Everybody hopes that all will be
well, but if Mr.. Roosevelt will study
the life and character Of Andrew
Johnson, and what happened to him,
he may learn something to his adj
vantage. Johnson attempted to
carry out LincOln's reconstruction
policy, but WAS opposed by both
Houses of Congress. Had he pos
sesscd the patience, torbcarance and
tact ofhis great predecessor he might
have saved fragment, or more, Of
Iincoln's scheme. At least he would
have saved his reputation as 4 aga
cious statesman and earned an hon
orablc place among American prcsi-
dents. IfMr. Roosevelt will exercise
a largc-mindcd tact and give less
play to an egotistic wllltulncss, he
may escape the pcrils which depriv-
ed Johnson of all his great force and
left him frientlless and discredited.

business on by Il Corning
dcntist-n few days ago. The doe

feet wide and 30 feet long, enclosed
with, and divided off in four pens
with fine poultry netting; in one
pen he has about Il dozen mountain
quaiIs-thc handsOmcst quails |

MOngolian, Oregon and perhaps
English pheasants-about 30 beau
tiful birds. He breeds them for
sale, and sells them at $50 pair.
The quails he has just caught this
winter and thinks he can breed
them. He is now negotiating for
some Kansas quails Dob Whites)
known rs Virginia quail. suppose
most of your readers, that attended
the st. Louis Exposition and visit
ed the big bird cage know that the
California quail IS quite Il different
bird from the Virginia or Missouri
quail. They are different in color
and form and have little tuft of
feathers on top of the head. The
valley quails here can't "bob-white"
Another peculiarity, they roost up
in trees (when they can find them)
like chickens or turkeys. But the
mountain quails of California are
quite different from the valley birds
and much prettier.
But the lark, the old meadow
lark, similar to the Missouri lark is
the most plentiful of all birds; his
glad and cheerful notes (Don't it
cause something to kind o fill up
your thoat?--ED.) can be heard
here morning, noon and far into
the night, almost any time. Cali
fornia might be called the land of
the larlxs.
We have just been having little
California winter for the last few
days, but quite different from the
Missouri kind. Mercury marked
about 30 or 81; sharp frost and q
little skim of ice on still, shallow
pools of water. Nothing freezes

covered with snow most of the sea-
son and several times this winter
the whole mountain chain has been

There is Swcde here that has
made quite Il success of turkey rails
ing, who last summer leased 240
acres three miles from Corning for
a poultry plant and has several 800
egg incubatOrs. The last | heard
from his ranch he had about 1000
chickens hatched and by spring eX-
pected to have 25,000 young
chickens.
But over at Pefafuma, in Sono-
ma county, 30 miles north of San
Francisco is the largest poultry
plant in California, if not in the
United States. Frisco" is said to
be the best egg market in the Unit
ed States. I have no report OF the
product of chickens and eggs of
Petaluma for 1904. But here is The
statement the Petaluma Weekly
Poultry Journal made July 21, 1904,
for the "output" Of 1908.
(The statement gives the figures
for each month, but to save space
we give the totals, only.-ED)
The total egg product is 3,407 1874
dozen; and the figures given for
the poultry is 32,535 dozen.
The Must Hatch Incubator com
pany of Petaluma say the average
price there for 1908 was 2S cents n
dozen for eggs; so you can figure
up what the Petalumatts got for
their eggs in 1908; $50 eggs to the
hen and 75c to 81 per hen to buy
all feed.

county of the state.
This is or has been an ideal place
for sheep; here in the Sacramento
valley from October to April is the
summer season so far ;ts pasture is
: concerned. As soon as the rainy,
season begins (Scptcmhcr u last
year) wild oats. the wild grasses
and clover spring up and commence
growth and make fine pasture until
| April. There are some large iocks
of sheep Il few miles back from Cor
ming. They are herdcd in the val
ley during the rainy season and are
taken up in the foot hills and herd
ed during the dry season and i'll this
way no grain is required, and wool
can be raised very cheaply.
One man I or : miles south of
town has about 100 COWS and man
ufacturcs cheese. His cheese is on
! the market here all the time and
usually sells at Is cents per pound.
The New York cheese is here, too,
and sells at about Is cents.
There are some men here that
make bee culture quite speciality,
and one can always find plenty of
honey IN the local market, in the
comb usually, at 10 to u cents per
pound.
The chicken industry is getting
to be quite al important business
in and around Corning. One young
fellow, 4 boy Of 16, living here in
town commenced Il year or so ago
with a 50-egg incubator; he has 50
laying hens, and now has Il 500-ccg
incubator and has probably 500
young chickens. With brooder,
house and runs, chickens can be
raised here all "wintcr,' in fact,
poultry can be kept i'll California
cheaper in winter than in summer,
for there is more green food, and
insects in winter.
One man from New York, mile
southwest of town mas been in the
chicken business two or three years
and commenced with $50 White
Lcghorns q might say the White
Leghorn is the principal chicken in
California; last spring, also Il few
Buff Orpingtons. Here is Il sum !
mary of results hc' gives in Il Cor !
ming paper few days ago. Iwould |
say most all poultry men IN Cali
fornia buy all or nearly all their
feed. This man says he got from
the $50 White Lcghorns during
1904, 22,514 eggs, or about 125 eggs
to the hen, at 25c per dozen, this is
an average of $3.50 for each hen
and a total for the $50 hens OfS468
A pen of 8 Orpingtons, he says,
laid 1875 eggs during 1904, an aver
age to the hen of 1898 eggs, or
13i dozen at 25c per dozen, an av-
eragc of 1929 per hen or s26.50 |
for the 8 hens. He says the aver
age price received for eggs was 263 |
cents. But l might say that this |
man sells some eggs, for Matching !
purposes, above the market price.
