CHANGES IN FARMING.

Now Complicated Business Requiring
Tact, skill and Information.
As great changes have taken place in
the management of farms during the
past fifty years as IN trade manufacture
ing and transportation. Less than half
q century ago the average farmer was a
plodder. He pursued the beaten path
which his ancestors had so long trod.
Scarcely book had been published in
the country on agriculture, horticulture
or the raising of animals. There was
no agricultural journal worthy of the
name, and no periodical devoted to hor-
ticulture or dairying. The maxims in
most OF the agricultural literature with
which the farmers We're acquainted.
Most of the information obtained by
farmers was Evolutionary. Crops were
planted, cultivated and harvested in the
same manner year after year. There
was only one way to perform any oper-
alton on the farm There were no ma
chimes for doing any kind of farm work:
only hand implements were employed
in the field and garden, and these We're
of very primitive style The black
smiths and carpenters in the nearest
town made neariy all the farming tools
Many farmers repaired their own tools.
and if they were ingenious made many
of them The wood-lot on the farm
furnished materials for making handles
to plows, frames for harrows, as well as
for rakes. OK rekes and bows.
Most of the improvements on the
60 10, articles which
supplied The first buildings were
made of logs cut in the forest The
fields were Enclosed by stone walls or
fences made of rails. Bars were used
instead of gates. chiefly for the reason
that they required no hinges or 1atches.
Tile-draining was unknown. and if
piece of land was too wet to be planted
it remained q permanent meadow.
Scarcely any attempts were made to
change the natural condition of the soil.
The value of rotating crops was rot ap-
preciated or understood Manure was
known TO be useful, but no commercial
fertilizers were employed for enriching
the soil No attention was given to the
cultivation of small fruits and if ber-
ries were used by the farmers family
they were gathered in the fields or
woods. Seeding apples Were almost
the only kind of fruit produced on
farms There was no market for milk
and cream except in the vicinity of
large towns. .Creameries and cheese
factories were unknown Butter and
cheese were made in nearly every farm
house in quantities sufficient 10 supply
the occupants. The first CD ect of every
farmer was to supply his family with
food produced on the land ne occupied
He had but little TO sell. and according
" he could buy but little
The modern farmer may get along
with doing less work with his hands
than the farmer of the generations that
preceded him. but he must do more

The Wheat of the Pharaohs.

There is a proverb which says that
there are more false facts than false
theories IN the world. Indeed false
theories spring from mistakes as to
facts. or a wrong Interpretation of
them. An instance of this is the case of
wheat found in the collins of Egyptian
mummies 1t has been stated over and
and over again that such wheat retained
its vitality for over four thousand years,
and had sprouted as fresh and green as
the seeds of last year planting. Minis
ter S. 5. Cox. who represents this cohh-
try at Constantineple. had this matter
thoroughly tested. He sent package
of wheat found in the graves of num-
mics to responsible agriculturists in this
country. who planted it under the most
favorable conditions; but it would not
terminate Indeed. it was found on
cutting the seed that it had turned to

The great California Golden & ge Hair
Reproducer and Tonic is demonstrating
the fact that hair can be grown on the
baldest head. Not week passes but
some resident of our city calls our atten-
ton to the fact that where he was once
bald he has by the use Of the Golden
Age found a new growth of hair. The
Golden Age is prepared from California
roots and herbs, with one exception,
which is native production of England.
The above reward of $500 will be paid
for any nitrate of silver, sugar of lead,
sulphur, or other poisonous substances
that can be found in this truly wonder
full article. 1t contains no oils, and has
none of the Objectionable features of
other preparations, thereby making a
perfect dressing for the hair for ladies.
The California Golden Age eradicates
all dandruff, stops the hair from falling
out, cures all diseases of the scalp, and
gives immediate relief In cases of nery.
GUS headaches. 1t is prepared and put
up exclusively by S. Brown h Co., and
bears their signature ON every wrapper.
The great success of this article has
caused inscriptions parties to put up
and offer for sale to the public vile imi-
tations, some calling it Golden Era and
similar names. The genuine article is
named in large letters on the face OF the
wrapper and label "California Golden
Age" and the public are cautioned
against taking any other if good results
are desired They also manufacture
the wonderful California Sea Foam, for
shampooing the head. These articles
can be obtained of druggists or at their
factory, 2l3 South Spring street.

Mr.. Youle, the successful well borer
for oil at La Puente, has gone to New
hall to secure tubing and a pump for use
in the new well which he has just sunk
at La Puente. From all accounts and
indications this well, which has never
been pumped, will prove to be much
richer than it now shows itself to be.
Mr.. Youle has doubtless made a noble
well taat will add largely to the wealth
of Southern California. BY baling the
well now yields % barrels per day, but
with pump Of proper capacity it can
probably be made to yield so barrels of
choice oil Such well will be q fine
testimonial to the good management OF
Mr.. Youle and source of great wealth
to the owners, Messrs. Lacy and Row
land. A so barrel well of 80 gravity
oil will pay about $50, 900 annually.
Farther east the Snow well and the
Chandler well are yielding about 10 bar
rels daily. There is room for 100 more
wells in the vicinity of these three pro
ducers of wealth.

HaverIy,s Theater-AIice Har-
rison I'm stHos water,
At the time for the rising Of the cur
tain at Hsverly's Theater yesterday sf
ternoon the house was filled with an
eager audience, which had TO be dis
missed on account of the affection of
Miss Alice Harrison with neuralgia.
Money was refunded and the exit Of
great crowd SO early in the afternoon
made quite sensation on the street. At
night the house was packed again.
Standing room was in demand. Miss
Harrison appeared, fresh and vivacious,
and those whe were not informed would
not have suspected that she had been a
sufferer in the afternoon. "Hot Water"
IL the suggestive name Of tho piece Ia
which Miss Harrison appears this seas
on. IL is called musical farce comedy on
the bill. COMEDY is rather an ambitious
term for it. 1t should be called
farce, with music and dancing intro
duced. Not much need be said about
Miss Harrison. All theater patrons
know her. In sHot Water" she is the
same captivating soubrette that she has
been in other pieces with which the
public are familiar, and she maintains
her attractiveness in singing and dane
ing. The supporting company is prof.
cent and there are several good charac-
ter parts well taken. Mr.. Charles s.
Dickson is favorite and shows fitness
for better class OF dramatic production.
Frank Girard was success as the 'pu-
gilist." Mr.. Charles Mccarthy. as
'Jane Ann 0'Halloran," called ont the
clamorous encomiums Of the audience.
Mr.. George Kyle, as Professor Meek
full. was not less artistic, though he had
less opportunity to appeal to the demon
strative disposition. All the characters
were well taken and the musical and
terpsichorean features were particularly
popular. The audience plainly said
they liked the show, and that settles it.

There is probably no postofiice in the
United States where the force Is so
badly overworked and where they are
provided with such inferior accommoda-
lions and conveniences for handling snch
an immense volume Of business that is
so rapidly accommodating. Time and
again the special agents and Inspectors
OF the Postal Department have been
sent here to investigate matters and
have universally recommended increased
accommodations, but like Mark Twain
in his celebrated beef contract their
recommendations aud the appeals OF
our people have failed to reach the par
tieular department where II would ac-
complish anything. In the meantime
the postmaster and his corps of clerks,
carriers and attaches, are striving with
all their might and main to handle the
business az best they can. The attaches
Of the office are entitled to great credit
for their energy and determination to fill
the bill at all hazards, while the ten car
riers have distinguished themselves for
their dexterity and ambition to please
under the most embarrassing circum-
stances. There are seventeen postal
route clerks running in to this office,
ten city carriers aud nine office clerks,
besides the postmaster and the super
intendent OF the routes in this division
of the mail service. There should be at
least four more carriers, as well as an
increase OF force in other departments.

Last night at about ~ o'clock Nathan
C ohm, an attache of the Peoples store,
was passing along First street in front OF
the Olympic saloon, when some thieving
scoundre suddenly approached him and
dealing him brutal blow over the eye
brow with some shalp instrument,
snatched his watch and chain out of his
vest pocket and made good his escape.
In dealing the blow the rutfians fist
must have struck his victim in the
mouth, for one of his teeth was knocked
loose. The cut over COINS eye is quite
severe. This assaulting of peaceable
citizens by these ''toughs" is getting en-
tirely too frequent and catastrophe in
