The  Story  of  a  California  Day 
In  giving  an  account  of  a  California 
rancher’s  day  (they  are  all  ranchers — 
from  one  acre  with  chickens  to  ten  thou¬ 
sand  with  cattle),  it  should  be  borne  in 
mind  that  men  getting  their  living  from 
the  soil  and  living  almost  side  by  side, 
have  exceedingly  diversified  ways  of  do¬ 
ing  it.  First  there  are  the  dry  farmers, 
who  put  in  one  crop,  either  hay  or 
grain,  and  then  their  work  is  done  until 
harvest,  except  for  caring  for  the  chic¬ 
kens,  a  few  cows,  and  a  generally  very 
sad-looking  garden,  and  of  course,  the  in¬ 
evitable  flivver.  Then  there  are  the  ir¬ 
rigates  to  whom  I  belong,  who  are  gen¬ 
erally  doing  something  every  day  in  the 
year. 
This  morning  Alexander,  my  son,  and 
myself,  got  our  own  breakfast,  as  mother 
and  the  two  girls  are  camping  up  on  one 
of  the  government  camping  grounds,  65 
miles  east  and  one  mile  high.  Mother 
and  the  youngest  went  by  stage,  while 
our  oldest  daughter  with  two  other  girls 
started  on  horseback,  making  an  easy 
three-day  trip,  stopping  at  night  where- 
ever  they  happened  to  be.  And  the  en¬ 
joyment  they  got  out  of  cooking  their 
meals  over  a  camp  fire,  picketing  out 
their  horses  and  rolling  up  in  blankets 
under  a  live  oak  tree,  would  make  many 
a  millionaire  envious. 
Well,  to  go  back  to  that  breakfast, 
here  is  the  bill  of  fare:  coffee  for  dad, 
milk  for  Alexander,,  with  cereal,  bread 
and  butter,  (no  oleo  in  ours— thank  you), 
figs  and  cantaloupe  and  the  usual  eggs 
and  bacon.  And  truth  compels  the  state¬ 
ment  that  when  mother  is  away  we  have 
breakfast  three  times  a  day,  six  days  a 
week,  except  for  what  the  neighbors  bring 
111  After  breakfast,  the  chickens  and  cats 
had  theirs,  and  we  took  our  hoes  and  went 
out  to  plant  tomatoes.  The  day  before 
I  had  run  water  down  the  furrows  tor 
about  six  hours,  so  there  was  enough 
moisture  in  the  soil.  The  plants  had  been 
dug  from  the  seed  bed  the  day  before, 
and  their  largest  leaves  clipped  oft,  and 
were  in  tin  pails  of  water.  .  e  each 
took  a  pail,  would  dig  a  hole  in  the  bot¬ 
tom  of  the  furrow  with  one  or  two  strokes 
of  the  hoe,  place  the  plant,  fill  in  the 
dirt  and  pack  it  hard,  and  then  draw  dry 
earth  around  the  plant.  It  is  a  slow 
way,  but  not  one  plant  in  20  wilts,  and 
as  it  is  a  little  late,  for  planting,  I  think 
the  extra  work  will  pay.  .  .  . 
After  we  had  planted  all  the  irrigated 
furrows,  Alexander  went  over  to  a  neigh¬ 
bor’s  place  that  he  is  caring  for  during 
their  vacation,  at  40  cents  an  hour,  which 
reminds  me  that  when  I  was  a  boy  I 
dropped  corn  for  40  cents  a  day.  After 
another  breakfast  at  noon  we  started  ir¬ 
rigating  our  early  peas.  Early  peas  here 
get  ripe  earlv  in  the  Winter,  and  last 
Winter  from  12  rows  a  little  over_100  ft. 
we  sold  peas  to  the  amount  of  $o0.  and 
the  children  said  we  ate  $50  worth  be¬ 
sides.  But  it  is  a  continuous  job  fight¬ 
ing  blight,  mildew  and  aphis. 
'When  the  peas  were  finished  Alex¬ 
ander  delivered  some  corn  to  some  neigh¬ 
bors,  and  when  he  got  home,  remarked, 
“Dad,  we  haven’t  had  any  corn  fritters 
this  year.  Do  you  know  how  to  make 
them  ?”  I  am  ready  to  try  anything  once, 
so  I  constructed  some  corn  fritter  batter, 
and  we  proceeded  to  fry  them.  .  I  don’t 
know  what  mother  would  have  said  about 
them,  but  Alexander  said  they  were  good. 
Anyway  they  kept  us  from  having  three 
of  a  kind  meals  for  one  day.

Safety  in  Thunderstorms 
Many  people  are  terrified  by  thunder¬ 
storms,  and  while  we  think  every  effort 
should  be  made  to  overcome  such  fear, 
and  above  all  to  avoid  passing  it  on  to 
children,  it  is  well  to  recognize  real  dan¬ 
ger,  and  to  minimize  it  as  far  as  pos¬ 
sible.  The  following  suggestions  for 
safety  in  thunderstorms  are  given  by 
Prof.  Alexander  G.  McAdie.  professor  of 
meteorology  at  Harvard  University  : 
“In  a  battle,”  says  Prof.  McAdie,  “a 
hundred  bullets  are  fired  for  each  sol¬ 
dier  killed.  It  is  sometimes  like  this 
with  lightning  flashes.  There  are  a 
hundred  discharges  for  every  bolt  of 
lightning  that  hits  a  person. 
“About  ten  flashes  in  a  hundred  come 
vertically,  that  is,  down  to  earth  in  a 
straight  line.  Some  flashes  come  side¬ 
ways  and  seem  to  be  crooked,  although 
there  are  really  no  flashes  zigzagging  like 
the  teeth  of  a  saw  as  artists  generally 
depict  lightning.  .  ,  a  ,  ., 
“The  intense  straight  flashes  are  the 
ones  to  be  feared,  and  it  is  a  silly  per¬ 
son  who  stands  out  in  the  open  when 
such  flashes  are  seen.  He  invites  trou¬ 
ble,  but  the  invitation  is  not  always  ac¬ 
cepted. 
“At  this  time  of  the  year  thunder¬ 
storms  are  frequent  and  there  are  a 
comparatively  large  number  of  fatal  ac¬ 
cidents.  One  reads  in  the  press  dis¬ 
patches  that  four  men  are  walking  along 
a  New  Jersey  beach  during  a  thunder¬ 
storm.  There  is  a  flash  of  lightning,  one 
man  is  killed  outright,  one  severely 
burned,  and  the  others  stunned. 
“Now  there  is  no  protection  for  a  case 
like  this  unless  one  could  carry  around 
with  him  a  metallic  cover  well  grounded. 
The  first  rule  is  then  : 
“Do  not  stay  out  on  a  beach  or  in  a 
field  when  dark,  heavy  clouds  are  over¬ 
head  or  coming  slowly  from  the  west  or 
south.  Get  under  cover  if  possible.  If 
this  is  not  practicable,  lie  down.  Don’t 
remain  standing. 
“Second— Do  not  stand  under  a  tree 
with  thick  foliage.  You  are  forming  a 
part  of  the  line  of  discharge,  since  the 
body,  more  particularly  the  skin  if  moist, 
is  a  better  conductor  than  the  trunk  of 
the  tree.  More  people  are  killed  by 
lightning  in  this  way  than  probably  any 
other. 
“Third — Don’t  stand  in  the  doorway 
of  a  barn  or  at  a  window  in  proximity 
to  a  chimney.  There  are  currents  of  air 
or  winds,  and  the  lightning  follows  to 
some  extent  any  draft  or  column  of  rising 
air,  especially  warm  air. 
“Fourth — Don’t  laugh  at  any  one’s 
nervousness  during  a  severe  thunder¬ 
storm.  There  is  a  good  reason  to  be 
nervous.  Even  if  one  is  in  a  building 
that  is  struck  the  damage  is,  in  98  cases 
out  of  a  100,  confined  to  ripping  out  of 
plaster  or  knocking  off  slates  and  tearing 
off  any  projecting  timbers.  But  there 
are  times  when  the  storm  clouds  de¬ 
scend  to  earth  and  amid  darkness  the 
flashes  are  heavy  and  numerous.  At  such 
times  there  is  danger.  It  is  dangerous 
to  be  near  a  chimney  or  a  tree  or  a  flag¬ 
pole  or  a  metal  clothesline. 
“Fifth — Stock  should  not  be  tied  near 
a  wire  fence. 
“Sixth — There  is  no  particular  sense 
in  going  to  bed.  Standing  on  glass  or 
rubber  or  any  good  insulator,  a  woolen 
blanket  for  example,  will  give  one  a  little 
more  security  and  a  great  deal  more  con¬ 
fidence. 
“Seventh — If  you  are  near  a  person 
who  has  been  struck  make  every  effort 
to  rescuscitate  him.  Only  rarely  does 
lightning  kill  outright.  Mostly  people 
are  stunned,  and  all  that  is  needed  is  a 
little  artificial  respiration  to  restore  them 
to  consciousness.  Of  course  get  a  doctor 
quick. 
“Eighth — If  you  are  in  a  trolley  car 
and  a  flash  comes  in  and  burns  the  fuses 
with  a  roar  and  a  blinding  flash  sit  still. 
The  danger  is  over,  and  while  you  may 
be  frightened  you  are  not  likely  to  be 
hurt. 
Ninth — If  you  have  a  radio,  better 
cut  it  out  during  a  thunderstorm.  The 
antennae  should  be  grounded  direct  and 
all  wires,  as  far  as  possible  kept  outside. 
“Tenth — If  your  .house  is  provided 
with  good  lightning  rods  you  need  not 
have  much  fear.  Moreover,  dwelling 
houses  in  city  blocks  are  practically 
safe.” 
He  Want  More  Spoon  Victual 
The  Hope  Farm  man  is  quite  correct 
when  he  says  that  the  consumption  of 
potatoes  for  food,  in  New  York  for  in¬ 
stance,  has  been  greatly  restricted  ever 
since  the  high  prices  of  1919-1920.  And 
with  good  reason  too.  As  a  matter  of 
fact — people  in  town  and  country,  were 
eating  too  many  potatoes.  It  was  thought 
that  a  meal — dinner  without  potatoes  was 
no  dinner  at  all,  whereas  other  vegetables 
are  found  to  be  every  bit  as  good,  ex¬ 
cept  that  they  are  good — what  is  called 
a  “filler.”  Potatoes  appear  to  be  more  of 
a  “filler”  to  supply  bulk  or  roughage. 
Soups  and  fricasseses  supply  “fillers”  or 
bulk,  as  well  as  potatoes  and  much  more 
healthful. 
The  writer  up  to  about  a  year  ago  im¬ 
agined  that  a  meal  without  potatoes  was 
no  meal  at  all,  that  is,  a  dinner  or  prin¬ 
cipal  meal,  and  if  I  chanced  to  partake 
of  the  day’s  meals  without  potatoes, 
would  have  to  have  a  potato  in  some  form 
before  I  retired  that  night.  That  was 
silly  imagination.  Other  vegetables  as 
onions,  boiled  or  stewed,  tomatoes,  mac¬ 
aroni  take  their  place.  There  are  not 
enough  vitamines  in  potatoes.  Tomatoes 
are  the  great  vitamine  food,  and  onions 
are  a  great  kidney  and  bladder  corrective. 
I  think  we  have  been  all  wrong  in  our 
manner  of  eating.  It’s  potatoes  and  meat 
and  maybe  another  vegetable  that  com¬ 
prises  the  regular  dinner  at  hotels,  board¬ 
ing  houses  and  mostly  in  the  home.  Fre¬ 
quently  there  is  no  soup,  and  if  at  all, 
it  is  a  small  plate  of  thin  stuff. 
I  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  we 
are  not  taking  our  meals  in  the  right 
way.  I  refer  chiefly  to  dinner  or  princi¬ 
pal  meal.  Our  dinner  should  not  be  eaten 
dry,  as  potatoes  and  meat,  but  the  meat 
and  the  potatoes  and  the  other  vegetables 
should  be  all  mixed  and  boiled,  not  fried, 
together  in  the  form  of  a  thick  soup,  a 
sort  of  Irish  stew,  and  eaten  with  a 
spoon.  The  knife  and  fork  need  to  be 
abandoned.  The  knife  and  fork  should 
give  way  to  the  spoon.  We  need  to  be 
spoon-fed  rather  than  lifting  dry  food 
with  the  fork  and  calling  it  suitable 
mouthfulls  with  the  knife.  At  least  that 
is  what  I’m  doing  when  at  home.  Of 
course  I  cannot  follow  this  practice  when 
away,  as  I  am  a  good  deal,  in  hotels  and 
private  houses.  People  are  also  eating 
too  much  bread,  and  not  enough  cereal, 
as  oatmeal,  com  flakes  with  cream  or 
rich  milk.  Owing  to  the  universal  prac¬ 
tice  of  eating  potatoes  and  meat,  bread 
and  tea— dry  foods  diluted  with  probably 
two  cups  of  tea,  blood  diseases  amongst 
the  people  are  becoming  very  common ;  in 
diseases  of  the  skin,  as  eczema,  rash, 
blotches,  etc.  Eczema  is  becoming  very 
common  at  least  in  the  country.  If  peo¬ 
ple  used  more  tomatoes,  canned  toma¬ 
toes  in  Fall  and  Winter  these  skin,  or 
scurvy  diseases  would  soon  cease.  To¬ 
matoes  are  anti-scurvy  and  are  particu¬ 
larly  rich  in  the  anti-scurbutic  vitamine. 
Tomatoes  also  contain  an  appreciable 
quantity  of  the  water  soluble  as  well 
as  the  fat  soluble  vitamine.  Tomatoes 
are  probably  the  best  all  round  food  one 
can  eat.  The  writer  is  a  great  consumer 
of  canned  tomatoes,  used  in  two  ways,  as 
a  sauce  warmed  from  the  can,  and  in 
soup.  Cream  tomato  should  be  the  base 
of  all  soups,  that  is  to  say  the  bases 
should  be  milk  and  tomatoes,  butter  and 
onions.  To  this  a  few  potatoes,  chopped 
meat,  chopped  bread  crumbs  or  flour, 
followed  by  a  rice  pudding  with  plenty  of 
cream  and  sugar.  Rice  is  a  splendid 
cereal  and  pudding.  A  rice  pudding  made 
with  milk  and  eggs,  is  a  blood  cleanser 
and  a  stomach  soother.  And  there  are 
others.  But  the  dry  foods  as  meat,  po¬ 
tatoes,  bread  and  tea  and  probably  pie, 
should  be  cast  to  the  relics,  and  sloppy 
food  take  their  places.  J.  A.  m. 
Filtering  Tractor  Oil 
In  your  “Simple  Science”  column,  page 
899,  W.  A.  W.  asks  how  to  filter  tractor 
oil.  I  am  afraid  if  he  tries  the  hat  racket 
he  will  require  a  whole  lot  of  felt  hats, 
and  think  lie  will  have  a  long  wait  if  he 
can  induce  this  oil  to  leak  through  it.  If 
he  will  take  a  milk  can,  and  if  he  has 
steam,  put  a  coil  in  this  and  heat  it  up 
with  steam  (it  will  not  hurt  the  oil 
should  it  come  to  a  boiling  point),  then 
allow  it  to  settle  for  three  or  four  days ; 
the  carbon  and  grit  will  settle  to  the  bot¬ 
tom  of  can.  If  he  has  no  steam,  expose 
to  the  sun  and  give  it  plenty  of  time.  We 
reclaim  oil  in  this  wTay,  and  it  can  he 
used  over  once  or  twice  before  throwing 
it  away.  We  have  valves  in  our  tanks 
at  different  heights  so  we  can  draw  off 
the  oil.  The  oil  company  uses  fuller’s 
earth,  but  it  would  not  pay  him  to  go  to 
this  expense.  rioiiakd  h.  kiddle.

“Holler  Craw” 
A  Summer  trouble  with  poultry  known 
as  “Holler  Craw”  is  thus  described  by 
G.  S.  Vickers  of  the  Ohio  College : 
“When  Summer  comes  and  eggs  are 
cheap,  people  say  they  can’t  afford  to 
keep  feeding  a  mash,  and  the  flock  is  left 
to  live  on  bugs,  worms,  grass  and  such 
grain  as  can  be  picked  up.  The  trouble 
with  this  is  that  the  ration  is  not  bal¬ 
anced,  and  a  hen  that  has  to  live  on  it 
goes  out  of  production  and  cannot  be 
brought  back  into  laying  during  late  July, 
August,  and  the  early  Fall  months^  when 
eggs  are  scarcer  and  higher.  Pullets  sim¬ 
ilarly  left  to  fend  for  themselves  can 
never  be  developed  to  their  best  capac¬ 
ities,”  he  adds.
