ANYBODY CAN FARM,
But 1t Takes q Farmer to Make a Success

But 1t Takes q Farmer to Make a Success
of 1t.
So they can after fashion. Yet if
a success is made, it will only be done
by understanding how a very large
amount, at least, of the work must be
done. 1t may not be, and often is not,
good economy for the farmer to stop
his farm work and do all the odd jobs
that he will find necessary. Yet he
will not find the knowledge amiss if he
is a good gardener and horticulturist,
with a knowledge of varieties and how
to plant and cultivate, prune, graft,
bud and propagate.
He can know how to drain to avoid
washing; to measure so as to derive
the largest amount of benefit; to man.
age all kinds of stock-to feed, fatten,
select, breed and doctor when neces-
sary; to repair harness, gates, fences
and more or less machinery; in addi-
ton to this he must have a sufficient
knowledge of business to buy and sell
to good advantage. Taking all in
all, there is no calling in life that re-
quires a more varied knowledge and
demands a cooler, quicker Judgment.
with practical knowledge of the best
plan of managing, thai success
full farming. Some men may at
tempt to farm, the same as they
try other Ceilings in life, but they
usually stay at the bottom of the lad
der, whether they farm or whether
they follow some other calling. Men
that have made a failure of everything
they have ever tried are almost GER
tain at some time to conclude that
they can farm, when probably this will
prove fully as great a mistake as they
have made.
While it may not always be adj
visable for the farmers to do every
little job of repairing or outside work
that comes up, at the same time there
are SO many occasions when practical
knowledge of how and what to do can
be made profitable. And without this
knowledge considerable loss will often
be occasioned.
All who farm do not make success,
but this is certainly true Of all other
callings as well. And it is certain
many of the failures with farmers are
among that class who have failed in
|
other callings, and also 20 to farming
under the impression that anybody
can farm. These with no knowledge
of what constitutes . successful
farmer, or Of the different kinds Of
work that the farmer must know how
to do, are almost certain to make :
failure.
The farmer of all calliuas can AFFORD

Durrant's Examination.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25-The pre-
hmnary examination of Theodore
Durrant for the murder of. Minnie
Williams was resumed this morning.
Rev. John George Gibson was again
on the stand. The cross examination
by Attorney Dickinson for Durrant
plainly indicated the intention of the
defense to try to saddle the murder
upon the minister.
The day preceding tie finding of
the body of Blanche.Lamont, her aunt
received paper containing the rings
of Blanche. On the paper were writ
ten the names, George R. King and
Professor Schernstern, as if to throw
suspicion on them. Dickinson made
Gibson write these names. He COM
piled, but asked twice how to spell
Schernstern's name.
The parson was good witness. cool
and collected. The defense elected
nothing tangible against him. His
examination is now concluded.
Albert o. McElroy, aged 18 years,
testified that on Friday evening, April
18th, he saw man resembling Dur
rant waiting at the corner of Bartlett
and Twenty-second streets. A young
woman come along, and the man APP
preached her and tried to shield her
from the witness with his shoulders.
The pair went toward the church and
stood in front of the gate. Then the
witness crossed the lot back of the
church, and noticed a light in the
building. 1t moved from window to
window on the ground floor.
Bert Minner, who was with Nc,
Elroy at the time, corroborated the
latter's testimony.
DR.. Thomas Vogel. at whose house
the meeting of the Christian En-.
deavor Society was held the night of

testified that Durrant arrived at 9:3C

PERMISSION to wash his hands stating
that he had been out with the sig.
nal corps, and had then soiled his
hands.

in studying for his medical examina
ton.

The Big Steal.

The Gazette's special of the 25th
says that there is a great deal of par
tlsan spirit showing itself in Carson
over the examination of Jones, the ex-
Assistant Meter and Refiuer of the
Mint. 1t charges that one of the new
ly elected State officials has remark
ed that he could be drawn on for a
81, 1000 if Jones or any of his followers
were cinched. Itgives the following
proceedings of the examination:
"The examination opened up with
Hlrsch Harris, Meter and Refiner of
the Mint, on the stand, when the
United States District Attorney con-
tinued his direct examination of the
witness.
AT the opeeing of the examination
this morning United States District
Attorney Jones asked that the public
be admitted, but the motion was con-
tested by the defendants and Com
missioner Edwards ordered that the
examination be continued with clos
ed doors.
"The Mint record of the Meter and
Retiner's department for the years
1892 SO were produced, and it was
shown by Meter and Refner Harris
that there are seven instances where
there is no record in the books kept
by Jones specially for the purpose of
the metals used in combination melts,
thereby preventing the tracing of
bullion used in such melts. If rec
ord of these metals had been kept,
as is the custom in all Mlnts, the
bullion used could have been easily
traced.
at Is claimed that the absence of a
proper record shows designing inten-
ton on the part of Jones to prevent
the tracing of bullion sent to the
Mint to be refined
at is further shown by records that
entries made have been scratched and
changed.
at Is claimed by defendants that the
key spoked of yesterday was not
found in Jones desk, but in Harris
vault between two old books. The
rust on the key and heavy dust on the
books and key go to prove that the
latter had not been touched for a long
time. This was brought out on the
| cross examination of Harris.
Harris direct examination closed
at 1:3O, when defendants attorneys
took him. He was severely ques.
toned by Attorney Coffin about Mint
matters in general, and did not pr6ve
himself as well up in such matters as
did Inspector Mason yesterday. He
fioundered about a good deal in the
cross examination, and contradicted
himself in some important matters.
Harris was still under fire at the
Gazette's press hour"
