HASTINGS WILL GET AWAY.
HE WILL START FOR KLON-
DYKE THIS WEEK.
Judge Hart Yesterday Dismissed
the Charges Against
Him.

Judge Hart yesterday granted the
motion Of Attorneys A. NJ. Seymour
and Hiram w. Johnson to vacate and
set aside the order of arrest in the case
of J. N. Hastings, who was charged
with an intent to leave the State for
the purpose of defrauding his creditors.
Hastings is one of the party of Sac
ramentans who are going to the Klon-
dyke on the steamer South Bend, in the
interest of a saWmill company organ
lied in San Francisco. He had been a
building contractor here for some years,
but recently went out of business be-
cause, as he says, he could not make
it pay. He owes several hundred dol
lars, and two of his creditors-the Sulli-
van-Kelly Paint Company and A. c.
Heisen-caused his arrest on Monday,
as he had intended to leave the city
the next morning.
COnsidera BILE testimony was taken be-
fore Judge Hart yesterday, and that Of
fered on behalf of Hastings was to the
effect that he had no means of paying
his debts; that his expenses to Alaska
were to be paid by his friend and COM
rade a. K. Varney; that he had not
sought to evade his creditors, but on
the contrary had called on several of
them and informed them that his OBJ
ject in going to the northern gold fields
was to try to make money with which
to pay those to whom he was indebted.
The prosecution endeavored to show
that Hastings had property that was
in his brothers name, but did not sue
coed.
Judge Hart was so well satisfied that
Hastings had made his intended de-
parture as public as possible, and that
he was not evading any obligation that
he was able to meet, that he made an
order directing his discharge.
Fortunately for Hastings, the steam
er on which he was to sail will not be
able to get away tomorrow, as Captain
Rideout had intended, and will not
leave until Saturday.
NJ n. Kimball-Who with A. K. VAR
ney, Hastings and John Schofield of
Elk Grove will be of the party-did not
leave yesterday but will go to San
Francisco this morning. He will take
with him a good outfit for hunting and
fishing, and hopes to keep the larder of
the launch Governor Stoneman we'll
supplied with fresh meat and fish, as
we'll as to enjoy little sport ION the
SIDE" as it were.

by the State Commission is a system Of
exchange of commodities between the
several institutions. For instance, the
grounds at Glen Ellen will produce
enough fruit this year to supply, beside
the local institution, those at Stockton
and Ckiah, While potatoes and other
vegetables at tf1e-tw latter places are
in excess of local demand in sufficient
quantities to supply Glen Ellen and the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum at
Berkeley.
In the future instead of each separate
institution advertising for supplies
produced in excess at some of the
others, the commodities will simply be
exchanged-money shifted from one
pocket to the other, instead of being
drawn from the purse of the man who
pays the taxes.
The commission has issued instruc-
tions that the supplies of brooms used
at the several institutions be drawn
from those manufactured at the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind Asylum, and that they
be paid for, as far as possible with pro-
duce grown or articles manufactured by
the institutions which order them.
PER CAPITA PER DIEM.
Captain Seamans, Clerk of the COM
mission, has figured out the per capita
cost for each of the five insane asylums
for the year ending June 80, 1897, as
follows:
StocktOn-Number of patients, l, 539.
Per capita cost of maintenance per
diem, SO cents.
Napa-Number of patients, 1,434.
Per capita cost per diem, 3S.1 cents.
Agnews-Number of patients, 900.
Per capita cost per diem, Al cents.
Observation-Disclosures of patients, 40.
Per capita cost per diem, 4S.1 cents.
Southern California-Number of pa
tients, 542. Per capita cost per diem,
80 q cents.
Out of the money appropriated for the
support and maintenance of the several
institutions for the forty seventh and
forty eighth fiscal years, balances re-
main on hand as follows:
Stockton, S15,419; Napa, $50, 514; Ag-
news, S20,7S3; Mendocino, $15,651; ;

The Malady of Which Charles W.
Sommers Died.

The body of Charles w. Sommers,
who died a few days ago, was yester-
day exhumed in order that the direct

POULTRY MANAGEMENT.

Convert at Least Part of Your Sur
plus Corn Into Eggs.
One pound of corn converted into eggs
will quadruple the value of the corn,
and pay for the labor used in feeding it
TO the fowls. The fowls on farm open
the way to larger profits, because there
is always certain proportion of waste
food that can be utilized by poultry
which will not be of much value as food
for large stock. The farmer who is
business man is not content to sell his
crops off the farm at low prices to be
converted into better marketable
product, but uses his intelligence with
his labor. There is room on all farms
for poultry, but it is not usually given,
and the hens are expected to be self-sup-
porting, because they are willing to
forage 1t is true that the COW pro-
cures from the pasture large share
of her food, but when the pasture fails,
provision is made for her support, or
she will shrink in her milk. The same
rule applies to fowls. When the winter
appears they must be assisted, or there
will be falling off in eggs. AS the COW
will not thrive on grain alone, neither
will the hen. Judicious feeding to se-
cure the desired product is necessary.
Give the hens their proper place on the
farm. and look upon them as source
from which profit can be obtained, and
consider them as useful agents in chang
ing the food into higher-priced articles.
1t is when grain is used on the farm that
the farm pays, and eggs have paid when
there was no revenue from any of the
animals.-Farm and Fireside.

WORK GUARANTEED.
DAIRY COW RATION.

Some Valuable Hints Furnished by Prof.
w. A. Henry.
a correspondent of Breeders Gazette
asks some one to formulate ration for
his dairy COW. He says: For rough
ness I have enough shredded corn-fod-
der to give one feed a day and alfalfa
and sorghum hay for the other feed.
For grain, old-process oil meal at 500
per ton, wheat bran at seven dollars and
corn at 10 cents per bushel. / prefer
to feed corn with the husks on, depend
ing on hogs to clean up the waste, as
allow them to work over the manure
before hauling to the field. / am maxi
ing butter at 20 cents per pound and
want the most economical production.
To which Prof. w. A. Henry replies as
follows:
Our correspondent can present a
most excellent bill of fare to his cows,
and with the feeds at the prices named
can still make good living in selling
hutter at 20 cents per pound, pro-
viled everything is well managed and
he has good COWS. Do not think of u.s.
ing oil meal at the price named, for it
is much the dearest food on the list.
Tie alfalfa hay furnishes a good deal
of protein, making the necessity for
bran not quite so great as if no alfalfa
were fed; on the other hand, bran is
cheap at seven dollars per ton. The
eastern farmer would consider it al
most a gift at such figures, and when
corn is ID cents or less per bushel, or
less than five dollars per ton, all COM
parsons are of little avail. Give the
COWS all they will eat of the roughage
just as proposed; then feed the equal of
ten pounds of shell corn per thousand
pounds of animal, and give four pounds
of wheat bran additional. On this ra-
ton you should get about pound of
butter per COW daily with part of the
herd fresh in spring and fresh part in
fall. Be very careful to make the best
Use of the skim milk, for no small part
of the real profit comes from this. Aim
to feed not over three pounds of skim
milk to one pound of corn to the pig.
More milk than this means a waste of
most valuable by-product.
With corn at 10 cents per bushel and
pork at three cents per pound, the skim
milk should be worth IS cents per 100
pounds. In it's effect on young pigs in
building bone and muscle it is most val
liable. It is necessity i'll the west,
where bone and muscle-building feeds
are of the highest Importance. because
corn is apt to be overfed.

PURIFYING WATER.
storing 1t Away Is the Most Effective
Wyo~ nf FrfIforfuU


storing 1t Away Is the Most Effective
Way of Filtering.
1t is well known that alum will re-
move organic and other matters from
water so as to render it clear and pure;
but it is now said that fuoride is superb
or to alum for this purpose, says Nee
hans Monthly. One ounce of fuoride
is used to every 1000 gallons of water.
After all, the best kind of purifier is ma
lures own. The minute organisms
known as bacteria are the chief causes
of the impurity of drinking water.
These invisible creatures have to live
as well as their larger brethren, and
they must eat to live. AS soon as they
have eaten all the water that there is to
feed on they die. DR.. FARMLAND has re-
Gently stated, from his recent examine
ton of water stored for two weeks, that
it seems as pure and free from bacteria
life as if it had been passed through the
best of filters, but it seems strange that
this should have so recently come un-
der DIR. Franlxland's experience. Every
one knows that there is no better or
purer water in the world than that
which is supplied to sea-faring people.
Almost any kind of water stored away
in a ships tank becomes absolutely
pure after the vessel has been few
weeks at sea- This is usually ascribe2
in popular language to fermentatios,
hut there is really nothing to ferment;
II is simply that the bacteria have eaten
everything in the water that there is
to eat and then die of starvation.

People who fear an over-supply Of
honey should remember that at present
the annual honey yield in this country
is not sufficient to allow each person one
pound year. Estimating that one-half
the people do not care for honey and
that one-half of the remainder are too
poor to buy even pound or two, there
remain only four pounds to each person,
rather meager annual allowance for
lover of honey. This estimate makes
no allowance for the amount consumed
by bakers, tobacconists, confectioners,
ETC., who annually consume many tons.

A sIeteoric Bomb.

Several remarkable meteors, seen in
and around New York city on the aft
ernoon of December 4 last, were the
subject Of discussion at recent meet
ing of the New York academy of sci
ences. One passed over Central park,
one was seen from the Brooklyn bridge
and one appeared at Fordham. Atnear-
" the same hour a meteor passed over
Passaic, Irvington and Danbnry, Conn.,,
end one burst near Railway, and APP
parently came to the ground in four
pieces. From study of the reports
concerning these phenomena it has
been suggested that the bursting me-
teor seen at Railway was fragment of
the body which later passed over Pas
seic; that the meteor again separated
into at least three parts-one of which
shot over Irvington and Danbury, am
other over Fordham and the third over
New York, but where they struck the
earth is not known Youths COM
panion.
