WIN. III. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-7Dear Sir:-I have inst yis-
tied the "Centinela and Saucal Redondan
Rancho, and driven overthe land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility ofsoil
beauty of location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity of climate. For purposes of
colonization, know of no large body of land
so near a growing commercial centre, in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, TO equal it. No part of it
is unavailable for farms, orchards or homes
steads. Itcan be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hunered acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient. The land is
subject to easy Irrigation; and can vouch for
the fact that 1t Will produce anything that
fiourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. II Is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years, suchsis the
extraordinary influx OF Immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success in your undertaking,
am very truly yours,
]. ROSS BROWNE.

Pet Birds.

The estimated number of canaries
imported into the different ports of
America prior to 1871 is 100000; in
1912 there were imported $50, 900; in
1928, 100000; in 1884, 100000
total number imported, 100000. The
number of birds yearly raised in Amer
lea about equals the number lost
through various causes, SO that the
total Of 900, 600 is substantially correct
for the number of canaries now in this
country. Of all other birds, both of
song and plumage, there are about
100, 900, making the grand total of cage
birds of all kinds in America 1000, 900,
The following estimate of seed con-
sumed is based on actual observation
Of the amount of feed fed to one hum
dred canaries: Clear canary seed, IT,
600 bushels; rape seed, %, $50 bushels !;
hemp seed, $3.50 bushels. This gives
total OF 10000 bushels, which cost
the owners Of the birds, at retail price,
per annum, 81 223 900. The other
100000 birds consume in bushels, per
annum, of various seeds, comprising
millet, NAV, lettuce, radda, cracked corn
and wheat, fully 1875 bushels, which
cost $150,000, making a grand total of
bushels consumed per year, LIZA, 75O,
costing So, 373, 900.

The Chained Fox.

A fox that had been caught young
was kept chained in yard, and became
SO tame that fowls and geese approached
it without fear. -oA hrs
"Pretty thing" said mistress, cit
does no harm. It is cruel to keep it
chained" "-
So she unbuckled it's collar and let it
run about. Scarcely, however, had she
turned her back than she heard a. great
clucking from her poultry. Looking
around, she saw the fox scampering off
with her plump pet pullet thrown over
his shoulder
"You treacherous, ungrateful little
villain p cried the woman, "and l
thought you were SO geod."
so / was, MISTRESS" said the fox,
cas- long as was chained"
There are many little foxes that need
claiming. There is the put-off-study-
ng-your-lesson-till- -last-minute fox
that runs off with your good marks at
school Master Reynard "speak- with
out-thinking," which is always getting
it's owner into trouble !; and Sly boots
" nobody-will -see-you-do-it." Chain
them up! Chain them up with strong
yet tender chords of loving discipline.
That's the only way to manage them.

Sand Pies.

st. Petersburg, the capital of Russia,
is the haven for children who have q
propensity for making mud and sand
pies. In many of the small public
parks of that city there are, here and
there, large open spaces covered with
gravel. Every morning in each Of these
spaces may be seen a large pile OF sand,
cone-shaped, about 4 feet high and 6
feet in diameter at the base. After
breakfast all the children of the neigh
borhood, equipped with little spades,
hatchets, and wagons, repair to these
cones and employ themselves in dig
ging them down and scattering the
material, according to their fancy, over
the gravel spaces. The next morning
the cones are all ready for another as
sault. The city government provides
the sand, and has it piled up in the cones
each night. The result of this simple
plan is that the children acquire fond
ness for exercise and labor, and get that
healthful open air amusement SO essen
tial to their vitality IN city. Perhaps
they always get the usual maternal
spanking for soiling their clothing, but
this is one of the sweets of the halcyon
days of childhood that can be looked

MEDICAL MANIAos. There are num-
bers of medical men so welded to the
old formulas, that all changes seem to
them Like innovations. These medical
maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of
much mischief in this practical age.
While the VINEGAR Buffers are curing
Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti-
patton, and countless other diseases that
defy the remedies of the pharmacopmia,
it is impossible to thrust down the
throats of intelligent inyalids !" heroic !"
doses of mineral poison, or to persuade
them to take adulterated alcohol, i'm
pregnated with cheap astringents, as a
:" healing balm " or a balsamic prep
aration." VINEGAR BIrTEEs, a. pure bo-5
tanical tonic and alternative, guiltless of
the curse of distilled or fermented
liquor, is actually accomplishing what
the mineral and alcoholic cure mongers
have So necessarily promised but have
never yet performed. Under these Cir
cumstances it is no wonder that this
medicine has taken precedence of all
those burning fluids mis- called tonics.
