There is a little settlement of New Hamp.
shire people in Kiowa county, Col. Among
other things they brought with them the
New Hampshire aversion to using any more
words in conversation than are absolutely
necessary, says the Philadelphia Record.
Two of them met on the road recently and
INDUCED in the following dialogue:
''Mornin', ST."
'Mornin', Josh"
"What'd you give your horse for bots?S
'Turpentine."
'Mornin'"
''Mornin'."
A few days later the men met again, and
here's the way hard luck story was told in
mighty few words:
'Mornin', ST."
'Mornin', JOSH
'What'd you say you gave your horse for
bots?"
"Turpentine"

"Nline, too

WALL 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
tign stretched in front of his house
with ''Rabbitry" upon it; newspapers
devoted special issues to the industry,
and from every standpoint it promised
10 rival the mineral wealth of Caiifor-
lia 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
tul and the present market prices are
considerably less than is required for
feed alone and the industry is pro1itless

bit in the box to receive them. With a
jackknife a slot is cut up from each
hole. into which the necks of the screws
fit, holding the nest firmly. 1t can be
detached instantly.
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 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
the litter on the floor. In this way eggs
are often broken, and the egg eating
habit acquired.-N. Y. Tribune.

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

FRlLE-M INNING BElllIlAN HARE.
and discouraging. 1t is for this reason
that many breeders who have become
disguised at the almost utter Lack of
q 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 100, 900 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
6rst 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
1t is 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
renter 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
glib-tongued dealers that the cost Of
raising the hare to market size was
trifiing compared with the immense
profits that would accrue. But cpl
tures did not take kindly to the hare
as food. Some of the hotels used to
make feature of a 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 ownRrs 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 U.s.
900 animals in this county alone. Not
only do they multiply at 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 great
menace to planters, and it is only a
few years since that annual rabbit
drives were held atwhich thousands of
the Dummies were rounded up and
slaughtered.-Los Angeles Letter in
n, Y. Sun.

from the old company takes place It
is highly probable that the next meet
inb will be held some time this week
