was no song of birds, but clearly there
was on the baimy air the smell Of aromatic
herbs-possibiy mint. Possibly the
lamb that bleated loudest was browsing
upon mint, in pastoral innocence, not
knowing that it had a julep attachment.
Jim Dockery came down the furrow
a-picking his teeth, and l had, of course, a
dim sort of realization, in common with
the rest OF the town, that he has a knowl-
edge OF California cows, their ways and
habits that is well-nigh ncyclopediac; but
he looked so much more like field
marshal with all his finery on that l
could not imagine him "shooing" cow

had to smile approval at this phrase
of Dockery' y's-for it showed me that he
had studied the habits of lam bs and knew
that they really do shake their tails.
But tell me- I pleaded, ''did / not
hear lamb bleatlns near here a little
while ago?'
oh, he admitted, "that might be the
grain broker in the Produce Exchange !;
but they really don't know peas from
beans, nor wheat from barley, not when
they sse it growing. But Herzer-there
is q real enthusiast. He has ruta baga

Now, I don't pretend to know much
about farming, but l knew that Dockery
was joshing me. So l left him on a
corner chewing a straw and went out to
the Hall to look up Herzer. He really
looked to me like a typical farmer when
l made my business known-so much SO
that for minute l was tempted to see if
could unload a goldbrick on him; but
something in his weather eye told me to
drive my steers little slow when pIow-
ing over his mental field. He gave me a
map of the City and told me that all
property set down as "other than town
and city lots' was really agricultural
land. 1 believed him then, and now,
after l have made the rounds, believe
him still.
What Herzer told me that started lively
thinking was that the ranches of the City
were assessed at the handsome round
figure OF So 1S9, 240. and the improvem en- Is

taxation at the very respectable sum OF

Along the Mission road came in farm
wagons, and perfect procession of dairy
carts was under way, going in or going
out. Before the San Mateo line was
reached there loomed up the large
orchard of MIR. Meussdorffer of many
acres, orchards and gardens with fine
fruit trees.
Near by was the home of Deputy AS
SCISSOR Herzer. Mr.. Herzer was not at

still in the limits of San Francisco, the
farms at a glance seem almost as near
endless and boundless as they do in the
agricultural sections in the interior. Peo-

Next I went out into Bay View.
.'Oof, oof."
A spotted SOW with a litter of pigs dis
puted the way with me as l walked along
a street (?). All around were large areas
coumon lands they seemed llke-wlth
houses set down here and there, seemingly
in accordance with the caprice OF the
householders. On these areas broWsed
COWS, calves, horses, goats-really quite
rustic and farmlike it all was.
There were acres upon acres OF land
over which cattle were staked out. Hay
barns, stacks of milkcans, these and other
signs betokened milk ranches near.
Enough whirling windmllls were spinning
dizzly in the air to pump the water out
of one OF Hollands dykes. Where the
streets were and which were building lots
at Bav View could not wholly be made
out. Frowning hills toward the west
loomed up. These were haunted by cattle.
They were farm lands-by the league as
they looked.
Then, just to give pastoral tinge to the
coloring of travelled and well-defined
street, there came trampins, lowing, per-

in the other direction toward the slaugh-

never, until the cows come home, as Her
zer might say, will any one be able to find
one of them.
There lies midway between Butcher
town and the real extremity Of the
point a semi-am phibious region where
people seem to be cultvating clam
beds with a hoe, thereby raising anew the
tlme-honored question, whether digging
clans is really agriculture or fishing? But

On going up fight of narrow creaking

He was a picturesque figure In his
Syrian robe OF striped purple and white
confined at the waist by rope-Iike cord.
His long black hair curled up from his
loose colIarin quite the artistic way, and
his keen bright eyes looked kindly at US
from beneath shaggy, projecting oTows as,
in spite of the eviGence that he was ex-

not disturb him in the least.

tanned charming litter of mosaic bits,
handsome carvings, Oriental inlaid tables
and musical instruments in various stages
of construction.
We were inclined to believe that the
business OF costumer was added to that of
wood-carYing, as a long row OF various
national costumes depended from the
wall of an inner room. Among them we
were shown the long, pointed-sleeved
linen robe and shawl headdress of the
Arabian woman, Turk sh lady's dress
aud the complete costume of Greek sold

and Logging, with the full skirt worn
which is composed of tiny pointed cores.
