PROGRESSIVE
FARMING.
MODERN FARM METHODS.
The Old-Fashioned Farmer Cannot
Compete.

rhe Old-Fashioned Farmer Cannot
Compete.
Tha day of the happy go-lucky farm
er is gone There is no use trying He
cannot make il. If he will not change
his methods he may as well lie down
and die easy and have it over with.
The struggle of the old fashioned farm
err to live under modern conditions is
like the struggle of a man dying of
dropsy. He is in constant agony for
breath until he can breathe no more.
There are now many farmers who have
thrown off the ancient traditions and
have learned to know the facts before
they act. If they are darymen they
know what their milk costs them, and
if it is costing too much they find
where the loss is. If they are stock
men they know how to feed all that
their stock can digest and no more, and
they do it. If they are winemakers,
they understand what happens in wine
fermentation, and so control condi-
tons that the right thing happens.
If they are orchardists they so under
stand the structure of plants and the
functions of their organs that they can
detect the approach of disease in time
10 protect from it's ravages. In short,
Fb ever branch of agriculture is
dsu,ed they understand the essential
,-cs Ederlying it, so far as they are
Gc God by any one. The more
they know The more they distrust their
own knowledge and the more anxious
they are to learn.
1t is such men as these who are able
to produce goods cheapest and they are
runnns their old-fashioned COMPETE
tors out of business. They are making
q little something even now, and here
after the farming business, like that of
all other lines will be controlled by
those who know how to make first
class goods by the cheapest methods.
Many farmers who viii not learn are
out of debt They can live. doubtless,
although probably gradually redu cling
their capital but the old-fashioned
farmer who is i'm debt and will not
learn is gone. Like fish on the bank.
he may Sop for a time, but gradually
it is h"rder work, and pretty soon he
lies sill.

"For five weeks lived on cold water.
so to speak" writes man who suffered
terribly from Indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What STAYED. wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible Bangs.
This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish-
ment. They are generally thin and
weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on
there's no telling what disease they may
get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker
Digestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms
of indigestion appear
1t cures all the evils of indigestion,
and prevents the evils which indigestion
causes.

In southern California, in the peach
districts, peachstones are not uncom-
monty used as fuel. They are sold at
the canneries by the wagonload.
Peachstones burn freely and make
very good fire.
On the hOmeward voyage of vessels
in the cocoanut trade, cocoanuts are
used for fuel, as they are also while the
vessel is lying at her wharf discharg-

SADDLES OF CKATE.

The manner in which Tai, Wing Filmed
Fish is Prepared ion Market.
The skate is a fish not commonly
found in the market, and when in sup
ply it is bought chiefly by the French
and Italian residents Of the city. In
preparing it for sale the head and
front part of the body and the tail and
rear part of the body are cut away en-
tirely, leaving a ridge joining the two
big wing-like pectoral fins, in which,
with their basal supports, the meat
that is eaten is found The part thus
left remaining, if held up, would take
a shape something like that of a saddle,
and it is called a skate saddle.
The skates that are brought to mar
ket weigh from two to fifty pounds
each. Sometimes there are no skates
in market sometimes the supply is larg-
er than the demand, which is never
great The price is always low.
An old fisherman said that a man
blindfolded couldn't tell skate having
vinegar on it from lobster.

ing no general provision of existing stat
utes to prescribe the form of government
for newly incorporated territory, it was
necessary to stipulate, as in the Domini-
can precedent, for continuing the existing
machinery of the government and laws in
the Hawaiian Islands until provision shall

territory of the United States of the do
main thus Incorporated into the union,
but having in view the peculiar status
created in Hawaii, by laws enacted in eX-
ecuton of treaties heretofore concluded be-

such Hawaiian laws are thus PROVISIONAL

with the constitution or the laws of the
United States, or with the provisions of
this treaty.
1T will be noticed that express stipula-
ton is made prohibiting the coming of
Chinese laborers from the Hawaiian is
lands to any other part of our national
territory. This provision was proper and
necessary in view of the Chinese exclusion
acts and it behooved the negotiators to see
to it that this treaty, which in turn is to
become in due constitutional course, a SUI
preme law of the land, shall not alter or
amend the existing law in this most inn
