with every acre purchased is decided
one share of water, thus insuring a
permanent supply of pure soft noun
tain water, both for domestic and ir-
rigating purposes.
With a perfect soil and unlimited
water it is no wonder that oranges,
lemons, nuts, olives, berries, vegetables
and alfalfa are grown with such re-
markable success. Montebello products
are yielding handsome incomes, an
ideal spot for the small farmer or the
chicken rancher.
The Montebello tract is dotted with
ninety odd homes all owned by happy
and prosperous people.
Howard & Smith of Los Angeles have
built one of Southern Californias most
extensive nurseries at Montebello
covering twenty-five acres. They have
one hothouse alone which covers ovel
three acres, and their hothouses con-
tain almost every plant and flower
grown under the sun.
The Salt Lake railroad will build a
new depot at Montebello station.

TO $25, 900 each, and find places in the
fIan
Goulds, Spreckels and others. The or
chestrians include every known instru-
ment and produce the highest class of
music.
The upper floors are accessible by
rapid elevator device. On the second
floor is the double department for
Steinway and Kranich-Bach pianos;
on the third floor will be found the
Sicilian piano playing instruments and
all seIf-playing pianos; also the Kurtz-

ABANDONING USE OF MEAT
Consumption of Fruits and Vegs-
tables Is on the Increase IN
This Country.

Striking though the decline In meat
consumption as shown by the census
report is, none of us will take It as
evidence that we eat less generously
than our ancestors Indeed, says Pear
sons Magazine, Americans as peo-
pie never Jared better in food than
they do to-day. TO make up for the
decreased meat diet there is but one
way to turn. Have we increased our
vegetable food--our wheat, corn. oats.
potatoes, garden vegetables, fruits.
sugar?
The census gives interesting results.
In 1850 Americans consumed 4S0 bush
els of wheat for each 100 persons; in
1900, 623 bushels-a very marked rise.
Corn and potatoes give very similar
percentages of increase. But the most
surprising change is in the consump-
ton of oats, presumably on account OF
the improved methods OF the manufac-
ture of oatmeal; 80 bushels in 1850
to 1856 bushels in 1900--over fourfold
In 40 years. During the last decade
however, the consumption of oatmeal
has lost ground relatively, dropping
to 361 bushels for each 100 persons
This decrease is probably due to the
substitution Of other cereals" and
breakfast" foods, which have In some
families wholly taken the place Of oat-
meal.
Now take the market garden prod
uct, fruits and sugars. Anyone who
will stop to think OF the present day
grocery store with its rows upon rows
OF inviting canned goods-tomatoes
corn, peas, beans and all manner Of
fruits-and of the excellent displays
Of green vegetables and fresh fruits
from huckleberries to watermelons.
will find himself convinced OF the i'm
portant part these foods play in our
common diet. And then our candy
item, our preserves item; no one
whose memory can supply a compari-
son OF the candy stores Of 80 years
ago with those of to-day can fail to
be impressed with the increase OF
sugar consumption. Here. indeed the
figures tell striking story In 1850
ShSh iAAuAlJ "Olhdl anu Cullu III AUleI-
lea ate % pounds of sugar in 1900
60 pounds of sugar. And In the %
years since 1880 the consumption Of
market garden products and fruits has
increased more than threefold.
And here Is another interesting
point: Ten years ago potatoes out
ranked market garden products more
than two to one. The last census puts
them in the opposite relation. potatoes
falling behind by nearly 10000 600
One of the most striking features OF
this increased eating of market gar
den products is indicated by the re-
markable increase of land covered by
glass to supply our modern bills OF
fare with early and late green stun "
1t is scarcely dozen years since this
increase began its expansion and yet
the census of 1900 reports over 300
acres OF land covered with glass in
New York state alone and nearly as
much in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, with over 200 acres each in ILL
nois and Massachusetts.

BOTTLE GUN SHOOTS OIL.
Invention Of a Brazilian Admiral TO
smooth the Surface OF
the Ocean.

While the process of Quieting the
troubled waters by scattering oil on
the surface has been known and prac-
ticed for a long time, there are con-
stantly new means being devised for
the application OF the oil. The latest
thing of this character is the bottle
gun" which has been invented by
Vice Admiral Guimares. Of the Brazil
ian navy. who proposes to scatter oil
on the water ahead of the boat by its
means.
The gun is a handy little piece
mounted on pivot carriage. which
is bolted down to the deck, so that
there is no recoil. It is made OF
bronze, but the chamber at the breech
which contains the propelling charge
is of steel. The charge, in a brass
central-fire cylinder, is loaded into the
gun from the rear, as il is a breech-
loading piece, with an interrupted
screw plug to close It,
The bore of the gun is Of much
greater diameter than the powder
chamber, and the projectile, which is
nothing more than an ordinary wine
bottle filled with sawdust STEPPED in
oil, is entered at the muzzle and
rammed home. The advantage Of this
is obvious, since there would never
be any difficulty in providing a sup
ply Of these fragile projectiles.
When the gun is discharged the bot
tie Is, of course, broken, and with its
contents scattered over the water for
considerable distance. II fired
ahead, to form smooth pathway for
the advancing vessel, it requires TO be
discharged every five minutes, but II
the vessel is stationary or lying to one
round every 20 minutes is said TO be
sufficient
