SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
San Francisco Herself Aaaln.
San Francisco, after the earthquake
and fire of April, I90G, had a grand
opportunity to follow the example of
Bunbank and Muir In combining 1ran-
ty with utility, Some of the streets.
at any rate, might have been built on
easy contour lines Instead of the mo
notonous parallels so ill-suited to this
hilly slto; but nil attempts at this, or
at widening some of the narrow busl
ness streets, or bonding tho city for
new parks and playgrounds failed
Selfish Interests prevented any con
certed action, and the chance Is lost.
Yet It would be unjust to Infer from
this that Jonqulm Miller was right
when he wrote, long before this ca
lamity, that "the heart of California
San Francisco, is comparatively with
out heart, loyalty or lovo of home."
Surely history records no more re
markable display of loyalty and love
of home than that which Impelled the
victims of this catastrophe to begin
rebuilding before the ashes were cold,
and to rebuild at Buch a record-
breaking rate that the prediction made
By both David Starr Jordan and Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, that In five years
San Francisco would bo herself again,
seems likely to come true.
We found piles of calcined bricks,
fire-twisted masses of Iron, ashes and
weeds, and ruins still In many plnces
: wnere spieniitu buildings Had stood;
but the business streets were being
restored rapidly by the erection of
rows of structures liner and more sub
stantlal than thoHo that hud been de
stroyed. Naturally, tho first build
lngs to go up were houses of com
merce, and as regards these the
charge cannot be made that bemity is
being Ignored. The public hulldln?
will come later, and the thousands of
families that moved to temporary
homes in Oakland, Berkeley and other
cities that may some day bo Included
in the Greater San Francisco are re
turning grsdunlly. Henry T. Flnck

Scratched So She Could Not Sleep.
"I write to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
I took care of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. I used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap
plied Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see a change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is Just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she
was about 18 months old.

when two years old. She was covered

Vnluo of Warmlli For Hogs.
The value of warmth In the produc
tion of pork has not been taken Into
account as It ought to be. To do their
best hogs must be warm. They will
shake oft a Rood share of what you
feed them if they do not have a com
fortable place to stay. Especially at
night ought they to be kept com
fortable. Farmers' Home Journal.
Model Gardens.
"A garden without fruit trees and
berry bushes is only half a garden.
There should be enough for family
use in season, for canning and pre
serving, for winter use, and some to
sell. Starting with strawberries, the
first fruit of the season, there should
be added raspberries, blackberries,
gooseberries, grapes and currants."

Profit In Sheep Rnising.
S. A. Saum,,of Shenandoah County,
Virginia, gves tho following returns
from his flock of sheep this year: Ho
had ono buck and thirty-seven ewes.
Thirty-one ewes had lambs. Six of
the ewes were only twelve months
old, and did not lamb. He raised
thirty-eight lambs and lost six. For
the wool and lambs Bold bo received
$197. Tho owes are not large ones,
and, therefore, do not shear a very
heavy fleece or make very largs
lambs. He says the sheep are the
most profitable stock kept on tho
farm.
Acid Soils.
Acid soils are readily detected by
the reaction which they give with
sensitive litmus paper. In making
the test the moistened soil Is pressed
against blue litmus paper, which
changes to red In the presence of free
acids. Acid soils are made productive
by using lime and other alkaline
material to neutralize the humic acid
before applying farm and other
manures. Acid soils are nt: suitable
for the production of clover and
legumes.
Experiments by Wheeler nt the
Rhode Island Experiment Station in
dicate that there are large areas of
acid soils In the Eastern States which
are much Improved when treated with
air-slaked llmo. There Is grent differ
ence in tho power of plants to live in
acid soils. Some agricultural crops
as legumes are particularly sensitive,
while many weeds have such strong
power of endurance that they thrive
In the presence of acids. Weeds fre-'
quently reflect the character of tlio
soil as to acidity, In the same way
that an alkaline soil Is indicated by
tho plants produced. The acid and
nlkallno compounds of the soil great
ly Influence tho bacterial flora. In
the presence of strong acids or al
kalis, many of the bacterial changes
necessary for the elaboration of plant
food .'all to take place. From Soils

Insect Tests.
The poultry house absolutely free
of lice and mites is the happy excep
tion anu not the general rule. One
must be ever vigilant and constantly
aggressive in the warfare against
these peels' In order to even keep them
in suDjcctlon, says a writer in an ex
cnange. When a breeder tells me
mat not a louse or mite can be found
in his or her poultry domain I cannot
nelp thinking that a thorough invest!
gation of the houses would discover
some of these torments hidden away
under perches or in some dark corner.
Why this doubt of my brother or sis
ter breeder's assertion, do you ask?
Well, the time was when I mnde like
assertions, and thought truthfully,
but I had a rude awakening from my
dream of louseless and mttpipi
J houses and fowls. Just as soon as I
became aware of the presence of lice
a general cleaning was the order of
the day, but never since have I de
clared as enmphatlcally as in the
times before I discovered the unwel
come residents that there were neith
er nee or mites in my poultry house.
Whether you know that there are lice
or mites present or not, it will do no
narm to treat the houses as if vou
were sure the unwelcome insects were
mere, bpray the perches often with
some one of the good lice kniora
the market and occasionally dust the

Poultry Notes.
You should have your flock culled
by this time, and In the order you
consider best against the laying and
breeding time. If the flock Is to be
kept for early laying, extra strength
and fertility, It should consist of one-
third pullets, ono-thlrd hens that will
he two years old next spring, and one-
third hens that will be three years old
next spring or summer.
If you are keeping over male birds
of your own flock this year, try to
manage It In some way that your
breeding plan will bo this: One-year
cockerels put in breeding pens with
year males with the pullets coming
on this year. This rule will insure
a breed of fowls that will, In nearly
every case, conio up to standard
weight, besides securing extra vigor
for them. Too often our fowls,
though we keep them pure bred,
come below required weight.
You can keep the chicken house
Just as much too warm as too cold.
As a rule ventllntors In poultry houses
are not & success. The best ventila
tion Is given by doors or windows.
It by a window see thai it is opened
at the top instead of the bottom.
Whatever air blows in a poultry
house must blow In over the chickens
Instead cf directly upon them, to In
Bure success. Hens that have been
kept in heated quarters during win
ter seldom If ever produce eggs worth
setting. The IIfo; gorm is cither en
tirely missing, or in too many cases
when It Is there, too weak to hatch.
Iu keeping over breeding turkeys
the question Is often asked, "How
manyhens shall J keep for each
torn?" If you want extra fertility it
Is best to not keep over six hens to
each torn kept. Now and then you
will find turkey breeders claiming to
get good hatches where but one torn
is kept to a dozen or even twenty
hens. This might happen once in a
while, but you must not trust it.
Whore turkeys nro kept in limited
quarters, and you are keeping two
toms and a dozen hens, it i3 best. In
breeding time, to keep one confined
whlloilho other Is in the inclosure,
But whore they have free range, both
toms can go with the flocks, as they
usually separate, and each torn, with
his lot of hens, goes his own way. I.

K.vpcricnre With Millet.
Occasionally I see a short notice of
millet, but no one seems to take much
Interest in the crop. I believe it is
unjustly condemned. Let me give
my experience In millet raising and
feeding. In the spring of 1900 my
meadows were foul and short. I
needed the hay and looked for a crop
to fill the meadow's place. I chose
millet; plowed up tho ten-acre
meadow the first of June, sowed it to
millet and cut It the last of Septem
ber, and am well pleased with the re
sult. I broke this field immediately
and sowed to rye. Next June I
plowed this rye under and sowed
to millet, cut the millet and plowed
and sowed to rye again, followed with
clover. This oft plowing killed the
foulness in the field.
I changed to other fields with the
sam8 practice and had good results.
For nine years I have kept this up.
This season I had twenty acres in
millet. I now have twenty acres In
rye to plow under next June for mil
let. It is a good way to kill the foul
ness of meadows. I do not believe it
is as exhaustive on the soil as timothy
or oats. The millet gives me a chance
to plow under a rysv crop for green
manure. As a feed it is strengthen
ing. Stock relish it and fatten on it.
I have never seen any bad effects from
it. I feed It to my work horses
lining manger every nlgjit all they
will eat. I cut it when seed is ripe
and shatters out. It is bitter it cut
green stock do not relish It. Let it
get ripe.
My farm records show that 1 sow
from the 8th to 28th of June and
cut from September 15th to October
4th. As an experiment I sowed July
23, 1907. It grew two to three feet
high, headed out good; frost bit it
and I plowed it under for green
manure. The expense for seed and
plowing is paid by the extra amount
of hay obtained. I covered one piece
thinly with manure and the stalks
grew four feet and heads eight inches
long. I get the ground in good con
dition for the seed, then sow two to
three pecks per acre by hand. I am
well satisfied with, this plan, work
and crop. Would recommend it to
farmers. I put the ground in good
condition to receive the seed of any
crop. W. R. Williams, in the In
