right hand should he placed in the hot

SAN FRANCISCO'S HARBOR.
Perhaps the Most Notable "Bottle"
Harbor In the World.


Perhaps the most notable bottle
harbor in the world IS that at San
Francisco Here IS Il vast reach of
water fifty five miles long and in some
parts twelve In width. Into this bay
the tides Of the Pacific flow through
the famous Golden Gate This Is
strait about a mile in width in its mar
rowest part and very deep. The proud
Californians look out over this serene
expanse and tell you that here is an
ehorage for the combined nayies of
the world, which indeed seems very
mild statement of the case. Aside
from the immensely of this harbor IA
cility it is interesting to notice that
California's two big rivers after tray
ersing the great interior valley flow
into this bay Thus nature has fur
nished two serylceable water roads,
leading from Il most notable natural
harbor into the very heart Of rich
farming, mining and numbering region.
These rivers, the Sacramento and San
joaquin. are of the same commercial
significance To California that the llud-
son Is to New York.
The harbor ut San Francisco is the
more noteworthy because it is the only
one of first magnitude south of Puget
sound Between these points Galitor-
MIA presents to the orient an inhospi-
table cliff coast, only occasionally bro
ken by little beach or minor inlet.

ings, ii is true. at several points along
this grim front. but ii is Il matter of
considerable hazard. In some places
along this coast great cranes fixed up
on the cliff hoist people and freight
ashore in baskets. And the daring lit
tie skipper must even then keep one
eye to windward lest a crashing storm
drive In upon him and forever terml-
nate his service on the sea. Thus Ii Is
that the two great harbors mentioned
must for all time share a monopoly of
the Pacific ocean commerce. one ia
milar with the Atlantic seaboard can
parallel the situation by blotting out In
his minds eye all the ports between
Savannah and Portland save only New
York and between these In place of the
numerous hospitable inlets substitute
scarcely broken sea cliff He will then
have the conditions before him which
give to San Francisco its pre-eminence.

Alfalfa and Barley for Feed.

A Wyoming correspondent wanted
to know whether hogs, steers and
sheep fed on alfalfa and barley Will
bring as good prices when shipped to
the market as they would If fed on
corn. One of the instructors at the
Wyoming experiment station answers
the question in the affirmative and
adds: provided they have been as
we'll finished as the corn feeder I'm
ishes his stuff We have found barley
practically as good fattening food as
corn when fed in conjunction with al
falfa, and if the feeding is properly
done the meat will be as well marbled
and acceptable as any. Heretofore in
the larger markets hogs have been
hogs and it has not mattered much
about what the breed or how they have
been fed. They have generally been
bought without distinction. More re-
Gently, however, one or two packing
houses have made an important ad-
vance in the price paid for meat hogs

Mater in the Pasture.

Few farms are provided with an
abundance of good, fresh water in the
pasture fields. Water may be obtain
ed on most farms without going into
very heavy expense. Cows and all
other kinds of stock require great
deal of water and they should have
it as fresh and pure as possible.
Where water may be obtained at a
reasonable depth it is economy to sink
a we'll as near as possible to the cor
ners of four fields. A zig-zag fence
and a long trough may be so arranged
that part of the trough may be reached
from each pasture, or short pipe un-
foreground may be used. Windmills
are cheaper for pumping than any 9th
er power. A small mill will keep the
trough full most of the time. The few
days when it is necessary to pump by
hand are just about sufficient to give
a man a correct idea of the value OF
the MILL and he also can get good
deal better idea of the amount OF water
the COWS will drink. Cows having
water constantly before them Will
drink a great deal more than they Will
if obliged to travel some distance TO
get it, and they will give more milk In
proportion. A few pounds OF milk ad-
ditional each day will easily pay the
paste of flour or starch cooked. When
cool apply it to the paper with white
wash brush. Have scaffold the full
length of the room and mounted on
wooden horses that can be moved as
one progresses. Begin papering in
the left hand corner of the room, one
person holding the paper up to the
ceiling in place, another doing the
adjusting and rubbing the paper to
place with a clean cloth in each hand.
After finishing the ceiling, put the pa

How to Start in Cattle Business.

In discussing the possibilities of the
cattle business as it is conducted
throughout the west today Douglas
county man says: "Just get cali by
the tail and hang on. 1t takes the nrst
calf long time to grow, but 40 not
become discouraged, and you will soon
have enough cattle to keep your mind
busy taking care of them. After get
ting a location we bought a COW and
a. calf and yearling and this was our
beginning. We built sheds for our
stock and traded hay for more STOCK.
We took good care Of our cattle and
credit. We usually sold our cattle at
three years old. We figure the cost OF
growing a steer to three years ola
about twelve dollars. We can buy
yearlings for eight dollars and it costs
about four dollars a year to keep
them. At three years they sell at
from forty to fifty"
