the general statement that the silo
is all right for a country where they
have snow and ice. and have to house
their cattle three or four months in the
year, but in California cattle can run
out the year round Now, however,
the Wide-awake dairyman is coming TO
realize that the California dairyman
needs the silo even more than his
brother of the colder sections OF the
East Here conditions are such that
he can obtain even larger profit from
its intelligent use. Here we have two
seasons when the silo is especially
needed First, during the long dry
summers, when there is little or no
succulent pasturage outside Of the 1rrl-
gated districts, where the ever green
alfalfa thrives. And. second, during
the winter months. when the new
grasses are young and poor; months
when the cattle should be kept OF Of
the pastures, so that the early feed
might be given a chance to grow and
develop, and SO that the tramping OF
the wet soil by the stock. as they roam
and travel from spot to spot, seeking
mouthful from the new closely
cropped verdure that is struggling for
an existence might be avoided. In
this State we have so equable a cli-
mate that dairying should be prof1tabiy
conducted every day in the year.
THE output from a well conducted
dairy should not largely vary in
quantity or quality from month to
month through the year.
"Cows should be bred, trained and
developed to milk from ca1ving, to neai
the time of next parturition.
1.-THE old way Of operating the dairy
from six to eight months, during the
time of flush feed. must give way to
steady production. 365 days in the
year.
Now, we produce the mass Of the
dairy product in a few spring months
when markets are glutted and prices
as consequence are low. Later in
the year the product is so reduced that
consumption is greater than the supply.
and prices are advanced
"Succulent foods in abundance will
change this condition of the dairy bust,
ness, and the well conducted silo fur.

SHOP LIFTING BEGINS.
There have been many complaints
among grocers and other exhibitors
that they have been the prey Of petty
thieves, who have here and there stolen
spoons and dishes. This has occurred
particularly in the grocers' exhibits,
where delicacies are served in neat
little china dishes. with neat souvenir
spoons, which. however nobody has
been invited to carry away. It is be-
lieved that one woman victimized a
number of booths. One stand had out
a sign announcing that a woman ''naa
taken liberties also some spoons from
this stand" If this matter continues
some of the Morse men will quietly lead
the guilty out and ring for a patrol
wagon. It should be said, however,
that there have been no bunHo men or
pickpockets in the Pavilion.
&, SOME FINE PAINTINGS.
The visitor who is interested In art
might spend many days studying the
hangings Of this years gallery. Con.
tinuing the brief notices already be-
gun, the following pictures should be
seen:
Laura Kings Study Of a Head

whether studied for the coloring, the
pose or the general effect It is a back
view of a lady's head and the colors
and lighting Of the neck are particu-
larly fine
NJ. Patterson's Mount Tamalpais"
(400) is well worth seeing. 1t is a fine
water color, with lights and atmo-
sphere very pleasing.
While in the same vicinity it would
be improper to miss c. H. Colby's Foot
| Bridge (40D, which is as pretty a
rural glimpse as there is in the Pa
vilion. The trees, background and gem
eral surroundings are all charming.
Both 396 and 397 are skillful studies
by H. Blatchly In these there is a
fine balance in the colors and atmo-
sphere, and the conclusion is irresist-
| ible that the artist caught nature
! when he was in favored mood
Latimers Landscape" (392) is a
study well worth careful inspection.
The background is exquisite and the
trees are strikingly natural.
