While there is much less need of presrv ing eggs in Southern California than cold winter countries, this information may prove useful to readers.-Los Angeles Herald.
 Feed for Working Horse
 Singular as it may seem, it is yet true, that many who use horses have no definite conception of what should be fed a working horse, but guess at lit and after a time succeed in feeding about the necessary quantity. Dr. D. Mcintosh of Champaign county, Illi- nois, high authority on the horse, knowing how to keep a horse healthy as well as how to care for one when sick, gives this advice about feeding:
 "The best feed for a working horse to keep healthy and in thrifty con dition is good oats hay and bran. There Is no rule that can be laid down as to the quantity of food that a horse should be fed during the twenty-four lhours. This will depend on the con-
Imperial press., 1901-06-29

stitution of the horse and the amount of work he has to do. The oats and hay should in all cases be of the best quality, as musty hay or oats will soon derange the general system of the horse.
 "The majority of horses will keep in good condition and do fair days work on four quarts of oats at feed three times day, and fourteen pounds of good hay, with 8 small bran mash twice week. If the horse will not keep in good flesh on this ration in- crease the oats to five quarts three times a day, and the hay to sixteen pounds Water before feeding and be sure and feed regularly"
 A Poultry Trust Now
 It is reported that a strong asso- citation of dealers has been formed at Kansas City for the purpose of con- trolling the egg and poultry indus try in several States. This associa tion meets once a week and fixes prices to suit conditions in the leading markets. It is understood to be or ganized on the lines of the meat trusts, and that the big packers are behind it. Apparently it has grown out of the sharp competition of pack CTS for storage eggs. According 10 trade estimates, Chicago alone has d capacity for storing 940,00O cases of eggs, thirty dozen to the case, and 400, 900 cases are said to be stored al- ready. The great demand for storage eggs is during the holidays of early winter.
 Berries
 Berries all need looking to at this time to keep down suckers in black berries and to head back the long strong shoots of Logan berries. The young shoots of the blackberry also need cutting back or they will grow so long as to fall down in the way for next year. Cutting both kinds of berries makes them stocky and causes side shoots, which may in turn have to be checked These shoots of young wood are the fruit wood for next year. Thre is never a scarcity of blossom nor of fruit with berries. The weather has been favorable for the perfection of fruit in the interior. They must have abundance of water frequently to get the best results. Watch the few exceedingly hot days that usually come when the fruit is about the height of the season. Water freely then or the crop will will be seriously curtaild. Irrigate at least once week when fruit is ripening freely. This makes large fine fruit. They must be picked twice a week to prevent over-ripeness,
 Strawberries, when settled down to bearing, do not need much trimming. Water is necessary about twice week in fruit time. The ground should at all times should be kept moist.-Cal- ifornia Cultivator.
 Crop Outlook
 The orange crop outlook is still en- couraging, but progresses very slowly. although some of it has reached the stage in which it is reasonably sure to come to maturity. There can hard ly be any doubt but that the total will exceed the season just passed. De- ciduous fruits are somewhat disap- pointing. The trees themselves are not as fourishing as they might be They seem to be hesitating whether to put on a full covering of green or

SCHOOL Nores.

The pleasant weather and the rapid
blossomiDg Of the flowers prompted the
juniors and sophomores to take an
outing. Accordingly Monday after
noon the pleasant party started from
the school building, being ultimately
overtaken by two carriages for the
tired ones. After a refreshing rest at
the falls, the botanists gathered a few
flowers and engaged in various amuse-
ments. After the party was thorough.
~ tired out a hearty supper was pre-
pared by the girls. But when the
fruit was ready for mastication it was
found to be decidedly absent. Further
investigation showed it to be taking q
rapid transit over the falls from n
boys hands to another, and after
solemn petition by Miss Cunningham,
it was returned. The party duly set
out for home and kindred, gathering
flowers on the wayside and signing
over headaches and numerous other
cares. After q pleasant ~ walk the
party entered the city limits and dis
persed to their many homes to dream
of the apple blossoms, purple pump
kins and other ridiculous things. The
opinion, that much is gained by ma
