The Department of Agriculture Of
ten receives communications from
farmers who are maintaining that the
practical agriculturist does not have
much faith in experiments conducted
at experiment stations, as they are
on such a small scale that great
weight cannot be attached to the re-
suits. The statement is made that
were these experiments made on a
large scale or under conditions such
as confront the farmer himself, they
might prove more valuable. Taking
this standpoint as a rule to follow the

DOUBLE YOIked Eggs.

Squire Meadows, who lived down at
Four Corners, was classed as "mean
old son-of-a-gun." He didn't mind
buying new farm implements every
year and allowing them to rust and
ruin out in the winter rains and SHOWS,
but he would not buy his wife a sew
ing machine or a DISTINGUISHING ma
chine to lessen the labors of house
work. She was never allowed SPEND
ing money, and whenever anything
necessary was wanted for the house
the Squire always went himself to the
village store and made trade of some
farm stuff for the article desired.
One day the good wife wanted a
package of darning needles, and told
her husband so.
"Now, Abigail" he said, "what's
Their use of gettin' so 'strava CANT?
Winters coming on, an thar's that
fodder cutter ter buy: can't yer get

The argument ended by n reduction
to n single needle. Squire Meadows
took n fresh laid egg down to the coun-
try store and inquired OF the store
Keeper whether he would trade a
darning needle for an egg. The owner
was willing and the trade was made.
Now 1T seems that this store, in adj
dition to being n grocery, dry goods
establishment and post office. was
also one where liquid refreshments
were dispensed. The owner was
known as n man of great cordiality
TO his customers, often inviting them
to treat on him."
The Squire, having made the trade,
looked around at the array of bottles

Sewer Being Laid.

Six men were started to work
Monday morning digging trenches to
lay the sewer pipe along the east side
of Main street from the National
hotel to the MareIia corner, and
thence up Court. street, as far as
Summit street. The dumping place
is below the junction of the south
and middle fork of jackson creek, in
the rear of the stage stable. The pipe
is eight inches in diameter. V. S.
GarbaIini is supervising the work.
The pipe will be laid fully three feet
from the surface; in some places con-
siderably deeper. Along Main street
the ground is found to be all soft,
made ground, as soon as the thin
coating of rock on the surface is
penetrated. The men are employed
in digging, and the excavation part
will be completed in a few days.

School Picnic.

In spite of the threatening weather
and the ban of the pedagogues, last
Sunday turned out to be an ideal day
to celebrate the postponed joint school
picnic of Clinton and Middle Fork.
The large crowd began to arrive on
the picnic grounds at Clinton early
in the morning, and by noon the
number reached to hundreds. The
selection of the grounds was a good
one as there we're many large trees to
afford shelter for the jovial crowd.
Ice cream and many other thirst
allaying beverages we're served to the
people gratis. A swell raviola
luncheon was spread at 80. The
Pine Grove brass band furnished
music for the occasion. During the
intermission the air was filled with
the harmonious music, with grapha-
phones and other instruments galore.
At 230 the Pine Grove boys crossed
bats with the Mi iddle Fork nine. The
game was very exciting, and ended a
victory for Pine Grove by a good
margin. 1he last hours of the day
were spent in tripping the light
fantastic by those who desired to
dance. The good wishes of the
crowd were expressed for the teachers
of the respective districts. who gave
the people the idea of picnic. All
left stating that they had pleasant
time. Common Sense.

would weigh about 275 pounds. After
roping the trunk it was removed to
the bottom OF the stairs, loaded into
the wagon and taken to the Southern
Pacific baggage rooms and placed
upon the sills of one of the large
windows. He said just as he arrived
at the depot the same woman who
directed him to remove the trunk ap-
preached him from Weber avenue,
Just back of the waiting room of the
depot and paid him rs cents tor his
work. Mr. Barry said he told the
woman the trunk was exceptionally
heavy and that he had to hire man
to help him. 1t seems the woman
made no remarks but paid the money.

chased the rope shown the witness
and which was wrapped around the
trunk. He said she asked for %
cents worth of rope, or sufficient to
securely wrap trunk of designated
dimensions, which she had packed
with dishes. The paper and string
holding the rope purchased we're
identified by the witness as paper and
string similar to that used by the
Shaw Company.

Railroad Extension.

ID. Mccall and others have been up
in the mountains during the past
week, in the interest of the extension
of the railroad to the timber belt.
We are pleased to be able to state
that this project is neither dead nor
sleeping. The present terminus of
the l. q K. road is a great advantage
to the mineral belt in the way of
facilities to bring in supplies, and
for passenger travel, but it has little
influence in opening up the resources
OF the eastern sections the timber,
stone, and agricultural capabilities
of that region. For timber, especi-
ally there is now, and will be for
years, an immense demand. With a
railroad to tap that belt. Amador
county would be in a position to
command fair share of that trade.
The prosperity of county depends
more upon its export than import
trade. The export brings money to
our people; import trade means the
outflow of wealth. Mr. Mccall is en-
ergetically working to build up the
export trade. Everyone having the
welfare of Amador county at heart
will wish him and his fellow pro
jectors success in this venture.
