and leave enough room for setting the
threshing-machine between and so that the
sun may have access to the sides. Thus
four ricks may be placed in pairs, with the
ends together, yielding 400 or 500 bushels
of wheat or 800 to 1900 bushels of oats if
well filled, and threshed at one setting of
the machine. They should be left far
enough apart so that the machine may be
set in any direction as the occasion re-
quires. Grain is often poorly cleaned or
wasted, and the straw is handled with a
great deal of extra labor by not being able
to work with the wind and not. against
it. Ten feet wide and twenty five feet long
is foundation enough to erect the largest
sized rick.
By carefully pursuing the following
plan, the stackers may perform the work

around the foundation upon the ground,

published crop reports from thirty of the
most important counties in the State, from
which the following facts are deduced:
Winter wheat, now nearly all harvested,
shows a splendid crop, in many portions
of the State the best ever known. The
acreage is fully up to the average, while
more bushels to the acre are realized than
was anticipated. Spring wheat will be
more than usual in many places. The
chinch- bug has destroyed whole fields,
but this is compensated for in the excess.
i've growth in other localities. Rye will
be faircrop. 1t is noticed in the reports
that in some places the chinch-bug has at
tacke1 this crop, which is unusual.
Oats weld an abundant harvest Owing
to the high price of feed last year an un-
has grown so rank that it has lodged
badly. Barley will be about usual
crop. In some places it suffered greatly
from bugs. The hay crop all over the
State is very heavy-nearly double that of
last year. The high price of feed caused
a greater acreage to be, sown. tCorn9g gem
orally is late, and has suffered greatly by
drought. Still, with proper weather for a
few weeks the yield will be fair Pota-
toes have suffered somewhat from bugs
and drought, but taking the State as q
whole the crop will be very large. The
cranberry crop has suffered from worm.
Near Berlin, on the most important
marshes, not one-third of the crop is hoped
for. The flax crop will be almost a fail

Meeting Of the Bee Keep ers.

The Bee-Keepers Association Of Los
Angeles county met at Leck's Hall on
Saturday, the 18th of April. Mr.. A.
J. Davidson took the chair till the
President arrived. The minutes of
last meeting were read and approved.
Mr.. Davidson, as foreman Of the Com
mittee to investigate the matter of
storing and grading honey in Los An
geles, stated that the committee
judged it not advisable to incorporate
for that purpose, but each bee-keeper
ought to grade his honey into two or
three CLASSES. We should carefully
work up 4reputation for Los Angeles
honey, and by all means avoid bring
ing ID into disrepute. On motion the
report was received and the commit
tee discharged. The influence of the
late frost on bee feed was discussed at
considerable length by all present.
Mr.. Sallee, from Missouri, spoke Of
the profit of introducing new blood in
to the apiary. Mr.. Brook said Har-
bison would sell italian queens at two
dollars apiece by the hundred. Cap
tain Gordon mentioned that o Bee
Keepers Association had been organ
lied by ladies in Santa Barbara. A
discussion followed about honey ex-
tractors, in which most of the men,
bers present seemed to favor geared
extractor. sf
Mr.. Wilson moved that some one at
each meeting address the Association
on some of the 1eading,tOpices of the
h,rsinasa and Mr. Rrook WAS annoint
ed lecturer for the next meeting.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet at Leck's Hall at one O'Clock on
the third Saturday In May.

Foreign Education.

One of the fashionable follies of the
day is sending young people Of this
country to Europe to be educated. To
properly govern American youth re-
quires knowledge of their character,
which no person brought up in Europe
can possess. If there is person edu-
Gated from infancy in Europe who can
keep order in an American school
room, we hope he will send US his
name and address. Foreigners expect
in our youth the docility of children
breathing the air of monarchical insti-
tutions, political and theological;
whereas, the very atmosphere here is
charged with independence. So Amer
ican youth must be governed by rea-
son rather than authority; by man.
agement,rather than by force. Child
governing in Europe is like cattle
herding; in this country, like holding
in mettlesOme steed. Hence chill
dren sent to Europe are not governed
at all. At home they would be check
ed and guided. The consequence of
such experience, we will not call it
education, may be easily imagined.
They suffer in both intellect and
morals, besides acquiring supercili-
GUS tone that makes them odiOus for
years. We think of the East as the
seat of learning; whereas, with GER
tain exceptions, the farther East we
go, the mere studidity we shall find.
The struggle for existence in new
country cultivates keenness of intel
lect that exceeds in power the pro-
found learning which an old civiliza-
tiOn has the wealth and leisure to
afford. The one is education, the
other instruction. Westward the
course of empire takes it's way" We
have firm belief that the best college
training in the world is given on the
Atlantic, and the best common school
teaching done on the Pacific Coast of
the United States of North America.

against spring wheat flour, and aversc
to even giving it a trial. But having
once got Il taste of the snow-white
bread and biscuit made from this flour,
they wanted nothing else. Dealers
were after him to get a monopoly of the
sale of his brand, and the leading baker
Of the place drew a check for all the
money he had in bank, and told Mr..
Carlisle to send him that amount in
flour. He is baker who has been in
