Promotion t • Fruit.
Tor mildew on grape vines, dust on
flowers of sulphur, either early in the
morning while the dew is on, or after a
shower while the foliage is wet. For the
grape vine beetle, shaking the vine early
in the morning, wili bring them to the
ground, when they can very readily be
destroyed. Spreading a clo h or piece
of paper u- der the vines will aid material¬
ly in catching them. Slacked lime
sprinkled over the foliage will destroy
the larvae. P.ant-lice of all kinds can be
destroyed by dipping the plant or part
affected into kerosene and sour milk,
one part kerosene to three of milk.
Sprinkling with strong tobacco water is
also rec '(amended. For the strawberry
leaf roller the wisest plan, if they
have become firmly established, is to
plow under after the fruit is taken off
and set out a new planting. If taken in
hand early eno igh h md-picking may
destroy them, but it requ rescons derable
care. For rust, either with the currant
or gooseberry, mulching with coal ashes
is strongly recommended. I have never
had any trouble on this score, as I ha^e
made it a rule to mulch well around
th.se plants soon after setting out.—

Picking and Storing Apple*.
Hand picking should always be the
rule for winter apples. Varieties that
ripen ^ irregular'v ® -o ought to be £ gathered
accordingly. Generally speaking, the
later sorts should be left on the tree until
late, so as to give them opportunity to
fully color up. Before picking b <Wns it
U
in the orchard or near by for the tempor
ary storing of the fruit, unless there are
two sets of hands for sorting and pack
ing as fast as the fruit is gathered. Ap
pics keep longest if tree from atmospheric
moisture when taken from the trees,
Small baskets holding half a bushel each
and suspended r from a Look on the lad
der , are mure convenient and ie*s iiaoie
to hruhe the fruit than bags.
Once gathere i, the apples should be
securely protected from sun and storm*
until they are sorted. Many farmers who
have fruit houses dolav sort.ng and pack
ing until the app oaeh of col 1 weather.
Tue be*t method is to sort the fruit ira
me liately, an i lay all that is sound care¬
fully :nto right barrels, shaking the Lar
rels gently two or three times during the
pr icess of iili.n;, to insure the apples
packing closely; they may then be tight¬
ly headed, w.th the head suffi ieutly
pres-ed and a cured to avoid all move
meat of l he app’.;-i inside t ;e barrel.
R.ght here is generally the neglect. TT_ iue
barrels should be placed on their sides
an i not stored away until trecz.ug
weather.
The fiafett W to IJlvo Reel#
Alien Pringle says; “The safest and
best way to hive a swarm of bees is, of
cour.vo, the way I myself do it. Every
old bee-keep r has the ‘best plan,’ and
here’s mine. I, ‘ol course,’ keep all my
queens , lipped. I say ‘of course,’ be
Cause I think every first-rate bee-keeper
clips his queens, the non-clippers to the
contrary, notwithstanding. When a
•warm is seen to be issuing I take a little
wire cage to the swarming colony, and u-u
ally find the queen just in front of the hive
trying to fly. The open end of the wire
cage ia put over her, when she immedi¬
ately crawls up into it aud ia abut in.
Then as soon as the swarm is all out I
clo*e the entrance of the old colony and
turn it round facing the opposite direc
tion and two or throe feet from where it
stood. I then p,ace my hive for lLc new

Th‘* occupies . from three to five nun

two may be issuing, when they can be
treated in the same way on the double
quick. By this short aud easy method I
have hived as many as eight or ten
swarms in about fifteen minutes. If three
or four * are out . at . and ,
coming once, you
have no tents to put a over ai them to . catch ,

two or three feet, and as soon as you get

have your hives ready and bandy vou’can bv as
every bee-keeper ought to nave,

almost incredibly short t.me, even though
taey all come out at once.
H u Mauu rs.
No one who has but a sma’l gard a,or
even a flowrr bed, should be wasteful of
the manure fro n tile fowl roosts, for when
properly manipuhtt d and ju iiciotisiy
applied to vegetation, tho ben-fits de¬
rived from its application are very sat s
fac ory indeed. When it is known that
hen manure ran ts with Al guano as a
fertilizer, it does seem to us strange that
more a t< atmn is not paid to Collecting
an 1 applying it.
Toe one essnfial in keeping hen man
are so as to real z ■ the greatest g-'»od
fro n it is to keep it dry, under cover,
wheie the rains and sun will not de-troy
and remov..- its v. u.tble, thougli volatile,
quality. The poultry house should be
strewn with loam, pulveiiz.'d clay, or
sand as often as is nete-sary to pre-erve
cleanliness an! to absor tiie moist uie.
Dry str et d.rt wiii real ly act as an ab
sorbent, as it i- very thorougly pulver¬
ized b the whci s of carnages. 7 Every
week clean up the floor of the house,
putting the manure into barrels, which
6hou d be remove l to -omt convenient
shed where the content* c in l»e kept dry.
After the miiure has been remove 1 give
the flior a goo i sprinkling with the dry
roftd dust, to receive future droppings.
By continuing this plan you will, at th*
end of a few months, have quite a ool
lection of the richest kind of manure.
If you have no garden or lawn, *r if
you have plenty of other fertilizers, you
can sell your h n manure for forty or
fifty cents a bushel to the tanners; but
in this case, instead of being mixed with
earth, it must be kept pure. Some
poultrymen derive quite a revenue irom
their sales of the droppings for tanning
purposes, and find it convenient to have
shelves arranged under the perches,
which are regularly scraped every m vra
ing. Thirty or forty cents a bushel is
the price commonly paid, and the In¬
come from this source goes qu te s wst
towards defraying the cost of the grain
consumed by the fowls. Hen manure
must not be allowed to decompose or
ferment before being sent to the tanner,
as it* value in preparing leather depends
on its being crude. Farmers and gar¬
deners generally pay about $1 per bar¬
rel for hen manure for a fertilizer. This
price presupposes a very little dry earth
mixed with the droppings, as will gen
erall • be the case, but not much, 'the
manure being nearly pure .—Poultry

crape Tines From cuttings.
No kind of wood will more easily grow
from the eys than the grape vine. For
,v- this reason _____.. the rapid propagation __ of . new
varieties is a very easy matteT. The
nurserymen use single-eye cuttings in
greenhouses, and this is a very good way
wherever bottom v heat * _ can k be furnished. t „ a
But all this trouble and expense are not
needed, provided the right course is
; taken and enough buds or eyes left on
E,™ done,
j rely entirely on the single-eye method.
j It is only used, in fact, for new vari
cti s, when wood is scaroe and it is de
suable to increase the vines as fast as
possible. Cu tings set in the open
ground should be prepared early in the
spring, leaving two or, at most, three

Light Coins.
The following notice has been posted
on the buiietm-board of the sub
Treasury ;
“On and after August 1, 1886, all
gold coin below legal weight will, under
instructions received from the Secretary
of the Treasury, be stamped “light, as
the same is presented at the sub-Trea*
ury.
The necessity for this new rule, as ex
plained at the sub-Treasury, is this:
There is a law which fixes the coin
“limit of tolerance”—the point to which
coins may be worn or abraded and st.ll
be worth their face value—at one-half of
1 per cent. This means that when a
gold dollar in the course of its use loses
one one-half cent of its value in weight
it ceases to be worth II as a legal tender,
and is worth only its weight as gold mer¬
chandise. Until about four years ago it
was a rule of the officers at the New
York sub-Treasury to stamp all coins
outside of the limit of tolerance with a
letter “L,” signifying that they were of
Ught weight
But depositors raised an outcry against
the multilation of national coins, and an
order came from Washington directing
the sub-treasury hereto quit its stamp
ing busiDess . T!le result was thatj 9
though light-weight . 1A
coins were onee re¬
jected at the sub-treasury, they still kept
coming in a regular stream. The same
abraded coin would be offered over and
over again four or five times during one
week. u rru There was nothing a to distinguish
® &
,, their . v light u weight, . * . and , often they were
detected , , only . . because the , clerks of the
sub-treasury, with their delicate touch,
the result of years of practice, could dc
tect tect the me lightness lightness of ol wciriit weight, when when to to an an
ordinary business man the coin would
I i* have noth,n ,t • S 10 lts . a PP^>ance out of the
ordinary. Often it happened that in one
bag of gold coins the abrasion of the
P ieces wil > make a total of $15 or more
under tbe weight value, though the
loss to each coin is scarcely perceptible.

An Old Splinter.
Recently Dr A. T. Hudson extracted
a splinter one inch long and one eighth
of an neh in thickness from the hand of
Janies Bind of trinity county. Mr.
Bard is nu old soldier and served on the
Union side during the civil war. He
participated in an engagement in July,
1803 and while in the act of aiming his
musket a bullet from the enemy’s ranks
struck the st ck of the musket and shat
tered it. He was wounded in the palm
of liia hand, and it was supposed flesh. that The the
bullet had longed in the time
wound soon healed, aud for a long
caused no trou fie or pain. After serv
ing through the war Mr. Bard came to
California and settled in Trinity county,
where he has since resided,
Of late his hand has caused him con¬
sidcrable trouble, especially when stoop
ing to pick up anything, and he was ad
vised by a local physician to have an ope
ration performed upon it, but he did not
feel able to stand the expense. Mr. Bard
takes considerable interest in Grand
Army matters. He is very patriotic, and
has a right to be, in as much ns he parti
cipated in fifty-two battles and skirmish
es during the late war. He was bound to
attend the encampment at San Francisco,
and to raise the requisite funds sold a
cow for $50. While in San Francisco he
met Dr. A. T. Hudson of this city. The
Doctor also advised an operation on the
ailing hand, and learning that Mr. Bard
was not able to stand the expense, he
magnanimously offered to perform the
operation gratuitously if Mr. Bard would
come to Stockton, and the latter accord
ingly came. Dr. Hudson re-opened the
wound aud probed it, and instead of
finding a bullet, as was expected, found
the splinter above described. It was a
piece of the old musket stock, and had
remained imbedded in the man’s flesh
for twenty-three years, and was in a good
state of preservation. Mr. Bard’s hand
will soon be all right again. He is very
