Tours to California.

California has been most ftiingly termed
the Italy OF America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich
Yerdure of the great European peninsula
are duplicated in this sunny land of the
Pacific. Here nature basks in the sunshine
of her own beauty; and here she has es.
tablished her own sanitarium, where eter-
nal spring inspires everlasting youth. With
the snow-mantled peaks of the Sierras upon
the one hand, the calm Pacific with its soft
breezes upon the other, and a veritable
paradise of flowers, fruits, and plants
between, man can find and needs no love-
lier land. To visit such country is a
privilege, blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
recognizing the need of more comfortable
and pleasant way Of crossing the continent,
inaugurated a series of annual tours to
California, running q through train Of
Pullman palace cars from New York to the
Pacific Coast, and stopping at the principal
points of interest en- route. The great
popularity of these tours demonstrates the
wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York, Phila-
delphia, and Pittsburg, January 81, Feb
ruary "a, and March 81.
The first tour will run direct to San
Diego via ST. Louis and the Santa Fe Route,
and return from San Francisco via Salt
Lake City, Denver, and Chicago, allowing
five weeks in California.
The second tour will run via the Mann
moth Cave and New Orleans to San Diego,
stopping at the Crescent City" during the
Mardi Gras Carnival. This tour will re-
turn via Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha,
and Chicago, allowing four weeks in Cali
fornia.
The third tour will run via Chicago,
Denver, and Salt Lake City, allowing pas
sengers to return by regular trains via
different routes within nine months.
ALI of these tours, either going or re-
turning, will pass through the famous
Colorado region, Greenwood Springs, Lead
vile, and the Garden of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad System east of Pittsburg
First tour, $310; second tour. $3.50; third
tour, $210 round trip, and $3.50 one way.

the Holstein- Friesian yields more milk
than any other breed, which is true. 1t
is also true that the black and whites
are the biggest feeders of any. 1t takes
considerably more to fill one of them up
than it does the smaller Guernsey or
Jersey.
AS if, however. to overturn all tradi-
tons and beliefs, along came, i'll her

Crumhorn Holstein- Friesian, and knock
cd out the butter records of all her great
rivals of both the Guernsey and Jersey
breeds We reproduce here picture of
this wonderful old cow that averaged
three pounds of butter for every day dur
ing one solid year. Observe here the
pure typical dairy type. the long body,
delicate neck and head, sharp muzzle,
slim tail and peaked rump. The milk
veins stand out like ropes.
When you have COW or heifer with
such points, you may be sure of great
mixer, whether she yields enough but

mercial butter day or not. A soft,
rich, yellow skin is generally fair in
dication of rich milk.

anything that will float should be firm

If trout are kept, the stream above
the pond should be cleared and gravel
thrown in in places to make spawning
beds for the fish.
Stock trout or bass pond with some
small fish, as minnows or club, whose
eggs, as we'll as those of frogs, afford
much food for this fish. Chopped liver
is excellent food for trout. But if any
artificial methods are to be adopted, some
manual on fish culture should be studied.
Trout and black bass are carnivorous,
and are thus very well suited with q
pond or stream in which clean, fresh
water plants grow--as water lilies, eel
grass, wild rice-but not to such an ex-
cess as to cause the water to become
stagnant, for these plants harbor a large
number of animalcules and small aquatic
animals, and thus supply much food. =

1t was just 70 years ago this winter
that the stallion Justin Morgan. founder
of the Morgan family, was killed by the
kick of another horse He was 80 years
old.
When valuable COW is tied up in the
stable six months of the year and does
not get out even to stretch her limbs
and sniff the natural air, she naturally
gets dyspeptic and her blood becomes
impure. Then the state veterinarian
raises the cry that she has got tuber-
culosis. Half the tuberculosis going is
simply a arrangement Of the cows'
nervous and digestive systems through

year around. What kind of health

A new breed of sheep, of tremendous
size and very broad backed, is being
evolved by the agricultural department.

black, white or reddish brown in color.
Wool from the new cross is eight inches
long and brought at San Francisco 4

The horse and cattle market in Great
Britain is very good at present for first
quality, but breeders and Shippers must
remember one thing--there is no market
at all for anything but first class ami
mails. The greatest benefactor to the
farmers and breeders Of this country
would be the person who was able to
impress on them that they must inn
prove every blessed product that goes of
their places. from horses to poultry and
dairy goods. Quality, quality, quality
is the thing.

The claim has been made for both
Jerseys and Guernseys that each makes
more butter than any other. The posi-
tive claim is put forward for the Guern-

amount of feed. The Jersey breeder an
swers: "What of that? Butter is worth
more than feed, is it not? If by buying
cheap feed and crowding it into a Jersey
cow you can make a large quantity Of
high priced butter, does not that pay
better than getting smaller quantity

silage For Fattening steers.

I am an advocate of the moderate use
of silage for fattening cattle, especially
in the first stages. Silage keeps the It's
sues Of the body sappy, giving just that
condition Of the animal system which is
desired by the feeder AS the fattening
period progresses the flesh should become
firm, and to accomplish this the amount
Of silage fed should be decreased and
the grain increased. Our limited expert
ence in feeding silage to steers at this
station was very favorable to silage.
Dairymen have found silage cheaper
than roots and a good Substitute for
them. Professor Henry.
