By ïùlstake he called at Chief DUfl. bouse, and not getting the kindo~ pie he asked for, became abusive.* He was j iyanded in the cooler andi fined îOMoand costs. He wa.s ail broke up Whenl he iearned the mistake. A north Mariposa fariner *states that the crops are doing exceedingly well, especiaîîy the Canadian thisties along the highwavs. They were neverbetter. It is true some few farmers wjio Iack an eye for the beautiful have ruithlessly cut dowfl this national fiower. It i too bad, and the pathmasters should see that ail seeds are preserved, or otherwise issue their mandate and have them all wiped out. The Russian thistle, which is a greater nuisance than even the Canadian, is also mani- festng its presence in the same vicin- ity, and if prompt steps are flot taken wdil soof become another trying pest to our farmers. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
