Factories Drawn to
Sacramento Through
Department Stores.

We are in receipt of the follow
ing communication:
San Francisco, June 5, 1897.
Messrs. Weinstock, Lubin & Co,
cramento-Gentlemen Herewith
hand you a description of our fac
tory, also the conditions desired for
the removal of the same to your city.
Would like to hear from you at your
earliest convenience of the receipt OF
the enclosed and also your opinion in
regard to it.
Please submit the same to the
Chamber of Commerce Of your city
and let us have its opinion as soon as
possible as we should like to bring
about this change within the next
thirty or forty days
Awaiting your early reply, we are
respectfully, PACIFIC SHOE co.
Without the support and the
large trade that department stores
can give to a factory such offers
would hardly be made to this
community.
We hope that the Chamber of
Commerce may see its way clear
to make satisfactory arrangements
with this mandatory and have it
locate in our midst. We are sure
that others would soon follow.

Upholstered furniture is treated in the
same way if that is q part of the furnish

SYSTEMATIC WORK.
without 1t Poultry Raising Cannot
Be Made Success.

he Made success.
Too much work and no pay discour-
ages all who look forward for the best
results, and it is safe to claim that
great many persons who keep large
focks do more work than they should
be compelled to perform; not that work
should be avoided, for only work will
enable the poultryman to derive
profit, but there is no reason why such
work should be drudgery, or become
so disagreeable that one should dread
to do the duties assigned. No matter
what the work may be, if one has sew
eral hundred hens, and gives his whole
attention to business (poultry), regu-
lar routine can be followed; but for a
small flock of not over 20 hens it does
not pay to spend several hours in the
poultry house. 1t is just such duties
that have disguised many, and only
those who keep fowls for pleasure and
have plenty of time to spare can afford
to lose the time devoted to small lot
of hens. But much of the work is
made; that is, more work must be done
because it is not done right. The clean
ing OF the poultry house is job which
no one enjoys. To go into poultry
house on a cold day and pick and scrape
the droppings, inhaling the dust and
getting dirt on the feet and dust on the
clothes, is more than should be done
unless the hens are returning a fair
compensation therefor in eggs 1t all
depends upon what the attendant does
and how he cleans the poultry house
One who understands his business will
clean the house with a broom. and use
nothing else. First the house is
thoroughly cleaned and busted; then
dry dirt is sprinkled under the roost
on the floor. On this are placed leaves
or cut straw. Instead of cleaning the
poultry house once week this work IS
done daily. With the broom the walls,
roosts, tops and nest boxes and floor
are swept, the refuse removed and more
dirt and clean litter added, which will
require less than ten minutes for an
ordinary poultry house, thus also Civ
ing the fowls clean, dry quarters and
assisting to ward off disease. The same
in feeding: first learn, by feeding, how
much the fowls should have, and scat
ter the grain in clean litter and the
work is done. Have a place ION the
manure heap is best) for the refuse
litter, so as to be able to dispose of it
handily. Fowls kept in this manner
will lay, and to clean the poultry house
daily will be less difficult than to wait
until large amount of filth accumu-
lates to invite disease.-Farm and Fire

TO unload, fasten the ropes to beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in few min
utes.
The ropes should be SO laid that they
will not catch to anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
is to be determined by practice. In un-
loading, if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied to the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost di-
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do it high enough to pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or the other while
unloading, as he finds it necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. 1t is best
to practice a few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop, by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

And larger heavens their depths disclose

Out of their midnight bloom. as clear

Till tender splendors shed their glow
Far off and infinite, as though
They yelled some unknown country so.

That break upon that farther shore
In silent thunders. and immense

My being, till at last pour
My love, my longing, out before
The Love that lives forevermore.

And shuts me with my hope, my care,
In the dear world of glancing dew,
OF blossom bough and velvet blue.
Yet yonder hangs diviner air,
And all day long breathe aware
The country of the Lord is there.

Hen Manure in summer.

The manure from hens, unless grain
fed in summer, is usually less valuable
than it is in winter. But it is none the
less well worth taking care of. 1t will
heat very rapidly in hot weather if
kept in piles. AS it is usually deficient
in phosphates. it is a good plan to mix
some of the commercial phosphate with
the manure, as it is heating. 1t always
contains enough sulphate of lime or
land plaster to absorb the ammonia,
while the phosphate with the nitrogen
which the hen manure abounds in,
will make fertilizer very nearly equal
to guanO.

low of unloading fodder or hay. Two
ropes about so feet long, depending on

each being fastened to the hind axle of
the wagon. They are then passed back
and over the top of the rack between
the two outside boards on either side.
While loading, the ropes may be
brought back under the outside of the

Grain ration for Poultry.

On most farms at his time of the
wear, the fowls can have their freedom
and the tender grass, the fat bugs and
insects, and the much wholesome and
fresh natural food that they find will
make it hardly necessary for any other
ration. But it is best to give them an
evening feed of wheat or oats, in order
that those that may not have been for
tunate enough to find much, need not
go to bed with an empty stomach. But
there is great value which these farm
range fowls secure, and which is al
most as important as the food they get

One advantage with both sheep and

Good land, good seed, good tillage,
good manure are four essentials of
good farming.
