any hen with good care and management

very poor hen indeed that will not lay sew

Kansas Farm Hedees.

Much of tho farm fencing in Kansas is
in the form Of hedges of that thorny, dense
growing shrub, the Usage orange, which,
if left untrimmed, develops into small
tree. Except in towns or in the immediate
front Of farm houses a well trimmed hedge
is rarity, and the traveller on Kansas
rural roads may go for miles at a stretch
shut in on the right and left by high,
thicketlike hedges, which oyortop his car

ing the south breeze, -ssl3fh if unchecked

heats In winter the N'umble weed and
white delicate looking tickle grass, blown
by the wind, lodge beneath and against
these hedges in long drifts, like snow. If
a spark happens to drop among this drift
ed finder, there is no checking the fire
that follows Many hedges are destroyed
annually in this way, and not few dwell

Many Heartrending Scenes.

Altogether about fifty of the passengers
reached the deck, where the widest con
fusion existed Wild rushes were made
for the boats, but the terrible excitement
prevailing ilnpeded the efforts Of those
who were trying TO clear them away.
Many heartrending scenes were witnessed
between parents and children in the few
moments preceding the sinking of the
vessel.
There is some disagreement among the
survivors as TO the number of boats that
We're launched. One survivor Karl A.
Hoffman, declares that only two boats
were launched One of these was swamped
instantly, and only one Of its occupants, a
girl named Anna Boeoker, who was bound
for Southampton, vas rescued. She clung
TO a piece of wreckage, which she grasped
80 tightly that it was only with difficulty
that she was dragged into the second boat
She was just returning from the deathbed
of her father and mother.
Meanwhile the cry was raised on the
doomed vessel for the women and children

away from the port side, in which was the
hole caused by the Crathie. The half faint

The fruit exchanges have good cause to exult
over the success of their operations thus far
this season. If orders keep coming at the
present rate, the crop will be cleaned up much
earlier than ever before and at prices that will
be more than satisfactory to the growers. AS

by outside shippers. This same advertisement
classes San Antonio and Duarte Exchange fruit

seems to prevail at the East that Riverside
embraces the the entire citrus belt. To eradi-
cate this misconception it is probable that the
exchanges will next year have Autographed

1t is interesting to note that we are getting
the turn on the egg business and are sending

issue Mr.. Whitman told in an interesting way
how 1t is that these 'western eggs are rolled
together to food our far western markets Our
shipment far eastward this winter is COM
meroial novelty The Chicago dealer who was
selling California eggs last week says that this
is the first time that California eggs were ever
sold east of the Missouri river "Never before,'
says this Chicago egg expert, "would such
shipment have been profitable. The price in
San Francisco frequently ranges from SO to go

shipped four or five carloads of eggs from
Chicago to San Francisco and sold them there
at 1654 cents dozen, but last winterwas warm
and eggs were cheap in Chicago. The whole
carload we bought in San Francisco cost us IL
cents q dozen and we have ordered another
carload. The freight cost 80 cents q dozen,
leaving us q nice profit. The carload contained
$4,000 dozen. They are what are called Cali

The hens in the west seem to be on q ssrike,

two old. There are no fresh eggs now in Can
