John Leone was arrested yesterday by
Officer Richardson for being drunk.

he is now behind the bars enhancing the
appearance of the drunk cell, instead of
decorating slab in the morgue.
Aoout noon yesterday Leone came rid
ing a horse along First street and at

by the bride and held him off the track
until the train had passed. Leone was
so drunk that he was unable to manage
the steed. and the horse jumped in front
of a cable car just as it was starting. Tbe
fiery steed and its boozy rider were
knocked about ten feet by the collision.
Officer Richardson was on the front of
the dummy. and he at once went to the
aid of the PROSTATE man, whom he placed
under arrest. Leone's right ankle was
severely sprsined by his fall. When he

T.. W. Fox of the Fowler Cycle COM

models fornext year and to make arrange
ments for the delivery of wheels with the
firm whose material he handles. There
are other rumors in regard to his quiet
going, and one of the best authenticated
is that he is going to be married.
The Tuttle Mercantile company will
handle the Syracuse bicycle in this local

wheels to supply the demand for ibis
popular make.

racing team is as follows: W. A. Terrill,
San Jose; William Hamilton, Denver: II.
f.. McCrea. Fritz Lacy, Los Angeles, and
G. S. Wells of San Jose as manager. Their
mounts will be Syracuse wheels. Wells
and Terrill are already in st. Louis, and
| the other members of the team join the
circuit at Denver. Their trainer will be
| Frank Foster, late of the Falcon team,
and he will winter them in California
| and probably send them for records.
Los Angeles holds the national meet on
| November Dist and 22d, and Santa Ana
! gets the same event on Novem Der 30th.
The big men of all the great racing teams
| will contest, and our own McCrea and

1t is now almost certain that the great
racing teams which are to he kept intact
will spend the winter in California. and
will keep in condition all the year round.
The climate of our state is such as to
allow them to perform this feat, which
would be impossible in the raw climate

Billions in Manure.

Farmers Bulletin No. 81, issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, is compact little monograph
ON the value and proper management
of barnyard manure. If the fertilizing
constituents of the manure produced by
all the farm animals of the United
States are estimated at their market
value the total amount foots up to the
enormous sum of more than two bill
lions of dollars in year. This esti-
mate does not mean that the manure
produced by our farm animals is act
ually worth that amount of money to
the farmers, for much of it is actually
thrown away, and much of it is care
lessly applied 1t means, however, that
the phosphoric acid, potash and nitro
gen which this product contains would
cost that much if it was purchased. 1t
ought to be borne in mind, too, that if
this valuation is too high, it takes no
account of the use of manure in i'm
proving the mechanical condition and
the drainage of the soil, which is al
most as important as its actual fer
tilizing value. Professor Roberts of
Cornell University thinks that $3.50 is
a conservative estimate of the value of
the manure produced during seven win
ter months ON small farm which car
ries four horses, twenty COWS, fifty
sheep, and ten pigs. At least one third
of this is lost, which would mean for
the whole country waste of nearly
$500. 000,0 900. This little pamphlet of
thirty odd pages gives plain directions
for protecting this valuable product
from loss by fermentation OF by the
teaching out of it's soluble constituents.
1t also explains the rational methods
of preserving and applying manure,
and when taken in connection with
Bulletin No. 16 on Leguminos Plants for
Green Manuring and Feeding, it ought
to prove real assistance to every intel
ligent farmer or gardener who will
give it an attentive reading.
