A mile BOUtb of little Pasademt rose upout of the ilal, 75 feet high.a round top knoll of some 60 actes, com manding a sweeping view of the valley as (ar as tbe eye could reach east and west, and llmited on the north by great mountains ttve miles away, and on the south bj the graceful foothilla len milea away.

Being acqualnted with his father and his clrcumstances, Walter probably knew, when he undertook the enter prise, where the money to complete it would cotno from in tht. end, but realiz ed tbat the only avenue to a fund, cou trolled by a conBervative old gentleman would be a necessity for more money to to aave what had been invested. A statement of the clrcumstances convinc ri Mr. IUvmond that such necessily ex isted, and wltn cnaracieristic prompv nes, be put a bat on the back of his head and hurried across the continent. Stepping ofl the train at Pasadena, he Btampedup that hill, surveyed the sur roundlngs and opened his mouth in loud critlcism of tbe 'boy V wlld scheme, and nr the lilir exrjoctallons 01 tne locaiity. But after calming hlmrelf he wiped the perspiration from his hrow and made known to tbe communlty ou what con ditions be would pull the boy out of the rmirl and tro on with his enteinrise. They mlgh( apcept tbos, conditiaus or not, just as they cboso. If not, he would puijon hls bat and go atraigbt back to Massacbuietts, and Gabriel might take hls valley and the boy and blow his trumpet as soon as be pleassd. Thn conditions included a erant of land adjoloing the hill, certain concesslons ln at an expense of $250,000, one of the most complete in ali us appointments on this coast. Walter coutinued his ex cursiuns, and kept pouring Eastern peo ple Into the valley and into the big ho tel, which has put a profit nf $00,000 a year into the pockets of the owner and convinced hlm that the hoy's head was not far out of level, and that the big ex- oectations of the comraunity were not wholly groundless. Such is the hlstory of Mr. Raymond's connection wlth tbe hotel enterprise.and it is of special interest, becauee it forma a eort of first llnk, or, If you plcase, a hook in the chain of even s reBulting in a boom for Southern Callfornia. The Santa Fe railroad, tbe Raymond hotel and Walter's excurslons, followed by private and newspaper descnpllons of countrv, climate, etc, Btarted a b mra westward which continued up lo the collap'9 of three months agn, and made a great many people rich by the unex pected rise of land. Among the oldest of the present resl. dents of PaBadena isOol. Eaton. who came here in 1858. and run sheep on a ranch on which Pasadena now stands. In aneakinc of thn effecta of the boom on hlm, the Colonel says, that for a good many years he had 14,000 acres of ' land and no neignoors, wnnenowne has 14,000 neigbbora and no acres of land. But the Colonel is well situated and I imaglne did rot part with all his acres withouteoma compensation.. Be tween 1868 and 1873 the ranch was boio ou in parts, the last lot of 4000 acres go lug to a colony irom inuiana. ja uiui nart thn tnwn now stands. But the col ony was not altogether harmonious.and only 8 of the 50 raembers settled on the land. In 1875 they nameJ the hamlet pMHndpna and obtained a DOSt olliCO to accommodate about 100 people settled in tho nrecinct. A few at this titne set out nranges and othcr trees, but th's In dustrv was not promising hecause there was no transportation. In 100U the popu lation had increased to 250,and a village two and a half miles equare was laid out but little growth followed till 1883 when pereons began to drop .In occasionally and buy a few acres for improvement. The flrst railroad came in the fall of 1885 and in May 1880 the village became an incorporated clty wun a popuianuu m 2500. The Raymond was completed in November 1880, and the first telenrarh linerame tbe next month. A rapid growth had set in and the height of the boom was on about Jenuary, 1887, when people were increasing too last tocount, Land was jumping fast enough to con fuse and craze the people, building were eoinz un evory where and lioree railroads and motor lines and publio und private enterprises 01 every uescnpnon were projecled and completed with adispatch which surprised everybody. The rush to town wue bo great, and bo much was being made out of the purcnase anu eaie of town lots, that fruit growing and farmiug were neglccted, The conee- cmences appear ln Bcaiey lrun groves and vineyards overgrown with weeds, and astyle of farraing whlch conveys an unfavorable and false Impression of the surrounding country than which there is none better in tne Btaie. vnne luwua and climato have been used aa the only inducement to Bettlera, the still better inducement of outBide acrea for profita. table fruit growing has been entirely forgutteu.

But the town is Btlll lively with the consiruction 01 ijuuiiu ininrnvementji and the building of dwell- ings and business blocksprojected while the boom was on.

Twombly, Randall and Morrison apeared with a doublerig the morningafter my arrlval.and invited me to ride. H was a real shiney aflair. with bright paint, sllver buckles, red ribbnns and Bplrited horse liesn. as we starteo down Raymond Hill. in a style which wou d shame the nrouaest team out 1 8ilsby'8Lyndonvlllestable,Twombly wbs a proud driver. EverythlnR worked to suit him till one of those horsas stopped, stood on his blnd Ivgs and refused to pro ceed. Twombly used the whlp, and the next moment the animal stood on his head and then rolled over under his raate. An hour was then spent in pro- curing a cbange of horsea, when we were ready to proceea, uutiwomoiys pride in a Pasadena livery had disap- peared, We rode through several 01 the beautiful streets of the town, then through tbe county six miles to tbe base of a mountain, where we put up at tbe 'Villa hotel' for dinner and a charmlng view of the valley. In f ront of the hotel was a large grove of orange and other fruit trees. ebowlng how gravelly soil at tbe base of tbe mouniains wouid pro- duce. Tbe return drive was through several small vlllages, through the edge of the 'Luckey Baldwln' ranch to East San Gabriel, and tben to San Gabriel, where a'halt was made toattend tbe old Mlssion. We were now In tbe idantlcal spot where the start was made in San Gabriel valley over a hundred years ago, The old Mlssion and Bome of the original adobes are before us, aud we are in the street of a sleepy, half civiliz ed town which grew Into existence ugder Spanisb progress. One or two hundred people have existed here, with out ambitlon, except to eat, sleep and be raerry, from tlme nut of mind. They, or Iheir descendsnts, are bere now, non- progresslve, sleepy, and unmoved by slght of the progress in erery direction from them. It was Sundax afternoon, and, as we drove up before the mud pile a boy on the wall had hoid ottheatrings attached to the old bells, hung in thelr respective boles twenty feet above the around. and was jerking them In an Ir- regular but lively manner, giving the Impression that the cow, were heing called in from, th paiture. A tbe old Miion bells were east evldently at a tlme when, or in a country where, metal had no 'rina' In It. and they produoo a dull. rouRh nolse but no mqlsc. The style of ringing, however, Is in keeping with tbe character of the sound. The bells are attached to cross beami fasten ed in the wall, are Immovable, and are rung by means of cords attached to the tongues. we enterea tne 01a uuuaing lone. nnrrow and hlEh. witb altar in one end, a high galtery in the other, a half dozen pews ln Iront ior tne Don ton.anu standing room back of them for the plebeans to stand, kneel or equat, ac- cordine to indications from the altar, The service was lu tho llno devotlon, I will presume, but if the natives under- stood It no better than I did, no progress was made Zionwards. Leavlng the Alis- lon we drove down tbe narrow street of low, fnuallied looking homes holes in the wall letl the sleepy concern ne hind us, paseed through the new and pretty towh ot Alhambra, thence through South Pasadena to the Ray mond. On another day I went out with John son, Quimby and Mr. Wood, and ex plored the country north ot the town and towards the big mountains, which from the Raymond hill seem diatant about three miles. Passlng through the business part of tbe town, we continued by pleasant hoines. apparently a part ot town, and reached Monk hill, which ppears from town like tho first rlse 011 the mountain. On making the top of this little elevation another beautiful valley. three miles wlde, euddenly opened up between us and tbe moun tains, and furnlshed convincing proof of dectptive diatances in this particular country. In this valley were line vine yards and fruit groves, and a few hun dred acres 01 wnite BtaiKes 10 inuicate the locaiity of an expected town. A motor railroad train from Pasadena was puliing its way through the center of the valley on regulartlme, and learning the routesnas to be ready for the rush ot travel when the town arrives. A transit no is one ot the town building forces in this town-building country. In Kan- sas they uesd to start wun a ecnooi house, in New Mexico and Colorado with a saloon. but in California they bo gin with a hotel, street cars or motor road. Laving tlie little hill we passed over the valley, skirted the base of tbe mountain several miles, through young groves, vineyards and barley llelds, and were charmed wun that part ot tne val lev as a locaiity for homes. Johnson and Quimby are bo pleased with Pasa dena and her surroundings that wben I expressed a preference tor this valley, it was nut taken as a reuection upon J'.isa ena. Any where in San Gabriel valley ill suit them. Our drivo home was past many flne dwellings, where rare taste bas been dlsplayed in building houses, laying out grounds, and orna menting with trees, shrubs and flswers. In n country where trees grow so rapidly, and where the semi tropical shrubs and llowers Ihrive the year rouno, tnere is no excuse for neglecting door-yard orna mentatlon. In Pasadena, instead of neg lecting it, there is a commendable emulation in the eftort to produce the besttltect. Tho reault already shows in the beauty of tbe residence part of the town, and it wiii soon maito 1'asa dena one of the most uttractivo towns in tho State. M. J. Quimby's interest lead him to the south of town, and a ridu wlth him was through neglected vineyards, three milea, to the San Gabriel wine factory. It was Sunday and the winery waa cloa ed. but Martin found a window from which he spied a goblet half full 01 port wine, and after smacking his lips several minutes at the window he left, express ing tbe beliet that 'the plaguey stull is sour. lhe proprietor 01 1111a oiu esiao- lishment is the owner of a great vineyard surrounding it, and also of broad acrca adjoining, on which ia tbe platted town of Itamona, the same in which, report says, the Los Angeles edilors are aoout to build resiuences ana De neignuors in harmony (?)

In some places we observed ex- ceiient cuittvation, and in others appear ed neglect consequent upon the town lot craze. In many groves the scale ap peared and threatened the life of the trees. One grower, who took extra care or ms trees. belteved that If others wouia do as well the scale would be driven away. But the more general beliet is that the locaiity is too near tbe coast for prontaDie prosecution oi tne orange in dustry. The ride furnlshed addltional proor of the richness of Pasadena s sur rounding country. which, no doubt. will soon be put into its former blooming conditton. On the return to the hotel 1 could not eay to Mr. Smith that the boom was still on, but I was well enougb pleased to release him from his promise to pay the bllls. fC. M. C. in Lyndon Union. I asked. 'Mv Uvo hundred dollar lot.' he sald. Then he asked bow I liked it, and 1 told him it resembled any other slrip of guod mow fleld, Then he inquired my oplnion ot its valne, anu 1 eet.it at lhe rate of $100 an acre, which would make tbe lot worth about $20. This soured Martin, and he wassilent several minutes. when he asked if 1 tlidn t be lieve Kamoua would be built. I told hlm I euDDOsed it was built already. I saw streets, avenues, and siaewaiKB built and thick grass, hip high, growing in them, which led me to belleve that the work was completed, and that the bullders had gone away to anuther job. 'G'lnnel' said Martin, lerking spitelully at the relns, evidently disgusted wlth a tenderfoot s estimaleof the valueofcor ner lots out on the range. In a few min ules we were in tho town of Oak Knolls, where there was a seriea of winding slreeis. ceinent sldewalks. water hy drants at convenient distances for flre aud domestio purposea, a windmlll reservoir. and two bouses partly com pluted und abandoncd, and grass knee deep cverywhere. Everything was there but houses and people. As $105,000 in improvements bad been expended. asked Martin if the pronnetors did not feel poor. 'No,' said he, 'those lots have all been sold to tena'erfeet, who have gone back bome to wait for the rise.' The reader will remember that Frank Smith is under a promise to pay tbe Edi tor's bills for this trip uuless he becomes convinced that that the boom is still on. and that the locaiity of Pasadena ia all tbat Is claimed for it. Frank pays his diiis, but is caretui not 10 inour many, With a view of helping along tho con viction and avoiding liability for the bills aforesaid, he gave me a bali day s whirl over the country Boutbeast 01 town This is a country apparently in plain view from tbe south piazza of tne Itay. mond, and hav'ng looked at it so much I suDtiosed I knew every inch of it. But it was a miatake. The ride took us thtough a depression in the valley, wnich emoraceu several larpe piauta. tions. with hundreds of acres of vine yards aud fruit groves entirely obscured from the Raymond standpoint. From any elevation ia the valley tbe eye takes in a scope of country which, by travel ing over lt, ia found to be a dozen times greater than it appeared, The area of a valley, apparently au m signt, is tounu to be simply immenae when meaaured by the unit of acres. The eye takes in at a glance tbe spaca between two ranges of mountains, but to subdivide this epace into piantations, anu men vislt each plantation, will convincc one that slght fails to convey a proper idea ot territorial magnitude. During the ride Smith wanted to visit to Hose ranch and Introducometotbeiramense winery tbere, understanding, of course, that in that building he could obtaln tmportant help towards convincing me ot the merits of the country. It was Iiia opln ion that if he could run one through that winery he could convince hlm of Bnrtblne and make him own it. Our arrival was late and the establisbment was closed, but we met tbe owner, 'a flne old English gentleman,' whosub mitted to a brief intrview with becom- ing grace. Out of the immense Rose ranch he told ua an Eoglish syndicate, which he renresebted. had purchased 2000 acres and tbe winery for .800.000. Tbe land embraced some 000 acres of vinerard. 400 in oranges. with the rest in other truit and graln. I asked if tbe comDanr got a good tnde, and he sald they got cbeated just $100,000, and that be could maite tne propcrty pay oniy moderate interest on half the purchase money. I proftered comfort by lelling him how I once got badly cheated an 4 borse trade, but he cou'dn't seo the narallel. and continued ta TUe the day that hii yn.d.lpate W Mr. loee. He was also troubled auout the growing prohi bition semlment, as it was threatening to reduoe the demand for wines. I told him he ought to pay the farmers more for grspes; than in a oountry where the grape interest waa bo great lt was cruel to crowd the farmers down to $13 a ton. whloh gave them only $00 an acre, for tbe usual yleld 01 nre tons 01 grapes per acre.

The future pig must have more liesh and less fat. It must not be a mere laid keg, It must be fed upon flesh-forming foods until grown. and then fattened.

Six years of experimental experience eads me to the conclusion that we have ;ot to look to breed for much of tho changes whlch we would produce. iou cannot feea an Ayrshlre cow, or at east I have never been able to, ln such 1 way as to cet her butter the color of Jersey butter. In those six years' ex perience, with the most thorough and careful experiments, we are unable to say that we have ctmngeu tne composi tion ot butter by any change in the char acter of the food. Dr. E. L. Sturte- vant. If a cow of any breed is not doing her beat as a dairy cow, it is in entire accord with all our experience to so change her food and care as to bring her up to her best: but when we get that cow to her best tbere is no known method of fecd- ng or care that will make her do any better. But breed that cow so as to make hercalf a better dairy animal than herself. and then the same food and the same care which the dam received will give better resulta. Hence, It ia the breed flrat and the care afterward. Prof. Alvord. A KE.7IEOY FOIt CICOL'I'. "Croup caused the death of six of my children.
