Improving the Farm Home.
While most farm homes are lacking
in the conveniences that make for
comfort, 1t is possible for them to have
many Of these conveniences at small
cost Outlines the man Of the house
does not consider how very inconven-
lent the woman has 1t, SO cannot see
the necessity of putting in improve
ments in the house, while with his own
work he is fully alive to the value Of
labor-saving devices.
How many steps the housewife must
take in her daily tasks that might be
saved with little rearranging of the
kitchen and other rooms Of the house !!
For instance, the cistern or well Is usu-
ally located at some distance from the
house and the woman is the one who
usually has to carry the water. At a
small cost pump can be placed in the
kitchen, SO that with the same amount
of pumping she can get the water with
out walking for it. Then, too, sink
conveniently located in the kitchen Is
a convenience often lacking in the farm
house.
1t is now possible to arrange wa
ter supply in the house at compare
lively small cost, so that running wa
ter, both hot and cold, can be had in
any part of the house. This makes II
possible to put in bathrooms lux.
ury that has almost become necessity
with the city householder.
To save the wifes steps and her
strength is to save her health. Stor
and think how many miles the house
wife in the ordinary farm home must
walk in preparing the three meals q
day. In all justice the march of agri
cultural improvements should not over
look the welfare of the farmers better
half. A little rearranging and improv.
ing will easily make things more con
venient and add comfort and happi
ness for all concerned.-Goodall'
Farmer.

According to recent experiments by
Stanilas Tetard, a widely known
French agriculturist, wheat and other
cereals can be protected against the
ravages of crows, which are particu-
larly fond Of the grain when its sprouts
are just pushing above the ground, by
treating the seeds before they are
sown with mixture Of coal tar, petro-
leum and picnic acid. This treatment,
which delays the growth Of the seed for
a day or two, but causes no damage,
imparts an odor which is insufferable
to the crows, but which disappears
after the sprouts have attained larg-
er growth, when they are no longer
subject to attack.

Feed for Horses,

A colt or horse will live and develop
on good hay alone. He will thrive bet
ter upon a two-third ration of hay and
the rest straw. If given a ration OF
oats with these he will still do better
If this grain ration will be changed
occasionally to corn and bran, ground
barley, ETC., the advantages of mixed
ration will be strongly in evidence.

PANIC HOLIDAYS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
"No Different From Other
Days." Is Verdict of State
Supreme Bench

According to a decision rendered by
the supreme court yesterday the spe-
cial holidays declared last fall by Gov
ernor Gillett were not holidays at all,
as the legislative act authorizing them
was class legislation and consequently
void.
The decision was rendered on the
petition of M. n. Diepenbrock for a
writ of prohibition to determine the
validity of section 135 of the code of
civil procedure as amended November
q, 1907, when the special holiday
legislation was enacted. The original
section declared that the superior
courts of the state should be always
open Qegal holidays and non-judicial
days excepted), but injunctions and
writs of prohibition could be issued
and served on legal holidays and non
judicial days. By the amendment to
the original section all court business,
except the enforcement of contracts
involving the payment of money, was
permitted.
The court holds that the exception
is clearly class legislation, as all debt
ors were protected from suit at the
will of the governor, and no situation
could be extraordinary enough to JUS
tify such a course.
This decision of the supreme court
makes all business of whatever nature
carried on at that time perfectly legal
as the holidays had no existence in the
eye of the law.

LARRY" GULL LOST IN
SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS
Son Goes to Ranch on Waddell
Creek to Join Search by
Sheriff

Lawrence C. Gull, for 20 years past
a prominent citizen and real estate
man of the Mission, has been lost in
the Santa Cruz mountains since last
Sunday, and Mrs Gull at their home,
PITT Twenty-fourth street, had nearly
given UP hope last night of his being
found alive. His eldest son, Lawrence
went yesterday to the ranch of George
Smith on Waddell creek, where his
father had been staying, to join the
all day and all night search along the
stream and through the woods which
the sheriff from Santa Cruz and the sol
diers from the Big basin reservation
have been making.
The only hope the family cherish still
is that Gull may be found at some iso-
lated ranchhouse or that he has crossed
into the Big basin region. Gull had no
tendency to structural heart failure and
his friends fear only that some acci-
dent may have befallen him.
With the rancher Smith he had gone
out fishing Sunday morning, but the
latter, wearying OF the sport returned
to the house in advance and did not
become alarmed until nightfall at Cults
nonappearance. Tuesday he wrote the
family, but on account of the inaccessi-
biIity of the region. they did not hear

WIFE SPURNS Her
KNEfLING HUSBAND
Plea for Forgiveness in Open
Court Fails Despite
Judges Request

In the presence of a courtroom full
of people Gaspare Dolcibella fell on
his knees yesterday and. with choking
voice, implored his wife Margarita, to
forgive him and drop the divorce pro-
ceedings she had started. They were
both standing before the rostrum of
Judge Graham, who was advising them
to forget their differences for the sake
of their three children.
Yes, think OF our children" pleaded
Dolcibella, with a sob in his throat;
and then, kneeling at his wifas feet,
with his hands stretched out to her in
appeal. he said: Forgive me and 1
Will treat you not as a wife, but will
treat you as queen. Remember, there
are three children, and they are mine
as well as yours"
Still on his knees ne begged pas
s1onately to be forgiven, but his wife
coldly replied that she had given him
too many chances and did not propose
to give him any more. Dolcibella then
stood up.
COMPELLED TO LEAVE HIM
Mrs. Dolcibella complained that her
husband was unreasonably jealous; that
he called her vile names so much so
that she had been compelled to leave
him with their three children some
weeks ago. Judge Graham ordered
Dolcibella, who combines the business
OF barber and real estate agent, to pay
his wife $50 a month alimony, and told
them to go home and talk over the mat
ter and try if they could not live to-
gether. Dolcibela took his wife's arm
as they left the courtroom, but she
drew away from him. The case will
come up for trial in four weeks If the
wife perseveres in her suit.

termined Dispute Over
Water Rights

The Lassen irrigation company the Offices
of which in San Francisco. brought suit
yesterday against A. Z. Torrey and 80 other
stock holders to have determined certain dis
putes that appear to have almost disrupted the
concern.
1t is claimed that the defendants named
in the suit filed yesterday have entered into
conspiracy to ruin the company. AS part OF
this conspiracy it is alleged that they at first
failed to take advantage of an offer to give
them one share in the company for every acre
being supplied. but that afterward. when it
was too late for the company to get the
requisite quantity Of water. they accepted the
offer, and complained because there was not
enough water 1t is alleged further that the
defendants have organized a conspiracy to ruin
the system by tapping bitches, cutting levees
and suing the company for damages.
The company claims it will cost large sum
to contest the damage suits, and sets forth
that all the matters in dispute can be adjudi-
Gated by the suit filed in this county. The
prayer is for the RECESSION Of the issuance of
stock to the defendants and for an injunction
restraining the stock holders from cutting levees
and tapping bitches.

PAYS FOR WINDOW, BUT

Member of Gang Now Must
Face Punishment Despite
Mythical "PuII,

While endeavoring to beat woman,
Hugo Morton, one of a gang of disrep-
utable characters usually hanging
around California and Kearny streets,
became mixed up with a plate glass
window of a building in that vicinity
and put his fist through it. He was
arrested by Captain Jules Callundan
of Morse's patrol and turned over to
Policeman w. I. Burns, who took him
to the harbor hospital to have his
wounded hand dressed and then
charged him with malicious mischief.
Morton was bailed out by the no.
torious Billy Lyons and seemed to
think that because of a mythical
pull" he would not have to stand any
punishment. When his case was
called in court yesterday his attorney
showed Police Judge Conlan a receipt
for SIS in payment for the broken
window.
The circumstances in this case,'
said the court, demand a sterner pun
ishment, and If this man thinks he
can escape by paying for the broken
window he is badly mistaken. He
broke the law as we'll as the window
and must pay for both"
Morton will be called up again this
morning to receive his sentence.
