wooded Sca-Shore,

The delightful climate of California
has its disadvantages, and among these
one of the most serious is the strong
and chilling winds that blow from the
ocean at some points along the coast.
What makes this particularly import
ant is the fact that the soil is
often cultivated to the very verge of
the beach, where vegetation, grain and
fruit that would otherwise flourish
luxuriantly feel the wind keenly. 1t is
now proposed to remedy this evil by
planting dense rows of hardy trees
along the coast to form barrier
against the winds. That would also
serve the useful end of helping to fix
the shifting sands. 1t is more than
likely that in the course of time the
coast of California will present the
novel spectacle of unbroken woodland
extending along the very edge of the
ocean for hundreds Of miles.

Guilty of procuring not only horses for
the cavalry and artillery, but also for
the commiSsariat and other wagons.
The army mule, which played 50 I'M
portant n part in the late civil war in
this country, is altogether unknown in
England. The Indian government,
more wise and far-sccing than the home
government, has already taken steps
to procure II good supply of mules.
Patient and enduring as he is, he is but
of little use for artillery purposes. A
team of mules will make one long and
strong pull, but if they find it is useless,
they may refuse to make another fOl
several hours. Thus, if gun should
be stalled or begged during an action,
mules will refuse, after one attempt, tC
extricate it, leaving it exposed to the
fire of the enemy. Horses, on the
other hand, more generous and spirited
than their patient half-brothers, will
strain every muscle to haul the gun ont
of its predicament. Hence mules will
never be of much use in active warfare.
But in the less noble yet no less useful
work of hauling wagons the mule is q
most valuable animal.

CURE FOR SCAB ON SHEEP-Tke fol-
lowing is said to be certain remedy:
Take strong leaf tobacco and boil in
large kettles or watts. Make the amber
strong enough to sparkle, and use when
as hot as one can bear the hand in.
For dipping, make box five feet deep,
fourteen inches wide, five feet long at
top, and two feet long at bottom.
Have the back end straight and front
end hopper shaped. Nail cleats on the
slanting end for the sheep to walk out
On. Set the vat four feet in the
ground and make platform to let the
sheep come out on to drip, and let the
the liquid run back into the vat. In
this way there is none lost but what is
taken to wet the wool on the sheep.
The way to handle the sheep is this:
Have small pen near the vat; catch
the sheep; take hold of its left fore leg
with your left hand and right hind leg
with right hand; let your knees rest
against the side of the vat so you can
steady the sheep over it, hold the right
hand little the highest, let go the left
hand first, so that the sleeps head will
go clear under the liquid and the sheep
will turn over and walk out of the vat
on to the platform to drip. There
need be no fears about the liquid hurt.
ing the sleeps eyes or ears. If you
should see the sheep biting themselves
after ten or twelve days repeat the
dose and the cure is complete. In
this way three men can dip from SOC
to 1000 sheep in one day. If you have
to dip in cold weather keep the sheer
warmly housed two or three days. BY
that time the wool next to the sheer
will be dry. Do not use anything but
tobacco.

How to Make a Good Wife.
Be- attentiye and courteous to her.

Be attentive and courteous TO her.
Respectfully listen to her opinions,
giving them such consideration as they
deserve.
Show your affection by quietly al
lOtting her the most comfortable seat
at the Preside, and daintiest tibit at the
table.
Make your home as comfortable as
your means will allow.
Be mindful of her if she has partic-
ularly hard days work.
Never allow her To bring pals of
water, bring hods of coal, nor build the
furnace fires. You can do it with far
less loss of nervous power than she;
the mother of your children needs all
her vital energy in accomplishing those
duties which she alone can perform.
Give her such means, for her own
and children's wardrobe,as you can rea-
sonably afford.
Give her means to repair the wear and
tear of household effects. Woman is
naturally ambitious and tasteful. Her
good sense makes her economical. She
will make the most of her means,
Be cheerful when you enter your
home.
Don't be afraid to praise the neat
room and bright fire. Don't be afraid
of losing dignity, if you praise her
cooking. Don't be afraid to praise her
mending, and her skill in fashioning
and making. Don't fail to give her
words of appreciation, whenever you
can conscientiously approve. Never
deceive her. BE ever true to her. Let
your conduct be such that she will
be proud of you. Be so upright
that she will be happy to teach your
children to honor you.
Do not sit silent all the evening alb
sorbed in your book or newspaper.
Give your family some of your atten-
ton. Tell them the amusing things
that have Frightened your days la
Dor.
Speak kindly to the children.
Play or talk with them few mo-
ments after supper. Interest yourself
in your wife's employment. Encourage
her when she is down-hearted. BE
glad with her when she is happy.
Let her know by your words and
actions that she is appreciated, and you
made happier that she walks by your
side. Don't wait to tell the world up
on marble that which will be so CRATE
full to her loving heart to hear from
your lips. Share with her your good
fortune as unselfishly as you do your
I ill.
Let her walk by your side, your hon
ored companions; your strong hand
helping her over rough places, and sus.
tanning her when wearied, lest she faint

Forty-ave years ago great deal Of

ty and the land that produced it ran

{ turn their attention to clover. At
first it was difficult to get it established,
but little by little, under its influence,
the land grew better. Farmers had to
ditch their lands as the first condition,
then they used plaster, and at last got
full crops of clover and better crops of
grain, for their land improved through
clover. Hungarian grass has been tried,
but, like timothy, when the crop is
taken off nothing is left and the soil
becomes poor. The best crop is that
which leaves most to the soil, and that

Tho Army Worm.

A correspondent of the Ionia Sentinel,
(Mich.) of the 18th inst, says:
It is perhaps not generally known
that the city of Ionia has been invaded
by the army worm. Hearing that they
were at work on the prairie between
the Detroit, Grand Haven IL Milwaukee
Road and Grand River, we walked over
there this forenoon to see. The story
proves to be too true. The whole prairie
looks as If it had been burned over.
Millions of the worms are at work, and
almost every blade of grass has been
attacked. They appeared some time last
week on the piece of ground owned by
Hon. George w. Weber, and have been
and appear to be still travelling west
ward. They had not reached the high
water road this morning, but were
pushing on vigorously in that direction.
Myriads of blackbirds, yellowbirds and
robins were hoving over the place most
infested, evidently making a meal of
the worms. just in front of the right
flank of the army of worms is corn
field, and along the east fence, which
separates it from the meadow, line of
blackbirds were stationed, in as good
order as if marshaled for fight, under
a military leader. They would fly in a
solid mass to the ground as if attacking
something, and then fall back to the
position on the fence, from which they
repeatedly advanced in body. "Those
BIRDS" said John III. Welch, who was
with us, "are protecting that corn"
Surely enough, examination showed
that the pestiferous insects had come
up to the fence, but had not gone an
inch beyond, and none could be seen on
the corn. But large number of dead
worms were found on the ground where
the birds had been east of the fence. 1t
is certain that the birds have made
havoc with the worms, and it really
looked as If they had desire in it to
keep them out of the corn field. Who
will kill birds after observing such
things as thisp

THE FARM.
The Bee Pastures OF Mt. Shasta,

Shasta is fire-mountain, created by
a succession of eruptions of ashes and
molten lava, which, lowing over the
lips of its several craters, grew outward
and upward like the trunk OF knotty
exogenous tree. Then followed
strange contrast. The glacial winter
came on, loading the cooling mountain
with ice which flowed slowly outward
in every direction. radiating from the
summit in the form of one vast conical
glaciers iown-falling mountain of
ice upon fountain of smoldering fire,
crushing and grinding for centuries its
brown tiinty lavas with incessant activ-
ity, and thus degrading and remodel
ing the entire mountain. When, at
length, the glacial period began to draw
near its close, the ice-mantle was grad
ually melted off around the bottom, and,
in receding and breaking into its frag-
mentary condition, irregular rings and
heaps Of moraine matter were stored
upon its Hanks. The glacial erosion of
most of the Shasta lavas produced a
detritus, composed of rough. subangu-
lar powders of moderate size, and por-
GUS gravel and sand, which yields freely
to the transporting power OF running
water. Under natures arrangement.
the nexs marked geological event made
to take place in the history of Mount
Shasta was Waterford of extraordi-
nary magnitude, which acted with sub
lime energy upon this prepared glacial
detritus, sorting it out and carrying
down immense quantities from the
higher slopes, and redeposing 1t in
smooth, delta-like beds around the base;
and it is these hood-beds of moraine
soil, thus suddenly and simultaneously
laid. down and joined edge to edge, that
now form the main honey-zone.
Thus, by forces seemingly antago-
nistic and destructive, has Mother Ma
ture accomplished her bene6cent de-
signs-now a flood of fire, now foe
of ice, now a flood of water and then
an outburst of organic life, milky
way of snowy petals and wings, girding
the rugged mountain like a cloud, as if
the vivifying sunbeams beating against
its sides had broken into foam of
plant-bloom and bees.
In this lovely wilderness the bees
rove and revel. rejoicing in the bounty
of the sun, clambering eagerly through
bramble and hucklebloom, stirring the
clustered bells of the manzanita, now
humming along among polleny willows
and frs, now down on the ashy ground
among gilias and buttercups, and anon
plunging deep into snowy banks Of
cherry and bLckthorn
The Shasta bees are perhaps better fed
than any others in the sierra. Their
field-work is one perpetual feast but
however exhilarating the sunshine OF
bountiful the supply of flowers. they are
always dainty feeders. Humming-moths
and humming-birds seldom set foot
upon flower. but poise on the wing in
front of it, and reach forward as if they
were sucking through straws. But
bees, though as dainty as they, hug
their favorite flowers with profound
cordiality, and push their blunt, polleny
faces against them, like babies on theil
mothers bosom.-7he Century.

Character.

We pass for what we are. Charac-
ter teaches above our wills. Men i'm
agine that they communicate their
virtue or vice only by overt actions,
and do not see that virtue or vice
emits a breath every moment. Fear
never but you shall be consistent in
whatever variety of actions,so they be
each honest and natural in their hour.
For if one will, the actions will be
harmonious, however unlike they
seem. These varieties are lost sight
of when seen at a little distance, at a
little height of thought. One tendency
unites them all. The voyage of the
best ship is zigzag line Of a hundred
tacks. This is only microscopic criti-
cism. See the line from sufficient
distance, and it straightens. itself to
the average tendency. Your genuine
action will explain itself, and will ex-
plain your other genuine actions,
your conformity explains nothing.

done singly will justify you now
