WESTERN BEEF Finding a Good Market in the Eastern States Western beef is coming into its own. Not over a decade ago eastern buyers purchased range-bred steers only when they were unable to fill their feed pens from other sources, and usually offered a much lower price for this class of stock than they were willing to pay for that secured from other places. Experience has taught these buyers, however, that western range-bred cattle are usually in the very best of health. They have a splendid frame upon which to build, are well muscled and boned, and being accustomed to the rigers of the western climate, continue to put on flesh in the east ern feed pens when cattle from other sections, being fed under identical conditions, are losing flesh on account of the inclement weather conditions. This western steer only demands that he be given plenty of good fresh water and sufficient feed so that he may never be hungry and he will always give a good account of himself and return many dollars in profits to the feeder when he is sold for the block in the spring. These steers shed early under favorable conditions and when they have reached the stockyards they show an exterior finish that other cattle lacking the same health and ruggedness, fail to show. This makes the western steers ready selling on the market, and after they have been butchered the percentage of the weight of the dressed carcass over that of other steers under the same conditions is so perceptible as to immediately attract the attention of those keen... A PRIMER ON EXPLOSIVES Coal Miner's Manual Issued by the Geological Survey In continuance of its efforts to reduce the number of fatal accidents in American coal mines, the United States Geological Survey has just issued a primer for the benefit of miners and others who have anything to do with explosives. The primer, which is written in plain, non-technical language, describes how and of what materials explosives are made, points out the dangers in their use, and shows how these may be avoided or reduced to a minimum. The improper use of explosives in coal mines is doubtless the cause of many deaths that are attributed to other agencies. Vigorous objection is made to the use of black powder in any mine where there is danger of a gas or coal-dust explosion. The operators and miners in such mines are urged to use explosives that have been tested at the Survey's mine accidents station at Pittsburg, Pa., and placed on the "permissible" list. Investigations at this station have proved that the flame from the explosion of black powder lasts from 2500 to 3500 times as long as the flame from the newer explosives and is therefore more likely to ignite gas or dust in mines. The use of explosives is increasing both in quantity and in the variety of purposes to which they are applied. They are now made at 150 plants in different parts of the country, and the product of a single year is now nearly 500,000,000 pounds. Of all this material no explosive is safe in the hands of a careless or ignorant person, whether it is used in mining or otherwise. Statistics re... These steers shed early under favorable conditions and when they have reached the stockyards they show an exterior finish that other cattle lacking the same health and ruggedness, fail to show. This makes the western steers ready selling on the market, and after they have been butchered the percentage of the weight of the dressed carcass over that of other steers under the same conditions is so perceptible as to immediately attract the attention of those keen, far-sighted men who handle the yard end of the business. The settlement of the west is rapidly reducing the amount of available range and is forcing the cattle to go higher and higher into the hills in search of forage. This is greatly increasing the importance of freely utilizing the ranges within the National Forests, and every endeavor is being made by the Forest Service to open hitherto inaccessible ranges by the construction of trails and bridges, and unused arid ranges by the development of water. In these higher elevations the grass is usually much finer in quality and more nutritious, while the climate is much more rigorous; both of which conditions result in the animals being in better health and having more solid flesh when placed on the feeder markets in the fall. This fall has seen large numbers of the range-bred steers, and most of which come from ranges with in National Forests; topping the feeder markets at all points where feeder steers are sold. So great has become the demand for cattle of the quality mentioned that hundreds of stockmen throughout the west are selling their bunches of stock cattle and are beginning to handle steers exclusively. On the old ranges where a few years ago one was accustomed to see large herds of cows and calves, you will find today equally larges bunches entirely of steers, some of which may perhaps have come from Old Mexico some from Texas, while Arizona and New Mexico usually furnish their quota. These steers are brought into these western ranges at from eighteen months to two years old. They become acclimated the first year, while in the second and third years they become sufficiently mature so that they may be taken to market. The demand for cattle of this kind is greater than the supply, and as in all other cases where the demand is greater than the supply the price re- SCHOOL STATISTICS Number of Teachers and Pupils in State Show Increase Sacramento, Dec. 16.—The latest school statistics, compiled under the direction of the superintendent of public instruction, are as follows: some from Texas, while Arizona and New Mexico usually furnish their quota. These steers are brought into these western ranges at from eighteen months to two years old. They become acclimated the first year, while in the second and third years they become sufficiently mature so that they may be taken to market. The demand for cattle of this kind is greater than the supply, and as in all other cases where the demand is greater than the supply the price received on sale must constantly increase. That this is true of the steer business, one can easily ascertain by conversation with any one of the western stockmen who make this a business. They will tell you that they have made more money in the last two or three years in handling the steers than they made in ten years in handling strictly stock cattle. PLANNING $2,000,000 SCHOOL OF FARMING New York, Dec. 17.—Columbia university is planning the establishment of a $2,000,000 school of farming. A committee of professors, which has been wrestling with the preliminary problems presented by the plan, announces that the course of study will occupy two years. Classroom instruction will be given only from Oct. 1 to April 1, the remainder of the year being devoted to work in the field. For the purposes of the school, the committee thinks that it will be necessary to acquire between 1000 and 2000 acres of land within a reasonable distance of New York City. To purchase this, to erect buildings and to stock and equip the institution will require about $1,500,000. The committee believes that the financial returns for those properly trained in agricultural work are so large that many persons, who now struggle along on small salaries in the city, may feel impelled to study practical farming. SCHOOL STATISTICS Number of Teachers and Pupils in State Show Increase Sacramento, Dec. 16.—The latest school statistics, compiled under the direction of the superintendent of public instruction, are as follows: The total number of teachers in California is 10,769, of which number 9303 are women and 1466 are men. There are 9100 teachers in the elementary schools (grades 1 to 8), of which 8200 are women and 900 are men. The number in the kindergarten schools is 179—all women. The number in the high schools is 1490 (924 women; 566 men.) Of the total number of teachers the men form 13 per cent; of the elementary teachers the percentage of men is a trifle less than 10 per cent. The total number of pupils in the schools is 351,145; boys 180,481; and girls 170,664. The enrollment in the high school is 34,298; boys 15,-386, girls 18,912. Elementary schools—Boys 162,321, girls 148,768; total, 311,089. Kindergarten—Boys 2774, girls 2984; total, 5758. The girls outnumber the boys in the high schools, but the number of boys in the elementary grades is greater than the number of girls. Nearly 89 per cent of the enrollment is in the elementary grades. Not quite ten per cent is to be found in the high school. The kindergarten enrollment is a little more than 1.5 per cent of the total. The expenditures for the last fiscal year were as follows: Kindergartens $131,048, elementary $12,734,320.87, high schools $3,119,-886.36; total, $15,985,255.23. Dividing the expenditures so given by the proper enrollment, the cost ANAHEIM GAZETTE of education per pupil is as follows: Per Year—In the kindergarten $22.75, in the elementary grades $40.93, in the high school, $90.96. On the whole the cost of education per child per year is $45.52. Valuation of School Property—Kindergarten $14,955, elementary $30,718,-246, high school $7,933,560; total—$38,666,761. Orphans' Homes—There are 42 orphans' homes in California which receive state aid. These homes cared for 5791 children last year. The state contributed directly to their support $70,332.11 last year, and in addition contributed indirectly through boards of supervisors the sum of $116,433.77 to this cause. A CASE OF WINE Causes Consternation at a Stockton Winery The mistake of a shipping clerk at George West and Sons winery at Stockton the other day caused quite a consternation in the big winery and among the friends of the employes. It has been the custom each year, shortly before Christmas, to donate $5 in cash to the naval department of Y.M.C.A. in San Francisco. A letter was received at the office of George West and Sons thanking the firm in advance for the usual donation. One of the office employees, not being familiar with the former procedure, notified the shipping-clerk and accordingly a fine case of wine was prepared and sent to the wharf for shipment to San Francisco. One of the officials of this winery happened to be at the wharf on some other business and noticing a case of wine being sent to the San Francisco WILD WALNUTS TAMED Experiments Show Grafting Proves Successful Under the direction of G. H. Hutton, an expert in horticultural affairs is now at work among the wild walnut trees of Mandeville Canyon, near Santa Monica, grafting onto them sections from the English walnut trees of commerce. This work is being done as the result of experiments that have been carried on with success during the past three years in connection with the native trees of Pacolma wash in the San Fernando valley country. Three seasons ago the first experiments were made. Generous sections were cut from the paper-shell walnut trees that yielded abundant crops in this section of the country. These were engrafted onto the native trees that flourish in the canyons, with the result that the cultivated shoots made very rapid growth and are today developing nuts of excellent quality and fine flavor. The nuts produced by the grafted trees are of good size, regular in outline and equal to those grown on other trees. The success of the experiment promises to add materially to the resources of the mountain and canyon sections, as there are thousands of the native trees whose output today consists of inferior nuts that command scant attention in any market.

One of the office employees, not being familiar with the former procedure, notified the shipping-clerk and accordingly a fine case of wine was prepared and sent to the wharf for shipment to San Francisco. One of the officials of this winery happened to be at the wharf on some other business and noticing a case of wine being sent to the San Francisco naval Y.M.C.A. was greatly surprised. After an investigation he withdrew the wine and ordered the usual cash donation substituted. LEAKY EGGS Acids Are Dangerous Preservatives for Them Dr. W. F. Snow, secretary of the State Board of Health, admits he does not know much about the chemistry or physiology of the egg, but he is pretty sure it is dangerous to preserve hen fruit with boric acid, because the shell is porous and leaks like a watering trough on a county road. This upsets the notion many people have entertained that an egg is solid. They all thought that because the yolk and white did not leak out, nothing would leak in. Now science comes along at this late day and shows that an egg-shell is just as liable to sink as any other thing with holes in it, if set on the waves. Everyone of these little pores seen outside is a hole. Pure food inspectors are making a campaign against "cold storage" eggs, preserved by injurious acids. CALIFORNIA BANKS The combined resources of California's 249 savings banks, 365 commercial banks and 14 trust companies, at the close of business Nov. 16, amounted to $605,699,617, according to the report of the state superintendent of banks. The paid-in capital stock of the savings banks reached a total of $21,000,000 while the loans on real estate alone amounted to $203,000,000. Undivided profits of all banks in the state amounted to $18,559,110.
