THEY PAY THE BILLS.

In several localities of Los Angeles
county it has been found necessary to
compel orchardists to disinfect their
orchards. Cases have occurred where
the property owners paid no attention
to circumstances, and neglected to rec
ognize legal notice to clean up their
premises In these instances the law
has been followed and a careful record
made of the proceedings. The COM
missioners have taken charge of the
work of compulsory fumigation, and
the supervisors have paid the bills up
on the recommendation of the commits
sion and directed the district attorney
to collect the accounts by law, if neces-
sary. From present indications no
compulsion will be necessary, as the
property owners are paying the bills
without delay. The public is con
cerned in these transactions, for it is
public money that is applied for the
payment of this enforced fumigation
and it is assuring to know that the
county treasury will receive back every
cent it has paid out on account of
these delinquent orchardists. The SUI
pervisors are aiding the horticultural
Commission in every way and feel as
sured that every case of distinction
done by the county will be followed up
and the money collected to satisfy the
accounts. There are few cases where
the owners would prefer to have their
decrepit orchards uprooted, rather than
bear the expense of fumigation and
this will be done without expense to
the public treasury. - Los Angeles

TIE puAL PURPOSE COW.

The discussion between the advocates
of the dual-purposc and specialpurpose
cattle has become decidedly acrimonious
in some of the Eastern agricultural pa
pers of late There are many discus
sions of agricultural problems which
serve useful purpose, even when they
become bitter, but we do not see that
very much good is resulting from this
particular discussion. The real question
as to which kind of cattle will pay him
best must be solved by every farmer for
himself. There is no one kind or breed
of cattle best and most profitable for
everybody and under all circumstances
If man is dairying and expects to make
the business pay, he must know, regard

DEHoRNING CALVES.

The practice of dehorning cattle is
growing, and many claim it has proved
a benefit, as not only are the polled ami
mails gentler in temper, and less likely
to be dangerous than those with horns,
but dairy cows are found better mixers
also. The dehorning of older animals by
such means as the saw or the clippers
has, however, so much the appearance of
cruelty, that many experiments have
been made in order to discover really
humane method One of these has been
made at the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton. The results of these show that the
simplest and most humane way of de-
stroying the horns of animals is to pre-
vent them from developing when the ami
mails are young. This can be done by the
use of caustic potash, which can be
bought of any druggist in the form of
white sticks. The method of applying
this is very simple. The hair is clipped
away from the young horn, so that the

the parts to be treated. The stick of
potash is rolled up in piece of paper,
so as to leave one end open. This open
end is slightly moistened and rubbed on
the embryo horn for few seconds, or
until the skin begins to start, care being
taken that the whole of the border, or
matrix, is included in the treatment.
Healing soon followed this treatment,
and smooth polls resulted in every case.
1t was found that the best time to APP
ply the treatment was when the calf was
from three to ten days old, although the
treatment was efiectual when the cali
was eighteen days old.

HOW TO ROAST A TURKEY.

'Ninety-nine women out of every 100,
ninety-nine cooks out of every 100 will
bake turkey with the back to the pan,
said a New Orleans man who keeps in
touch with the kitchen, "and this is a
mistake. l said ninety-nine out OF every
100. Rather should l have said that
the mistake is almost universally made
But few cooks ever think of cooking the
turkey the other way. There seems To
be a demand for well-browned turkey
breast. But in browning the breast they
sacrifice the sweetness of this part OF
the fowl. The best way to prepare a
turkey is to bake it with the breast down
| learned this lesson from Nine. Begue
whose place down in the old quarter,
near the French market, has become
famed all over the country. She never
thinks of baking turkey with the breast
up. The breast is turned TO the bottom
OF the pan, and instead of being dry and
tasteless when it is served is richly
favored and as sweet and juicy as one
would care to have it. You see all
the fine ilayoring of the turkey, the
juice OF the dressing and all daintier
touches flow down toward the breast of
the fowl, and when the white meat is
served you get the full benefit of every
flavor added during the processes of pre-
pairing and baking the turkey, in ad-
dition to the distinctive taste of the fowl
itself
announcement and awkward? Not at
all. 1t is just as easy to cook a turkey
in this way as in any other way, and
the result is indefinitely more satisfac-
tory. 1t is no trouble TO arrange the fowl
in the pan; if you desire to place the
fowl ON the table before carving it you
will find that it will look quite as well
as it would if baked in the usual way,
and certainly it will taste much bet
ten than it would if you baked the breast
until it was dry and flavorless." New

Is there no way to improve the meth
DDS of seed distribution, no means by
which the grain farmers may be assured
that the seed they purchase for plant
ing is free from the seed of noxious
weeds? There is an immense area Of
grain-wheat, barley and other cereals
planted every season. The industry is
immense. This season thousands of days
work have been lost in fighting imported
weed pests-all through the planting of
infected seed. The horticultural laws
do not contemplate the expenditure of
public money in the extirpation of farm
pets no matter what the justic of it may
be. As seeding time is here again some
good may be done by suggesting to the
farmers that they examine every lot of
wheat or barley seed to be planted to
prevent the introduction of these field
pests. Why not bring the microscope
into play upon samples of every seed
store in the country? Or, try plot of
seed terminated under glass, or in a
warm, sunny location? If there are any
impurities in the seed that process will
demonstrate it without the microscope.

HAIR OF THE SLOTH,
IL Il Green In Color and For a Pc
culiar Reason.

1t is very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair of
sloths. Apart from its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
peculiarly of the outer hair of the
sloth is its more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green Is very rare color
among mammals, and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development In the sloth, and, as a
matter of fact, the means by which
this colorntion Is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, 80 marvellous,
indeed, that 1t is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that It Is true.
The object of this peculiar type of
coloration is. of course. to assimllate
the animal TO Its leafy surroundings
and thus to render 1t as lnconspicuous
as possible. and when hanging In its
usual position from the underside of
bough its long. coarse and green
Hinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost lndistingulshable from the
punches of gray green lichens among
which It dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are a num-
Der OF transverse cracks. and In these
cracks grows primitive type of plant

OF INTEREST to
THE FARMERS
Helpful Suggestions To Those
Who Keep Pace With the
March of Progress.
COMING OF THE cIoADA.

DIR. l.. .. Howard, the entomologist OF
the Department of Agriculture, when
seen in regard to the report that this
country is to be visited by locust
plague next year, said:
The fulfillment of these predictions
of the entomologists are not ut all sur
prising, whatever they may seem to the
uninitiated, for we have known and cal
eulated that there will be locust plague
in 1902, just as the astronomers know
when we are To have an eclipse OF the
moon or the sun.
The family of locusts, or, rather,
eieada, are divided into periodical and
non periodical, the former having the
thirteen and seventeen year broods, ac-
cording to their periodical appearance.
In 1885, it will be remembered, the
United States was visited by a perfect
horde of the cicada, which we learned at
that time was a junction of both the
thirteen and seventeen year broods.
"The female in the beginning lays her
eggs in Sits or cracks, which she makes
by means OF sawlike instrument, in the
limbs of young nursery stock and trees.
In couple OF weeks these eggs are
Matched, and out of them come little in
sects, which appear like small ants.
These ants run swiftly along the limbs
OF the trees and then fall deliberately to
the ground and burrow their way into
the earth. 1t is here that the remarka-
bic feature of the periodical cieada is
apparent. These insects, when once in
the ground, remain in their subterranean
abodes for thirteen or seventeen years,
according to the particular brood to
which they belong. At the end of that
time they emerge-thousand and even
millions of them-and quickly swarm
over the trees and shrubbery, when their
shells part in the middle oil the back, and
out of the old covering comes the true
eicada, or locust, as it is commonly
called, although the word locust should
apply more particularly to the grass
hopper"

the calves may offset the difference in
the amount received for butter fat, but
this also is a practical question. If one
COW gives $50 worth of butter fat in
year, and another $40 worth, and the
cost OF feeding and caring for the two
cows is the same, then the calf of the
COW which gives $40 worth of butter fat
must, when it is born, be worth $40 more
than the calf of the other COW. This
statement is subject, however, to the
first cost and final selling price of the
two cows. If we assume that the COW
which produces the least butter fat will
sell for $40 more than the other one
after their term of usefulness in the
dairy is over, then it will be proper to
credit to the COW which produces the
smaller amount of butter enough for
each year-say $l.50-to make up for
the whole time the sum of $40.
When every farmer knows just what
his cows are doing for him in the way
of profits, he will be very little con-
cerned about the question whether spe-
eial-purpose or dual-purpose cattle pay
best. His cattle will be special purpose
so far as he individually is concerned,
even if the characteristics of his cows
are those which apply to the kind known
as dual purpose. The special purpose of
every farmers cows should be to make
the most money possible for him under
the system which conditions make it
practicable for him to follow to the best
