the first year after importation from Europe.
Many are perfect of their kind, while others
show that several years viii be needed to
acclimatizs them thoroughly. They were
brought together for purposes Of class illus
tratioD, and with tie intention OF distribut-
ing seed to farmers wishing TO experiment.
The wheats show how wonderfully plant
NAV vary vixen once It's natural habit has
been broken up and it Is subjected to various
climates and modes of culture. There are
the various kinds known to the Germans as
Speltz and Emmer. red, black and white,
which need to have their chaff loosened by a
sort of rough grinding Though expensive
to clean on this account, they are valued in
elevated and cold districts for their hardness,
and their -four has the highest reputation for
pastry. Many Of tie most noted wheats Of
Europe. the British Isles, Asia and Africa
are to be found in this collection, and some
of them should find congenial home in this
State.
Barley is there in white, black, blue and
purple, and with two, four and six rows,
bearded and bald. The smooth kinds, which
loss their chaf in thrashiDg, are very interest,"
ing aud handsome.
Thirteen kinds Of rye should interest visit
ors from the San Joaquin, where that grain
is coming 80 largely into cultivation, and the
foothill farmers who are sowing it for winter
pasture and hog feed Among them is the
celebrated st. Johns Day rye, and several
| which in Europe have the name of being per-
ennial.
Exhibits of this kind may well cause US to
question whether we are in all cases using
the kinds of grain best suited to our varied
soils and climate. Farmers should not be
slew in seuding in their names to the Univer'
| sisy at Berkeley, as they are invited to do,
SO that they can be supplied with seed OF
such grains as they wish. when it can be
spared, costing them nothing but postage on
pound packages, or expressage on larger ones,

THE butter cooler exhibited by B. n.
| Bugbey. of this city, continues to attract uni
versal attention, and all who examine it:
workings are pleased with it. The cooler is
especially adapted to city like Sacramento,
where the cellars are liable to be damp. But
ter is an article that is more easily tainted
than almost anything else, and consequently
it is very difficult to keep it good in our cell,
ars or in refrigerators where other articles oi
| food are placed in the same compartment. In
this cooler it can be kept cold and sweet fol-
months without ice.

vey's hot water radiators and heating ap'
paratus 2l3 Mission street. San Francisco
| has his system in operation in the lower hal
of the Pavilion. This system was introduced
on this coast three years ago by Mr.. Harvey
and has steadily grown into public favor
since that time, in spite of all opposition by
other systems The moist, healthful atmos
phere the mild, uniform temperature; the
wonderful economy of fuel, together with itS
| durability, cleanliness and freedom from nox
ious gases produced by the stove and hot-aii
furnace, have secured for it reputation su
perior to any other system in uso. The sim
pie fact OF It's having been introduced into ter
public buildings aud over forty private resi-
dences the past year, with satisfactory results,
is evidence of its merit and growing popu'
larity. It secures a mild, uniform tempera
ture without the cold draughts and extrava
CANT waste of fuel of the open crate, and a
most healthful atmosphere without the dry,
parching air and noxious gases Of the hot-sir
| furnace or stove. 1t gives noiseless diffu.
sion Of heat without the humping, kissing
and cracking of the steam system, and Sc

guarantees everything for from two to five
