Alameda News Notes.

ALAMEDA. April 19.--The Native Sons of this and other cities had grand time last night conferring the Nincompoop de- gree upon a new member The affair closed with a banquet.
 It transpires that the reduction of in surance rates given by the compact or the school buildings of this city was not gratuitous, but was forced by the low rates offered by non-compact companies At first it was endeavored to be imposed upon the public as an example of gener- osity.
 Several applications for admission tc Company G have been received, and ii called upon for service 1t is expected that the full strength of the company will be readily obtained.

SERVING BREAKFAsT.-HoW our
tastes differ regarding good steak
and how to cook it. Says one sister
"Our way of cooking steak is on top
of the stove. Place little salt Oh the
stove, and lay the beef on, turning as
needed, than lift onto a hot platter
and season with salt, pepper aud but
ter" Another says: "Round steak is
our choice, and it must be pounded,
then dropped into salted water for a
minute, then rolled in -four, aud fried
in hot drippings. Oh, but it is deli
cious !" Stillanother family must have
sirloin full IT inches thick, choice
cut, and that is their steak every day.
MY choice is tenderloip. sometimes
broil it. If to be fried, I place on the
stove an iron skillet covered with an
iron lid, and let both become very hot.
This will brown both sides almost
simultaneously. I turn it and replace
the lid quickly. then serve on hot
platter with plenty of butter and sea-
soned to taste. A round steak or
tough steak cannot be successfully
cooked in this way. No butter or
drippiugs are put into the hot skillet.

WHY BROAD TIRED WHEELS Pay

WHY BROAD TIRED WHEELS pay
A wagon going uphill takes more force
to draw it than when it is moved on
level. When a wheel sinks in soft soil
there is an elevation of the ground in
front of it equal to the depth of the
sinking. When a narrow wheel sinks
or 4 inches in the ground the effect
is precisely the same as if the wagon
was going up the same incline; when
the broad wheel is used, if it does not
sink in the ground, this obstacle does
not exist. The surface of the wheel
does not interfere in the least with the
draught of the wagon, even on solid,
hard ground, and it must be evident
that the broad wheel will not cut into
the road as the narrow one will, and
thus on soft roads must be an easier
draught. By the use of broad-tired
wagon when u new road is being laid
out, it will soon be rolled hard and
solid, so that even narrow-tired
wagon will not cut in, but attempt to
make a road during The average har-
vest, winter or spring season with
narrow-tired wagons aud the job will
usually prove failure.-Roy Stone,
in Farm and Home.

yALI]E OF BARNARD MANURE.

The real value of the accumulations
in the barnyard is beginning to be ap-
preciaLed. We have farmer readers
who have said to US that they didn't
believe much in barnyard manure.
They believed it made their land "too
rich" We really never have seen
any land that was too rich. II might
be too rich for particular crop if
highly manured, but if the manure is
applied where it belongs, in a rotation,
there is no danger of land ever get
ting too rich. 1t might make land too
rich for an oat crop to manure ii
heavily, because it would make too
rank growth of straw, but there's
the grass land that always needs just
the kind of growth that is objectiona-
BILE in cases of oats. Put the manure
where it belongs, and no farm ever
makes too much of it. While the
manure pile is beginning to be appre-
ciated, there are great many who do
not know its real value. They do not
appreciate the fact that if it is put in
the right place it means increased
yields, and returns far exceeding the
cost of application. The reason why
there is failure to appreciate the
value of the barnyard accumu ulations
is because farmers have been for a
long time accustomed to very rich
and comparatively virgin soil, but
there never was soil 81 rich that it
would not wear out by continuous
cropping without any returns being
made to it. Every comparatively new
country is slow to learn this. 1t has
the aecumulations of centuries, per-
haps, to draw upon. Eastern farmers
had these accumulations, too, and so
did those of the south, but in both
sections commercial fertilizers are now
being used at cost that would throw
the western farmer into despair if he
had to incur it.-Homestead.

THE VALUE OF cow PEAS.

DR.. Stubbs of the Louisiana station,
in summing up the advantages of the
cow pea, gives these points:
l. 1t is nitrogen gatherer.
2. 1t shades the soil in summer,
keeping it in condition most suitable
to rapid nitri6cation, and leaves the
soil friable, and loose, in the best con-
dition for future crop.
8. 1t has large root development,
and hence pumps up from great depths
and large areas the water, and with it
the mineral matter needed by the
plant.
4. Its adaptability to all kinds OF
soils, stiffest clays to most porous
sands, fertile alluvial bottoms to bar
rem uplands.
5. 1t stands the heat and sunshine OF
southern summers.
6. Its rapid growth enables the
farmer in the south to grow two crops
year on the same soil.
7. If sown thickly, will by its rapid
growth and shade effectually smother
all weeds, and thus serve as cleans
ing crop.
s. 1t is the best preparatory crop
known to the southern farmer; every
kind of crop grows well after it.
9. On the alluvial lands of the Mis-
sissippi bottoms it serves to- pump OH
excessive water, evaporating it through
its great foliage, thus keeping the
soil in a condition for most rapid ni!ri-
fcation during the entire growing
season.
10. It furnished a most excellent
food in large quantities for both man
and animals. With all these advan.
tages, it is no wonder that it is called
the "clover of the SOUTH" and were
it used regularly, as one of the crops
in a regular but short system Of rola.

soon rival in fertility their primitive
condition.

BEYOND DIsPUTE.-It is said thai
Mr.. Tyler, from the time of his cleo
tion to the vice presidency until the
death of General Harrison, kept no
carriage, owing to the insufficiency OF
his salary. When, however, he found
himself elevated to the chief magis-
tracy of the country, the financial diff
ficulty being removed, he determined
to set up an equipage.
He bought a fine pair horses, en-
gagged an Irish coachman, and pro-
ceeded to look about for vehicle to
suit his taste. He heard of one which
was for sale by gentleman residing
in Washington, and went to look at it.
1t had been driven only few times,
and was in excellent condition, so that
the president, after careful examina-
ton, felt satisfied with it. Before final
ly deciding the matter he had his Hi
bernian coachman take look at the
carriage, and give his opinion of it.
"It's jist the thing fer your honor" "
reported that accomplished person.
"But," queried Mr.. Tyler, whimsi-
cally, "do you think it would be alto
gether proper for the president of the
United States to drive a secondhand
carriage, Pat ?"
"And why not? asked Pat, with a
shrewd twinkle in his eye. "Shure,
an beggin' your pardon, aint it yersilf
that's a second hand president?

Humorous department.

HIS PRICE.-In certain ready-made
clothing stores the most valuable sales
man is not the one who can sell coat
to the man who wishes to buy, but the
one who can sell coat to the man
who doesn't want to buy. A witness
who was on the stand in southern
court must have been salesman of
that sort.
He was testifying against a Negro
who had stolen a pair of pantaloons
from his store.
"How much are the pants worth -
asked Judge Thompson.
"Well, judge" responded the wit
ness, cit depends on the man who
wants to buy them. I sell them to
one man for Sc, to another for S5, but
you can have them for 81.
"Sir," responded his honor, in a dis
gusted tone, ~ want you to tell me
what those pants are worth"
"Ah, judge" said the Israelite,
"take 'em for So if 81 don't suit you"
"Look here" thundered the judge,
"if you don't tell me the exact value
of those pants, will send you to Jail
for contempt of court!''
"Well, then, judge" pleaded the
obtuse witness, in most insinuating
tone, stake 'em for 50. 1t is giving
them away almost, but you can have
'em for s2."
By this time the spectators were
convulsed with laughter, and the judge
himself was obliged to forget his dis
gust and join heartily in the laugh.
He did not buy the "pants," however.

WORE OUT HIS WELCoME.-When
a visitor overstays his welcome, the
people Of New England say, "He
makes US twice glad glad when be
comes; glad when he goes" A
worthy citizen of West6eld, Massachu-
setts, once put it even more strongly
than that to guest.
One of the Deweys, of West6eld,
removed to the Black River country,
but every fall he was accustomed to
bring bis family back to pay a long
visit to his well-to-do relatives.
On one occasion, after prolonged
stay, he was surprised to see his host
in the corner, weeping.
"Why, Cousin Tim," said he, "what
ails you?"
you'll never come down to see me
any more !" the host replied.
"Oh yes 1 will, Cousin Tim; I'll
surely come down next fall"
mo, you won't. Something tells
me you won't"
"Nonsense !" said the visitor.
"What has put such notion into your
head? Haven't We always come
down and spent the winter with ye .?
Come, cheer up, Cousin Tim! Cheer up,
and tell me what makes you think so" "
The grieving host blew his nose,
wiped his eyes, and turning his solemn
face to his synpathizing guest, said,
"'cause you'll never 60 away !"
