now, as for remedy, it appears that If
the disease is discovered aoon enough,
and If it does not involve the smaller
roots it is not difficult to cure-indeed,
it is remarkable what efforts the tree
makes to heal when it is nearly girdled.
The method that 10 suggested 10 to re-
move the earth from all diseased parts
of the crown or larger roots, and, unless
it is during the dry season, the dead
bark also. 1t might be useful to these
parts. Apply fungicide, as Bordeaux
mix ture. Do not return the earth un-
til the dead bark is entirely replaced by
new, and rub of and remove all the
old fragments. 1t might be we'll. also,
to use new earth as free aH possible from
vegetable substance.

Grape-Fed Hogs.

Butchers' Gazette: The suggestion
that the surplus grape crop be used in
fattening hogs is good one. The large
packing houses Of the South San Fran
cisco Land and Improvement company
are paying the largest market price for
hogs In the state, and those hog raises
who may have q surplus OF fruit will do
well to fatten their hogs on it.
As has been shown before, ripe grapes
are good for pork makers, and at present
prices there ought to be satisfactory
profit in converting fruit into pork.
The proposition is to turn the hogs
into the vineyard and let them do the
harvesting. This Of course would not
produce the best results, as it would in

rare Varieties OF Bantams.

Claremont News: Fly Fishers are an
English variety with slaty blue plum
age like the Andalusian. The hackle
feathers were used in making artificial
flies for fishing. hence the name. They
are probably close relation to the
Cuckoo bantams. The Silk bantam is
called g separate variety by some, but
much resembles the silkies, which are
often no larger than bantam. Their
plumage is very fine. and much like silk.
The Partridge bantam is small edition
OF the Golden Spangled Hamburg, which
1t resembles in all points but size, hav-
ing the rose comb, blue legs and color and
markings. The Frizzled bantams are
another oddity, having recurved plum
age. They are nothing but dwarf speci-
mems of the Frizzled fowls, and are
found only in England.
There are several other varieties Of
bantame in the process of development,
and it ia only question OF time, perse-
verance and skillful breeding when we
shall have bantam or dwarf of every
standard breed and variety. For BAN
tama are really nothing but dwarfH and
early Matching and heavy feeding will
more than double their size in two gen.
erations. Late Matching and scant feed
ing are the true secrets OF keeping them
email. Crossing is resorted to to get q
bantam from the larger breeds like the

CHINO BEET SUGAR.
Some Interesting Facts from Locl
Paper.


Some Interesting Facts from Local
Paper.
The New Orleans, Louisiana, Planter
publishes the following from the Chino
Champion OF September Sth:
When one watches the work going on
in all departments OF the sugar industry
here now. from the harvesters as busy
as bees in the field to the great pulsat-
ing center OF the industry in the factory,
/ he cannot fail OF being Impressed with
the enormous magnitude OF the cam
paign this year. The industry speaks
for itself. 1t is the most profitable,
most satisfactory and most encouraging
work that California farmers are en-
gagged in today, and not only to the
farmers and manufacturers directly in
terested, but TO all classes in the etate
the benefits OF the operation of this in
dustry are more or less felt.
During the month OF August there
were 12,407 tons harvested from the
Chino beet fields. and for these there
will be paid SOL .764.18, which will go
directly into circulation hereabouts.
During the past week the harvest was
1922 tons, or an average OF SAT tons per
day. The delivery OF these beets at the
sugar factory is accomplished with the
greatest facility and despatch. Every
thing is going on smoothly, and although
there are often over 20 loads in line at
the gate waiting to be weighed, there is
no confusion at the scales or at the
sheds. Everything is orderly and sys-
tematically done, and with the new
engine unloading is done quickly.
Inside the factory as we'll as outside
the work is going on at high tension.
Every department is working for the
best possible returns. and for the past
week nearly every days work has ex-
ceeded that of the previous day. For
"a honrs ending at 6 O'Clock this morn
ing, 800 tons of beets we're run through,
making the largest days run yet.
The sugar output for the past week
has been the largest OF any week yet,
being 1,24H836 pounds, or 62l tons. an
average of 103 tons day. The output
for the SEASON up to this morning lie
b,527 1922 pounds, or 1854 tons, or 276
car loads. as
Agent George slusher has favored us
with tho figures on freight movements
at the Chino station, and they form a
good index OF the amount OF business
done here. For the month OF August
there were shipded from hers in car
load lots 4,755,518 pounds OF freight,
making 11S car loads. averaging 40,3Ol
pounds each. For the same time the
car load lots received amounted to
6.S65.16 pounds. The total of all
freight handled here for the month was
1871, ,9s4 pounds, or 686 car loads OF
10 tons each.
For the week ending this morning the
freight movements in car load lots were
as follows:
