ORANGE DREAM COUNTRY Kansas Editor Writes of Charm of Little Coast County in Golden State Considering that the writer, an editor, addressing his own people, has always looked with deep suspicion on the glowing stories of California, the following from the Glasco (Kansas) Sun may be regarded as one of the most notable conversions in the evangelistic history of the Golden State: Comparing this with Kansas and considering the latter's vociferousness on both extremes of climate, this section appears to me as a dream country. There is absolutely no hostility of weather to differ one day from another, and one has to take a daily paper to keep track of the dates. Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Alnsworth, with their daughter Miss Ina, as chauffeur, took us riding one evening among the walnut groves in their fine automobile. The air was cool, making it a pleasant trip. We ran again through beautiful Santa Ana, the county seat, and returned along the quiet country roads 'neath the overhanging trees in the dusk time. It was a trip very much appreciated by us. When I left Glasco on this jaunt the question troubling me most was: "How in the world will I ever pass a few weeks without employment of any kind?" But this "dream country" quickly dispelled my uneasiness, and an old friend hit the spot squarely when she asked: "Did you ever see a place that could so quickly imbue one with the satisfaction of lying around and doing nothing?" That's my present condition, and I cannot help speculating on how able to point out the exact tree which figured so prominently in the final event. The effect of this dream country is on me and I'm going to quit for a time. Really, I'd rather lie down under this beautiful sky in the shade of some tree, with a screen over my mouth to keep the lucid and accommodating fruit from dropping in, and thereby forcing me to exertion, than write stories. So adieu for the present. L. E. Frankforther. COYOTE-PROOF PASTURE How Colorado Stockmen Protect their Flocks The enclosure of sheep range within a coyote proof fence has been tried in Colorado by F. H. Taylor of Mancos, with highly satisfactory results. An experiment begun by the U. S. Department of Agriculture on the Wallowa national forest, in Oregon, to discover whether sheep could be advantageously pastured within such an enclosure, led Mr. Taylor to give the new method a trial. The outcome is set forth in a letter to the department, as follows: "After reading the description of your coyote-proof fence in Oregon, I constructed a fence to enclose about 500 acres in the same manner. The fence was constructed during the fall of 1908, and in the springs of 1909 and 1910 one thousand head of ewes were lambed in this enclosure." In the vernacular of the herder, "one hundred per cent of the lambs were saved," that is; a lamb to each ewe, "and one man did all the work. I think the per cent of the lambs would WOMEN IN They Take the Husbands A general election the opening of a new political crisis to bring out a fact or so to the dealer in Annapolis"—I mean women, the altogether and influential part public life of England with that of America.

But this "dream country" quickly dispelled my uneasiness, and an old friend hit the spot squarely when she asked: "Did you ever see a place that could so quickly imbue one with the satisfaction of lying around and doing nothing?" That's my present condition, and I cannot help speculating on how gloriously it would fit other Glascolans I know. Orange county has a public park. It is seven miles east of Orange, in the foothills. Different organizations hold picnics there at their pleasure. We got a livery rig and drove out. But we did not stop there. About fifteen miles farther up the same canyon (Santiago) lies what was once Madame Modjeska's country home. Four years ago she sold it to a Long Beach club." We drove on up there. Much of the road lies through the Cleveland forest reserve, which is pastured by sheep and ought to be noted for its production of cactus, greasewood and empty beer bottles. (And, by the way, were beer worth one dollar a bottle, it would be cheaper to bring water here, as 4000 of that may be had for the price.) There is some nice timber on the reserve, but I noticed the finest bunches belong to the county park and the club, leaving a comparatively barren tract which the government has set aside. When we arrived at the ranch of Modjseka fame we found the gate closed and bearing an inscription similar to this: "No strangers allowed." It was a sore disappointment to us, for beyond the stream and through the forest foliage could be caught glimpses of beautiful grounds nestling in the curve of a mountain. However, just as we succeeded in turning in a cramped position for a retracing of our steps, the gate swung open and a smiling, sandy complexioned stranger invited us to hitch the team outside and walk in. He showed us around, and among other things explained that he was an Arkansasawyer, and that the late earthquake shock had injured one of the fountain tanks so the water would not now stand nearer than six inches of the top. This was once no doubt a most beautiful place, but it now shows traces of neglect. In Modjeska's time the keeper had the assistance of four men, but the present owners are "After reading the description of your coyote-proof fence in Oregon, I constructed a fence to enclose about 500 acres in the same manner. The fence was constructed during the fall of 1906, and in the springs of 1909 and 1910 one thousand head of ewes were lambed in this enclosure." In the vernacular of the herder, "one hundred per cent of the lambs were saved," that is; a lamb to each ewe, "and one man did all the work. I think the per cent of the lambs would have been higher, but one animal, presumably a coyote, was inside when the fence was constructed. It was impossible to capture this animal even with hounds. Some of the herders thought the animal was not a coyote, but since coyote tracks were found in several places I am of the opinion that it was. Whatever the animal was it raised its young inside the enclosure." Connecting his loss with the rapacity of this animal, Mr. Taylor says: "A great many of the lambs were killed and a small hole eaten behind the foreleg and the remainder of the carcass was untouched. On the land outside of the enclosure it required the services of three men and a pack of hounds to care for one thousand ewes, and only 95 per cent of the lambs were saved. This per cent could not have been saved without the assistance of the hounds. "I consider this fence a splendid investment since it easily pays for itself in three years. On the other hand, it is often difficult and sometimes impossible to get men during the lambing season. For this reason the money value of the fence can hardly be estimated." The Department of Agriculture entered upon the experiment of enclosing sheep range within a fence which would turn stock destroying animals in the belief that this method would save forage as well as stock and wages. This belief has been fully justified by the results. The Oregon enclosure carried more sheep than an equal area of range of the same quality outside, produced a heavier lamb crop, heavier sheep, and more wool, and at the same time resulted in a better condition of the range itself. These advantages are due to the different behavior of sheep pastured in such an enclosure from that of the sheep herded in the ordinary way. When a band of sheep moves about in charge of a herder, it must be kept from scattering much. As a result much of the forage is wasted through trampling. Within an enclosed area or twenty or so hours or so spent her life organizing charities, bazaars, flowers, social entertainments; she sick and destitute; she institutions of her and nine times outward; is a capable, daring hearted lady.

Any This was once no doubt a most beautiful place, but it now shows traces of neglect. In Modjeska's time the keeper had the assistance of four men, but the present owners are making him do it alone; and since he is a native Arkansan—well, one can imagine the herculean efforts put forth to keep the grounds in trim. Orange County Park embraces two hundred acres and was bestowed by a private individual, to belong to the county as long as it is used for park purposes. A robber story goes with this Santiago canyon to this effect: About forty years ago robbers infested the country about and just back of what is now the park. They made reprisals against residents of and travelers in the valleys, and in some cases murdering people. When parties were sent against them, they retreated to the hills, there now being "Robbers Caves" up a side canyon which sometimes attract tourists. But one day these highwaymen aroused a tiger in the shape of some Uncle Sam cavalry. These did not give up the scent when their quarry disappeared in the hills, but chased the robbers closely up Santiago. The outlaws finally took refuge on a mountain, now a part of the Modjeska club ranch, hoping to escape beyond it into the deeper fastnesses. But the soldiers surrounded it. In the fight which ensued several robbers were killed, the rest were taken prisoners. These were marched to what is now the county park and a short trial given them, but no one seems equally outside, produced a heavier lamb crop, heavier sheep, and more wool, and at the same time resulted in a better condition of the range itself. These advantages are due to the different behavior of sheep pastured in such an enclosure from that of the sheep herded in the ordinary way. When a band of sheep moves about in charge of a herder, it must be kept from scattering much. As a result much of the forage is wasted through trampling. Within an enclosure, however, the sheep soon learn to spread out and shift for themselves. Under these conditions it is not to be wondered at that a given area supports more sheep-puts them in better condition, and suffers less wear and tear. The success of the new method, however, depends on the extermination of all dangerous animals within the enclosure, and on the maintenance of a fence which will keep off outside attacks. Mr. Taylor believes that the Wallowa plan of construction is open to improvement in one particular. He advocates placing a barbed wire on the ground before the woven wire is unrolled, and stapling it down. "I expect to build another enclosure soon," his letter concludes, "and will have a barbed wire stretched around the enclosure and have the men then place their foot on the wire and press it close to the ground and staple it. With the fence already constructed it seemed almost impossible to get the wire as close to the ground as is necessary on account of the uneven surface." Under arrangements already made the superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey will as soon as possible send a party to Fairbanks to make determinations of latitude, longitude, and azimuth to which the proposed land surveys will be tied.

WOMEN IN POLITICS They Take the Hustings for Their Husbands in England A general election in Great Britain, the opening of a new parliament and a political crisis always serve to bring out a fact of supreme interest to the dealer in Anglo-American "comparisons"—I mean the prominence of women, the altogether more active and influential part they play in the public life of England as compared with that of America. One must, of course, in this connection remember how very largely rural existence in England still revolves round the placid feudal center, how instructive is the attitude of subordination on the part of the laborers and small farmers toward the gentry of the neighborhood; how great is the power of ejection and dispossession which the leasehold system places in the hands of the landlord, and how deeply woven in the texture of rural life is the notion that the mistress of the "bighouse" should be the lady bountiful, if not the lady despot, of her district. All this at election time gives a woman of zeal and intelligence a rare opportunity. She knows all within a radius of twenty or thirty miles; she has spent her life among them, organizing charities, nursing associations, bazaars, flower shows and social entertainments; she has cared for the sick and destitute; she is one of the institutions of the neighborhood, and nine times out of ten, in addition, is a capable, delightful, warm-hearted lady. When, therefore, she takes the field as a political canvas it is with all the advantages that her wealth and position, her social and philanthropic activities, and the NO MORE PLANTATIONS Passing of an Institution in Which the South Had Great Pride In the antebellum days the pride of the gentleman planter—there were few farmers in those days—was in the vastness of his acreage Those estates were no farms, they were "plantations;" they were operated by the "gentry," and they made the agricultural south of those days. It was a common thing to find one planter's possessions which would require a goodly part of a day to cover on horseback. Many of us today recall scenes of the old family plantation, look back upon the time when life in the country seemed more given to entertainment, hospitality, to the joys of living, than to the pursuits of farming as an enterprise. Market conditions and the fluctuation of prices did not enter into the schemes of life then as they do now; it was enough to know that there was a crop, a big crop, growing, and it would not have to be marketed before it was harvested. In those days plantation life usually drifted along under the motto, "sufficient unto the day are the pleasures thereof," and the planters enjoyed life. But, like other things which go to make up the present age, agriculture and its conditions have changed—the old plantation is passing, the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says. They were a characteristic of South Carolina, and largely, too, of Georgia, but there are very few of them left. In Georgia, Burke county, Washington county, Greene county, and many others were known for their large country estates—plantations—in the days "be the war," but now they have hot and then in cold water, and let it dry in a draught to remove the smell of paraffin. One of the best methods is to clean the tin with whiting mixed to a stiff paste with water of ammonia; only all the powder must be brushed off when dry. Another method is to slice down very thinly four ounces of yellow soap and pour over this one quart of cold water, and allow it to stand till next day to dissolve; then add a pound of the best whiting,and bring it all to boiling point, keeping it well stirred, so as to insure its all being properly mixed; then leave it till cold, when you add two ounces of spirits of hartshorn, and keep it in tightly corked bottles. This keeps almost indefinitely, but must be well shaken before use. Zinc must be first thoroughly washed with warm soap and water, then well dried, and carefully rubbed all over with a cloth dipped in either paraffin or turpentine. If liked, a little paraffin may be used with the whiting. PREPRANDIAL SIGNS I'll bet you that Brown will invite us over to spend the evening in a few days. What makes you think so?

Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.

Any work which require KITCHEN WARE How to Keep Utensils Looking Like New Most people seem to realize the best way of cleaning silver, but they are by no means so sure of their ground when it comes to other metals and compositions of this nature; and for this reason the following recipes are given, all of them being well tested. Iron saucepans should be cleaned as soon after the use as possible. If anything greasy has been cooked in them put in soda and water and boil this up. When starchy food has been cooked in them, however, steep them in cold water, as hot water makes the starchy material stick to the pan. The soot should be removed from the bottom and sides with an old knife. When this process has been carried out, clean both the inside and outside with soap, using a brush, and dipping this in silver sand; then rinse thoroughly, first in hot and then in cold water, and leave the pan to dry in a warm place, upside down. Enameled pans should be steeped, the soot removed and then washed with hot water, and burnt parts being removed by rubbing them with a coarse flannel dipped in salt and broken-up eggshells; then rinse well and dry inside and out. Galvanized iron baths and the like should be rinsed out with hot water and soda directly after use. To clean them thoroughly scrub them well with soap and water, to which soda has been added; dry and then rub with a piece of house flannel dipped first in paraffin and then in silver sand or powdered bath brick till bright; then rinse first in Mrs. Fred Dyckman, 112 N. Lemon street, Anaheim, Cal., says: "For a long time I was subject to attacks of backache. Any work which required stooping, caused my back to pain me intensely and I was also afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells. I knew that my kidneys were disordered, as the secretions were unnatural. A relative, who had used Doan's Kidney Pills with good results, advised me to try them and I procured a supply at Mullinix's drug store.
