Cause of Bad Matches,

When q lot of eggs are examined
after being under a hen the allotted
period for matching, the death of the
chick should not be ascribed to the
hen, as she has done her duty if some
of the chicks come out. The difficulty
is with the eggs, the eggs most proba-
bly, in such cases being laid by fat
all poor matches are due to the hens
from which the eggs are produced, and
not any fault, of the hens that hatch
them, as it is not an easy matter to-
secure perfect matches in winter. :;

Good HOraeA.

The outlook for good horses is Ger,
tainly Frightening. The extraordinary
depression in horses has put great.
check upon the breeding Of the same!
There is real danger that this rebound
has gone so far that there will soon be-
lar too few good horses to meet the,
demands Of the market. For reallN
good horses the dealers report a sharp
demand even now, and a scarcity in
the supply, and if that be so now how,
much more will it be so when the.
waves of business begin to flow again.
But 1t should be borne in mind that ii
is only good horses that are scarce.
Any number of the mongrcl and non
have any more certain indication than
the recent shipment of a car load of
horses for slaughter to France. When
we can get no better use for our horses
1t is time to- quit raising them. The
ranges that grow horse flesh to be-
made into meat can better grow beef
or mutton. Those who love to work
with horses may still crafty their de-
sires even though the bicycle is in the
land. But let them look we'll to the
Find OF horses that they grow.-North-

might hold back the load easily. The

What Horses to Breed.

We have persistently advised farm
ers against breeding horses to suit
their own taste and then complain at
the price. The markets demand large,
heavy draft horses and large, stylish
coachers. but nine-tenths of the horses
are neither Of these classes, but are
+all-purpose scrubs. "A leading New
York horse Sealer, who handles over
10000 horses year, heavy draft and
coachers for city ard export trade,
says: ~. $ b
One thing about which the farmers
make a mistake in breeding horses
nowadays is that they breed to suit
themselve They must stop this If
they wish to make money; they must
breed to suit the market. i think the
future Of horse breeding is brighter
to-day than it has ever been, because
the knife is being used more and more

EXAMINATION CONTINUED.
In Sam Lees Case the Prosecution
Lacked a Witness.

The preliminary examination of Sam
Lee, the Chinaman charged with hav-
ing filed out and raised money on
worthless checks on the Peoples Saw
ings Bank of this city, was commenced
in the Police Court yesterday.
The facts brought out were similar
to those which have appeared in the
Record Union" Sam Lee secured two
blank checks from the banks counter,
and induced a young man named Clar-
ence Potter to fill them out for him,
representing that he was unable to
write. Young Potter filed in the
checks, one for $3.50 and the other for
$50, and signed the name of Jack Da-
Wis, which the Chinaman said was his.
The check was then presented to the
proprietors Of a Chinese store on Third
street in payment for a bill Of goods,
and Sam Lee took advantage OF the
occasion to borrow SO extra on them.
The checks, on presentation at the
bank, were found to be worthless, and
Sam Lees arrest followed
Owing to the absence of witness John
Price of Coloma, the further hearing
of the case was continued until to-mor-
row.

JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF.
Foreclosure of Mortgage on a Tract
of Land in Orangevale.

Judge Hughes court was occupied
yesterday by the suit brought by Louisa
Castorff against L. F. Gould, the
Orangevale Colonization Company and
George B. Katzenstein, to foreclose a
mortgage ON a tract in Orangevale.
Gould had decided the tract to Katz-
enstein and claimed that the latter had
promised to pay the interest and stand
between him and any deficiency judg-
ment The court, however, gave judg-
ment for plaintiff against the defend
ants, exempting Katzenstein from Ii
ability for any deficiency, on the ground
that sufficient proof had not been pre-
sented in regard to him.

SOME SQUARE DEALS NOW.
Must Knock 'em Out To-Morrow--
A MerciIess SLAUGHTER.

In our desire to close out several of
the most expensive Kimban and
Fischer pianos we have agreed to sell
for several of our customers their old
pianos. These instruments have all
been carefully tuned and regulated.
Three of them are in the very best con-
dition, almost equal to new. Coming
as they do from the homes of Sacra-
mento's best citizens, these pianos have
enjoyed the best of care, and we un-
hesitatingly say that there is not
better square piano of any make in
this city than these Steinways and
Chickering. They are the bargains Of
bargains, and will be sold on pay
ment of SO down and s. month.
The first is a very fine Chickering
taken toward payment of a new Kim
ball upright, and can be had for Sis;
S27 more money will secure the nearly
new ssteinway. Neither one of these
Instruments could be bought anywhere
in the United States for less than
double that money.
Have also on hand an old, good
toned, square piano that would ordi-
narily retail for $40 to $50. Take it
now for S3S. A very good 'Feurich''
upright for 800. (This will not be for
sale until Monday afternoon.) Have
also a New England upright az good
as new Also a Mathushek upright in
fair condition
Any of these instruments will be ac-
companied by our agreement to take
them back at these figures toward pay
ment of any new Kimball, Fischer or
Knabe piano. What's the use of rent
ing a piano when you may thus use
these for nothing.
Our sale is virtually closed. We have
however a few choice instruments left
for sale, and you can obtain here to-
morrow a better and in every way su-
perior piano for S16S than any dealer
in the State can sell you for 500, and
we will turn you over a finer fancy
cased cabinet grand upright for S31S
than you can get elsewhere for $500.
Make a nominal deposit on any un-
sold Instrument here, and we will hold
it till you can make full first payment.
Ten dollars a month will get fine
piano at wholesale cost now. You'll
never be able to do this again Store

yesterday at public auction, the sue
