and Republican politics, was long
chairman of the Republican State
Committee and several times refused
the nomination for Governor when the
election was certain, preferring to keep
out of office. He was president for
years of the Oakland Savings Bank
and was helpful in every way to those

He was a millionaire. He used his
money to open up new avenues of in
dustry all over the State. Besides the
famous men mentioned, D. 0. Mills,
Claus Spreckels and Mark Hopkins

which these men faced were hard and
the fruits which came to them We're
only produced by years Of self-sa crfice

adverse circumstances enabled them to
enjoy life's sweets.
When Colonel Requa settled in Oak
land he selected Piedmont Heights,
with splendid view Of San Francis
co and the Golden Gate, as an ideal
spot. He built q mansion and called
it and the estate Of twenty acres which
surrounded it Highlands For twenty
seven years it was a seat of hospital
ity and rare domestic enjoyment Pa
rents, children and servants lived in
tranquil happiness and visitors came
from afar to experience its delights.
He was an ideal host-tall, of fine
presence, we'll proportional, with a
face denoting firmness, generosity and
frankness. All philanthropic work of
his section found in him a supporter
and he contributed to the endeayors of
the Red Cross Society.
In religion Colonel Requa was an
Episcopalian. He was a firm sup
porter Of Masonry and had been a
Knight Templar many years. He was
a member of the prominent clubs of
the Pacific coast. He married Miss

To Kin Coddling Moth.

William III. Volck, of the University
of California, recommends arsenate Of
lead as remedy for the coddling
moth instead of paris green, which is
particularly unsuited for use on the
Pacific coast, because of the climate.
Prof Volck has estimated that con-
scientious work with lead arsenate
may be expected to yield a control In
the neighborhood of 95 to 90 per cent
The chemical Will cost nearly twice as
much as paris green for the same or
chards, but even with this added eX-
pense, he declares that the spraying
will prove a profitable investment.
There have been figured out nine nec-
essary sprayings during the season,
including combinations of overshot,
undershot and inside sprayings. The
cost of material and labor per tree
has been estimated at 35 cents as the
outside figure, and Prof. Volck says
that, even at this high price, 1t will
amount to not more than half the net
returns on box of sound apples.

A SCOTS ADVENTURE.
Romantic Career of kaid Harry Mac
lean In Morocco.

Romantic Career of Kaid Harry Mac
lean In Morocco.
Sir Harry Aubrey de We're Maclean,
to give him full English title, who,
after serving as a British soldier, re-
signed from the British army in 1876
to be a Moor, is now leaving his beau
tiful palace in Morocco and returning
to England. A keen, clever Scotsman,
says a writer in the Daily Express, in
Moorish dress; a man rather short Of
stature, gifted with commanding abil-
ity and great courage-such is Kaid
Maclean, late commandments of
the grand army of the Sultan Of Mo
rocco. Something over a quarter of a
century ago the young Scotsman, be-
ing on duty in Gibraltar, took jaunt
across to Morocco. At the instance Of
the late Sir John Drummond Hay, then
British minister at the court Of the
Sultan, he was offered the post of mus
kerry instructor to the Moorish army.
Being a Scotsman, and therefore, far
seeing, he "grasped the skirts Of happy
chance" and took the post.
He taught the Moors how to shoot
and as master of military things in a
country where the problem Of defense
is of immense Importance, very few
years found him standing close to the
throne itself. Then as a high honor
and as a fitting recognition of the great
services he had rendered to the ma
ton the Sultan made him a kaid. A
soldier, a royal adviser, an army adj
minstrator, he soon became a diplomat.
And now and then he would put on,
with a growing feeling Of strangeness
mayhap, an English suit of clothes
and would come over ana would make
a stay at Brighton and visit the Off
Gals at Downing street. Then back
across the sea, once more Morocco
bound.
OF course, like most successful men,
he was a constant victim of jealousy.
But all the moves on the continental
chess-board failed to break the conf
dence his imperial master had in him.
AS illustra tons of his endurance and
resources it may be mentioned that he
has often been in the saddle nineteen
hours out of the twenty-four and that
when he lost the use of his right eye
he made himself a dead shot from the
left shoulder. He has long had the
title of ''the best interpreter In Moroc-
co. and he has favorably impressed
the Sultan With English ideas and di-
plomacy.

High Butter Average.

We notice in dairy exchange a
statement to the effect that the aver
age production of butter per cow in
Holland last year was 400 pounds. The
statement may be correct and :. may
not. We cannot help feeling that it is
little too high to figure as an aver
age. The average production Of but
ter by the cows Of any country Is gen
orally very far below good average,
Cows that will produce butter-fat to
make 400 pounds Of butter per year
are very scarce in this country, and we
assume they are somewhat scarce in
every country
There is no doubt that the butter
average viii some day be brought up
to that point. 1t is q standard worth
working for, and the nation that can
attain it will be rich. BY dropping out
the poor cows and getting better ones
constantly, the average will in time
be brought up to a point where dairy
ing will be profitable both for the in
dividual dairyman and for the nation.
AS the world advances in civiliza-
ton more products Of the dairy COW
will be used. The demand for cream
Is greatly on the increase in our West
ern cities and the dairymen that have
a good cream trade find it far more
profitable to sell their butter fat in
that way than in any other. This is
an inducement to raise the standard
OF production.
The man that gets down to the
point Of finding out what the average
production of his dairy cows is takes
the first steps to increase that aver
age. He can mark this COW and that
COW for the slaughter as soon as her
milk yield reaches the point in it's
decline where cost and receipts are
approximately the same. There are
good cows being slaughtered annually
and these should be saved and added
to our dairy herds.

Chickens in the Garden.

Under some conditions chickens may
be permitted to have the run of the
vegetable garden and will do but little
harm until they are half grown. They
will scratch more or less. but after the
plants are well started the scratching
will do little harm. The chicks will
consume vast quantities of insects and
save many plants that would other
wise be eaten by the insects. 1t is
not a good plan, however, to turn
chicks into the vegetable garden unless
they are fed regular rations, and also
have an opportunity to get green food
in other places, for they will probably
tear at the plants and destroy more or
less. If one will watch the chicks it
is entirely safe to give them an hour
or more daily in the vegetable garden
In that time they will hunt out and eat
more insects than one could gather in
half a day Turn them in after they
have had the morning feed, and they
will do little or no harm.

THE VANDALS.

Down beyond the garden wall
They have cut down the maple tree
But they who cut it cannot know
The loss TO you and me.
They think to build themselves a house
Where long our tree has stood
Our tree that was house of leaves,
Fairer than house of wood.
Will they see the wondrous sights we
saw,
From their windows made of glass p
The winged clouds, the marching sun,
The Scholarships that pass?
We saw the Spring come up the land,
The Autumn's flags flung out;
We felt the South Wind kiss our hair,
And answered the West Winds shout
Cheir house of wood will higher be
Than our tree-house in the air;
Yet they will not live so near the sky,
Nor see what we saw there!

Mulching Trees with Grass.

In some parts of the country or
chardists are following the practice Of
leaving the orchard in sod and mulch
ing with the grass that grows On the
sod. That is, if the sod be blue grass
the grass is allowed to grow to a GER
tain height say to a foot, and is then
cut and allowed to lie under the trees
and rot or dry up, as tbs case may be.
The idea Of the orchardist is to keep
all the fertility in the soil except what
the fruit takes out.
We fail to see the wisdom of follow
ing this course. If the orchard is left
in sod and the grass moved why not
take the grass off and feed it to stock
and thus get the good Of the carbon
that is in it. There are certain parts
of plants that do not get back into the
soil at all. The grass is worth more to
feed than for manure If the grass
We're made into hay and the hay sold
the price realized would bring back to
the orchard a much greater bulk than
would the rotting of the grass.
We have seen timothy growing in
orchards, and within a mile timothy
hay was selling for so a ton. Barn
yard manure could be bought within
the same distance at dollar a load,
delivered. The yield of timothy In the
orchard was at least ton to the acre.
The farmer had his help. which
worked the year round, and the MAX
ing and marketing Of the hay would
cost no more than if it We're not mar
keted. In this case the farmer moved
his orchard, made the timothy into
hay, fed 1t to his cows and put the
manure back on his land. Another
year he did the same with the clover
that was growing on the same orchard
area. We are little doubtful about
the expediency Of moving land
around the trees and letting the grass
rot
In some cases, too, we have seen
trees so far apart that the grass, in
stead of rotting, would dry up and go
into the air In large part during the
hot days of summer. If there is any
good reason for following the practice
of mulching with grass. as it Is called,
we would like to hear from some of
our readers OH the matter.

Line Breeding.

Line breeding is another term for
inbreeding, not haphazard, but sclen-
tific inbreeding. says D. ]. Coyne, Jr.,
in Commercial Poultry. For example,
a breeder starts with trio or pen
of unrelated or distantiy related birds.
The next season he must not mate
their progeny alone, for that would be
dangerous inbreeding brothers ana
sisters-and the stock is all young.
Experience has taught us that such a
mating produces infer5ile eggs and
young stock lacking in vitality. The
proper matings are to mate the cock
