 The removal of Supervisor Emer- son Gee from Santa Cruz county makes vacancy on the board of supervisors which should be imme- diately filled. In this connection TIE OASIS voices public sentiment in saving that Captain l.. w. Mix is looked upon as the man who ought to be put into the place.

 The candidacy of Captain Mix, Doctor Doherty, John Dessart and George B. Marsh for town trustees is generally commended, and there is no objection to J. K. Nolan as a candidate for streetsuperintendent; but there are decided objections to the other four named on the ticket which has been put up, and those objections are being voiced all around.

 MT. Earl Griswold is being urged by many citizens to announce him self as candidate for the town clerkship. The gentleman is cap able and efficient, and would make a formidable candidate.

To get the best prices for eggs one
must not buy them to sell. but must
have enough hens to supply the de-
mand. All eggs should be collected
daily and should not be allowed to
remain unsold over twenty-four
hours. No stale nest-eggs should be
used, and every precaution must be
taken that each customer may never
be disappointed. When the conf
dence of customers is secured the
matter of good prices will be settled,
as the majority of persons are will
ing to pay an extra price when they
know that the eggs purchased are
fresh. As one can make a specially
of supplying fresh eggs unless he
carefully avoids those eggs found in
stolen nests or in out-of-the-way
Places The reputation for supplying
choice fresh eggs must be made and
no mistakes must occur at any time,
as a single bad egg will deteriorate
the whole in value. Those who pay
extra high prices are, not always
judges of the quality of eggs, but
they have faith and reliance in hin
who supplies them.-Feather.

Those who have failed TO secure
satisfactory results from feeding
wheat to cattle or horses, should try
grinding coarselyt or crushing the
grain. Wheat, being small grain.
much more of it passes through tho
animal undigested, for the outer coat
ing protects the grain from the ac-
ton of the digestion ferments, so
that unless the grain is crushed or
broken, it is not digested. Grinding
is especially necessary when feeding
wheat to cattle; whether beef steers
or milk cows, or any other. Hogs,
sheep and goats, however, masticate
their food much better, and any gain
from grinding wheat for them will
not pay for the grinding. Wheat
should be fed in combination with
some other grain. on account OF the
liability of the gluten Of the wheat
to form gummy mass. interfering
with mastication. Mixed with corn,
oats, kaffir corn, or other grains, this
trouble is done away with.-Farm and

of the privilege OF eating eggs, ~
chickens. Think Of the innumerable
forms in which eggs are presented TO
the appetite, and then consider what
it would mean if there should sud-
denly be inaugurated total egg
famine. This merely illustrates one
of the important features of the
poultry Industry. A hen is not 10 be
compared, in value or Importance. to
q cow, but to get just view Of the
matter compare the cow with flock
of hens. The cow will give 900 gal.
Ions of milk worth $225. The 20s
hens will produce 1000 dozen eggs,
worth $500. The COW should be cred
tied with a calf each year. The 200
hens can easily, in addition to the
1000 dozen. lay eggs enough to re-
produce their number, and an enal
number of male birds, worth Mt least
$50, and do the Matching besides. If
the hens will not average E1s5 eggs
per year, cows do not average 300 gal
Ions of milk. So we think our esti-
mate about fair one. 1t is the inn
mense number of fowls, and the irl-
mense number of people who raise
them, and the importance of fowls
and eggs consumed by the people,
that give to poultry. its importance as
an indutry.-Farm and Ranch.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Proper Fertflixing for COttona 4
Largely . Matter of Soil
and Conditions.

One of the most difficult problems
with which southern farmers have
had to wrestle, is that of proper fer
.tilizing for cotton. On. Texas black
lands with alternate plots fertilized
and unfertiIized, the unfertiIized have
usually given the best results. On
sandy loans, heavy applications of
nitrogenous manures have given too
much weed without correspond
ing yield of lint and seed. and yet on
our river bottom lands, rich in humus,
the cotton plant frequently grows
eight to nine feet high and Yields
from $50 TO 1000 pounds of lint cotton
per acre. Here we have a heavy
yield and great growth of weed are
not incompatible, but under proper
conditions of soil and good cultiva-
ton the ''weedy" growth is necessary
to a large yield of cotton The writer
had seven acres Of sandy loan that
had been a sheep pen, or series OF
pens. For ~ years this ground was
planted alternately with cotton and
corn. The first year the cotton was
left IS inches apart in kour-foot rows.
The result was an impenetrable thick
ct and not 500 pounds of seed cotton
on the seven acres. Afterwards, il
was planted in six-foot rows and
thinned to four feet, and the aver
age yield of Ave years (covering a
period OF IL years) was SIS pounds Of
lint, and not q pound of additional
fertilizer was used. The same land
also averaged ~ bushels of corn for
the six alternate years. There is
something more in this matter Of
fertilization for cotton than the
character and quantity of the fer
tilizer. In one respect cotton differs
from most staple crops, because the
more fertile the soil, the greater dis.
tance the plants must have 1t is the
reverse in the case of corn.-Texas

what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
To the Editor of the Leader:
'lrhe rush Of the land seekers viii
be TO the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements OF
q soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had a
good thing and they stuck it. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fair& presided over by. one of their
abTeft Immigration officers. This gen.
tleman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
Of the soil from morning to night to
all comers.
IAN this told in the long run. Sew.
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and. like Caleb, the son of Jepun-
neh, and Joshua, the son Of Nun
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in q
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others arc pre-
pairing to follow. OF course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes fol
the Union Jack. but patriotism is bu,
. nomenclature after all, and our ex
perience has been that in nine hun.
dred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand, man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates"
