The new bordeaux mixture, it is
claimed, has the advantage over thar
famous mixture in being less injurious
to foliage, less liable to be washed away
by rains and less likely to choke the
nozzle Of the spraying machine. The
new formula is as follows: Quicklinc,
4 pounds q ounces; molasseS, t pounds
6 ounces; sulphate Of copper, I pounds
6 ounces; water, % gallons.
The essential difference between the
new and old formulas, us explained ly
American Agricultural, is the presence
Of the molasSes. which has Il greater III
fiuence than would at first be expected.
The prescription, rs given by M. Per
ret, is to add the mOlasses to l3 gallons
Of water, then slack the lime and add
AZ gallons of water to form Il milk Of
lime. Pour this slowly into the sweet
ened water, stirring briskly in order to
mix intimately. Next, in third (wood-
en- vessel dissolve the bluestone and
pour this into the previous mixture,
stirring we'll. In this blending of mate
rails chemica, changes are taking place.
When the milk of lime and sweetened
solution are ultimately mixed together,
then sacchurate of lime is formed. Next,
when to this IL added the solution of
ulpllate Of copper, Il double decomposi-
tion takes place, sulphate Of lime is
formed on the one hand and soluble sac
charate Of copper ON the other. This
saccharate Of copper is only formed i'll
presence of III excess Of lime. and it,
formation is indicated by the m~iXtur"
assuming II beautiful groenish tilI"c,
Thus the mixture j. rendered alkaline
and the acid n~eutraliHed by the lime.

Among other remarks made in regard
to field grasses at Il meeting Of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture, Senator
James Shearer said: The almost COM
plete failure of common tame grasses
during the last dry season sets us to
casting about for Il substitute. AS Il sub
stltute for tame grass we find millrt
very good. Two tons Of good hay and if
thrashed Is to % bushels of seed per
acre is a common yield, while Il crop of
corn will do better after it than after
corn, but we would especially recon-
mend it for Il second crop, instead of
having our small grain land lying idle
half the season and growing to weeds.
1t can be put in much better condition
for a crop next season by blowing as
soon as possible after the small grain is
harvested and sowing with millet. Last
year through dry weather and heat it
lived, ready to start with the first fall
showers, and just before frost one-half
a ton to two tons per acre of good cattle
hay was cut, leaving enough stubble Oh
the ground to prevent soil blowing-an
important item-for in many localities
the drought resisting advantages of fall
blowing cannot be reaped, at least ON
upland, for fear of soil blowing i'll the
spring. BY sowing at different times,
as needed, millet will make IL substi-
tute for pasture grass passable in quail
lty and bountiful in quantity from the
first heat of summer until first frost.

The BIC CHICKEN RANCH,
Largest Poultry Farm in the
West to Be Located Near
San Francisco.
Expect to Market &C, 900 Fowls and
100000 Eggs Annually, Begin
ming in November.

There is soon to be established in the
vicinity of San Francisco poultry farm
which, when operated to it's full capacity,
will be calculated to put upon the market
10000 broilers and 1000, 600 eggs annually.
The industry is to be conducted by a
company forming to be known as the Cali
fornia Poultry Company. Among the in
corporators are William McCracken of 9
Lick place, Homer SAKE, fancy livestock
dealer, and J. A. Finch of Washington, D.
c., who recently came to the coast to en-
gage In the business. He will be the gen.
eral manager of the company. 1t will
have a capital stock of $25, 900. The farm,
which is to be located near Petaluma or
Napa, will begin operations November 1,
and the first chickens will be put on the
market the first of January. During the
first year 10000 fowls will be marketed,
&c, 900 the second and the third year; when
the full capacity of the plant is reached,
80 900 chickens will be marketed.
The plant OF the new industry will con-
sist of an incubator-house 20x34 feet, from
either side of which will extend a wing 40x
125 feet, to be known as the. boiler-houses,
and a feed and store house 2Sx50 feet and
two stories high. The rest of the farm,
which is to be of forty acres. will be de-
voted to breeding houses and pens for the
fowls which lay the eggs for the incubator
and for the market The breeding pens,
in which are kept solely the hens which
lay the eggs for the incubators, will be 18x
700 feet, divided into sections 18x20 with
an out-of-door court 20x200 feet.
The building will occupy about quarter
of the farm, aside from that occupied by
the main buildings, and the rest will be
devoted to pens and courts similar to the
breeding pens, in which the fowls which
lay for the market will be kept. Each pen
accommodates thirty hens, making total
of 900 laying for the incubators and 10000
laying for the market. These latter as
stated, furnish an output of 100000 eggs
The eggs are to be Matched in two NAM
moth incubators OF capacity of 2040 eggs
each.
The organizers of the company believe
the industry will develop enormous pro-
portions within few years.

VISITORS FROM FRANCE,
Marquis de NiColay and Comte
d'HunolStein and La
dies Here.
They Are Trying to See All Of Amer
ica'S Show Places In a Short
Two Months.

Comte and Comtesse Felis d'Hunolstein
and Marquis and Marquise de Nicolay of
Paris, France, are staying at the Palace
The gentlemen are cousins, and six weeks
ago they left the French capital with their
wives for two months tour of this coun-
try. They have seen Niagara, many East
ern cities, have been in Canada, and ar
rived from the north yesterday morning
San Francisco will be given three or four
days, the Yosemite may be visited, and
then the visitors will hurry for home stop
ping en- route maybe long enough to view
the Mormon Temple and the great Salt
Lake.
The ladies of the party speak English
very much better than the men. In fact,
the Marquis does not understand a word,
but sits silently by while the Comte, the
spokesman of the party, endeavors to
make his wants known, and succeeds
pretty well, too, in spite of the laughingly
made but still embarrassing comments of
his wife and cousin-in-law upon his gram
mar.
Comtesse d'Hunolstein is blonde, petite
and vivacious, while her cousin, the Mar
quise, is a handsome brunette of stately
m1en. Both ladies express themselves as
charmed with the country, though they
scdrcely approve OF the 'nlmSy curtains In
the sleeper sections" and can scarcely con-
quer their repugnance to the colored serv-
ants in the dining-cars.
1--WE were especially delighted" said the
Marquise yesterday, with the mountain
scenery between here and Portland-the
Siskiyou Mountains, / think, you call
them. They were grand. And the Sacra-
mento River-we crossed it sixteen, seven
teen times, / think. We saw Castle Crags,
the cliffs piercing into the sky. They were
beautiful"
Sunday the visitors spent in resting
after their journey, merely riding to the
Cliff for look at the seals. They asked
many questions about the Yosemite Valley,
and expressed great desire to view its
wonders, but were fearful that the trip
would take too much time.

ONE RAILROAD VICTORY,
A Demurrer in the Robinson
Suits OverruIed byJudge
SanderSon.
CONSPIRACY COMPLAINT VALID.
Show They We're Bona-Fide
Patrons.

Judge Sanderson of the Superior Court
handed down an important decision in
the Robinson cases yesterday, overruling
a demurrer to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company's complaint against W. H.
Robinson, Leo s. Robinson, Thomas D.
Poole, c. W. Bassett, C. H. Loomis, Aaron
Bretz, w. N. Griswold and Frederick
Hitler.
The railroad company charged these men
with conspiracy, alleging that they had
not had any real occasion to stop over at
the times and places specified in their 4S4
suits for damages and that they courted
every opportunity of being put off the
trains so that they could have grounds for
litigation. To this the defendants de-
INJURED, claiming that the facts stated did
not constitute a sufficient cause of action.
The demurrer was argued six weeks ago,
Thomas V. Gator appearing for the defend
ants, and it is this demurrer that has been
Overruled.
The result of Judge Sanderson's action
will merely be that the case must go to
trial, instead of being dismissed, as it
stands. Mr.. Robinson says that he antici-
pated this result, and that the overruling
of the demurrer is of little consequence.
In regard to the Southern Pacific Com
pany's contention that the defendants
were not bona-fde passengers, nor ticket
holders in good faith, and that their only
object in stopping over at Oakland on the
way to Alameda was to lay foundation
for the SUITS Judge Sanderson presents an
opinion which, if adhered to in the Su-
perior and Supreme courts will be gen
eral defeat of the many damage suits pend
ing against the company. The Judge says:
fit can be shown that the defendants were
not ticket-holders in good faith that they had
no occasion to stop off except for the sole pur-
pose of laying foundation for suit to collect
statutory penalty, then | do not think they
could maintain their actions, and, therefore,
in my judgment, the bill here states proper
cause of action, and is one which court of
equity should entertain with view of settling
and determining all these claims in one action.
1t follows from the foregoing that the de-
murrer to the bill must be overruled, and the
motion to dissolve the temporary injunction
heretofore issued herein should be denied.
Mr.. Robinson says he is ready to 90 on
with the case, and the trial will probably
be taken up this week.

AN OLD LADY's PROPERTY.
Serious Accusations Regarding the Dis
position of Drugstore.

Serious Accusations Regarding the Dis
position of a Drugstore.
A rather sensational suit was filed in the
Justices Court yesterday by Mrs. M. O..
Valkenburg, an elderly lady, against L..
Thai, Julius Thai, Phillip Thai and Eloise
Thai. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff was the proprietress of a drug
store in this City and that on May % of
this year the defendants conspired to de-
fraud and succeeded in defrauding her out
of the property.
L. Thai is the father of the other defend
ants and it is claimed that he gave to Mrs.
Valkenburg a note for $500. Meantime,
the old lady claims, she had announced
her willingness to dispose of one-half in
terest in the drugstore. The defendants
combining, she says. got possession of the
property on verbal promise to pay
$500, but after thev were ensconsed in the
premises they refused to pay her one cent.
When recently she made a demand for the
balance of the money the Thals told her
that they had disposed of the property and
had nothing more to do with it.
Mrs. Valkenburg's claim is waived with
the exception of $299 49,, to bring the action
within the jurisdiction of the Justices
Court.

FOR ITALIAN SCHOOLS.
A Ball Given for Their Benefit in Carl
ba1di Hall.

L.
A ball was given Saturday night in the
Garibaldina Hall on Broadway for the
benefit of the Italian schools of San Fran
cisco.
1t was quite a family ball. The young
people who attend the schools patronized
it largely themselves and apparently took
their fathers and mothers, as well as their
grown-up brothers and sisters along.
There was brass band to the strains of
which the young people danced with great
satisfaction during the early part of the
evening. AS the night wore on they re-
tired.
The majority of the grown-up people
were fathers and mothers, and they seemed
to find more satisfaction in watching the
children than in dancing themselves.
The ball was quite success but, it was
not known last night to how large an ex-
tent the schools had benefited by the en-
tertainment, as most of the tickets were
sold beforehand by the members of the
colony interested in the schools.
The following were the managers: DR..
G. Pescia, A. Devincenzi A. Grella.
The patrons of the ball were the Italian
school committee, which consists of DR.. T.
Rotuanzi, president; G.. Talloni, vice. presi-
dent; L. Tore, treasurer; W. Monti, sec
retary; V. Tomanvich, G. Crespi, DR.. O..

CHEAPEN|NG GRAIN BAGS,
San Quentin Made Jute Sacks
Now Sell for $4 20 a
Hundred.
Joseph Cook, a Former Police Court
Clerk, Seeks His Release on
Parole.

The price of prison-made grain bags has
been reduced to $4 20 hundred. The cut
was made at a special meeting of the
Board of State Prison Directors, held in
Chairman De- Pue's office in this City
Saturday night, after the boards return
from San Quentin.
At the new rate the State is underselling
the dealers in imported bags from Is to 80
cents hundred. To hold their business
the dealers will have to meet the cut and
it is just possible that the present reduc.
ton is but the forerunner of merry war,
by which the husbandman will profit.
The State now has on hand many thou
sand of the prison made bags. Those on
hand, owing to the high price of iute at
the time they were made, cost 81 sc to
manufacture. The cost per hundred now,
however, is only 81 Is, so that, although
there is apparently a considerable loss in
selling them at 81 co. that loss has been
suffered long ago from the shrinkage in
value and is not present loss due to the
reduction in price.
The only reason which induced the
directors to keep the price of their bags as
high as So for so long a time was the fear
that in the case of a lack in the supply
corners might be formed end the farmers
made to suffer. AT the beginning of the
season the prospects were that at least
5000, 600 bags would be needed more than
could be possibly supplied. Injuries to the
growing crop from rust and wind have
rendered any shortage in the supply OF
bags most unlikely.
1--WE have reduced the price of bags"
said Director Neff yesterday, "for the same
reason that we kept it high for SO long-to
benefit the ranchers. We feared at the be-
ginning of the season that com bination
of dealers would be formed to make the
ranchers pay extraordinary prices. For
that reason we kept our stock
reason, when the price of Calcutta
bags dropped we fixed the price of
ours II or Is cents higher. Now, how
ever, we are satisfied that there is nothing
to fear from combinations, and in order to
give the farmer cheap bags we have re-
duced the price as low as we can."
The board at its next meeting, which
will be held at Folsom on Saturday, will
consider seventeen applications for pardon
and release on parole. Among the appli-
cants Is Joseph Cook, former clerk of the
Police Court in this City. Confinement

assigned to light, clerical work, he is fire.

himself believes he has not long to live and
wishes at least to die without the walls of

San Quentin as well as Folsom has within
its walls an asplrant for literary honors
who has written a novel. The production
points the moral, "Be sure your sin will
find you out" The authors name is Mil

J. A. CLAYTON rs BETTER.
His Arm Was Amputated at the Shoui-
der in a Most Successful Manner
Yesterday.

A successful operation was performed on
Banker James A. Clayton of San Jose IN
st. Mary's Hospital Sunday. His left
arm was amputated at the shoulder and
the patient is doing well.
About two years ago Mr.. Clayton was
driving and his horse took fright at pass
ing car. He was brought up with jerk
and the driver struck his elbow severely
against the back seat. A malignant
growth formed and gradually spread up
the arm. Shortly after this Mr.. Clayton
broke his left arm, and, as it was badly set,
otter complications arose which finally
resulted in a disease of the bone, which, if
not checked, would spread all over the
system.
In order to prevent the spread of the
disease it was determined to take off Mr..
CIayton's arm at the left shoulder. The
operating surgeon was DR.. Walter s.
Thorne, who was assisted by DR.. Luke
Robinson, DR.. ]. S. Morse and DR.. T. E.
Bailey,
