There are two words that have late
ly entered into our tongue, bulldoze"
and boycott that need an explana-
tion. BulldOze originated with the
"Ku Klux Klan,n lawless organiza-
ton in the South, who, to intimidate
the negro gave him dose of what was
CALLED bull-whip; or they buIIdOzed
him. Boycott came from Ireland.
y certain John Boycott was so
oppressive and cruel to his tenants
that every neighbor resolved to do no
more work for him. His stock had no
attention and crops were unreaped.
Since, such has been called boycOtting.

Citrus Fruit In Northern Cali
fOrnia.

A genuine sensation has been caused
in California by the holding of fair
at Sacramento for the exhibition of the
grOwths af citrus fruit produced by the
northern counties of the Golden State.
This fair has been a marked success,
and it has proved that the southern
counties have no monopoly of orange
culture, as was formerly believed.
The beauty and fineness of the fruit sent
to Sacramento, even from as far north
as Shasta, has astOnished every one.
and the fair has attracted thousands of
visitors from all parts of the State.
The exhibit embraced oranges, lemons,
olives, japanese persimmOns or To-
quats, pOmegranates and various other
citrus fruits, and all the specimens
were healthy and well favored. 1t is
estimated they are now growing and
bearing in more than thousand places
in Northern California, and the statis-
tics gathered for this occasion are such
as to make it surprising that the
adaptability of the region for citrus
fruit was not recognized many years
ago.
The suitability of the fOot-hill lands
Tor small fruits has indeed been long
known, and if those lands have not
been settled more quickly it is partly
owing to the absence of Transportation
facilities. A belt line to tap all that
country has long been talked of and
will have to be built before long. and
when that is done the California foot
hills will become the most productive
fruit bplt IN the country In +ba O,o,,
ing address at the Citrus Fair it was
shown that Sacramento, Auburn,
Marysville, Chico, Red Bluff and Red
ding are all in what is called the 6Oo
belt, and that they possess a more
equable and genial temperature than
Rome, Madrid, Marseilles and Algiers.
Certainly the citrus fruits appear to
have found this belt thoroughly congo
nial, for the oranges just exhibited are
said to have been cleaner and freer
from defects than the average Southern
California growth.

ers, especially great butter cows. are in
danger of having milk fever, and it is
thought that there is less danger if the
flow of milk does not cease. Cow STA
bies should be warm, sheep pens on the
contrary must be airy. As ewes approach
yeaning, increase their ration of roots.
separate them in small pens from the
flock and take care that the early lambs
do not get fatally chilled. 1t is well to
cut the straw used for litter into foot
lengths. Breeding sows need close.
warm pens, with plenty of litter and
good feed, in which cooked vegetables.
potatoes, pumpkins, turnips, and raw
apples may well be mixed. Horses
need care to prevent colds when used on
the road. Always have large blankets
ready to cover them when standing.
Injuries from calking and from kicks,
as well as from falls on the ice are not
infrequent, and should in every way be
guarded AGAINST As sprinp annroao
es, the importance of having definite
plans for work for the season will be
felt, and whatever good ideas may oc-
cur, should be made note of for fu-

1t is reasonable to presume that goods
cannot be bought as cheaply of houses
where but little business is done, as
goods so purchased must be bought
in small quantities. On the other
hand it is sound reasoning to as
sumo that the lowest prices prevail
in houses were large business is done,
as such houses can buy their goods in
larger quantities and are enabled to take
every advantage of the market. Such a
house must make the lowest prices the
leading feature of their business. Now
we do the largest business in the line
of Dry and Fancy goods in the city, car
ry more stock than all the rest of dealers
in the same line and make low prices
the leading feature of our business.
