WHEAT, OR VINE?
viniculture Pronounced More Profitable Than
Growing Cereals.


viniculture Pronounced More Profitable Than
Growing Cereals.
The San Francisco ChToRicic, the Los
Angeles Times, the Sacramento Bee, and
other leading journals Of California are max
ing active warefare against using the soil of
that state for wheat growing.
The Chronicle says: according TO the
estimate of the state bureau of agriculture,
California produced this year 1900 600
bushels of wheat Deducting 10 cents
per bushel for transportation by rail
10 market, which will be found to be
about the average TO the whole state,
this crop will net the growers about 40 cents
per bushel, or 25,G50,000 for the whole crop.
This erep-was grewa-aa.-;ln average of
about 2,500,000. 1t is keeping within bounds
to say that had this acreage been
planted in fruit and grapes it would have
yielded from S2J0, 900, 900 to e4O0 000,0O The
farmers in that case would have realized
net profit, after charging up their own labor,
their hired help, the cost of plants, manure,
etc, of not less than 500, ,000,O0O, whereas it
is reasonably certain that the wheat-grower
this year, if he charges himself with his own
labor, will find that he has not made a cent
To grow wheat for less than a cent pound
requires exceptionally favorable conditions" ="
The Los Angeles Tunes in the same vein
raises the query: 'Are we not devoting too
large proportion Of our rich and fertile
lands TO wheat-growing, which might much
more profitable be devoted To vine and fruit
growingPn
The Bee says: San acre of vineyard, any
where in the state viii yield five tons of
grapes, worth $50 ton, making a total of
SlJ0, against total of sl9.S0 from yield of
thirty bushels of wheat on the same area of
land. The profit on the grain is 81. 80, on the
grapes 1T least Sl00. The estimate for grapes
is moderate. A single vineyard of 800 acres
near Fresno is producing this year about
1000 tons, worth $4,000 at So ton. II
would take about 2 800 acres of land prpluc-
ing thirty bushels 10 the acre, TO raise grain
enough to bring that amount this year. What
a vast waste of valuable space wheat growing

THE BOY OF THE BURNIsG DECK.
Facts About Casabianca. "A Hero for Whom All
Folks Feel sorry.

tacts About tasabianca. "A Hero for Whom All
Folks Feel sorry.
Few but know the very pretty piece of
poetry by Mrs. Hemans, "Casabianca," COM
mencing, "The boy stood on the burning
deck" The led was not the son of the ad-
miral commanding the flagship L'Oricnt
which took fire and exploded. The admiral
was Brueys, who was wounded in the head
and hand early in the action. He continued
TO give orders until cut into by cannon ball
he uttered request TO be allowed 10 expire
on deck, which he did in the course of some
minutes.
Cityen Casabianca, the father of the poetic
hero, then took command his son was a
MILDLY, but only aged 10, not IL. At that
period lads entered the navy very Young
Casabianca was also deputy, Pending the
action his son was by his side the father was
mortally wounded in the head by splinter
and became insensible; he gave no iniunc-
ton TO his son, but the latter would not the
less quit his wounded parent By this time
the ship was on fire. Several of the sailors
had lett and saved themselves on spars until
picked up by the English boats. Aided by
the purser young Casabianca and his father
were lowered down on piece of q mast float
ing by, but they had only got short distance
from the l20gun Orient when she blew up,
and nothing more was seen of the Casa
bancas.
But the noblest thing that perished there
was that young, faithful heart.

Regart'S Old Brandy,

Sold by our enterprising friend. ii. T., sLAY-
MAKER. This brandy has stood the test for
years and has never failed, as far as our expe
rience extends, and we therefore give II the
preference over all other Brundies-no matter
with how many Jaw breaking French titles they
are branded. One-iourth of the money that Is
yearly thrown away on various impotent dys-
pepsia specifics, would suffice TO buy all the
Brandy to cure any such case cases. In proof
of the curative power OF

In cases of Dyspepsia we can summon numbers

kinds of strong drink When advised TO try
RElGART'S OLD BRANDY
In his ease, he looked up with astonishment /;
but after hearing OF his wonderful effects In the
cases OF some OF his near acquaintances, he at
last consented 10 follow our advice. He used the

The work of relief is still going on with vigor.
The Red Cross has established headquarters
here, as a central point for its work, under the
supervision Of Miss Clara Barton, president of
the national association. One of the objects OF
this organization is to reach the sufferers with
help when the first emergency is passed, and they
need such help as will best enable them to helr
themselves Every dollar spent will be accounted
for to contributors. The Chicago branch has
sent SO, 600 St Louis, Rochester, New York
city, and other places, are sending literally.

Manchester o., suffered less, but needed pro
visions, which were left.
Concord, KY, was helpless, They received nc

Vanceburg, KY, received rations for 400 peo-
pie At this point the people gave three cheers
for the government and three groans for the
Kentucky Legislature.

They propose to pay transportation and hotel
expenses of all actual delegates, and to guaran
tee that all others who are attracted there shall
only be charged regular rates. Said John Fl.
Colvin, a prominent member of the
Chicago delegation, tonight, owe think we shall
have the assistance of most of the Democratic
members of Congress from the Ohio valley
States, the Northwestern, and the lake States,
Most of the Eastern members will go for Sara
toga, and the extreme Western States for st.
Louis The Southern men are divided, but we
will get our share. The fight will be triangular,
between Saratoga, St Louis, and Chicago.
Neither Louisville nor Cincinnati will cut much
of a figure. All roads led to Rome, and all
American railways lead to Chicago. We have
the lowest rates from the railway companies,
and our hotel accommodations are complete.
Potter Palmer will talk hotel business for US.
We have had the largest assemblies at Chicago,
and our people were never yet stigmatized with
the charge of victimizing visitors"
ST. Louis offers the best hall accommodations,
and says she will duplicate every other induce
meDt made by Chicago. The ST. Louisians
claim their city is the most neutral ground upon
which to select a candidate, and she may get the
convention.
