have different ways of wasting plant
fertility-ways that, though differing,
all lead to disastrous results. With the
great majority of farmers who waste
valuable plant food it is the old story
of allowing stable manure to deteri-
crate before its application to the soil
In many cases it is thrown out OF
doors, to be leeched of its most valu-
able qualities by every rain and shower,
or TO be more or less completely de-
stroyed by heating. The majority of
farm barns do not have. and in many
cases cannot have. cellars under them,
in which manure can be kept without
losing any of its value. A plan that
may be serviceable to such as are thus
situated is presented in the illustration
and the diagram accompanying this

no. Anaeles Bras. Foundry.

Among the important manufacturing
establishments of Los Angeles is the
brass foundry and finishing works of
Mr.. James Jones, located on the corner
of Seventh and Spring streets, and is
one OF the best equipped establishments
for making brass goods for plumbers,
steam filters, water and gas companies
on the coast. The factory building COW
ers an area OF 25x150, and contains the
finest kind of machinery in the United
States.
In the face of large amount OF COM
petition, Mr.. Jones secured the contracts
for the finished marble brass work TO go
with the lavatories, bath rooms and
water closets, also the brass mould
ings for the magnificent business
blocks erected by Messrs. Stimson and
Bradbury. The work furnished by Mr..
Jones will add great deal to the ele.
gantly finished interior OF the handsome
edifices. Mr.. Jones has facilities of
getting out designs, patterns and tools
for the different kinds of brasswork he
manufactures. Viewing the fact that
Mr.. Jones has only been in Los Angeles
one year, he has nevertheless built up
an extensive business, owing to the uni
versal satisfaction which he has given
throughout his brief though busy busi-
mesa career. Mr.. Jones hails from st.
Louis, where he was the founder OF two
of the largeBt brassworks in Missouri,
and also entertains the hope OF having
the largest establishment OF its kind
in Southern California.

Meat on Onion Tlme.

More meat can be produced in the
shortest time from the duck than from
any other living thing ON the farm. The
farmer who has drake and elk ducks
will get something like 800 or 1000 eggs
from them in "a year, and he can set the
eggs under hens aud have ducklings from
the time the first lot comes out, which
is often az early as February, until late
in GUNNER. 1t should not cost over six
cents to produce pound OF duck meat,
and they grow go rapidly as to leave
chicks far in the rear. A duckling
should weigh, if forced, foar pounds in
eight weeks. We have had them to
gain pound in one week.
or course, we had the Pekins, and
used only the largest and best we could
procure for breeding purposes. and we
have raised hundreds that never cav
water except in trough, no ponds or
streams being used. No quicker way OF
supplying meat for the farmers table
can be suggested than for him to
batch out large lot of ducklings, and
he can get good price for all ne may
cell. Roast dncs is better dish than
salt pork, and can be had just as cheaply,
as the duck can be raised on this same

Santa Ana Becomes tho Depot for That
Product.
A gentleman from Santa Ana informs
this paper that the exports of celery
from that place average one carload of Is
tons day. The celery is grown on the
black peat in that vicinity, and is fre-
quently produced in trenches cut in
between the walnut trees, which gives
vast incsease of value to the black lands
in that vicinity.
Some of this celery farming is done
by Chineee labor, the pagans receiving
one cent per bunch for each bunch pro-
duced by them.
Most OF this celery goes to the cities of
the Mississippi valley, but San Fran
cisco takes larger proportion of it than
would be at fret imagined. Eighty dol
lars per acre is no extravagant estimate
OF the yield of this delicious vegetable.

ly increased beauty and variety of
woolen textiles had for q while driven

is more nearly even now than it has

has been gained: Whereas formerly
the handsomer the material the more it
was considered imperativ to load it with
still handsomer ornaments, wadays
I the intrinsic beauty of the fabric counts
Tor much and is made the most of. So
we see handsome silks constructed in
