LICK OBSERVATORY.
IT CONTAINS THE GREATEST TEL¬
ESCOPE IN THE WORLD.
Its Eccentric Founder's Bomantic Lovs
Affair,
The traveler who visits California
should not fail to go to San Jose and
take the delightful ride up Mount
Hamilton. There be will sec the
famous Lick Observatory, with its
great telescope, the largest in tho
world. From Hnn .lose to the top of
the mountain is a distance of twenty-
seven miles, but the easiest mountain
ride l ever bad the. good fortune to
take.
James Lick bequeathed $050,000 for
the building of the observatory. It
stands on the top of Mount Hamilton,
the rock summit of which was leveled
down over 200 feet to give suitable
standing room for the necessary build¬
ings. The diameter of tlie great dome
of the observatory proper is seventy-
five feet. It is made of steel plates
and weighs 180 tons, yet by the turn¬
ing of a little wheel the dome in noise¬
lessly moved so that its window opens
to any part of the sky that is desired.
The telescope is fifty-six and a half
feet long and weighs twenty-four tons,
yetis so poised that it can be movedtc
point in any direction by the turning
of a wheel or by placing your hand on
the lower cud of the telescope. The
entire floor of tlie observatory can lie
lowered or i’fted a distance of seven¬
teen feet, so (hat the observer may sit
in bis wheeled chair and follow the
moving telescope fiom tho zenith tc
the horizon.
Under the massive iron pier 'sup¬
porting the te.escopc James Lick is
buried. There is a little romance and
“a woman in the case” that brought
James to this magnificent resling
place. Below him stretches the beau¬
tiful valley of Santa Clara, inclosed on
the west by a range of low bills cov¬
ered with orchard and vine and be¬
yond the great ocean; to the east and
southeast the snowy tops of the Sierra
Nevada range glitter in the sunlight,
although they are over 140 miles
away.
James, when a boy, worked in a mill
in Pennsylvania, and fell in love with
bis employer’s daughter. He asked
for the band of his beloved, but wai
informed by the stern father (bat $18
per month was far below his daughter’!
ambition.
James replied that if the girl would
have him they would marry without
his consent, but after time for reflec¬
tion the girl came to her father's view
and James left in disgust, assuring
the old gentleman that bo would yet
own a mill, the hopper of which should
coat more than his entire plant.
James went to South America;
made $40,000 in milling; came with
his money to California in 1846;
bought land in San Francisco and else¬
where in the state and became one of
the first and greatest of California’s
millionaires.
Tart of his property was a mill of
the greatest magnificence, with a hop¬
per made of every variety of expen¬
sive wood, highly polished and inlaid.
Ho had the mill photographed, ex¬
terior and interior, but especially the
hopper, and sent copies to his former
employer, llis lady love had married
in the meantime, but James remained
single and left all bis millions to edu¬
cational and charitable purposes.
Lot me give you a few figures that
will show the relative size of the
great Lick telescope. The “light-
grasping power” of (lie four largest
telescopes in (lie world as follows:
Washington telescope, area 55i sqnare
inche*,
Vienna telescope, nren 573 square inches.
Russia telescope, area 706 square inches.
Lick telescope, area 1018 square inches.
The width of the great lens in the
Lick telescope is thiry-six inches;
that of the Russia telescope is twenty-
seven inches. 1 bad supposed that in
the grinding of one of these powerful
lenses the most perfect evenness of
graduation would bo secured, but, on
the contrary, there are in the great
lens in the Lick telescope places where
depres-ions of one-eight of nn inch are
made to counteract the differing dens¬
ity of the glass, which could be de¬
termined only by the eye of the finish¬
er, who uses the hand and the eye al¬
ternately.— [Detroit Free Press.
Another Festival Lost.
“The new president of Columbia
College is a reek’esi innovator and
iconoclast,” asserts the New York
Mercury, “and the boys and girls who
dwell in fashionable localities aro
ready to scoro him unmercifully. He
has decreed that there shall be no
more speeches hv graduates on Com¬
mencement Day, no lovely Latiu
6alutatories and heart-breaking vale¬
dictories, no showers of bouquets and
pyramids of blossoms, no chance for
tie new bachelor of arts to fire bis
eloquence into tlie rosebud garden of
girls at his feet—nothing but a tame
and conventional conferring of de¬
grees, music and a benediction. Thus
the old gods are overthrown, the
ancient festivals are abolished, the
crowns of myrtle and laurel become
dust and the business idea ‘knocks the
stuffing’ out of the dead languages-
There is nothing ieft but to tender
our respectful sympathies to the hoys
and offer to ween with the srirls.”
FOIl FARM AMD BARDEN.
Ot TWIT SITU HENS.
The egg eating habit in hens nifty be
cured by outwiting them. Build the
nests iu such a way that the bens can¬
not get at tho eggs, such as nail kegs
stood on ciul, half filled with hay or
straw, then tho ben cannot reach it
when standing on the edge. Another
way is to make nests in dark places
where tlie hen can see to go into the
nests, but not after she gets there.
Feed plenty of crushed oyster shells so
ns to make the eggshells bard. When
liens are at liberty to have plenty of
exercise they are less liable to contract
this habit than when kept in confine¬
ment.— [Farm and Home.
TKANSI’I.ANTING I.AKGP. TREKS.
An English forester who claims to
have bad large experience says:
‘•Sonic time ago I was surprised to
find that those trees which lmd been
dug round hikI lifted the same season,
and general 1 }’ the same day as dug
loui.d, were growing b tier than moit
of those that lind been previously
prepared. The only principle upon
which this can be accounted for is
that the one check, sudden though it
be, is less injurious to the trees than
the two checks, with an interval be¬
tween. If a tree growing upon a dry
open soil and in full vigor be dug care¬
fully round, and removed forthwith to
other suitable soil and set, the roots, cut,
bruised and mutilated though they be,
will heal up and recover better than if
(be operation had been performed a(
two separate periods, as commonly
practiced and genera.lv recommenil-
9(1.”
IIOW TO lilsow ROOT CROP.
The greatest trouble in growing a
crop of roots, viz., the singling of (lie
plants, is avoided by this method: Tlie
seed is sown in rows twenty-seven to
thirty inches apart with a hand garden
drill, which drops and covers the seed
and rolls the ground, leaving a plain
mark. For beets and mangels four
to six pounds of seed are sown per
acre. As soon as t he young plants are
up, the drill is change.1 to a hand cul¬
tivator and net to cut ten inches Avide.
This is run across the rows so ns to
cut out the plants and weeds, leaving
bunches three or four inches wide
across the rows. If there are any va¬
cancies plants arc picked up by ahoy
following and transplanted to fill tho
vacancies.
The horse hoc is then run along die
wide rows as close as possible to the
plants, and when necessary, the hand
cubivator is used again on the cross
rows. Iu this way the plants and
weeds may grow together until the
former are well rooted, when the
weeds may be cut out with a very
sharp hoe. If two plants are growing
very close together, they should not be
disturbed, as they will make good
roots, anil to pull up one xvill cheek
the other. All others nrc cut out with
(lie weeds. Tho ground should be in
good condition and tilth, and made
tine and mellow before planting.—
[New York Times.
OSAGE ORANGE HEDGES.
Tlie hedges one sees in passing over
llie country are, many of them, con¬
structed—or grown—-on a wrong
principle. They are close and thick
at a height of three or four feet,
where closeness is not required, and
at the surface they are open enough
lo allow free passage to the pigs.
They havebecn allowed to grow im-
til 't became apparent that tliev would
soon be out of reach und become a
nuisance wiihout some attention, and
then they were rut down, not to the
ground, as they ought to have been,
but to what was considered a p-oper
height for a hedge.
Now is the time to right this, before
growth begins. If cut down now to
within one or two inches of the sur¬
face a groat, many sprouts will spring
up at once and make such a hedge as
no animal larger than a very small
rabbit can get through.
There need be no fear of hurting
the hedge. The vitality of the osage
orange is so strong that it often endures
what is ten times more trying, viz.,
p:lining in July or August—a very
i i ij n dieioit s j in iceed ing.
After cutting down as above the
growth should he allowed to go on at
will all summer; then if thick enough
below the cutting may he made next
spring at the proper height.
After this it will require a little
pruning twice a year—in Julie, when
the young growth is rs soft as cheese,
cutting this soft new growth (the top
only) with a quick, horizontal cut, a
sharp corn-cutter being a good imple¬
ment for the purpose—then again in
spring at tlie usual time, pruning more
ar less as may bo required, and thus
Jit. keeping the hedge in good condi¬
tion and under complete control.
This double pruning, it will be un¬
derstood, is crippling, so to speak, but
it is judicious crippling, and without
this the hedge becomes unmanageable
ind a nuisance—[National Stockman.
l lTLItE OF HOUSE BREEDING.
Most farmers, however small thrir
farms may he, have one or more brood
trares from which in add'tiou to doing
their part of the farm work, oeca-
sionally raise a colt “just to keep up
ti e supply of horses on tho firm.”
The time lias come when farmers as
well as those engaged in most other
kinds of business, have n strong com¬
petition in every bran oil of their busi¬
ness.
It is a deplorable fact that n groat
many fanners do not lake tlie trouble
to inform themselves ns to wliat is
going on in this busy world of ours.
There are many Jartn homes into
which a paper never conies, the own¬
ers being satisfied to plod wearily
along with no other aim than to ac¬
complish as much work as possible
eacli day.
If any farmer, instead of romplain<>
ing about the “hard times’* and every¬
thing overdone, will take the trouble
to count the horses that arc necessary
to carry on tie farms within a radius
of say two miles, we venture to say
he will be surprised at the number.
When we realize the extent of our
country, the demand for all classes of
good horses in our great and constant¬
ly growing cities, the supply of which
is continually being renewed, can we
have any misgivings as lo the future
of horse breeding providing our aim
is improvement.
The French Coach breed, alt bough
hut recently introduced by importation
from Franco, is destined to become a
prime factor in tho improvement of
our native breeds.
They are the result of two hundred
years of judicious breeding under the
direct supervision of the French gov¬
ernment, ti e siarting point of which
was the Arab and Barb horse, which
history tells us were man’s compan¬
ions as well ns servants. They are the
same intelligent, active, courageous
animals they were two hundred years
ago and (lifter with them only us re¬
gards size. They have been bred
larger, the object of which was to in¬
crease their usefulness. They now
range in size from 1200 to 1400
pounds. They are the trotting breed
in France where they have very good
records considering the distance,
which is generally 2 8-4 miles. As
they are larger (ban onv trotters, they
can not hope to gain as low a record
as some of them, but in their native
country are tested more for endurance
which is considered of more impor¬
tance.
In the comparatively few sections
of the country in which they liaye
been introduced, they arc giving ex¬
cellent satisfaction among the farmers
and Ireeders, especially in the Eastern
and Middle states, where they arc ad¬
mirably adapted to supply all demands
for a horse that will weigh upon an
average 1150 to 1300 lbs. There is a
demand for carriage horses that far
exceeds the supply, and if we can get
a breed of general purpose, farmers’
horses that will supply this demand,
wliat need have we to look farther.

FARM ANI) GARDEN NOTES.
The difficulty of keeping up fertility
of light sandy soils under a system of
cropping with grain lias led and will
continue to lead farmers owning such
lands to devote them more to fruit¬
growing.
If you have a particularly fine plant
of tomatto which shows qualities ahead
of (lie rest, save the seed, but if you
have a greenhouse do not depend on
keeping it pure in this way, but late in
the month strike cuttings from it and
winter over in a cool greenhouse.
Buy your trees and have them de¬
livered in the Fall, and then heel them
in. This will he found much the bet¬
ter plan, while (ho additional cost is
very small, being only the interest on
the money and Ibo work of heeling
them in.
When you have had a long, hard
day at plowing, come home late and
find that your wife has done tho even¬
ing milking, nothing will rest her
tired and aching back more (lmn your
arm about her waist, anil the few
words you whisper iu her err—just
such words as you used (o say to her
before you were married.
Bolling the meadows before tlie soil
becomes dry will help the grass. Roll¬
ing the plowed land will save one har¬
rowing and pulverize the soil as the
burrowing cannot do. Rolling the
grain fields after sowing clover may
insure a good catch of c’over and set¬
tle the soil about the roots heaved out
by the frost. The roller is one of the
best tools a farmer has.
How to Keep the Bed Trout Rocking.
Lieutenant Beale of (he Signal Ser¬
vice, says that if parties who are dis¬
turbed by wliat is termed “recking
beds” in the time of storms will open
the windows of their houses on what
sailors term the “leeward side," that
is to say, of tho side opposite to that
whence the storm comes, they will not
bo troubled with it. “The rocking is
the result,” be explains, “of a difler-
enee between the air indoors and that
on the outside. When a bigger puff
comes tho bed, forced by the air with¬
in, which seeks to join that out-doors,
moves in one direction and is forced
back when tho putt becomes lighter.
Relieve the pressure by opening the
windows, and this so-called rocking
ceases. Many a house that lias been
blown down in a tornado would have
been spared its owner had this fact
been known. Tlie proof of what I
say as to this pressure is shown in the
fact that houses after great storms are
frequently found wi.h the leeward
wall only blown out and the other
three remaining intact.—[Chicago

Half Heron, Half Stork.
The London Zoological Gardens
have just received several specimens
of the umbretta, which has not been
exhibited since the year 1884. It is,
however, fairly common throughout
the Cape Colony and other parts of
Africa, and extends its range to Mada¬
gascar. It is one of those birds which
lias proved a difficulty to the 6ystc-
matist, for it does not fit accurately
into any classificatory schema. It is
half a heron and half a stork, with a
general appearance which is unlike
that of either. On the whole, its
structure comes nearer to the heron,
and it has the rather melancholy de¬
meanor of that bird. It lives upon
fish and frogs. Curiously enough, it
is looked upon by some of the natives
of both Africa and Madagascar as a
bird of evil augury.
In Africa it is held to be sacred and
to possess the power of witchcraft.
There is something portentous and
solemn about the behavior of all these
herons and bitterns, wlfcli easily ac¬
counts for the origin of these legends
Occasionally tlie umbretta relaxes the
severity of its demeanor and executes
a fantastic dance with outspread
wings. It is also a bird of refined and
(esthetic tastes, which are not shared
by its immediate kinsmen, the herons
and storks. It adorns its nest with
buttons, fragments of pottery, bits of
glass, and any other bright-looking
objects which come in its way. The
nest itself is enormous—nearly six
feet across—and its interior divided
into three chambers. This is a luxury,
especially as it cnlv lays two eggs and
does not take in any lodgers, such as
cuckoos.—[London News.
