The totnl shipment or oranges from
California for the year from Nov, 1,
11H1. to Nov. 1, 1012, comprised iO.ttStt
carloads.
Durlnjr the year 1011 It took 1,000
airloads of shelled peanuts, or the
equivalent of 1,000.000 bushels, to
make the peanut butter consumed In
tills country,
AerordhiR to statistics recently pub
lished by the government, the sand and
gravel output of too country for last
year was tiX.SlB.i."i) tons, worth con
siderably over S21.OO0.OOO.
The statistical experts in a western
agricultural college have figured out
tuat the housewife who prepares the
meals for her family for a year walks
a lota! of 1'25 miles. No wonder she
gets tired and needs a rest
willing' to take the pains to produce
sueh txriine beva&.
The highest price ever recorded In
the sale of n stalllou was paid the oth
er day by u syndicate of I'aris turf
men for August Uelmont's blooded
stallion Hock Sand. The amount In
volved in the transfer was $150,000.
It Is to be hoped that the farmers
who have frrnn 40 to 100 acres of corn
tu pick, running from llfty to eighty
bushels per acre, will get the job done
before n heavy snow comes. There's
grief ahead of them unless they do.
Sensible economy In the mannge
went of, the country school district Is
commendable, bui'this neTer lakes the
shape of hiring a thirty dollar teacher
when one a good deal more competent
can be got for $0, $8 or even $10 more.
The clam beds on the upper Missis
sippi have been so depleted by Ushers
In search of pearls and button mate
rial that the federal government
through the bureau of fisheries has un
dertaken to propagate clams In order
to renew them.
A satisfactory ration for the youug
sows that are to be carried through the
winter Is corn, ten parts, and high
grade tankage, one part If the sows
are not to be bred until Bprlng the
Utnkuge ratlou Bhould be decreased
about one-Uftb.
Grown people often lose Bight of the
exceptional food value of rich and pure
milk as an article of diet It is not
only worth all It costs for food, but for
building up a depleted and rundown
system It has patent medlciaes and
other dope doubly discounted.
There are scads of men who would
begrudge a quarter in cash for the
support of the church who toko it as
a mutter of course if a contribution
three or four times this amount la put
Into a pot of beans, pies and angel's
food for a ladles' aid social. Men are
sort o' queer anyway.
Hungarian or millet cut at the right
time and cured bright and fresh makes
a fair horse feed, but it should not con
I stltute more than one-third of the
roughage. While cows can handle
more of this kind of bay. It does not
give the results In milk (low that either
clover or alftiifa does.
While the writer has never bad the
privilege of eating a dish of October j
Btrawberries. he has somehow got thtt j
notion that they come quite a bit short
of being the equal tu either sweetness i
or flavor of the June grown fruit It ;
takes warmth aud sunshine to give
strawberries that richness and sweet
ness for whii-h they are so highly
prized, and these conditions do not ex
ist as fully us they should during the
fall.
A western farmer who not long ago j
shipped a hunch of steers to a central i
market wanted to save the hide of a
cei'lain steer, a Texas product that had
been Unified on a northern range. The
hide, weighim; eighty pounds, was re
turned to hi in with a hill lor .SKI.SO

The last United States census shows
that there are 307.700 women farmers
In the country. This Is a considerable
gain over the number glveu in the pre
vious census and Is accounted for by
the Inrge number of women who In
the past decade have homes teaded
claims In western states.
Has It ever occurred to you that
you could add f 00 in appearance to
your home by giving tho lawn a lit
tle better attention? A shade tree
here, a flowering shrub there, a
couple of roses of some good vari
ety, perhaps a Wisteria or Clematis
vine to relievo tho plalnlessnoBS of
some portion of tho exterior of tho
house. Just a fow things, don't
crowd them, plant them NOW and a
few months hence you will wonder
why you had'nt done It long ago.
Notice our display right alongside
tho Roachdalo store. Wo have some
four-hundred different kinds of
shudo trees, shrubbery, vines and
roses, every one of which is perfectly
adapted to our . climate and local
conditions. We invite you to come
