The mildness of the weather is unfa.
vorable to the demand for warm, thick
wooden clothes. For this reason there
will be large stock left unsold, which
next season will be out of date and
style. and, of course, to be sold at loss
All these losses will depress the prices of
our woods, and prevent that confidence
in the wooden market that will warrant
manufacturers freely placing their goods
on the market. 1t is demand that gives
life to all markets.

Alfalfa in caIifsra,s.

| EDITOR RURAL WORLD: After two
months residence in this State, in which
time I have tfken particular care to
gather all the information possible re.
garding the culture of alfalfa-the fol-
lowing is the result of my observations:
am well satisfied that it will do as well
in Kansas and Missouri, also the Indian
Territory, as here. 1t averages from six
to ten tons to the acre, according to the
locality, and where it can be irrigated, of
course produces the most. The amount
of hay produced per acre is almost in
credible in some parts of California. For
instance, Mr.. E. J. Baldwin, the million
aire, informed me that piece of land
near Los Angeles produced eighteen
tons to the acre in one year.
But one one thing is to be considered.
IL grows all the year, and in southern
California can be harvested nearly every
month in the year, where they can >irri-
gate it. 1t does fine in sandy loan.
The valleys of the Kansas. Missouri and
Arkansas rivers are we'll adopted to al
falfa culture. 1t does not do well on
gumbo or clay land, but must have loose
ground for its long tap root. Here it
kills out all weeds and takes full posses
sion. l send you some specimens cut to-
day-also some burr clover, grass that
does well here, and is much liked. l
propose to try it in Kansas.
One thing l am satisfied. of-that is, if
Kansas could get alfalfa well started
through the State, the drouth would lose
its terrors, as the long root going down
ten or twelve feet, gathering plenty of
moisture the dryest seasons we may have.
On my return shall bring some seed
home, and shall be prepared to furnish,
at cost price, in small quantities, to
farmers where am satisfied they are not
buying to sell again. 3. F. AKERs.

The Oyster Plant.

Oysters are cheap enough and abund-
ant enough in all conscience; and there
is little need of us who live in great
oyster centers of trade talking about a
substitute. Still there are some who do
not like oysters, and vegetarians who
won't eat oysters, and once in a while
some one who cannot get oysters, and to
all these the satisfy or oyster plant is a
great blessing. There are, however,
very few who can grow it we'll, and it is
by no means uncommon to hear people
say that their attempts to grow it have
been time and money thrown away.
So far as our experience goes it is no
use to try to grow satisfy on high, dry
ground. What are called early gardens
are not spots to try to grow this vegeta-
BILE. 1t must have cool ground; aud
then we think it likes a heavy rich
ground rather than light one. The
Jerseymen bring it to market sometimes
in tolerably good condition, and we are
apt to associate every Jersey crop with
rich, damp sand. However this may be
We have no doubt that in the ordinary
garden soils heavy one is much better
for satisfy than light one.
And then it must be sown very early.
It takes time to grow to good size, and
needs the whole season to do it in. 1t is
not at all tender plant. A little frost
is laughed at: and so no one need fear to
SOW it as early as it can be got in for fear
cold weather may follow the sowing

We talk OF pretty women, a. If they,
Of all others, were the elect rs it wo-
mans sole claim to admiration rested on
her possession Of fine eyes or luxuriant
hair. rs she pretty?' is the first ques-
ton asked concerning anew acquaintance,
as though that embraced the whole sub
ject. Ii man likes a woman he gener-
ally considers her pretty, for the term
is merely conventional. \ pretty woman,
in the private lexicon OF Insecurity,
signifies a woman interesting from what
ever cause. Who has not known women
to he called pretty that could hardly
boast of a single handsome feature? Who
has not been acquainted with those
enjoying a wide reputation for prettness
that had almost any other than q physical
charm? She who has distinctly graceful
manner, or an elegant air, or fine tact,
or a talent for conversation, or quick
svmpathies, or cordial ways, Or the art Of
listening well, albeit plain in face and
of ordinary figure, IS frequently styled
pretty, and she adjective is repeated
until 1t is fastened upon and constantly
associated with her. Merely pretty
women do not rule society-peyer did,
and never will When beauty is allied
to pleasant manners, or accomplishments,
tact, quick wit, then indeed it is all.
powerful otherwise, a really plain
woman who has conspicuous graces Of
mind and manner will prove more than
match for her beautiful, insipid sisters.

In the Arabian Nights is the story Of
mountain Of load stone which drew
towards it. by its tremendous power Of
attraction, every piece of iron that was
brought within the range Of its influence
Even ships at sea, passing near the shore
Of the land where that mountain was, felt
its force on their anchors and chains and
bars, 50 that they We're irresi.tibly drawn
closer to it, until the very bolts and nails
started from the beams and planks Of the
doomed vessels, and fastened themselves
on the sides Of the destroying mountain,
while the ships fell in pieces in consa
sequence, and their passengers were lost
in the great sea. Prudent sailors gave
that shore a wide berth. It would have
been criminal folly for them to 90 nearer
to it than was needful. But the danger
from that tabled mountain was less than
is the peril from Intoxicating drinks.
