FARM HINTS.
THINGS THE FARMER OUGHT
TO KNOW.
Must Read and Think.
II. II. Dow in CultiTator.)

If. II. Dow in CultiTator.)
A portion of the farmers time
should be occupied in reading and
study, that he may the better be
able to carry on his business in q
more profitable and intelligent
manner.
I always like to see good books
occupying a prominent place in a
farmers home; and papers and
magazines should by no means be
neglected. These aid the farmer
greatly and help TO make his life
more interesting and comfortable.
1t is good plan now to sum up
the result of the past seasons ex-
perience and make note of what We
wish to do in the future, what SEED
have given satisfaction the past
year and what ought we to SOW
next.
1t is astonishing to see so many
farm implements and machines lett
out around the barn and in the
fields, exposed to the weather.
These tools cost considerable money
and they receive more injury while
thus lying idle but exposed to the
weather, than they do from constant
use on the farm. No matter how
few tools farmer has, he should
have shelter for them when they
are not in use and they should
always be found there at those
times. A pillow even should never
be left in the field over night. 1t
pays to see to these matters.
Restlessness enters into the make
up Of the American farmer to a
large degree. Now, this is all well
enough when it is directed in the
proper course, but when it crops
out in a constant desire to be Shift
ing around from one thing to anoth-
er, or a desire to change his location
often, it is certainly bad for himself
and family; because more than
likely, most OF the changes will
prove detrimental to his success III
life, if not actual ruin. A course
should be mapped out at first, one
we'll adapted to the farm; and this
should be adhered to as nearly a.
can be, If found reasonably profit
able; and when once we'll stabllshee
on a fam 1T Is not often best to sell
ont and move to some other location.

Now that the summer season is nearly
here, people are beginning to think of
where they will pass the time. A large
number have engaged rooms for the sea-
son at the Redondo hotel, both from the
east and the cities nearer this coast.
Several Los Angeles people have put
up cottages here at the beach this spring,
and building is still going on. If the
improvement in the future is as rapid as
that of the past has been, it will not be
long before we are numbered among the
large towns.

An Angeleno From That Country and

Dr. G. Knepper, the First-street dem
tist, returned from trip to Central
America few days ago. He was five
days in Guatemala city. and reports
things in that country in a very unset
tied condition. During the recent war
the government issued Sc, ,OOO,O 900 of pa
per money, which is regarded worthless.
The proprietor of an American circus
was recently arrested for refusing to ac-
Cept this money as admission to his
show. The matter was made test case
in the courts, and the circus man won
He has now sued the government
for $4,000 damages. In regard to
business chances down there, the doctor
stated he was offered splendid induce
ments to practice his profession, but he
declined, on the ground of his objections
to the climate and the social condition.
Many American professional and busl-
ness men are doing well in Guatemala,
but it is no fit place fora Man with a
family, or for persons who have regard
for their health. The climate is very
warm, moist and unhealthy, and it is
not safe for women or children to ven
ture on the streets unattended. On the
whole, DR.. Knepper was very glad to get
back to Los Angeles, of which he has
been resident for a number of years.

BROKE HIS NECK.
An Unknown Man and His Mys-
terious Death.

AN OukuOWu Mau anu I1lS MyS-
terious Death.
Yesterday morning as the outbound
train ON the Southern Pacific had ar
rived within about quarter of mile of
San Gabriel, the trainmen discovered
the body of a man lying beside the track.
The train was stopped and an investiga-
tion showed that the man was dead, al
though no marks of injury nor violence
could be found on the body. Coroner
Weldon was notified and he at once
went out and held an inquest. post
mortem revealed the fact that the man s
neck had been broken. There was moth
ing whatever found on the person of the
deceased. which would throw any light
on his identity. 1t is supposed that he
had been beating his way on the night
train, and in trying to get off had
slipped or been thrown, striking on his
head. Death must have been instantan-
eous. He is described as being me-
dunn built man, about 80 years of age,
weighing probably 140 pounds.
