THE Evening Bulletin has lately
been lecturing the country press of
California on what it should and
should not do. Much of its counsel
is good, but In undertaking to re.
strict the country newspapers to
local affairs, pure and simple, and
In telling them to let national pol
itics and Congress alone, i. is guilty
Of piece Of sheer impudence. As
. matter Of fact, nearly all the
great and controlling political
journals have been published ed in
Ons.horse towns. Alta time when
Albany was q small Dutch burg
the politics of New York were con-
trolled on the one side by the AL
bAny Argus and on the other by
the Albany 10 urnal. With the ex.
ceptloD, possibly, of the New York
tribune. no metropolitan newspa-
per ever attained the political in
ausnce welded by either of these
journals. In the old days, the
Democratic politics of Pennsylva-
MIA were largely melded from Lam
caster, another small Dutch town,
which could boast of the Intelzi-
gencer. Colonel Forney as the
head Of the Philadelphia Press new
or welded half the power which he
possessed as the editor of the Intel.
Hgencer, q distinctively country
newspaper. So of Col. Mcclure,
who once ran the Chambersburg
Repository. As editor of the Phil
adelphia Times he is not the power
he was then. The Spring fieldRepu6.
lioas, when edited by Sam Bowles,
could boast Of an almost unlimited
political influence. Instances to
the same purport could be multi
piled almost indefinitely, but we
have said enough to show the alb
surdity OF attempting to shut out
the country press from the field of
State and national politics. AS to
the degree Of attention bestowed
by the rural newspapers of this
State on crops and matters Of local
interest In their neighborhood, we
must say that we have never seen
1t rivaled anywhere else. Nothing
escapes them. As chronielers of
industrial, agricultural and horti-
cultural progress they are worthy
Of all praise, and are at all times
alert and enterprislng. 1t seems
to u that our San Francisco con-
temporary has been notably NAL.
apropos In its attempts to play the
role Of journalistic lector.

They have made their

them. They have made their
money in mining and speculation,
and they are averse to engaging in
new enterprises. With the excsp.
tion of Ralston and half . dozen
others, the men who have grown
enormously rich in California have
no ambition whatever to build up
the industries of the State. The
money for the purpose is in San
Francisco in an abundance not ex.
ceeded by any cities Of the United
States save New York and
Boston. The large rates of
interest prevalent in California
until lately has probably had much
to do with this. Men could not
we'll hope to make from one and a
half to two per cent. month In
any branch of manufactures, and
this deferred those who controlled
money from starting industries in
the early days. AS the twig was
then bent so the tree IL now in.
clined. AS there Is q well ground
ed belief that Eastern men with
the requisite skill, experience and
capital could benefit both them
selves and this section by coming
here, the California press Is right
In calling attention to that fact.
As to the wealth of the California
millionaires referred to by the Sun,
it was not exaggerated a whit. We
have never seen it claimed here
that any single Californian was
worth from $50. 100000 to $75.O00,-
900. Thirty millions was the highest
figure we have known the wealth
of the richest of our nabobs to be
put at. AS to the riches OF the bo-
nanza kings, these gentlemen are
known to have purchased at one
clip, for joint account, $25, ,0oO,eOo
in governments, at time when
they had $4,000, 900 invested in the
Nevada Bank. AS to the wealth
of the railway magnates, 1t would
be very hard indeed to make an
approximate estimate of it. 1t Is
wealth of the same character as
Vanderbilts was before he con.
verted most Of it into government
bonds, and could doubtless be as
readily capitalized as that of the
New York millionaire was. 1t
would be very hard to make any
estimate of the millions of the
Msssrs. Stanford, Huntington,
Crocker and the deceased Mark
Hopkins, which would place it un-
der $50, O,0OO,0OO apiece. As to the
dangers of depreciation, that is q
peril which the New York million.
aire runs just as fully as his San
Francisco brother. Taking the
common estimates Of the wealth OF
the "solid" men Of New York and
adding the several dazzling sums
up, the total would probably be
found to be greater than the whole
circulating medium of the country.
We really believe that the exag-
geration is relatively less In the
estimates commonly published OF
the bank accounts of our own rich
men than in those of New York
City and Boston. AS the Sun says,
the Comstock lode may indeed be
played out, but if it should never
yield another dollar it can point to
q bullion record of 1888, 900, 600.
There must still be a good deal of
that prodigious gu m scattered about
in stray stockings on this Coast, to
say nothing of the vaults of our
banks.

EGGS AS WHOLESOME FooD.-Would it
not be wise to substitute more eggs for meat
in our daily Diet? About one.third of the
weight of an egg is solid nutriment. This is
more than caa be said of meat. There are
no bones, no tough pieces that have to be laid
aside. A good egg is made up of ten parts
shell, sixty parts white, and thirty parts yolk.
The white Of an egg contains sixty.six per
centum water, the yolk 6fty.two per centum.
Practically, an egg is animal food, and yet
there is none of the dsagreeable work of the
butcher necessary to obtain it. The vegeta-
rians of England use eggs freely, and many
of these men are eighty and ninety years old,
and have been remarkably free from illness.
Eggs are best when cooked four minutes.
This takes away the animal taste that is ofen-
sive to some, but does not harden the white or
yolk so as to make them hard to digest. An
egg, if cooked very hard, is difficult Of diges:
tion, except by those of stout stomachs; such
eggs should be eaten with bread and masti-
Gated very finely. An egg spread on toast is
food 6t for a king, if kings deserve any better
food than anybody else, which is doubtful.
Fried eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg dropped in hot water is not
only clean and handsome but delicious
morsel. Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter is the best dressing. Eggs con-
tain much phosphorus, which is supposed to
be useful to those who use their brains much

FEEDING HAY FROM THE STAcK.-A cor.
respondent of the Country Gentleman writes
A careful observer is frequently surprised at
the wanton wastefulDess of many farmers.
Such waste occurs more noticeably in the
manner of feeding, perhaps, than in any 9th
er branch of farm work. For this reason |
would like to refer to what appears to me a
shiftless practice-that of feeding hay, from
the stack upon the meadow. Farmers are
generally careful to save the entire crop of
hay. Even after hay is pitched from the
windrow or hay-cock, the horse rake is put
in motion, and the rakings are cared for
Thus there is neatly finished job, and the hay
is all saved But there is not the same gen.
eral care in feeding. If it pays to be so very
careful to save hay when we are making it,
there is no reason why we should net be very
careful to avoid wastefulness in feeding it. 1t
always seems to me that the feeding of hay
upon the ground involves great waste. If
one feeds out Of doors it would be we'll to
provide boxes or racks. There are those in
this section who have comfortable barns, and
yet persist in feeding on the meadows There
is less waste of food and manure when cattle
are fed in well.arranged stables there is less
exposure and better health. The tramping
of ground in the warm, open weather which
frequently occurs in our winter seasons, robs
the soil Of much vitality. These points are
severally opposed to the practice Of feeding
upon the meadows in winter.
