For Hen and chfcks,


While there are several forms Of
coops for the old hen and her chicks,
says the Indianapolis News, the one
built on the well-known lines, a full
span, is generally considered the most
desirable, although there are several
ways of improving this old affair. One
of the main troubles with the old coop
is that it was not always dry, Sc
rious defect when one considers how
harmful dampness is to young chicks.
This may be prevented as well as pre-
venting the warping of the boards If
the two strips placed across the top
are Tapped, as shown at Fig. G in the
Illustration.
Then ventilation may be supplied
by placing number of small holes
In the peak of the roof at the back
and in front, covering a similar place
with fine wire netting, doubled as
shown IN the illustration and at the
point B. This wire will keep out YER
min as we'll The lower part Of the
coop is SO arranged that small door

essary to let the old hen out, and yet

A SANTA FE HOTEL.

Apropos of short article from the
Kansas City Star which appeared in
the Optic last Saturday, referring to
the proposition to mark the old Santa

gests to the Optic project that has
attractive features.
The gentleman touched upon the
proposition to establish a three-story

hotel be called the Santa Fe Trail,'

Keep a Sheen DOG.

Keep Sheep Dog.
Every farmer who has flock of fif.
ty or more sheep ought to keep a good
shepherd dog. He Is worth a big price
in the first place, and will earn his
cost every year in saving sheep and
lambs and in doing the work of a man.
Thelr intelligence is almost human and
they will take sole care of a flock of
sheep, spending every day. and night
with them If allowed to do so. 1t is
better, however, to put the sheep in an
inclosure at night and relieve the dog
from the care of watching them. In
the morning he may be sent out with
them, and he will herd them on any
field of land or keep them within any
bounds indicated.
The fidelity of the shepherd dog is
remarkable. In Colorado one night
last winter herder brought his focks
and hurried to his cabin to cook him
self some supper, for he was more than
usually hungry. But he missed the
dog, which usually followed him to the
cabin of an evening to have her sup
per. The herder thought it rather
strange, but made no search for the
dog that night. But when he went
down to the corrals the next morning
he found the gate open and the faith
full dog standing guard over the flocks.
The herder in his haste the night be-
fore had forgotten to close the gate,
and the dog, more faithful than her
master, had remained at her post all
night, though suffering from hunger
and thirst.
On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch flock of sheep near
the herder's cabin while the herder
got his supper. After he had eaten
his supper he went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put
the sheep in the corral. This she re-
fused to do, and, although she had
no supper, she started of over the
prairie as fast as she could go. The
herder put the sheep in the corral and
went to bed. About midnight he was
awakened by the loud barking Of dog
down by the corral He got up,
dressed himself and went down to the
corral, and there found the dog with
a band Of fifty sheep which had
strayed of the previous day without
the herder's knowledge; but the poor
dog knew it. and also knew that they
ought to be corraled, and she did it.
A well-bred shepherd dog = the
Scotch collie, If bred from working
stock, is the best-will cost from $25
to $50, but they are worth it any
time.

MORE THAN AVERAGE
YIELD is ASSURED
SAN LUIS OBISPO

SAN LUIS OBISPO, May THE
present season in San Luis Obispo
County has been a peculiar one from
the standpoint of climate and crops.
Taken altogether it is perhaps above
the average and much better than last
year This county is largely devoted
to the dairy interests, and for the
dairymen the season is splendid.
The livestock interests generally have
benefited in the same way. The wheat
and barley suffered some from exces-
sive moisture and some lands do not
promise we'll On the whole grain
prospects are good. There is some
rust, but it is confined to the blades.
The potato crop promises big, as do
all Summer crops of vegetables, beans,
sugar beets, pumpkins, melons, etc.
The last rain made it necessary to piow
up many bean fields. About half of.
the acreage had been planted. This
must be planted again because of the
weeds.

cause of lack of demand for the fruit.
Apricots were damaged by rain while

Cherries will blight from the last
rains. Peaches will not yield well this
year for the same reason, but Will
probably be very fine in quality. The
pear blight seems to be over and the
trees are yielding heavily again
The fruit crop in general is no bet

crops expected to be heavy. Pasturage
Is abundant in all sections.

tionally good and the crop is very

ments daily.

The same rain reached the lima bean
section of the county In the Santa
Clara Valley and put the ground in
excellent shape for planting. A big
lima bean crop is expected, as are good
prices. The acreage will be about the
same as last year. when more than
10000 acres were put in.
The beet crop promises to be better
than that of any season since the
sugar factory was built at Oxnard.
The heavy rains Of the last season have
been just what was needed for the beet
farmers. The acreage in beets will be
as great as last year, when $4,000 acres
were planted. Last year, however, ow-
ing to light rains, the yield was much
reduced.

the past twelve years. The rainfall was
distributed in a manner that brought
the best results. The prospects are
that there will be at least 10000 sacks
Of barley marketed The heavy rain
now falling may damage the early
barley, that has headed out to some
extent. The rain will also damage
some hay, but the yield will be enor-
nous.
The mustard crop will be phenom-

large acreage of beans will be planted
this year. The conditions for beans
never were more favorable and an
enormous yield Is expected. Planting
will begin at once Onions promise a
WELD of 200 sacks to an acre. All other
vegetables are doing fine. The yield Of
fruit and berries will be unusually

NOT IN SEVEN YEARS
HAVE THE CROPS IN
SOUTH BEEN SO GOOD

Los ANGELES, May Not in sew
en- years have crop conditions been bet
ter in this section of the State than at
present After an unprecedented num-
ber of consecutive seasons in which
the rainfall was far below the average
this year there has not only been many
copious rains but they came at
intervals that yield the greatest
good to the agriculturist. OF equal i'm
portance was their effect upon the ar
tesian plane. Continuous pumping from
year to year had lowered the level of
the artesian supply until how to get
sufficient water became a serious ques-
ton in many localities. This season the
water is almost to its old level. the
many big reservoirs are nearly full and
the soil itself has been soaked, to an
unusual depth.
The result of the conditions makes
certain a season of prosperity for the
ranchers. The winter passed without
a killing frost and the fruit raisers ex-
pect that next fall will be record
breaking season for them. The acreage
planted to grain is larger than for
many years and the yield promises to
be far above the average. Agricultural
conditions throughout Southern Cali
fornia could hardly be better than they
are
