tire ordinance also, but it is sleeping,
because wagons of narrow tires be-
longing in adjoining counties roll into
Placer and cut up the roads the wide
tires make, hence the Placerites do not
feel it to be just to enforce law upon
their own which the stranger may vio-
late with impunity. So it will be in
Riverside. There is wide-tire bill be-
fore the Legislature, and it has favor
able committee report. But the bill
simply gives the supervisors power to
pass ordinances on the subject. The
bill may as well pass as an educational
measure; were it obligatory, however,
there would be great virtue in it. 1t is
possible that under it some counties
may be encouraged to adopt the ordi-

A MAN OUT OF WORK.

MUSHROOM CULTURE.

factory Profits.
Will you tell us how to grow mush-
rooms and whether or not they are
profitable to grow? asks correspond
ent. One of the most profitable crops
for the outlay that can be grown; the
market is sure, because the supply
never equals the demand. Mushrooms
can be grown in any dark room or eel
lar where the temperature can be kept
at from so to 20 degrees. From some
old pasture procure good rich soil and
store it away. To every bushel of this
soil add two bushels of fresh horse
manure. Of this well-mixed compound
prepare bed, say four feet wide. Put
down a thin layer and pound it down
hard, and go on until you have bed
12 to IS inches thick. 1t soon becomes
pretty hot, but let the heat recede un-
til it is only IS or 80 degrees. Then
make holes, say a foot apart, and put
in, the spawn, two or three pieces as
large as walnut in each hole, Cover
the holes and press the soil solid and
smooth. Let the bed remain in this
condition about IL days; then cover the !
bed with 2 inches of fresh le,am, and
over this place OR 5 inches of hay
or straw, and the work is done. If the
is right in six or eight
weeks you may expect mushrooms.
The beds will continue bearing from;
20 to 80 days. After the first crop is
gathered, spread over the bed an inch
of fresh soil, moisten with warm water
and cover with hay as before. The
main conditions in mushroom growing
are proper and uniform temperature
and very rich soil. One pound of spawn
is sufficient for bed 2 by feet

Eject of Food ON Butter.

Carefully studied experiments in
feeding dairy cattle show that the kind
of food the cows consume has a pro-
nounced effect on the hardness of the
butter. So far as the experiments have
gone it appears ~ That gluten meal
tends to produce much softer quality
of butter than cornmeal or cottonseed
meal, and, other things being equal,
tends to lessen the churnability of the
butter fat. e. That silage produces a
much softer butter than does good hay,
but it is also favorable to the favor and
texture of the butter product. (3)
That cottonseed meal tends to produce
an unusually hard quality of butter,
and that cottonseed meal and gluten
meal might be used together with ex-
cellent results. Review.

A SABBATH WAKING.

This morning as lay in bed
heard the bells a ringing.
The silver chimes across the hills
"Glory to God" were singing.
My soul leaped up and scared away
With sudden rapture given:
''Ah poor are earthly aims" CRIED
Before the hopes of Heaven"
My easement looked out toward the east;
How still the day was breaking.
The COOL fresh air was in the room,
But not leaf was waking.
The redbird's sudden whistle clear.
A thousand singers timing
All nature woke; the sun rushed up;
And louder burst the Ginning
Up through the air below, around.
The exultant peals went flowing;
They filled all space, yet still the SOUND
Seemed ever, ever growing.
In one divine. ecStatic song,
All living things were meeting:
The woods, the stream, the vale, the hills,
GLORY to God" repeating
Oh! souls who only look for dross
Is there no higher caring?
Oil weary ones, worn out with life,
There's hope for your despairing.
Look upl the sun of Righteousness
The mist of death has riven.

Fair as it is-there'S Heaven!

How to Market string BEANS.

String beans should be gathered as
soon as the bean is about to form in
the pod, before it is hardly perceptible.
Do not allow them to remain on the
vines until coarse. 1t is also advisable
to see that they go into packages cool
and dry, and when expedient to spread
them out for short time do so. When
ready they should be packed in about
the same packages as peas, only this
rule should be observed, especially in
putting up wax beans, the beans
should be nicely and evenly placed in
layers on the bottom, sides and top of
packages. This gives them an attrac-
tive appearance which adds very ma
terially to their sale. Pack full and
keep out all specked or rusty BEANS
