AN INTERESTING LETTER
Written by Michael Law
renee to His Brother.
Mr.. Lawrence was Fortunate In
Being Permitted to Visit the Big
Fleet In the Harbor at Pasadena.

The following interesting letter
from Michael Lawrence, a former
well known resident of this city to
his brother, Daniel Lawrence, will
be read with much interest:
Pasadena, CAL. May 3. 1908.
Dear Brother ana Family-We
saw Uncle Sans fleet OF fighting
ships. We had great time. We
went aboard and were shown all
around and everything was explain
ed to us. When person stands up
by one OF the monster guns 1t is
wonderful The shells weigh $50
pounds and will penetrate thick
steel armor at a distance of six
miles and the crew can load and
fire five sh OTIS in six minutes. The
officers and marines and sailors
wer e delighted with the way they
were received here by all the peo-
pie. Admiral Emory and seven hun
dred cIlicers and men attended mass
at once In the Cathedral at Los
| Angeles. Blshop Conaty responded
10 the principal toast at the
X. OF c. banquet. The subject was
I"Our Navy" The Knights of Co
lumbus kept open house during
the entire week TO receive members
OF the fleet.
81 believe Uncle Sans warships
can lick any navy in the world,
take II man for man and ship for
ship and let them trot out their
best ones. The sad part of It was
that Admiral Evans could not be
present. He was in great pain dur
ing all of the time of the visit of
the fleet and II is whispered that
he cannot be cured of the kind
of rheumatism that he has. There
was a reception here in Pasadena
I for all the officers OF the fleet.
There were 200 attended and they
looked fine with their dress uni
forms with trimmings of gold
braid"
Your Brother,
MICHAEL LAWRENCE.

COMPLAINTS MADE
School Children are Making Raids
on Shrubbeiy.

That small children in the pub
lie schools must refrain from de-
stroying shrubbery on lots as they
go to school is evidenced by an
order which Is being sent out by
Professor II. l.. Frank of the pub
lie schools to the school principals.
For some time the children have
been asked TO bring shrubbery to
the school for the purpose of dec
Grating the school rooms. Instead
OF obtaining the material At home
the children gather it as they go
to school. Much complaint has
reached the school officials in re-
gard to this action on the part OF
the pupils and it has led to the
need of a check.

Getting PROFIT from Poultry.


Poultrymen estimate that 1t costs !
cent apiece to produce an egg. The
estimate Is based on the fact that the
hen lays 100 eggs In the year. In
other words. where the fowls are con-
fined to runs, and the feed must be
purchased, It costs 10 cents per month,
or S1.20 per year. to maintain hen.
If the hen is an Indifferent layer, and
gives but sixty eggs In year, her
eggs cost the poultryman 2 cents eacn.
1t is argued by some farmers that
their hens cost them practically moth
ing. as they have free range and can
gather all the food they need. There
is some truth in that, and there also
IS some truth In the fact that farmers
fioaks seldom yield pro1t--at least
compared with stock in the hands OF
regular poultryman. There are almost
as many eggs lost on the average farm
as are gathered. Hens hide their nests,
and what eggs are not stolen by ami
mails are subsequently found by the
farmer, generally after having become
stale or bad.
1t is a mistake to allow laying stok
the freedom Of the farm. Large ru1'
and comfortable houses and proper egg
producing food would soon be a reye.-
alton TO the farmer.
An experiment conducted by the Cor
nell Experiment Station IN 1902 show.
ed that the average cost OF feed per
dozen eggs was % cents, or abort
three-quarters Of a cent per egg. The
cost per hen for the year was 99.G
cents. At that time wheat was sold az
S1.45 per 100 pounds. while at present
it is 81; bran sold at S1.35 per 100
pounds. and now Is $50; aud meet
scraps cost s2.15 per 100 pounds. AMI
now we pay $40. 50 at the present
increased price Of feed the cost Of feed
ing the hen is easily 20 cents per year
more than 1t was in 1902.

Green Forage for uogs.


A bulletin has been issued from tho
Missouri Experiment Station by Dean
II. j. Waters, giving the results OF
some experiments to determine the
value of different forage crops for hogs.
Thirs. six pigs weighing about fifty
pounds each were fed vi lots on diff.
ferent fo.9ge crops in connection with
corn until they were ready for mar
ket, accurate account being kept of the
cost of grains made.
In cheapl ess of grains the feeds used
ranked as follows: Corn and skim
milk, cheapes st; corn and alfalfa, sec
ond; corn aid red clover, third; corn
and bluegrass fourth; corn and rape
fifth corn and shipstuff, sixth.
A saving Of about Is cents hund.
red in the cost gain was effected by us.
ing green clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving of 81 hundred was
effected by using alfalfa instead OF
bluegress.
When it is realized that alfalfa comes
on early and when properly clipped
stays green all summer and until the
very hard freezes of early winter, Its
Importance as hog pasture Is appar'
ent. Clover yields more forage per acre
than bluegrass, and as shown by these
experiments, has much higher feeding
value. 1t is of the utmost Importance
therefore, to provide this sort of pas
ture for hogs rather than to require
them to run on a bluegrass or tim
othy pasture, or even far worse than
this, to confne them in dry lot In
the summer time. This bulletln rec
ommeLds a succession of crops for prof
liable hog pasture.

Sweet Corn seed

1t is claimed by seedsmen that the
ears of sweet corn, the kernels of which
are deep amber color and more or
less transparent, are much sweeter
than those in which the kernels are
Opaque and white. The kernels having
fine wrinkle are supposed to be
sweeter than those with a coarse wrin-
kle. The Maryland station made a
test of these methods of selection ana
it was found that practically the same
sugar content was contained in kernels
of different colors, but there appeared
a relation between the wrinkle of the
kernel and the sugar content. The
lowest percentage of sugar In fine
wrinkled kernels was above the aver
age percentage in the coarse wrinkled
and the highest percentage of sugar in
the individual ears having q coarse
wrinkle was much less than the aver
age in the fine wrinkled ones.

Ing that will ruin land quicker than

very rolling land must be continually
on the lookout for little gullies and
take means to prevent their enlarge

the Illinois station says the common
practice is to scatter straw In the

frequent intervals. A coarser material
used with the straw gives better results.
A better plan is to keep the draws in

said to be the best paying line owued by

The story is denied by the agents of both
Beggs and Frost. The line is valued at
betweell 100000 and 100000. If pur-
chased it will become part of the Beggs
system. The line was built by Bion j..
Arnold and was sold to Frost for $780,

tensions have been made.
