ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SIC
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart OF Tehama County, for the
p1rpCse of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
DO, so, 120, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to he paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is 20 have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instaliments, with in
terest at the rate OF z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecfally adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accom- plishmcnt.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
tc diligent husbandry.

TENDER TURKEY.

Probably no other farm stock can be
made to yield larger return on money in
vested than turkeys. Many persons are
deferred from trying to raise them be-
cause Of tenderness OF the Young. There
need be little loss from this cause if Ger
tain points are carefully observed for the
first seven or eight weeks OF the pOUiCS
life These are: ROonly rainprOOf cOOpS
in dry, sunny spot. Precautions against
vermin by dusting the mother Plentifully
with insect powder n few days before
Matching time, and oiling her head and
neck lightly with hen fat or olive oil.
When the young are hatched dust them
with the powder and anOint each little
head with not more than q drop OF the
Oil; grease in quantity is injurious. Feed
four times day the first two weeks with
dry wheat bread dampencd with sweet
milk and crumbed with hard-bOi!ed eggs,
adding occasionally a little onion, purs-
the second week the little turks will
and baked oatmeal, middlings or johnny
cake. DO not give sloppy food. Drink
shOUld be given in vessels so shallow
that only their bills can get wet. Lastly,
after the first week give all the freedom
possible on warm, dry days, keeping the
mother cooped, but letting the poults run
out in pens where the grass is kept short.
The ills common to turkey babyhCOd
may be considered over when their heads
begin to show red. They may then be
turned out to forage for themselves
through the day, only giving a feed of
grain and curd night and morning to
keep them tame and induce them to
come home to rOOst.

FARM NOTES.

Those who are obliged to keep their
poultry confined all the time NAV, by
giving an hours liberty just at night,
provide daily grass ration and quite q
supply of animal food without any ex-
pense. The amount Of scratching a hen
can do in one hour in the morning is sur
prising, but at night this may be avoided.
To have the least trouble with young
calf never let it suck its mother, or, if it
has sucked before finding, remove at
once. By the use of a finger at first in a
pail of milk suitably warmed, the calf
will learn to drink. If the calf is TO be
fattened continue to let it suck the finger
in the milk as long as it will. The calf
gets the milk more slowly that way, and
mikes more saliva with it.
j. H. Hale, who has wide experience
with strawberries, writes 10 the Bt1u,
journal that he obtains the greatest pos
sible yield OF fine fruit by the narrow
row system, and not from hills or from
the wide or matted-rOw system. The
matted row does we'll when quantity OF
new plants are wanted in addition to the
fruit, but they cannot be kept clear OF
weeds and grass without great labor.
The length of time COW should go dry
depends upon the breed and the animal,
SO that no definite rule can be given. 1t
is hardly possible to dry Oft some cows,
but all should have a period ofrest before
calving, when it can be effected. -Four
weeks may be regarded as long enough
for any cow to go dry, a longer period
than this interferes seriously with the
profit to be attained from her.

CHINESE FRUIT BUYERS.

IT is high time that the horticulturists
of California were arOusing themselves.
First, the vegetable business drifted out
of their hands into that of Chinese and
Dagoes. Now, the growing of small
fruits is largely given over to Cinnamon,
and the retail fruit and vegetable mar

FRIENDLY ANTS.

Many persons view with suspicion
colony of ants going up and down a fruit
tree, especially if it is infested with scale
insects, and are in doubt whether to re-
gard them as friends or foes. \ CORE
spOndent of the Philadelphia SLtstyt{yy
ECe8iag Post relates the following inter
esting facts bearing on the subject:
MANY of the leading orchard proprie
tors in Northern Italy and Southern Ger
many are cultivators of the common
black ant, which insect they hold in high
esteem as the fruit-grower's best friend.
They establish ant hills in their orchards.
and leave the police service of their fruit
trees entirely to their tiny colonists.
which pass all their time in climbing up
the stems of the fruit trees, cleansing the
bOughs and leaves of Indicators, ma
tured as we'll as embryotic, and descend
ing laden with spoils 20 the ground, where
they comfortably consume or prudently
store away their booty.
'They never meddle with sound fruit,
but only invade such apples, pears and
plums as have already been penetrated
by the canker, which they remorse-
leSsly pursue to It's taStneSS within the
very heart of the fruit. Nowhere are
apple and pear trees so free from blight
and destructive insects as in the imme-
date neighborhood OF large ant-hill
five or six years Old. Ants have been
used in China for many years to protect
orange trees and other fruit trees from
the depredations Of insects. DIR. G. L.
MacGOwan, i'll a communication to Pro
fessor C. V. Riley, gives a curious ac-
count of the use Of ants in the vicinity of
Hongkong. In many parts of the Pro-
vince of Canton the orange trees are in
iured by certain worms, and, to rid them
selves OF these pests, the inhabitants i'm
port ants from the neighbOring hills.
Two species of ants-the red and yellow,
which build their nests suspended from
the branches of treeS-are collected and
sold to the owners of orange trees. The
trees are colonized by placing the ants on
their upper branches; bamboo rods are
stretched between tie trees, so as to give
the ants easy access 10 the whole orchard.
This remedy, it is said, has been III con-
slant use since 1910, and probably from
mich earlier PERIOD
