Fresh Fish for Poultry.

Those of our poultry raisers residing
on or near the sea coast, if they have
not already learned from experience
whether the following will bear out it's
authenticity, may find in it help in the
way of the feed question for them. 1t is
said that fresh fish are devoured as raw
enously by fowls as by cats, especially if
boiled before being fed. The increased
supply of eggs resulting from such food
is surprising to one who had never before
tried it. Care should be exercised that
they are not feed too continuously of
such food as fishy flavor will be i'm
paired to the egg. Two or three times a
week is often enough. For young ducks
and chickens a daily supply may be
used with benefit.
One great advantage in portions of
Maryland, Virginia, and other States on
the seacoast as locations for poultry
farms consists in the ease with which
greaG quantities of cheap fish can be
produced by netting. If this be done in
Maryland and Virginia W by not Florida?

Egg Tests.

A good egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are glossy and smooth of
she'll
A fresh egg has lime-like surface to
it's shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
Eggs packed in bran for a long time
smell and taste musty.
After an egg has laid day or more
the shell comes off easily when boiled.
Thin shells are caused by lack of
gravel, ETC., among the hens laying eggs.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from the
kettle.
Eggs which have been packed in lime
look stained, and show the action of the
lime on the surface.
If an egg is clean and golden in APP
pearance when held to the light, it is
good; if dark or spotted it is bad.

but the test is dangerous one.
With the aid of the hands, piece Of
paper rolled in funnel shape and held to-
wards the light, the human eye can look
through an egg shell and all.
Many devices have been tested to keep
eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is
kept, the better for the egg and the one
that eats it.-Rural Gentleman.

Last, but not least, one must be finan-
cially equipped. This is important.
You cannot build houses on a promise to
pay, and you cannot buy stock on credit
or feed them on air. Commence with
sufficient capital to tide over the expert
mental stage. No other business we
know of can be successfully conducted
without capital to begin with, and the
poultry business is no exception to the
rule.
Remember that successful poultry
farms are not made in day; bnt are
the outcome of small beginning.
When this course is followed, success is
sure. r w. Amsden, in Poultry.

Profitable Poultry Farming.

Poultry Farming" has been sent us for
review. THE author, M. K. Boyer, is
well-known writer on poultry subjects,
but his present work is not up to stand
ard. About twenty pages are new; the
remainder is a rehash of what has been
printed over and over again. While the
price, IS cents, does not lead us to ex-
pect very much, yet we are disappointed,
ON the whole. Farm Poultry or the
Poultry Keeper contains each month
much more information than two such
books.
In some things we agree with Mr..
Boyer, but when he denounces thous-
and-hen farm as roftable and rec
ommends small farms or poultry keep
ing as an adjunct, we can only say that
from his standpoint he may be correct,
but he has not visited Florida where
person can care for twice the number
of fowls with what he can in a cold
country.
We have this advantage over the
North country, when dressed poultry,
broilers and eggs command the highest
price our fiocks are doing their best, and
our market is right at home. When
Eastern cities are paying so and rs cents
a pound for broilers april, May and
June), we can take advantage of this
and ship by steamer to New York as
cheaply as they can from the great
broiler centers in New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts.
Mr.. Boyer says: "But every man is
not adapted to poultry work. There is
no question about that. Is man with
taste and ability for a profession cut
out to steer plOw? Is a man who is
pillow farmer in position to take up
physics? We all have our talents. Yet
[ believe there are more men possessing
talents for the poultry business than for
any other occupation. What are the re-
quirements? In the first place one must
with poultry. Lazy people only meet
with failures. Timid people cannot
make hens lay. One must study egg
problems as broker watches the rise
and fall in stocks. Second, one must
have pluck. "Pluck" seems a large
word for the hen business, but it GER
tainly is not too large for the risk to be
run"
In this, Mr.. Boyer strikes the right
tune. If person engages in merchan-
dising, and does not succeed the first
year, does he offer his stock for sale at
the end of twelve months and give up in
disgust? No; but it is frequently the
case with those who start out to make
poultry keeping business. The first,
second, and even the third year is often
school, in which they are only making
beginning. To give up then is just so
much time wasted.
We say most emphatically, if you do
not possess pluck, and lots of it, do not
commence, for there are lots of discour-
agements in all branches, and you will
never rise above them. The experienced
have them to meet mot as many, of
course), and, becoming gradually &C
customed to them, do not find them so
hard to bear.
To be successful, one must have a
fOndness for the work. He must be in

The statement was published yesterday
in a Stockton paper that p. Bigelow. a
newspaper reporter, and Miss Eva Evans,
daughter of Chris. Evans, had been Sc
cretly married, and started for Sacra-
mento on their wedding tour, and the
story was republished here last evening.
Mr.. Bigelow and Miss Evans were seen
last evening and they both fatty contra
dicted the story. "I's absurd" said the
former. "Ive been married for ten
years, and tomorrow Miss Evans goes TO
visit my wife. She has merely been on a
visit to Folsom prison, to consult with
George Sontag in regard to his new trial
Asa friend of her mother, I acted as her
escort, Miss Evans stopped with Warden
Aull's family while there, and at the res
idence of a well-known lady while in this

Miss Evans is girl of apparently six
teen years of age, was quietly dressed,
and appeared to be of fair intelligence.
She said she hoped the published story
would not find its way to her home in

be punished for contempt of court for an
expression used by him on Friday last
while testifying.
The court held a session last evening,
and 5. j. Holtzinger and DR.. C. B. Mich
els were examined. In answer to ques-
ton by General Hart as to whether he
was on speaking terms with Holtzinger
at the time the latter testified the doctor
had said Palmer was not crazy, the wit
ness replied that he had not been on
speaking terms with Holtzinger since he
published lie about him in his paper
Judge Prewett said he would take that
answer under advisement till to-day, as
well as the doctors answer last Friday,
on the question of contempt of court.

COLGAN TO HART.
The Controllers Answer to the Attor.
ney-General's Complaint.

The Controllers Answer to the Attor-
ney-General's Complaint.
The State Controller filed document
in the County Clerks Office in San Fran
cisco yesterday which shows that he does
not agree with Attorney General Hart in
reference to the scope of an Act of the
Legislature. Hart filed a complaint the
other day, in which he alleged that, I'M
der an Act of the Legislature, he compro-
missed for about ST., eco several suits
brought against Harbor Commissioners
and their bondsmen TO recover a much
larger sum belonging to the State that
had been EN- bezzled by employees of the
board. Hart represented that he had
failed TO pay the money to the Controller
because the latter was in doubt as to
whether it should be used to swell the
HarDor Commissioners.
He declared that the only object of the
suit was TO determine this question.
The document filed by Controller Col
gan is in the nature of an answer to the
complaint, and contains a denial of the
Attorney-General's assertion. Colgan
declares that the Act lof the Legislature
did not authorize Hart to settle with any
one of the defendants, on the payment oil
what he considered a proportion OF the
deficiency. He denies that any one Of
those suits was compromised, and alleges
that the suits are still pending and have
never been settled, notwithstanding the
fact that Hart has collected small pro-
portion of the money due. He asserts
that Harris conduct was unauthorized
and that his acts were void.
Colgap further declares that he has
never been in doubt as to what he should

BY So Doing Mrs. Treichler May Get
Her Alimony.
The case of E. B. Trechler VS.. Henry
Treichler was heard before Judge Catlin
yesterday on proceeding to compel the
defendant to pay $50 alimony, granted to
the plaintiff some time ago.
1t appears that Mrs. Treichler had an
idea, while the trial for divorce was pend
ing, that Treichler intended to put his
property out of his hands, and thus pre-
vent her from obtaining alimony, so she
filed homestead on the Mechanics Ex-
change property on | street, which be-
longed to him. AS they did not live at
the Exchange, the homestead was illegal,
and as the defendant claimed that on ac-
count of it he could not raise the alimony
allowance the Judge ordered her to re-
lease the homestead, and allowed her
$3.50 attorneys fees.

CRUELTY TO A CHILD.

People Complaining of the Case of an
Organ-Grinder.
Many citizens express themselves in
favor of the arrest of the organ-grinder
who perambulates the streets with an
organ in cart, accompanied by child
who beats the tamborine and collects the
coin. Judging from their expressions, it
is the old story of the padrone and the
waif-otten stolen and always abused
which became such an evil in New ork
and other Eastern cities that the strong
arm of the law was invoked to break up
the system.

SHIP IN A BLAZE
A Wave Swept Her Deck and the Fire
Disappeared.


BALTIMORE, May 26.-The remainer of
the great Russian exhibit for the Worlds
Fair has arrived at last. 1t came in the
British steamship Wivenhoe, Captain R. D.
Clark, which left Hamburg on April 26.
The exhibit is packed in 231 cases and
packages and will be shipped to Chicago at
once over the Baltimore & Ohio road.
Captatain Clark relates an experience
of the voyage which ne does not care to
have repeated. He says that among the
Russian exhibits were ten cases OF chemi-
Gals, consigned to Queen & Co., of Phila-
delphia, from Joseph Reckerman & Co.. +,
Hamburg. The notice on the top Of each
case stated that they were not dangerous
so they were placed on deck.
On the third day out from Cardiff, at
which port the Wivenhoe stopped for coal,
a gale sprung up and ragged throughout
the night. AS he was going aft about
daybreak he was astounded to see the
whole afterpart of his ship one solid mass
OF fire. Flames leaped from the decks and
apparently from the hold and swept the
towering masts. Both sea and storm at
the time were very violent. Captain
Clark felt that his craft was doomed
Just then a tremendous wave struck the
Wivenhoe throwing her on her beam ends.
Darkness also took possession of the deck
the leaping flames had disappeared.
A hasty examination was made to see
Ii the hold was on fire, but it was not, nor
was there q sign of the ten iron-bound
cases that were shipped at Hamburg. The
bills of lading were gotten out to see what
they had contained, and to the shippers
establishment he learned from them that
he had been carrying Natrium metallic,
or, as it is commonly known metal sodi-
UNI, chemical used by photographers
and which burns when exposed to air and
water. The cases had been carried over
board into the boiling sea.

STATE PRlsoN HEARINe.
DR. Fox Tangled Up Over the Hospital
Record.

DR. Fox Tangled Up Over the Hospital
Record.
At the hearing of the special prison
investigating committee yesterday the
chief witness of the day was the sus-
pended physician of the prison, DR. Fox.
He got all tangled up over the hospital
records, and every time he was con-
fronted by one it was to discover that
he had testified the wrong way. The
double headed item about poor Martin
Culloo, part of which was written, it is
generally believed, long time after the
other part, caused him tremendous
lot of trouble to explain away. He first
swore that he himself had put in the
second item regarding the "valvular
disease of he heart" a disease created
to explain away Culloo's sudden death,
but when confronted with the item in
another hand he remembered that he
had ordered Dwight Speere, the convict
hospital steward, to write it. The
latter, by the way, declares that DR. Fox
wrote it.
DR. Fox did all he could to belittle the
cases which have been proven against
Chamberlain and himself, but he was
forced to admit that there is an unused
ward in the prison, adjacent to the
hospital and built expressly for cases
demanding isolation. He admitted that
it would have been better to put Smith
and Jones and others into that careful
hidden ward than to dump them, as
was done, in the damp and noisome
west end.
