New Japanese Buck wheat.

Japanese buckwheat, OF both sin

new in this country. 1t having been
introduced about seven years ago. a
few seeds having been sent TO New
Jersey man at that time. On trial In
New Jersey. 1t proved to be much
superior to any variety grown here.
Its kernels are larger than those OF
any other variety, and the product
very much In excess. Sown side by

variety next TO the Japanese, under
precisely the same circumstances as to
soil, preparation OF the same. manure,
ETC., II yielded almost double the

OF the lambs Is not so much as that oil

duce fleeces to pay their way. while

We'd like to have little navel orange
contest between Oroville and Riverside
We'd like it just to be a select little show
of dozen boxes or so, of the best navels
that these two localities can produce.
Riverside navels command the highest
price in any market, and are now the most
famous oranges. 0roville navels are des.
tined to rank with them in every respect,
and it is our honest conviction that they
are sweeter and possess a more delicious
favor. The Oroville navel is surely as
large as the Riverside, and just as symmet-
rical and beautiful. We have been in
Riverside packing-houses and groves, and
have no prejudice one way or the other
But we believe that the Southern orange
contsins more woody or solid matter than
the oroville orange, and lacks in the quail
ity of its favor. There are many little
groves Of budded trees about Oroville that
are this year bearing their first crop, and
the oranges are the very perfection of that
fruit. The exhibits of navel oranges at the

THE SAME OLD JAR.
His Wife Sold 1t in the Morning and He
Picked 1t Up as n Bargain.


Picked 1t Up Bargain.
Sir James Colquhoun was one day pass
ing by secondhand shop when he saw
exposed for sale handsome jar like one
his wife had long since consigned to the
attic as old rubbish. 1t was at the time
when jars and vases must be in pairs.
''I'll buy it," Sir James thought, "and
we'll touch up that old jar in the garnet,
and we'll have handsome pair" He was
fond of such bargains.
He went in and asked the price. The
dealer demanded six guineas for it, but
after some bargaining accepted FIVE guineas.
Sir James, pleased with his purchase,
hurried home to his wife, the prize in his
hand, and exclaimed.
Lady Colquhoun, only see what have
found It's the very mate to the old jar in
the garnet. Wasn't lucky to get it-and
so cheap, too? Only FIVE guineas, when we
paid ten guineas for each of those jars
when new. There" and he put it down
on the table beside her. "What do you
Think"
Lady Colquhoun looked and laughed.
ssh James" she said, u sold that old jar
in the garnet this very day for two guineas
to old Carr, and believe you've bought il
back again."
"Yes; Pm afraid have" said Sir James,
soberly; 81 bought it at Cars. And It's
the same old jar"
The Jar was carried back to its quarters
in the garnet. 1t was the last piece OF old
bric-a-brac that Sir James bought.
