Oiivs OIL.
[From the (Oal.) .semoerat.1

An Eastern paper asserts that u con-
siderable quantity OF California olive
oil Is coming into use in our hotels
and restaurants. Samples were sub
mitted to good judges, who pro-
nounced It q tirst-class article.
and we're astonished when in
formed that 1t was California
production. The oil was put up in
Los Angeles in cans and cases and was
sold ut q reduction on tho rates Of i'm
ported oil Owing to the prejudice
against home products, the agents were
obliged to initiate well-known French
brand in order to sell 1t. We believe
that the olive tree would flourish In this
section, especially In the warm belt
upon the hills overlooking tho valley.
It Is surprising that the experiment has
not before been tried.

FARM NOTES.

In Spain they are beginning to
feed cattle with forage intermin-
gled with ground bones, in order
to increase the dose of phosphate of
lime in the food.
Fall blowing is very distruc-
tive to weed seeds and hence is of
great value to gardens and all Gull
tivated plots, as thousands of weed
seeds are turned up to the surface
and with the winter frosts they are
largely destroyed. Chatham Cou-

Which is the Richest, Mornings
or Evenings Milk?

This subject las now been pat 10
the test of chemical ANALYSIS. and
the result is that the evenings milk
Is found to be the richer. Profes-
sor Boedeker analysed the milk of
a healthy COW at different periods
OF the day. The professor found
that the solids OF the evenings milk
G3 per cent exceeded those of the
morning Go per cent : while the
water contained in the fluid was
diminished from 80 per cent. to Sc
per cent. The fatty matter gra-
duaIly increases as the dav pro-
crosses. In the morning it amounts
to - per cent, at noon - per cent..
ana III the evening y per cent.
The practical Importance of this
discovery Is at once apparent ; it
develops the fact that while l6 OF.
OF mornings milk will yield but !
OF. of butter. about double the
quantity can be obtained from the
evenings milk. The caSein is also
increased IN ths evenings milk from
y to = per cent. Sugar is least
abundant at midnight Al per cent
and most plentiful at noon II per
