Jfarm Bote-
Why Not Co-Operate?
The Potaluma Courier has an article
showing that the agricultural producer
does not get his just proportion of the
price paid by the consumor for his prod
ucts and thinks, in view of the years
that have been spent in talking of co
operation that It Is time something were
done. The Courier is right. But "what
Is everybody's business Is nobody's
business" and each farmer is waiting for
some other man to make a move. When,
as shown by the Courier, the price of
cattlo to the grower declines from $ 34 75
a had to $18 04, and there is no reduc
tion in the price the consumer pays for
meat, something must be awry.
The San Francisco Visitor is sure this
evil Is not without a possible nmedy
The box of applos for which the fruit
grower gets 25 cents sells readily in San
Francisco for $1 oi$l 50, and when eggs
are retailed at 45 cunts a dossun, and good
ones are hard to got, the farmer 100 miles
away Is glad tc get 25 or 30. The
remedy lies In the establishment of a
market In 8 vn Francisco where the pro
ducer and consumer can come practically
face to face. The only requisites In the
manager or agent in charge of such a
market would bo a common degree of
ordinary horso sense, a practical knowl
edge of tho.commln.-sion business and
honesty. Aud the groutest of these is
honesty.
If a large building were leased, say In
the Western Addition or the Mission,
where rents are not too high, and if all
the mombors of an organization of farm
ers wore to commence consigning their
produce to it, and tho fact were properly
advertised to the purchasers In Ban
Frauclseo that the best meat, fruit,
vegetables, butter, etc., could be had
there for about half what retailors now
charge, which would still leave a margin
after paying all the exponsos and an in
creased price to the farmer, the market
would be thronged. Aud an army of
commission men would go to work for a
living.
To Kill Foxtail.
" Muntioii has been nrtdo," says the
S.in Frauclseo Chronicle, " of the loss
caused in many localities ,by the prev
alence of wlrtHs known as foxtail grass
together with methods which might be
adopted to prevent the further spread of
this nuisance. The alfalfa growers of
Tulare aud Kern counties have in nu
merous cases been greatly troubled by
tlii) growth of tho obnoxious grass, aud
they are reported to be udopting one of
the ideas suggested here for putting an
end thereto. The foxtail comes up early
1 in the spring, and Is nearly mature at
the. time the llrut alfalfa crop Is ready to
out. The conclusion reached from this
stAteof facts is simple. The alfalfa is
out with the foxtail grass, and when It
Is all well cured It Is hauled to one side
and burned up, thus effectually prevents
lug the eoeds from belug spreud and thus
ciuming still further trouble. Ho
generally Is this plan beiug adopted that
the Tu lure Heyintrr says that in all direc
tions in that county clouds of smoke by
day aud pillars of Ure by night show
where the destruction of alfalfa aud fox
laU Is going ou by wholesale.
'If tliu-ie wuo are adopting this heroic
remedy will do one thing more they will
have little trouble In the future. The
foxtail grows invariably In spots where
the alfalfa has uHluir died out or did not
for Some rousou make a perfect stand at
the start. These spots seem to Increase
In size from year to year. After the crop
has been cut anil burned as has thus
been described It will not require any
great amount of labor to lightly plow the
patches of foxtail and reseed them with
Alfalfa. If this Is not done It will prove
of si'iint usefulness to simply cut aud
remove the obnoxious grass. More or
less of it will be almost certain to mature
and scatter the seed, aud in time the
alfalfa may become choked out, though
it would be a very dilll mtt matter to en
tirely destroy a Held of that grass. How
ever, since whatever Is worth doing at
all Is wort'i doing well, it is certainly
worth while taking every precaution to
make as nearly parfoet a Held of alfulfa
as possible while about It."
Poultry Lloe.
A correspondent of an exchange gives
the following simple method of getting
rid of poultry lice: "lluch Is written
about whltu-w.tshlug aud using koroseue
for the destruction of lice, aud keeping
houses five from foul odors. I have
kept from 5J0 to 1,000 fowls for several
years, aud have never used a spoonful
of kerosene or a gill of whitewash lu
theso housws, and have not seeu a louse
for yours, anil think one cannot be found
on my promises, uud I know some who
have small lots of fowls aud use all pre
ventives rejomiueuded by fancy poultry
keepers, and they are always troubled
with them ; but they are like the leper
who was directed to go and wash lu the
river Jordan they think my plan too
simple. All I ever do for deodorizing or
for destruction of vermin is to use pleuty
of eoal or wood ashes, land pluster or
Btr-slacked lime sown ou or uuder the
roosts, and thrown into every crack oa
place of ludgemeut of tho parasites at
leuMt once a month at ail seasons of the
year, which not only has the desired ef
fect, but increases the value of the
manure.
With good management ducks van be
made profitable.
Where young roosters can bo sold at
a fair price tho sooner they are disposed
of the better.
A large Mock of hens do not thrive as
well as a mnaller flock, owing to crowd
lug and competition.
In the spring the early chickens sell
the best, and for this reasou full hatch
lug is the most prolltuble.
A few fowls of the best quality In with
a lot of mixed fowls will add nothing to
the mm kot value of the rust.

SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS IN HOUSE

Ths Master of the House Finds Out for
Himself That Women Are Not the Only
Cureless People.
n returning from 8
trip down town the
other week I left my
shopping bag In the
car and when I men
tioned the fact to
Mr. Bowser and ask-
4 ed him to call at the
street railway office
and get it, be re
plied:
"No, ma'am, 1
wont I Anybody careless enough toleavf

take the number of the car, and the;
would only laugh at me at the office."
"Do you take the number of every
strcct-cur you ride in?" 1 asked.
"Certainly, .hvery sensible person
does. Day before yesterday I came up
in No. 70. I went lack In No. 44. 1
came up to supper in No. 66. Yesterday
I made my trips in Nob. 55, 61, and 88.
To-dny in Nos. 83, 77 and 15. The street
railways contract to carry passengers
not to act as guardians for children and
imbeciles."
"Mr. Bowser, other people have lost
articles on the street earn."
"Yes other women. You never heard
of a man losing anything."
I let the matter drop there, knowing
that time would sooner or, later bring
my re venire. It came sooner than I ex
pected. Mr. Bowser took his dress coat
down to a tailor to get a couple of new
buttons sewed on, and as he returned
without It, 1 observed:
"You are always finding fault with
the procrastinations of my dressmaker.
Your tailor doesn't seem to be in any
particular hurry?"
"How?"
"Why, you were to bring that coat
back with you."
"That coatl Thunderl"
Mr. BowBcr turned pale and sprang
out of his chair.
"Didn't lose it going down, did you?"
"I I believe I II"
"You left It in the street car when you
came up?"
"Yes."
"Mr. Bowser, anybody careless enough
to leave an article of value In a street
car deserves to lose It. However, you
took the number of the car, I presume?"
'U nor
"You didn'tl That shows what sort

"But HI get it at the olllco to-morrow."
lie slowly replied.
"Perhaps, but it is doubtful. As you
can't remember the number of the car,
they will laugh at the idea, aud perhaps
take you for au impostor."
He glared nt mo like a catred animal
ami made no reply, and I confess that I
almost hoped ho would never recover
the coat. Ho did, however, after a
couple of days, and as ho brought it
home ho looked at me with great im
portance uud Buid:
'There is the difference, Mrs. Bowser.
Hud you lost anything on the car it
would have been lust forever. The
street cur people wcro even sending out
messengers to flud me and restore my
property."
One day a laboring man railed at the
side door and asked for the loan of a
spado for a few minutes, saying, that he
was at work near by; and he was ao re
spectful that I hastened to accommodate
him. Two days later Mr. Bowser, who
was working in the back yard, wanted
the apude, and I had to tell him that I
lent it. As it was not to be found, the
natural interference was that tho bor
rower had not returned It.
"This Is a pretty stuto of affairs!" ex
claimed Mr. Bowser when he hud given
u u the search. The longer some folks
live tho less they seem to know."
"Hut ho looked houost."
"What of It? You bad no business
to lend that spade."
"1 was suro he'd return It."
"Well, he didn't, and anybody of
sense would have known he wouldn't.
If somebody would como here aud ask
for the piano, I suppose you'd let It go.
Mia. Bowser, you'll never get over your
countrified ways if you live to bo as old
as the hills. It Isn't the loss of the spade
ao much, but it is the fact that the man
thinks you are so green."
In the course of an hour I found the
spado at tho side stops, whore the mil a
hud left It after usiug. but wheu I In
formed Mr. Bowser of the fact he ouly
growled:
"Ho brought it back became he prob
ably heard me making a fusi about It
ami was afraid of arrest."
Two days litter, as Mr. Bowser sat on
the frout steps, a colored man came up
and asked to borrow the lawn-mower
for a few miuutct for use on the next
corner.
"Certainly, my boy," replied Mr.
Bowser, "you'll Hud it lu the back
yard."
When he had gone I observe . that the
man had a suspicious look about him
aud that I should not dare trust him,
aud Mr. Bowser turned on me with:
"Wbutdovou know about reading
character? There never waa a more
honest muu in the world. I'd trust him
with every dollar I have."
In about halt an hour Mr. Bowser be
gan to set uueaay. and after waiting a

case of confidence.
"Well?" I queried, as Mr. Bowser
came back with his eyes bulging out
and his huir on end.
"It's it's gone!" he gasped.
"I expected it. The longer some folks
live the less they Bccm to know. If
somebody should come und wunt to bor

A MODERN NOVELIST.
The Heroine or "A Little Journey An The
World" meets a Voting Novelist.
There was a younjr novelist present
whose first story, "The (iirl I Left Be
hind Me," had iniule a hit the last sea
son. It was thouirlit to take a pro
found hold upon life, because it was a
book Unit could not lie read aloud in. a
mixed company. Margaret was very
much interested in him. iilllioujrh Mr.
Summers Hass was not her idea of an
imaginative writer. lie was a stout
yoniiff jriinllciiiiin, wit'1 v,,,'y black
huir ami small black eyes, to which it
was ililiicnlt lo jive a melancholy cast
even by a habitual frown. Mr. Bass
dressed himself scrupulously in the
l'mhion, was very exact in his pronun
ciation, cnreful about his manner, and
had the nir of a little weariness, of the
responsibility of one looking at life.
It was only at rare moments that his
face expressed intensity of feeling.
"It is a very pretty ssene. I sup
pose, Mr. Bass, that you are making
studies," said Margaret, by way of
opening a conversation.
"No; hardly that. One must al
ways observe. It gets to bo a habit.
The tiling is to sou reality under ap
pearances." "Then you would call yourself a re

"Hut you must describe appearance.''
"Certainly, loan extent, form, action,

the trivialities, for lite is made up of
the trivial."
"Hut suppose that does not interest
me?"
"Pardon me, Mrs. Henderson, that Is
because you ate used to the conven
tional, the selected. Nature is always
interesting."
"I do not find it so."
"No? Nature has been covered up.
It has been idealized. Look yonder,"
and Mr. Bass pointed across the lawn.
"See that young woman upon whom
the sunlight falls standing waiting her
turn. Sec the quivering of the .eyelids,
the heaving of tho chest, the opening
lips; note the curve of her waist from
the shoulder, and the line rounding in
to the fall of the folds of the Austrian
cashmere. I try to saturate itiyardf
with that form, to impress imsclf with
her every attitude and gesture, her
color, her movement, und then I shall
imagiue the form under the iulliii nee
of passion. Every detail w ill tell. 1
do not find unimportant the tio of her
shoe. The picture will be life."
"But suppose, Mr. llass, wluyi you
Come to 'peak with her, you liud that
she has no ideas, and talks slang."
"All the better. It shows what we
are, what our society is. And besides,
Mrs. Hcndersou, nearly everybody has
the capacity of being wicked; that is to
say, of expressing emotion."
"You take a gloomv vicw.Mr. Bass."
"I take no view, ill's. Henderson.
My ambition is to record. It will not
help matters by protending that people
are better than they are-"
"Well, Mr. Buss, you may b
light, but I am not going to let you
spoil my enjoyment of this lovely
scene," said Margaret, moving away.
Mr. Bass watched her until she dis
appeared, and then entered in his note
book a phrase for future use "The
prosperous propriety of a pretty pluto

for his forth-coining book, "The Lust

A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
What Was Observed on a Visit to a Danker
Town in Pennsylvania.
Some fifteen miles from Lancaster by
turnpike and twenty by rail lies the
little village of Kpliruta. It is a very
secluded, sleepy-looking little place, in
spite of the railroad that runs through
it, shut in by surrounding hills and by
a low line of mountains dignified by
the name of Ephrata Ridge. The
houses of tho town straggle along a
broad road which crosses the railroad
near the station, dips away until it
sweeps around in a curve over a bridge,
past an old mill in front of a broad
built red brick house, and so away into
the country. The houses, generally
brick-built.in many casesold-fashioned,
are very comfortable and home-like.
Here one meets the Dunker per se in
every by-road and lane men with long
beards and llowing hair parted in the
middle. At the farm-houses are pleas
ant, matronly faces, stamped with
humility and gentleness, while an air
of almost saintly simplicity is given by
the clear-starched cap, the handker
chief crossed on the breast, the white
apron, and the plain gray or drab stuff
on the dresses.
The style of living of these good peo
ple, their manners and customs, are of
the most primitive type. Their aim is
to imitate the early Christians in their
habits of life as well as in their reli
gious tenets. There is absolutely no
distinction of caste among them.
They settled at first near Philadelphia,
in a spot which has since btsn called
Germantown, from tho various German
religious refugees who settled there in
the early part of the last century. The
sect is now chiefly confined to central
and western Pennsylvania, but has
spread to other States, principally those
of the Northwest, though there are
churches established in western Mary
land, West Virginia, and North Caro
lina. Their dress is of the simplest
description, quaint and old-fashioned
iu its cut; they offer no resistance to
injuries; they observe no conformity
with the world and its manners and
customs; they refnso to take oaths in
courts of law; in these and many other
ways resembling the Society of Friends.
Some of their religious ceremonies
are exceedingly curious. They cele
brate the Loid s Supper after the man
ner of the primitive Christians.
The feast begins about the time of
ciuidle-ligliling. The men are seated
upon one side of the meeting-house, the
women upon the other. The first cere
mony is that of the washing of feet,
eacli sex performing this duty for its
own. Those who are to engage in the
ordinance presently enter the meeting,
carrying tubs of lukewarm water, and
each member on the front benches re
moves his or her shoes and stockings.
A man on the men's side and a woman
on the women's then wash the feet one
by one, taking the right hand of each
individual, as they liuish the washing,
and giving the kiss of peace. After
the one who performs the washing fol
lows another, with long towel girded
around the waist, who wipes the feet
just washed, at the same time giving
the right hand and the kiss of peace,
da one benchful has the ceremony per
formed, it gives place to another. While
this ceremony is being conducted, the
minister or teachers make a brief
speech or read appropriate portions of
Scripture relating to the subject.
The next ceremony is the supper it
gelf. Each third bench is so arranged
tnat uie oacit can do turneu upon a
pivot at each end, so as to form the
top of a long table. This is covered
with a white cloth, and presently broth
ers and sisters enter, bearing large
plates or bowls of sou), which are
placed upon the tables. Three or four
pcgple help themselves out of the same
dish. After this the communion is ad
ministered, aud the whole ceremony is
concluded by the singing of hymns and
preaching. This the brethren hold is
the ouly true method of administering
the ordinance of the Last Supper, and
also hold that it is similar to that cere
mony as celebrated in the earliest
Christian Church.
Another peculiar ordinance among
them is that of anointing the sick with
oil, In accordance with the text in
James, v. 14. The sick one calls upon
tne elders of tho meeting, and at a
settled time the ceremony is performed.
It consists of pouringoil upon the head
of the sick person, of laying hands upon
mem, ana praying over them.
The ordinance of baptism is ad
ministered in running water and by
threefold immersion, the officiating
minister then laying his hands upcu
the recipient, who still kneels in the
water, and praying over him or her.
The ministers or teachers, who re
ceive no stipend whatever, are elected
bv the votes of the members nf the
church, be who receives the largest
number ol votes being pronounced
elected. These elections are summoned
by the elders of the church, who pre
side over them and receive the votes
ol the people, either viva twe.tn whisp
ers, or by closed ballots. If no candi
date has a majority, or if there are
greater number of blank votes cast
than for any oue candidate, the elec
tion is pronounced void.
Such is a brief and condensed ac
count of those peoplo, and their religious
customs and ordinances. They are.
caiteu Hunkers, or l linkers, irom the
German tunktn, which mar be inter
preted to dip, or probably "to sop" is
a better equivalent word. They as
sume tor memseives tne name Brethren
on account of the text, Matthew, xxiii.
8, "One is vour Master, even Christ.
and all ye are brethren." They also
sometimes call themselves "God Pe
culiar People." Howard fyle, in Harp'
trs Magazine.
One War to Carry Baby.
A gentleman who was walking
through East street yesterday morning,
says Uie New Haven Palladium, saw a
sight which amused hira very much,
and he related the incident as follows
"A man and his wife came down the
street, oue carrying a bouncing baby
and the other what looked like a ten
quart milk-pail. The man had the
child and had become tired of holding
it. He took the pail from his wife a
put the child into It. I hen she took
hold of oue side of the pail, and off the;
trudged wiih Uie weight tit the child
divided between theiu."
WREfCHtDHICH MEN.
Who Have Immense Fortunes bat Take
Mo Further Interest In Life.
A woman writes to the Philadelphia
Free Frexs from Long Branch: "One
of the saddest things iu tho world next
to real poverty or distress is the sight
of a man who has acquired boundless
wealth and has lost his happiness and
his capacity to enjoy what money
secures, bueh cases are by no means
rare. They are very common. I saw
a man to-day whose income is believed
to be about $1,000 a week, whose whole
day was spoiled because a cabman over
charged him 1 for a short ride. Of
course the millionaire knew he could
not possibly spend his income, but
nevertheless the idea of losing a dollar,
of being defrauded out of it, of getting
nothing in return for It, was almost
ajrony to him. Many n man in making
a great fortune completely loses the
power of enjoying it. This is one of
the world's eomnensatinns. The hav-
piness of sound sleep and a good di
gestion is often enjoved by a man with
an empty purse, while the millionaire
epicure has neither painless digestion
by day nor healthy rest by night.
"I saw on the ocean drive this after
noon one of Philadelphia's richest men.
He is one of those wretched old million
aires who have spent the best years of
their life getting control of a bank, or
a brewery, or a boom of some sort. He
is sitting back in a corner of his swell
landau now and wondering what he did
it for. He has a fine old face, a heavv
gray mustach, bushy eye-brows and
gold-rimmed eye-glasses, lie Is dressed
carefully, and his face is absolutely
empty of interest in anything, lie
can't even work any more. Because he
has so much money all motive is gone.
His wife! Oh, well, he loved his wife
long ago and he bows to her now when
he meets her in the hallway of his
house, and they have never had a
quarrel. Children P Yes, several of
them. Ihcy used to be pretty, and
were fond of him when they were
babies. J. hen boarding school, college,
balls, parties and checks, checks.
Now he hardly knows anything about
them. All sympathy is lost between
them. Living under the same roof,
their hearts are always wide apart. In
fact, he doubts whether he has a heart
at all."
Oil On His Hair.
The Hartford (Cal.) Sentinel tells
this story: "A voting man in this
vicinity called upon a barber and had
his hair cut. As usual, the barber ap
plied some oil to the young man's hair.
The young man retired to his blankets
that night, but about 5 o'clock in the
morning he awoke with the feeling that
some ono was trying to saw the top of
nis cranium on. upon lighting a lamp
he found the only trouble was that the
oil on his hair had attracted a few
thousand ants."
Female Army Officers.
The idea of making Queen Victoria
a colonel of German dragoons has
struck a good many people as rather
odd, but it is said that female officers
were quite common in the British armv
about 150 years ago. At that time, it is
said, persons who bad a pull on the
government were in the habit of
christening their daughters by mascu
line names, getting them commissions
in the army, and drawing pay for the
service which the girls did not perform.
Col. Victoria, of course, does not draw
pay, but is content with the military
glory which goes with it. Toronto
