Foes of the Wheat Field.

Wild geese are such dangerous foes of the California wheat fields that the larger growers are obliged to organize a regular force for the protection of their crops. The birds appear in the grain counties in myriads, travelling about in vast focks. Dr. H. J. Glen, whose rancho in Colusa County covers 75,OOO acres, or nearly twelve square miles, expends about $I0, 900 year in herding the geese. He has in his employ, while his wheat is growing, about forty men, all of them mounted and nearly all armed with Henry rifles and field glasses, who patrol his property during the day and on all moonlight nights. They discover with their glasses the focks of geese which, at 300 or 400 yards dis tance, look like white blanket, and thereupon plant bullet right in the middle of the flock. This starts them on the wing, and the herders follow them up, shooting till they rise to a great height, and, disgusted, leave the vicinity. The object is not to kill them, but keep them on the wing. About 5000 cartridges are used 1n day, which represents about 10000 geese daily put to flight.
Connecticut western news., 1882-05-31

take that for model. The command was obeyed with Chinese literalness and the clumsy junk, with its rising bow and it's cocked-up stern, was the result.
 The river junk is fat-bottomed ves- sel, rarely drawing over two feet of water. Its average size is about eighty feet long and ten feet wide. A guard runs along each side, upon which the crew walk when the wind fails, and polling becomes the only means by which the craft can be propelled. The vessel has one mast placed amidships, which carries a large sail, shaped like the wing of gigantic butterfly, which is crossed horizontally by strips of bam- boo. With the exception of Q small space forward, the river junk is housed in, with doors and windows along the side. In this house are the kitchen and living rooms for the boatman's family.
 The wheel-house is elevated above the rest of the structure, that the helmsman may have an uninterrupted view. and be able to guide his vessel safely among the crowd of boats moving on the water way. The steering gear is usually of the most primitive description, consist ing of large double-fanned rudder moved by long awkward tiller, which creaks and sways as the helmsman bends over it.
 Chinese junks, and also all the smaller river craft, are ornamented across the stern and along the sides with inscrip- tions, and no ship or boat of any kind is allowed to float without a huge wooden or painted eye on the bow. No waterman will embark on any vessel without an eye. The craft without this appendage would be unable to see rocks and shoals in it's way, and despite the utmost care of the boatman would surely go to the bottom. Many watarmen place implicit faith in this superstition, and those who are somewhat skeptical prefer to be on the safe side, and sail in boat which can see for itself. Accord ingly these eyes glare at one from every boat on the Chinese waters.
