Women as Prisoners.

From lie Matfn of Paris
In cases of criminal poisoning a woman is
nine times out of ten found to be the guilty
party. Poisoning IS feminine crime par
excellence. The Hindu practice of con-
demning young widows to be burned alive
on the biers of their husbands was a sort
of preventive measure against conjugal
poisoning.

that some competitor in youn

other sure sign of the decay in clubdom Is
the increased ease one has in Joining even
the best clubs. Not so very long ago one
had to wait perhaps ten or even twenty
years, whereas now there are few clubs
which one cannot become elected to within
two or three years

and other necessities Is not so
high as In the colder parts Of
the country, as much OF II II
usually produced near at hand. All
OF these things combine to make the
regions Of Southern California most
attractive 10 poultry growers, who may
be seeking a softer climate TO lessen
the aggravatlon which the rig0rs Of
winter heap upon some member Of
the family. Many have gone there
seeking a place merely TO benefit their
health, and have been much improved
by so doing; but they have also been
able TO make a living for themselves
and their families through the COM
blnation above described.
ALL CANNOT SUCCEED.
All do not succeed. This can not be
in any following Of life Those who
do succeed usually have more or less
experience In the business before they
embark upon 1t. The failures come
to the inexperienced, and those who
are unable to contend with the diff
cultles always confronting one In the
upbuilding Of a new home In any To-
callty.
What are known I'm the San Fran
cisco market as range" eggs, the Nc "
York market designated as "fresh-laid"
eggs. Ranch eggs Of California are
the fresh-laid eggs that are brought
direct to the market and sold as such.
During November and December last
this quality of eggs sold In the mar
kets of San Francisco as high as fifty
one cents a dozen, and as low as thirty
cents, influenced, no doubt, by the sup
ply and demand, governing this pro-
duct In every locality.
Eggs sold in Chicago during the
year of 1905 as low as fifteen cents.
In San Francisco the lowest price
quoted for the year was fourteen
cents. When the lesser expense Of
caring for them Is Considered, the adj
vantages or profit from poultry grow
ing should be fully equal to, If not bet
ter than would be the same pursuit in
Illinois.

PRAIRIE DOGS.
One OF the Pests of the West.

the biologists were loaded for rabbit,
so to speak, and they furnished the
forest people with a harmless wash
to soak their pine nuts in before plant
ing, and with a cheap dip for the
nursery stock which a self-respecting
rabbit will no more nibble than will
an ordinary human being smell auto
mobile odor for a perfume,
In this the biologists confessedly
took a leaf out of the book of the
Piute and other desert-dwelling In
dams. The Piutes have been caching
food supplies of pine and pinion nuts
in the desert for hundreds of years
and they found that the rabbits, the
ground squirrels and prairie dogs
would clean out their cache. But
they found by experience that there
was a little desert weed that the
ground animals disliked excessively
and that anything dipped in a tea
stepped from the bark of the weed was
rabbit-proof for long time thereafter.
So the rabbits were checkmated on
that play and the forest officers have
no more trouble from that quarter.
PLAGUE OF THE WOLVES.
But it is the very presence of the
forest reserves that has bred the
present plague of timber wolves in
the West. No hunting is allowed in
the reserves and they form nurseries
for game of all sorts. But it seems
that they breed wolves quite as fast
as they breed anything else, Of which
fact the cattle raisers have been made
painfully aware.
In the days of the buffalo on the
plains, thousands of wolves lived on
the herds. When the buffalo were
killed off the wolves disappeared also,
till there was not one where there used
to be a thousand. Then the cattle
men began to stock the ranges, and
the wolves found conditions much the
same as in the buffalo days. They
promptly multiplied and increased till
they are now doing an immense
amount Of damage, aided largely by
their asylum in the forest reserves.
The biological survey has sent out
Mr.. Vernon Bailey, one of its best
men, to study the wolf problem, and

poisons and traps. But the wolves are
about as cunning as foxes, and after
you have trapped and poisoned few
in a given district the rest grow wary

BUSINESS METHODS IN FARMING
Successful Kansas Farmer Who Has

cess of A. L. Hollinger, a well-to-do
Kansas farmer who opened a set Of
books when he began farming twenty
years ago and who has kept his ac-
counts as accurately as a bank does

balance and found himself $4,000 to
the good. He has now retired from
the farm and will make a tour Of
America.
The compilation of his long recded
beginning with 1886 shows the total
figures given as follows: He has
raised 5,265 acres of wheat, a yearly
average of over 1853 acres, and on
that area has raised 9S,791 bushels, or
an average per acre for twenty years
of 1875 bushels. During all the two
decades he never hadan entire failureof
wheat, although an average of III
bushels an acre In 1895 came very near
to it.
His corn record is equally interest

Egg Farms Of CaIi0rnia.

BY 4. n. McGREW.
Many years ago | assisted a friend
IN the loading Of car of poultry for
California. This car was shipped from
Central Ohio, and the fowls contained
therein were very well selected from
ilOcks Of desirable varieties The
owner of this car crossed the conti-
nent In care Of his birds and settled in
Central California. Reports from
there few years later told a direful
story. Of the imposslblllty Of success
In poultry-growing in California.
IL Is unnecessary to relate the many
troubles experienced, except to say
that the amateur In poultry at that
time imagined that the birds would
live and prosper I'm the California eli
mate without proper shelter within
houses during the cold, damp weather.
A close study Of these conditions
has entirely eliminated all these mis-
takes, and to-day there is no place
In the United States where there Is an
enthusiasm equal to that found
throughout California with reference
to this industry.
The construction of proper houses.
the selecting of proper breeds and the
proper caring for them has built up an
enormous egg business through that
section Of the country.
In the neighborhood Of Petaluma.
more Leghorn fowls are probably kept
for producing the whlte-shelled eggs
for the California city markets than
can be found within the same number
of miles in any other place in the
world. One enthusiastic visitor to that
locality has made the statement that
every acre in the fifty thousand acres
visited contained hundred Leghorns.
The climate Of Southern California.
the beauties of the scenery, the pleas
ure Of fruit cultivation and the profit
able growing Of poultry have attracted
many hundreds to that section to en-
bark in these pursuits under pleasant
conditions.
A Mr.. Brownlow who purchased a
few acres of ground in that locality
ten years ago has built up for himself,
with the assistance of his wife and
children, most profitable combination
of poultry, fruit, bees and squads, all
of which thrive continually under the
softer climates of that locality, ena-
| bling these people to produce broilers
every month with a minimum amount
of care and attention, the fruit and
bees being a remarkable source of
profit during the greater part of the
| year.

GREAT BEAR COUNTRY.
Representative Bede of Minnesota
Tells the President About Big
Game Hunting in Duluth.


Game Hunting in Duluth.
How 1t happened that the war cor
respondents at Washington found out
about ]. Adam Bede's conference on
bears with President Roosevelt does
not appear However, a full report of
the Minnesota Congressmans tales
has been made, and was made public
In the New York Evening Post II
makes an alluring document Mr.. Bede,
who is the acknowledged wit of the
House, sought the President with the
friendliest intention. you like to
shoot BEARS" said "Jadam," diplo-
matically. Mr.. Roosevelt admitted it.
"But you don't have to go into the
wild West for your sport" went on the
Minnesota statesman. Think of this
fact: thirteen bears we're shot in the
streets of Duluth last year-in Du-
luth, the pride Of the Northwest, that
beautiful city on the great unsalted
sea-" The statement had a perceptible
effect on the President. and Mr.. Bede
was encouraged to go on. tits the
only place in the whole world, Mr..
President, where you can go bear
hunting by trolley car under the cleo
trio light, and on asphalt pavements.
We have all the conveniences so dear
to the heart of the true sportsman,
and without leaving your hunting
ground you can walk across the street
to the mail box and drop in a postal
card to your friends, telling them all
about the game you have bagged."
With the Congressman was a Duluth
constituent, a lady with first-hand
knowledge of bear hunting in that
city. She added her corroborative
statement: ooh, yes, Mr.. President, a
short time ago friend of mine heard
noise outside his window, and on
looking out saw that it was q bear try
ing to climb telegraph pole. He shot
that fellow without leaving his bed
room" Then, to the Joy of the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Bede took up the tale: Why,
bears are common things with US up
in Minnesota, Mr.. President. Last year
FIVE bears held up one of our trolley
cars. They were two old ones and
three cubs. This occurred right in the
streets of Duluth The big fellow got
in front of the car and put his paws
on the dashboard, driving the motor
man off. while mamma and the cubs
went around after the conductor. After
they had had enough of this sport they
raised the siege and trotted off toward
the outskirts of the city. Oh, no, we
don't let the bears trouble us much.
When they get too bothersome we turn
them over to the police, who drive
a kna
country up there, and I'm sure you
would like to see a bit of it." Now, If
it is announced that President Roose-
welt means to take vacation up in
the Minnesota woods, the correspond
ents may go straight to Duluth, where,
as Mr.. Bede is a true prophet, the
great bear slayer may be found sitting
in the door of an up-to-date hotel, a
rifle across his knees, waiting for the
promised sport.

crafty that they will not swallow a
piece of meat without mounting it,
and If they get the bitter taste of
strychnine or arsenic they drop it and
look for something else to eat.
Whether or not the survey will be able
to kill them Off with some contagious
disease is a question, but they are
rapidly becoming as great a pest and
far more dangerous than the smaller
"varmints."
