FOR RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS
Another Arrest 1ade in Connection With the
Todd Robbery

Another arrest was made yesterday in
connection with the recent robbery 1l
x-Policeman j. d. Todd on Macy street
near Alameda the latter part of July.
Todd was held up and relieved of his val
uables by two men with whom he had
scuffie, being badly beaten up.
Officer Talamantes a few days ago ar
rested Francisco Ballestero on u
charge of being one of Todds s assailants,
and yesterday lodged Manuel Reyes IN
the city Jail to answer for receiving stol-
en- property
1t is said that Reyes stood near and
saw the two men assault Todd. and from
them received a gold ring which had
been taken from their victim. The ring
was pawned in a Spring street shop by
Reyes, who hurriedly left the city, tell
ing friend that he was afraid to stay,
as Talamantes was after him. Sheriff
Nichols arrested Reyes at Santa Ana,
from where Talamantes brought him to
this city.
The prisoner was arraigned in the po-
lice court yesterday afternoon. and ex
animation of the case was set for August
18th. He is charged with having
bought and received stolen property

How to Oct Good Crops

Los ANGELES, Cal. Aug 8, 1896.
Agricultural Editor The Herald
Please tell me how to proceed to get
the best results from my orange and
lemon trees and tomato vines They
grow luxuriantly but bear very light
crops. | have used stable manure and
fertilizer on them but they produce very
little fruit. The fertilizer contains a
very small per cent of potash; the man
ufacturer told me the city water con-
tained enough potash to answer all pur-
poses. | think my trees need potash as
the ground where my orchard is was
formerly vineyard.
Will you be kind enough to tell me
what you think about it? T. r.
Undoubtedly your garden needs pot
ash as much as it did nitrates and phos-
pilates; at least nearly all lands in
Southern California have been found to
need it where actual field tests have
been made, that is, where the question
has been put to the soil and the answer
received in the crop" The fertilizer man
who advised you to the contrary has
probably been led astray by Prof. Hill
gard. who has steadily maintained by
an priori line of reasoning that our
soils did not need it, EDITOR)

Two Glasses of Foods-We notice that
they are naturally divided into two
main classes: Cd Foods having high
percentage of water and. therefore, low
contents of waterfree substances
these are generally termed green fod-
ders.' CO This class comprises those
which are rich in water-fre material,
and hence contain but little water; they
appear to be dry at the ordinary tenn
peratures and only lose the water which
they hold when exposed to higher tenn
perdtureS.
These two main classes can be subd-
vided into nitrogenous or those which
contain considerable fiesh-forming ma
terial compared with the fat-formers
and heat-producers, and starchy or car
bonaceous foods whose composition in
cludes, in the water-free portion, a
high percentage of carbohydrates and
low percentage, comparatively, of flesh
formers. AS examples of the former we
have corn, barley. wheat. etc. and of the
latter peas, beans, oil cake meals and
fresh meat. The richest food as regards
protein is cottonseed meal, with AZ per
cent of this ingredient Fresh meat and
peas and beans contain about the same
percentages, but the animal food has the
advantage, in that its protein is more
completely digested than that of the
vegetable products.
A Fattening Ration-Let us now re-
turn to the question of rations. For an
example. suppose we have 1000 pounds
of laying hens of six pounds average
weight; that would mean about 1855 hens.
According to our staNdard we require
about fifty pounds total food. which for
our experiment shall be made up from
wheat, barley, shorts, middlings, corn,
cabbage, corn fodder and skim milk in
the proportions given below:

ALL ABOUT A PUP
The Dog Catcher Comes Out Second Best In
Personal Encounter

Personal Encounter
1t does not seem to make any particu-
lar difference who fills the onerous po-
sition of dogcatcher, that individual
necessarily gets into more or less
trouble with the owners of the stray ca
mines he impounds, and his life is like
that of policeman, mot happy one"
Yesterday morning considerable excite
ment was occasioned on South Sprin.,
street by a row between the recently ap-
pointed arm of the law and Mrs. ].
I. Watkins, whose pet had been cap
tured by one of the dog catchers.
1t was claimed by the lady that the
man went into her front yard at So!
South Spring street, called the dog out
and threw rope around its neck, then
dragged it off toward his wagon. The
pup began bowling. and Mrs. Watkins
rallied to the rescue. She grabbed the
dog catcher and endeavored to loosen his
hold on her dog, and raised such a COM
motion that the man finally gave up his
prey Mrs. Watkins left the scene in
triumph, taking her pup with her. while
the dog man sorrowfully started on to
look for easier game to conquer.

total weight and water-free matter. but
is deficient In protein and tat and is ex-
cessive in its contents of carbohydrates.
The continued use of such rations would
tend to fatten the fowl. a condition a
poultryman does not desire for a laying
hen. Fattening tends to make the bird
lazy, and lazy hen is not as rule
laying one.
A Balanced Ration for Laying Hens
To remedy the above ration we omit the
shorts and substitute fresh meat, which
Is rich in protein and contains practi-
cally no carbohydrates and cottonseed
meal, another nitrogenous food. The
modified ration will then be:
The herald., 1896-08-15
POUNDS OF

The ration as it now stands is fair
ly good one. The amounts Of the nutri-
ents are all higher than that called for
by our standard but then it must be re-
membered that the figures there given
are for digestible matter, while the ta-
BILE shows only the amounts of the crude
nutrients.
Making the necessary allowances for
digestibility we will have about the
right quantities of the different nutri-
ents requisite for balanced ration. The
ration previously quoted would be
termed an unbalanced ration--that Is,
one in which the nutrients do not exist
in the proper proportions.
If the flesh formers are in excess. the
ration is nitrogenous; when the fat and
heat producers are present in to great
quantity, the ration is carbonaceous.
Mineral Matter for the Hen.-We have
said that the ration just given contains
the proper amounts of organic nutri-
ents. Let US now examine it with ref
erence to the mineral matter which 1t
contains. We find that in the fifty-nine
pounds of food there is only one pound
of mineral matter, which, even if this

He has been investigating the cause Of
the dropping of the lemons, so prevalent
everywhere. He frankly says that UP
to date he does not know the cause. but
thinks it may be on account of the want
of fertilizer or of improper fertilization.
He is, therefore, determined to put the
question to the soil and get the answer
in the crop" With this end in view, he
has determined to put out two test plots

Rational Feeding Of Poultry

Gan address by Mr.. M. F.. Jaffa of the
State university at a meeting of the
Poultry Keepers association at Peta-
luma.)
Having now our standards, let us try
and make up some rations with the aid
of the accompanying table. showing the
analyses of the different foods. We will
first make a brief study of our table, so
as to be familiar with the foods named
therein:
The herald., 1896-08-15

A mere glance at the above table will
show how very different in color, spe-
cific gravities and amounts of yield the
different varieties of eucalyptus are.
and the characteristic odors are as di-
versified as their other points: indeed
they are so different that it might be
possible to identify the variety by it's
oil
The variety Gunnii yielded no oil. but
during distillation a non-condensabIe
vapor comes over, which had a tempera-
ture of 5S degrees F., and filled the room
with the characteristic odor of bitter
almonds.
or all the twenty-six varieties diStill-
ed. but seven or eight seem to yield
sufficient oil to pay for extracting, and
the manufacturer should see to it that
other varieties of leaves are not allowed
to be mixed with these varieties when
buying. Indeed. only one variety of
leaves should be placed in the still at
one time. This rule should be carried
out until such time as the value of each
variety of oil could be determined.
REDISTILLATION
With the single exception of citriodora
oil, it is necessary to re-distil eucalyp-
tus oils, and they all carry some trace
of their original color with them. If.
however, they are re-distilled with from
three to four times their weight of water,
always using the water of distilation
from first distillation and one part in
forty of caustic potash of the best quail
ity. such as Rabbits, a water white oil
can be obtained.
On partial distillation of the eucalpy-
tus globulus about per cent comes over
at temperature below 40 degrees c..
from 51 to SO per cent comes over be-
tween 1Io and $50 degrees c., and twen-
ty-four to twentysiX per cent from $50
to 2SO. after which obstructive distil-
lation" begins.
In making series of re-distillations
and partial Installations Mr.. f. NJ Wade
gave his very valuable assistance, and
it is cause for regret that neither time
nor opportunity has enabled us to de-
eide what were the different products
of these partial Installations, with the
single exception of that portion of the
oil which came over between 175 and $50
degrees, which is eucalyptol. but we can
not agree with the authority which fol-
lows, that it crystallzes at tempera-
ture of one degree c., or at any other
lower temperature
