Farm Notes.
Pertinent Paragraphs.

Ostrich farming is not a bonanza to
the man without experience. The 162
ostriches on the farm of the California
Ostrich company at Anaheim, valued
ut $4,000 and assessed for 81, 600,
have boen sold for $4,000. We wouldn t
advise any young man with $500 cap
ital and no experience to go into
ostrich farming for profit.
The owners of 5000 acres of vine
yards in the Saratoga district of the
Santa Clara valley have combined
with two objects, first, TO market their
own wines in the east, without carry
ing the burden of middlemen, and,
second, to see that no poor wine goes
out with the brand of the organiza-
ton. There is an enormous differ
ence between the price the producer
gets for all kinds of crops and the
price the consumer pays, and a large
part of the difference can be saved to
the producer, in almost every product,
by such combination managed with
ability and honesty.

Phoebe couzins Bellirerent.

A Chicago dispatch of April 13 says !:
The war between the executive com
mittee of the lady managers of the
worlds fair and Secretary Couzins
was brought to climax to-day by the
positive refusal of Miss Couzins to
recognize the authority of the SUBJ
committee, headed by Mrs Potter
Palmer. Miss Couzins said she would
neither retire nor appear before the
committee; that she was legally a
member of the board oflady managers
and was not amenable to discipline
from the executive committee.
She also declared that if this com
mittee undertook to depose her she
should appeal to the courts. A fear
was quite generally expressed this
evening that the feud may entirely
disrupt the board of lady managers.
as Mrs. Palmer, it is pointed out, is a
woman of great ability and determin-
alton Of character, and Miss Couzins
has legal education and a remark

For fifty years to come horticul-
tural interests will probably increase,
and among horticulturists the skilled
fruit-grower, owning from ten to fifty
arres of land, will best represent his
class. Such person is likely to be
more of a business man than the
average farmer, and is in closer rela-
tions to town and city life. He is
compelled to travel more, watches the
markets and the fields of invention
closer and represents, all in all, finer
type. A California fruit-grower is in
some respects akin to the middle class
of suburban dwellers near Boston and
New York, with this very important
difference, that he actually and con-
stantly makes his living from the soil
he owns. The one tendency of his
life is toward what may be termed
"extreme Californianism' for he is
growing almonds or oranges or some-
thing or other that cannot be pro-
duced at profit in many other places
on the continent, and the "glorious
climate I" is his best friend. But, on
the other hand, he is in skilled bust
ness, full of technical details, requir-
ing plenty of brain work, and he is
selling in the world S markets. Many
a aCalifornia grower of raisins, oranges,
walnuts, olives, prunes or other horti-
cultural products goes to Chicago and
New York every autumn to keep the
run of the field" The drift of Pacific
coast life is toward rapid increase of
the number of orchardists. They are
organized, too, in a manner unknown
among the farmers, and have several
times shown unsuspected courage in
Independent politics. Some of these
days professional politicians will have
to deal with new factor-the horti-
culturist, distinct evolution from the
conservative American farmer type,
quicker of brain, less welded to party
bonds, and more capable of UNDER
standing the interests of the common
wealth. n. Shinn in the Pop

Whoever buys bird seed at retail
pays a huge profit to the dealer, even
when weighed out of seeds in bulk !;
to use the pound paste-board boxes is
still more costly. These are often
adulterated with millet, which no bird
eats unless forced by hunger; we'll
fed birds waste tso much the package
might as well be weighed with sand.
I sowed some German rape from one
was wild mustard or charlock, Sinapis
arvensis. But it is good bird seed all
the same, and it may be gathered in
quantity from the fields in many
places. Pull the plants and hang
them in punches till dry, then the
seed can be cleaned very easily.
Turnips set out in spring will yield
bird seed, and mustard seed may be
fed to some extent. Canary grass
sown in garden drills foot apart, and
kept hoed, will yield long succession
of heads, first from the top of the
stem then from the lower points. Cut,
not pull, them as they ripen, dry and
rub them out, winnow in large pan.
Hemp is easily grown in the garden
or any out of the way corner Some
hemp plants are males, pull them up
mostly as soon as you can tell them
their flowers swing by fine threads,
the females are in thick, erect spikes.
One male plant is enough to keep.
Turkeys will break down hemp some
times, and hens will eat up canary
grass if they can get to it.-Viek's Is

Secretary of State Blaine has at last
the king of Italy in regard to the New
Orleans lynching. He says first, that
the only criminal proceedings possible
will probably be those in the state
courts, though the question has been
submitted to the United States at
torney general; second, the treaty
with Italy does not guarantee any
money indemnity to the Italians or
their families, but only the same pro-
lection afforded to United States citi-
zens, and that is the right to sue the
members of the mob for damages !;
third, if the authorities of Louisiana
had due notice of the intention of the
lynchers and did not attempt to pre-
vent their action, and if any of the
men who were killed were italian citi-
zens who resided in this country mot
in violation of our immigration laws"
this bars out at least three of the four
claimed to have been italian citizens
who were criminals whose immigra-
ton was illegal) the president would
feel that case had been established
which should be submitted to con
gress with view to the relief of the
families of such italian citizens.
Mr.. Blaine says: ST am directed by
the president to express the satisfac-
ton of his government with the very
material qualification of his demand
made by the marquis Rudini on be-
half of the italian government. But
he gives no encouragement to expect
that even the modified demands of
Italy will be acceded to.

and duties of housekeeing and home-
making without the knowledge gained
by experience in handling money.
The safest and least humiliating
place to acquire this ease is under the
home-roof where dear, sympathetic
mother can guide and advise. against
errors. Children may be trained very
early to understand and appreciate
the value of money, and I know of no
better way than to allow them to pur-
chase some simple articles for the
house.
All children should have a little
money of their own to accustom them
to personal expense. No child realizes
the unavoidable expense he is to his
parents unless he handles and, if pos
sible, earns some of the money that is
used in keeping him comfortable and
happy. Such knowledge, if properly
brought to child's notice, will only
serve to make him more considerate
of his parents and less likely to make
them needless trouble.
This habit of allowing young folks
spin money" is a familiar one in
many families, but few, I think, take
the pains to instruct them in the i'm
portant art of judicious buying. Chill
dren enjoy little importantance very
much, and will exercise great care il
sent on an errand in which they may
use their own judgment. When the
result is unsatisfactory, gently point
out the fault; if all is well, be equally
sure to give due need of praise, for
much is due the child who succeeds
while learning something new.
One girl can never forget how hard
was her path when, on going at seven

for the first time in her life, had all

experience in this kind of work, for

completely at the mercy of the store
keeper and, on reaching home, ex-
tremely liable to her aunt's dis
pleasure.

Crows are commonly said to live for

1t is said by scientists that fishes and
moIIusks living at depth of more than
three miles under water have to bear a
pressure Of several tons, the weight being
that Of the superintendent brine, which
excrts its power from all sides. The
reason they are able to bear this tremen-
dous weight is because they have exceed
ingly loose tissues, which allows the
water to flow through every interstice,
thus equali2ng the weight. When the
pressure is removed they die almost in

A Young HridcEroom's Embarrassing
Experience at the Hoard of Trade.
A day or two ago, a few minutes be-
fore the opening of the board of trade,
There stepped into one of the elevators in
thu building well known commission
man and country customer. The
rounHynan was a young, fresh faced.
msophisJicated looking chap, who was
in Chicago for the first time looking
after couple of cars of wheat that he
had shipped in. As the elevator rose he
casually remarked to the commission
man: Il was married last night and this
is a sort OF bridal trip" Congratula-
tons were extended by the commission
man as they stepped out in the hail lead
ing to the exchange Among the others
who rode up in the elevator was a GER
tain blonde young man whose love for
practical Joke has made him rather
famous ON the floor. He had CHANGED
to stand back to back with the young
countryman, had overheard the conf
dental admission made by him to his
friend, and as they stepped from the
elevator he managed to get good look
at Mr.. Younghusband.
An hour or so later, when he had a
few moments to himself, he stepped over
to the telegraph counter and wrote up a
blank: Il have bet 500 to $40 that you
We're recently married. Do | win my

envelope, and calling a messenger boy

lie told few of his cronies on the
floor what he had done and the young
countIyman was watched with consider
able interest by a dozen or twenty traders
in various parts of the crowd. He re-
ceiycl the message from the boy with
half doubling look, opened it slowly, and
as he comprchended its contents his face
was dyed a deep crimson, while a foolish
smile lifted the corner of his mouth. He
booked about him sheepishly to see if he
could discover the author of the message
and then beat a rather precipitous re-
treat. He failed to put in an appearance
AGAIN that day. Subsequently the author
of thcuota asked the young mans broker
if he had said anything about it.

To Preserve keRuty.

Beauty that is lasting and really worth
while is more or less dependent upon
good circulation. While a good circula-
ton is made possible by correct pose,
proper breathing, and the judicious care
of the skin, something else is also neCos-
sary to insure the normal quality and
activity of the blood: and this some
thing consists in a combination of sun
shine and exercise in the open air. Town
jewellers have too little of these blessings,
partly from circumstances and partly
lack of wit. Exercise is the most i'm
portant natural tonic of the body. With
out it there can be no large, compact,
muscular frame. 1t is as essential to
physical development as air is to life, and
an imperative necessity in the mainten-
ance of beauty. To keep the complexion
and spirits good, to preserve grace,
strength, and ability of motion, there is
no gymnasium so valuable as the daily
round of house work, no exercises more
beneficent in their results than sweeping,
busting, making beds, washing dishes,
and the polishing of silver and brass.
One year of such muscular effort within
doors, together with regular exercise in
the open air, will do more for woman's
complexion than all the lotions and
pomades that ever were invented Per-
haps the reason why house work does so
much more for women than games, is
the fact that exercise which is immedi-
ately productive cheers the spirit. 1t
gives women the courage to go on with
living, and makes things seem really
worth while DIR. Louise Fiske Bryson.
