The orange Bolt in California.

The orange producing belt Of Califor-
MIA includes the counties Of Los An
geles, Riverside. San Bernardino. Or
ange, San Diego, Santa Barbara and
Ventura. Added to this is the foothill
region skirting the Sierras. In this
principal belt there are now $4,000
acres. The bearing trees In Southern
California number 2,o72, 400, the nom
bearing trees 1927, 300, but as the lat
ter will soon be productive 1t Is easy
to see the time when the output will
amount to $1,000 carloads, and the In.
come be $1O.OO0,OO0. The capital In
vested is already about $4,000 900.
While oranges were first grown by the
monks at San Gabriel Mission as long
ago as 1904, the present industry Is all
of recent growth. 1t was In 1870 that
John Wolfskill planted the first or
chard In California. Land adapted to
the purpose Of the orange-orchardist
went from q valuation Of $50 per acre
to $500, and single tree that once
could have been procured from the
nursery for ten cents reached valua-
tion of SLIGO. OF course, In being
brought to its present stage Of devel-
opment, orange-growing was attended
by many costly experiments. For
tunes have been sunk, but fortunes
have been made, and from the lessons
Of experience the industry has been
placed on secure footing.

where. The largest chicken, farm to-
day is ct Sydney, Ohio. This plant
has the capacity Of raising one hun
dred thousand brollers per year. but
it does not sell the egg product. 10
accomplish this it has q flock OF less

the great packer, has q chicken farm
of eighteen thousand head near MIL
waukee, and this is considered one of
the largest in the country. One New
Jersey concern is said to be the largest
chicken and egg purchaser In this
country, but never have its focks ex-
ceeded eighteen thousand.

for eggs If the herds can be properly

ers, keeps about six hundred head Of
laying fowls, in small colonies, solely
for eggs for the market. His total egg
yield was 117,600 eggs for the year
ending October 1, 1899. His receipts
were $4.OS per year for each Of the
six hundred hens. He figures $1.0s
per year erhen for keep and expenses,
showing O net profit Of $500 per year
for this colonized flock Of six hundred.
And this Is the profit. says Mr.. Ben
son, on an investment Of less than
5000.
Mr.. Benson estimates that this man.
moth egg ranci will cost, equipped
and stocked with 10000 hens ready
for a daily lay Of $4,000 to 100000
eggs, about $266,0O0. The yearly ex-
pense of running this plant will be.
including feed, delivery system, ETC.,
about $4,000. The yearly income is

volving disc, which receives the egg
as soon as 1t Is laid and moves 1t away
from the nest when released by the
rising Of the hen. The disc is then
ready TO receive the next egg, and In
this way no egg is incubated for an
instant.
The second invention saves the ex-
pensc of numerous attendants and the
lives Of the smaller hens. One Of the
greatest troubles md trials Of poultry
farms has been that Of feeding. Un-
less time were taken to scatter the
food far and wide the larger fowls
beat away the smaller from 1t, and
the result was that the smaller v>.re
impcrfectly nourished, impairing their
laying capacity. AS small hens may
be as prolific as larger ones, and as
overfeeding produces fat and dimin-
.ishes. the laying, the Importance of fair
and even distribution of food to laying
hens Is plain. To make this cheap
and easy, an electric food scatterer
has been invented. The attendant
places the feed in it and upon pressure
Of q button ut central station the
food is scattered simultaneously in
all sections evenly over the surface Of
the reservation.
The. third improvement is to destroy
the vermin, the enemy of fowl. Most
vermin pass from fowl to fowl at
night, when the fowls are roosting,and
crawl up the walls of the chicken
house and out upon the perch. These
assaults are rendered vain by q perch
which Is set in cup, In which the ver-
min are caught and destroyed before
they can reach the fowls.
The eggs will be collected from the
nest disc several times day. Packing
and shipping will go on continually.
"a few hours will bring them to New
York in the cars Of the company and
delivered by their own, trains each
morning. The fresh laid eggs will be
PACKED ma Sslipped ID paper boxes
containing from one-half dozen to

Benson is the general manager of this
gigantic concern, which will be the.
biggest ins the world. "a, 857
In q recent lecture Professor A. a.
Brigham, Of the Rhode Island College
Of Agriculture, at the Poultry Expert
ment Station, Kingston, said:
"To make IN industry Of the chicken
and its product is not q question Of
the market, which can always be had.
1t is not the expense Of keeping, which
is always low. :, It is not question
of profit, which, If properly conducted,
Is large. 1t Is the question how to
reach and conduct on q business scale
large herds Of hens, the chicken busi-
ness of to-day being merely q home in
dustry. Something, therefore, must
be done to make hen raising q national
business on q business scale"
This will be accomplished, says Mr.,
Benson, ut the Manasquan egg farm.
Under his system any number of chick
ems can be herded. Instead Of allow.
ing them to run a. large and mingle
freely, as Of old, picking their food
from NIL kinds of refuse. they are to
be divided into colonies Of not above
thirty hens. Each colony will have
its own reservation, kept In hygienic
cleanliness and order, and separate
and Isolated at oil times from the
Others. ',:4f; {s@t s.f3s / .ss.ss ;,
This makes feeding of each fowl
possible to insure the greatest product
iYeness, with, as experience has proved,
an average yearly yield Of two hun
dred eggs from each hen. The Sec
ond advantage Of the segregation of
the fowls is that should q chicken by
any chance become sick or breed YER
min, the trouble cannot spread beyond
that one reservation before it lis de-
tected hence there can be none@of the
epidemics which have, sometimes
played havoc with the fancy stock
fowl on chicken farms. Moreover, the
new system permits the immediate
Identification Of any hen failing in pro,
ductsYeness, and her prompt replace

high average. s-s.t hy SO
The system includes the extensive
use of,several patents, which bring the

Cecil Rhodes and the Ladies, ]

It is said by those who know Mr.. Ce.
ell Rhodes, the South African magnate.
that he has, in common with Lord
Kitchener, a strong aversion to the
opposite sex. While on visit to Lon
don before the commencement Of the
war he dlned at the house af avery
wealthy lady Of title, and later, when
he was discussing the affair with his
secretary, the latter asked: "And whom
did you take to dinner?" "Oh, don't
know. Some Lady Somebody" was
the reply. "But what did you call
her" Didn't call her anything
never spoke to her."-Argonaut,
