Welcoming a River.

In the long coastal desert Of Peru,
which Is some 1000 miles in length, but
only 40 miles broad at its widest part,
the rivers, Major A. f. Sears says, dis
appear in the dry season and begin to
flow again in February or March when
iain falls In the Cordilleras. One Of
the most important of these rivers is
the Piura, the return Of whose waters
Is welcomed with great rejoicings by
the Inhabitants Of its banks. About
the time when 1.-The coming Of the
liver" Is expected. eager inquiries as to
the progress Of the water are put to all
rersons who chance to come from the
head Of the valley. and when the water
approaches the town Of Piura process
sions 60 out to meet 1t, and escort it's
first trlckling stream down the dry
river bed with music and fireworks. At
the outskirts of the city thousands Of
people greet Its arrival. The valley Of
the Piura is said by Major Sears to pro-
duce excellent cotton, although its pos
sibilities in this respect are not well de-
veloped for lack Of systematic iri iga-
ton. Once in a period Of from five to
seven years rain falls upon the coastal
plain, whereupon, with magic quick
ness, grass and flowers cover 1t, and
cattle browse In it's pastures, but in a
few weeks everything withers. and des-

Clothing for Mich Cows,

A few days ago the residents of the
Iouthern portion OF the county had
their attention directed to a herd Of
thirty -dve cows which were being driv.
en- out Mission road to San Mateo Coun-
ty. On Zach of the animals was a GOV.
ering consisting of four ordinary bar
ley sacks sewed together. The blanket
was fastened by cords to the legs Of
the cows and tied about the neck. The
cows belonged to kOOstri Brothers Of
the Holstein dairy, near the Five-Mils
house. They were being driven to a
ranch In San Mateo County. about five
miles south OF Colma, near the ocean
shore. George Koostri. one of the own
ers of the cows, said the idea was COM
mon In the cold countries Of Northern
Europe. THE ranch we own in San
Mateo County" he said, lis situated
very close TO the ocean. The climate Is
cold. The breeZes which blow from
the sea are very penetrating. Our cows
would be chilled and we would be un-
able to allow them to pasture IL we did
not provide them with some covering
to resist the cold. In some OF the Eu-
rOpean countries the cows are blanket
ed In the winter months and kept in q
large inclOsure. They are not allowed
out. but ar. fed In stable. This lasts
In some places from Nov. to May l..
We have thirty-five cows out on the
ranch. Every one wears n blanket.
which will not be removed until they
return to the city, about three months
from now. The climate here is much
warmer in comparison to what It is
along the seashOre in San MateO. The
people who watched us driving the
herd to the ranch thought that the cows
were sick. They were very healthy, l
can assure you."-San Francisco EX
