FARr1ERS' INSTITUTES
Under the Auspices of the University
of California.

Within the past ten years Farmers
Institutes have become one of the prip-
ciples means of disseminating among
the farming community the information
upon agricultural topics which the Uni
versities and Agricultural Experiment
Stations have gathered at great cost, at
the expense of the public, for the benefit
Of the farmers.
In nearly all the Eastern States and
in Canada, these institutes are held
every year in great numbers and with
very large attendance. In Ontario,
Canada, last year, the average attend
ance at BOB Institutes was 234
1t is a fact that in no State of the
Union containing population of equal
numbers and intelligence are the far
mers SO backward In availing them
selves Of the information so freely of
fered by the University for whose sup
port they contribute, as In California
1t is also fact that there is no State in
the Union in which 1t is so vitally i'm
portant that no labor expended upon
agricultural production should be
wasted. Owing to our great distance
from the markets Of the world our pro-
ducts must be produced by the most
economical methods, or we can never
hope to compete with producers more
favorably situated commercially. BY
as much as transportation costs us
more than others, by so much must we
save in cost of production.
Without raising the question of whe-
ther science can take the place Of prac-
tical training, it is certain that scien-
tific methods disclose much informa-
tion of great value which generations of
practical farmers have failed to dis
cover. The farmer who hopes to sue
ceed under the conditions of modern
competition must avail himself, not only
of the experience which he and his an
cestors have gathered in their practi-
cal dealings with the soil and its pro-
ducts, but also of the results which can
be obtained only by trained men, de-
voting themselves to the special study
of such experience and of the problems
it suggests. with the aid Of instruments
and appliances which farmers do not
possess. and If they did would not know
how to employ.

Aluminium for Army Utensils.

After an exhaustive series of tests,
the Minister Of War in France has de-
cided that aluminium is the best mate
rial for army utensils. All the camp
equipments in the French army will be
replaced by those made of aluminium
The cost will be enormous, and the
change would use up all the aluminium
in sight If it were made at once. For
this reason the new material will be
used in the equipments Of only two
army corps at first. Gradually one corps
after another will be supplied until the
whole army shall be equipped. ALUMNI
mum equipments were used in the Mad
agascar campaign and stood the test
splendidly. Besides being very light,
they showed no signs Of wear, and are
easily cleaned

Loss by Leaking Faucets.

Interesting results are arrived at if it
is figured out how much water is lost
by the leaking Of a faucet from which
water escapes In drops If the washer is
not tight A chemist, who measured
exactly the amount of waste, found that
about fifty drops fell every minute;
within ninety minutes there would be
1890 drops of water, which is equiva-
lent to quart, so that there would be
loss of four gallons Of water every
twenty-four hours. In a year almost
1.5OO gallons Of water will have been
wasted uselessly from such a faucet 1t
is considered that leaking faucets are
quite frequent, and the immense waste
of water becomes more apparent

Heating the Vatican.

The recurring indisposition of the
Fope has again raised the question of
heating the Vatican, q problem which,
so far, has never yet been satisfactorily
solved. There are no fewer than II, 900
rooms In the Papal palace, and many
OF them never receive a ray of sun
light. Professor Laponi, the physician
o. his holiness, has tried by all the
means in his power to maintain a nor
NAL temperature in the private apart
ments, but without effect, and they re-
main much too cold for the daily dimin-
ishing vitality Of the Pope. An archi-
tect recently submitted plan for dis
tributing hot air all through the Vat

came interested. They were we'll known
crooks, and as he was standing jammed
against them, he easily overheard
enough of their talk to convince him
that they had a job on hand on the
Yolo side Of the river
Balsz was much exercised over the
matter after the news Of the attempted
robbery was reported, and felt certain
that the three men whom he had heard
talking were the ones wanted. He
anxiously awaited the arrival Of the

see if his suspicious were correct, and
stated that if such was the case he not
only knew the other men concerned,
but knew where to lay his hands on
them.
LATER-THE BODY HERE.
A little after o'clock this morning
the dead robbers body was brought in
and taken to the police station, but no.
body there could identify him.
He was large man, about five feet
ten inches, or six feet, in hight, was well
dressed, and wore brown curly hair and
light, brown mustache.

this tax, the rate of which was 50. with
an additional 81 for delinquencies. The
amount Of money collected less the
commission for collection was S3,-
076 90
The names of the persons subject to
the tax are obtained by the Assessor at
the time of collection of State, poll and
personal property tax. They are hand
ed in to the Auditor, who arranges
them alphabetically, and the road poll
tax is then collected from them.
Now I go into other counties having
a much larger population than that Of
Riverside and find far less amount of
money collected from this source Evi-
IDENTIFY some one must escape taxation,
the reason for which is evident when I
ask how many persons in the county
are subject to this tax, and they reply
we do not know; we simply collect it
from every one we cam
"a practical way of looking at the
matter is this: A certain county that
should collect road taxes from 1000 per-
sons is now collecting it from less than
1000. In other words, 5000 persons
escape the payment of this tax. The
amount that would be collected from
them after the commissions for collec-
ton were deducted therefrom would
amount to, approximately, $4,000. The
population of the county referred to is
not so great at the present time as it
was some years since. Therefore, I am
safe in saying that this amount of
money has been annually lost for a pc
riod of ten years amounting to $780,
GOO, or sufficient money to have built
at least fifty miles of good modern road.
.'The point wish to make is, that this
tax should be more justly and evenly
collected. Either all who are subject to

More Pearl Bryan Nastiness.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 19.-An in
vestigation in this city into the
life Of May Smith, who is connected
with Jackson and Walling in the
Pearl Bryan affair, developes the
fact that she came early in Janu-
airy, being employed by Bryon
Lister and wife in the dress cut
ting business. She came from
Mrs. Fusons' school in Cincinnati
to teach for Mr.. and Mrs. Lister.
She remained there until Saturday
night week ago, when her
brother, from Covington, KY,
called and took her home. Mr..
Lister said this morning that on
reading the first account Of the
affair the girl appeared Mortified,
as she had been in correspondence
with both Jackson and Walling,
and had told Mrs. Lister she was
engaged to Walling. Mrs. Lister
had seen letters to both men.
When the account appeared in the
newspapers that May Smith had
also been operated on by Mailing
and jackson, the girl stoutly
denied it. Mr.. Lister said how,
ever, that about a week before
Christmas, while in the employ
ment of Mrs. Fuson, the girl was
absent from the office a whole
week.

WARNING TO FAT WOMEN.
Their Great Danger When the Flat
Takes Fire.

Takes Fire.
Large, lumpy ladies who dwell next
to the roof in five-story buildings are
beset with dangers of which the mar
row-guage female knows nothing. One
of these perils is fire and the other is
policemen. On a recent stormy mid
night an officer patrolling his beat saw
smoke curling over the shingles of a
tall house. Knowing that large lady
lived on the fifth floor he FASTENED to
notify her without stopping to turn in
an alarm. At the fourth landing the
brave man discovered that further
progress was barred by burning stair
way, but he managed to reach the bou-
doir of the large lady by means of the
fire escape.
She weighed 24O pounds dressed, but
they did not wait for that ceremony.
Time was too precious. Selling the
lady, who was rendered helpless from
fear, the gallant officer showed her
through the window and out upon the
little front platform. Then occurred
thrilling aerial act without the aid
of net or calcium light effects.
1t was the fault of no one that the
lady happened to be larger than the
openings in the fire escape platforms.
To pass her dead weight over the edge
and lower it to the next landing was
feat beyond the power of one man.
Even policeman, clothed in full au-
thority, baked in the face of this prop
osition.
There was only one thing to be done,
and the officer did it. First he pushed
what he could of the lady through the
hole, like a man stuffing a bed quilt
into a hand valise, after which he
swung himself below and pulled the
rest of her through. 1t was hercu-
lean job, but the red flames roaring
above gave the rescuer renewed
strength.
Down the perpendicular ladder he
backed, with the limp form resting
on his head and shoulders. The thin
iron rungs cut into his hands and the
smoke almost stiffied him, but the
noble man struggled on. At the next
landing the large lady was again
squeezed through the hole by the he
roic policeman, and so on until the
ground was reached.
Meanwhile an alarm had been
sounded and the usual helping throng
was on hand. Some Good Samaritan
gave the exhausted large lady drink
of brandy to brace her up,while the no
BILE policeman went on about his bust
ness. There are others, however, who
bear the shield and helmet. One of them
happened along and heard about the
drink of brandy and saw the efforts OF
the unfortunate woman to save some
of her property. Not to be outdone in
gallantry by any policeman living, the
second officer dragged the hapless
creature off to Jail and charged her
with being drunk.
This pathetic incident should warn
large ladies to either live on the ground
floor or stick to the policeman who
saves themefrom the lurid flames.-7N.

On a Third avenue car the other day

was going over to Brooklyn, and right
opposite him sat short, fat man, chew
ing gum and reading a paper. 1t was
quite few minutes before the tall, thin
man caught sight of the other, butwhen
he did leaned forward and inquired:
"Hain't you the Teller met in Albany
last fall-feller who got mad because
/ stepped on his toes and said he could
lick me in two minutes?"
81 never saw you before, sir" replied
the other, with a good deal of dignity.
Then you hain't the feller"'
mo, sir"
"Mebbe I'm mistaken, but 1 can't
hardly believe it. He was short and
fat, same as you are-had a bald head
and was bow-legged-and he chewed
gum all the time he was sassin' me-"
"Are you talking to me, sir?" shouted
the fat man, as he sprang up with
clinched fists.
"Yes, sir, / am. If you hain't the
Teller then it's all right, but if you
are"
Didn't 1 say 1 never saw you be-
fore?" shouted the fat man.
"Yes, you did, but you look jes' like
the Teller who said he. could lick me
with one hand tied to his leg. If you
| hain't the feller-"
"Of course I'm not the man! Do you
mean to insult me?"
mo, 1 never insult nobody. Ar you
chawin' gum or slippery elmP'
''None of your business, sir! II you
insult me further I'll knock the head
off your shoulders"
Nobody intends to insult you. Isay
you look like the Teller"
"And 1 say you are a liar!"
The guard drove him off, but fol
lowed and sat down beside him anc
asked:
eff he is the man what do you wan
to say or do to him?"
"If he's the man who said he coulC
lick me in two minutes?"
{ Eyes"
"Wall, l jest wanted to say that h
was mistaken. I've had some differen
fights and been licked every time, bu
it allus took from four to seven min
utes to do it, and it would take hin
plump ten, or I'll never eat any NOR
