SOME GooDcRops.
what These Men Have Done OtheE
Southern Farmers Can Do
IL They Will.

The editor took little run down 10
Pomona, Ca, last week to see the gar
den and farm Of Messrs. Wayman and
Riegel. They have one of the best
truck farms in the state. They are
finished gardeners, and know how to
do work exactly right, which is GER
tainIy q great accomplishment. II
there Is one man whom honor more
than another, it is the man who knows
how to DO some one thing we'll
We can not tell of all we saw. but
we want to mention few facts that
should stand out with unusual clear
ness. First, they have an acre in
Strawberries, that will yield 1000 or
5000 quarts. The plants cover a, solid
space two and half feet wide, so that
you can not see the ground. They were
white with blooms and loaded with
fruit in all stages, from bloom to ripe
fruit They have an acre in cabbage.
set out 1Sx16 inches, not missing .
hill and covering the ground. They
put 1000 pounds high-grade guano
upon this acre, and several tons OF ma
nure. They irrigate 1t every week that
it does not rain. The field requires
no work, as the cabbage shades the
ground, thus preventing the growth Of
weeds and also preventing the soil
from baking. Last year they raised
80, 900 pounds of hard head cabbage
upon one acre.
Mr. Riegel and Mr.. Waymanf are
great believers in vetch and grain.
They have an acre in vetch and wheat
about four feet high, and as thick as
It can grow. We are satisfied they
will make 5000 pounds of forage from
this cutting. and they expect to get
equally as large a yield Of peavines
and sorghum as their second crop.
This is what we call farming. Just
below this acre Of wheat and vetch is
an acre of oats that will make 100
bushels. They sowed five bushels Of
seed upon the acre, and they we're q
foot high on April &c, though sown IL
spring. We never saw better grain.
What has been done, can be done
again. go thou and do likewiset"
and We are going to do it next year.

time with himself before he can get
his consent to pay for one animal the
price for which he has been accus-
toned to selling four of his scrubs for.
Usually the first thoroughbred sire
used and possibly purchased at the
seemingly exorbitant price of 500,
looks very much more extravagant and
unreasonable within than $500 or $500
will few years later in his career as
breeder.
Naturally, a man who invests, for
the first time, 500 or $3.50 in a single
animal IS anxious for quick results.
He is apt to get impatient. and if there
happens to be a decline in the cattle
market, becomes discouraged and neg
lects his animals at the very time when
an older and experienced breeder
would be giving his cattle more than
ordinary care, in order to make up in
quality The difference in price between
ordinary and prime cattle. Every
business has its fluctuations, and while
inflated prices attract spectators and
tempt boomers, the man who succeeds
In cattle breeding Is the man who has
a natural love for it-can look beyond
present conditions. and will stick
closer to thoroughbred bulls, making
the improvement of his cattle the prin-
cipal object He stands no possible
chance to lose and every chance to
win. But there is another thing the
young beginner must make up his
mind to, even before he decides to
purchase a thoroughbred, and that is
to feed and care for him. 1t is often
the case that most promising animals
are bought and have the misfortune of
falling into the hands of someone
whose interest wears out in short
time, and for the lack Of proper at.
tention degenerates, and in a few
years their descendants can not be dis
tinguished from the scrubs that sur
round them. An animal that is worth
owning is worth caring for. Good blood
is wonderfully prepotent, but good
blood can not accomplish the desired
results without feed and attention. and
the breeder who expects to treat his
thoroughbred cattle as he does his
scrubs and feed them on scrub rations
had better stick to breeding scrubs,
for in this case he has nothing to lose
and nothing to gain, whereas il they
were thoroughbreds he would have
much to lose and would gain nothing.
Neither can the farmer who purchases
a thoroughbred bull expect the best
results from mating him with half
starved scrub COW. Calves from COM
mon cows by a good pure-bred sire
will be, If the COW is of average size
and in thrifty condition, worth fifty
per cent more at six months OF age
than If sired by scrub bull; but it
could not be expected for a starved
animal to do so well.

names BEST DOCTOR
MIR. BAYss0H PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.


A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries Of Indigestion.
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
canse their food docs not digest, but how
to get rid Of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from .
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'm my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. As the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which / learned from
friends in France, / have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but II 1t had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely q question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 24S9 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one Of q great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
Of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain or
burning In the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, OF any Of the other
miseries Of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and q
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat," may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to tho
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.

The first advantage to the farmer

The dairy farmer is less dependent
upon the season for his product than
any other class OF agriculturist. Too

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION
Biennial Convention Of Conductors
Ask Congress Not to Pass Ad-
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention of the
Order Of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
1900, 900 railroad employees, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret re-
bates and other illegalities, and com.
mend the attitude Of the heads of
American Railways, who, with prac-
teal unanimity, have Joined with
the President on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the individuality of legisls
ton vestfng in the hands of q COM
mission power over railway rates. now
lower by far In the United States than
In any other country" because such
regulation would result In litigation
and confusion and inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction in rates, ire
spective of the question Of the ability
Of the railroads to stand the reduction.
especially In view Of the increased cost
Of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
islation is not in harmony with our
idea Of American Jurisprudence. mas
much as 1t contemplates that q single
body shall have the right to investi-
gate, indict, try, condemn and then
enforce its decisions at the cost of the
carriers, pending appeal, which is
manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation II any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost OF transportation lis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and de-
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes In contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates of this country average only two
per cent. OF the cost of articles to the
consumer. thus making the freight
rate so Insignificant factor In the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price in
eli parts of the country"

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
No Deficit Expected in Treasury This
Hear-President's Callers.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Among the
subjects discussed by the President with
some of his callers, today, WAS the
probable condition of the treasury at
the end of the current fiscal year. 1t is
the concensuS of opinion among SEN
ators and representatives. who have
talked to the President about the mat
ter that the deficit in the treasury this
year. if any at all. should appear. will
be small, as indicated by increased
revenues of the treasury during the
past three or four months.
Among the callers on the President
were Senator Hale of Maine; Senator
non.
Senator Hale. when asked about the
condition of the treasury said:
~ doubt whether there will be a de-
tcit, this year. At all events if there
should be it will be small, judging from
the present outlook. Consequently
there will be no need for legislation
providing for additional revenues
Senator Burrows expressed similr
opinion.
Representative McCleary. who is
talked of as the possible chairman OF
the House Committee on apcropria-
tons, expressed no concern about the
condition of the treasury. this year. He
suggested any deficit might be provid-
ed for easily by the imposition of a
tax of two or three cents Z pound on
coffee.
"Such a tax" said he, would be no
hardship to the consumer and probably
would not naturally raise the price OF
coffee.

LORD CURZoN RESIGNED
Post in India In Defense of Principals,
Not on Personal Grounds.

Bombay. India, Nov. 1G.-At Il banquet
given in his honor here. today. Lord Cur
Zon of EcdleStOn. the retiring Viceroy of
India made Il frank avowal Of the rcaS-
onS Tor his resignation. Beginning with
the declaration that he considered the of :
fee of viceroy the nGbest in the gift of
the British nation and that it ought to
be looked upon as a prize to be awarded
only to its greatest statesmen, he said
it could not be supposed that he would
without the strongest reasons resign po-
siton which had been the dream of his
childhood and the ambition of his man
hood.
He resigned he said. on no personal
grounds. hut in defence of two principles:
First. that there should be an indie
structIblc Subcrdination OF the military to
tho civil authority.
Second. the NJ cessity OF paving becom-
ing regard to the Indian authority in de-
ternining the needs of India.
Lord Curzon eontcnded that in sacrifice
ing himself in defence of these principles
he had the great prepOnderance of Indian
opinion behind him and predicted that
should the day ever come when the vice
roy would be treated as the mere puppet
of the home government the Justification
for the post would cease to exist.
He said that he did not believe that the
administration wisdom of his countrymen
would ever tolerate such a blunder.
