Disease in California Grape vines.

Whatever Injuries farmers in any
section Of country is likely to affect all
others. For several years the profits
of California fruit growing have great
ly diminished the yield of wheat and
other grains. 1t is probable that fruit
will in the future be the chief agri-
cultural product of the Golden state.
But. new disease has attacked the
grape vines in the southern part of the
state, and is giving vine growers great
uneasiness. The worst OF it is they do
not know its character. The state and
National Departments of Agriculture
have been applied to, but though the
leaves and fruit Of the plants, and even
the soil, have been carefully ex-
amined, no cause appears for the
fatality. The fruit appears all right
in the afternoon. The next morning
the grapes turn a sickly yellow, and
soon shriyel and die. The trouble at
pres ent affects the San Bernardino
valley in the southern part of the
state, where Los Angeles is situated.
There are reports that it has extended
to the San Joaquin valley farther
north, but these lack confirmation.
Some of the growers have theory
that the blowing Of ocean air on the
vines is the cause, but this has always
been the condition, while the blight
has only appeared the past two or
three years. New vineyards planted
in the place of old ones die before they
come into bearing.

A Few Words about Poisonous Plants The

Necessity of Skilled Labor on the Farm
Household Suggestions.
Poisonous Plants.

49, y & . IS !. s & /
The poisoning of domestic animals,
by eating plants and vegetables that
frequently grow in out of the way
places, is not SO common as one would
imagine, considering the number OF
poisonous growths that spring up all
over the country. A natural instinct
seems to warn most animals away from
certain plants that are dangerous to
them; but, occasionally, new plants
find their way into fields and pastures,
which are. poisonous, and yet juicy and
sweet to the taste. Horses and cows
will frequently eat these, and suffer as
result
The Experiment Stations are making
valuable studies Of poisonous plants,
and it is hoped that in time all OF them
will be classified, and methods suggest
ed for their destruction. Farmers in
different sections of the country fire.
quently disagree as to the relative
merits or dement's of certain plants,
and so no true conclusion can be
arrived at until the matter is examined
scientifically. The loco weed has thus
found champions VINO have claimed
that it possessed no poisonous qualities,
while others are confident that it proves
injurious to all animals that eat it.

Skilled Labor on the Farm,

Many good farmers use an almost
Incredible number of machines and
implements in their work, and find
them all necessary. For crop OF hay
for instance, there are ten machines.
A crop OF potatoes calls for no less than
seven distinct implements and ma
chimes. A crop Of oats or wheat
brings eight OF these into use, and
everyone is Indispensable for the prof
liable culture and harvesting of these
crops. There are several kinds .of
machine too, plows, harrows, etc., for
different uses and SO on. And every
one of them calls for mechanical skill
and scientific knowledge of the pur-
poses for which it is used. 1t is thus
seen that skilled labor is Indispensable
to the profitable culture of farm. and
not to mention thorough business hab-
its which are equally necessary, it fol-
lows that a farmer needs quite as
much preparation for his business, as
a business man or a mechanic.

Do Well.

Some succeed in raising large yields
OF corn or potatoes, and they are in
addition OF a good quality. Another
secures a large yield of fruit and of a
good quality, that sells readily at good
prices; others have good, fat stock
that there is always purchaser look
ing for, instead of the farmer being
obliged to hunt around to find buyer.
One of the principal secrets of this is
that whatever is necessary to be done
is done well. Whether it is in the
preparation of the soil, the planting,
cultivating or harvesting of the crops,
or the breeding, feeding or manage
ment OF the stock. And in very many
cases it is the failure to give this care
in the different parts of farm work
that is the cause Of not making or
deriving as much profit as otherwise
might be realized. Close competition,
the raising of a surplus amount of
product that must be disposed of, rem
ders it necessary to secure good yields
and also to take such pains as are
necessary to secure the best yield at
the lowest cost And one of the best
plans Of doing this, is to condense the
work instead Of attempting to skim
over large acreage, doing no part of
The work thoroughly.

full. The largest well III the world, at
Paris, 2, 359 feet in depth and 8 10 feet in
diameter, throws little over 1000 gallons
per minute.
In South and North Dakota the limits
OF tho artesian basin are clearly defined
4 on the north, east, and south, and it is
believed that the western boundary ex-
tends considerable distance west Of
the Missouri River, although no wells
have yet been drilled upon the west side.
"a chemical analysis shows that some
Of the wells flow soft water; others pour
forth extremely hard water, while il is
impossible to drink the water from SONS
OF the wells, SO highly is it impregnated
with mineral properties One well was
found to produce salt water and had to
be abandoned. Artesian water is min
eralized to q great extent from having
dissolved the soluble constituents Of the

South Dakota these. constituents are
such as have impaired to the water un-

fortunate, although the water is not

for irrigation purposes, and has recon-
mended the expenditure of half million.

direction.

Queer Franks of Mark Twain.

Whenever Mark Twain has large
dinner party at his home in Hartford,
says the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
particularly when he has any English
men for guests, he is in the habit, it is
said, of rising at what he considers the
proper moment, without any warning
or explanation, and beginning a set
speech of a humorous kind. He usu-
ally occupies from fifteen to twenty
minutes, and does his best to enter
tain and tickle his auditors. Some
times his efforts, always premeditated
and carefully prepared, are highly sue
cessful; sometimes they are not.
Humor cannot be fabricated to order.
But they are invaribly laughed at, Of
course. 1t is an absolute requirement
of common politeness that they should
be, when a host demands laughter as
return for hospitality. Twain likes
to be regarded as eccentric and origin
al; and this is PROFESSIONALLY original.
No man that ! have ever heard of,
either here or abroad, regularly makes
formal speeches at his own table, espe-
cially without premonition. Twain
evidently thinks he has reputation to
sustain and he sustains it in the extra
ordinary manner described. He might
be funny, if he chose, while keeping
his seat; the position would not mar
his fun. But that would not be suffi-
GENTLY emphatic to suit him, so he pre-
fers to impress his guests with a full
consciousness of his premeditated de-
termination to do something worthy Of
the occasion. It may be that he is
thus seeking to advertise himself by his
Post-prandial harang CUES disposition
with which he is sometimes credited.
Doing the thing in that way is in itself
SO comical that he could not hope, how
ever preposterous his jests might be.
to say anything half so good.

Poultry Picking.

If farmers would take one good
breed of fowls and carefully study
their characteristics, they would make
double the profit than if they keep
trying to originate some new breed.
1t sounds nice to hear yourself spoken
of as the originator of some new and
valuable breed; but few succeed in
starting a variety of fowls that amount
to anything.
At recent meeting of the Oxford
Farmers Club Mr. Linter said: flour
geese are good for pound of feathers
every six weeks, and their feathers
are worth fifty cents each year. We
are looking for something that pays.
We have it in the goose But it is not
fashionable now for farmers wives
and daughters to pick geese. It is
hard to find any fancy work that pays
much. Any smart girl can make mus
Gle and money raising geese. /"
The American Agriculturlst advises,
if you can't get meat for your fowls,
buy them some cotton-seed meal. If
fed daily one pint to mess of soft
food for 200 hens is sufficient. Milk is
also an excellent substitute for meat,
and, in fact, is considered preferable
by some poultry keepers. No matter
how we'll balanced their ration may
be, change it often. A variety of food
is best.
