NOTE AND COMMENT.

An Eastern man went to Oroville to in nvest
several thousand dollars in lands, if he found
what he wanted. He did find land to his de-
sire, and arranged for the purchase. The next
morning at the meeting held to consummate
the sale the stranger withdrew from his bid.
Being pressed for a reason, he replied that the
land was just what he wanted the climate
was desirable, the physical conditions all
satisfied him, but the evening before he had
been beset by q lot of sIlurians who had
talked down his selection, the climate, busi-
ness and all else. 81 was not dissuaded by
their chatter said he; my own reason con-
vinced me OF the desirability of the purchase.
But am buying to improve for sale to new
corners, and l do not propose to take the
chances in q community where the barroom
silurians sit around and run down the place.
They might influence the people l wanted to
bring here to settle will go where the COM
munity does not keep on hand lot of growl-
ers to discourage investors" There is a great
sermon in the comment. 1t needs no elabora-
ton. It constitutes its own moral. 1t reminds
us of the way Southern California man put
the situation a few years ago. when address
ing Northern California group not a thou
sand miles from this city. said he: at seems
to me this way. Down south, when a fellow
saws have good thing for the community,
all the other fellows crowd around him and
shout Let US in Or, or when some citizen
does something for the community that is
good, or suggests new idea that will better
things all around, we all cry out, Good boy.
we are with YOU Or if one fellow makes q
sale of land to stranger, all the fellows who
got left in the competition get in and con-
gratulate him and stand by the SALE
Well, up here it seems to me if fel-
low suggests new thing to help on
all the rest pull off and whisper,
Whats he got in it? What's he going
to make out OF it, Or He just wants TO ad-
vertise himself So he gets little help or SYM
pathy because of so much jealousy. Then
one of your men gets a stranger to locate and
invest. some of the others get after him and
run down the others offer, and do their best
to break UP the transaction, so as to get in
their own work. Well, that sort o. business
don't pay, gentlemen. It will not wash"
This is exaggeration. Things are nowhere SO
bad as that; but it must be confessed that
more manifestation of q sense of mutual1ty of
interest more local cooperation, broader and
more generous public spirit, and less OF jeal-
ousy and impugning of motives, would tend
greatly more to the advancement of Northern
California interests.

dies. dangerous In themselves and productive

counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

EMBARRASSMENT Ambiguous.

''There was quite a fight in front Of
the store to-day" said a Rockland
man at the supper table. 1.-TWO men
got into a row, one struck the other,
and then the crowd gathered. The man
who was struck ran and grabbed q
cart-stake and rushed back, his eyes
blazing. 1 thought sure he'd knock
the other mans brains out, and l
stepped right in between them" The
young heir had given over eating his
tart as the narrative proceeded, and
his eyes leaned right out of his head.
He was proud of his fathers valor,
and he cried: 'He couldn't knock any
brains out of you, could he, father"
The old man looked long and curiously
at the heir, but the lads countenance
was frank and innocent and open.
When it closed with the tart on the
inside the father gasped slightly and
resumed his supper.-Rockland Trib-

swells of Ancient Egypt.

From what has come down to us,
written, painted, or chiseled, the Egyp-
tan lord must have been a great swell.
The details of the twelfth dynasty
show Egyptian elegance at its best.
The lord has male housekeeper, his
maitre d'hote, called superintendent
Of the provision house." There was q
superintendent Of the baking house,"
and the mixer of drinks had the title
Of scribe Of the sideboard." Perhaps
he was butler, and regulated the sup
ply Of wines from the cellar. There
were gardeners, porters, and handi-
craft men, all busy in attending to the
master. "A preparer of sweets must
have been a confectioner. The Egyp-
tian, when he was no longer mortal,
had hopes of being well fed in the here
after, as he believed he would be nour-
ished In his particular heaven with
abundant goose and beef. Offerings to
the gods show the variety of the Egyp-
tan menu, and In one are included ten
kinds Of cooked meat, five kinds of
birds, sixteen varieties of bread and
cake, six assorted wines, four brews of
beers, eleven sorts Of fruits and an end
less number of sweet things.-New

Thoroughbred Poultry.

Better advice cannot be given to any
farmer going in for poultry than to
select pure breed and stick to it so
long as 1t meets the demand of his
trade. What this choice shall be must
be determined by the place and market
requirements. In this country the adj
vice that Plymouths Rocks are the best
fowls for farmers would not apply IL
first-class table poultry were desired.
Valuable though this variety is, its yell
low flesh would be fatal barrier to
the realization Of top prices, for we
must have white-feshed birds, as they
are regarded as the finest in flavor as
well as preferable in appearance. In
such places, however, where large birds
IRE demanded, and the color of the
flesh is not regarded as of chief mo-
ment, this breed is excellent, and they
have a most valuable quality, in that
they mature quickly, and also are ex-
cellent winter layers. 1t only needs
that the poultry breeder shall study his
conditions and market, discover what
breed will fit them best and then run
on these lines, avoid the chopping and
changing which is so fatal to success
in any industry. Again, would say,
select pure breed and stick to it.

Farm Notes.

Green peas may be planted just as
soon as the ground permits. They are
hardy and thrive best when planted
early In the season.
Glover rootlets will penetrate and
loosen the subsoil, while they are fur
nishing large quantity of valuable
material for forage and for fertilizer.
If it is desired to subsoil field at the
least possible expense, get it to pro-
ducing good crop of clover.
Prof. Bailey, of Cornell experiment
station, recommends from 500 to 700
pounds Of muriate of potash and 300
to 500 pounds of plain superphosphates
per acre as annual top dressing for
manure orchards. Nitrogen is seldom
needed, he says, and is to apt to force
q growth Of too much wood.
What to do with the bones from
fresh meat is problem to those who
have no mode Of reducing them to a
fine condition for the land. II the bones
are placed In the stove and heated, SO
as to become brittle, they can be easily
pounded, which converts them into ex-
cellent food for all kinds Of poultry.

Demand for Heavy Draft Horses.

Demand for Heavy Draft Horses.
Too often the farmer breeds for his
own use, but expects to sell the gel
dings, and the class Of light grades
that suit the fancy Of some farmers
do not suit the horse buyers; thus it Is
we have bred millions of small to
medium horses for our own use, but
we still want to sell them all the same.
The buyers can not use them, and there
is veritable scarcity of big heavy
draft horses or large stylish coachers,
yet many wonder why horses are so
cheap. They refuse to breed what the
market wants, and the market refuses
to pay decent price for the common
horses that are presented for sale. The
whole world wants the big, heavy draft
horses. American farmers can raise
them, and they will raise them Of the
right kind when they come to under
stand the market requirements.-Live

Management with Weeds.

One cause of weeds flourishing on
some soils is that they thrive on plant
foods left over by the grain crop, a
condition which renders the soil i'm
poverished for other grain crops, yet
very fertile for weeds because the
weeds are able to get good start,
make rapid growth, secure abundant
moisture below the surface, and de-
prive the land Of that which was not
utilized by the crops, the result being
that the soil is still further impover-
ished. This may be prevented by
growing root crops after corn, to be
followed by clover or some grass crop.

straightening CROOKED streams.


All natural streams over land are
more or less crooked, as they bend first
one way then another to avoid obstruc-
tons. In making artificial open bitches
there is at first an almost irresistible
tendency to follow the natural course
and simply deepen it. But after the
ditch is cut, If 1t is a cultivated field
the crooked places in it make serious
difficulties for the plow, the harrow,
cultivator and the moving machine.
Only for a pasture lot is the winding
rivulet running through field allowa-
BILE, provided it can easily be remedied.
BY strengthening an open drain and
putting sewer pipe in it the ditch may
be filed and plowed over, making a
rich, cultivable field of what was orig
inally only fit for growing coarse and
inferior grasses.-Ex.
