Senators Palmer, Gray, Villas and

Speaking of the Jones assault tire
Stockton Mail has the following:
The Grand Jury has taken up the
matter and Jones will probably be
properly punished for his cowardly
assault. His unmanly conduct indi-
Gates that the APPEALS charges are

Amidst the cheers that followed his
remarks, Mr.. Bryan fastened from the
tabernacle and was driven to the corner

arrangements had been made for an
overflow meeting. When they reached

so densely packed around the platform

millionaire, the proprietor of race
tracks, gambling houses and long
string of thoroughbreds, besides a vast
amount of Chicago real estate, says he

been driven from pillar to post, closed

Bradstreet's General Review of Trade
will say:
In nearly all lines of trade the condi-
ton is unchanged, in some departments
lifeless. South and southwest the heat
has had an unfavorable influence, but
| merchants in all directions continue to
! buy for needs only. While it is too early
for fall trade to assume large proper
tons, distribution of clothing and shoes
has improved somewhat, although less
active than one year ago.
At several centers bankers have pre-
ferred not to loan as freely as hereto
fore.
Merchants, not wishing to be refused,
have accordingly curtailed their requests
for accommodation. Mercantile collec-
tons are slow in some instances, more
difficult to make. Renewed scrutiny of
credits has had an effect in restricting
the same. Iron and tteel industries re-
main excessively dull. Makers of pig
are piling stock. Large lots could be OBJ
tanned at concessions.
Cotton yard manufacturers have
agreed to curtail production so per cent
during August. and. owing to lack of de-
mand, western packingh house employees
have been laid off. There is no improve
ment in wool, and some Philadelphia
mills have been shut down. Portland ad-
vices are that no considerable movement
of Oregon wool will take place until af
ter election. Cotton goods remain I'M
changed, Notwithstanding their prices
for cotton. Comparatively favorable
reports concerning general trade are
more numerous than in preceding weeks.

TRACK AND TURF
Gentry's Work at Columbus The Races at
Petaiuma

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. THE grand
circuit meeting closed today. The wealth
er was fair, but the track was not as
fast as yesterday owing to heavy rain
during the night. John r. Gentry, the
pacing stallion, went a mile to beat his
own record of 2:03ia. and succeeded in
clipping off a quarter of a second and es-
tablishing a new world record. Had
the track been as fast as yesterday, it
is believed Gentry would have paced
mile in better than POP. About o'clock
Gentry was given warming up and he
made the circuit unpaced in 2:06 1t
was after 5 O'Clock when the stallion
went to beat his own record. He was
driven by Andrews and was paced by
running horse in a sulky. A light
breeze was blowing down the stretch.
and the conditions We're hardly as ia
vorahle as when Robert J. made his fast
mile yesterday. The time by quarters
was, 311a, 1:021&. 1:S3&, 2:03l4.
A peculiar complication arose in the
2:20 pace and Monopole won the race
under extraordinary circumstances.
Brandon won the first heat in 2:12L
and Miss Jennings the second and third
III 2:09l2 and 2:12l2. Monopole. who had
finished ninth, sixth and eleventh in the
first three heats won the fourth and fifth
heats. In the fourth Miss Jennings was
distanced and in the fifth Brandon was
drawn. Under the rule that all horses
which have not taken a heat shall be
ruled out after the fifth. Monopole was
left without competitor in the sixth

With all crops a better and thrift
| Ter growth will be made from the
start if the soil is kept in good
filth and free from weeds. Having
good seed and planting in a we'll
prepared soil secure a quick germ
ination and strong vigorous plant.
Then cultivation must be given to
maintain a good growth. Plants
are like animals. If neglected dur
ing the early stage of growth they
are easily stunted and no after
treatment will entirely overcome
the effect. This is one reason for
commencing the cultivation early.
Then, if the soil was well-prepared
before planting, it is much more
easily kept in good condition by
early cultivation than if neglected,
for the hard, beating rains and the
hot sun we usually have at this
season run the soil together Weeds
are most easily destroyed when
small, which is another good reason
for early cultivation.
But the destruction Of the weeds
is only one benefit secured by cul-
tivation. IF the land were free
from weeds, cultivation would still
be necessary. Keeping the soil in
good filth gives the roots a better
opportunity to penetrate and find
plant food and moisture. A soil
stirred deep and thoroughly will
retain moisture better. Then stir
ing the soil helps to make the plant
food in the soil available. The
rain, sun and air SO act upon the
elements of plant food in the soil
as to make them available for use
by the growing plants
The early cultivation is the most
important and should be the most
thorough. For most crops, after
the weather gets hot and dry, deep
cultivation is not best, as the soil
will dry out deeper.

A strict account kept by a dairy
man who grew upon his farm all
the food consumed by his cows
shows that a pound of butter costs
13c. This is varied, however ac-
cording to the breed used.
Upon the fitting of the collar
depends the work done by the
horse. While a collar may not
cause sores, yet it may be very un-
comfortable. The collar, and also
the harness, should be made to fit
the horse perfectly, and whenever
the days work is done the animal
should be thoroughly examined in
order to discover any i'll effects from
the use of the collar.
This is an excellent time to make
the hills for tomato plants. Dig a
hole two feet square and a foot
deep. Fill it full of manure and
cover well with dirt. When ready
to put out the plants spade up the
whole hill incorporating manure
and dirt intimately The manure
will have decomposed and will be
in excellent condition for plants,
and space Of 4 feet square should
be spaded with which the manure
should be mived.

Attention is called to the fact
that the potato will celebrate the
Booth anniversary of its introduc
ton into England this year. 1t
was in 1896 that Sir Walter Raj
eigh returned to England from
America with the first tobacco and
potatoes, which originally grew in
Peru. Although the potato, it is
estimated, now furnishes one-sixth
of the nourishment of the human
race, for long time it was a del
icacy for the rich alone. Even at
the beginning of the 18th century
noblemen paid two shillings q
pound for potatoes and seasoned
them with sherry. People often
visited the gardens of the botanist
Gerard, at Holborn, to see the
plants in bloom. There is talk Of
celebration in honor of the ami.

meal or ground oats may be given
with the milk, and then dry. But
all this should not lessen the feed
ing Of the SOW, who will still be the
malnstay of the litter.
Following this method of keeping
the little pigs bellies full and their
digestive organs at work, it is not
difficult to get them weighing forty
or fifty pounds at six weeks old, or
half this weight at four weeks, at
which time, when fat, for rOasters,
they will be worth 50 or "a each. A
litter Of ten pigs sold at this rate,
and two filters in a year, will make
a good brood sow worth capital
sum, estimated for the income of it,
of $1,000. This is an example of
the profit Of some special product
which may not be available for the
whole farm, but will be a goodly
addition to the income of it, at very
little cost.
