GENERAL CHAPMAN, in his speech at
the Citrus Fair last night, advanced a
proposition that has been more than once
debated here, and always with affirmative
verdiets' to wit j That we send to Los An
geles a sample of all the exhibits of the
Central California Citrus Fair, to show the
thousands of Eastern exeursionists gath
cred there what they miss by not visiting
a section capable of such production,
'rithout irrigation, as this fair typifes. Bet
ter still, it is in thought, and has the
backing Of the sentiment of the people, to
hold the next Citrus Fair of Central Cali
fornia in Los Angeles.

Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: early last winter my
daughter was attacked with a severe cold
which settled on her lungs. We tried sew
eral medicines, none of which seemed to
do her any good, but she continued to get
worse, and finally raised large amounts OF
blood from her lungs. We called in fam
lily physician, but he failed to do her any
good. At this time friend who had been
cured bv DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, advised me to give it a trial. We
then got bottle, and she began to improve
and by the use of three bottles was entirely
cured"

YoLo COUNTY.

Yolo county is bottom land, valley, plain
and coast foothill region. II lies north
west of Sacramento, and is separated from
it by the Sacramento river. The soil is
gravelly loan, black aliuvial and grey,
deep and fertile. What adobe land there is
Is not used. 1t is a warm valley county.
Yolo exhibits as follows: Il. B. Blowers,
Woodland. shows Yucca plant growing,
a large lot of Muscatel and seedless Sui
tana raisins. One box is now six years old,
and the keeping quality is admirably ex-
emphfed. Dried figs, black variety. Pre-
served Morocco grapes in glass jars, pc
culiar and fine showing. His raisins are
sur Tried and fine in allrespects. n. Wyck-
off, Woodland, shows without irrigation)
fine Muscatel raisins, London layers. He
shows sweet wines, port and angelica, and
also claret and grape brandy. The Oak
Shades Fruit Company, Davisville, shows
| q splendid lot of fruit sealed in
| jars. Loring 81 Co., Woodland, show
| London layers CT Muscatel raisins Henry
Bros, near Blacks, show seedless Sultana
| and Muscatel raisins-very fine. They
show fine oranges also. Oranges are

seedlings, etc. Barney Parish, CachevilIe,
shows poem nuts, fine lot. Geo. Worth,
Winters, splendid lot of Seeding oranges.
j. B. Herget, Washington, very fine pome-
granates. q. G. Bray, Blacks, oranges.
| Some very fine spples and pears are shown,
| but without the name of the exhibitors.
The raisin exhibit is the largest of all OF
Yolo's display. The claim for the
soil of Yolo is that it is peculiarly
well adapted to raisin culture The
climate is admirable for growing and
drying. 1t lisa dry atmosphere, clear, warm
and equable. E. II. Gould, Davisville,
shows fine examples of Muscatel raisins,
| raised on what was once the Briggs prop
erty. Mr.. Gould is very large grower
| and shipper. Jach son Bros, of Woodland,
show twenty boxes of varieties of fire
| raiSins and several styles of packing The
chief varieties are seedless Sultanas and
Musoatels. The Sultanas are all dipped
| and evaporated. A box of one foreign ar
| ticle is put on exhibit beside the Jacksons'
goods to show the superiority of the latter
Part of the exhibit is of Muscatel packs,
faced by hand They show also four
pound boxes, "cartooDed ~ very handsome
styles. A box of Muscatels is shown
packed Spanish style, loose, with stems
showing. One box is Royal Clusters, -
| that is, laij in in punches, with oiled paper
between. a box is shown alss called
Valencia Evaporated." These are dipped
and given a different color. Some of the
| Jackson exhibit is machine-dried. but in
the main sun-dried. The firm is largely
engaged in the business, this year having
sold TO one firm of shippers $50 tons of raj
sins. The firm shows also three boxes of
sun-dried fgs-yery fine. The Jackson
Bros exhibit is certainly representative of
one of the most promising of all California
industries

A STRANGE SIGHT

Is that to be seen in A Mouton's exhibit
Sacramento county,. He shows four
growths of lines on one tree, in one year,
and the tree is full of blossoms, beside.
These wonderful growths range from the
full ripe to two weeks growth and to the
bud just bursting. Moreover, the lime of
this tree is sweet fruit-sweeter than the
sweetest orange grown. Mr.. Mouton's place
is on the river bank, just below Y street.
The land is rich, dark alluvial bottom land.
The tree referred to is 10 years old. Al
most as strange is the exhibit Of r. II.
Petit, Sacramento. who shows ripe black
berries, picked on his lot only day or so
ago. The other exhibits of Sacramento in
lemons, olives, lines, prunes, figs, raisins,
canned goods, preserves, ETC., must, because
of extent, be deferred for another day.

RAIslN cULruRE.

In rafsin culture let me say here, we do not
claim that the coast counties OF this State can
produce good raisins. AS a rule there it re-
quires from four to five pounds of green grapes
70 make one pound of rsisins. while at san
Bernardino Los Angeles, and the interior por-
ton of San Diego. Fresno. Yolo, SolGno, Placer
and some other counties where raisins have
been made In the interior, it only requires
three pounds of green grapes TO make one
pound of raisins and these are infinitely supe-
rior to any We can make near the sea- 1t win
thus appear there is no part of this great State
that has not specially in the way of fruit and
wine production. and it would be more than
folly for the valley to claim superiority over The
foothills or for the foothills to claim advantage
over the coast counties and valleys for each
form necessary part in the varied productive
capacity of this wonderful State

good suggestion. He believed in going to

showing to the Eastern people there the
proof of our claims. He pointed out that
We are comparatively idle in our own be-
half, while our brethren in the south are

amazing proportions. Mr.. Steffens then

attendance last night was very good, and

kind.

The Herring Family.

It is no exaggeratron to say that the
herring family ,ntributcs more largely
to the food of the pcopl" than any other
of the fish families. In the family OF
the herring are included the whitehall,
the pilchard and the sprat, the capture
of which constitutes a great industrial
interest, giving employment to many
thousands of people, and involving IN
the construction of the machinery of
capture and in the payment of wages
very large sums OF money. On some
evenings of the fishery as many as 1000
boats viii proceed to sea, each manned
by four or five person and each of these
boats may come home laden with from
six to sixty barrcls of fish. SO the work
of herring fishing goes on all the ye r
rounl, be ginning uong the islands OF
Scotland as carly as April and terminal
ing at Yarmouth at Tie end of October.
Then sprat fishing will begin and be car-
ri. d on till February, ut which time the
whitehall begins to make t. appearance
in the London mcnu. PiIchards are
caught off the coast of Cornwall, and
dur. .ng some seasons cnorm US numbers
are taken, which. If er being cured, are
exported to Italy. 1t has been calculated
by the author of the Harvest of the
Sea" that the pubic do not expend less
in the purchase of fish of the herring
kind than five millions sterling rer an

Bad Luck in a Bet,

I met gentleman recently who told
me that he never made but one bet in his
life, and although he won it. yet the
money brought him so much bad luck
that he never repeated the otfense. 1t
was made on q President al election and
he won $3.50. He was away from home
ut the time and he invested the moneyin
a handsome set of furniture for his wife.
Their home was being improved and this
set of furniture would be pleasant sur
prise to her. The furniture was packed
and shipped, but an accident happened
to the boat and it was tied up six weeks
in hot port. Whtn delivered it was
SO muih damaged that after removing
the handsome marble tops the furniture
WIS sent to a cabinet shop for repairs.
Shortly afterward the shop took fire and
the furniture was burned. On his re-
turn hone, after hearing of the loss Of
his furniture, he found that one of the
workmen had let something fall on one
of the marble slabs and broken it. He
thought that he would finish the bust
ness, so he got slcdge-hammer and
smashed the whole lot Of marble. His
only son, boy three years of age, stood
by to see the fun, but stumbled and fell
on a sharp piece of marble, receiving
dangerous wound on his temple. He
has grown to manhood, but will carry to
his grave an ugly scar.-L0uasolHe

The Proper Means to Render Horses
Obedient and Docile.

Horses are not cowardly. They are
imply nervous and easily excited. Once
taught that an object will not injure them
they care nothing more about it. They
will stand learlessly the beating of drums,
the putting Of the locomotive. the rattling
Of cars, or any other sound naturally ter
rifying to anima's. Ii the trainer shouts
1t them q ID beats them at f st sight of
that which Uses fear they will ever after
be unsafe, except, erEaps, in the hands
Of the same br tai driver. They may be
controlled when young in any pare and
under all circlms an cs if in their cary
training they have been made to rely on
the voice, calmly used. of the driver.
Once trick is &C luired it is never for
gotten, and onte horse has II away
be is ever thereafter unsafe, except under
the driving of an expert, and then he is
always unpleasant.
Many persons suppose horses under
stand spoken language. The probability
is they do not. The language of the
horse is more by signs than by voice.
They, however, understand tones and
signs perfectly, or can be made 30 to do.
It is'the tone, there ore, that should be
cultivated in training horses, and, in fact,
all animals, and these tones should al
ways be low. Hence, the reins and the
whip should be used principally as sig
aals; the voice TO indicate action or in
action. The latter should "who" or
''ho," to stop; "back" to back up, a
:luck to Indicate going fo ward; "get
on" or go en- to indie ate increased
speed, and steady" to slow up. In this
de emphasis is always to be on the last
word when more than one is used.
There is, however, No. OBJECTION to
talking to horses. They like to hear the
sound of the human voice The first
thing colt should be taught is to know
h;s name, and to come promotly at the
:all. Give them something they like
lump of sugar Or slice of carrot
when they come. They will soon learn
what the call means and be eager to obey.
Then talk to them while stroking the
hair or patting the should,r. Horses
especially like being slightly scratched
under the name.
In training to the saddle the re!Ds are
lot to be used to pull tn: horse about,
and particularly if it be sharp curb.
The hand is to be raised for gallopIng,
and to be lowered in trotting, and the
tridle is to he swerved against one or the
other side of the neck in turning. With
40 bit, when the horse is going at ease,
is there to he more restraint ell than
just enough, so the mouth of the horse
may be lightly fe.t. Especially in the
saddle must the rider understand the
science of equitation. The gip of the
saddle must be by the thighs. The legs
and heels convey the signs of what tie
horse is to do, in connection with the
bride, and the spur or whip should nev-
er be used except to punish horse or to
excite him to some e1traor linary exer
tion.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Feed for Cows.

Frank S. Peer, Mount Mcrr;s, \. y,
speaking of ccouoni al grain feed for
COWS, says wheat bran and middlings
have given h IN the best results. In
comparing bran with other grain, 1t
should be by weight and not by measure
Next to bran he favors ground oats,
then cotton. seed meal. He has had rs
good results from feeding one pound OF
bran to one of corn meal us from two
poa. ds If corn meal. Half oats and
half bran. by weight, price considered,
give better results than oats and corn.
he is no advocate of corn, except for
pork or beef. Next to oats he finds cot
ton-sccd meal cheaper than corn or
oil meal. Under his practice he
finds the most economical food to
be four pounds bran, three pounds
grou d oats to one pound cotton
seed mca' lie is experimenting
with pea meal, in place of cotton seed,
with equally good results, and believes
for those who woald raise the peas that
the latter would be found mo-: c cconomi-
cal than cotton-seed meal
