The Difference.

Down in Mason Valley the ranch
ers thought the Creamery Company
was not paying enough for milk, SO
they started creamery of their
own. The old creamery is paying
80 cents per hundred for milk and
the new creamery, started by the
ranchers, is paying only 70 cents.
The ranchers are discovering that
experience costs money.-Carson
Appeal.
And it might be added that while
the old Creamery Company, which
is composed of outside men, is levy
ing assessments to continue opera
tons the Phoenix Creamery is rum
ming on legitimate business basis
and paying expenses. /,

How 10 Find the Value.

Some inquiries are made how to
find the gold value of the silver dol
lar when the price of silver is given.
Multiply the market value of silver
by 77B; this gives the gold value of
the silver dollar. The factor of 775
is the result obtained by dividing
371b, the number of grains of silver
in a dollar, by 4S0, the number OF
grains in a troy ounce.

The Pear and Cherry slug.
[Newspaper bulletin No. 8. |

Each year at about this season the
leaves of the pear and cherry trees
are attacked by great numbers of
small dark-colored Shiny worms
presenting different sizes, owing to
their varying ages. These are the
young of a small black "saw-fy,"
so called because of its habit of
saving a slit in the leaf within
which its egg is deposited. The in
sect is injurious only in its younger
or larval stage, the only one in which
it is commonly observed. The eggs
are placed within the substance of
the healthy leaf near the upper sur
face. The young larva on Matching,
breaks through the thin leaf skin
and at once begins to feed upon the
green tissues of the leaf, leaving I'M
touched the framework which is
more woody in texture. This con-
tinues for two or three weeks during
which the growing larva casts its
skin several times. Usually all ex-
cepting the last of the skins are
eaten, the final casting being left
adhering to the leaf. The nearly
mature worm is somewhat less than
half inch in length and is enlarged
near the head, which reminds one
of a young tadpole. The color is
dark olive. The most peculiar and
characteristic feature is the Shiny
condition of the skin, owing to
which the term "slug" has been APP
piled. This Shiny skin is replaced
at the final moult by one light yell
low in color. The appearance of
this stage is soon followed by the
descent of the larva into the ground,
where it remains between two and
three weeks within a silken cocoon.
The mature females on emergence
lay eggs for second brood. Be-
tween the periods of the two broods
is per cd when very few if any of
the worms can be found, but indi-
viduals of the second brood may be
found until late in Autumn.
These worms yield to treatment
most readily. Owing to the tender
nature of their bodies, a true poison
is unnecessary in destroying them.
Almost any moderately caustic-
liquid which will not injure the
foliage will destroy them by simple
contact. Of those of this nature
that have been proved valuable and
only moderately expensive may be
mentioned tobacco decoction, kero-
sene emulsion, buhach and white
hellebore. Common road dust
sifted upon the trees when the worms
are plentiful will destroy very many
of them. They are thus killed by
the closing of their breathing pores
by the dust. The buhach and white
hellebore should be applied in liquid
form. These being vegetable pro-
ducts, no injury to the tree will
follow.

Station relates to this subject and

California Races.

Racing commenced in Napa, Cal. :,
this week, and as number of new
stables, including those of Palo Alto
and Walter Maben, are in the field
to go against those that have been
doing the circuit, it is calculated
that the sport will be of better quail
ity than that given at Vallejo and
Oakland. {
There is lots of room for improve
ment, however, as the present sea-
son has been the tamest and least
sensational of any given in Califor-
MIA for years. The infusion of the
new material will therefore be very

Mr. Prentice now says that next spring
he intends channeling out twenty feet
more from the quarry, and that II he
then desires he can safely agree to furu-
ish monolith twenty feet longer than
the one now quarried.
The monolith is OF Lake Superior
brown stone, an analysis Of which made
by Professor c. 4. Chandler, Phi. d., OF
the school of mines, Columbia College,
New York, showed 1t to contain the fol-
lowing ingredients: Silica, 81. 40; farric
oxide; 200; alumina, 3.53; lime, .25;
magnesia, none; potash, 2.36; soda,
II sulphur. none; carbonic acid, none;
moisture, .05; a total of 99.75 per cent.
and has an average weight Of $50 pounds
to the cubic foot aud showing a COM
preston of strength of 749l pounds per
square inch.
Mr.. Prentice's first proposition to fur
nish the monolith was for stone just a
triae larger than the Egyptian obelisk,
which is 105 feet seven inches exclu-
sive of the foundation, aud nine feet
square at the base. He first intended the
monolith to be LOG feet in length and
nine feet two inches at the base, but
upon q later consideration decided to
have it lis feet long, ten feet at the
base and four feet square at the top.
The apex will be about five feet long
and will be tapered to about ak inch
tip. The entire monolith will rest upon
foundation OF granite ten feet high
and twelve feet square.

accepted Mr.. Prentlce's generous tender
and agreed to take the stone as soon as
It was broken from its bed and move
and erect the same on the grounds to be
designated by the FAIR officials at Chi
cago. Accordingly, work was COM
menced at once with five steam channel
ers and about forty men on the 1st of
August last.
Work was first pursued on the Wilson
Island quarry, and after some time had
been spent in uncovering the top layer
without finding body Of rock which
met Mr.. Prentice's approval the work
was transferred to the quarries at Hough-
ton Point, in bayfield, County. 1t took
but few days there to locate rock Of
the desired quality aud size, and few
days after the explorations began men
were busily engaged in uncovering and
marking out the monolith. The work
went steadily on, and on November 10th
Mr.. Prentice was able to make the graf
living statement that a stone Of the re-
quired size lay open to inspection and all
that was yet needed for him to fulfill his
agreement was the breaking Of it from
the mass of which it had been part.
The announcement was made by Mr..
Prentice that the monohth would be
loosened on Friday, November 18th,
and on that day the public were invited
to the quarry to witness the event. When
November 18th came large assemblage
of citizens boarded the ferryboats and
were transferred to Houghton Point,
where the quarry is located aud whore
the brown stone monster was waiting to
be broken from its resting place.
Previous to the day OF raising, the
workmen Of the quarry had carefully
started the parting wedges, 90 that on
