THE death of Hon. Frank NJ. Pixley
removes a remarkable man. His intel
leot entitled him to be ranked as brilliant,
his eloquence placed him among Cali
fornia orators, his learning and his sue
cess at the bar gave him the right to be
considered a sound and fearless lawyer,
his political and journalistic life made
him publicist. AS Journalist he was
among the most fearless, caustic, graceful
and incisive of writers. his weakness be-
Ing the substitution of his personal preju-
dlces for the more valuable judgment
that comes from careful and judicial
weighing of reasons and consideration of
policies. Mr.. Pixley was largely the man
of impulse, and where he was moved to
go he went despite obstacles, either from
impulse or from sober conviction. Such
was his courage that it may well be said
he had fear of no man, and that this led
the very few. He was in one sense
broad minded, and in another narrow
that is to say. where his judgment was
appealed to free from his prejudices he
was broad. But it is to be said that Mr.
Pixley's impulses never led him in other
directions than those the liberty loving
olean-living and self-respecting citizen
would desire to take. Even where his
embittered prejudice led him to assail in
matters of religion and of politics, his
bitterest enemies old not attribute to him
insincerity, or challenge the cleanlin ess
of his life. Frank Pixley was one of the
peculiarly prominent men of California,
and filled large place in the public eye
and thought for moro than thirty years.
The death of such man becomes then
a matter of public concern and remark.
Mr.. Pixley died regretted by an ex-
tremely large circle of friends, for he had
the personal qualities that attached to
him host of mon who honored and re-
spected him in private walks far more
than most men did in public

THEY have practical way Of teaching
children civics in England. The New
York Post tells of an English school
book that has been listed in the official
register for Evening Continuation
Schools" that simply and very directly
informs the child on some vital topics
stood by all school children. An extract
from the book with transposition to fit
the American case reads something like
this, and suggests the value of such
works for American children:
% In those days If men rebelled against
the law they were called traitors to the King,
and when they were caught, if the king were
strong enough. he used TO punish them. Now,
however. that the laws are made by all for
the benefit OF all, anybody who tries by force
TO break them or set them aside is traitor TO
his country and TO ms cOttlt3yTieB who have
made the law which Is bad enough TO break.
Therefore, you see, in America, 1t must al
ways be wrong to use force or violence, or to
dsobey the law.
(S( do not mean that all the laws that are
made are good ones. or that we shall be wise
in always resting content with the laws as
they are. On the contrary, there are many
laws which are bad in themselves, and there
are many others which become useless or old
fashioned as times change.
(9.) But If ID law be bad, or if it be no longer
needed, there is one way, and one way only,
in which 1t rightly be altered or got rid of
that is. by persuading the majority of voters
that it is bad or out OF date, and getting them
through their members OF Congress or the
Legislature to change it or to do away with II.
In q free country q tar must be 0beged until ii
is altered 1t can only be altered by act Of

by any other means is q traitor 10 his country.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks, the celebrated
storm prophet, of St. Louis, is now a
household name in nearly every home
in America. His wonderful Almanac
predicts the weather for year ahead
more correctly and accurately than any
other publication or any other system.
The testimony of large number of care
full observers is that SO per cent of Hicks
predictions are fulfilled to the letter.
His series of annual Almanacs are now
we'll and favorably known in all parts of
this country and in foreign lands. The
new Almanac for 1896 is the most practi-
Cal and instructive as we'll as the pref
Jiest of this splendid series. It contains
100 pages, printed on fine book paper,
with covers elegantly printed in colors.
The matter, although scientific, is writ
ten in popular style, there being nothing
difficult to understand about it. It is
also finely illustrated. Don't confound
this with some patent medicine pam
phlet. 1t is nothing of the kind, but is
fine book, which sells at all news stands
for Csc This fine Almanac is given as
a premium to every yearly subscriber to
the Rev. Ira R. Hicks well-known and
deservedly popular paper, Word and

less educator of the masses, and is fast
becoming household guardian and

Valley, Arizona, where 1 have spent the
summer; no doubt this is the largest
irrig ated section in the United States.
Wonderful crops of alfalfa are raised,
and the finest cattle and horses in
America. But the summers are very
warm-the temperature ever since last
June has been every day over 100. Days

showers since last March, neither lasted
one hour. We depend wholly on irrigation.
They cut crop of alfalfa every five
weeks, if the land is properly irrigated,
about two tons of hay at each cutting;
one acre will furnish two COWS pasture
whole year.
Land under irrigating bitches comes
very high with water right. A water
right of 100 inches sells for $4,000 or "a
dollars miners inch; 100 inches is sup
posed to be enough for 100 acres! After
laying your water through the land it
takes great deal money to get it in
shape for crops. Land that water can
not be gotten on is worthless; (not worth
10 cents an acre). Not one third of the
land is under irrigation a. present but

Curing Pea Vines.


sas Experimental alton, and thinking
it good plan have tried it with the
very best results. One could not wish
better or cheaper way to cure the pea
or crab grass for hay.
AS grass Can be cut in the morning or
forenoon and let lay in the sun until one
or two o'clock then haul it on the rack,
as described in report Of bulletin, of
course this grass will be green but dry
Of dew or water, and when put on the
rack will cure nicely, leaving it dark
green color. This is by far the best way
have vet found for curing hay in this
State, and it will pay any farmer to build
rack and put good substantial roof
on it so that no rain can get in while the
grass is curing. This feed question is a
big one with the orange grower and
trucker, and it behooves them to study
every point whereby they may save,
which means gain. While this is one'of
the many and also one of the most i'm
portant planks we can use for bridging
the span between this and another or
ange crop, it should have special atten-
ton.
Rye, oats and corn can be grown to
very good advantage and the time is soon
here to sow both rye and oats;heretofore
seeded small patch Of both but this
fall intend to seed some eight or ten
acres. The oats are very good to feed on
the straw as substitute for hay, and !
horses are very fond of it. The rye can
be thrashed and mixed with oats and
corn to feed horses. For feeding hogs
it should be ground,i it is also very good
feed for poultry, the straw should be
used for bedding the stock and making
manure. All our groves should be
planted in corn and at the last working
plant COW peas between the rows of corn
which will keep the land in fertile
condition and give a splendid crop of
seed peas. All these crops can be grown
in the groves while they are again COM
ng into bearing.
There are so many Industries in Flor
1Od 1OI GuC OIduSe grower W GuFu Ills dG-
ention to while his grove is again COM
ing into bearing condition. And some
are profitable and of such nature that
were they once prof1tably introduced
and the grower interested and ac-
qualnted with them, doubt very much
if they would give up their new enter
prises for the risky business the orange
has proven to be. But we have all prof
tied more or less by the cold or freeze of
December and February last, and one of
the most important buttons for our new
coat is not to waste lifetime at growing
Seeding trees. But on the other hand
bud very near the ground or if possible
root graft and protect the trunks of these
trees by banking dirt around them, or
wrap them with grass or straw, Gndeed
the rye straw before mentioned would
be an excellent thing for this purpoSe)
so that should we have another freeze,
and our trees killed to the trunk, we
would have good\ brdded trunks left
that would in FROM two to three years
bear nice crop ofSruit. There is so
much to learn at orange growing yet
that we can hardly say that we have
good start. HAN FRANKLIN.
