Lambs for Early Market.

Mr.. j. F. Keller says:
after testing several breeds myself
and carefully noting the results Of other
growers experience with the various
mutton breeds. conclude for the pur-
pose in hand none surpass and few equal
the Southdown. True, as producers Of
wool they rate very low; however, this
quality Is Of little consequence as COM
pared with a combination of other vaIu-
able features found in this breed. These
may be briefly mentioned as follows:
Hardy constitution and freeness from
disease; will admit of being kept in
larger fiocks than any other mutton
breed symmetrical form and round
blocky carcass, well supported with stout
yet fine-boned limbs, early maturity with
a tendency to take on fat readily at any
age, with a carcass that assumes a we'll
matured and blocky form when quite
young; mutton of the finest texture and
flavor, with a very small proportion OF
offal. My high-grade and thoroughbred
Southdown lambs were said to be the
best marketed in this county this season.
They were not remarkable for size, but
for quality. At an average age of sixty
days they weighed averaged forty
eight pounds and netted cents per
pound on the farm. Other good growers

Flavor of Eggs.

The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poultry.
When hens are fed largely or almost ex-
clusively on milk the yolk is lighter in
color, the white has a milky look and
the whole egg is watery and less firm in
texture than those laid by granted
hens. The taste of the egg Is also af-
fected. being insipid and unsatisfactory
when boiled or poached, and less fine for
ordinary cooking purposes even. There
is no use is saying that the idea of the
quality of eggs being Influenced by the
food of the hen is a mere within, since it
is a well-known fact that eggs of fowls

REGIONS sell for less in the market in
some instances than those coming from

The reason why hens fed on "slops"
of milk. etc, are able to give no better
eggs to their owners is because the odd,
old story is repeated in their case. You
demand the tale of bricks of your SER
wants but you give them no straw to
make them with. Curd hardly comes

The Milking Stool.

So long as the pasture is good COWS
care little for green corn.
The pasture will last the longer the
fewer cows there are in it; therefore,
the cows that are in it should be good
ones.
Then the dairyman will be In 1t.
1t takes some of us a long time to find
out that 1t does not pay to feed poor
cows.
Some never will learn that it is cheaper
to pay IS for the service of a pure-bred
bull than to have the service of scrub
free
1t costs no more to raise a grade or
pure-bred calf than a scrub, yet the one
will make COW that will begin to pay
at two years of age while the other may
cost more than she comes to every year
of her life
Because an occasional scrub cow proves
TO be good mixer is no reason why we
should breed scrubs.
When we breed pure-bred we draw
comparatively few blanks; when we
breed scrubs we draw comparatively few
prizes.
In the second generation still fewer,
and by the third or fourth scarcely any.
When pure-bred bull costs so little it
seems a pity to use a scrub which costs
so much-in future losses.
If the present corn crop should prove
to be poor one it may pay those who
have money to invest some of it in lin
seed meal. and put X IN bin to use next
winter.

one who buys when the market is at its
lowest.

A wheat Problem.

Had ] better sell my wheat at 55
cents or hold it for a higher price?"
was question recently propounded to
DR.. W. 1. Chamberlain, and he answers
as follows:
The writer has his crop Of wheat in
the granary and intends to keep it there
until developments advance the price
or demonstrate that advance is not to
be expected. From all the information
he can gather he believes that the
worlds crop this year falls short of
what the world will demand. The most
careful calculations make the supply.
including the large surplus carried
over, about 100,000,000 bushels short
Against this we have financial string
eney, business depression and an alb
normally large supply of wheat in sight
These three things forced the price
down TO the lowest point ever recorded
IN the commercial history of the coun-
try, and this low price is rapidly re-
moving the incubus of a large available
supply. Europe is buying wheat at a
great rate now. The exports last week
were 100000 bushels larger than the
week before and 2.370,000 bushels larger
than the corresponding week last year,
while the receipts were very much
smaller 1t is estimated that the visible
supply last week was decreased $50. 900
bushels against an increase of 3.522 900
bushels the corresponding week last
year.
These facts tell their own story and
are having their legitimate effect.
Wheat Is firmer, stronger and more
active than a week ago at every point.
II an advance can thus be made In the
face OF the greatest business depression
and financial stringency known. since
the war what will result when money
becomes easier and business revives,
and the available supply is reduced
TO normal proportions?
whether business revives soon or not
the financial situation must improve be-
fore long. Money can not lie idle a
great while. IT will sOon be seeking
safe investment and the low price OF
wheat is already attracting II. With
plenty Of money at easy rates the
price Of wheat will advance even II

EDS. RECORD-UNIoN: On Saturday
evening party of apparently escapes
from the Stockton Asylum descended
upon the peaceful village of Washington,
Yolo County. They crossed the bridge
without detection, and arrived at Church
ill's Hall in safety. There, with bravery
worthy of better cause, they inflicted
upon the unotfending citizens the very
worst performance ever witnessed by
mortal eyes.
Two young contortionists, who were
hired O. by the alleged management,
were very clever. These gentlemen
proved themselves to be artists of merit.
A ten-year-old miss, in her accom-
plished songs, dances, etc., was heartily
received.
The hit of the evening was made by a
burlesque lecturer, who, in his fifteen
minutes, kept the audience conyulsed
with laughter. He is bird.
4 feature of the evenings entertain
ment was the presentation to an actor
of beautiful bouquet. 1t was head
of cabbage, and the audience thought it
appropriate.
The moral to be derived from this is
that Washington should have more elf

JEFFBRIS CASE DISMISSED.
Judge Prewett Rules that Harris Tech
nicality was Right.
The Engineer VIII Now Have to Be
Tried for Bigamy in San
Francisco

The charge of bigamy preferred against
George JefTeris, the locomotive engineer,
was dismissed Saturday by Judge Prev
EFT. The latter ruled that the point raised
by Attorney A. l.. Hart, 70 the effect that
the county of Sacramento did not have
jurisdiction because the crime was COM
mitted in San Francisco, was well taken.
The court said:
ut was admitted by both sides that the
crime, if any, had been committed in the
city and county of San Francisco. The
first inquiry would naturally be as to
what is the meaning of apprehension
and. secondly, was defendant appre-
hended in Sacramento County, and, in
the third place, is Section 7S5 of the Penal
Code in violation of Section of Article
/. of the Constitution? Section 1856 OF the
Penal Code says that person can be
prosecuted for bigamy either in the
county where the crime is committed or
in the county where he is apprehended.
1t appears that bigamy is an exception,
as all such crimes as battery, murder,
etc, must be tried in the county where
the otiense is committed. Another ex-
ceptlon i'll cases of jurisdiction is that a
crime committed within 500 yards of a
county boundary can be tried in either
county.
In larceny case where the crime
charged is committed in one county and
the stolen goods are taken to another
county 1t is trable in either county, as 1t
is continuation OF the crime to carry the
plumber away. The evidence in this case
shows that the defendant was arrested in
Alameda County by an officer OF this
county, who had warrant issued in this
county, and that the formal act OF serving
the warrant was not performed until he
arrived i'll this county. 1t appears, also,
that he was unprecedented for the crime of
murder, and not for bigamy. While in
Jail i'll this county he was served with a
bench warrant on an indictment which
had been found against him by the
Grand Jury. That was the first and only
time he was ever unprecedented for the
crime OF bigamy.
The term apprehended, in legal
sense, means captured or arrested. The
court did not think the word apprehended
was synonymous with the word impris-
oned. The term apprehended is one
rarely used in legal actions. Appre-
hended means to take into custody. He
is imprisoned when he is taken and de-
tanned or deprived of his liberty. The de-
PENDANT was apprehenGed when the Off
GERS took him on the charge for which the
warrant was issued. He was appre-
hended in Alameda County, and it was a
continuous custody from the time of his
arrest until he was released on bail"
After quoting number OF authorities,
the court dismissed the case.
Jetferis was held under bail, however,
in order to give the San Francisco au-
thorltles to proceed against him. The
charge of murder which is pending
against him was set for October 3lst.

SATURDAYS CONTESTS.
How the Senators Consummated Their
Third Straight Victory.

Third Straight Victory.
The Los Angeles put up good game
against the Senators Saturday, but not
quite good enough to win.

published-in the box, and while he was
only hit safely four times, he was SO wild
that eleven of the Angels walked to first

The Sacramentos opened the game with
three runs, which really won the game
Tor them. Mannasau hit to right and was
sale on Hughes brilliant mutl. Sweeney
retired on fly to Wright and Whitehead
went to first on balls. Both Mannasau
and Sweeney advanced base on passed
ball. Klopf went to first on balls, and so
did McHale, forcing Maunasau in. Rob-
erts sent fly down to Wright, and White
head scored after the ball was caught.
McHale stole second, and Klopf started
for home as soon as the ball was thrown
after Mac" The Angels tried to head
Klopf OFT, but their best effort was to
soak" him on the back with the ball,
de tailed. Peoples retired the side by
flying out to Hughes.
No more runs were made until the
sixth inning, when tie Sacramentos
made three and the Angels one. The
feature of this inning was Whitehead's
home run. Whitley" walked up to the
plate in his usual sleepy manner, and no.
body expected anything unusual-he
always saves his unusual performances
TOR occasions when men are on bases.
But this time he reversed the order of
things. Borchers 1ioated up beautiful
'coaXer," and Whitehead's big wagon
tongue collided with it like the explosion
OF a red-head. Well, it was out Of sight
that is, the ball was. 1t went over the
fence.
Los Angeles scored one in the sixth,
two in the seventh and one more in the
eighth, and that was all.
Borchers pitched a splendid game for
the visitors, and had IL not been for I'M
timely errors by the men behind him
the score would have been the other way.
Following are scorer Young's calcula-
tions on the game:
