SENSIBLE DAIRY ADVICE.

A writer in the National ,Stockmdn
gives the following timely and sensible
advice:
Don't neglect the COWS this busy sea-
son.
The spring bids fair to throw oat seed
ing, potato planting and the preparation
of corn ground all together.
But when milking time comes let one
man go to milk even if you are trying to
finish before night.
Cows are very methodical creatures,
and know when milking time comes al
most as we'll as if they were provided
with watch.
And when the mixer does not come
with milking time, they begin to grow
restless, and restless cow is losing
money for her owner.
And don't skimp the feed You may
have read this before, but it is just as true
now as when you read it last, and have
you followed it?
Don't say because you only have few
cows that you cannot give them the care
they deserve. l only have two COWS at
present, but last week they supplied a
family of three persons with milk, butter
and cream. and brought in 81 Al in cash
besides.
There is nothing exceptional about me
or my cows. You with your cows can do
just as we'll if you give them the proper
care.
Two dollars and forty-one cents is big
ger now than it used to be. 1t is harder
to get hold of, and when l see that my
two cows will bring me that amount if L
give them the proper care, Will try hard
to give them that care, for they will pay
better than tooling over great many
things that [ think L ought to do.
There is probably not one farm in a
thousand that has not at lnast one or two
cows on it.
But there are very many farms in every
thousand that keep COWS that are kept at
loss.
In which class is your farm?
1t Is not your cows fault il they do not
pay, for if it is not in them to pay they
should have no place on your farm.
But no matter what are the possibilities
Of your cows, ii you do not do your part
they will not do theirs.
So don't let US neglect the cows this
busy season.

work use either the well-decompo posed
stable manure or some complete fertilizer.
II the latter is used it is we'll to apply the
stable manure at least every second year.
Why do many fail with raspberries? Is
common question. Largely because
they do not secure the right soil at first,
and second because they do not maintain
its richness year by year.
After planting the roots, the canes that
shoot up this year will produce fruit next
season. Then they should be pruned out
to give the other new canes chance to
bear. If the new canes appear in great
quantities it will be necessary to pinch
off the ends in order to induce a growth
of laterals In this way we get canes
large enough to support themselves. On
some farms this work is done SO
successfully that no stakes or other sup
ports are required. The cost of making
supports for raspberry canes is quite IN
item, more SO than In grape culture. for
the new canes must be tied to the sup
ports every spring. This work of fasten-
ing the young canes to the stakes is quite
a serious undertaking in a large held,
and requires the labor of several men.
The advocates of supports for raspberry
canes are numerous, however, and they
adopt various systems. Some drive two
stakes into the ground around each root
and inclose the clump of canes in an or
binary barrel hoop. the hoop being
nailed to the stakes about a foot or two
feet from the ground.
Another way is to drive posts into the
ground along the line of rows and fasten
one or two strands of strong wire over
them, similar 10 grape supports. These
supports certainly keep the vines in posi-
ton and prevent them from running all
over the field, falling down after every
storm and soiling and whipping the ber-
ries. If the field is greatly exposed to
heavy storms, the results obtained from
stalking may be beneficial enough to pay
for the work.
Ev~ry fail the field canes need prun-
ing. When the fruits are all picked in
telligent primers should 60 over the field
and cut out all of the old canes close to
the ground. The canes that have just
fruited for the first time should be prnned
back either this fall or next spring by
shortening and heading back the leading
shoots. The laterals should be shortened
to about one-third their original length.
This not only makes the canes stocky,
but it makes the berries larger and supe-
ri0r in flavor. This pruning Is neg
| lected on many places, as it requires con-
siderable time and labor, and the berries
| consequently get smaller each year, and
! the canes longer and smaller in girth. AT
first sight it would appear that the land
was not rich enough and that more ma
nure would remedy matters, but gener-
ally little intelligent pruning and cut
ting back of the canes will do the most
good. Telegraph.

RAsPRERRIES.

Field culture of raspberries should not
be undertaken until the right soil is OBJ
tanned. Nature must supply one that is
moist, rich and well drained. The
farmer must prepare it by blowing, sub
soiling and narrowing, and then mixing
with it thoroughly decomposed stable
manure. A sol. thus prepared will pro-
duce raspberrles in abundance. The fer
tility must then be maintained year by
year by good top dressing. In this

FORAGING FOR FUNDS.
The Committee Of Eleven Gathering
in Coin.
They Will Meet Tomorrow to Prepare
for the Next Demonstration at
Metropolitan Temple.

The reform movement goes on and on,
and San Francisco's shady side is soon to
be exposed. Much is expected and more
is hoped for. All classes of citizens, ex-
cept few who fear the possible outcome,
are enthusiastic in the present agitation.
But it takes money to make war-even
peaceful war-and for that reason the
finance committee appointed by the COM
mittee of eleven has taken the field to for
age and gather in the needed coin. 1t has
been fairly successful thus far, but the ex-
act amount OF the contributions will not be
made known until tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock when a report will be presented
at meeting of the committee of eleven.
The subcommittee on the Rely funding
bill and the legislative investigating COM
mittee will report progress to the commit
tee of eleven tomorrow afternoon. The
last-nanied body will then formulate gem
eral report of the work done, which will be
laid before the mass-meeting in Metropoli-
tan Temple tomorrow night.
The Board of Trade of San Francisco, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Builders
Exchange have been requested to attend
the meeting, and the members of these
bodies have expressed themselves as favor
able to the movement, and they have prom
ised to be present-not as representative

and the especial favorite of the workmen
of the Union Iron Works. Keys is said to
be the only dog in the world that can
climb ships ladder, and that he can do
so is attested beyond dispute.
Ever since the Olympic began building
KEYS has lowered around the big ship and
has seemingly taken personal interest in
the driving of every rivet. Every morn

whistle sounds, returning when the meal
is finished and faithfully keeping his

men have taught Keys many tricks, and he
has learned to pick up the stray bolts,
nails and bits of iron that are always lying
around the yard and gather them into
little piles, which he seems to survey with
great satisfaction.
Henry T. Scott says that Keys re-
Gently discovered a valuable tools that
had been lost in some of the dark recesses
of a big cruiser and brought it out and
laid it at the feet of the master mechanic.
Other instances of the remarkable intel
lgence of the dog are recounted by the
workmen who deeply grieve over the ac-
cident that has happened to their pet.
Some of his admirers embroidered a
blanket for him, and this gaudy raiment he
wore even while ON duty in the shipyard.
After the accident yesterday Keys was
picked up off the hard floor where he fell,
tenderly wrapped in blanket and taken
to the station where he was placed upon a
soft quilt, and made as comfortable as pos
sible.
Sergeant Bennett was much affected over
Keys injuries and could hardly restrain
his tears. The workmen of the Union Iron
Works say that Keys shall have the largest
funeral that any dog ever had if he dies.

CHICKENS WOULD NOT LAY.
They We're Cooped Too Near Dismal
GraYeStOnes.
GioVanni's Fiery Steed Converted Into
a Very Ordinary Hack
Horse.

The suit of Tomasso Massini in Justice
CarrolPs court against Frank Giovanni
for $3.50 for services rendered brought forth
one-half of the Latin quarter on Wednes-
day. The plaintiff claims that he worked
for the defendant for sixty-three days,
both at his stable and on ranch, and even
descended to the mental service of clean
ing and caring for GioyaninTs racehorse.
Before the suit was over it transpired that
the ranch had dwindled to few chicken
coops near the Italian cemetery, and the
racehorse had been metamorphosed from
Bucephalus into an ordinary plug, whose
trot resembled nothing more than the I'M
even strides of dray horse.
The plaintiff swore on the stand that he
had been hired to go out to the Italian
cemetery to manage the defendants
ranch. When he got there he found
nothing but the ocean to see on one side
and gloomy gravestones on the other. He
was told by the defendant to fence in q
certain portion of the ground and that
hundreds of chickens would be sent out
and good business started. The fence
was erected, the coops were sent out, the
chickens even put in an appearance, but
alas, the eggs came not. Masslnl testified
that he could himself eat at his regular
meals all the eggs that were laid, for the
ocean inspired the hens with voracious
appetites, but killed their desire to lay.
firing of the improbable business Mas
SIM resolved to desert the job of superin-
tending hens which laid not, and, being
refused wages, sued for his money.
Giovanni on the other hand swore that
he and the plaintiff embarked in the
chicken business as partners. He was to
furnish the money to run the business, the
chickens, and Massini was to wait for the
hens to lay. He could not help it if the
eggs did not fall from the hens like leaves
from the trees in September. He could
not make them grow. Probably the graves
had dampening effect on the hens.
A large number of witnesses gave evil
dence on either side. Justice Carroll was
much in doubt on the merits of the case,
and, as the lawyers desired to hand in
briefs. continued the case.
