ing in the alfalfa say the third year,
to come again, tends to better
original stand in alkaline soil and
to preserve the stand thereafter.
When the alfalfa gets ahead of the
cattle, which it is apt to do, Mr..
Cheney buys up calves from six to
ten months old at from five to ten
dollars each, which come in as
milk cows at about two years o d
and then readily sell at from thirty
to fifty dollars each.
The next and last case, for / find
my letter is lengthening out beyond
my expectations, is that of Mr.. w.
w. Orr, of Norwalk. Seven years
ago Mr.. Orr bought forty acres Of
land on credit at twenty dollars
per acre, or eight hundred dollars
for the tract. One half the land is
good; the other half is so strongly
alkaline that salt grass is about ali
that it does or will produce. The
good one-half of the forty acres is
devoted to alfalfa, vegetables and a
few other products. Mr.. Orr started
seven years ago with this land, two
COWS, a debt of eight hundred dol
lars, a fair capital of will to work,
but no cash capital.
To-day Mr.. Orr holds his land
clear OF debt, owes no man, has
fenced one-half Of his farm, has a
fine Jersey bull, thirty cows worth
fifty dollars each, twenty head of
cattle worth thirty dollars each,
hogs worth say two hundred del
lars, horses four hundred dollars,
wagon, implements, etc say four
hundred dollars, and some money
besides. Morever, has supported
his family in the meantime.
Some of Mr.. Orr's neighbors,
with an equal, or even a better
start, are either no better off than
they were seven years ago, or are
worse off IN some cases by the
amount of mortgage debt. One of
his neighbors, said to be worthy
gentleman, was in the dairy busi-
ness, and always had ready money
more or less and owed no debts. He
quit the dairy for corn, fruit etc; !;
also quit having surplus funds and
is now seriously in the mood to re-
alldltd anu thS Wall
There are thousands of forty
acre alfalfa tracts open to the i'm.
migrant at reasonable prices, all
things considered, and similar or
even superior to the Venable d
Cheney dairy farms. And other
forty acre tracts adapted to fruit,
equal to, but not superior to, the
Riverside fruit farms, are obtaina.
BILE at reasonable prices.
1 therefore preserve entire con-
sistency, with the confession of
disappointment, though / advise
Cheshire county, England, to deci-
mate its population into our alfalfa
regions; though advise the grape
growers of France and of the Med
iterranean coasts and islands to
seek betterments at Riverside, San
Bernardino, Pomona, the Azusa,
Santa Anita, San Gabriel, Pasa-
dena, Anaheim, Orange and other
points in every county in Southern
California.
1t is, however, of supreme i'm
portance that the stranger on his
advent here should be made to un.
derstand that in no country under
the sun as in our State, including
our section of it, are the natural
elements of success in such surpris-
ing and enigmatical juxtaposition
to the conditions of inevitable fail
ure. Who or what will be q lamp
to the feet of the unwary?

Said the old gentleman kindly
this morning, as his son and heir
presented himself at breakfast with
one eye hermetically sealed, one
hand minus a finger and the other
wanting half a thumb, "Now that
it is all over, my son, don't you
think 1t would have been better not
to have been so intimate with gum
powder yesterday? Don't you
think you have paid a little dear
for your noisy pleasure" With a
Casabianca look, the boy replied:
"Father, Pm little sorry about
my eye, and suppose shall find
it a little awkward for while with
my thumb and finger gone; butt"
Frightening up, "faiher | did have
a bully time, and no mistake"

who had been exalted from girls

peared at school arrayed in the
former, when his teacher kindly
remarked, "Children, | hope none
of you will tease Harry, nor speak
of his dress, as his mother has sent
him in it to punish him for being
naughty, and he feels mortified and
sorry" Thereupon Master Harry
quickly mounted his seat, and re-
ludiatipg the teachers kind pro-
lection, extended his clenched hand
and harangued his class thus: off
any girl says anything about it.,
TIl say nothing; but ifany boy does,
I'll knock his head off," and the
fire of his eyes bespoke his self-re-
lance,

"Why, no, my dear fellow, it will
