THE MALICIOUS EXAMINER. :
Its Latest False Statement Concerning
the Railroad Company.
Some Facts Relative to the Recent
Death of Two Young Men
at Rocklin

1t seems to be utterly impossible for
the San Francisco Examiner" to be
halfway decent or honest in its treat
ment of any person or subject in which
the Southern Pacific Company may be
even remotely concerned.
The indecent exposure that it recently
made of itself when driven to the wall
on that $4,000 proposition seems not
to have shamed it in the least In re-
ferring to the recent unfortunate ac-
cident at Rocklin, by which two young
men lost their lives by their own care
lessness, that sheet says of Herman
Puckhaber, one of the victims:
"The Southern Pacific Company
buried him in a pauper's grave. al
though he could have been easily iden-
titled. They were seemingly endeavor-
ing to dispose of the matter as quickly
and as quietly as possible, according
to his mothers story"
The only plausible defense the ''Ex-
aminer' could make for uttering this
untruth would be that it was ignorant
of the facts. But if that were true it
would have no right to make the asser-
ton it did Facts, however, are not
what that mendacious sheet deals in.
The simple truth is that the railroad
company had nothing whatever to do
with the burial of the victims of the
accident Their bodies were taken in
charge by the Coroner of Placer County,
an inquest was held, and everything
possible was done to ascertain the iden-
tity of the unfortunate young men who
We're run over and killed by a train. All
efforts in this direction failed, however,
and the Coroner had the bodies buried in
the usual lway. Referring yesterday to the
article in the Examiner" from which
the above extract was taken, Division
Superintendent Wright said:
This statement is ridiculous and
false AS soon as it was discovered
Assistant Superintendent Jones called
1n the representatives of the Associated
Press and the United Press and gave
them minute descriptions of the men
who were killed at Rocklin, in the hope
that by having the same telegraphed
and published in San Francisco and
elsewhere they might meet the eye of
someone who would be able to Identify
the deceased.
1--WE did all in our power to enable
the Coroner of Placer County to solve
the mystery as to their identity, but in
vain The company did not have and
could not have had anything to do with
the burial of the deceased, and could
not have disposed of the matter as
quickly and quietly as possible, as al
legged by the Examiner

Beware
OF Mercury!

Whenever doctor is called upon to
treat blood disease, the result nine
times out of ten is that the treatment
is worse than the disease, and in
short while the patient finds his
condition far worse than it was at first.
The reason of this is that notwith-
standing the great progress made in
surgery, and in some branches of med
icine, the doctors have failed absolute
Iy to discover cure for blood diseases.
Whether in the form of pill, powder or
liquid, their treatment is always the
same potash and mercury which
temporarily dry up the poison in the
system and no sooner has it taken on
the full effects of these powerful drugs,
than that suppleness and elasticity of
the joints give way to stiffness, fol-
lowed by the racking pains of rheu-
matism. Then follows loss of hair
and finger nails, and even decay of the
bones-a condition most horrible.
Mr.. Henry Roth, of 1848 South Ninth
street, St. Louis, Mo-, was victim of
contagious blood poison-that worst
form of blood disease, which has always
baffled the doctors. He was treated

Aboard Ship.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro-
motive of health. So they are in most
cases. But it may well be doubted If the
shaking up aboard ship, which people of
very fragile constitution and weak nerves
get. is not prejudicial if its effects are not
averted or nullified by a medicinal safe
guard. The best, if we are to believe the
testimony of ocean travellers, whether
they go abroad for health pleasure or
business, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
InvalidS. commercial travellers, sea cap
tains and yachtsmen concur in recon-
mending this fine defensive tonic. So do
emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants
of malarious regions, and all who are ex-
posed TO hardship or rigors of climate.
For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble,
nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint
and constipation it is eminently efficacious,
and commended by the medical fraternity
far and near.

Sheep Raising in the South.

In correspondence with sheepmen all
through the south, I was pleased the
other day to ''run right up against" a
Florida planter. This gentlem an shows
how sheep are handled" there. They
are on the range the year round, and
never get any dry feed, other hay, fod-
der or grain, yet "they are always fat. :"
Some owners do not see their sheep for
months, and still they do not stray far.
They do not have to, for there is enough
for them to eat everywhere. There are
no particular sheep diseases in all the
South; and [ may say, anywhere else
where they can have access to pine
browse. Pine is death to all internal
sheep parasites. A profitable business
could be done in Florida growing young
lam bs for the numerous winter resorts.
This branch of business is now almost
wholly neglected. Sanatarium and
hotel keepers cannot get this kind of
lamb for their tables. I am not certain,
but believe that according to the last
census there were but about nineteen
thousand sheep In all of Florida. If one
does not desire to go so far south to To-
cate he can find good land very cheap all
the way along up the seacoast line to
Virginia. Any where along this route
he could ship dressed lambs in winter to
Florida or New York Farms are all the
way from three to thirty dollars an acre.
Cotton went down, slavery was abol-
ished, and the present generation was
left with too much land individually.
When l contemplate so many good
chances to secure a farm and fortune,
[ almost wish was boy again.-Galen
Wilson in Farm and Fireside.

Developing Flavor in Fruits.

The one quality that is Of the highest
Importance in fruits and vegetables is
flavor. Yet too frequently many are
willing to sacrifice this point, if only
they can obtain an article that looks
we'll when it reaches the market-trust-
ing to it's looks to sell it! But the men
who cater to the best trade are fully
aware that while handsome appear
ance is valuable, fine quality, or flavor,
is the one great feature upon which
critical buyers insist; while all must &C.
knowledge that in the case of fruit and
vegetables raised for ones own table the
matter of flavor becomes of the utmost
Importance. It is of interest, therefore,
to consider how flavor can most success
fully be developed.
In the first place the fruit or vege-
table must have good flavor as an innate
characteristic. Some varieties are
naturally excellent IN this respect, and
these are the fruits and vegetables to
select for cultivation, for while some ex-
cellence of flavor can be developed in
even an insipid fruit by proper handling,
it is folly to fall short of something bet
ter, when that something better is to be
had. 1t is unwise to reject anything
which nature has to offer in the way of
quality. Having then been careful to

day person. His work is not only
honorable, but one that demands the
brightest sort of intelligence for its
practice. There was once time when
people went into farming because it was
$50 easy" All you had to do was to
plough and sow and reap. Nature
took care of the rest, and the
farmer was supposed to lead an enviable
life. Farmers sons are made to learn
their fathers business,as the only avail
able occupation for men of small in
tellects and little or no mental cultiva-
ton.
All this has been changed; stupid
men are no longer needed. Neither
stupidity nor ordinary ability can follow
farming without starvation. Mother
Earth refuses to yield her favors without
a good deal of coaxing, and it takes a
scientific man to coax her successfully.
The value of fertilizers; the needs Of
different soils to make them productive;
the life OF the land; the care Of trees;
their protection from the various insects
that infest them necessitating fami-
liarity with the habits of such insects;
the best modern methods of butter and
cheese making, with the mechanical
skill necessary TO properly manage the
modern m ,chinery Of the dairy; these
are few Of the things the farmer must
know, In addition to the great infor-

with which he must be in close touch,
he must have business tact, COM

the best prices for his products and to

Oranges From Mexico.

An Associate Press dispach from
Washington says:
The Mexicans are taking advantage
of the scarcity of Florida oranges and
are shipping their supply of the fruit to
this country. Last season 400 Car loads
were shipped to the United States, but
this season fully 600 car loads will be
exported.
Thomas T. Crittenden, United States
consul general at the city of Mexico,
who furnishes this information to the
state department, says the old trees are
being pruned, new orchards planted and
every preparation made to compete for
the American orange trade. The Mex
lean orange season-from September to
December-tlts in between the Florida
and California seasons, he says, thus
leaving Mexico with practically no COM
petition in our market.

The Modern Farmer.

The modern professional farmer is a
professional man in the very best sense
of the term. The necessity for men of
high intelligence and broad knowledge
is no greater in "Uhe PROFESSIONS" as we
now speak of them, than ID the farming
industry. The up-to-date farmer must
be, in a small degree, scientific man.
He can not draw solely on his own ex-
perience for proper methsds any more
than a lawyer or physician Can. He
must be familiar with thefy as we'll as
practice; must be we'll rea1 in the best
literature of his class; must thoroughly
known the textbooks of his trade.

practical understanding, The modern

price. So that if the local druggist keeps
it, it is best to get it of him or have him
order it for you. If the local druggist
does not or will not keep it, or if his
prices are too high, it is perhaps best to
get the bisulphlde direct from the man
ufacturer. A so pound can should be
kept on every farm.
What is not used this season will do
equally well for next year. But there
are other uses for the bisulphide aside
from the destruction of weevil in corn.
1t is equally useful for killing ants in
hill, or for killing weevil in pease.
Paint which has been allowed to dry up
can be made useful, and old paint brushes
can be made new by its use.

Weevil in Stored Grain.

Mr.. III. E. Ward, entomologist of the
Mississippi Experiment Station, gives
some good advice in the Southern
Farmer about preventing weevil from
infesting stored grain.
He says that there is but one effee tive
remedy for insects of a kinds in stored
gain, and this consists of the application
of bisulphide of carbon. China berries,
iimson weed and the like have no effect
either in killing the weevil or in keep
i1g them away. Salt has some effect if
enough is used, but the best effective
remedy is the application of the carbon
bisulphide. This is volatile liquid,
the fumes Of which are heavier than air,
ard it is best applied by simply pouring
it over the top of the grain. The fumes
thus evaporate at once and form deadly
atmosphere within which animal life
can not live. 1t is thus effective in
killing any rats or mice which may be
In the corn as we'll as killing the weevil.
The amount to be applied will depend
on the tightness of the bin or crib con-
tanning the grain. One pound to the
hundred bushels will be effective in a
tight bin, but in the ordinary crib with
corn IN the husk five pounds bisulphide
to the hundred bushels of corn should
be used. The fumes of the bisulphide
are lnf1ammable and no light or lighted
cigars should be brought near where the
bisulphide has been used. The fumes
pass away within about twenty-four
hours, after which there is no danger
from this scourge.
Where can the bisulphide be obtained
and at what price? AS rule the local
druggists keep but few pounds on hand
and charge from 90 to rs cents per
pound for it. 1t can be obtained from
the manufacturer, Taylor, Cleveland,
Ohio, for II cents per pound in 10 pound
cans The local druggists can obtain it
from the wholesale houses at prices
which enable them to sell it at the above
price. Where less than 10 pounds is
obtained, Is cents per pound is fair
