ton November LIST for an eight weeks en-
gagement. The combination expects to

rant to the expectation.
The London correspondent of the Chi

The important question of whether or no

tract is signed, and the artists are engaged

changing her mind, and not thousand,

As remunerative crop, says the Rsrul
Neio Yorker, chestnuts have not received
their share Of attention, and we presume
it will be long ere the raising of chestnut
trees is made part of our rural indus
tries. But may there not be money in it ?
In some foreign countries the chestnut
crop is equivalent to the wheat crop
In America, both as respects the
money value and the uses to which
it is put. Chestnut bread, thing
of which Americans are wholly ig-
norant, constitutes the principal food of
thousands of people in Europe and Asia.
The fruit is ground into meal, andkpud-
dings, cakes and bread are make from it.
Ohio's statistics show that her chestnut
crop is valued at $50, 600, and it could soon
be made to reach ten times that amount.
The tree is of quite rapid growth, attain
ing the hight of fifteen or TWENTY-FIVE feet
in five years from the seed it is, as we
know, valuable as timber; can 1t not be
made more valuable here for its fruit!

The Nations Tea Farm.

During the administration of the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington by Com
missioner LIE Due there was the sum of S15.-
600 appropriated by Congress to test the
practicability Of producing tea in the United
States at profit. A farm of $50 acres in
South Casclina was leased and pre-
pared for the experiment. The whole
amount of the appropriation has been ex.
pended, and it has been demonstrated that
tea culture ia that locality has not been a
success. 1t is understood that the present
Commissioner, DR.. Loring. proposes 10
abandon the farm, but what he will decide to
do with the plants is undetermined.
The location OF the experiment seems to
have been unfortunate, to say the least.
1t E2ay be that somewhere within the borders
of the United States tea may be produced Of
good quality and at profit, but one thing is
certain, that locality has not yet been found
Tea, coffee and sugar we have not succeeded
very well in. The two former we have but
little faith we will make success, but we dc
believe we can and will in time produce sugar

where Cur sheep are Going.

Fifteen years ago there were about as many
sheep in this State as at this time, and sheep
were fully as cheap, il not cheaper, at that
time than they are now. 1t is well known
that our climate is among the most favorable
for the increase of sheep, and that, in fact,
all our iocks have been allowed to increase
as fast as they naturally would under the
most favorable circumstances. The question
then arises, what has become of the increase
Certainly we have not kept down the increase
by slaughtering, although we have become
quite muttoE-eating people. They have
not certainly died off in a natural way or
starved TO death, or frozen by cold weather.
Yet the fact remains that as lands have been
taken up and appropriated for cultivation, the
sheep ranges have been curtailed, and the
flocks have disappeared from sight. Large
hocks of sheep are very seldom found now ia
the central and cultivated parts of the State.
They have gone many of them to the noun
tains within cur State-but California has
furnished sheep for large number of the
territories east and northeast and southeast
of US. Within the last fifteen years sheep
have gone east faster than they have come
west. We have IN great measure stocked
Nevada, Utah, Dakota, Arizona. Colorado.
New MEXICO ana nave sent many sEeep INTO
Texas and Oregon ard Washington Ter
ritory. In many instances their owners
have gone with the hocks, SO that it is
no uncommon thing TO find California sheep
men in nearly every State and Territory be-
tween the Pacific ocean and the Missouri
river. We wish we could say that larger
number of our sheep had been taken onto
California farms, and had thus been used in
diversifying agricultural products thereon.
The time for the absorption of orr lsrge
Aocks of sheep by the farms Of the State has
not yet arrived, but we predict that before
another score of years shall have passed
away sheep will occupy the larger number of
farms in the State, and that they viii be
found to contribute in no small degree to
general agricultural prosperity. Farmers
should keep less dogs and more sheep !;
should devote less acres to wheat and more
acres to sheep

mer summers. The atmosphere has been
charged with an unusual degree Of inoisture
the season through, and for weeks past this
moisture has been perceptibly increasing in
stead of decreasing, as has been the case gen.
orally in seasons past. There have been but
very few nights this summer in which we
have not had more or less dew, and
for some weeks past this dew has been rap
idly increasing. In the early mornings now
the dsS is so heavy as to have decided ef-
feet in laying the dust on the roads: and veg
citation is visibly enlivened by the dampness.
All these signs are favorable for an early and
damp fall, though they may not go to the
extent of indicating wet winter. Farmers
have none too much time to get ready for the
fall rains, and it viii pay them well to EN-.
ploy their time in such preparations.

THE LOST KISS.
l put by the half.written poem

/ put by the half written poem,
While the pen, idly trailed in my hand
Writes on Had words to complete it,
Who'd read it, or who'd understand
But the little bare feet on the stairway,
And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall,
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
Cry up to me over it all.
So gather it up-where was broken
The tear-faded thread of my theme,
Telling how, as one night sat writing,
A fairy broke in on my dream,
a little, inquisitive fairy
Ny own little girl, with the gold
OF the sun in her hair, and the dewy,
Blue eyss of the fairies of old.
Twas the dear little girl that scolded-
% For was it moment like this"
Isaid--'' When she knew was busy,
To come romping in for a kssi
Come rowdying up from her mother,
And elauoring there at my knee
For One little kiss for dolly,
And one title uzzer for me j."
God pity the heart that repealed her
And the cold haua that turned her away
And take from the lips thai denied her
This answerless prayer OF to-day
Take, Lord, from my mem'ry forever
That pitiful sob Of despair,
Ard the pstter ard trip Of the little bare feet,
And the one piercing cry on the stair

While the pen, idly traled in my hand,
Writes on" Had words to complete it,

But the little bare feet on the stairway
And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall,
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,

of California farmers? We raise wheat for
