Golden Wax Beans.

The golden wax bean is very popular
as n snap bean, though 60 our taste II
has less OF the Characteristic bean
flavor than have the snap beans that
are green rather than golden In color
Their advantages as a snap bean con.
sists, we suspect. in being less stringy
than the more highly favored green
snap beans, and In keeping their ten
derness until nearly the time OF ripen
Ing. But when dried and shelled, the
wax beans are really superior In quail
ity, next to Lima beans In tenderness
The only objection TO the bean Is thai
when cooked 1t is dark colored. But
this Is really a small matter. II Is
however. rather difficult to shell the
wax bean Its pod, even when ripened
continues to be thick and does not DIR,

shelled by hand.-American Cultivator

The illustration shows a wagon and
pumping outfit just completed by the
Hercules Gas Engine Co., Of San Fran
cisco and now in use by the Supervisors
of Tulare county upon the roads near
Visalia.
1t consists of an improved type OF an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and plat
form built at the rear of the tank upon
which stands 2 y II. p. Special Her
cules Gasoline Engine geared to g.
inch centrifugal pump. From this
pump runs rubber suction hose and
discharge pipe into the tank. The tank
holds $4,000 gallons of water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex-
coed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at a cost of about cents for each till-
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined TO
road sprinkling, but 1t is applicable to
any purpose where water has to be
hauled, as, for instance, supplying
threshing machinery or conveying water
from one point to another for any pur-
pose. The simplicity Of the engine
makes its use perfectly safe and relia-
BILE, as it is automatic in action, all
that is needed being to open the valve
admitting the gasoline. and to give the
wheel a start with the hand. It is
durable and not at all likely to get out
OF order, requiring neither engineer MOI
machinist to keep it in condition for
work.
sprinkling country roads has beer
considerable Of problem, and it is be-
lieved that this improvement will &c
far towards an economical solution OF
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works o.
| San Francisco, furnish these wagons
and engines in any desired capacity, anC
fully guarantee them in every way.

Points on Breeding.

A man should breed with some def
mite purpose in view-should have an
ideal In his mind, and constantly work
toward il. Having grade Jersey now,
in what respect Is a change desired?
The Guernseys and Jerseys are very
similar In most important particulars.
Neither breed is noted for giving extra
large amounts of milk, but rather for
yielding milk OF exceptional quail
ity. So far as breed is concerned.
we see nothing to be gained by chang
ing from Jersey to Guernsey; but there
may be n wide margin for choice as be
tween individuals. Rather than breed
these grade Jerseys to an Indifferent
and unsatisfactory Jersey bull, we
would use a Guernsey, IL one was Of
fered, OF better form and pedigree. For
the same reason, we would not accept
an inferior Guernsey. when a better
Jersey could be had.
There have been some excellent cows
Of the Guernsey-Jersey cross, but this
was not because OF the cross-breeding.
but because dam and sire were superior
animals. Some people affect to think
there is some hidden power or virtue In
cross-breeding, and they are continu-
ally following after some will O the
wisp, phantasm or charm. In the de-
lusive effort to get something for
nothing. Cross-breedlng Is all right
provided II is entered upon with a clear
understanding of its limitations and
purposes, but one must not expect to
raise profitable cows from sires that
have only name to recommend them
There are a great many scrubs
amonk the full-blooded animals In al
breeds.-Hoard's Dairyman.

IMPROVED sPRINkLINo WAGON
A Device that Does Away with Road
side Pumps and Tanks.

A Device that Does Away with Road
side Pumps and Tanks.
A recent improvement in sprinkling
wagons bids fair to revolutionize road
and street sprinkling in the country
where there is no water system to sup
ply water from hydrants. Heretofore
it has been the custom to erect pump
ing plants, or to pipe water from dis
tant points to stations along the road at
such distances that the load at one Of
these stations would last until the
wagon reached the next station on its
trip. This plan makes necessary the
expense Of piping, tanks, wells, horse
powers. etc, and has always been a
very considerable item OF expense, and
more or less of an obstacle to having
roads we'll watered.
The improvement consists in attach
ing gasoline engine and centrifugal
pump on a platform at the rear of the
sprinkling wagon so that water can be
taken from any convenient source. A
suction hose with foot valve is attached
to the pump which can be lowered into
tank, creek, watering trough, or any
water source. The wagon driver ther
starts the engine, and in from six &c
ten minutes his wagon is filled.

One of the important advantages OF
the Dorset sheep is its prolificacy. The
ewes quite generally farrow two lambs
and have been known to drop triplets
and raise them all. They are a very
hardy sheep. well able to defend them
selves, and even marauding dogs. who
have regarded the sheep as their nat
ural and easy prey. have often been
obliged TO desist when they find them
selves confronted with the formidable
horns with which both the bucks and
ewes OF this breed are armed. In To-
calltles where predatory dogs are the
shepherds scourge. the horned Dor
sets are the sheep that VIII be most
sure to give satisfaction.

OF the numerous sap shoots that start

Mr.. Adams tried the experiment by
actual tests. He put so many head In
one field, and fed them freely OF salt;
and an equal number in another field,
and gave no salt. The cattle without
salt put on flesh more rapidly and were
ready for market several days ahead of
the other bunch which had been freely

H0FFMANN'S MARITAL WOES.
Instead of Giving Him supper His
Wife Threw Plates at Him.

Conrad Hoffman, of No. 60 Franklin
street. was held in $500 for the Grand
Jury in the Second Criminal Court this
morning for assault and battery on his
wife. The assault took place on May 10
last. Since that time Hoffman and his
wife have not lived together. The lat
ter is at present staying with her parents
at No. 1876 Garden street, Hoboken.
Through the efforts of Poormaster Hewitt
Hoffman has been paying his wife $3.50
a week for support. After their quarrel
on May 10 they decided on separation.
Hoffman bears the imprint of his wife's
teeth in several places on his right arm
and wrist.
Hoffman was arrested yesterday, and
says it was simply a case of spite on the
out Of her failing to properly attend to
her household duties. On May 10 he got
mad because his supper was not prepared.
He abused his wife. She hurled a loaf of
bread at him. Then the dishes COM
menced to fly. Hoffman, who has been
lin the employ of Undertaken George
Brackner for the past seven years, says
he did not relish that sort of meals.
Mrs. Hoffman accuses her husband of
spending money on other women, and
Hoffman does not altogether deny the
charge. He says he is willing to provide
for her support, but declares he will never
live with her again.,
