Bert E. Fisher has located a gold
mine in the Livermcre foothills
through gold which he found in the
gizzards of ducks.
Mr.. Fisher is engaged in the butcher
business in Alameda. Last week he
purchased some ducks from q farmer
Of Livermore Valley. In cleaning the
fowl he cut open the glzzards Of two
of them and found at least $3.50 worth
Of gold in small nuggets. Mr.. Fisher in
CURED OF the farmer where he raised
his ducks, and when informed he took
the next train for LiyeTmore on a pros
pectlng tour. He succeeded in locat-
ing what he believes to be rich p!a-
GER mine and has bonded several acres
IN the foothills
a had often heard Of fine pieces OF
gold being found in the gizzards Of
chickens but l never believed it, said
Mr.. Fisher. 81 thought all such sto-
rles were invented. When I cut open
the two ducks and found nuggets in
their gizzards l was more than sur
prised. I picked out the gold and took
it to the bank and received 81. so for it.
II my customers had only known it they
would probably have found enough
gold in their ducks to pay Tor them

STARTING PLANTS IN sODs.

Lima beans, squashes and melons do
nicely by starting them in sods. Take
some close cropped turf from a rich
pasture, cut it to fit strawberry bas-
ket and reversing it, place it in the
basket, and loosen up the soil, mix in
some superphosphate or rich compost,
and SOW the seed. The seed should be
sown about six weeks before it will be
safe to place the plants in the open
ground. The hardening off, that is,
inuring to outdoor conditions is very
important part of spring plant manage
ment. Two weeks before the time to
finally transplant, place the plants
in a shallow trench out Of
doors, having rim OF boards
high enough to secure head
room for the plants. The soil taken
from the trench should be banked
around the rim, A tight board cover

and such a cover may be cheaply MADE

THE BEAN WEEVIT,.

F. Bowen, of Missouri, states that
when beans raised last summer were
threshed during the winter, nearly all
Of them contained insects. What can
be done to prevent this trouble next
season? In the absence of specimens,
says Professor S. A. Forbes, of the
Illinois Experiment Station, | suppose
that the insect infesting the beans is
the common bean wecyil. This insect
lays its eggs primarily on the bean
pod in the field, and the larvae hatch
and enter the beans, but usually not
in great numbers. The adults begin to
emerge in the fall, and if in stored
beans will Immediately commence lay
ing eggs for a new brood, which in
turn gives rise to another and so on,
until the whole lot becomes infested.
This destruction may be stopped by
placing the beans in a tight vessel or
box with a small quantity of bisulphide
Of carbon, the fumes of which are
penetrating and very poisonous. This
is best done outdoors, as the vapOr is
injurious and inlammable but it
quickly escapes when the vessel is
opened and leaves no trace or effect
upon the beans. In any case, the
beetles should not be allowed to escape
and produce another generation Of
larvae in the field. Beans injured by
this weeyil are unfit for planting.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Sow your tomato seed now in boxes
if you want early plants.
Clean out the poultry houses and
spread lime about the premises.
Scrape all the scale lice off the fruit
trees, and hunt out every nest of in
eects.
A good quality Of clover hay cut fine
and steamed makes an excellent food
for laying hens if mixed with the soft
food
Have pigs come early and allow them
to run with the sows, giving all the
corn they will eat until weaned. Keep
old sows for raising strong pigs,
Trees for the home are great orna-
ment and comfort But set too close
to the dwelling they become q menace
to health by encouraging dampness'
It will pay you to breed your farm
mares this year, if they are good ones.
If they are not, keep selling and trad
ing until you get good ones. A good
team tells good farmer.
Don't forget to soak your seed pota-
toes ten hours in a solution composed
Of / part corrosive sublimate to 1000
parts of water, and you will have
crop Of smooth potatoes this year.
Usually barn yard manure possesses
too much nitrogen for well balanced
fertilizer, and the use of acid phos-
phate and posash salts in addition Is
needful. Good wood ashes with the
manure viii be beneficial
When an animal does not thrive 1t
Is not always necessary to resort to
medicines. lit may happen that salt is
needed, or that linseed meal will prove
p remedy. The cause should be con-
sidered before first attempting a cure
for an ailment.

THINNING FRUIT.

The Geneva On. " Experiment Sta
ton last year tried an experiment in
thinning fruit, whose result was re-
ported by Professor S. A. Beach.
Three methods were tried. First, all
inferior fruit was picked off, and where
the fruit grew in clusters only one
specimen was allowed. Second, the
same as above, except the fruit was
further thinned, SO as not to leave
specimens nearer than four inches.
The third method left no specimens
nearer than six inches. Some rows
were left without thinning. The gain
in first-class fruit was great by all of
these methods over the rows left I'M
thinned. The second method was pre-
ferIed. 1t required twice as long to
thin the fruit by No. method as it
did to harvest the crop. Mr. S. D. Will
ard advised Taking apples oil with
steel rakes, while the fruit was small.
This should be done on alternate rows,
and the trees thus thinned would be
perfect fruit buds for a crop next year.
Mr.. Collamer, of North Parma, picked
off $50 barrels of fruit from his trees
while the fruit was one to two inches
In diameter. His apples sold for $3.50
for 1000 barrels, which is much better
than having twice the number of bar
rels, most Of them hardly saleable at
any price. 1t is not likely that it will
anywhere be necessary to thin the apple
crop next season, but this lesson from
the great apple crop Of 1886 will be
useful for future use,

Cat Climbs a Well.

Moses Edwards, farmer of PASSPORT,
Long Island, owns in a large house
cat The most remarkable scaler of wells
on record. 4 few days ago, while
number of dogs We're chasing her, she
iumpod upon a well windlass to escape
her tormentors. 1he surface of the
wfndla-s. however, was frozen and af-
forded no chance for clinging. and turn
ing halfway round, dropped the animal
into the bottom OF the thirty-five foot
well. Edwards. who priced his cat
hiehlv. saw the fail CT his cat and i'm
ma5iately rushed to the top Of the well
to get her up. The cat however, was
in need of no help. On reaching the
TOP of the well Edwards naturally ex-
pected to discover the animal in the
water at the bottom splashing about.
To his surprise he found the cat climb
ing up the smooth walls Of the well
as eaaily as if they had been the roof
Of a house.
Edwards's opinion of the value Of his
cat has increased greatly since it has
exhibited such powers, and he says it
cannot be bought at any price.-Nsw
