Agricultural Hints.

1t might be we'll for you to change
the variety Of your corn. Think of it.
Broadcast sowing of ashes on plowed
ground, before planting, is q good way
Of application.
Peas make an excellent green manure,
but we would advise growing peas for
the food they furnish
In the new west, plant fruit trees and
shade trees, even if you fail to grow
them. 1t is worth the trial.
Perhaps there is, under ordinary cir
cumstances. nothing better for pasture
than clover, red clover, timothy and
blue grass.

Every time farmer buys bran for
feeding his stock he also buys fertilizer.
Bran and cottonseed meal are rich in all
the elements required in the soil, and
the cost is repaid BY the increase in
weight of the animals If the farmer
can make the gain from the animals pay
for the feed there will be a fair profit
left in the manure heap. But this profit
is valuable according to the manner in
which the fertilizing elements are pre-
served while 10 the heap. 1t is in the
management of the manure that the
profit is retained and future crops in-

EMBEZZLED BICYCLES
HARRY CLARKE'S METHOD OF
PAYING GAMBLING DEBTS
His Arrest Followed but the Young
Mans Father Will Square His
Accounts-Sad Downfall

Two complaints, alleging the embez-
element Of bicycles, were filed against
Henry r. Clarke in Justice Morrisons
court yesterday. There are five more
cases in which complaints have not yet
been filed.
Clarke is a young man, the son of re-
spectacle parents, who live at 1901 Union
avenue. His habits of gambling got him
heavily into debt a short time ago, and
then he resorted to theft to secure money
His plan was to go to a bicycle shop and
rent wheel, promising to buy it IL 1t
suited him, and then take 1t to a pawn
shop and obtain a loan on it, He secured
seven wheels in this manner from diff
ferent firms, receiving various amounts
for them, from 81 to $11 each. 1t is need
less to say that the wheels were never
redeemed.
On the goth Of October he secured a
wheel from s. Larsen & Co., bicycle deal
ers, at 223 West Fifth street. A few
days later he secured another bicycle
from Henry c. Wilson, 1O05 South Grand
avenue. Complaints have been sworn
out against the young man by both these
firms.
The police set to work to find Clarke,
but he left the city and they were unable
to locate him. Friday he came back and
was arrested. Clarke's father has prom
ised to make good all the value Of the
wheels which his son embezzled, and as
there is disposition on the part Of the
prosecutors to effect such a settlement
it is hardly probable that the charges
against him will be pushed.

that the company can provide employ
ment for few more good men.

State Senator ]. H. Shine.

One of the most popular citizens of
Sonora is genial John H. Shine, who
represents Stanislaus, Merced, Tuo-
lumne and Mariposa counties in the
State Senate. That he possesses a host
of friends was evidenced by his cleo
ton as a Republican by a majority of
over 400 in a Democratic district. An
honest man, and possessing a genial
temperament, which wins him the
friendship of all who come in contact
with him, his career as a public official
is most promising.
Senator Shine is a native of Wiscon-
sin and served through the war in
Company II, $3.50 Illinois Infantry. He
went to Sonora in 1868 and engaged in
mining, and later in the stage business.
He is now engaged In the livery busi-
ness at Sonora, his stable being the
largest in the State. His name is men.
toned as the next United States Mar
shall for the Northern District of Cali
fornia, and his friends say he will GER
tainly receive the appointment.

ESCHEN & MINOR.
Local Ballastnen Who Enjoy
a Worldwide Reputation.

a w OrId-Wlde Reputation.
Stationed inan humble looking struc-
ture on the wharf at the foot of Mis-
sion street is firm the name of which
is known to the captain of every veS-
sci that has entered this port during
the past ten years. The firm is that
of Eschen & Minor stevedores and bal
lastmen, composed of Captain j. c.
Eschen and Captain r. Minor, both ex-
pertS in their line.
The firm was established in 1853 by
the late Captain Peter Robinson, who
continued in harness alone until 1887,
when Captain Eschen purchased an in
terest. Four years later Captain Rob
inson died, and he was succeeded by
Captain Minor, both partners being
practical seamen and enjoying an eX-
tensiVe acquaintance in shipping cir
cles. The firm gives employment daily
to from ten to a hundred men, who re-
ceive from SO to Sc day each in wages.
The business is confined to the loading
and unloading of vessels and to the
placing OF ballast in such YES
sells as are bound for northern ports
for cargoes of wheat. The stone used
for this purpose comes from Telegraph
Hill, and is so disposed in the holds
OF vessels as TO prevent It's shifting in
stormy weather. The skill displayed by
Eschen & Minor in the ballasting OF
such large vessels as the Royal Fort,
William Tell, DittOn and many others
has given them a reputation which ex-
tends to all the seaports of the world.
The firm is well supplied with all the
improved appliances required in the
process of loading and unloading yes
sells. The promptness with which all
work of this character is executed has
recommended it to the favorable notice
Of foreign ship masters. the result
being that its services are in constant
demand
