Luck In Seeds.

with my seeds last year." farmer
was heard to say. This gives rise
TO the question: How many poor
crops can be attributed to "luck"
in the selection of seeds? Buying
seeds is an important factor in
farming apd should receive the
careful judgment and consideration
of the farmer. It is almost always
impossible TO distinguish the good
from the bad in seeds by sight, and
the only ipfallihle guide for the
planter is the reliability Of the
scotsman. D. NJ. Ferry a Co., OF
Detroit, Mich, have for many years
been the leading seed house Of this
country, and their reliability is un-
questioned. They issue book an

A just Decision.

The State Supreme Court has
decided the case Of James Harvey
against the Alturas Gold Mining
Company in favor of the plaintiff,
affirming the decision Of the lower
court. Harvey was, in 1886, en-
gagged as a pumpman to the Ida
Eimore mine at Rocky Bar owned
by the defendants. While engaged
in repairing pump that was in a
VIGOROUSLY defective and danger
Gus condition, he was terribly in
iured, both of his arms being rem
dered useless. He sued for $1O,-
600 damages and secured a verdict
in the Fourth District Court. James
H. Beatty, now United States Judge,
was sitting on the bench. The de-
PENDANTS appealed, and the case has
been pending until last Monday.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
is that where an employer furnish
ishes his employee with defective
tools and appliances, and refuses
to remedy the defect after having
been notified by said employee, he
is liable to said employee for any
damages that may accrue to said
employee through the agency OF
such defective tools and appliances.
The laboriny people of Idaho have
taken a great interest in the case.

properly. The true disease became known
when German girl who came over with
the young man revealed the fact that there
were cases of smallpox on board the ship
