ELECTION RETURNS.

This evening when the official count
at the polls is concluded there will be
posted outside of each polling place an
official announcement Of the entire vote
for each candidate.
It will be the first time in the history
done. Heretofore it was only with ex-
treme difficulty that returns in many
cases could be secured. Citizens have
been compelled to dance attendance
upon the fortunate few who had the
figures or to apply at the newspaper
offices which were frequently deprived
Of the returns by the stupidity or pre-
judice of election officials.
Under the new law the officials must
disclose to the public the results of the
election at once. 1t is a crime to mutt
late or remove or interfere with the
posting. which in itself is preventive of
fraud and an additional guard of the
sacredness OF the ballot box, since this
first official announcement will always
stand in the path of any possible tam
pering with the ballots or the returns
made after the election.
Let every election official see to it
that the new law relative to posting the
returns is strictly complied with. Let
them see to it that the sheet is firm
ly posted; that It is put under shelter;
that 1t is conveniently posted for read
ers, and that its figures are large and
distinct. This whole arrangement is for
the good and convenience OF the people
at large, and they have q right to be
respected in the premises.

RAIsIN MARKET.
Nearly $1,oo0,O00 Paid to Grow
ers Thus Far This Season.


The California Raisin-Growers' Asso-
citation has paid out to it's members
since October 5. 1883, $751, 235 on sales
of this seasons raisin crop in daily
amounts as follows:
! October 9TH to It'll, $1,367; 10th,
81, 2S3; 18th. $50, 424; 18th, $56, 536;
18th, $29,669; 18th, 1853; 18th, $lS,-

1852; 18th, $73. 562: 31st, $500; Mo-
vember LIST, $47,122.
This money has been distributed to
the raisin-growers of the State from
MADEIRA County to San Diego, and as
far north as Yolo County.
It is not generally known, but is
nevertheless true, that the California
raisin is possessed of valuable aperient
qualities. Grape-growers are as a rule
familiar with the laxative element Of
the grape, but rarely attribute the same
quality to the raisin. The absence of
this Characteristic in the raisin. as 1T
| is generally used, is due chiefly to in-
proper methods in cooking. To pre-
serve the vinous and aperient qualities
of the raisin, ittShould be cooked in
| water just short of boiling Thus treat
ed the delicate flavor is brought out.
| and the result is an appetizing and
wholesome article Of diet of which even
a dyspeptic may eat freely with no
danger of Ill results.
| It is to the processing of the Cali
fornia seeded raisin, whereby it is sub
| jected to a dry heat Of 40 degrees,
with a sudden chilling thereafter, that
| the high nutritive value and digestive
quality of this delicious, article is due.
When these valuable qualities of the
raisin are as thoroughly understood by
| the housewife as they should be there
will be no fear of overproduction OF the
raisin grape in this State.
| Careful inquiry by the California Raj
n-Growers' Association regarding the
undelivered portion Of the 1899 crop OF
raisins warrants the statement that
one-third Of the crop yet remains out
| in the trays. One-half Of these will
have to be sold to wineries. while the
balance (one-sixth) may possibly be
saved by favorable weather and plac-
ing them as far as possible in drying
houses to be cured by artificial heat.
| Owing to the urgent demand from the
trade. which the California Raisin-
Growers Association finds itself unable
to fill promptly with raisins Of stand
ard grade, the directors Of the asso-
citation found 1t necessary to name
prices for Pacific and Oriental
brands. They therefore fixed prices on
the following grades on November I'd.
to take effect Immediately:
Pacific Brand-2-crown loose Musca-
tells, 81 cents a pound: 3-crown,
cents; 4-crown, 61z cents; seedless, Az
cents.
Oriental Brand-2-crown loose Musca-
tells, Az cents; 3-crown. 5A cents;
4-crown, 6 cents.
There will be no Seedless Of the "ori-
entail brand.
Cash discount and terms of payment
are as named for standard" raisins.
The association gives the usual guar
anty that 1t will not sell any Of the
above grades Of raisins up to- next har-
vest time at any less prices than herein
quoted.

One Thing and Another.


Special Agent Taylor, who has been
investigating the beet sugar industry
very thoroughly, says his attention has
been called time and again to the fact
that cattle fed sugar beets or pulp
along with grain are able to digest all
the grain they eat, and the refuse
shows no whole grain.
A mixture Of alfalfa and tall mead
ow oat grass sowed at the rate Of 16
pounds Of seed per acre has proved
quite satisfactory at the South Dakota
station. Its advantage consists in the
fact that after the first crop Of alfalfa
and oat grass has been cut there are
stu other cuttings Of alfalfa, and the
first cutting is somewhat heavier than
that Of alfalfa alone.

BARREL SLAVES USED AS STAYS.
nell station has lately issued a bulletin,
No. 1871, in which Professor Clinton
gives a full and detailed description
with many illustrations Of the manner
Of building stave silo.
Among points of interest is the use
Of old barrel slaves to aid in maintain
ing a circular outline when setting up
the slaves of the silo. These are re-
moved before the silo is filed. For
silo 16 feet IN diameter -four barrel
slaves have the right curve. For II
foot silo the sugar barrel stave is well
adapted, while cement barrels give
good slaves for 20 foot silo.
Two men work, one at the top and
the other at the bottom, to set up the
slaves of the silo rapidly. AS soon as
g stave is set In position 1t Is toenailed
at the top to the one previously set.
One barrel stave reaches across sever
al Of the silo slaves, to each Of which
Il should be nailed with a single nail.
One row OF barrel slaves Is nailed near
the top and another near the bottom
Of the silo. Southern cypress Is called
the best material for q stave silo.
Sound hemlock, free from knots, Is the
cheapest satisfactory material. For q
silo II feet or less in diameter slaves
should be 2 by 4 unbeveled, not
tongoed nor grooved, or by slightly
beyessd 70 conform to the circular
shape Of the silo. Where the diameter
Of the silo is more than IL feet, 2 by
g slaves are recommended, neither
beveied, tongued nor grooved, but sur
faced on the inside, and hemlock
should be planed on both sides.
The form OF door recommended lie
shown in the second cut, together with
side view Of stave with saw cuts
for door and cleats bolted on the out
side. The doors may be sawed out
wherever convenience suggests, bus
the lower door should be 1nade be-
tween the second and third hoops from
the bottom and the other doors In ev-
cry second space between hoops, ex-
cept that no door is needed at the top.

the saving started Ito save boring
auger holes) when the slaves are set
up. The door Is usually 2 by 21a feet.
Cleats Of by 3 inch stuff are sawed
out with proper curve to fit and are
bolted on the outside of the silo at the
top and bottom Of the part which is to
be the door, after which the door is
cut. To prevent any entrance of air
tarred paper is placed at the top and
bottom Of the door before the silo is
filed.
For the round silo fve-eighths inch
iron or steel rods usually serve as
hoops. These are in three sections for
a IL foot diameter silo and four Sec
lions for 16 foot or more. The hoops
may pass through by uprights and
be fastened with nuts and washers.
Hoops are drawn fairly tight, but not
entirely so, and staples driven over
them to prevent them from sagging
when the silo is empty. After the silo
is filed if the swelling Of the wood
(from moisture absorbed) causes too
great strain on the hoops they can be
loosened as may be necessary.
