FAST FLYING PIGEONS
Southern California Record Broken in
the Eoming Races Yesterday

One of the most successful and inter-
esting homing pigeon races that ever
took place in this part of the state was
flown yesterday from Mentone to this
city. There had been an entrance of
fourteen lofts, and ten of these conf
peted. The birds were sent to Mentone
the day before to P. McPhee, who had
agreed to act as liberator. His instruc-
tions were to release all the birds
promptly at 7 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and he did So A telegram from
him to the members of the Los Angeles
Flying club, under whose auspices the
race took place. stated that after be-
ing released the pigeons circled about
for seventeen minutes before starting
for home.
The telegram had hardly been received
and the members assigned to the various
lofts to check the arrival of the birds
than o. S. Miller's Black Cloud (reg.
z 241) arrived and Immediately entered
the loft. This was exactly $50 o'clock
Mr.. O'Neil checked this loft, and his
report of the arrival of the bird men
toned secured for Mr.. Miller the first
diploma. The speed of the bird was
record breaking for this part of the
state. The distance is Ga miles, and it
was covered in hour and 80 minutes,
an average of 1262.4S yards per minute.
This is the fastest average time ever
made in Southern California for a dis
| tance greater than so miles.
| The second bird to enter it's loft be-
| longed to ]. D. O'Neil, the time being
l hour and SO minutes. This won for
Mr.. O'Neil the first cash prize, Mr.. Mil
Ter having declined to compete for it,
Geo. Young's bird arrived at $3.50 and
| o. F. Zahn's at 6:32, but they failed to
enter their respective lofts for several
minutes later, and the time Of trapping,
was what counted in the match.
Had the winning birds started at the
time they were released, instead of wait
ing seventeen minutes, and then upon
arrival had they Immediately entered
the traps, all records for the distance
would have been broken, as the average
would have been 1856 yards per minute
| Several other races are contemplated
by the Los Angeles Flying club. Ar
rangements are to be made for much

No Chance for an Argument

'I have story on Abraham Lincoln

United States Judge c. G. Foster. I'm
the winter of 1S59-60 Lincoln visited
Kansas, making speeches at Troy and
Atchison. At Atchison he put up at the
old Massasoit house, which every old
time politician will remember. General
Stringfellow, John a. Martin, Tom Muir
ply and l called upon Mr.. Lincoln at the
hotel. In the course of the conversation
Lincoln turned to Stringfellow, who was
a pro-slavery advocate, and said:
General Stringfellow, you pro-
slavery fellows gave as one reason why
slavery should not be prohibited in Kan
sas that only the negro could break up
the tough prairie sod. Now, I've broken
hundreds of acres of prairie sod in my
time, and the only question which re-
mains to be decided is whether 1 am a
white man or a nigger.'
General Stringfellow admitted the
force of the argument and congratulated
Mr. Lincoln upon his pointed, logical
way of putting things.

Notes

There was never 80 much fumigation
done in Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties as is being done this season.
This shows that the institutes, clubs
etc. are doing excellent work. 1t also
bespeaks better fruit and better prices.
while in Redlands the other day we
saw many orchards with thrifty growths
of peas already started. This method
of green manuring is surely cheap and
excellent way to fertilize an orchard.
While in Redlands last Monday we
heard an orchardist refuse $3.50 per box
for his oranges that could be shipped
before the holiday season. because, as he
said he had better offer. He estimated
that one-half his crop would be ready
for the holiday trade.
A two-days' farmers institute will be
held at Whittier on Friday and Satur-
day next, Nov. 26th and 9th. An ex-
cellent program has been provided.
There will be four sessions. commence
ing Friday afternoon and closing satur-
day afternoon.

pasteurization

The following from Mr.. De Wolf In the
Produce Review will interest all con-
sumers as we'll as producers Of butter:
Opinions are divided in England about
pasteurization. Some think 1t an improve-
ment because thereby the harmful bacte-
ria and the fungi In the milk have been
destroyed. thus making the butter purer
and increasing its keeping properties. 9th
ers again think that the flavor Of the butt
ter is partly lost by the process, and. there-
fore. prefer butter made from milk or
cream that was not pasteurized. As far
as we can learn, opinions are pretty evenly
divided on the subject.
We do not wish to say, however. that
lpasteurizing will not pay. as our experi-
ence with butter-making by this process
has been too limited: but we feel sure 1t
will require strong efforts on the part OF
the sellers to educate the consumers to
taking pasteurized butter at premium
over other goods. Unless there is some in-
ducement to pasteurize their cream, we
can't consistently ask them to do 1t.
The shipments we have made consisted
of pasteurized cream butter from the AL
bert Lea, Mimi, creamery and butter made
from unpasteurized cream from Iowa.
The proportion of the former to the latter
in the lot was about one-sixth, and as we
are advised, the entire lots were disposed
of to one buyer at one price. The actual
worth OF the pasteurixed butter was per-
hans not revealed. It is. therefore. diff
fcult for US to say whether or not thee
price was Influenced by pasteurixed cream
butter, We are. however. advised that the
consuming public on the other side OF the
Atlantic do not ask for pasteurized cream
butter nor are they willing to pay prem-
inn for the goods. As pasteurized butter
is not new to them. 1t Is fair to assume
that at the present time 1t hardly pays to
