The Largest Tree i'm the World.

There is now on exhibition in San
Francisco one of Natures wonders in
the shape of the largest tree in the
world. This gigantic specimen of Ma
lures handiwork was discovered by
Professor Chowles, a geologist, in 1874.
1t grew on Tule river, Tulare county,
California, about seventy-fve miles
from Visalia. At Some far distant
period it's top had been broken off by
unknown forces; yet, when discovered,
it had an elevation of two hundred and
forty feet. The body Of the tree where
broken was twelve feet in diameter
which would seem to indicate that it's
original altitude had been much greater
than two hundred and forty feet. The
trunk of this colossal product of vege-
tation reached the enormous measure
ment of one hundred and eleven feet.
The huge tree IS called cold Moses"
from the fact of it having grown near a
mountain of that name, and is said to
be four thousand and eight hundred
and forty years old. There is supposed
to be nine hundred cords of wood in
the whole tree.

much matter. AS corn began to sell
higher, feed boxes were built in the
feed lot, and snapped" corn thrown in,
and no other roughness allowed. But
now nearly all feeders keep their cattle
supplied with hay, and provide warm
sheds to keep them from the storms.
Some have self-feeding boxes and feed
shelled corn. A few are getting mills
and feeding their cattle cob meal and
ground feed. Most of our feeders have
to 60 to the bank and borrow the cap
ital to buy the steers, paying from
IL to 20 per cent. interest on the
money. And it often happens that
they begin early and do no lay in q
sufficient supply of corn. The price of
corn advances; the cattle get fat enough
"to do" interest accumulates: farm
work comes on, and the feeder feels
compelled to sell at high prices that
will not make him whole for the outlay
for corn, interest and labor. The cattle
are sent to Chicago,-half fat, light
weight instead of selling for ship
pers, are sent out as feeders to Craze on
eastern pastures, where they soon be-
come first-class cattle, commanding
good prices. Our steers are mostly fed
now at two years old, coming three in
the spring they are intended for mar
ket. If they were high grades and we'll
kept, SO as to average 1900 to 1900
pounds at three years old, it would pay;
but as it is, most of them are too small
to command frst-class prices. Short
horn bulls are getting much cheaper,
and there are mora IF them than wn
had five years ago; and we may reason
ably hope that as our farmers wake up
to the necessity of enriching their
lands by keeping stock. Our cattle will
not be shipped east and the corn
shipped there to feed them (thus adding
ten-fOld to the cost of sending our sur
plus corn to market), robbing our prai-
ries of their richness, and enriching the
sterile hillsides of New England farms.
The west is wheating itself poor, be-
cause we have not grown enough cattle;
because our money lenders ask too
high a rate of interest for us to afford
to stock up on borrowed capital, and
because we are all more or less in debt,
and must look to the wheat crop, as
that will bring us the most speedy re-
turn for our labor. Let our eastern
friends feed cattle to enrich their lands
while they can, for the west will not
always allow their corn to be sent east
to fatten the steers that have been half
fed here.
