Farm Notes.
Pertinent Paragraphs.
California's last year's honey crop,
according to the California Fruit
Grower, was about 5,000,000 pounds,
of which 2,800,000 pounds was shipped
east. There were shipped to Europe
4972 cases by sail and 961 by raft over
land. The stock on hand is hardly
sufficient to last till the new crop
comes in and there is a good demand
in all markets. Comb honey has been
scarce and many orders could not be
filled, especially for one-pound frames,
which command 2 cents a pound more
than two-pound frames. Apiarists,
make a note on't.
E. W. Steele, a progressive dairy
man of San Luis county, has made a
generous offer to the county agricul
tural society. He is interested in
Holsteins as competitors of the Jer
seys as the model butter cow, and he
offers a thoroughbred Holstein bull,
two years old or over, as a premium
for the cow yielding the most butter
on the grounds during the fair, under
test conditions, and a thoroughbred
registered Holstein bull, six months
old or over, for the second best, pledg
ing himself not to compete nor permit
any of his cows to come in competition
for the premiums. Mr. Steele also
offers to have milk testers and centri
fugal butter extractors on the grounds
and test the milk of every cow on ex
hibition. He claims, as do others who
have used the extractor, that it saves
20 per cent more butter from the milk
of any cow than can be got by the old
method.
The war which the federal author
ities are making on the sale of oleo
margarine for butter is not being
seconded by the dairymen of Cal
ifornia, in the enforcement of the
state law, as it should be. There are
laws enough on the subject, and they
are good enough, but laws will not
enforce themselves. The dairymen
should be willing to contribute the
small sum apiece which would be
needed to hire competent men to see
that all pleomnrg&tino offered tor saTeTShe will receive a eheek for all her
by grocers or placed on the table in
restaurants is bought by the con
sumers as oleomargarine or not at all,
and the state law is sufficient, if en
forced, to accomplish this. If any
body wants to eat oleomargarine he
should be permitted to do so, but it
should not be fed to anybody as
butter. "
Growing Raspberries.
Small fruits are not given near the
attention in California that should be
given them. Berries of all kinds do
well in most parts of the state, and
everyone should grow at least enough
for home use. Mr A. B. ELls gives in
the Santa Ana Blade his experience
with raspberries, which will prove of
general interest: -
It is time now that pruning was
done, but any time before the leaf
buds swell will do. I believe most
writers, recconiend cutting back dur
ing the summer, and if properly done,
it is, I suppose, a good plan. The
results which I myself have obtained
in this way do not warrant me to
recommend the plan to the new be
ginner. The trouble with this method
with me has been that I checked the
growth for a time, and then induced
a late growth that was not to be de
sired. If the plants are cultivated
sufficiently to keep down weeds and
make a good growth there need be
but little fear about canes upon which
to grow the fruit. I prune according
to the size of the cane, remembering
that a cane of ordinarily good growth
may be expected to hoi I a weight of
four to six pounds of fruit and foliage.
and also that fruit buds tlwown oat
near the ground will produce double
the fruit that they will over two feet
from the ground, and that of a much
better quality; and also that it is the
buds near the ground that are most
likely to remain dormant if long canes
are h i t to be tied up to supports.
As to varieties, the Souhegau or
Taylor's Early, is the only one I have
fruited here. It is a sprawling grower,
and I expect it to be superseded by
some of the other varieties. It was
the only black cap I could obtain at
the nurseries here two years ago. I
sent east for the Gregg and Shaffer's
Colossal. The Gregg is an upright
grower, a large berry, covered with a
bloom. It is of the best quality for
table and I believe it is conceded to
be the best shipping raspberryyet in
troduced. I have great hopes for this
berry here. My plants now look the
finest of any I have ever seen any
where, of their age. I will be glad to
show them to visitors at any time,
and I shall report occasionally how
they are doing, through this paper
not only the successes, but the fail
ures as well, for w;e can often learn as
much by knowing what to avoid doing
as by reading how some successful
grower succeeds. A case in pblnt, to
illustrate: When I was raising b
ries in Kansas I read that salt was a
preventive measure for some insects
and when I set out plants the next
time I remembered this and applied
salt quite freely to the plants. A word
to the wise is sufficient never apply
salt directly to any weak plant. Salt
is an excellent insecticide, but it is
death to most plant life as well. The
Shaffer's Colossal is a rampant grower,
of brown-black color, and the largest
berry I know of. It hbs a peculiar,
anHo-ht.lv aiif flavor that itiaiIa it. ri1I
for from 2 to 5 cents a box more thuiy
other varieties in the markets where J
have generally sold them. It is, ho
ever, a rather soft berry, and hen .,
not a good shipper. As to setting;
prefer to set them in rows, 5 to 8 f
apart, and three to four feet apart
the rows, and give good shallow
tivation." f '

The War In Chile.
When the rebels captured Iquiqui
the government troops took up a
position some distance from the fort.
The rebels returned on board their
vessels, leaving only fifty men in
charge. The troops soon heard of
this and marched on the place 200
strong, under Colonel Soto. Firing
commenced, and the shore fusilade
led the ships to promptly open fire.
The Blanco Encalada, Esmeralda
and Huascar used heavy guns, while
the transports kept the mitraileuses
busily employed. Tremendous de
struction followed, and the flames
spread until the whole central part of
Iquiqui, where the best stores and
buildings were situated, was in ruins.
The fight which resulted in the fire
as a stern and bloody tragedy in
whieh 200 men were killed, and it
would have been more prolonged had
it not been for the arrangement
reached by the chiefs of the two
parties, and under which the op
position leaders engaged to pay
Colonel Soto $10,000 to deliver among
his men, who were then to join the
rebels. The government troops aban
doned their arms and soon dispersed.
Subsequently Soto was arrested and
sent on board the Amazona, accused
of having distributed only $1000
among his men and having retained
the other $9000.
The Chilean government has evacu
ated Antofogasta.
The report reached Panama on
March 7 that when the forces of Val

killing several of her crew, the com
manding officer solicited permission
from the shoro authorities to bury
them, and the answer he rccRivRd was
that he might bury them in the sea
The commander of the Blanco En
calada thereupon referred to the cap
tain of her majesty's ship Champion,
and the latter significantly replied :
Request me to bury them and I
shall do so." The request was ac
cordingly formally made, whereupo

department, on whom devolves the
task of replying to the foregoing, has
a decided opinion on the subject and
expresses it freely without consulting
the general editor of this great moral
journal, as follows : Go to the high
school, by all means. It gives you a
better, general education than any
body ever got at a "commercial
school " or a commercial college.'
Then if you want a special education
for a trade or a profession get that in
the most practical way possible, for
the high school will not turn out
physicians, lawyers, bookkeepers nor
stenographers ready made. Neither
will the "commercial colleges,"
though they profess to.
When one who has learned book
keeping In a" commercial college
attempts to earn a living the first
thing necessary is to unlearn all that
was learned at the school ; the next
thing is to learn to keep books. Nine
out of every ten persons who are
successful in occupations for which
they went through a preparalory
co'irse in a commercial school will
tell you they consider all the time
and money they spent in that way a
dead loss.
With brains and the education
afforded in the excellent public schools
of California none of her sons or
daughters need make a failure of life.
Mechanical Labor. -
I well remember when I was a child
and did not perform my simple duties
satisfactorily, I was told to keep my
mind on my work.
' No one can do good work with her
head in the clouds," was heard so
often that it remained with me for
years as a sort of an axiom. Perhaps
I was too fond of building fair castles
in Spain, and of weaving for myself
stories far exetlihror in splendor of
detail the most gorgeous on a. in my
fairy tales.
I remember how hateful the drudg
ery of dish-washing seemed to me,
and how impatient I grew when re
minded that the sink was not clean ;
and how hard it seemed to me to have
one of my loveliest day dreams broken
in on by a voice questioning anxiously :
" Did you scald the milk pans? " .
My long-suffering aunt would prob
ably, If here, remember that I usually
answered vacantly, "I don't know.
I can't remember."
Of course this was not as it should
be, and yet and yet consider how I
hated dish washing. I remember
thinking, with briny tears coursing
swiftly down my cheeks, that I would
probably live seventy years longer
and have to wash dishes seventy times
three hundred and sixty-five times
three! This bit of arithmetic so ap
palled me that I lost all power of re
taliating, even when a derisive rela
tive, on ascertaining the cause of my
grief, tried to console me by suggest
ing that I could drop one day for
every leap year. I agreed with him
meekly, but in the face of the thous
ands of times I seemed fated to gather
up, wash, wipe and put away the
dishes, I took but little comfort in
this reduction.
It was years before I came to the
comforting realization that I oould
work and think at the same time on
foreign subjects, with, no detriment
to the result of my labors.
The knowledge, however, that would
have comforted me so much in my
season of despair, only came to me
through experience, the dear teacher
of whom we all must learn, it seems.
As I grew older I had to " keep my
mind on " the new duties I was grad
ually gaining Bkill in; but it came
over me like a flash one day that those
parts of my work which long practice
had made mechanical might bear a
powerful accompaniment of study,
thought and even, in a small way, of
composition with them.
Since then I have been able to ac
complish so much more than I used,
and have seemed able to make nearly
twenty-six hours a day lout of my
twenty-four.
From my own experience, then,
comes a thought that may, perchance,
neip some one eise.

A FIJI CANNIBAL.
lie Claims to Hare Dined no Twenty-five
HMt Preaeliers.
The genernl cariosity of onr entire
town was aroused by ibe appearance
upon our streets of a native' of India,
who was born upon one of the Fiji
Islands, says the Atlanta CoitstituHon.
He wore a veryred or cardinal-colored
suit of clothes, knee pants and jacket
trimmed with black velvet collar aud
cuffs. Over his shoulder he carried a
cloak that was tied over the left shoul
der and under the right, made of white
and red flannel. His head was cov
ered with a blouse that fell down his
back, and still over this a sombrero.
His shoes were tied nnder the instep
with a one-balf inch white braid that
wound around the leg up to the knees.
His general appearance was very
gaudy. - - - . .
This native was converted when
twenty-three years old, and is now
seventy-four years of age. His father
lived to be one hundred and three and
his grandfather one hundred and thirty
years of age. His life has been spent
in lecturing on the condition of bis
people. He speaks twenty languages
fluently. When five or six years old
he saw an Indian woman throw her
child to a crocodile that weighed 1.000
pounds. Tbe animal missed the ehild
and the mother, caught it as it ran
back to her begging for its life, wben
she threw it again; this time tbe croc
odile strnck it with its claws, tore it
into two pieces, and ate it very quick
ly. She then reported her acts to the
pagan priest, and he blessed her. say
ing to her, "Go and sio no more."
He also was a cannibal. When he
was seven years old there were twenty-one
ministers who were caught
while traveling and prospecting for
places to locate churches, and one of
these ministers was beheaded every
morning by their high priest and bis
flesh cooked, and the natives were
made to stand in a row and each one
was given a part of the flesh and they
stood and ate it. This was continued
every day for twenty-one days until
all of the ministers were eaten up, and
he ate part of twenty-one preachers
He says the natives never do eat one
another unless one is taken in war or
as a missionary. That it is a mistaken
idea that tbey slay one another to eat
when this man and that is fat enough
to eat. That the beasts of tbe field
never slay one of their kind to prey
upon, and that the savages have never
gotten to be lower than wild animals.
This man says he remembers yben
Calcutta had only 60,000 inhabitants,
and now she has nearly 600.000. Be
ing a member of the Episcopal church
of- England, he is extravagant in bis
showers cf. praises upon the English
government for-their eivilizing work
upon his people, anft- Jwinir a preacher
he lores to tell tbe Christian effect up
on his people and bow his heart goes
out to all efforts made to civilize his
poor beathen brethren. A mechanie
commands $5 to $10 per day there,
and be knows of a htdy there from the
city of Indianapolis who receives $100
every month for teaching, and says
there is a great demand for more of
these teachers. He bas one of tbe
native women with him.
How to Make Sqneeae-
The science of making squeezes dar
ing tbe last few weeks has, says tbe
Washington 6tarw absorbed some at
tention on the part of the army and
navy commissioners to tbe southern
American republics, who have been
obtaining instruction on this and other
subjects at the National museum pre
paratory to departure for the scenes of
their labor in behalf of the world's fair
at Chieago. Tosbow them how to do
it the Smithsonian experts had them
make in proper fashion, squeezes of
bas-reliefs and inscriptions in stone
on sarcophagi and other antiques.
First, tbey were taught to moisten the
surface of which a likeness was to be
taken with plain water, after which a
sheet of tough tissue paper was laid
over and smacked lightly into every
curve and crevice with a stiff brush, so
that tbe moist paper took perfectly the
form of tbe inscription or bas-relief.
Next a thin floor paste was spread
over tbe adherent tissne paper, and
over this a sheet of blotting paper,
thoroughly wet, was laid. Onee more
with the brush the blotting paper was
gently pounded until it took the shape
as perfectly as possible of what was
beneath. Finally it was left to dry
partially, and some hours later the
whole mask was removed, mcluding
the blotting paper and the tissue paper
to which it was pasted, an exact mold
of the original being thus obtained.
The young army and navy commis
sioners expect to take a great many of
such squeezes of carvings and the like,
mostly ancient, in Mexico, Central
America and South A m erica. They
wul reproduce all such as they find
desirable in this manner and will send
the squeezes thus obtained back to this
country packed in sawdust. All that
will have to be dune is to pour plaster
of Pans into the squeeze. V-rder to
reproduce V" . . , .. "

Why is economy so objectionablK, so
thoroughly distasteful to manv people?
Frugality is not meanness. Discreetly
practiced, it may increase the comforts
of life, for what says the adae?
"Economy is wealth," sod wealih csu
procure luxuries. What can be the
cause bat human nature's objection to
personal inconveniences? Economy
becomes easy, nay, pleasant, when one
economizes on some article not import
ant to comfort. Paterfamilias meditates
in his office: "I mnst economize, I
won't say anything about ft at horse v
it would worry Mary. I'll save on
cigars.1 And at the end of a week
if not before Paterfamilias announces
at home that it is absolutely necessary
to retrench; that they must do without
a servant. Mary acquiesces, and Pater
finds that economy is not so bard aftrr
alL Really, he hardly notices it.
Materfamilias opinion is withheld.
Many people sympathize with Harold
Skimpoie in "Bleak House,1 and think
if they refrain from taking a purchase
about which tbey care little they hare
economized sufficiently, are so much iu
pocket, and may spend that amoun: on
some luxury.
Economy is hated wben it interferes
with personal convenience; it is ad
mired because human nature wonders
st and respects what it finds difficult of
performance That it is aud oorbt ta
be practiced ia . one way or another
by every one should help to mate i

Hardly a Sunday paper but p-ivps
suggestions in economy, from fr-" 1
methods of cooking to the inexpensive
preparation of a trousseau. Hut ih
are economies that do not touch t "
pocketbook that are equally as nr
sary. Economy of time may doj c
the amount of work a person mij .
Economy of physical strength is of
same importance, and economy ot
nerve foree may keep at bay ttiat f'-

the Book of Proverbs. 'He I hai ha .
knowledge spare th his words," givn a
good recipe for obtaining a a appear

In all these kinds people fea t r
pet economies. One sisrea hr r

piece of self-denial, and spends ctoaiurs
instead of cents on some luxury. A
lady, byco means frugal in other re
spects, has a fancy that was, perhnDS,

large family of boys, to preserve stock

Such economies do not lead to we&ithg
