Years of Work for NOTHING.

This being the time or year when
agents canvass for the sale of fruit
trees, | would like to say few words
in regard to the selecting and buying
of the same. think 1t best to buy of
your home nursery, because then you
get the trees freshly dug, and they are
more likely to thrive and grow When
| say home nursery l mean in your
own county or state. The man that
sells to a man living near him is not
so likely to misrepresent the variety
wanted, and this is what every farmer
and fruit grower should beware of. |
have trees in my orchard that are six
or seven years old and have never
borne anything. ! know by the looks
of the trees that they are not what |
purchased them for. have had my
expense of care and work for nothing.
I advise not to buy many trees OF new
varieties. They may be good and may
not be. Buy mostly old standard vari-
cites that will bear and do well in
your part of the state. Select those
that you know the name of, and when
they begin to fruit you will not have
to hunt around to find what the fruit
Is. A man near me some four years
ago put out an orchard on the install.

fruit turns out not to be what he
bought, and of some of 1t he has
never been able to discover the 2ane.

Homemade Incubators.

Every once in a while we see in
some exchange description of how
to make homemade incubator or a
homemade brooder. We have never
taken much interest in such informa-
ton; for the reason that it is better
for man to buy a machine known to
be absolutely certain in its operations
than to attempt to make from writ
ten description a machine that may or
may not be serviceable. A man in
making a homemade incubator or
brooder must spend considerable time
in studying out the details. He must
then invest some money in materials,
because he must have good materials.
He must purchase thermometers and
lamps, and then he must put great
deal Of time into the construction of
the machine. A large part of this
time will be wasted, for the reason
that h evil have lacked the expert
ence. If the machine, when he has
finished it, is filed with eggs he may
lose the entire lot of eggs because of
imperfections in the machine. The
uOuSy lie las ShpSuuSu anu the time
and the value of the eggs will be
found to more than equal the value
of an incubator or brooder made in
the factory by men who have spent
years at that work. 1t is not always
an economy not to spend money. The
operations Of an incubator have to be
perfect because incubation is a deli
cate process. The heat must run from
SO to 102 degrees through great deal
of the time and 1t is no easy matter
to construct an incubator that will
give this amount of heat with GER
tainty. II it were so very easy to con-
struct incubators, 1t would not have
required so many years of experiment
tation for the manufacturers to get In.
cubators that would be satisfactory.
There are many things on the farm
that may be constructed safely on the
farm and money can be saved thereby.
But in most cases this does not in
clude the incubator. The only farmer
that can make homemade incubator
with the certainty Of having a good
machine Is the farmer that has been
intimately associated With ths use of
ubators.-Farmers Review.

First Weeks Of the Chick.

1t Is fact conceded by all poultry
men that chicks need no feed for 40
to 60 hours after they hst2h, except
little fine grit. The frsi thing
give them is very little fine grit.
The first feed I give them is rolled
oats, and ! have had very good sue
cess feeding them nothing else for the
first two weeks, with an occasional
light feed of fine meat scraps, not
more than twice a week and not this
often If they have free range. A
great many people have good sue
cess with chicks feeding bread crumbs,
but | prefer rolled oats.
Chickens are omnivorous--hogglsh-
iy so. They don't know when they
have enough; so it is for the keeper
to use brains for them and decide the
matter. In wild state they are not
troubled with indigestion. In the do
mesticated state they would not need
a charcoal corrective If they were fed
properly. We are responsible for most
OF the troubles chickens are heir to.
Some people begin when they are
Matched to stuff them with sour,
slushy muses., AID because they are
greedy for 1t we give them all they
can hold. It is little wonder they are
crop bound, have bowel trouble, get
the cholera and quit. Some people
compel their older chickens to go with
out teeth, and they, too, have dyspep'
STA and refuse to lay eggs. The feed
may be ever so good. but If grit is
withheld they cannot digest and assim.
ilate the food.
1t Is debatable question whether
or not chickens should be fed mashes.
Poultrymen have success both ways
But 1t seems to me that the person
who is not skilled in poultry-raising
would be on the safer side IL he used
the dry feed method. Poultrymen do
not allow the chicks to overeat the
mashes, nor do they allow them to eat
sour, spoiled mashes. Everything is
kept sweet aud clean. They are there
to feed more frequently and feed less
at time than the farmer Is apt to
do. Watch an old hen that las hatch
ed brood out under the bushes. She
does not give them ideal care, but she
does give them a diet that agrees with
them. She scratches out bug, picks
up seed, walks about considerable
for the little she does get and then
each chick only gets fraction OF II
all. You wonder as the days go by
where they get water. You are tamil
lar with seeing hand raised chicks fill
up on drink until their crops locked
like bladders. Your chicks get sici
and die. Hers do not. They thrive
and grow. They are lean but lively
and full Of vigor. 1t is worm here
bug there, bit of gravel, blade
of grass, a scrap of fruit. an endless
variety, but in very limited quantity
and never mixed with drinks.
No doubt more failures result from
overlooking than any other one cause
The laying hen or the growing chicl
needs plenty of exercise, no mashes
no sour feed, nothing but good pro

Trap Nests.

;no t:s2 nest is a good thing
IN the experiment station and
on the large poultry farm where
it is desired to keep track of what
each hen is doins. On the ordinary
farm, however, the trap nest is of no
value, for the reason that, after she
has laid, some one must be at hand
to rSease the fowl and record her
number. II the farmer wishes to keep
an individual record of his poultry he
will have to work up some other plan
rather than that of the trap nest.

PASADENA. Aug. 25.-Frank S.
Horr, proprietor of the Pasadena and
Los Angeles express, will be tried be-
fore Justice Klamroth and a jury Of
twelve men on Monday, September 3.
Herr and his two employees, John Mil
Ter and H. H. Anderson, were ar
raigned today on the charge of hitch1ng
a mare to the rear of hay wagon and
beating the animal and dragging 1t
until its injuries were such that it had
to be shot to put it out of it's misery
The charge is preferred by Humane
Officer McAney, and if the story as
told Is true the action constitutes one
of the most inhuman on record in this
city.
Miller entered the plea of guilty this
forenon and threw himself on the mer-
cy of the court. Herr and Anderson,
however retained Attorneys Simpson
and Moody and announced that they
would fight to a finish. Judge Rossiter
viii represent the Humane society in
the prosecution and rather sensa-
tional trial is counted upon.
Justice Klamroth will sentence Mil
ler following the trial of Herr and upon
the same trial will depend the date
set for the trial of Anderson.

MAY STOP WORK
ON CITY'S PLANT.
PASADENA CITIZENS RETAIN
AN ATTORNEY
Certain Provision In City Charter be.
leved by Man Of Law to Pre-
vent Proposed Use Of
Tax Levy
Pasadena Agency,
16ib East Colorado Street \
TelephOue Main Ij1


PASADENA, Aug. 25.-Tnere is a
probability that the courts will be
called upon within the next ten days
for decision as to whether or not the
city Of Pasadena has the right to use
a portion of the tax levy for the con-
struction of a municipal electric light
ing plant.
The certainty Of practical doubling
OF city taxes at a time when other de-
mands upon the citizens pocketbook
are greater than usual has served to
set many people against the mayors
plan, and these people have quietly
been seeking some way of calling halt
in the carrying out of this plan.
No person has as yet come out boldly
into the open as willing to carry the
matter into the courts. but 1t Is certain
that at least one local attorney has
been retained to search for a way of
calling a halt to the project. This at
torney, who for obvious reasons refuses
to allow the present use of his name,
believes that he has found a clause in
the city charter which prohibits such
use of the tax levy.
The clause in question reads: "The
city council shall have power to levy
and collect taxes and assessments for
city purposes on all property within the
city which is by law taxable for state
and county purposes"
The attorney claims that the words
"for city purposes" cover the case per-
fectly and that the courts are not likely
to maintain that the erection of an cleo
trio lighting plant which shall light the
streets and furnish electricity to pri-
vate citizens as well can come under
this classification,
IT,-s~ f1,o fr1fe 81 fr-of
that this clause in no manner forbids
the municipal plant as projected-and
there you are
It is certain that were the suit pro-
posed begun the work of construction
would again be delayed, even though it
might be but temporary.
Fire Teaches Lesson
A lively fire on the north side early
this morning gave another object lesson
OF certain other pressing needs, say a
number of citizens who were attracted
TO the place. So far removed from the
North Pasadena district, where the fire
occurred, was the nearest fire depart
ment house that it took all of forty-five
minutes for the earliest fire fighters
and apparatus to reach the spot.
+. By that time the fire was too far
Under headway to admit of profitable
extinguishment. Then, too, it is said
that no fire hydrants were within reach
of the doomed building, had the depart
ment even arrived in time to be of use.
These citizens assert that 1t is far
more important that adequate fire pro-
lection be provided at this time than
that alNthe city's resources be taxed to
erect a municipal lighting plant, which
they claim is of doubtful economy at
best.

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
Crown City Contractor Is Entangled
With Live Wire and Nearly
Electrocuted
Special to The Herald.

Specldl TO Inc Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 25.-Commissioner
w. c. Crowell had a narrow escape
from being electrocuted this afternoon,
though fortunately he escaped with
nothing more serious than a nerve
,wra cking shock.
Mr.. Crowell is the contractor for
the new Braly block now in course of
construction on South Raymond avenue
and it was while helping about the
building that the accident occurred.
Employees of the Edison electric COM
pany were working on the wires along
the street when suddenly a live wire
was accidentally let loose in the air
above the workmen, on the Braly
block. The death-dealing wire whirled
through the air and with a sputter as
of anger coiled about the limbs OF
Crowell as he stood unconsciously di-
recting his men.
The loosened end OF the wire lay in a
pool of water and the released current
caused the water to boil and hiss, show
ing the danger which lay in the wire
Crowell quickly understood the situa-
tion he was facing and in spite of the
pain shooting through his body KEEP
his hands clear of the wire as he shout
ed to his workmen for help. By the
use of beams of wood the wire was
slowly and carefully uncoiled and It's
victim released.
Fortunately Crowell did not receive
the full force of the current and lives
TO tell the tale. But the experience h6
does not care to repeat.

LOOK FOR A BUSY SEASON
Pasadena Builders Have Some Fear
of Labor Famine Because of
Exodus to San Francisco
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Aug. 25.-Grant Orth
of the Orth Van and Storage company
announces that within the next month
he will erect a $4,000 brick storage
warehouse at the corner of Mary street
and Vernon avenue.
The brick building at the rear of the
Chamber of Commerce building site on
Colorado street was recently bought by
Orth and this material Will be used in
the new warehouse. 1t is proposed to
make the warehouse thoroughly mod
ern with all the latest appliances for
handling goods. 1t will be three stories
in height.
This is only one of the extensive
building operations planned for next
month and contractors are looking for
ward to a busy and prosperous season.
There is one Fly in the ointment"
however, and that is the fear that
there is to be a scarcity of skilled labor
during the season about to open. Seven
painters went to San Francisco on one
train this week and carpenters and
other skilled laboring men have been
gradually drifting away attracted by
the high wages offered them in the
northern city, until the outlook is some-
what disturbing.
On September 1 carpenters will be-
gin to receive a higher wage, according
to adviceS OF the local union, but
whether or no this will prevent the eX-
odus is another question. Then, even
If it does, contractors are wondering
what they can do in the matter of ac-
cepting jobs for completion early in
the season. 1t will mean higher prices
and a considerable uncertainty as to
being able to deliver the goods.
There Is some fear that a rise in the
price of material is scheduled for Sep
tember 1 also, and until that date is
well past few contracts are likely to be
