not be aggravated on IU account. De
fore thl letter ia read thelaat carload of
exhibit will hav left Chicago for San
Francisco, and before that time also, the
cure of other carload which are now
on th way to Ran Francisco will hava
been unloaded In the Hunnet City and
placed in position in the different build

location.
The building are beginning to at
tract from visitor the praise they justly
merit. Their rapid growth wa but one
uhject of wonder in tbe progrea of thi
great enterprise. Tbe arrangement of
the vast number of exhibit with which
their Interiors are to be embellished ia,
of course, another wonderful operation,
but meanwhile the development of tbe
Idea of the architect and the develop
ment at the aame time of the general
cheui of color which ia being worked
out in all tbe building comprise (till
another fluid for wonder and admiration,
Charlea Uraliam. th well known artist,
ia director of color at thia Midwinter
Exposition, and be U working out in
this connection one of the prettiest pic
ture that the world ba ever een, with
a group of architectural palace set in a
frame of evergreen foliage and against
the background of dark hill and aunAy
California aky. "Pretty a a picture" U
the lint comment that come from th
lip of visitor. " Wonderful to behold"
will be the inevitable ejnel to th orig
inal utterance.
The concessional featnrea, having
made haste to get ready for Midwinter
hay-making, will all be ready by the
(7th, unlesa there may be single excep
tion in the case of the great electric
tower, work on which can scarcely b
completed inside of three or four week.
The machinery plant which, of course,
Include th electric lighting arrange

day aet and will be utilixed on a general
acale for tlis first time on that occasion.
The only .revious occasion when the
treet decorations of San Francisco ap
proached the grandeur which will be at
tained im Jan. il wua when President
Harrison paid a visit to the Tacifio
Coast, but the nrrangement already
made are emphatically in evidence of an
intention on the part of the citizen of
Rsn Franci-co to i.utdo every effort they
have made in this line. It is part of tha
plan of the KH.iitioti mhungometit that
there shall ls a fraud street parade
through the principal thoroughfare of
the city, ami there i already no little
controversy over the line of march. If
th wishes of the citizens were to be ao
Ceded to, the procession would have to
move through every street and the Ex
piwition ground w ould never be reached.
A happy compromise will undoubtedly
be effected, however, and pnblic and pri
vate buildings on the route of the pro
cession will he a blaze of bunting and a
a or color.
Governor Markharn will declarwtl.a
day a legal holiday. Mavor Ellert will
issue a proclamation closing all munici
pal offices, us far as poesihle, and calling
opon the business men of the city to
Close their stores. The National l)n.
will turn out in full foroe. and vers
civic and fraternal society lu the city
wm participate in the parade. There
will be more lian.U of music than hava
ever been seen in a San Francisco treet
parade, and if there is not a bigger turn
out of citizen, in the citv and at tha
Eipoaitiun grounds aa well, than haa
ever been called forth by any demonstra
tion on the Pacific Coast, the expect.
ion or inousanu or the who have
judged the temper of th community
will be grievously disappointed.

Uke place on the gTand stand which la
now being erected for that purpoae, and
for ntilization afterward in connection
wttb athletic sports on the Recreation
Orottiida. Thi stand will accommodate

of it to the number of lOO.uoo.

The following ia c!ipteil from Farm.
FieM and Fireside: W e have noticed in
recent vear increased effort to intro
duce not oulv new varieties ol our old
standard grain, vegetable, plants,
Hosier and tree, but to git Lew kinds,
or at least those new to thi country or
MM.ial loiality. Many ol these are new
creation produced by crossing or hy
bridizing, and are in effect new ; others
are introduced from foreign countries.
Home of these are not inccessful at lirst,
but eventually become acclimated ; still
other are old to one section, but new lo
another. All our Western forage and
seed plant are new to tin country.
Their name is legion, ami there are great
possibilities in them; much we think to
gain by crossing. Fach ha peculiar
characteristic, and a plant containing
the best ol all I likely to be the result.
A word of caution will not be out ol
place. 1H not allow indiscriminate mix
ing, or a fairly good plant uiay be dete
riorated ; eeH'ially do not allow a cross
ing of the saccharine sorghum with th
non-iacc harine, aa it use for syrups will
lie spoiled. Every section ba ita iiecu
liar need in a plant: ao let the crossing
be with thi ideal plant in view. These
forage plant are unknown to many sec
tions. Some do not nee. I them, but
many will find them profitable introduc
tion. The forage ia much belter than
corn, and the analysis of the seed shows
It to te a valuable, though in yield,
ease of handling and feeding it will not
compare with corn ; mil il inigiit is prof
itably used a a change of feed, esH-ci-ally
when a farmer wishes to usechopped
feed. We escially urge every oullry
raiser to raise them extensively, esieci
allv the Kaffir aim. Barley i not a
well-known crop. We never saw but one
crop growing until we bought eed tlie
present year; did not even know what
the grain wa. With no exM-riem in
raising it we are well pleased with it,
and shall grow it largely next year. Wo
think it will be more profitable for home
feed than oat in thi section. Time
may change our opinion aa we find out
ita disadvantage, but at present we
should recommend it for trial here.
Itroom corn la in ita favored home here.
and it will lie raised largely ; but with
out exierience we judge the harvesting
of it will interfere with wheat seeding
here, and thai the wheat raiser will give
it over to the specialist. In our dry cli
mate there ia not so much care needed
in ban-eating, nor so much storage room.
a it can be bulked without danger; but,
as the profits in such crop depend
largely on the finer color and shape that
it goes ujHin the market, the bct nieces
is attained by HcialiBt, by which we
mean one who ha a HiM-cial liking lor
certain line of work. For (ome vear
past it ha been a very profitable
crop, but there i likelv to be a reaction
and low Price (or a few year, aa the
acreage ha in consequence of present
price been largely increased. Cow iicaa
are an old crop to your Southern readers,
nut new to all other except a a fertil
izer, plowing under aa a green crop. We
think they will lie raised largely by those
who can give special time to the harvest
ing mid by those who have land esiieci-
ally adapted to their raising. We have
written of land here that we thought
ecially adapted to them, and now we
knowol one trial acre or a little less that
produced twenty-one bushels. The new
lathvrti svlvestris haa not proved suc
cessful here, but on the sandy lands of
W isconsin it is reported a very product

KKKP VOI-B FOWIJI TAMR,
The Poultry World say: Ye, keep
youi fowl tame, for you will find you
are a gainer thereby. There are far too
many who do not make it a point to
keep' their fowls so tame that thev will
readilv take food from the hand, and
consider such a thing a useless expendi
ture ol tune; but it is not, for tame
bird will I more contented, will lay on
flesh and fat foster, and will lav more
egg than those which are kept constant
ly in a aenu-wiKi state, jvinuness is
never lost on anything, no matter how
mall the object may be. Ixwk at the
stock breeder who i noted for tbe big
quality of his slock, and you will never
see hi in harsh with hi animals, but at
all tunes kind and considerate of their
comfort and well-being. He never best
them or speak harshly to them, for he
well know that such a course is very
detrimental to their well-being. A it
I with larger annual so is it relatively
true of fowl; if you at all time exer
cise kindness toward them, they will
doubly repay for all your care ami kind
attention.
HOW TO Ktf.V l-CMI'KINS.
A writer in an exchange think to
keep pumpkin in a fresh state for ten
month or a year i a very simple mat
ter. A person baa only to select those
that are sound and welt ripened. Han
dle them carefully so as not to bruise the
flesh : wash and wipe dry, and then store
Uieni in a dry warm room, U-t each
pumpkin have a separate rest; that is,
do not pile one on top of another. Keep
the temperature of the room as even as
possible at all times, and sound, plump
pumpkin can be had in June just aa
well as in tail or early part ol winter.
For the past two years fie ha kept hi in
the opper hallway leading from the din
ing room. A portiere hang at the open
ing of the stairway, so that the heat
rise and keep the upper hall at the
same temperature a the dining mom.
If a person ha roomy pantrv, well e
rured from frost or dampness, th upper
shelf would answer nicely for a storing
place. Or a clothe closet, secured from
cold or dampness, would answer the pur
pose a well. Winter squashes can also
nnrnni in use manner. IHimpnes
nd frosted air oon put thi line of veg
etable on the road to decay if left long
under ita influence.
