Olive Culture I'm California.

Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara,
the leading olive-grower of California,
says that he has trees eight years old
that have produced two thousand gallons
OF olives to the acre. This would be
equivalent to $50 gallons of oil to the
acre, and the oil finds a ready market at
30 gallon. The yield of one acre
would thus be 81 $50, which for q hum
dred acre ranch would be a pretty fair
income. But these figures are mot repre-
sented to apply to any but the very
choicest trees and an uncommonly good
year. But even computing the profits
OF olive culture at as low figure as one
tenth, q twenty-acre ranch would sup
port family very comfortably after six
or seven years of waiting. One of the
great advantages of olive culture is the
fact that irrigation is not needed. In a
climate where there is often such scar
city OF rain as in California, this is a
matter of much importance. The olive
tree also grows very old. There are
trees in Asia Minor that are known to be
over 200 years old. and are still in full
bearing. In considering the profits of
fruit culture, however, the danger of in
sect pests, disease and over-production
must be kept in mind; and these are
usually passed by without mention in
glowing descriptions of southern Cali
fornia.-Erchange.

Rough Lesson to a Bank Deposition.

A practical lesson was taught to a
bank depositor few days ago in the
Queen street branch of the Dominion
Bank. 1t appears he called to deposit
about $1,000, which he laid on the
counter, and then turned round to speak
to an acquaintance. On again facing
the counter the money was gone, and
CONSERVATION reigned supreme. The
depositor accused a painter, who was at
work near the counter, of abstracting
the money, and threatened to call in
Constable if it were not at once given
up. While proceeding to carry out his
threat he happened to look toward the
counter, and 10 his amazement he saw
the missing package of money lying in
the exact spot where he had laid it.
One of the bank officials explained the
mystery by stating that on entering the
office from back room, and seeing the
money so carelessly displayed. he picked
it up and carried it away to teach the
depositor lesson, to be more careful
in the future, and then quietly returned
it An apology was rendered the ac-
cused painter, and all unpleasantness
was removed.-Toronto (Cdn.) Mail

Brand the COunterHeits.

There is an immense volume of coun-
terfeit money known to be in circula-
tion ut present. Large sums of money
are expended annually by the Secret
Service to detect the counterfeiters, and
yet the country is at times flooded with
spurious issues of National Bank notes.
This is because the attention of the
Secret Service is devoted to the seizure
of counterfeit plates and bills still in
possession OF the makers or their con-
federates, while there is no systematic
effort made to check the further circu-
latlon OF the immense volume of coun-
ter.eit money which has been showed
by the successful rascals, and is kept
floating in the community by more or
less honest people. The Secret Service
is totally unable to trace the Individual
bills, when once issued, through the
thousands of channels they have fol-
lowed. A few honest people may per-
haps destroy counterfeit when they
discover it, and pocket their loss
with a hope that the recording
angel above who is said to attend to
such matters will see that they are
properly credited with the amount at
compound interest; but some men pre-

pectlng person with whom they trade.

How THE DocToR LAID FOR HIM-The late
DIR. C., of Ashtabula, used in the early days
to take long rides through the wilds of Ohio
One day he stopped at an old-fashioned tav-
ern and called for dinner. Among the home
spun dainties was a glass of whisky beside his
plate, which he did not trouble. After din
ner, when paying his bill, the landlord said
did not touch, and never do" said the doc
tor. "Well, it was there, and you could have
had it," replied the landlord. The doctor
said no more, paid his bill and left. Calling
again not long after, it was noticed that the
doctor, upon sitting down to dine, placed his
medicine case upon the table. However
nothing was said at the time. When he went
to pay his bill he brought in one dollar for
medicine and advice. "But / have had no
medicine said mine host. "Very well, :"
replied the doctor, cit was on the table, and
you could have had it; and also gave you good
advice all the while / was at table," The
nonplussed host squared accounts.

BarerOOted Horses and Bad shOeing

which was never shod. used her fol-
breeding from a colt, and kept her with
out shoes because it was better for nv
purpose, rs she would not be so liable
TO injure her colts, and she was not
driven enough TO require shoeing. This
mare was never lame or tender-footed.
but she would slip on smooth ice, and
once fell down in crossing n pond, and
would have injured herself (as she
could not gain foot-hold) if she had
not been held down until removed. She
was gotten OFT the ice by putting a rope
around her body and hitching another
horse to it and sliding her Sc, eral rods
broadside, TO the shore. Her feet were
never cut, and contained all the natural
rim on the bottom, which. il is claimed,

There is n great difference in horses
about stepping; some strike the feet very
hard on the ground and others lightly.
The former would be sure TO get foOtsore

well shod, while the latter might do

difference in the shape of horses feet;

A fatooted horse usually has a soft

apparent from these facts that a general
rule TO deprive horses of shoes cannot
be made ALWAYS practicable.

Farmers are very apt to allow their
horses to wear their shoes so long that

corns; whereas the shoe should always
rest upon the rim or outside This
neglect is the worst kind Of economy,
