WATER AND GOLD.
The Simple Process by Which Much Ere

The Simple Process by when IVA ucH 11e

1t is not generally known, even III
California, that millions of dollars are
annually taken from rude heaps OF base
looking quartz by the flowing OF water
over huge piles of broken rocks that con

of robbing the earth of its gold has now
been reduced to such Il fine point that the
gentle flow of water over the ore Sleans
it of its golden treasures, and TINS WORKS
well in cases where the old chiorlde ana
other methods are not so usefui.
The water used by the miners in bring

The cyanide process is as nolseiess anu

CASES OF CHOKING IN COWS
Advantages of tue Cash System Over
the Credit System in flaming.
Talk on Bees.

The following points are taken from
the January Bulletin, issued at Sparta.
Wis:
Growing and marketing berries sue
cessfully. requires business tact, good
taste, industry, honesty, determination
and a natural love for the work.
Business tact, in growing best fruits
at lowest cost, and in placing same on
good markets, in best condition.
Taste, in producing attractive fruits,
clean neat packages and arranged to
please the eye and invite the taste.
Industry, in doing that which ought to
be. done, at the right time and in the
best possible manner.
Honesty, in quality, measure and
packing on which reputation and sue
cess depend.
Determination, to overcome bug,
blight, frosts, drouth, short crops. low
prices and close competition.
None of these essentials can be omit
ted without loss, If not positive fail
ure.
Study quality of soil, location and
adaptation to your wants.
1t must be well drained. 1t should be
made rich and fertility maintained
with best fertilizers, at moderate cost.
None better than barnyard manure and
wood ashes.
Study markets and shipping facili-
ties.
It requires more tact to sell berries
than to grow them. Near markets are
safest and best.
Long shipments require extra care in
picking, packing and handling.
Study best varieties for your loca-
ton. In the north hardy plants are
essential. For long shipments firm va
rieties are necessary.
Study plant growth, enemies and rem
edies. The labor of years may be lost
If this is neglected.
Above all study yourself for on you
most depends. Rich lands, good mar
kets, best varieties avail not, If you are
a thoughtless, Indifferent grower.
1t is the safest to grow several vari-
cites, having something to sell at all
seasons.
If strawberries fail, raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries may succeed;
these gone, we still hope for blackber-
ries, grapes and other fruits.
Complete failure in a single variety
may come often; entire failure of many
varieties, seldom.
AS temporary business, fruit grow
Ing Is uncertain. AS a permanent bust
ness 1t is universally successful, when
well managed.
In 1t we find perfect blending of the
useful and the beautiful, pleasure I'M
known in most vocations.

THEY ARE BOLD WHEAT THIEVES
Stolen Grain Sod Back TO the Owner at
DAYTON.

Stolen Grain Sod Back TO the Owner at
Dayton.
On Saturday last a young man enter
ed the office of Hamilton & Rourke in
Dayton, says the Courier, and inquired
as to the wheat market. With a smile
that was child-like and bland, Mr..
Loundagin answered that the market
looked favorable for a rise, and that
wheat was quoted at 43 cents +. o. b.
The young man, who is Familiarity
known as AL. Brundage, answered that
he had 81 bushels of f. o. b. wheat
which he desired to sell, and would &C
cept that price. A check on Hamilton
& Rourke was drawn and given to
Brundage and the wheat taken to the
Jumbo warehouse. A closer examina-
ton of the sacks and the queer actions
of Brundage soon aroused the suspic-
ions of Agent Israel and Mr.. Lounda-
gin, who began to investigate, with the
result of discovering that their ware
house at Longs station, below Dayton,
had been entered and robbed of sever
al lots of wheat, among them being the
lot sold by Brundage.
A sharp lookout was kept by Mar
shall McCauley and Sheriff Knoblock
and on Monday about noon AL. Brund-
age and Adrian Stewart were arrested
as they were leaving town, on a charge
of grand larceny.
