The buildings of the ex position itself are all finished. The sound of the hammer which mat .till be heard during the first day. after the omciai opening will be heard in connec tion with the installation of exhibits only! aud the reason for this conceded delay in the installation of some of th. exhibits lies in the fact that Chicago is o far away, that it was so hard to get cars in time for the speedy transnort- tion of foreign exhibits, and in the fur ther fact that California is the only part of this great western world where mow does not impede progress by rail. A hundred cars containing foreign exhibits intended for the Midwinter Exposition were sadly delayed en route across the continent, and these are they that nave not yet been set up in all their glory, thongh only a few day. more will elapse before the perfection of the grand pic ture of industry and progress in which they are to play so important a part The whiter rains, which have in many instances dampened the urdor of exposi tion enthusiasts, have been working wonder, in "everybody, garden" in Golden Gate park. Toilers in wintry woods in eastern sections of this great laud, and worker, amid the snow, of bleak regions far away from California would almost give their eyes, no doubt, to catch one glimpse of the green lawn. and springing flowers in the midst of which this great exposition has been erected. Many Easterners are already here, and are reveling in scenes that are new to them and joining; in the univer sal wonderment that a great city has sprung up iu these few months, here by the sir1 1 of the Golden Gate, almost as rapidly as vegetation develops in this glorious climate. No name has thn. far been given to this city of rapid, development: - no name, at least, that has as yet been nni- Tersally adopted. The "City of Palms " We, one of the, name, suggested in the earner days of the exposition, when there was a possibility of pidnu nredom mating in the decoration of the exposi tion grounds. But tho progress of the landscape work developed the fact that there was such a variety of tree life, and such varied foliage in the foreground aud in the further reaches of the picture that no one tree could be selected as typ ical, and the result has been that tho. who care enough about it have been cost- !! Hera and 8m Everything, and No ik ing Kteapcs II la Notlea. There li not iu existence perhaps a bird thut knows more of the surroundings In the placet he inhabits than the ruffed grouse. Ilo bears, lie see everything. Nothing es capes his notice. This- Is his home. He lives about here all the sea-ions of the year seedtime ana Harvest, winter aud sum mer. He knows well also every wood, ev ery covert, thicket and stream hi the vicin ity. When compelled to leave this place. be has several select spot to which he flies lor reluge. Oaeof these retreat, maybe in a dark and eloomy nook under the umbrageous milage oi mo woods, or it may be In ciump oi dense aud Impenetrable ever greens or among the witch hazels or amid the Innumerable and Inaccessible, saplings ot tne Kentie, sloping woodland, or it may be in the open wood. The sportsman will sooq com to learn the location of these ipoU by carefully watching the flight of the bird, but the grouse also will soon be come aware ot that fact after he bas been disturbed a tow times and will go no more there, but direct his flight elsewhere. Tb grouse never flies without knowing exactly where he is going, and when he starts on bis way nothing will turn him from bis course, for in my experience I have seen nut one bird cliauge bis line of flight. 1 onoe saw a groune crossing a field fly dl rectly over a man and a team of oxen plow- lag. But the ruffed grouse practices at time a mode of flight that Is extremely decep tive aa to his destination. In the hollow he will fly straight ahead through the mid dle ot mem for to 800 years and then laxe a wide turn or about 40 yards, and coming back tbe same distance alight on tne brow of tb bill, lie is now iu a posi tion where he can see the sportsman ap proach and can watcn bis movements, and where be wn-tld scarcely be looked for. If discovered, however, be flies along th top or in Hill, Keeping well out of gunshot. Such birds are hard to And again, and th mystery is where tbey go. . As tbe grouse resorts to strategr to es cape from man, he Is also compelled to do the same to suve hlniselt from bis other enemies. I recollect being In the woods one morning on a pleasant day in October and seeing a hawk sailing above a hemlock tree. Approaching the spot I discovered ntr the top nn a limb about four feet from tbe body of a tree a ruffed grouse. The hawk continued for some time bis circling movements, when he began gradually to descend. The grouse seemed lost, when as the hawk passed near and to the opposite side of the tree the grouse like a bolt shot from the limb, and flying only as a grouse can fly made for the dense cover, which he reached In safety. When the hawk came around and found that the bird had flown, he rap- iniy ascenueu ana was soon lost to sight. Forest and Stream, Walla " BJin, wtgioic per cenuu. raovisioiis.

Now that the weather is cold put plenty of straw on the floor', and add a little meal to cows' ration. It is best to have cow. go dry not over five or six weeks. About ten month, of the year ought to represent the time a cow can be milked. Corn kernels having a flinty, glazed surface contain an excessive amount of starch, while the dull-colored, shriveled grains have an excess of sugar. When baling hay don't employ a man with a poor old press; get a good machine. It doesn't cost any more to send your hay to market in an attractive manner.

Tha oil will not only take off the dirt, but will soak into the leather, softening it and matting it water-prooi. Ice can be kept in the simplest kind of a structure. The essential condition, are that it .hall be packed in a mass; that there shall be no air .paces at the bottom ; that it shall be surrounded by a non-conducting material, and that it shall have ventilation and be secure from wet. If the cattle are stanchioned all day, do not neglect to give them a brushing or carding. When loose they can attend to it themselves either with their tongue or by rubbing, or by both. When you change their surroundings do not de prive them of this health-giving privilege. Fertility tend, to make fertility. Good crops grown from the land, fed to good eiuca. upon tne tana, ana tne oy-prod-ucts returned to the land with due care will make better land, bigger crops, and enable the feeding of more stock. Then you have more manure again, and the same round goes on ana grows more money as it does so. It is foolish business to plant seeds without testing their germinating power. It is so easily done that there is no ex cuse for omitting it. Place them between two cloths, and keep them damn and in a warm room for a few day.. Probably more will germinate thna than In th earth; but, if 90 per cent prove good. you may safely plant them.

Do not think that because the snow cover, them up it prevents them from doing harm. Get all such thing, cleared un before von consider yourself ready for winter. ' There is one thing that ninut ha avni.l. ed in buying a run-down farm. That is, the effort to make It yield good crops at once and to improve in condition while doing it. Such a course will only make tne land poorer. Be content to do one thing at a time, and let the first be the building np of the soil. Then the good crop, will come in their own good time. noou a raw enormous quantities of moisture from the soil, and by this means it is uiscnargeu into tue atmosphere. Fot example, the common sunflower was found to exhale twelve ounces of water in twolve hours, and an oak tree with an estimated number of 700,000 leaves would in the same way give something like 700 tons of water during the five months it carries foliage. BKKD POTATOES. It is of prime importance in successful potato culture to secure as nearly perfect seed as possible. A very good plan is to select seed as you take the potatoes from the hills in the fall. But, if it is not done then, the seed supply should be se cured before storing the crop away for the winter. Select well developed pota toes with smooth surface and tree from scab. Medium size, are best, as these are more apt to be well ripened and more nearlv perfect. If, however, the vines have been kent growing nntil all the tubers were fullv rine. the smaller ones make as good sued aa any. The important thing is to get ripe tubers. We have always advised storing in ont- of-door pits, covered just enough to keep them from freezing. If there is danger of an early thaw in the spring, it might be well to cover the pit with a layer of straw. Seed potatoes should not be kept in a cellar. The eyes will start before planting season, and much of the sub stance of the seed will be lost. Eiplalaad.
