COOKING WHEAT FOR Uo--,.


Whether it ylll pay 10 COOK fool
for farm stock depends verv much
upon the kind of food and the cost o:
cooking. If whole wheat be fed dry
to horses, many Of the kernels will
not be crushed, or at least not finelz
masticated, and much grain will pass
through the animais un1ig ted. This

it some distance to the mill, pay

it home again over rough or muddy

Cooking adds much value even to
ground grain, because, the heat bursts
the tough capsule which incloses the
sta1c ch grains so that their substance
is readily soluble and digestible.
Soaking the wheat answers good
purpose, but the time it taxes will
often permit fermentation in summer,
and freezing in winter. Both the sour
| ing and the freezing wonld be avoidea
| by cooking the wheat in boiling water,
or with steam piped into tight barrels
or tanks.
A large iron kettle may be used, es-

which they manage the horses equally as
well as the regulars. They are also be-
coming very proficient in saber drill.
All work is done by the bugle. no verbal

HAD TO TAKE HIS OWN MEDICINE.
A Stockton Sport Put Up Job On a
Friend,
But the Friend Put Up Better One
On Him-Usual Result OF
Foot Race.

a Stockton barber of sportive proclivi-
ties went home from here last evening in
fighting mood. 1t is said he told friend
that if the latter should hear of someone
being killed he needn't be surprised.
On the same train that brought the
lather-and-shave sport here and took him
| back to the Slough City were G. G. Nor
ris, the professional sprinter, and another
man, and they were the cause of the bar
ber's wrath.
OF course foot-race was at the bottom
OF the affair, and the story, as related TO a
RECORD UNION reporter, was about like
this: The barber, who can run little
bit himself, went to a friend and offered
to bet him $500 that Morris could oeat
him (the barber) in q hundred-yard run.
OF course Morris could do it, but the
barber's proposition was. strangely
enough, accepted. He thought he had it
all liked for the sprinter TO win the SZoO,
but the person whom he expected TO
''dO up' was also in the deal with the
professional, and the barber was to be
the sufferer. 1t was agreed that the race
should be run III Sacramento, and the
men came over yesterday.
Inc race was run AT agricultural AK,
and it happened that Morris didn't win.
When he got within about six or eight
feet of the wire something appeared TO go
wrong with him and he came suddenly
TO a halt. The barber would have stopped,
if he could, but be couldn't, and over the
tape he went alone and won the race !
The foolish man who bet him that Morris
couldn't beat him raked down the stakes.
The barber went off by himself to re-
fleet little. Like actor John l.. sullivan,
ali he had TO say at first was, Leave me
alone and let me think Finally it
dawned upon him that in trying to do up
another man he was done up himself.
That was why the three men did not
ride and chat together going home, and
also ex plains the barber's remark that it
need not cause q surprise if someone
should be killed. He did not like his
own medicine.

THE Nevada City Transcript says:

We have already intimated that the intelli-
gent class OF people in tie valley who can see
beyond their own narrow self are in favor of
the resuscltatlon OF hydraulic mining. Ihls
fact was elected during short residence in
sacramento during the recent session of the
Legislature. Financial and commercial rea-
sons lmpel them TO adopt this course.
If that means anything, it means that
the people of the valley favor resumption
of hydraulicking because they will suffer
loss if they oppose it. 1t is without rea-
son and is little less than libelous. The
people of the valley are not SO purblind
that they can see only the possible dollar
before them. and lose sight of the actual
two dollars farther on. Moreover the peo-
pie ofthe valley have never made manifest
any willingness to have hydraulic min
Ing resumed without adequate and perfect
restraint 1t has been all the time simply
question of non-injury to rivers and
valley lands. These are permanencies
while mining is ephemeral, and no one
better understands that than the people of
the valley. If slickens did not come down
upon the valley and to the destruction
of the rivers, there would be no hydraulic
mining question at all, though the pro-
cess of mining with monitor went on in
every canyon and against every mountain
flank. 1t is because the dams that are
erected to restrain do not restrain the detri-
tus, that there is hydraulicking question.
It is because the dams to this date erected
and proposed to be constructed do not re-
stain the damaging material, and when
deserted, as they each must be in very
few years, they will decay and let down
the stored mass of debris and detritus
upon the valley lands, that the present.
protest is made. The people of the val
ley do see beyond their noses. They do
see the time just ahead, too, when these
brush and cobble dams, these non-perma-
nent structures, even such as may appa-
rently now restrain the debris, will mean
nothing but impending destruction to the
valley. Resuscitation of hydraulic min
ing under a dam system that does not
dam as originally intended by the advo-
Gates of restraint, is not and never will
be acquiesced in by the people of the
valley.

A Startling
Admission.
In New York City, for five con-
secutive years, the proportion
of Deaths from Consumption
has been three i'm every
Twenty Persons.

Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and
other diseases of similar character, so ter
rible III their results, occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful conSld-
Grafton for their prevention and cure, while
consumption receives scarcely thought
vet the number of their victims sinks into
insignihcance when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength, lose
color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia-
ton, or develop cough, with difficult
breathing, or henorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for a long time given in all such cases,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its nauseating taste has led
many practitioners, as well as the public at
large, to place their main reliance in DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t de-
serves early attention and will prove effect
ual not in everycase but III large percentage
of cases, and we believe that fully o8 pei
cent. of all cases of Consumption can, iftaken
in the early stages of the disease, be cured
with the Discovery" Dr.. Pierce does not
ask people to believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. Apamphlet has
been published having the names, addresses
and photographs of large number Of those

WASTED WATER POWER.

The Oroville Register says that from
5000 to 10000 horsepower runs to waste
in the Feather River that could be easily
utilized and ought to be. Road Com
missioner Maude, who has just returned
from sixty eight-mile tramp down the
Merced River, on which tour he took
attitudes and estimated grades frequently
in looking over a road route, declares
that thousands of horsepower runs to
waste in that stream that could be utilized
right down to the floor of the San Joaquin
Valley and would furnish cheap motive
power for a vast area of country.
1t is true that In many other California
sections wasted power, which is wasted
wealth, waits to be harnessed for the uses
of man, and that, too, right at the door of
the great valleys. Sacramento is the first
to utilize the water power at her door;
how long will it be before other localities
will improve upon theirs?
A first requisite is, of course, popula-
ton, which creates a demand for power
uses. But it is true the natural power
advantages of the State may be made a
means of attracting desirable population.
1t will not alone do il, but it is great
factor in the problem of peopling the
State. one that has been too long over
looked. With exemplification of the
practicability of transmitting motive
power by wire, and applying 1t by COM
pressed air, the possibility of making
California water power q potential means
for enlarged industries and for economy
in those now prosecuted comes very close
10 probability.
