RABBIT MEAT IS CHEAPEST TO RAISE Can be Produced at a Cost of 6 Cents a Pound. Rabbits can be fed more cheaply than any other meat animal. A pound of rabbit meat can be raised at a food cost of but 6 cents. The cost of raising other meat is set as follows by the Bureau of Animal Industry: Frying chickens, 11.5 cents; steer beef, 9.4 cents; pork, 13.6 cents; mutton, range fed, 8 cents. A mature rabbit will eat eight ounces of grain for breakfast, and about twelve ounces of alfalfa and greens for supper. While a rabbit, especially the Giant varieties, will consume more bulk of food than a hen, it is not a costly ration. Although the Flemish giants eat a little more than the New Zealand Reds, which are considered by many to be the ideal breed the rate of development of the former is more rapid. Flemish giants are of three colors steel gray, light gray and black. The steel gray are the most popular because of their greater weight and general desirable qualities. Bucks and does over eight months old, of this breed, now sell for so high a price that few find their way to the market. Often a Flemish giant caress dresses eight or nine pounds, and brings $3. It is claimed these rabbits can be brought to maturity for 45 to 55 cents. It is better to have four or five well nourished young rabbits than seven or eight in a weakling litter. Take all but five rabbits from the doe when you examine the litter thirty hours after the doe gives birth to the youngsters and either give the extra rabbits to a In order to influence prices, the letter said. Many of the elements fixing commodity prices here are in the East and not subject to State control under present legislation, Mr. Webb pointed out. THREE-CORNERED CONTEST FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT Three High Schools Want to Annex Garden Grove. With the filing of a petition with the County Board of Supervisors, asking that the Garden Grove school district be annexed to the Orange high school district the matter stands today as a three-cornered fight. Previous to the filing of the Orange petition it had seemed that the Santa Ana and the Anaheim high school districts were the only ones interested in the Garden Grove district with a view of having the latter joined to one or the other of the former. In fact, it had been practically understood that the supervisors, during the stood that the supervisors, during the session would reach a decision. The entrance of Orange into the fight, however, put a different complexion on the proceedings, with the result that the supervisors voted to refer the whole matter back to the county superintendent of schools. It is now expected that the county superintendent will render a report on the situation at the September 3d meeting of the supervisors. At Wednesday's meeting of the board it was voted to hold in abeyance until September 3; at 10 a.m. the matter of the joining of the Tustin, Diamond and Delhi school districts to the Santa MANY DAYS That all the life counties' up-coasted" on their ear is becoming evident on recent reports Commission indicted was much more supposed from early in the week.

It is claimed these rabbits can be brought to maturity for 45 to 55 cents. It is better to have four or five well nourished young rabbits than seven or eight in a weakling litter. Take all but five rabbits from the doe when you examine the litter thirty hours after the doe gives birth to the youngsters and either give the extra rabbits to a nurse doe already provided, or destroy them. Some does can bring six or seven or even eight rabbits to maturity, but unless you are sure of this extraordinary capacity for secreting milk so rich in protein, it is better to limit the litters to five. Provide a good nest for the doe, either by partitioning the rabbit house or setting a small grocery box in the house. Cut a hole in this just large enough for the doe to get through comfortably and place sufficient straw in it. Do not bother the doe unnecessarily at the end of her gestation period. For rabbits, alfalfa is an ideal green feed. It contains 11 per cent protein, and 41 per cent carbohydrates and fat. But leaves of vegetables taken from the garden are relished by the rabbits, and a ration of vegetable leaves and alfalfa, half and half is an excellent one combined with rolled barley or oats. GAS TRACTOR COURSE One dollar, the enrollment fee, is the only expense in connection with the gas tractor course to be given at the University of California Farm, Davis, from September 16 to 25, the University College of Agriculture announced. The enrollment is to be limited to 180 students. Lecture-demonstrations will be given on subjects such as gas engine principles and types, fuels and carburetors; carburetor adjustment, ignition—high and low tension systems, magnetos, governing and cooling mechanism, lubrication, testing, horse power rating, tractor types, adaptability and construction, tractor motors, tractor operation, valve timing, and adjustment of parts and engine trouble. Practice work will consist in actual operation of twelve makes of tractors with soldering, babbitting, pipe fitting, forge practice, clutch adjusting, ignition timing, carburetor adjustment and trouble shooting. COSTS MONEY Something of the worth or, perhaps more correctly, lack of worth of the insect "industry" to California may be shown by the fact that the state will this year use more than 2,000 tons of cyanide of potassium in fighting citrus pests alone. Other thousands of tons of sulphur, lime, tobacco, bluestone, arsenates and fish and mineral oils will also be used. Thousands of men and large equipment are also required. Does this investment pay? Many years ago careful estimates made by the department of agriculture showed that the insect and fungus loss to agriculture of the United States reached the enormous total of a thousand millions annually. One pest, the Hessian fly, in its attacks on the grain of the country caused a loss of over 100 million dollars. The chinch bug came in for a credit of some two or three hundred million. Ten per cent loss to the hay crop was caused by various pests affecting it. This loss amounted at that time to $65,000,000; at present prices doubtless it nearly doubles that. The cotton plant suffers losses which it is impossible to compute. The loss from the apple worm runs into the millions, and animal products are reduced by at least $300,000,000 because of various pests and parasites. No wonder then that the fruit growers think of their crops and buy these thousands of tons of material to reduce the ravages of insect pests.

NO CALIFORNIA LAWS TO CURB PROFITEERS Attorney-General Writes to Governor that 1909 Legislature Killed It. A letter asserting that the State was handicapped in the enforcement of anti-food-profiteering laws because of changes made in the Cartwright antitrust law by the Legislature of 1909 and indicating that the government can handle the food investigation beat, was sent to Gov. Stephens by Atty-Gen. Webb. Amendments to the State Marketing Act and other regulatory measures as a means of combating hoarding and profiteering were suggested in the letter. The 1909 Legislature amended the Cartwright law "apparently with the purpose of killing its usefulness and that through such amendment this purpose was in large degree accomplished," the letter charged. California is without a law which can deal effectively with combinations formed to restrain trade and create artificial commodity shortages. MARVELOUS BIRDS "Speaking of hens," said an American traveler, "reminds me of an old hen my dad had on a farm in Dakota. She would hatch out anything from a tennis ball to a lemon. Why, one day she sat one a piece of ice and hatched out two quarts of water!" "That doesn't come up to a club-footed hen my old mother once had," said one of his hearers. "They had been feeding her by mistake on sawdust instead of oatmeal. Well, she laid 12 eggs and sat on them and when they were hatched 11 of the 12 were woodpeckers!" The Phillippine Islands' tobacco exports increased greatly in 1918. In that year 25,700 tons of tobacco were exported, as compared with 6,890 tons in 1917. The bulk of this tobacco was shipped during the early months of 1918, and the later months showed a marked decrease. The exports of cigars, however, showed a steady increase during the entire year, the number shipped being 359,000,000, valued at $7,000,000, as against 284,000,000 valued at $4,500,000, in 1917. Most of this production was absorbed by the American market. The increase is largely due to government supervision in order to guarantee the quality of fall shipments to the United States. Less than half could be hailed $5 a ton, wait to $25 a ton; that a larger Sound call or formerly in lion ton. Nov all the market are from 10 to $25 a ton. ANAHEIM GAZETTE MANY DEER KILLED That all the licensed nimrods of the counties' up-coast did not get "skunked" on their early August deer hunts is becoming evident as the season rolls on, recent reports to the Fish & Game Commission indicating that the sport was much more nearly normal than supposed from the dearth of reports early in the week. Twelve legal deer were reported in Apache Canyon, mostly still "in the velvet," but averaging prime and fat as to venison. Most were forked horns, some freak heads, one a "stag." The heads were rather bigger than usual. Many deer were brought into Mariopa the first day, killed by native hunters who had the great advantage of thorough familiarity with the country. Four deer were downed in Apache Canyon the first day. No fires developed from the hunting in this vicinity, although evidence of several incipient blazes started earlier in the summer were evident. No evidences of carelessness in handling camp-fires was noticed by the deputy who was watching out for all such, in common with the Fish and Game Commission's policy of co-operating fully with the Forest Service in all such matter affecting the public welfare. Deputy Jack Barnett opened up the season patrolling the Tape Ranch country near the changed Los Angeles Ventura line, while Deputy Les Hare was on duty further south at the west end of the Santa Monica range. Deputy Barnett arrested several hunters without license, and all were fined in the local court. The Tapo and Strathearn ranches are posted against hunting, but as the country is wild, around the edges. FESS SEEKS PREVENTION OF NEW FLU EPIDEMIC Asks Congress to Appropriate Million and Half for Research to Discover its Source. In order to prevent a recurrence of the epidemic of influenza which caused 550,000 deaths in the United States Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, has urged upon the House an appropriation of $1,500,000 to the Public Health Service for an investigation of the causes of the disease and the methods of its prevention. In his resolution, which has the endorsement of the American Medical Association, Dr. Fess narrates that a large proportion of the great number of deaths were produced by pneumonia and other complications, that influenza, pneumonia and allied diseases now cause approximately one-tenth of all deaths in this country, that medical science is not yet in possession of complete data to the cause, modes of transmission, prevention and cure of influenza, and that therefore the possession of this knowledge is of grave social and economic concern for the nation. It is therefore urged that to enable the Public Health Service to discover the causes and prevent the spread of the disease and for allotment of sums to universities, colleges and other research institutions, as in the judgment of the secretary of the Treasury are qualified for research work that a million a half be appropriated by Congress. It is also urged that the medical departments of the army and navy join the search for methods of prevention. "There is no doubt," said Dr. Fess, that this malady will again come. And They Say —In these days of great oil development, when everyone engaged in that business looks forward to striking a paying well, and would not be adverse to annoying a gusher, a mere water well does not seem to interest them much, when perchance the drillers get into a strata of water instead of oil. But water seems to be of small avail when a man becomes imbued with the oil bug. Time was when it was said water was king. —Several owners of autos have had close calls for violation of traffic laws. Where its their first offense, and upon a promise they'll never do it again, there is one obliging cop who has not heart to take the offenders up to the captain's office. But he's got their number, so beware for second offense. —There seems to be a joker in the family formula handed out which upon proper manipulation brings forth a brew with some kick, said to be considerably in excess of the dosage allowed in well regulated governmental circles. Of course, the home patriot may dilute the potion with water to come within the pale of the law, and then again he may not. —Reports have come in about a mysterious animal taking heavy toll from among the chicken corrals in a nearby environ. Some are quite sure a big grayish animal has been seen prowling about, but another opines Uncle Rufus may have been snooping around. Yeller legged chicken—Yum, yum! —Just like tickling your funnybone to set in and peruse some of the items Deputy Jack Barnett opened up the season patrolling the Tape Ranch country near the changed Los Angeles Ventura line, while Deputy Les Hare was on duty further south at the west end of the Santa Monica range. Deputy Barnett arrested several hunters without license, and all were fined in the local court. The Tapo and Strathearn ranches are posted against hunting, but as the country is wild, some slip in around the edges. Few deer ever are shot there, as the brush is high, and conditions generally are against the hunter. More does use the vicinity than bucks, and males of legal size are rare indeed. The Pine Mountain country has been ruined for deer by heavy "sheeping," a big herd of the rank woolies having been driven in from Nevada, and the scarcity of deer is thus explained. Lions, even timber wolves, are reported to have followed those sheep, and the deer appear to have departed; they have no use for sheep, or even where sheep have been. BI-PRODUCTS PLANTS A visit to the by-products house of the John T. Flagler and the Fruit Growers' Exchange plants at Corona and the exchange's various marmalade factories at San Dimas, Upland and Anaheim is always interesting. Cull oranges, lemons and grape fruits which were formerly wasted are now turned into many useful products developed by the bureau of chemistry. United States Department of Agriculture, which is conducting experimental work in the citrus by-products laboratory in Los Angeles. The problem of how to size economically the cull and waste fruit became more acute each year with the development of the large orange and lemon groves of California and Florida. The amount of waste rent averages from year to year about 3 per cent of the total crop. Since the establishment of the experimental laboratory by by-product industry has developed rapidly. Now there are four stable concerns manfacturing lemon by-products. The plants of these concerns have a capacity of over 50,000 pounds of lemon oil, 500,000 pounds of citrate of lime and over 1,500,000 pounds of citric acid. Twenty concern are producing matter affecting the public welfare. Reports have come in about a mysterious animal taking heavy toll from among the chicken corrals in a nearby environ.

There is a man here whose opinion about alleged co-partnerships would not look good in print. He believes some people have an awful crust, and should join a circus. The editor of a nearby paper mustered up courage and took a two days' vacation. However, before leaving he penned a note for the benefit of the sheriff saying he intended to come back. The federal agents are after the food hoarders and profiteers. Smoke 'em out, Uncle, and give 'em both barrels! Some persons go so far as to say that before anyone is permitted to drive a gas wagon he should pass a rigid exam, and get a State license it is forbidden to tote a gun. A very interesting communication relating to the action of a police officer, is to be presented to the city council to night. A young lady displaying quite a bit of real flesh-colored hosiery breezed up street the other day, creating meanwhile a mild rush for the open upon the part of the male species who, of course, had urgent duties to perform downtown. Many believed at first it was a sure case of the stockingless fad, but all agreed later, upon a close-up, that it was only an imitation.

When people right here at home raise their voice in praise there is no room left for doubt. Since the establishment of the experimental laboratory by-products industry has developed rapidly. Now there are four stable concerns manufacturing lemon by-products. The plants of these cones have a capacity of over 50,000 pounds of lemon oil, 500,000 pounds of citrate of lime and over 1,500,000 pounds of citric acid. Twenty cones are producing orange by-product to the extent of 6,000,000 pounds each year. These orange by-products include marmalade, marmalade stock pellets and candied peel. Improved methods for the manufacture of orange vinegar have been developed by the experimental work. Methods for the production from cull grapefruit of candied peel and juices of excellent quality have been devised. The existing hods for the manufacture of citrate of lime and of citric acid have been improved and adapted to California conditions. The benefit to the grower of fruit is shown by the increase in the price of cull fruits since the experimental work was begun. Less than five years ago cull lemons could be held in large quantities for $5 a ton, while today they bring $20 to $25 a ton, notwithstanding the fact that a larger quantity is now available. Sound cull oranges could be bought formerly in large quantities for $5 a ton. Now all cull oranges placed upon the market are snapped up quickly at from $70 to $30 a ton. Den Mortimer E. Cooley of the University of Michigan urges municipal ownership of street railways "to convince the public it is undesirable." All we can say it that, in the case of steam railways, the idea has worked. Chicken pox.—Put a touch of iodin on each sore and apply carbolated vaseline. Gapes.—Fresh ground and vigorous cultivation will often remedy this trouble, which is caused by small gape-worms that live in the soil and attach themselves to the inside of the throat. Diarrhea in hens.—Low-grade wheat flour or middlings is good for this trouble. A teaspoonful of castor oil containing five drops of oil of turpentine to each fowl is also good. Bumblefoot.—When the feet are badly swollen, a small cut should be made with a clean, sharp knife and the pus removed. Wash the wound out with equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, grease with vaseline, and bandage. Limberneck.—A teaspoonful of castor oil given to the fowl will sometimes effect a cure. Scaly legs.—Apply vaseline containing 2 per cent of creolin to the affected parts and after 24 hours soak in warm, soapy water. Repeat treatment until cured.

It is fully recognized that when the household supply gives out many persons who feel they cannot get along without beer or hard spirits will seek to make at home what they can no longer buy. It is said to be a very simple matter to brew or distill at home, but the persons who are even now seeking to sell books purporting to instruct readers how "as good liquor or beer as ever was made" can be made in one's own home carefully avoid mention of the dangers of drinking the homemade product. An attache of the Patent Office explained this matter, which he said, every one should know who had any thought of breaking the law in the manner named. In a letter received by the Patent Office the writer said he had been informed that many good recipes for making liquor had been entered at the Patent Office.

"In the manufacture of whisky, for example, it is important to get rid of ethers, aldehydes and fusel oil, especially the last named. In order to eliminate fusel oil distillers have spent large sums of money on special apparatus, employing a complicated process of vaporization. Water stills, which have their most extensive use in this country where alkali strongly impregnates the water and makes it unfit for drinking purposes, have no such attachments.
