VAIL FROM CALIFORNIA.
to Bring Wealth and Indepen-
dence Are Now Closed.

Less than year ago the entire state
was Belgian hare mad. Fanciers were
importing animals from abroad and
paying exorbitant prices for them;
every man with back yard soon had a
sign stretched in front of his house
with "Rabbitry" upon it; newspapers
devoted special issues to the industry,
and from every standpoint it promised
to rival the mineral wealth of Ca.ifor-
mia as builder up of magnificent for
tunes. Now the bubble has broken and
the agricultural and horticultural in
terests of southern California. are
threatened with Belgian hare pest.
The effort to create a demand for the
hare for food purposes was not success
full and the present market prices are
considerably less than is required for
feed alone and the industry is profitless

THE MoULTING SEASON.
At No other Time of YearD the Hens
Require More Care or Nu-
tritfOus RatiOns.

The most critical period of hens
life is during the moulting season, from
July to December. It takes biddy about
100 days to take off her old coat and
put on a new one. Some commence
moulting much sooner than others and
get through long before winter sets
in. This is very desirable, as hens sell
dom lay during the moult, or the lar
ger part of it; therefore if they COM
mence early it will be decided gain,
for then they could be got in laying
condition before cold weather. If this
is not done they will pass the winter
without amounting to anything as
layers.
The feathers are composed largely
of nitrogen and mineral matter. The
first process is the loosening stage,
when the feathers loosen and drop out,
at times leaving the bird almost naked,
and exposing the body to the influences
of the weather. Should they be late in
moulting they should be carefully
housed during cold, damp weather.
When the new feathers begin to come
in it causes great drain upon the hens
system. The foods best adapted to the
season are the heterogeneous foods such
as grass bugs, worms, clover, meat, etc.
At this period the hens should have I'M
| limited range, SO that they can gather
good supply of such articles as they
need.
During this period it may be we'll to
add tonic to the drinking water. A
tea made of white oak bark is good.
Add enough to color the water. Some
time before the mounting season the
hens should be fed up and put in good
condition, for poor hens are usually
slow at moulting. Give them in addi-
ton to the regular soft feed linseed
meal, cottonseed meal, fresh meat and
fresh cut bone. The object is to supply
the fowls with feather forming mate
rial. Keep this up through the entire
mouiting season. II the fowls are too
fatwithholG the grain and their fat will
diminish. Their system cannot be at
prime if too fat. Oats may be used
sparingly and bran will be found excel
lent. Above all things rid the fowls of
lice. 1t is impossible for hen to renew
her coat rapidly and run boarding
house for parasites besides.
Should any be late in moulting, it
would be well to kill or sell them. for,
If they are not through in time to lay
in the winter season, they will be a
dead expense. All hens should be en-
tirely through by December. Some
fowls seem to lose their feathers in
few days, while others drag along all
| through the moult. This is largely due
to greater or less degree of tempera-
ture of the fowls body. The hearty eat
ing warm blooded bird is the first one
to mouth. w. Hearn, in Ohio

SiIencing the Boaster.

A certain man was very much given
to Dragging about grand relations and
connections, though he was not always
quite convincing. On one occasion he
was particularly tiresome, holding
forth about LADY Blank, whom 1 met
yesterday, connection of mine
through Lord So-andSo and the Earl
of Nobody" and SO on. A Scotchman
present said, quietly: THAT reminds
me O. man I knew, who said he was
a relation O. the duke o. Argyll, and
explained it this way: The dukes
piper's sisters wee laddie has wee
doggie that's ain brither to my aunt's
wee ladies doggie.' The boaster was
silent about his grand relations for the
rest of the evening Tit-Bits.

and discouraging. 1t is for this reason
that many breeders who have become
disguised at the almost utter Lack of
a market for their hares are secretly,
and in some instances openly, turning
them loose to forage on the country in
order to avoid the expense of feeding
them.
The menace in this condition of af-
fairs will perhaps be understood bet
ter when it is stated that there are
proba bly, more than 100000 hares in
this state at present. The Belgian hare
Industry in this region has been re-
markable for its wonderful growth
and the number of people who have en-
gagged in it, and for the startling
fecundity shown by the hare in this
climate. The alluring places obtained
for breeding stock by those who were
early in the business tempted thou
sands to start rabbitries who lacked
the proper means to care for the stock,
and in many instances had no idea of
the cost or labor involved.
For months prices were readily paid
that were out of all reason. The bust
ness assumed gigantic proportions dur
ing the last few months of 1899 and the
first few months of the present year.
In February a mammoth exposition
of rabbits was held here at which thou
sands of animals were exhibited which
was attended by fanciers from every
part of the country. At this exposition
tits said that 1925 was paid for single
animal, while for imported stock as
high as $3.50 has been paid in this city.
Los Angeles became the recognized
center of the rabbit industry and or
ders were filed from every part of the
United States for fine specimens for
breeding purposes.
But the great majority of breeders
were raising their stock for market
purposes, relying on the statements of
gib-tongued dealers that the cost of
raising the hare to market size was
trifling compared with the immense
profits that would accrue. But cpl
cures did not take kindly to the hare
as food. Some of the hotels used to
make feature of Belgian hare part
of the menu while the winter visitors
were here, but the high-priced market
that was prophesied did not occur and
the time has long since passed when it
paid to raise them for purely breeding
purposes. Of late owners of stock have
been willing to trade or sell for little
or nothing because of the feeding eX-
pense entailed in keeping them.
The fecundity of the hare in this
climate is beyond all expectations of
the pioneers in the industry. One rab-
bit in this city in IA months raised 100
young. and there are from $4,000 to 49,
600 animals in this county alone. Not
only do they multiply at a wonderful
rate, but they are hardy and will do
well in the open. The coyotes and
wildcats, which are natural enemies to
the rabbit family, have been nearly ex-
terminated. In years gone the jack
rabbit and cottontail have been a great
menace to planters, and it is only a
few years since that annual rabbit
drives were held at which thousands of
the Dummies were rounded up and
slaughtered.-Los Angeles Letter in

"Eben Holden; Tale of the North Coun-
try" by Irving Bacheller-published by
Lothrop company, Boston-is tale to be
sure, but so faithfully does 1t depict the
scenes of the day and locality from which
1t is taken as to read more like history
The common places of existence in north
'ern New York in the forties and f1fties are
so woven into charming story as to make
the tale appear more as reality than as
a well-written bit of fiction. 1t is book
of many sides. The curious tales of Uncle
Eb, with which he was want to amuse his
little orphaned nephew, is side that APP
peals to the children. The descriptions of
the methods of living. of the incidents
which brought to the hardy sons of harder
pioneers their joys and sorrows is of In
terest to every student of Americas
growth, while Uncle Eb, with his quaint
.ayings and his good American sense is as
clever characterization as 1t would be
possible to find.

time and locality, and at the same time
gives the reader a glimpse Of Uncle Eb:

II took our Black Hawk stallion to
the fair in Hillsborough and showed
him for prize. He was fit for the
eye of a king when we had finished
grooming him, that morning, and led
him out, rearing in play, his eyes
flashing from under his broad plume,
so that all might have last look
at him. His arched neck and slim
barrel glowed like satin as the sun
light fell upon him. His black name
flew, he shook the ground with his
hoofs playing at the halter's end. He
hated a harness. and once in it lost
half his conceit. But he was vainest
of all things in PARKWAY when we
drove off with him that morning.

went on stiff jog. passing lumber

Care of Guinea Pigs.

These little animals are strictly pets
and no relation whatever to pigs. They
are similar in habits and disposition to
rabbits and should be treated about
the same. Keep in warm, dry hutches
which must be cleaned frequently.
Feed plentifully of fresh roots, vege-
tables and grains. The young should
have soft food for time and, but little
green stuff. Soaked peas and beans
are relished and boiled potatoes. Give
water and feed twice daily only what
they will eat up clean. They are very
prolific, and the young, which are
three to five to the litter, are born
with eyes open and well-covered with
hair. Wean them at six weeks old,
taking one away at time.-Farm and

coming out in ancient vehicles upon
reeling, creaking wheels to get food
for a years reflection-all thickening
the haze of the late summer with the
dust of the roads. And Hillsborough
itself was black with people. The
shouts of excited men. the neighing
of horses, the believing of cattle, the
wailing of infants, the bowling of
vendors, the pressing crowd, had be-
gun to sow the seed of misery in the
minds of those accustomed only to
the peaceful quietude of the farm.
The staring eye, the palpitating heart,
the aching head, were successive
stages in the doom of many. The fair

full of sheep and cattle, it's dining

lumber, it's half-mile track and
grand stand. Here voices of beast
and vendor mingled in a chorus of Gu
pidity and distress. In Floral hall Sol
Rollin was on exhibition. He gave
me cold nod, his lips set for tune
as yet inaudible. He was surveying
sundry examples of rustic art that
hung on the circular railing of the
gallery and trying to preserve calm

"G'LANG THERE!" HE SHOUTED.

loudly.
"Ownedl by David Brewer, O. Fara-
way" said another, looking at his
card.
Where indeed was Uncle Eb? I
got up on the fence and looked all
about me anxiously. Then I heard
great cheering up the track. Some
body was coming down, at a rapid
pace, riding a splendid-moving ami

powerful stride. His head and flying
name obscured the rider, but I could
see the end of rope swinging in his
hand. There was something familiar
in the easy stride of the horse. The
foam before a breaker. Upon my
eyes! 1t was Black Hawk, with moth
ing but a plain rope halter on his
head, and Uncle Eb riding him.
'G'lang there!" he shouted, swing
ing the halter stale to the shining
flank. "G'lang there!" and he went
by, like flash, the tail of Black
Hawk straight out behind him, it's
end feathering in the wind. 1t was
a splendid thing to see that white
haired man, sitting erect on the fly
ing animal, with only rope halter
in his hand. Every man about me
was yelling. / swung my hat, shout

faces and shot themselves weary In
a reckless contest of skill and endur-
ance. A great, hulking fellow, half
drunk and a bit quarrelsome, came
up, presently, and endeavored to help
Alb hold his rifle. The latter brushed
him away and said nothing for mo-
ment. But every time he tried to
take aim the fellow jostled him.
Alb looked up slowly and calmly, his
eyebrows tilted for his aim, and said:
go off, tell YOU" Then he set him
self and took aim again.
The man, aching for more applause,
grew more impertinent. Alb quietly
handed the rife to it's owner. Then
something happened suddenly. 1t
was so quickly over I am not quite
sure of the order of business, but any
how he seized the intruder by the
shoulders, fiinging him down SO
heavily it knocked the dust out of
the grass.
Alb turned quietly to the range.
"Hedn't orter t. come an try t
dew my aimin'," he said, mildly, by
way of protest; 81 won't hev it,"
Then he inquired about the score
and calmly took aim again.
The stallion show came on that
afternoon.

Uncle Eb had said to me.
"'Fraid they WILL" I answered.
They're better hitched, for one
thing"
"But they hain't got the ginger in

the moment when Uncle Eb should
drive down with Black Hawk in a

palmer buggy. 1 had planned to
spend the prize money taking Hope
to the harvest ball at Richards, and
I had worked hard to put the Hawk
in good fettle. I began to feel the
bitterness of failure.

The height from the floor at which
nests should be placed must be deter
mined in part by the size of the breed,
as Brahmas and Cochins need lower
nests than Leghorns and other lighter
breeds.
But this should be borne in mind,
that the nest should be as high as pos
sible, to make a visit to it on the part
of fowls, except for business purposes,
not at all likely. If conveniently low,
hen will jump up into nest and begin
to scratch in the hay as she would in

are often broken, and the egg eating
