AN OLD MANS SONG.

Oh, my love ] love her SOL
My wife with hair as white as snow;
! think il is Il crown as fair
AS were the braids of auburn hair
She wore that day when at my side
She stood, n happy, blushing bride.
Oh, my love. love her so
My wife with her hair as white as snow
Oh, my love she is so sweet!
From head TO foot so trim and neat
In modest gravity still dress'd;
White kerchief folded O er her breast;
White cap upon her snowy head;
\ ready hand a gentle tread;
A mind serene; to anger slow;
4 voice both musical and low.
Oh, my love! ! love her so!
For she is ever true, | know;
And might fail or | might err.
But | would be the world 10 her;
In JOY and SORROW. smiles and tears,
She stood by me for fifty years;
The help, the comforter, the friend
On whom l always could depend.
In fifty wears how love viii grow.
Time sets her in such tender glow,
l love her better now, know,
Than in the days so long ago.
Now. when our lives are sinking low,
And both our heads are white as snow,
only ask with her TO go;
Oh, my love / love her sol

THE TRODDEN VIOLET

a violet in the morning dew.
With sunshine melting III its spheres
Whose honey all the wild bees knew,
And birds and breezes, happy crew
a violet in the morning dew
Was like her in the early years.
violet troddcn under foot,
Its breath with piercing perfume rife,
The birds and bees and breezes mute,
And only tears about the root
A violet trodden under foot
Was like her in the later life.
Sweetness past telling did she she'd
When day by day brought darker dole;
And sorrows with heavy tread
Crushed her and bruised the lovely head
Sweetness past telling did she shed,
As the bruised violet sheds its soul.
So was she spikenard bruised and crushed,
And so the precious ointment filed
With odor that about it gushed.
As if. within, whole gardens blushed-
So WAS the spikenard, bruised and crushed
That over the Lords feet was spilled.

MiIdew In VINEYARDS.

From A. Brigden, one of the prominent
vineyardists on the high mesa at the base

and appears to be quite beneficial. hut the
effect of the mildew will be to reduce the

FARM AND FRUIT.
INFORMATION OF INTEREST AND
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
Homemade Incubator-Fruit-G Grow.
ing ia Various COunties-Mil-
let Wheat-Mildew-E

1t is safe to predict an early day when
this State will rank among the first fruit
producing countries of the world. What
may we expect few years hence, when all
the young orchards that are now being
planted come into bearing? 1t has been
estimated that 70 per cent OF our orchards
devoted to the finer grades Of fruit, such as
apricots, oranges, nectarines, figs, lines,
lemons, pruneS, etc, are not yet in full
bearing. Each year will increase their
yield Our farmers are depending less
every year on the wheat crop, and more on
general products and new industries. They
are beginning to understand that unlimited
markets have been opened up within
brief period of time, for all the varieties of
choice fruit that can be produced. The de-
mand for California fruits, in the Atlantic
States and Europe, is increasing very
rapidly 1t is estimated that not less than
1900 tons of fruit were shipped overland
last year. The great Eastern cities have
become quite heavy customers for fresh
fruits from California, and now the interior
towns begin to come in. Wherever there
is direct railway connection the fruits of
California orchards may be sent in a fresh,
healthy condition. Whom the Oregon
and California Railroad is opened it will
create market for the fruits of Sacramento
valley and other places in northern and
central California. as the opening of the
southern route did for those of the lower
counties. The fruit business of California
is in its infancy even for fresh fruits, But
,he demand for dried fruits is unlimited
Few people have a correct idea of the mag
nitude of the fruit-canning business of
California. 1t will soon equal in value
that of the cereal production. Last year it
reached an enormous sum. 1t has been
estimated at nearly 40 per cent. Of the value
q of the wheat crop and nearly 50 per cent of
the gold mines. Many farmers have dis
covered that there is much more profit in
an acre of orchard or vineyard than there
is in several acres of grain. The invest
ment in fruit-canning establishments, in
various localities, is having the effect of
encouraging fruit-growing. 1t is said that
with all commercial nations the consump-
ton of fruit is yearly becoming more enor-
nous, and Il vast importance must ulti-
mately attach TO the very few regions of
the earth where fruits can attain the rich
perfection that our climate and soil in

Evergreen hiillet.

We have in our office sample of ever
green millet, grown on the farm of J. H.
Washburn, i'll the San Jose valley, below
Spadra The stalks have been allowed to
go to seed and stand nine feet in hight, the
seed having been sown on February 10th
last Little care and no irrigation has been
given it. Mr. Washburn informs us that
the millet, when cut and cured, is raven
ously devoured by stock, and that the thick
dubious roots furnish excellent hog feed.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated that
this forage plant grows to perfection with
no irrigation, even on high and dry mesas.
1t is evidently a valuable grass. and is
worthy trial by our stock mcn.-[Pomona

4 New Kind of Wheat.

The Marysville appeal says We have
has a strange story. Mrs. George Scheffier,
of this city, took dozen kernels of wheat
from the crop of wild goose. She planted
some of these, and raised four quarts of
what is apparently an entirely new variety,
a head of this grain brought to this office,
was six inches in length, and totally unlike
any known domesticated wheat. The
kernels are nearly if not quite twice the
length of the ordinary wheat kernels, being
half an inch long. 1t may prove, when
thoroughly domesticated, a valuable add

When it became evident that Mr. Glad
stone was bent upon keeping his redistribu-

would probably be the nature ofthe scheme
when it should finally be presented. To
this he replied, in his great speech of Feb
ruary last Well, sir, we do not intend to
walk into any trap, and in my opinion
there could be no greater mistake than for
a government which is not going to legis-
late on redistribution during this session to
give its views on this subject" Still, Mr.
Gladstone did express some views and your
readers will no doubt be glad just at this
time TO be informed what they were. 81

A Homemade Incubator.

The efforts of genius to discount the hen
through artificial process of Matching
chickens from her eggs can probably be
set down as successful. 1t is already claimed
by several inventors of incubators that they
can produce more chickens from given
number of eggs than will the hen in fol-
lowing natures way. The kelseyYille
Journal mentions a successful new inven-
ton in this line by Edward Davis of that
place, who, regarding all kinds in use as
defective, because the heat has to be fur
nished by lamps, went to work and made
an original incubator after the following
fashion: He constructed box 80 inches
long, and half as wide, covering the top and
bottom with tin. He sets this inside a
larger wooden box, with space enough all
around for filling OfsiX inches of Sawdust
and room left at the bottom to run in a
shadow drawer the same size as the inside
box. This he filled with 113 eggs, and put
underneath the inner box leaving a space
of about three inches between its tin bot
tom and the eggs. Then he filled the in
side tank with boiling hot water,
and the incubator was complete and
in operation. Twice in twenty
hours he drew out pail of the
water and replaced it with n pail of
boiling water. At the end of 4 week he
tested his eggs, took out > that were I'M
fertile, leaving in IS, from which 10 healthy
chicks were hatched-S5 per cent. of the
whole. 1t should be said that, after the
first week or ten days, but one pail of water
was drawn off daily and hot water substi
tuted, as the eggs retain the heat longer
after they have been subjected TO it that
length of time. The point attained by Mir
Davis in the construction Of his incubator
is the even distribution of heat over the
eggs. The hot water, retaining its heat
without much variation during the day,
warns each egg exactly alike. 1t seems to
combine both effectiveness and simplicity
