Twenty years hence nearly all the
breadstutfs for export from the United
States will be produced in the country
west of the Rocky Mountains. The ex-
ception will be in the surplus produc-
ton OF corn in the Mississippi Valley.
Ohio has ceased to be great wheat
producing State. This crop is yearly
diminishing in Illinois; in Minnesota
the production this year was only about
as much as in California, where we had
one of the drvest seasons ever known.
The agriculture of all the vast region
west of the Rocky Mountains is still in
its infancy. Some If the great Terri
tories are not yet producing breadstuffs
enough for home consumption. That
was true of Oregon a few years ago.
Now there is large fleet of wheat-laden
ships sailing from her principal port
every year. Utah Territory, with the
exception of a little spot about Salt
Lake, made no show of
agricultural products. Now the
best potatoes found Vest of
the Mississippi River are produced in
Utah, and sent over to California in
large quantities for consumption. Fruit
culture has been pushed beyond the ST.
ezra. The great apple orchards will be
far up the mountains on either slope.
The culture of the grape and the wine
interest will probably be west of the ST.
ezra, although it is Just possible that we
have not vet found the best soils for the
production of wine grapes. The maxi
mum of lumber production has already
been reached in the States east of the
Mississippi. The eastern timber belt
has been explored, and most of the
lands reduced to private possession.
The timber belt of the Pacific coast.

A QUEER FIsH.-Mr. Throckmortop
one of the Fish Commissioners, gave
to the California Academy of Science.
the other evening, a specimen of fish
caught i'll the salt marshes in Marin
county. The fish looks like an ordina-
ry "bull-head" or sucker, and is prob
ably familiar in appearance to many.
Its popularity consists in it's mode of
life. Some of Mr.. Throckmorton's
land beyond Lime point is ordinary
salt marsh land, and he several times
observed Cinnamon at work at low
tide, with shovels, apparently digging
into the banks of the little creeks.
Last week he went down to see what
they were about, and was surprised
to have Chinaman answer his ques-
ton by saying he was fishing"
Fishing with shovel was a new ex-
perience to Mr.. Throckmorton, al
though he has been for many years all
enthusiastic sportsman.
On examination he found that the
bank showed numerous round holes at
about the half-tide mark, and the Chi
naman took the shovel, sliced off some
of the bank and hauled several fish
from one of the holes.
The holes are similar to those made
by swallows, and are in such posi-
tion that the entrance is under water
about half the time. The tide rises
here about six feet, and the mouths of
the holes are about three feet below
high water-mark. They go straight
into the bank a short distance and
then turn down, so that when the
tide falls below them they are still
filled with water, although the en-
trance may be two or three feet above
the water at low tide. They seem to
have more of the habits of an eel than
an ordinary fish, and the skin is also
eel-like. Mr.. Throckmorton says the
flavor of the meat is also similar to all
eel. The Chinese laborers gather
great quantities Of them at low tide
A fish living in hole in the ground
like squirrel is something new here,
we believe, nor'do we recollect Of their
having been found elsewhere

JOSH B1LL1NGs ON PETs.-Pets of all
kinds are a nooSance.
All pet children are tyrants, and
pet coon wants more kluss watching
than deakons dus.
Pet ideas are quite risky, aud pet
opinyuns, like secondhand clothing,
are wuth just what yu kan git for
them.
A pet wife soon grows to be cap
tin, and pet baby rules the whole
household.
A pet horse learns to be frisky, and
pet servant bekums cunning at the
expense of his honesty.
Pet friends are the hardest to keep,
and when yu luze them, change from
hunny to gaul, and pets of all kinds
are very fastydus.
Pet kats are an insult to the kat, and
an insult to the party who pets them
Pet snaiks are fust robbed of their
pizon, and pet eegles are safe when
stuffed and set On perch.
Stranger, if yu must have pet OF
perish, git young hedgehog-a male
one is preferable-and keep him housed
in barrel, and view thru the bung-
hole whenever yu feel lonesum, and it
this don't make yu happy, its certainly
amt pets that ails yu.

Perce nation, as nation so violated its
