Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...OCTOBER 28, 1876. PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIONS. There seems to be a general feeling among the apiarians of this end of the county, of a want of system regarding the raising and preparation of honey for the market, and the need of establishing a bee-keepers' association for the dissemination of knowledge regarding the business and thorough protection of its interests. We have published several letters touching upon that subject, and the theories and ideas advanced seem to us to be feasible and good. Two years ago an attempt was made to establish a wool-growers' association for the protection of that then flourishing branch of industry. From mismanagement and neglect the scheme fell through, and as the demand for wool diminished and the prices fell to such an extent as to discourage and dishearten the sheepraisers, the project has never been revived. During the past few months a little more activity has been displayed in the wool market, and we are caused to hope that sheep husbandry will revive. The old system of managing immense bands of sheep, with the exception of a few instances, is forever passed away, and our flocks will hereafter be smaller, and scattered over more territory, and owned by more men. It seems to us that, in view of the fact that so many more persons will be engaged in this business there is now greater need than ever for the formation of an Association among them for the establishment of more concerted action in the protection of their interests, and the dissemination of knowledge in regard to the proper management of honey interest. The HONEY INTEREST. The necessity of an Organization to Secure a Market: Eds. GAZETTE—There is one question that is interesting bee men very much at present, viz., "The best market for our honey." The bee business has assumed such proportions already, as to make this a question of great interest. We have no fear as to what the future will reveal, but it is the present which interests us most: It is too late to make any permanent arrangements for the present crop of honey; so now every bee man must be his own judge of the best markets, etc. But it is now that we should organize for another season. San Diego apiarians have formed a co-operative company and sent an agent East to sell their honey. Now, we of Los Angeles county are certainly as enterprising and able as our brethren of San Diego county, and as they were rather late for the present season, let us be in ample time for the coming. To organize ourselves into a company of this kind, under the laws of this State, and send our agent East as well as to open a correspondence with Europe, we will be in condition next year to ship our honey as it is taken from the bees, and by this time next Fall every bee man will have his money for his crop, instead of having it stored away, waiting for the price to be better. The plan, I think, should be about this: Organize into a company with a capital stock sufficient to buy all surplus honey, to be sold by those outside of the corporation; appoint one member as agent to buy and sell, prices regulated by the corporation; have a warehouse in Los Angeles; send this agent East this winter with samples to make arrangements with reliable houses throughout the Eastern cities, to take syrup.

To a boil, the first duced, and the second in the clarifyin settle, or tran The American Bee Journal for October has the following notice: "We have received a call from Mr. Chas. J. Fox, of San Diego, California, who visits Chicago on business for the San Diego Bee Keepers' Association. The honey interest in San Diego county is a large and rapidly growing one; the estimated crop this year being 500,000 pounds of comb, and about an equal amount extracted or strained honey. Mrs. Fox has samples of both which we consider very fine. The Association, which was incorporated about three months ago under the laws of California, is a co-operative one, in the interest of the producers. They propose to repack and grade all the honey shipped, affixing certificates of quality to each case in the same manner as Government stamps. They have a store-house in San Diego where this is done under the supervision of officers of the Association. Arrangements have been made for careful handling on steamers and cars and for through shipment from San Diego to Chicago or any other Eastern cities, in car loads, where the honey will be placed in the hands of commission merchants and agents for sale; the object being to sell direct from producer to consumer. The officers of the Association intend to establish a national reputation for San Diego honey, which they believe excels in body, flavor and color any other in the world. There is a very large area of honey-producing country in Southern California, embracing Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego counties, and as it can be produced for less than the materials for making artificial honey can be bought for, the public may be sure that any honey will hereafter be smaller, and scattered over more territory, and owned by more men. It seems to us that, in view of the fact that so many more persons will be engaged in this business there is now greater need than ever for the formation of an Association among them for the establishment of more concerted action in the protection of their interests, and the dissemination of knowledge in regard to the proper management of their flocks. The breeding of sheep and their care is a life-long study and experiment, and there is no one flock-master who knows it all, or who may not be benefited by the experience of his neighbor. Our wool interest, which is one of the largest industries in the State, is, and always has been, one of the most unprotected, from the want of concerted action. We look upon the establishment of a Wool-Growers' Association as a necessity for the progress and well-being of the industry, and would be pleased to see the sheep-raisers take the matter in hand and revive and complete the projects which were attempted two years ago. Bee and Bee-Keeping. The American Bee Journal for October has the following notice: "We have received a call from Mr. Chas. J. Fox, of San Diego, California, who visits Chicago on business for the San Diego Bee Keepers' Association.

This will open the market for our honey in something like business shape. Heretofore there has not been honey enough produced to justify this kind of business, but from this time on we think there will be. And the principal thing to look to, of course, is to encourage the production of the article in the largest possible quantities; for we are sure that as soon as honey is raised in large quantities there will be a better market for it. But as long as bee men must live from "hand to mouth," as all beginners must and those who work on a small scale, so long will we have no market for our honey. We aplarians of this end of the county cannot attend the beekeepers' association of Los Angeles, as the distance is too great; but brethren, be assured that our soul is in the work and we mean business when we propose this organization. We are young and weak (financially) but we think all the means necessary to carry on this organization can be had without any trouble. And to open the honey market on business principles will give all those engaged in the bee business courage, as there are many timid ones who, because they must sell to this one and to that one at very much reduced prices, become discouraged and quit the business. Every aplarian in the county, as well as those of San Bernardino county, should belong to the organization, and if there are those who must sell their honey before returns could be received from the East, the corporation should buy, and in this way the market for California honey can be under the control of the producers, and in no other way. Let us hear from the association at Los Angeles on this subject, and appoint some time to discuss this subject in particular. J. W. Sallee Santiago Cañon Oct. 20 will be placed in the hands of commission merchants and agents for sale; the object being to sell direct from producer to consumer. The officers of the Association intend to establish a national reputation for San Diego honey, which they believe exceeds in body, flavor and color any other in the world. There is a very large area of honey-producing country in Southern California, embracing Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego counties, and as it can be produced for less than the materials for making artificial honey can be bought for, the public may be sure that any honey shipped from that region is perfectly pure; and the San-Diego-Bee-Keepers, Association propose to guarantee all extracted or comb honey shipped by them. Mr. Fox intends to canvass our market and go to other Eastern cities for the same purpose. Such societies as he represents are of great benefit both to producers and consumers, and we heartily wish them success." A TRATISE ON "HOSSES."—A Cambridge youth, old Ryder's boy, says the Boston Courier, is the author of the following interesting effusion: "Hosses is useful ter draw hacks an milk wagons and hearses an a great many other useful things. They eat hay and oats for fodder an don't eat up linen dusters and door mats like a marsh goat does. A hooss will kick awfull with his hind feet. Balsle Sourserled ter hitch a close line round a nold car hooses huff once, an the old hooss kicked him soz his folks had to have a funeral for him. Its fun to ride on a hooses back. Ingins is the best riders in the world. So it's sed. They skim over the parariles an shoot buffalers an peace commissioners. I wish I was a Ningun. I'd scalp my school-teacher awful quick. When a hooss gits sour'd he'll sometimes run a thousand miles an smash thunder out of everything. A hooses tail is the usefullest thing in the world ter keep files off ov him. Their tails is also handy to make fiddle-bows out of. When a hooss gets sick soz he can't do no more work, he is sent to Ward's bone factory, an made inter toilet soap an ivory an a lot of things. Me an another fellow throwed a lot of red paper inter ole Allen's hooses nose one day, while he stood in front of the fish market. He snorted an run an throwned some fish out of the wagon, clear down ter Fort Washington. I'd like her own a hooss." Bernardino county, should belong to the organization, and if there are those who must sell their honey before returns could be received from the East, the corporation should buy, and in this way the market for California honey can be under the control of the producers, and in no other way. Let us hear from the association at Los Angeles on this subject, and appoint some time to discuss this subject in particular. J. W. SALLEE. Santiago Cañon, Oct. 20. Los Angeles papers please copy. A meek and olly hypoorite, wearing blue spectacles and looking like a monk, has recently been playing sharp tricks in French monasteries. Girod went to a monastery and declared that he was tired of this world and its vanities. He said he possessed property at Turin worth several thousand pounds which he desired to make over to the community, but, unfortunately, there was a little mortgage which must be cleared off first of all. The Father Superior advanced the sum to pay off the mortgage, and sent one of the monks with him to arrange the sale of the property and the entrance of the convert into the monastery. Girod easily managed to get rid of his companion, and the good fathers heard nothing more of the old sinner. In this way the prisoner succeeded in swindling £40 out of the Abbey of Soligny-In-Trappe, £60 out of the Monastery of Sept-Fons, £24 out of the Olivetian Brothers of Parmenle, £30 out of the Missionary Fathers of Loudes, £70 out of the Superior of Notre Dame de Lans, and £30 out of the Marist Brothers of Besancon. The confraternity were aroused by these repeated deceptions, and a warning was sent to the monasteries. When Girod presented himself with his old story to the Trappist Brothers of Briequebee, he was handed over to the police. His sleek and sanctimonious availance him not in court; he was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Goldsmith Maid trotted one mile in 2:18 in Tuesday. The track was very heavy. SYRAP FROM GRAPS. The St. Helena Star gives the following directions for making syrup from grapes: Juice from Mission grape is expressed in the ordinary way, a ton yielding about 120 gallons fit for syrup-making. After the grapes have been through the crusher, the juice is drained off, all that will run freely, when the pumice is thrown in a press-tub, and all the juice that will run white pressed out—about a couple of hours pressing will accomplish this. When the juice begins to be colored, it should no longer be used, and all the rest of the pumice may be thrown back into tanks and fermented for common wine, or sent to the still, or fed to hogs, for which latter purpose it is very good. The juice then ready, should, before it undergoes any fermenting process—that is within a day—be placed in what is called a clarifying tank, holding not less than 150 to 200 gallons, and made of planished (tinned) copper. The copper is to enable it to be heated, and the tinning to keep the acid of the juice, when cooled, from forming verdigris. This clarifying tank is over a fire, and the juice is heated up just enough to bring it to a boil. Just before this point a process is gone through to neutralize the acid and separate the starch (or albumen) contained in the juice. This consists of the use of lime. For a quantity of say one hundred and twenty gallons of juice, take three pounds of unslaked lime, slacken with enough water (1 gallon) to make it into a thick paste. Then take part of the hot juice and stir it up with this hot lime, when being reduced to a very thin state, pour it into the clarifying pan, (keeping back the sediment naturally resulting from the lime slacking) and stir it all up well. The effect of this will be instantly seen by a separation of the albumen from the juice, the former floating around in little particles like the curdling of milk, and becoming of a muddy color. The acid in the juice is by the same process also neutralized, and becomes sweet. The juice being brought to a boil, the fire should now be reduced, and the juice may either be left in the clarifying pan to cool off and settle, or transferred to other tanks GENERAL NEWS. Buffalo Bill, as a rifle shot, don't appear to be a success, he having made only eighteen out of a possible thirty-five at Rochester. At the banquet of the American Fish Culturists' Association in Philadelphia, the menu consisted of 54 varieties of fish from all parts of the world. Three faro games are in full blast in Reno, New. Each game pays a license of $400 per quarter, which gives the county a revenue of $400 per month from faro. Long John Wentworth has written his recollections. It would be interesting to know if he recollects when he had an undershirt that wasn't too short for him. The Rev. E. D. Alden, of Boston, has been appointed Secretary of the American Board of Missions, in place of Dr. Treat, resigned. Dr. Alden is well known in New England as a man of rare administrative wisdom in ecclesiastical matters. Sir George Duckett, Baronet, of Bramfield Hall, Suffolk, has been finned $125 and costs for assaulting Prudence Rouse, his cook. She "brushed against him with a fish-kettle." Sir George struck her three blows in the mouth, breaking her jaw and knocking out four of her teeth. William Roupell, the eminent forger, and ex-member of Parliament for Lambeth, who has just been discharged from Portland Prison, has applied for employment as a missionary. During the last few years Roupell has been engaged in work in the prison of a missionary character. Dr. Mary Walker is drifting back into feminine slavery. She now wears fringe up the sides of her pantalons. About fifty emigrants are expected to embark on the ship Jasper, from New York, November 1st, for Liberia. They are represented to have an excellent character for intelligence, industry and enterprise, and several are professors of religion. They will be provided with passage, provisions, house-room and medical attendance while experiencing the usual effects of the African climate, and lands of the richest quality. E. J. Baldwin has just sent a carload of thoroughbred fillies from the corner-stone of The old German Hospital, burned down a short time since, in San Francisco, was raised on Friday last. It was laid August 29, 1857, by the Grand Lodge of Masons. The contents of the box were in a good state of preservation. The power of the press has just been shown in a new form in England. A gentleman's name was struck from the polling lists at Cobham, because the Times had published a notice of his funeral, though another gentleman positively testified that he was alive and on the Continent. A prominent New York woman clairvoyant, who "tells all secrets," and "reveals the abiding-place of absent friends," for $1, invariably in advance, lost her own daughter a few days since, and immediately went weeping and begging to the Police Department asking that she might be found. The mysterious "X" who figured in the trial of the Marquis of Mantegazza, sentenced to eight years hard labor for forgiving Victor Emanuel's name, is it whispered abroad, the King's illegitimate son, the Marchese Spinola. Humor adds that as soon as the thing blows over, Moutegazza, who is innocent, will be pardoned out and rewarded. The Ventura Signal says: Frank Newby has been shipping Pampas plums to Philadelphia, where they are retained by an enterprising man from this coast. Mr. Newby has already shipped fifty dozen, and will continue sending until the supply is exhausted or the demand supplied. The West Oakland Press thus speaks of Cooper, Baily & Co.'s Circus: "The ten shows in one, and no account at that have resolved to show their checks in Oakland next Saturday. If you want to be true to yourself, stay at home and save your money from the hands of the ten allied bilks." A dispatch from Charleston says that riotous demonstrations of negroes generally supposed to be the result of the Camboy affair are reported from various points of Charleston county.

The affair was the result of a political quarrel. The Hebrew Orphan Asylum imposing new edifice, on Calverton Heights, about two miles from the northwestern section of Baltimore, was dedicated on Tuesday with solemn religious ceremonies. It is announced that the British Government intend to present St. George's House, at the Centennial grounds, to the city of Philadelphia at the close of the exhibition. B. M.

Thanks were also tendered to the loyal press of the country for its able and manly vindication of the preservation of law and liberty from the abuses of sectional influence and partisan corruption. The savings bank "scare" in New York has subsided, and depositors in the strong banks are becoming satisfied that their money is secure.

General Hampton, in a speech at Alken (S. C.), told the people to offer no resistance to arrests, but to submit quietly to everything. If the United States soldiers are ordered to fire upon the people, the latter must not resist, but bare their breasts and be willing to die for the good of their country. The contributions for the Washington Monument, which have been accumulating for several weeks in a donation box at one of the State buildings at the Exhibition, amount to 13 cents and a toothpick.

London, Oct. 26. The Newmarket Houghton meeting to-day, race for the Dellingham handicap, resulted in a dead heat for the first place between the American horse, Bay Final and the English horse Broadside. Nine horses ran. The Dewhurst plate was won by Clairmant, with plunger second, and Winchelsea third. Seven horses ran. Burlington Hawkeye: A patriotic Servian has translated "Yankee Doodle" in his native tongue, and the song is so popular that it bids fair to become the national anthem of that struggling race. It runs as follows: Yonghiatovitch Dhoodalliski camerowak tetowneki; Ridingselensk onovitch poneolodsk; Stackorelskeno fheatheromuk inter his hato-vitch; Adenask colladarovosk macharonitovenski. The Utica Herald thus refers to one of the incidents of the political canvas in that neighborhood: "E. S. Bearss, well known Republican stump speaker, made a crushing response to the argument of E. D. Taylor, of Rome, at the Democratic meeting in Lee, Saturday evening. Mr. Taylor left his new silk hat in a chair, and Mr. Bearss, who weighs nearly 240 pounds, accidentally sat upon it for an hour." Governor Fairbanks, of Vermont, in his inaugural address, said: "I shall take no time to consider national affairs. If each State will wisely and honestly conduct its own affairs so as to insure to itself and to the nation intelligent, virtuous and enterprising citizens and public servants, national affairs cannot well go amiss."

The savings bank "scare" in New York has subsided, and depositors in the strong banks are becoming satisfied that their money is secure. So many fraudulent banks have suspended during the last year or two, that an uneasy feeling is quite prevalent among all depositors, and the entirely safe banks have had to suffer from the lack of confidence. The Republicans of Colorado decline to vote for a member of the Forty-fifth Congress. At the late election their candidate was chosen by a popular vote to both the present and the next Congress. In the election next month the Democratic candidate will therefore be unopposed; and both Belfordi and Patterson will appear before the next House, claiming to have been duly elected. On the 20th inst., the proprietors of the New York Times notified their compositors that they must cut loose from the Printers' Union or the office. After deliberation, the printers resolved to stick to the Union, only about eight refusing. Las night an agent from the Printers' Union visited the Times office and peremptorily ordered all Union men out. About eight men obeyed, so that out of seventy-five fewer than twenty left, all told. The Times apprehends no difficulty now or hereafter. It is believed the Union has received a hard blow. Disraeli has adopted under the weight of his new title the unobtrusive motto, "Portnithil difhale." And his armorial bearings are a rampant mixture of argents, gules, lions, towers and eagles. Stokes, the murderer of Jim Fisk, has completed his term of imprisonment and been liberated. Governor Irwin says he will not call an extra session of the Legislature as requested by the Democratic State Central Committee, because it is unnecessary. Attorney-General Hamilton has decided that when a man's name is on the Great Register he can only be debarred from exercising the elective franchise by a suit in the District Court.

"When were you born?" casually inquired an old Chicagoian of another recently. "I don't know," was the reply. "I was so young that I can't remember anything about it." "But," urged the first speaker, "didn't your mother ever tell you?" "No," continued the other old fellow; "she doesn't remember about it either—she was away from home at the time." Texas paper: The owner of a cotton farm, who was sadly in need of pickers, approached an old darkey on the public square recently, and the following dialogue ensued: "Come, Ned, you picked cotton for me last year and I want you again." "Dunno, massa." Come along and get in wagon; I've got cotton, and I'll give you six bits a hundred." "Well, it Jes' pends on one thing." "What that?" "Is you got dat same old par scales?" "No, a bran new pair." "Well, dat bein' de case, I'll go wid you." Burlington Hawkeye: After Dio Lewis had concluded his last lecture telling people how they could live on 37 cents worth of oat meal a week, get fat and have cold victuals to give away three times a week; he went home and somebody rushing in after him in a great haste to secure his professional services; found him sitting up in bed, eating great slices of cold boiled ham, doughnuts and cold apple pie. He was much disconcerted and failed in a very awkward effort to hide a quart pitcher of hot whisky under the bed quilt. BEAUTY.—It is difficult to say what constitutes beauty in woman. The Sandwich Islanders estimate woman by their weight. The Chinese require them to have deformed feet and black teeth. A girl must be tattooed sky-blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy a South Sea Islander. African princes require their brides to have their teeth filed like those of a saw; and thus goes the world, the criterion of beauty differs according to latitude and longitude. BY TELEGRAPH SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22. Inquiries of the various masters of the Arctic fleet who arrived yesterday on the Florence, fail to elicit much in addition to their written report of the disaster. They say they are unable to state accurately the number of men left behind on the abandoned ships and those who deserted and returned as the vessel after the beginning of the movements to retreat to the mainland; but from all that can be gathered it seems probable that they must number in the neighborhood of fifty to sixty. Many of them were Kanakas. The masters express their inability to give names of but few of those lost. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24. The work of reducing the Supervisor of Election's "black list" is going on rapidly, and already about one half of those who had been placed on it have rectified their defective record. There is considerable suspicion of a colonization in this district from Alamea's many transfers are being made from there, while in numerous instances thus far attempts to find the transferred parties at the places they give as their residences in this city have been in vain. The Republicans claim that the Democrats have given up the contest in the Second District and are, by means of these transfers, endeavoring to carry the election in this city for Piper. The Call this morning says editorially that the recent attempt of Mr. Supervisor Holland to revise the list of voters after a fashion of his own, appears upon investigation to be an egregious blunder. The legal opinion published in the Call on Sunday makes it plain that the Supervisor has misconceived his duties, and points out what those duties are. The article then goes on to give cases in which a challenge or a vote would be in order, which do not include irregularity in registration or the loss of the papers, and says that Holland has made a gratuitous and unwarranted attack upon four thousand voters whose right to the ballot is presumably as good as his, and pointed out a method of determining in regard to their rights which is clearly illegal.

The dispatch sent to the Chicago Times Sunday night than Senator West, of Louisiana, has been here to get military assistance, is a base fabrication from beginning to end. Senator West has not been here since the close of the reunion, and no call, or intimation of a call, from any of the authorities of either Louisiana or Mississippi, has been received. The dispatch in question, it is believed, never went over the lines. At any rate, it is untrue in every way, shape or manner. It is merely one of the many other agencies resorted to at present by the Democratic press, says the Republican in its issue today, to prejudice the cause.

The object of this conference was the securing of an order for a large transfer of troops to Louisiana, as has been done in South Carolina.
