MEASURING HAY IN THE STACK.

We are often asked how to measure
hay, and while we have had some ex-
perience, We prefer to adopt that of
others to our own. The Northwestern
Agriculturist on this subject very cor
rectlY says that measuring is very
crude, unsatisfactory method of esti-
mating the weight of hay. There are
times, however, when 1t is imprac-
ticable to use the scales, and a close
approximation to the true weight will
answer all purposes. Then, by taking
into consideration that fine, soft hay
will pack more closely than n coarser,
sitter quality, that when cut early in
the season it will become more solid
and stiff than late cut hay, that the
degree of dryness when stacked will
affect the weight, that the compact
ness of the lower part of the sack or
load is affected by the height, the
time it has stood, or the distance and
kind of road it has Travelled over, it is
quite possible for person of ordinary
experience and judgment TO make an
estimate of the quantity in a load or
NOW. 1t is estimated that with the
above mentioned conditions at an
average, timothy, in stacks of ten
feet high and upward, measures about
500 cubic feet 10 the ton, clear clover
between coo and 100 cubic feet. To
find the cubic seet in "a circular stack,
multiply the square OF the circumfer-
ence by four one-hundredths Goa OF
the height, Below is given a set OF
rules for computing the number OF
cubic yards in ton OF hay in the
field, stack or load, which can be
easily reduced to culio feet uy multi.

TEMPERANCE
THE DRrNEER's INGENUITY.

/
| In his book "John Bull & Co." Max O'Rell
narrates the following incident which came
under his own eyes in Australia, "a man
| Of about forty, with drawn face, haggard
/ eyes and the sad sinister expression OF n
Chinaman in an opium den, presented him
self at nine O'Clock In the morning at the
| private bar OF the hotel where had put up.
He laid down sixpence. and was served with
glass OF whisky. He added r little water
with shaking hand. carried the glass to
| his lips, and at one draught swallowed the
contents. Then, silent and without lifting
his dull and staring eyes from the ground,
he went away. Half an hour later he re-
turned. His hand was trembling more and
moro and seemed TO refuse to lend itself
longer to the task imposed upon II. The
hotel keeper who had noticed my interest in
the scene. said TO me; In the intervals he
goes to another hotel and gets a drink. II
You have nothing particular TO do, remain
where YOU are and you will see something
that will repay you for your trouble. At
about 1890 the poor wretch appeared at the
bar for the seventh time. The sixpence was
laid down, the glass nlled The hand went
to the glass, but had no longer the power to
take II. After many efforts. however, the
glass was grasped, but even then the drink
could not be conveyed TO the mouth.
1.-THE drunkard darted a furtive glance
from right to left. IL seemed TO him that no
one was looking. He drew a long silk hand
kerchief from his pocket and passed IL
round his neck. With his two hands he led
the two extremities. In his right hand he
grasped the glass. and drawing the end
which was in his left hand, the ingenious
drunkard made a pulley OF the handker-
chief, and succeeded In conveying the whis-
ky TO his lips. He put down the glass,
dragged himself TO the door. and edging
himself along by the walls, found his way
home for few hours repose. This thing
has been going on for three years, said the
landlord. but the pulley trick he culy took
up month ago. II is the last stage, Soon
he will be no longer able to swallow, and de-
lirlum tremens will carry him OF. "

SETTING FOREST FIRES.

Good news comes from Santa Cruz to the
effect that the report of the destruction of
the big tree grove is untrue. Meanwhile
the fire in that region, besides destroying
thousands of acres of fine redwood forests,
has invaded the orchard section of SCOTS
Valley and may do great damage. Re-
ports from Monterey County show that
the chaparral Of the Gabilan range is burn
ing. Probably this fire was deliberately
set. Such custom prevails to certain
extent in chaparral regions, as the destruc-
ton of the old brush causes a free growth
of succulent shoots which make excellent
pasturage.
This is a dangerous practice and calls
for the strictest kind of prohibitory ordi-
nances. If the counties are unable or I'M
willing to take the action the State should
interfere. 1t is true that the setting of
fires would be one of the most difficult
things to detect, but the offering of gener-
Gus rewards to informers might nave a
beneficial effect.
More dangerous than the practice of set
ting chaparraI fires is the carelessness of
hunters and camping parties in the forests.
This should be made criminal by statute.

HARBOR EXPENSES.

The report of the determination by the
Harbor Commission to reduce the expenses
of conducting the States business on the
water front is encouraging. 1t will be
hard for the deserving men who hold the
positions to lose them, but that is one of
the ordinary contingencies of life, and, as
the State is not a benevolent institution
and is supposed to conduct its affairs on
ordinary business principles, it must yield
to whatever business necessities NAV arise.
Within the last few years nearly every
business has been compelled to reduce ex-
penses, by discharging men whose services
were rendered unnecessary by shrinkage.
Until the State shall have greatly modified
its plan of conducting its business (Which,
perhaps, would not be a misfortune) it
must conform to the principles upon which
it was founded.
Every proper reduction made in the dis
charge of its duties will place the Harbor
Commission in position to make many
improvements which are greatly needed.
Some of the wharves on the water front
are in a disgraceful and dangerous con-
dition. In the vicinity of the Pacific Mail
dock the condition of affairs at present ex-
lied country but this. The present Board
of Harbor Commissioners has shown a
disposition to do everything in its power
to remedy existing evils, and this is re-
freshing change from the old order of
things. The State is charged with the re-
sponsibility of guarding interests on the
water front which are very important to
the whole people.
1t would be too much to expect of this
commission that it could at once remodel
the management and conditions of the
water front to conform to urgent neces-
sites. 1t has an enormous task in the
erection of the new ferry depot, and it's
recent progress in that undertaking indi-
Gates desire to render the most intelli-
gent service. If the reduction of useless
expenditures in the employment of men
who are not needed viii assist toward the
making of other improvem ents which are
as necessary as the ferry building, the cur
tailment will not have been made in vain.

A DEPL0RABLE FIGHT.

San Diego County takes the initiative in
organizing to secure from the Supreme
Court of the United States decision up
holding Judge Ross and so declaring the
Wright irrigation act unconstitutional.
We are assured that Large property-ow
ers in irrigation districts, and especially
those who are non-residents and, therefore,
liable to heavy assessments without a vote,
have been most liberal in supplying funds
to make bitter fight" 1t is the intention
of the wealthy land -owners and bankers
to employ Joseph H. Choate to lead the
legal forces arrayed against irrigation in
California.
1t should be borne in mind that in apply
ing the Wright law to the necessities of the
State the landowners who sought its bene-
fits were moved solely by desire to rem
der their lands productive. Without irri-
CATION their property would be practically
worthless; with irrigation they were rea-
sonably assured of generous return from
the soil. They are the valuable and pro-
gressive men of the State, who in seeking
to better their own condition would add
largely to the wealth of California. In the
formation of an irrigation district under
is taxed for the construction of irrigatiEg
bitches. The tax thus falls as well upon
unprogressive landowners those who are
burden to the State and hindrance to
its progress, with no desire to i'm prove
their property or reap the rewards OF en-
ergy and enterprise. Among these are
great number of non resident owners,
who hold their possessions for speculative
purposes.
1t is this latter element which is ar
rayed against the Wright irrigation law.
1t is composed generally of wealthy men
of the silurian class, and they choose to
regard their interests as opposed to those
of the earnest, industrious and enterprising
men who believe in California and wish to
enjoy the full benefits of a home and resi-
dence here. This should be clearly under
stood, for such an understanding would
give proper direction to public sentiment
and make the merits of the controversy
unmistakable. 1t is conceivable that here
and there the land of property-owner in
a district does not need irrigation but
from the necessity of things such property
owners must be in a very small minority,
and their individual interests cannot be
permitted to stand in the wav of the COM
munity progress.
AS those opposed to irrigation are gen.
orally wealthy and strong the real farmers
and producers, the backbone and sinew of
the State, are placed at disadvantage,
and this fact will require all the harder
work on their part. In sense their homes
and prosperity are at stake. That realiza-
ton should be sufficient to inspire them
with the greatest energy.
