Good Chance For Splendid Investment.

The Turner estate property in Sutter
Greek has been ordered sold by the
Superior Court to the highest bidder.
The property consists of the lots on
the North side of Main street, between
Moore's hotel and Katz' IS jewelry store,
and extends back to Boston street.
There are six buildings on the lots and
they bring in a rental of $40 per month.
The property is appraised at S425O, but
ought to bring more money, as at that
figure it earns over II per cent. per
month interest.
Bids will be received orally or in
writing by the attorney of the estate,
William J. McGee.

skillful veterinarian is often the best
kind of economy.
Selecting the Mate.
The principle of advantageous mat
ing of animals is to have the defects
of the parents corrected in the progeny,
and this holds good all the way down
the line from horses to poultry. In
many cases it takes time TO accomplish
the desired result, but as a rule con-
siderable progress of the new blood to
be introduced, be it male or female.
Whatever may be the weakness in the
female, male should be selected who
is particularly strong in this respect.
If the female is small and too delicate
ly proportional, the male should be
large, strong and vigorous. If the fe-
male should be large and rough, the
sire should be compact and smooth.
With cows, the male from COW with
a good milk record mated with a fe-
male deficient in this respect will pro-
duce progeny that will make great i'm
provements in the milk record Of the
family. In brief, every female defic-
iency should be strengthened by the
introduction of male strong where the
female is weak.

The parts of beef furnishing the high
price cuts must be thickly and evenly

uniform good quality and free from
hard rolls and blubbery patches. There

Points on Using Stable Manures.
The more one learns about the soil
in its relation to growing crops the
greater the wonder is that we are but

plicity of the subject. To-day the in
telligent farmer understands fairly
we'll the chemistry of the soil, at least
in relation to the crops he grows, and
he knows why rotation of crops is
necessary to preserve the fertility of
the soil. A dozen years ago while the
majority of them knew it was neces-
sary, they did not know why. Stable
manures have long been the standby
of the farm, and in connection with
nitrogenous plants will continue to be
SO; but without the efforts to teach
the chemistry of the soil that were
made on the introduction of CONNER
ci.l fertilizers farmers would not now
understand the use of stable manures
a. wei as they do. The old plan of
blowing under deeply heavy applica-
tons of stable manure has been abol-
ished by the best farmers, for it is
now clearly known that stable manure
brings its best returns in crops on
fairly god soil when used largely as
top dressing or at most, plowed I'M
der but a shallow depth. The grow
ing plants need organic matter near
the surface of the soil and they also
require that the fertilizers in the soil
be within easy reach of the roots. AS
the tendency of the soluble plant food
is to pass downward, the deep plow-
ing under of the manure puts the
plant food in a position to pass down
ward faster than the roots of the plant
can grow and overtake it. 1t may
therefore be laid down as a principle
OF agriculture that on fairly fertile

Testing The Soil.

While it is possible for farmers 10
Gated near Experiment Stations to OBJ
tain fair test OF tue requirements
of their soils by the help of the scien-
tifc men connected with the Stations,
the only practical way to determine
the needs of the soil is by act..ai crop
test. If indications point to need Of
potash, apply it and not results. If
not satisfactory, try the potash in
combination with the phcsphoric acid
and in time you will be able to know
what combination will bring the desir-
ed results. If corn on the land treat
ed with potash and nitrogen does only
fairly well. but the wheat following
next in rotation gives a big crop, make
a record of it, and when you come to
rotation, change the proportions of
chemicals applied.
There is a simple test for lack Of
lime in the soil that may De applied
by any one. Take cup of soil, mois-
ten it with sufficient water to make
thick paste and let it stand for fif-
teen minutes. From druggist obtain
piece of blue litmus paper. Cut off
3 strip two inches long and a half
inch wide. Withe the blade of knife
insert this paper in the soil and after
1t has remained there five minutes re-
move without touching it with the
fingers or tearing it. If the paper has
turned decided red tint, lime is need
ed by the soil, the acidity in it chang
ing the color of the paper. With the
more important chemicals, however,
the only true test is experimenting
as suggested.
