(4) proper spraying. The last is
a specific against potato blight and potato

A Horse Pacing: Without a Driver.
While roaming through the north' ^
western part of Wisconsin in August, 'be
pays a writer in the Chicago Times- Pr
Herald, I was driven one day to the
race track of the county fair grounds Pn
by a clergyman. For two long hours
we watched the track through torrid ^or
heat and clouds of dust. A small por? 001
tion of the course was crowded most 8^J
of the time with horses engaged ir Pn
abortive efforts to get squarely away, ^he
T told mv friend that it was becoming
rather tiresome and asked why he re- aci
mained bo long. "Well," he said, *0TI
"we're all waiting to see the event 01
the day, and if you're patient it will
come off all right."
It was worth waiting for. "The *9
event of the day" was the running of
Albatross, the horse trained by his *ai
owner, J. "W. Quinn, the well-known
starting judge, to go at pacing speed "
around the course, without breaking
his gait and without a guide, rider or ,
driver. Whan the patience of the ,,
crowd was nearly exhausted Albatross *
appeared before the judge's stand, ,
decked with ribbons and apparently
in the best of humor and condition. v
No sulky was attached. He followed
his owner like a well-trained dog. A i
few straps connected the sDaffle and ju
bodyband to keep the animal from jn
wabbling, but there was nothing to ^
seriously interfere with his breaking sa]
into a gallop if he should "have the co
mind to." In due time Quinn led him
at the pace for 200 yards before he en
reached t^e starter, and at the word gf
"Go!" the owner's hand dropped from
the headgear and the animal got wal) $3
away. _ an
At full speed, just as if urged by ^o
whip and voice, the beautiful horse gg
kept in his course right in the middle
of the track, without varying . a foot Sy
on either side. I was in a carriage
close to the grand stand and watched en
him carefully as he "came home." It
was a magnificent illustration of what ?7
can be accomplished by discipline,
Here.was a horse whose every instinct gj
prompted him to go wild and break
into a gallop. The cheers andurgiugg p0
of a vast crowd incited him to go at
his highest speed. But as he came
tearing along with his head straight
out from the shoulders, dilated nos- ?e
trils, foaming mouth, heaving chest "
and quivering flanks we saw that the
natural laws of animal movement had
been temporarily suspended or rendered
subservient to the law imposed M
by human will and. intelligence. ho

California Fruit Faring. ^
"It is only since the year 1890 that ba
the people of California have shipped at
their fruit to the New York and Phil
adelphia markets :in any large quanti- ba
ties, but California fruit has found its It

"California fruit has acquired a Wl
world-wide reputation on account of la
its size, shape, color and flavor. The
largest fruit farm probably in the
world is that of the late ex-Senatoi ki
Stanford. It contains 35,000 acres, or
and the grapes raised and the wines J1
made there bring in not less than $75, ?
000 a year. Ex-Governor Bidwell has H

Some of the cherry trees on this prop- ^
erty have been growing for twenty-five
years, and the branches form a circle
at least sixty feet in diameter. Not lt
more than a dozen such trees can be it
profitably grown on an acre of land on =
account of their immense size and the K
lack of room. I have seen ?174 worth ?
of cherries picked from one of the I
Bidwell trees, and cases are well au- \
thenticated where cherries to the value i
of $200 and over have been gathered f
from a single tree on other fruit farms. E
A. full crop of cherries from the Bid- 1
well orchard will bring its owner any- Jk
where from ?30,000 to ?35,000. u
"Just to show you how enormous k
the profits of fruit farming are, a K
friend of mine, the cashier of the ft
Fresno National Bank, owns 325 Iv
acres near Fresno, which he turned M
into a fruit farm seven years ago. His m
wife manages the farm while he at- ~
tends to matters at the bank. Perhaps |
it is due to his wife's able manage- g
ment, perhaps to the fertility of the
soil, but he told me recently that ft
(lis profits this year from 325
acres would be over 810,000 and he I
showed me books; and figures to sub- II

knowing the fertility of some of the ^
California fruit ::arms, have not the ne

Trade Devices on Wheels.
, The forms of various articles of K
common use are now frequently employed
in the lr.rger cities as the pj
bodies of delivery wagons. Wagons aa
made with the body in the semblance ?
of a big trunk may be seen in many .
cities, the delivery wagons of the 1
dealers in trunks and kindred articles.
Perhaps the next most familiar is the wagon
with the body in the form of o I
great hat, the delivery wagon of a hat- _
ter. Another form not unfamiliar is
that of the great shoe, made of metal -%
and mounted on wheels and used as ^
the delivery wagon of a shoe dealer. ^
Like the great hat, the shoe may be ^
painted or all gilded. All cf thesa de- ^
vices have a seat outside in front, and ^
they have a door at the rear end. The ^
shoe is mounted on the running part ^
with the toe in front. The driver's
3eat is over the tip of the shoe or in ^
front of it. The' door by which the j ^
parcels are got in and out of the wagon j ^
is in the heel of the great shoe in the j
back. A wagon used for the delivery : ^
of articles from a laundry has a liody j
in the form of a great wash boiler. ^
Purhaps the latest of these trade de- ^
vices on wheels is shown in a wagon ^
for the delivery of a proprietary arti- i
cle in liquid form. In this case the ^
wagon body is in the shape of a great
bottle.?Pathfindcjr. | ^
