BRIGADE TROPHY Rules to Govern in Determining the Efficiency of Organizations of National Guard for the Purpose of Award. The following circular letter regarding rules governing the award of the brigade trophy to be contested for by companies of the First brigade have been forwarded from the adjutant general's office: A trophy shall be competed for until such time as any one organization shall have won it three times. It is not contemplated that the winnings shall be consecutive. Attendance—To be determined by an average of two assemblages, one of which is to be the annual inspection and muster, and the other the occasion of a visit of the commanding general of the brigade or an inspector. This visit to be made at some time during the year between the dates of the annual inspection and muster, and without prior notification of such visits to any organization. Only such men as are actually drilling will be considered present. Discipline—This to include promptness in every respect and the celerity with which the different exercises required by the inspector are conducted; also the intelligent display of proper respect to superiors under all conditions which may be presented and the general decorum in and about the armories. Military Appearance—Under this subject will be considered condition of arms; condition of equipment; condition of clothing. Such organizations as depend entirely upon enlisted men for the care of arms without the assistance of an armorer or janitor will be allowed ten extra credits or points. Letter From Hitchcock The following letter has been received by Rufus P. Jennings, the active officer of the California Promotion committee, from Secretary the Interivr E. A. Hitchcock response to the invitation sent by Promotion committee asking secretary to visit California to tigate the possibilities of irritation in the state: "I am in receipt of your letter on the 8th instant extending my invitation on behalf of the California Promotion committee, that I visit your state, at such time as be most convenient to me, view of making personal invitation of the needs for, and petitions of, irrigation to be found and in reply, beg to say that I would give me greater pleasure from which I would derive profit, as I am deeply interested what concerns the state of California and its good people, but especially in matters relating to irrigation. The results already complished through private corporate enterprise in the irrigation and reclamation are touching, and you may be sure nothing will be left undone part of the department that further such interests so may not only to the state of California but to the whole country at large." Military Appearance—Under this subject will be considered condition of arms; condition of equipment; condition of clothing. Such organizations as depend entirely upon enlisted men for the care of arms without the assistance of an armorer or janitor will be allowed ten extra credits or points. Instruction—(1) The existence of a thorough method for the instruction of the recruit. In connection with this subject, it is not intended to rely upon the statement of commanding officers. It will devolve upon the inspector to determine this by a careful investigation in the proper direction. (2) Evidence that schools for non-commissioned officers have been regularly held and that the instruction thereat has been thorough. This also to be determined by careful investigation on the part of the inspector and not upon the statement of commanding officers. (3) Instruction in advance and rear guard and in outpost duty, to be determined in the same manner as in the foregoing instances. Further rules include drill and guard duty; small arms practice; field exercises; administration, and coast artillery. Poultry and Dairying The greatest opportunity exists for special development of the poultry and dairy industries in California, says a bulletin of the California Promotion committee. It is urged upon the farming people of the state to look into these industries for the profit to be obtained therefrom. California is spending millions of dollars every year for poultry and eggs and eastern states are reaping the benefit from the laxity of California's citizens. In the past twelve months more than $3,000,000 was sent east for eggs alone, while the money expended in the Middle West for chickens and turkeys to supply the California market probably exceeded that spent for eggs. California is especially adapted for poultry farms in all parts of the state and so on admirable. The California Quail The California quail is generally dispersed over California below altitude of 8000 feet and extends southern Oregon and western vada. This name is used here to cover both the typical Californiquail—Lophortyx californicus—the paler, more southerly called the valley quail—L. c. cola. It has been introduced Washington and British Columbia and efforts to introduce it into Hawaiian Islands also have proved very successful, although of years its numbers there have much reduced by the mongoose which in time it is likely to be terminated. Two geographic forms of the birds are recognized, a form and a light one, but as they not differ in habits they are not distinguished in the following access. It is a beautiful bird with a pleasing combination of colors markings, its head being adorned with a glossy black crest, narrow at base and gradually widening gracefully recurring plumes, and markings on the underparts sembling scales. It frequents benefit from the laxity of California's citizens. In the past twelve months more than $3,000,000 was sent east for eggs alone, while the money expended in the Middle West for chickens and turkeys to supply the California market probably exceeded that spent for eggs. California is especially adapted for poultry farms in all parts of the state, and as an adjunct to the income from farms of all kinds, and especially fruit farms, there is nothing that brings in more ready money than chickens. It takes little capital to start when the farm is already going, and the profits are certain and constant. Hundreds of people who are now living on small farms of ten acres or less could make a good living if they would turn their attention to the raising of poultry. What is true of poultry is also true of dairying. The prevailing prices of milk and butter in California are such that any man who goes into the business, even on a small scale, can make good profit. California's climate is especially a dairying climate. The cattle can spend 365 days every year out of doors, and the feed is better than it is to be found anywhere else in the world. The demand for California butter during the winter months when everything is green in California is so great that it cannot be supplied, and New York It is a beautiful bird with a pleasing combination of colors, markings, its head being adorned with a glossy black crest, narrow at base and gradually widening gracefully recurring plumes, and markings on the underparts sembling scales. It frequents covered hillsides, canyons, thick along water courses and the borders of roads, as well as vineyards other cultivated fields. The nesting season varies considerably according to locality and conditions. According to E. A. Mesters it nests in March and April in Watura county, Cal. Nests contain eggs were found during the last week of May in Tulare county, Cal., by E. McLellan. The eggs usually number 12 to 15, and are white buff, with spots. These birds take kindly to civilization and flocks are not rarely seen in the suburbs of large towns, where they range through the gardens and orchards. They often nest close to farm buildings, and W. Otto Emerson states that a pair nested within a rod of his front door, though nearly every hour people and vehicles were passing within four feet of the nest.

This quail is even more confiding than the bobwhite, and frequently comes about farm buildings to eat with the chickens. It has been known to lay in confinement, and appears to yield readily to semi-domestication. The valley quail has acquired the interesting habit of posting sentinels when feeding, which is described in detail by John J. Williams. Mr. Williams observed a flock enter a field and begin to feed, while a sentinel took his position in a peach tree and scanned the country about for danger. Presently he was relieved by a second bird, who took up a position on a brush pile and a little later was relieved by a third, who kept guard while the other two fed with the flock. Writing in 1891, Clark B. Streator says that about 100,000 are sold each year in the San Francisco market. It is not a perfect game bird, for it does not lie well to a dog, and when once flushed has a habit of running that is exasperating to sportsmen. The best way to hunt these birds is to keep the dog at heel and to run down the birds. This is likely to make them take wing and to break up the covey. The same result may be accomplished also by discharging the gun in the air. When a covey has been scattered in suitable cover they will lie well enough to a trained dog to give the hunter considerable sport, though it is poor in comparison with that afforded by the bob-white. The beauty of this quail, its pleasant call notes, and its confidence in man make it a favorite except Anaheim, Cal. Pitkin's Guaranteed for t painting barns, roofs California Quail California quail is generally over California below an 1000 feet and extends into Oregon and western New Hampshire. It is used here to the typical California tortyx californicus—and more southerly form, valley quail—L. c. vallii—been introduced into British Columbia. It introduce it into the lands also have proved useful, although of late timers there have been by the mongoose, by which it is likely to be extinct. Two geographic forms are recognized, a dark night one, but as they do not inhabit the following account, a ful bird with a most distinction of colors and head being adorned by crest, narrow at the head and widening into curring plumes, and the underparts resembling brush up the covey. The same result may be accomplished also by discharging the gun in the air. When a covey has been scattered in suitable cover they will lie well enough to a trained dog to give the hunter considerable sport, though it is poor in comparison with that afforded by the bob-white. The beauty of this quail, its pleasant call notes, and its confidence in man make it a favorite, except where it damages the grape crop. In fall and winter where it is abundant, hundreds of birds unite in great flocks. Bendire, writing in 1892, says that within a decade flocks of 500 were often found, but that at that time coveys even of fifty were very rare in most places. In the fall of 1891 they were still very abundant on the west side of the San Joaquin valley, where E. W. Nelson of the biological survey, records their slaughter by pot hunters. The hunters stationed themselves behind a brush blind near the one spring where the birds came to drink. Thousands of them flocked there for water and during the day, and by waiting until many birds were bunched the hunters killed at least a score at each discharge of the gun. In a week of this butchery 8400 of the birds were killed. A record of 525 birds to four guns in a day in February, 1903, near San Diego, this state, shows that birds are still quite abundant there. Subtraction. A teacher in a western public school was giving her class the first lesson in subtraction. "Now, in order to subtract," she explained, "things have to be always of the same denomination. For instance, we couldn't take three apples from four pears or six horses from nine dogs." A hand went up in the back part of the room. "Teacher," shouted a small boy, "can't you take four quartes of milk from three cows?"—Harper's Weekly. With the Ring on It. Grayce—Edythe is pretty foxy.
