this place, handled by George West &
Son, the Tragedy prunes obtained
from row of trees surrounded by
their famous Lucerne vineyard at
Hartford. There was picked from
one row of trees, S463 TWENTY-FIVE
pound crates, which sold for a gross
price of over $4,000 in Eastern mar
let's. alu Let free-onIboard cars at
Hanford over $4,000. Figuring out
the expenses of packing and selling,
these green prunes net the growers
over $50 per ton.
This row of Tragedy prunes was
set out originally around the Lucerne
vineyards as an ornament to the vine
yard, and Judging from the returns
the present season, the trees proved
to be very profitable ornament.
Between 5000 and 1000 crates of
Suisun Bartlett pears, which are con-
sidered by fruit men, to be the best
in the state, are being shipped daily
from Antioch by this company, who
also handle the fruit from all the prin-
cipal orchards of Suisun, including
what is known as the Hatch orchard,
now owned by r. D. Robbins. This
is the largest pear orchard in the
state.

withered stems, when as if called back
to life by a charm, they began to
tremble, to move, to contract, and ex-
pand. Presently the buds lifted them
selves as their stems strengthened and
slowly Enclosed one diaphanous petal
after another until they encircled CEN
trail part.
The flower thus formed somewhat
resembled daisy, but with grace and
beauty all it's own. Within it's core lay
seeds of promise, but the darkness and
air1essness of the tomb had extinguish-
ed forever the life germs within. While
Dr. Deck watched with fascinated gaze
he saw the blossoms gradually fade,
wither and droop, and the process re-
versed. In a few minutes the plant
had again taken the aspect of complete
death. The stem had lost it's fresh COL
or and was brown and dry, the buds
dropped on limp stalks like dry balls.
DR.. Deck brought this wonderful
flower to Europe where it excited great
interest. Many efforts have been made
since to obtain other specimens; botan-
lists have eagerly sought all over Egypt
for its living prototype, and tombs
have been ransacked, but in vain The
news of its discovery in Arabia is ex-
tremely interesting, and it is only an
other proof of the circle in which we
are perpetually travelling.
Though probably cultivated by the
ancients, already in the Middle ages
it was considered more or less a myth,
for though both the Rose of Sharon
and the Rose of the Crusades-the
form OF which may be studied in the
tombs of those ancient heroes whose
story is told by their crossed legs,
somewhat resemble it, neither is that
which we may hope to see for our
selves, the real flower of the Resur-
rection."

Barbed wire is used quite extensive
ly in this state for fencing. 1t has
it's advantages and it's disadvantages.
1t is generally held by farmers that
the former outweigh the latter. The
editor of the Modern Farmer has a
very decided opinion against the wire
and expresses it as follows:
1t is hard for one to realize the
danger there is in barbed wire until
one has had some experience along
that line, such as we have been hav
ing for the last three weeks. We
had valuable brood mare that came
near cutting off her right fore foot,
and we are not sure yet, in spite of
the fact that we called skilled veteri-
MARIAN at once, that she will ever he
of any value, if she does not finally
die from the effects of the wound:
addition to what it will cost for the
services Of a veterinarian. You may
say there is no use of having a horse
cut ON barbed wire, it all comes from
loose wires, or wires that are not
stretched properly. That is what we
thought once, but this mare put her
foot through wire fence where the
wires were as tight as a drum head
and were not more than four inches
apart. We do not know how she did
it, we only know that we found her
in the morning lying about fifty feet
from where she was hurt, and nearly
dead from loss of blood. We have
been looking the matter up and have
come to the conclusion that no farmer
can afford to take the chances of US
ing barbed wire under any circum-
stances. If one could figure up the
amount of loss that comes to the
country every year from the use of
barbed wire, we are sure it would be
more than enough to pay for a good
fence of some other kind. Our slogan
from this time on will be no COM
promise with the barbed wire fiend;
barbed wire must go and stay gone

1t is astonishing how great change
q few years of married life often make
In the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock of the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of it's freshness and the form of
its fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
