The Gentle Cow.

The pioneer settlers of Tulare county
were cattle growers, attracted hither
in the early days of California by the
abundance of wild feed found grow
ing within it's boundaries, and the
numerous streams coursing through
the valley. It was only in 1873 that
farmers commenced settling up the
men were lords of the country, and
the pioneer farmers, who proposed
cultivating the lands to grain, had a
battle royal to hold their footing
against cattle barons. Up to the latter
years nearly all of Tulare county lands
were owned by the United States
government, and cattle growers paid
no rental for them, and it was very
natural they should use every means
in their power to prevent settlers pur-
ment, or in other words homesteading
the land, and the contest between cattle
men and farmers Waged fast and
furious until the Legislature passed
what is known or termed a "no-fence
law" which forced the owners to care
for their herds and prevent them from
trespassing on the possessions Of
locators.
At the time of this contest cattle
growers loudly predicted that in case
the '.no-fence" act become a law they
would be driven from the country and
that within a few years the settlers
would. have to abandon this region, as
the soil was unsuitable to grain grow
ing.
True, grain growing has not proven
an exceptionally profitable business,
but neither has cattle growing been
abandoned as predicted. The land
was too well adapted to that indus
try, and today metropolitan cities on
this Coast look to Tulare county to
supply them with choice beef cattle.
The soil that produced such an
abundance of wild grass is today pro-
ducing, where under system of ir-
rigating canals, from eight to twelve
tons annually per acre of choice al
falfa, one of the most nutritious of
grasses not only for fattening cattle,
but to stimulate milk production.
There is no one industry in Tulare
county that has proven more profit
able than cattle growing, and even
the old-time cattle growers have stayed
with the country and grown rich in
the buSineSS.-[ Register.

Infested Stock.

The Horticultural Commission has
been considerably stirred up this week
over the shipment of some nursery
stock from Cucamonga nursery that
was infested with red scale. Contrary
to regulations, the trees were shipped
to Los Angeles without having been
inspected by the representatives of the
commission, and went without the
usual certificate.
The result was trouble, when the
trees got over into Los Angeles county
and were discovered to be infested with
red scale.
The commission has been investi-
eating the matter and finds that the
scale reached the nursery stock
through some shade trees that sustain
growth of mistletoe, and here was
located the source of the trouble.
Whether the mistletoe is particularly
the breeding place for red scale the
commissioners have not made up their
minds, but they do know that the
source Of the present rumpus, which
almost caused a quarantine against
San Bernardino stock by the Los
Angeles authorities was the mistletoe.

San Jose Scale.

S. I. Kuwana, an assistant in the
department of entomology, will leave
for Japan tomorrow on a mission,
which may have significant results for
the fruit growers and farmers Of the
country. He goes to make a special
study of the world-famous San Jose
scale in the isands of Japan, and hopes
to gather data and specimens which
will enable him to come to clearer
understanding of the habits and work
of this pest than has yet been reached
by any entomologist. Being a native
of Japan and thoroughly familiar with
the Japanese people and language, he
is deemed especially fitted to make
the investigation he has before him.
He will return to the University about
September 1.
The significant feature of the San
Jose scale in Japan is explained by the
belief held by some entomologists, that
this insect may likely be a native of
that coutry. That it exists and thrives
there as well known, but it is equally
well known that it does little damage

Treating InROmnia.

SO many people suffer from insomnia
nowadays that it is wonder they dc
not adopt the time honored custom OF
French kings and indeed of our an
cestors generally, the zen cas- by the
bedside, the meal of fruit or bread and
cold chicken, put ready in case of
wakefulness. Many a merry little meal
might be eaten in the middle of the
night, when thoughts crowd on the
mind and care sits heavy. 1t is the
wakeful digestion that claims its due
and clamors to be fed. Our forefa-
theirs were wise, and many a hunter
after old furniture knows the quaint
little cupboard with a grated door
which served for the night meal and Is
now sometimes labeled a cheese cup
board. A bedside book is Of no use
when the pangs of hunger make for
mastery, but with a book and a
"snack" one can contrive to pass
some pleasant hours, even when sleep
does not touch ones eyelids and the
sweet boon Of unconsciousness evades
ones grasp.-New York Times.

LITTLE CRABS IN OYSTERS.

Rare De1icacies and in Great Demand.

"The demand for that little Southern

in NewsYork to Washington Star

obliged to buy them from the oyster
shuckers along the York, Rappahar-
mock and other southern rivers. The
Chesapeake Bay shore oystermen send
us some also.
'"The little crab found in the oyster
is not, as commonly supposed by two

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in this Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
of food made with alum baking powers
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the ef-
feet that such powders render the food
unwholesome, have caused numerous
inquiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
The following list of baking pow
ders containing alum is made up from
the reports of the State Chemists Food
Commissioners or other reliable au-
thority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum.
K. C................C Contains Alum.
Jaques Mfg. Co.. Chicago
CALUMET. Contains Alum.
Calumet Baking Powder Co., Chicago.
HOME. ....... ....... Contains Alum.
Home Baking Powder Co, San Francisco.
BEE-HIVE..... ......ContainS Alum.
Washing on Mfg. Co., San Francisco.
CLOVER LEAF. Contains Alum.
Pacific Mfg. Co., Los Angeles
In addition to these, it in learned that
many grocerS are selling what they
call their own private or special brands.
These powders are put up for the gro
Ger and his name put upon the labels
by manufacturers of alum powders.
The manufacturers, it is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this way
greatly aided by the ambition of the
grocer to sell a powder with his own
name upon the label, especially when
the grocer can make an abnormal
profit upon it. Many grocres, doubt
less do not know that the
powders they are thus pushing are
alum powders which would be actually
contraband in many sections if sold
without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the names
of all the alum baking powders in the
market. They are constantly appear
ing in all sorts of DISCUSSES, under all
kinds of cognomens, and at all kinds
of prices, even as low as five and ten
cents a pound. They can be avoided,
however, by the housekeeper who will
bear in mind that all baking powders
sold at twenty-five cents or less per
pound are liable to contain alum, as
pure cream of tartar baking powders
cannot be produced at anything like
| this price.
