CATTLE BREEDING. :

The sale Of all the extra cattle in
the Louisiana hills, which has been
gong Oh for the last few mouths, is
having one good effect. 1t. is max
ing the beef scarce in the home mar
ket. and The price is going. to be so
high that farmers will be encourag-
ed to devote moro attention to the
raising Of beef cattle. This ought
to be one of tie regular industries of
our highland region. Nothing is
more certain than that the price of
beef is going to be high in all the
markets of the country, and meat
stock can he distributed so readily
Eby our new facilities of railroad
transportation that the prices will al

vaiing in the city markets. TIE
force of routine in the minds of our
agricultural classes is forcibly Illus

with which these facts are regarded.

III is rumored that Turkey is seeking
an alliance with Russia against Great
Britain. At first sight, when we remem-
ber that twice within our own times
Great Britain has stood in the breach
between the Russ and the Turk, this
seems to be strange combination.
With 0rientals, however, Russian
diplomocy is very successful, and the
purchase of the Suez Canal shares, the
seizure OF Cyprus, and the late war in
Egypt, together with the projected rail
way line down the valley of the Eu.

Something New

The San Bernardino iadca publishes
the following reason why new wines
should be cheap:
In conversation with George w.
Groves, u small wino-maker of this city,
Mr.. Dreyfus represented that the de-
mand for new wines would be very slight,
and that In fact there was no sale at all
for them. He gave as a reason for this
that parties who had bonded their wines
for number of years were owing the Gov
ernment about 50, 900, 900, and that they
had been compelled to put this old wine
on the market at the same price as new
wine to satisfy the demand of the Gov
ernment. The natural result is that the
old wines meet the demand and there
is no sale for the new.
This information will he new to our
readers, who are not aware that native
wines pay a tax to the Government, and
owe $4,000 900 to Uncle Sam. The sub.
ject is little mixed in the mind Of our
contemporary. If he is talking about
old French wines in bond why don't he
say so? From the connection in which
the bonding is stated, one would iufer
that California wine-make owed s., 000
900 ON their wines to the Government,
which is not the case. In regard to the
value of new wines, they are always
cheap in this market, and it is "A good
business to buy them and store till they
are mature.
1t often happens that new wine bought
for Is or 20 cents per gallon, will at the
end of three years sell for S5 to 40 cents
per gallon, paying an interest of more
than 25 per cent. year above the
shrinkage. The wine grower and the
dealer both make money in tho trans.
action. We see no use in making such
a hue and cry about low prices, and get.
ting up funeral before the corpse is
ready. The country is prosperous and
all our manufacturing and farming inte.
rests are doing well. Wen all be
happy yet.

Print, don't call it a Miss. Print, says
The prospects of Calico mines are as
bright rs ever, yet persons frequently
leave the camp and circulate discourag-
ing reports concerning our mines, simply
because they have failed in some OF
their operations, or because they are
actuated by sinister motives. Owing to
the hot weather, which will soon set in
in earnest, the work on number of
claims that are being chlorided will be
temporarily suspended, and several of
the mines that have been suspended will
resume again whenever the companies
have acquired certain properties they
contemplate purchasing, or have made
the desired changes in regard to stock
holders. 1t would be something won
derful ii even tithe of the hundreds of
claims that have been located should
prove to be valuable. There are num-
Der who have failed in their mining
operations, but n greater number have
left the camp with $500, 81 200 or
$4,000, and the interests they sold have
proved a profitable investment to the
purchasers. Last year parties looking
for mining property visited the camps
and then left for Los Angeles, San Fran.

paraging reports about the mines. Be-
fore many months the agents of these

is for the purpose of discouraging the

low figure.
