A MorHER-oF-PEARL HOUSE
Built by a Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.


Built by a Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.
Old habitations are to be found all
over California, says the San Francisco
Call. Sometimes there is good reason
for them being odd, but often it is the
result of some crank idea. On the
beach near Cypress Point, in Monterey
county, there is one that cannot come
under the first head and hardly under
the last. The residence belongs to 3
Chinese fisherman and is part natural
and part the work of his own hands.
The natural portion of the house is a
small cave in one Of the many rocks
that stick up all over the beach. The
other part is a sort of wooden shed
which has been built in front Of this
opening. The lumber used is of the
toughest kind but the esthetic China.
man overcame this objection by cover
ing the whole outside with abalone
shells, the hollow side being turned
out. The Chinaman evidently did that
many years ago, when the shells were
plentiful and had scarcely any market
velue. Every shell used has been de-
stroyed as one or more nails have been
driven through them according to their
size. Some Of the shells are magnifi-
cent in color and enormous in size.
There is one at least fifteen inches
in diameter, and a duplicate in
good condition could not be bought in
San Francisco for any price. Most Of
the larger shells, If they were not
punctured with nailholes, would read
lily sell for from SO to S. apiece. But
that size cannot be had in the market
now, and would be difficult to find on
the rocks Of any part of the coast. The
general effect Of the house, when the
sun strikes it at the proper angle, is
dazzling. The polished, pearly sur
faces sparkle with astounding brill
liancy and fash with all the colors of
the rainbow. It is pleasing and sur
prising sight and the only pity is that
so many beautiful shells were de-
stroyed to produce 1t.

Sheep.

The history of SHEEP husbandry dates
back to almost as remote a period as
that of man, and from that time to the
present, has justly occupied promi-
nent position in the commerce OF all
civilized nations of the world, being a
source of luxury, ornament and profit,
and when John Randolph of Roanoke
publicly proclaimed that he would at
any time go a mile out Of his way to
kick a sheep, he virtually asserted that
1t would be luxury to abuse his best
friend. l do not propose in this brief
essay to give the origin or history Of
the various families or kinds Of sheep,
but will view the subject as it exists in
our country at the present time, as a
branch of mixed husbandry. That a
flock of sheep is a necessity on the
farm l unhesitatingly assert. AS la
borers in the field they are Industrious
and thorough, feeding upon briars and

UNCLE DANIEL.

Uncle Daniel was one of the char

always bubbling over with droll
speeches, says the Youths Companion.
At one time he adopted a city-bred
boy who gave him great annoyance

asked.

Then it was remembered that he die

DehornIng Calves.

Cattle ought not to have horns. We
all believe that today. 1t is best to
breed them off. There are as good
animals Of the beef breeds that are
polled as that have horns. 1t is time
that horns were bred of the milk
breeds. Next best is to prevent the
horn starting on the calf. 1t is not
FIVE minutes time, nor one cents ex-
pense, to do it. 1 have dehorned
many and never failed or made a sore
head. After using patented fluids and
caustlc potash, now use common con-
centrated I've, such as the women use
for breaking water and making soap.
When the calf is less than ten days
old is the right time. Simply wet the
bump where you expect the horn and
rub on as much powdered I've as will
equal three grains Of corn. Do not
wet elsewhere. Let the calf alone
thereafter. The scabs will come of
and the hair will grow out as nicely
as on a natural poll. do not see that
the fighting or butting habit is devel-
oped in these dehorned calves. A
Jersey bull four years old would have
killed my brother had he had horns.
He got him down in the pasture and
no one was near to help. A shepherd
DOG came to the rescue. ask DR.,

.IudlOIous Feeding of Cattle.


In an address, 3. P. Lee said: If
we would be successful breeders OF cat
tie, we should give to our COWS an
abundant supply Of healthful FOOD,
proper shelter and exercise; then select
the best bull we can afford to purchase
for crossing with them; and when TINS
is accomplished, we have employed
more or less imperfectly all the pro-
cesses under which the domestic AMI
mails of the same species develop into
breeds. Good food, or the lack OF IT,
exercise in moderation or excess, smell
ter or exposure, and selection or care
lessness in crossing, these make up the
sum total of the influences which modl-
fly constantly, for better or for worse
our horses and cattle, hogs and sheep.
The form, constitution, and temper Oh
every domestic animal is, aside from
the characteristics of the species, the
effect of the interplay Of these causes
Judicious feeding, careful treatment In
shelter and exercise, and skilful selec-
ton for coupling, are the key notes to
the breeders's art. If one Of these be
lacking, breeding is nearly failure.
If all are defective, the animals that
result are we'll night worthless. We
must be careful in regard to mating,
The breeder should notice the defects
of the female he wishes to breed, and
couple her with a male as nearly per-
feet as possible; and especially strong
in the point where she is weak, and by
so doing for few generations, we shall
have arrived at nearly perfection.

Feeding vstch Hay.

AS q preliminary report for the pur-
pose of answering some questions 're-
garding the feeding of vetch hay, I
present brief summary of results Of
our experience in feeding this mate
rial. We have fed the yetch hay to
fattening steers. and to cows giving
milk, and in both cases the results
have been very satisfactory. 1t was
compared with clover hay in both in
stances. The steers made good gains
when receiving vetch hay as the only
dry food, except the grain. Two steers
were fed AZ days on the vetch hay,
and gained 3.O7 pounds and 2.O7
pounds respectively, per day. Those
fed on clover hay gained ZIG pounds
and 2.56 pounds respectively.
The vetch when properly cured is
rellshed by all kinds Of stock. 1t must

Silos.-Prof. Georgeson at the Kan
sas Dairy association convention said:
81 would like to indorse the question
of silos. We have had ffty-six head of
cattle, which we wintered last year,
and they were wintered for six months
on the corn that was raised on twenty
acres or a little less; all put in the silo.
They were fed an average of forty
pounds of ensilage per day. We began
feeding it the latter part of October
and it lasted until the middle of May.
They got nothing else except little
corn stalks fed in the daytime. 1t
kept them in good condition. The
Shorthorns and those cows which we
did not care to feed for milk did not
get a grain of anything else."

not stand until too ripe before cutting.
When fed to mich COWS the flow OF
milk and per cent of butter fat was
maintained throughout the test, which
extended over period Of As days. AS
a cheap substitute for clover hay the
vetch seems to answer the demand very
satisfactorily. It is an annual, conse-
quently must be sown every year. In
this respect it can not be compared
with clover. AS a fertilizing crop, 1t
is not as good as clover for 1t does
not root as deeply, nor loosen the soil
as completely as clover.-H. T. French

Egg Eating Hens.

have had some hens eat their eggs
where laid, but find that it almost al
WAYS occurs in midwinter or early
spring when the birds are short OF
grit. It generally commences by lay
ing soft shelled eggs or laying on the
roosts at night, when they have an OPP
portunity to roll the eggs around and
peck at them. When the spring Is
fairly on and the laying season in full
swing, have never been bothered ex-
cent by an occasional case, and If /
can detect that hen off goes her head.
MY sitting hens never bother me by
eating the eggs set under them, unless
1 happen to put in an egg that has a
very soft shell and 1t gets broken In
the nest, or in some case where the
nest is made in such a manner that
the hen has to drop into it from too
great height, and thus accidentally
break an egg. But those accidents l
usually guard against after one expert
ence. AS to treatment, If 1t is an iso-
lated case Of egg eating and l can find
the hen chop her head off. But II in
early spring or in the winter mania
seems to seize them for egg eating l
scatter china nest eggs on the floor
and in the nests, and keep all eggs
picked up as fast as they are laid for
a few days and find no difficulty In
stopping the habit in this way.

Medium Hogs for Market.--Drovers'
Journal. Big corn means big hogs.
Big hogs means lots of lard, big hams
and big pork, which is now, and is
liable to remain heavy drug on the
market. The January furry in the
prices of hogs and provisions made ev-
erybody feel bullish, and the conse-
uuence was farmers and feeders held
their hogs long after they ought to
have been shipped. While cellars and
storehouses have been crowded with
heavy, fat stuff that nobody seemed to
want, packers say they cannot possibly
supply the demand for bacon and cuts
of pork made from light hogs at prices
considerably above board Of trade quo
tations. There is nothing like supply
ing the demand with what it wants,
and holding already heavy hogs to
simply store more cheap corn into
them is folly. Better sell the hogs
when they are at the most desirable
weights and save the corn, which will
come in handy.
