Irish Looking for African Market.
Reports from ireland indicate that
the Irish are reaching out for the
South African market. In some parts
of South Africa butter is reported as
selling at So cents per pound and to BIZ
of inferior quality even at that price
The Irish creamerymen and dairymen
think they have as good chance to
take this market as any others. They
claim that state aid to foreign dairy
men is preventing large sales of Irish
butter in England They would there
fore look elsewhere. The queer thing
to a distant observer is that among the
competitors that are driving the Irish
butter out of the English market are
enumerated the Australians. Now If
the Australians can send butter all the
way to London and successfully COM
pete with Irish butter, what will pre-
vent the Australians doing the same
thing in South Africa? To us it does
not look possible for the Irish to wage
a successful warfare of this kind in a
field thousands of miles from Ireland
when they cannot meet the same com
petition at their own doors.

shooting a man should make him more

Poultry Points Picked up.

If man wants to show birds he
must raise only good stock and that
in abundance The man that raises
only a dozen birds year stands less
chance of having winning birds than
does the man that can raise hundreds.
In that case he finds 1t easy to get
together a few exceptional birds. In
this connection we must remark that
in case the breeder is looking to con-
tests in the show room he will need
to make study of the points of birds
himself that he may when he goes to
the show take only his very best in
stead of inferior stock.
Gull rigidly. Always be on the look
out for the poorest specimens of birds
and get rid of them as soon as found
and as fast as found. To permit the
culls to go right on producing more
culls or what should be culls is mis-
take. The best thing to do with culls
is to send them to the butcher, and If
there is danger of his selling them for
breeders send them to him dressed.
Hens should be made to lay when
eggs are high in price, This can be
done, but it requires attention to
something more than feeding. The
breeding must be looked after. The
hens must be raised from early spring
chicks and must be forced forward
from birth to maturity.
One should not attempt to winter
more fowls than can be comfortably
housed. Too many birds in a house
makes it extremely difficult to keen
the air pure or the floors clean. Lice
and disease are encouraged. The at
tempt to do this usually results in dis
aster Of some kind.
Eggs should be sold to private Gus
toners. If possible, as In that way the
farmer takes to himself the middle
mans profits. Besides. private Gus

MONEY AND LUXURY.
They Are the Curse Of Modern French
Women.

"The enemy of the modern woman in
France Is the love of luxury and of
money"
Thus spoke NJ. Hugues lie Roux, the
celebrated French journalist and critic,
In one of the series of lectures in
French which he is delivering at the
University of Pennsylvania. He be-
lieves that this unnatural love destroys
her domestic happiness. The system of
marrying for money, he says, has
created what is sometimes known as
the third seN," |. O., the woman who
does not want to rear any children.
The result of this system has pro-
duced n class of young women who
at thirty are unmarried and likely to
remain so. Several years ago NJ. lie
Rouy established Il bureau in Paris for
giving advice to unmarried women
and nearly NIL of the hundreds of wo-
men who came to him had the same
story to tell. |. e., that they We're well
bred, left school at twenty, attended
the thcater, opera, balls, etc, postpon-
ing marriage until twenty-five years
old. always expecting to marry, but
not quite deciding to do so. AT this
period they invariably began to pity
the innocent young girls who married
and began to assume the cares of their
sex. The men they saw pleased them
, less and less. They were unable to
awaken the sentiment of love for them
and at last they found themselves al

MINING NOTES.

SARGENT-The bond on the Sargent
quartz mine, at Middle Bar, which was
given by Mrs. A. j. Sargent to Judge
Rust, has been assigned to W. B.
Thomas, superintendent of the Central
Eureka at Sutter Creek. The option
runs for four years, and the purchase
price is $4,000. Mr.. Thomas has
bonded the property in the interest of
some capitalists. While nothing is
said in the bond about the prosecution
OF work, it is the belief that operations
will be commenced at once, as soon as
arrangements can be made to that end.
The sum of $50 is to be paid monthly,
commencing in May, and these month
ly instalments are to be credited on
the purchase price. The Sargent claim
is situated close to the river, and near
ly opposite the Gwin mine gulch. 1t
has been prospected to some extent,
with very fattering indications.
BUNKER HILL-The DEVELOPMENTS
In this mine have recently been of
more encouraging character. A body
OF milling ore was struck in the drift
at the 800 level, as heretofore reported.
The dimensions of this ore body are
undetermined. Last week seam of
milling ore, 2 feet wide, was struck at
the l4OO foot level. 1t is said to be of
good quality, estimated at from SIS to
S20 per ton.

Affirmed by Supreme Court.

The supreme court last week affirmed
the decision of the superior court of
Amador county in the case of j.,
Bernardis VS.. Estate of George Allen.
The case was tried about two years
ago, and involved the sum of S15, 600.
being one half the purchase price paid
by the Baliol Mining Co. for the Max
imillan mine. Bernardis claimed that
he worked on the Maximillan claim
under verbal agreement of partner
ship with George Allen, who owned
the property. He spent considerable
money and labor in development of the
claim, and that it was owing to his
labor that the property was opened up
so that sale was effected. No written
agreement was entered into setting
forth the terms under which Bernardis
was operating. George Allen died, and
the estate was administered upon by
Mrs. Allen, who declined to recognize
Bernardis' claim for one half the pur-
chase price. Suit was brought, and the
matter hinged on the question of part
nership. The Court held that the
claim of partnership was not establish
ed, and gave Judgment for defendant,
and the supreme court has now affirm
ed that decision.
