WEEKLY ESTABLISHED STOCK FOR THE STATE FARM Management Should Patronize Gibscn-Eakte Sales Journal Again Expresses Dii satisfaction With Xetliodi at Davii Institution A dally paper is our authority for the statement that "Professor B. Major, of agricultural college the University of California, has left for the San Joaquiu valley to select cattle for the experiment station at the state farm at Davis, where it is intended to establish a nucleus with which to make, some unusual experiments in breeding stock. He has authority for the purchase of twenty-four head of the stock to be found in the valley. The miniature dairy and farm at Berkeley, which has been conducted so successfully by Dr. be used as a -model for the larger and more practical affair.

The care of the Berkeley herd to keep them from Infection will be extended to the experiment station, and. before the transaction Is pul through for the purchase of the herd the animals will be subjected to the tuberculin test. The stock will be selected from various parts of the valley as Professor Major will visit Fresno, Madera, Modesto, Kings, Tulare and Merced counties before jmaking final selections." Reading "the above over conveys the idea that the "twenty-four head of the finest'stock" are dairy cattle. Now, while we are great admirers of dairy stock and by no means desire to detract in any way from the value of that important industry, to the state we to point out to stockmen who raise animals to supply the market with so far not a single thing has been done state farm al Davis In their behalf. Already one very important dispersion of Rusn' been allowed to pass by without an effort on the pari of the management to take advantage.

opportunity to buy rare bred that mimic not? Soriii of the best 'bred cattle in the state were practically given away, but.not one of them found its way to the farm in questions Such fact leads to the conclusion that the management Is neither practical nor On.the llth of this month, Mrs. W. B. and B. Gibson will have a sale of seventy head of registered shorthorns and on the 12th, the next day, the Enterprise' herd of the same breed of cattle will be sold, because of H.

P. Eakle sickness. Here "are two other opportunities for themanagement of the farm to buy pure bred shorthorn cattle at auction and lay the foundation of a first-class herd, will they take advantage of these opportunities or will they, aa they have done up to the present time, refuse to take any notice whatever of the stock-raising Industry? We note again that It was the stocking first suggested this farm, who worked fpr. it in the legislature, and whose assistance did much iin passing the act buying the farm ana iln obtaining the subsequent appropriations for Its expenses. Why arj3 they, ignored In the plans for the farm, so far carried out? In no branch o.f husbandry Is tuition necessary than in stock raising, particularly as the country Is In a transition state, between large ranches, a great extent of free grazing ground and small, enclosed general fact between grazing and diversified farm- Ing.

Other states appreciate the above fact and-are fully aware.of the benefits of a course ot animal husbandry to the young breeder. Professor John O. Burns, of the Texas A. and M. College, recently discussed this question at length.

To give our readers some Idea of. the great Importance of having proper meat stock, and a course of Btruclion relating thereto, at the state 'farm, we take a tew quotations 1 from his address. He says: "The course in animal husbandry Is one of the many courses taught In this and other Institutions of similar character In other states, and one of the three main courses which comprise the agricultural department of this college; the others being the course In agriculture, which treats mainly of soils and farm crops, and the course In horticulture, which treats mainly of fruits and truck crops. The course In animal husbandry treats of the Judging, breeding, care and management of live stock under various conditions of environment, giving the student a thorough knowledge of the theories and pertaining- thereto. By the term live stock' if included horses, Jacks, fennels, beef cattle, dairy Hank weaken the CMIM chronic conitipatlon.

Professor the young man anrloue to -take up this course, besides' getting, general knowledge, to try. and become thoroughly with this special line of work before he starts into it. "By so doing he may avoid the disastrous blunders that-he might otherwise make, and thus gain a fair knowledge of his business in a short period of three or four years! that would require a lifetime to obtain 1 la the school of experience." Prof, Burna points out "that in this day of strong competition and amal margins of profit every man needs to be a specialist in his own line of work or be snowed under by the man who knows more about the "business than he does." Such education Is intended to make such' a young -man a specialist in this line of work, "and thus put him many years ahead In knowledge of what he would be had he not had such an opportunity Ho is trained to go about things in a systematic way, with always the idea of economy, progress and development in view." The professor believes that "while the course in animal husbandry is important to the country-raised boy who grows up with a greater or less knowledge experience as to the feeding, breeding, care and management of live stock, yet to the city-bred boy, who contemplates entering the breeding business, it Is readily seen of how much greater importance it is." The great Importance of this animal husbandry course in relation to meat animals is made plain by the professor, and aJso the necessity of the student having horses, cattle, sheep and swine present during his course.

Naturally, these should bo the best obtainable of the kind for him to study, as the first impression lasts long and goes far to form the judgment to be exercised hereafter. In all such matters the sons of stockmen and farmers have, of course, a great advantage, and a special education in these matters la absolutely necessary Jor- the city- bred youth who desires to follow the business. this should be possible at the state farm, but at present it is conspicuous by Its absence except In the case of the dairy herd. Of course "Rome was not built in a day, and no doubt the well-meaning, but unpractical gentlemen to whom the destinies of this branch of the state's educational sytem has been entrusted, will, in the course of years, leara enough to properly supply'the school, of course, a practical management would do this at once and take advantage of such sales as those mentioned to supply the wants off the farm, Anyway, we are glad to see that at least twenty- four, head of fine dairy stock are to be bought. We hope they will be a credit to the instlutlon, and not, like the display of cattle from a southern station recently made-at the state fair, unworthy of notice and a great and Stockgrow- era 1 Journal.

ADVERTISE STATE'S LIVE STOCK.POSSIBIUTIES We cannot understand how It Is that those gentlemen and public bodies bent on advertising the many advantages enjoyed by the residents of California are so blind to Its capabilities in the production of pure-bred beef cattle of the various kinds, particularly shorthorns. Thanks to the activity and well-directed efforts of the Promotion Committee, boards of trade, during the past few years, the east has been deluged with well chosen literature relative to the fertility of this state aud its many and varied products In all this mass of otherwise most Arable Information, live stock breed- Ing, except for dairying purposes.

Hix and his men in their efforts to eradicate scab was also adopted. A legislative committee, consisting of Henry Glide'of Sacramento, L. L. McCoy of Red Bluff and A. Bullard of Woodland, was appointed to secure data and to advise with congressional representatives regarding a revision of the tariff on wool, and with the state legislature regarding steps to be taken to get living freight rates for wool shipments.

The fact-that lower prices are paid than have prevailed for several years 'was discussed, but the general prevailed that this was because m'onetary conditions and not froriyo.ver-prpduciion. inasmuch as the quantity of- wool now produced Is less than wheir'higher prices were paid. The matter of joining the National Wool Growers' Association was taken up, and the committee decided to recommend such action to the association, the association to pay the dues of its members to the national body.

A YOUTH IN TROUBLE AGAIN Victor Garmictiael Arrested tor Robbery at Vallejo Thtft Admitted, but ths Woman from Whom Bing WM Stolen Would Prouonte The Sacramento Bee of Wednesday evening publishes the following item a robbery in which a young man who formerly resided In this city Is Implicated: Detective Fisher Has been notified by the authorities of Vallejo that two Sacramento" boys, Victor Carmichael and James Rlley, have been arrested at that town and charged with stealing two valuable diamond rings from Miss Alma Russell, a woman of the halt-world, who migrated from Sacramento to Vallejo a few weeks ago.

The boys were captured by Chief of Police Stanford. He saw Carn.iichael trying to sell the ring to the proprietor of a jewelry shop for $50. The jeweler would only pay Stanford stepped In and offered to pay $60 fo'r the ring, and asked Carmichael to go down to the police station with him so that he could get the money. When Carmtchael arrived at the Jail he was placed under arrest. He admitted when he was questioned that lie had a partner named Riley.

Riley was picked up later In the saloon. When the policeman approached him Rlley gave himself up, removed a diamond ring from his mouth and handed It over to the officer. They confessed that they had stolen the rings from the Russell woman. It Is learned from Vallejo that the men will be floated unless they are wanted In this city. The Vallejo police received word from Sacramento after the men were released that they were wanted In that city on charges of burglary.

Thursday evening's Bee adds the fol- i James Rlley, who was arrested in Vallejo and charged with stealing "a diamond ring from Alma Russell, a woman of the tenderloin, was caught In city Wednesday afternoon and lodged In the city jail. As told In the Bee last night, Rlley was turned loose by the Vallejo authorities when they found that the woman would not prosecute bjm and his partner, Victor Car- mlchael, although 'they admitted the theft. What, is to be done with Rlley is not known. There Is complaint out against him on the charge of grand larceny, but Alma Russell, who swore out, has relented, and claims now that she loaned the ring to the prisoner. If she sticks to the last statement, the police will have to turn Riley loose.
