Quack Grass.

There is bill before the legisla-
ture to put quack grass in the cate
CORY of noxious weeds. 1t is there
already, but not legally recognized.
If it is put under the ban of the
law that action will do no harm,
and probably it will do little good.
The law might require that it should
not be allowed to go to seed-order-
ing the occupants of lands where it
thrives to NOW it before it ripens
seed. 1t is possible that might to
some extent restrict it's spread. 1t is
generally understood that the pest
seldom propagates from the seed.
Some claim that the seed here never
terminates. This does not seem to
be reasonable conclusion as
patches of the grass frequently
start on the highway in isolated
intervals where it is very unlikely
that sections of the root have been
carried. With quack grass the trite
saying, prevention is better than
cure" is especially to the point.
The farmer who doesn't have it
should watch for it's invasion and
when he sees the beginning of a
patch extract and destroy by fire
every particle of the root. So he
may keep it from invading and
spreading over his land. If he has
got it and got it bad he will always
have something - something he
don't want.

Rev. E. E. Clough Writes Of
California.
Westminster, CAL, Feb. 2, 1907

Westminster, Cal, Feb. 2, 1907
NY DEAR JOURNAL READERs:-
AS so many have written about
my early correspondence / though
that this Saturday l would outline
for you what the first of February
was like out here. | have learned
that every locality has climate Of
| it's own; that what the weather is in
one place is not an index of what il
will be ten miles from there.
The mercury stood at 4S above
zero at 7 o'clock and about 60 at
noon, and it is fair sample of the
weather in January.
This is barley seeding time.
! Teams are going in all directions
putting it in for grain and hay for
the coming summer and fall. They
tell me that the ocean fogs rust the
oats so badly that but few have
been raised of late years. but it is
barley cut green for hay and some
ripened for horse feed.
More attention is being paid to
Alfalfa and the farmers are now
planning for these green fields.
This is great chicken country,
many keeping from $50 to 400 hens.
| never saw SO many hens in all my
life as in Southern California and
yet eggs are So cents to-day and but
ter 35. have a nice group of
chickens which lay just about eggs
enough to pay the expense of their
keeping. l have found that it costs
an average of cts. each per month
to feed the average flock of hens so
that they may rest good portion
of the year and yet still pay.
The climate is about as uniform
as any ever found, from 40 to 20,
one week with another; we have had
frost about a dozen mornings and
ice about as thick as quarter four
times. Thus far there has been a
greater rainfall than in any previous
year since 1884, and more snow in
the mountains than ever before
known. These two things point to
the rep1enishing of the Artesian
Well Basin upon which the country
depends for its irrigation in sum-
.mer. l have driven about the
country some during the last fort
night: As we get further away
from the ocean there are more or
anges and lemons raised and the
crop is large and fine. The other
day / met two men with lumber
wagons with side boards piled full
of loose oranges hauling them to
some of the coast towns for sale,
but at this time of year the oranges
raised near here are sour, the high
er ground raising the sweeter ones.
1t has been too wet for the eel
cry people and cars are so scarce
this winter that with the eastern
market begging for it it is spelling
in some of the fields. The short
age of fruit cars will be source

They consisted mainly of mailing

covered a sure method of dealing with
big schoolboys and young college fell

places and then plead fun and the
baby act when apprehended- He takes
them at their word end treats them as
babies.
A lot of young fellows attending the
City College engaged in a series of an
moving stunts on subway platform
When arrested they took the usual
stand of youthful innocence, with the
usual youthful plea.
"All right" said Justice Olmsted.
IF you are young children who know
no better l will treat you as such. You
are remanded in care of the Cnildren's

There was some lively kicking from
the husky young fellows, but an officer
took them TO the rooms of the society.

childish diet. When again brought
into court they were fined So each. AT

recognized by the artist-phiiosopaers in
Japan whose aim Is TO make the home
life sweet and beautiful. Artistic man

pert devotees are called tea-coasters.
Some OF the tea-masters have been very
great artists and the founGers of
schools of painting. One of these was
Rikiu. A story. told of him in the lit
tie "Book OF Tea" written by a Jap
anese author, Okakura- KakuzA Illus
trates the tea-masters' idea OF ..leanli-

Rikiu was watching his son Shoan
as he swept and watered the garden
path.

Shoan had finished his task. and babe

son turned to Rikiu

Courier-Journal. the Chicago Times,
the New York Sun and the New York
Tribune were synonymous with their
editors. Prentice, Watterson, Story,
Dana, Greeley and others of their type
were always alluded to when the pa
pers were quoted. Prentice died and
Watterson became greater force. For
thirty years he ran the composing room
as we'll as the editorial department OF
his paper, and the politics of Kentucky
at the same time. He was the arch.
partisan, the fiery free-trader who
manufactured doctrine for the other
free-trade editors to reproduce in their
columns. He also made many public
speeches on the labor platform at the
dinner table and elsewhere, and all
ways was the spectacular, grandilo-
quent performer. He served term in
Congress. was influential in bringing
about reconstruction. fought the Ku
Klux Khan. supported Greeley and was
the first prominent Democrat to go to
