Horace Vachell, writing to his Eng
fish home of the amazing boastfulness
of the California youth, relates the fol-
lowing story: was returning from a
fishing tour in British Columbia, and
encountered a youth about seventeen
in the Pullman car, who, taking me
for tenderfoot, proceeded to set forth
at great length the resources of Cali
fornia. Presently he asked me if this
were my first visit to his state. re-
piled in the negative, saying that
lived in California, that owned land,
that I was engaged in large business.
He looked uncomfortable; then, in
quite different tone, he said:
''say, when did you come to Cali
fornia?"
It was my turn. "'You are a native

CHAPTER XII,
To Look Upward as to Star.


Three nights later Lois English sat
in the prisoners room. Weston faced
her. a few feet away. A sombrero lay
upon the floor at his feet. Upon a
chair near him was a revolver and a
belt of cartridges. 1t was his own
weapon, captured with him, and she
had brought it to him, removing it
from the gun-room of the rancho
where all of the armament was kept.
He had assured her that this three
months lapse from the strict letter of
the law was at an end and that to her
presence and influence his redemption
was wholly due. 1t was settled that
he should attempt to escape from the
rancho on that night. The task was
easy, for Glynn had made few in
quiries concerning his condition, had
not visited the sick chamber for a
week and had no idea that the wound
ed mans recovery had been SO rapid.
The smuggler was pale and his left
arm had not regained it's strength, but
there was look of returning health
in his eyes and he moved lightly and
steadily when on his feet. 1t was his
belief that, once clear of the rancho
house, he could make his way to the
river at no great distance to the west,
ford it and on the other side find
friends among the common people. 81

Varieties of Geese,

gin raising some one variety, but
find there is difference of opinion
as to which variety is the best. Which
breed is best for the production of

best growth? If someone will answer

Ordinarily farmers should not at.
tempt to be nurserymen. On most
farms it will not pay for the owner to
plant seeds for fruit trees, or bud or
graft extensively. He cannot COM
pete with the nurseryman, who de-
votes his entire life to the study of
fruit trees and how to grow them to
get the best results. The latter can
grow trees in immense quantities, and
employ as it were wholesale methods.
Nevertheless every farmer that intends
to grow fruit trees at all should
know something about the various
sciences connected with their propaga-
ton. There are very few men that
have made scientific study of bud
ding, root-grafting and top-working.
Yet every man should understand
enough of these to be able to keep his
own work we'll in hand. How can
he tell when man does a good job
at grating II he knows nothing Of the
science? How can he tell whether the
man that comes to him promising to
do great things is an amateur or an

been imposed upon very extensively by

In the Pennsylvania cattle-food mar

20 per cent of the entire. bean, of
which the United, States imports over
forty million pounds annually. These
hulls are used to a considerable ex-
tent in preparing coatings of cheap
onfectionery, and for making cheap
drink Their use as a cattle food has
been little studied. The sample re-
ceived had chocolate brown color
and the cocoa odor and flavor. 1t
contained about 1876 per cent of pro.
tein, 3.5 per cent Of fat, 1876 per cent
of fiber and 81 per cent of nitrogen
free extract. The protein sometimes
exceeds this amount. Weigmann
found it t. oe composed, to the ex-
tent Of rs to 80rper cent of true al
buminoids, though caffein and theo-
bromin, the alkaloids of the bean, are
also present. The fat is quite diges-
tible; Maercker found the protein d.
gestible to the extent of 33 to SO per
cent, much less than in ordinary
grains; the nitrogen-free extract is
probably far less valuable than that
