California Farm Life.

There are few cozy. comfortable,
middle-class homes. The house is ell
Their magnificent country residence,
or mean, implanted redwood
shanty, though either can be occu-
pied by men immensely wealthy.
Everything seems put there adven-
titous; nothing grow out of the soil.
There are no ancient trees, no shrub
berries, no grass, Instead of homely
farmer>messes, you eat urban fare of
beefsteak and hot biscuit made with
Boston yeast-powder. You may
hope for pumpkin pie, and got can
of Baltimore oysters. There are
Oregon apples, California hams and

have milk to whiten his coffee. The
cow runs on the range and comes
home when she lists. A boy may
be dispatched for her on his tough
Little shaggy cow horse, and man
must be sent to bring the boy home.

tor-like look, a little tawdry, little

tion on it. There is no moss on the
fences; the newly-sawed boards and
posts and the houses stand out pain
fully ugly and prominent beneath
the lDvoly sky Ohio Farmer.
