WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...DEC. 16, 1882 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. ORANGE CULTURE. If there is any other tree more pleasing to the eye than the orange tree—if there can be found in any part of the world a more beautiful vista than that of a well-kept orange grove—the pen of author and brush of painter have failed to describe it. It is a beautiful sight at all times and seasons, but it is in its full glory in December, bleak December. For it is then that the fruit becomes a golden yellow, and the leaves, washed by the rains, form an exquisite setting for the ripening orange. The tree itself, naturally symmetrical, is made more shapely by skillful pruning; and, take it all in all, there is no earthly possession more enviable than an orange grove. A writer in the December number of Harper's Magazine, referring to an orange grove in this county, says: "The air was heavy with the fragrance from extensive avenues of limes as we came up to it. The orange trees were propped to prevent them breaking under their weight of fruit. Forty oranges on a single bough, so close together as to touch—I have seen it with my own eyes." The orange tree bears a close resemblance to the formal idealized plant, with its symmetrical fruit, which the medieval painters were accustomed to construct for that momentous "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" of the first chapter of Genesis." No wonder, then, that it is the ambition of so many members of the human family to become owners of such groves as depicted, and to live in a land whose generous climate fosters the growth of the tropic orange. And this leads us to the question of locality. No more erroneous idea was ever entertained than that any part of Southern California—any part of Los Angeles county—is fitted for orange culture. On this point we wrote some years ago: "There are places within the borders of this county that are no more fitted for orange culture than are the pine regions of Maine, and an attempt to raise the juicy orange or the wild cherry in our home would be $175 a year, why cannot a twenty-acre orchard be made to give an annual income of $7,000? she very pertinently asks. And she answers the question by alleging incapacity and bad management on the part of the owners." An intelligent and practical orange grower, writing to the Gazette two years ago on the subject of orange culture, and in reply to the question, "Is there any money in it?" said: And now, let us get down to the pertinent part of your inquiry. "Whether there is any money in it; and although I have fully as much faith in seedling trees, yet as budded fruit is now the fashion we will make our calculations on that basis. In Italy, the old cast and best orange growing country from which we can gather authentic facts, they set 100 of seedling and 200 of budded trees to the acre. We will start in with ten acres of land and put only 100 budded trees to the acre. Then we have 10 acres choice land with water and stock...$ 500.00 1000 trees 1-yr buits on 2-yr roots...250.00 Cultivation and water 8 yrs (sample) 4000.00 Interest at 10 per cent...1000.00 Total amount...$5750.00 From that we can certainly deduct $750 for oranges to be sold during the last four of the eight years, giving an 11-year old orchard—9 year old budded trees on 2-year old stocks—at a cost of $500. Now, I don't believe there is a man in Los Angeles county who knows anything about an orange grove, that will estimate the average annual crop of oranges after the trees are eleven years old as low as 500 to the tree, on either buds or seedlings) but let us be safe and put it at that, and although I believe that in eight years of growth of the great, great West, and in the increased facilities for transportation then, that oranges will be higher instead of lower, still, we will not calculate on that. It we raise good oranges and put them up in good shape still we must not calculate on $8 nor $7.50 nor even $6 per box; but let us put them so low that Kearney's Sand Lotters—if there are any then—can buy a few, down to half a cent apiece on the tree. Then we have the annual interest on the cost of an 11-year old orange grove, viz. $500; cost of cultivation and irrigation, $500; total, $1000. Contra: 500,000 oranges at 3 cent each, $2.50—Annual profit, $1500. Now, this is not the profit that is generally figured on an orange grove, and I don't believe that it is nearly the profit that there is in an orange grove; but in making estimates we should be positively safe. In regard to the work and cost of an orange grove I do know whereof I speak; and I know that a man can thoroughly cultivate a ten-acre orchard with six hours work of each working day in the year; that the cost of water will not exceed $25 nor his utilities $20, with just work enough for a pair of light horses to give them $175 a year, why cannot a twenty-acre orchard be made to give an annual income of $7,000? she very pertinently asks. And she answers the question by alleging incapacity and bad management on the part of the owners." Editor Gazette Akhbair, an Alguerist of the following tax year in a vineyard year in Algiers.

On this point we wrote some years ago: "There are places within the borders of this county that are no more fitted for orange culture than are the pine regions of Maine, and an attempt to raise the juicy orange or the wild cherry in our home would be $175 a year, why cannot a twenty-acre orchard be made to give an annual income of $7,000? she very pertinently asks. And she answers the question by alleging incapacity and bad management on the part of the owners." And this leads us to the question of locality. No more erroneous idea was ever entertained than that any part of Southern California—any part of Los Angeles county—is fitted for orange culture. On this point we wrote some years ago: "There are places within the borders of this county that are no more fitted for orange culture than are the pine regions of Maine, and an attempt to raise the juicy orange or the acidulous lemon in such places would be the height of folly. Any locality where the thermometer during winter frequently marks 23° or 28° Fahr., his altogether arctic for the successful growth of citrus trees. As a matter of fact, the area in which orange culture can be carried on with safety and profit is limited, even in this county. The much-vaunted San Gabriel valley has been frequently visited by jurious frosts; in portions of Los Angeles city the winter frosts are so intense that all attempts to grow orange trees have been abandoned; and in the Downey and Artesia region there are only a few isolated trees growing with any thrift." An orange grower of experience, referring to the question of locality, said in an address before the Anaheim Horticultural Society: Land agents are apt to represent the area adapted to the successful culture of the orange larger than actual tests justify. Experience has shown that it is really much smaller than any of us thought a few years ago. Within only a very short time large numbers of trees were being planted throughout the northern part of the State also in low, wet and cold lands in our immediate vicinity. With but few exceptions, these ventures have proved failures. These views have been strengthened by subsequent observation and experience, and the warning is of deep import to those who come to this county with the intention of engaging in the culture of the orange, the lemon and the lime. From a point six miles north and east of Anaheim, clear south to San Diego, and back from the coast ten to twelve miles, the climate is extremely favorable for the culture of citrus fruits, and the orange can be profitably grown at any point within the area mentioned where there is suitable soil and sufficient water for irrigation. The orange trees of Anaheim, and in the locality known as North Anaheim, are as thrifty and fruitful as the most exacting could wish. The trees make a wonderful growth, and the fruit is as sweet and grows as large as is desirable. Mr. S. Robinson, a recognized authority on matters horticultural, asserts that there are in Florida orange trees over one hundred years old that have borne 20,000 oranges at one time. There are some who will read this article who may yet see an hundred-year-old California orange tree, and who may amuse themselves by counting even more oranges pendent from it than borne by the Florida patriarchs, for in prolificness California trees are fully the match for those of Florida.

But the most uneasy of them all at this particular juncture is the Sultan of Turkey, who, to protect his precious life and thus prevent lamentation in his harem, has had constructed an armored carriage, bullet and grenade proof, in which to take his daily rides among his loving and beloved subjects. Hanging is not played out in the United States. For a time the good old custom fell into desuetude, but the timely remark of a brutal murderer, who on being arrested said to the officers, "Hanging for murder is played out" aroused the people and the courts to the danger of encouraging such a feeling among the vicious classes. There were seven hangings in various parts of the Union on last Friday, and scarcely a week passes without the hangman's services being brought into requisition. The stern enforcement of the edict, "a life for a life," will doubtless have a wholesome effect. A Washington telegram of the 9th instant says: "Secretary Teller declined today to adopt the recommendation of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, looking to the institution of suits to vacate patents issued to the Southern Pacific Railroad for lands in the Los Angeles district, Cal. The lands in question have been sold by the railroad, and the Secretary says: "Neither justice nor good policy requires the intervention of the Government to disturb the title conferred." The New York Tribune is very confident that General Butler is training for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 1884.

Robinson a recognized authority on matters horticultural asserts that there are in Florida orange trees over one hundred years old that have borne 20,000 oranges at one time. There are some who will read this article who may yet see an hundred-year-old California orange tree, and who may amuse themselves by counting even more oranges pendent from it than borne by the Florida patriarchs, for in prolificness California trees are fully the match for those of Florida. Two hundred and fifty fully matured oranges have been picked from a tree three years old from the bud. Two hundred boxes of oranges have been shipped from 300 five-year-old budded trees; 100 boxes from 85 trees four years old; 36,000 oranges from 500 budded trees six years old; 10,000 oranges from 600 trees four years old. The prices in San Francisco range from $250 to $500 and the number of oranges in a box varies from 120 to 200. In connection with this subject we are constrained to reprint the following paragraph which appeared in the Gazette a couple of years ago: "In conversation with a lady who returned but recently from a protracted visit to the East, she told us of the incredulity with which some of her statements anent the horticultural capacity of Southern California, and Anaheim especially, were received by her friends. The lady in question owns a very handsome homestead in town. On half an acre of ground surrounding the house are thirty orange trees and twenty-six lemon trees. Last season, from these thirty orange trees, she picked, counted and shipped 23,000 oranges, for which she received $175—a sum which would have been greatly increased had it not been for the smallness of the fruit, which, it will be remembered, was a feature of last year's crop. Besides these 23,000 oranges sold, five or six boxes were presented to friends, and quite a large family used the fruit without stint. The lemon trees also bore a large crop, but we forgot to ask what the pecuniary returns were from that fruit. It is not to be wondered at that, having such palpable evidence of the horticultural possibilities of the county, the lady should inveigh against the men who asperse the country and declare that its attractiveness and capacity are persistently overrated. If half an acre in orange trees can be made to yield Cal. The lands in question have been sold by the railroad, and the Secretary says: "Neither justice nor good policy requires the intervention of the Government to disturb the title conferred." The New York Tribune is very confident that General Butler is training for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 1884. He will, it predicts, use the office of Governor in a way to attract public attention. "His light," it adds, "will not be concealed under a bushel during the next year. There will be frequent proclamations from the house-tops, and if the Democracy is looking around for a reformer for a candidate in 1884 it will have hard work to turn in any direction without stumbling over Benjamin F. Butler. He is likely to answer 'Here!' a moment or so before his name is called." CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 11.—A telegram to the Inter-Ocean from Shawneetown, Illinois, says: A dreadful accident occurred at the sawmill of J. Vincent & Son at noon to day. Eleven millers were scattered about the engine room during the noonday luncheon when the boiler exploded, completely wrecking the mill, and immediately killing eight of the eleven men, and wounding three. Several of the men were actually blown into mincemeat, and friends subsequently went about with pails picking up the fragments strewn around. LEE, Mass., December 11th.—After a good fight Sunday between the partisans of Ackworth and Freeman, rival claimants to the pulpit of the Colored Methodist Church here, the Ackworth party won. In the serrimimage revolvers were drawn and Ackworth was knocked down. Ackworth preached in the evening. Subject, "Victory." CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, December 11th.—W.C.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Reprinting from the Akhbear, an Algerian paper, the Paris Moniteur Vinecode of September 23d publishes the following table of the production of this year in a vineyard planted en chaintre last year in Algiers.

Some of the grapes are known now in California, and the growers of them will find the above figures of interest, although the Algerian results from so precocious growths may be far from being guiding averages for our own acclimatizations of the corresponding plants. Carbenet Sauvignon seems to be a variety for red wine of eminent character with us, judging from trials with that vine at Mr. Drummond's property at Glen Ellen, and likewise the Petite Syrha which, on that gentleman's estate, is showing an equally grand result. Fualla and Braquet, producing according to the Algerian table the weightiest fruit, would be indicated thereby as desirable for us; the latter grape has been lately spoken of in French papers as being possessed of juice or remarkable quality, and it is in Southern France being propagated with predilection. Algiers is called to become the second vineyard of France. From 1½ million gallons of wine produced in 1876 it seems the surprisingly rich crop of 1882 has risen to 18 millions (700,000 hectolitres.) Such strides in six or eight years, surpassing the results of our vaunted energy of 25 or 30 years, will probably result in far greater issues: for a boom has set in which causes those hard-working, sober Frenchmen, whom the curse of the phylloxera obliges to look for a more blessed home, to drain cannuts and lead the waters of hill-lakes to Washington, Dec. 12.—It is understood that Postmaster-General Howe is anticipating the adoption of the two-cent letter postage and is getting ready to manufacture two-cent stamps.

Great companies are investing capital in Algiers where a viticultural prosperity will follow with which that of California cannot compare, for have we not here the mad prejudice of the nation against the use of wine as a healthgiving table drink to contend with, that will hamper the development of the viticultural industry for some time to come? Algiers has an easy and unlimited outlet for her produce. France had to import in 1881 from abroad, 211 millions of gallons of wine to add to her own crop and fill the gap in the latter for the requirements of the nation, which are about 1300 million gallons for her own use and 34 million gallons for export. We may just glean a few items from the last wine reports from France, viz: Prices of wines of other countries proper for French markets. Hungary. White, 1882, of the shore of the lake Balaton — 19 to 20 francs (19 cents each) per hectolitre (26.417 gallons). Redish white, 1882 — 10 to 12 francs per hectolitre. Red, 1882 — 20 francs at railway station, casks at 5½ francs per hectolitre. Algiers. Dark red, 1882, of Novi, 11 of alcohol — 32½ francs per hectolitre, sold 1200 hectolitres. Dark red of Oued-al-Alleng — 25 francs per hectolitre. Fine red of Sidi Ali — 25 francs per hect., sold 2000 hectets. Market of Pezenas. Imported wines from Spain. Alicante, first-class deep red, 1882 — 38 to 42 francs per hectolitre. Ordinary red Mayorca — 28 to 29 francs per hectolitre. Imported Italian deep red, 14½ alcohol, first-class — 42 francs per hectolitre. French red wines in Pezenas. Aramons, 1882 — 24 francs per hectolitre. Montague, second-class — 28 to 30 francs per hect., first-class — 32 to 33 francs per hect. Narboune, first class — 38 francs per hect. Ronsssillon, first-class — 40 to 46 francs per hect. These latter are wines of the finest and densest ruby hue for coloring and fortifying light red wines. The great demand in France is for red wines, and where purchasers for that country rule, it seems that white wines have a comparatively low value. E. POHDORFF. The corruption-tainted atmosphere of Washington has proved too much for even 1880. He bid everybody good by before the execution, and said he would come back soon. James Williams and B. Crowley, two hoodlums, went into a saloon on Fourth street, San Francisco, and attempted to "clean out" the establishment. The proprietor, Horace Jackson, a colored man, shot them both, one severely and the other will be crippled for life. When a Petalama woman was shown a picture of Lydia Pinkham, and informed that it was a portrait of Mrs. Langtry, the English beauty, she looked at it with a critix eye a few seconds and then replied, "Well, I've seen as pretty women right here in this town." A bull fight, the first in Tucson in many years, was witnessed on Sunday by over 1200 persons, mostly men and boys. Three bulls were brought into the ring and worried to the desired state of madness. The affair lacked those exciting incidents expected by the majority. Many residents condemned the proceedings as brutal. The Sixth Cavalry Band, United States Army, furnished the music. A shooting affray occurred in the Cuyama valley, San Diego county, Monday, between James Stratton and a young man named McDonald. The affray grew out of an old cattle dispute. McDonald fired three shots at Stratton, without effect. Stratton returned the fire, hitting McDonald in the arm and in the abdomen. His wounds are thought to be very serious. A prisoner's lot is not an unhappy one in some parts of Montana, as was shown by a recent scene in a saloon at Billings. A constable spent the evening playing poker with a prisoner, and the latter was a considerable winner by the game. The cause of this innovation on the usual customs of the law is that the town has no lock-up; hence officers are forced to carry their prisoners about with them and furnish entertainment. The danger of changing the habits of a lifetime was illustrated in Stockton recently. A Mexican was committed to the Insane Asylum yesterday, and in the testimony of a relative it was shown that the mania grew out of the fact that the unfortunate man a fortnight ago washed his feet in hot water and bathed his head in cold water. The experiment proved too much for him. A Santa Barbara dispatch of the 9th instant says: Mrs. G. W. Fitzpatrick, whose husband died on September 4th, was this afternoon in Squires' marble works selecting a headstone for his grave. Her little girl, about five years old, was playing about the marble works when the mother and Mr. Squires heard a thud and turned to find that a headstone had fallen and crushed the little one's skull.

Magnificent Orange and Raisin Land The corruption-tainted atmosphere of Washington has proved too much for even the virtue of the detectives of that city, and they too have been found guilty of a very low order of rascality. It appears that two men named O'Leary and Murphy are in jail, convicted of conducting swindling gambling games. The few honest people remaining in Washington having banded themselves together to try and expose the rampant corruption, sent a committee to interview the convicted men, and succeeded in getting astounding disclosures. Each detailed the circumstances of many robberies, including that of the Government Printing Office, and gave the names of the thieves and detectives who "stood in," as well as accepting a percentage of the proceeds of the robberies. The thieves paid the detectives 20 per cent. The detectives, it was even said, planned some jobs and selected the men to execute them. Murphy and O'Leary gave a circumstantial account of the Christianity diamond robbery, and alleged that the diamonds of the ex-Minister, valued at from $15,000 to $20,000, were disposed of at a great sacrifice in New York, and a heavy percentage given to two detectives, who are named. The wife of one of these men, O'Leary said, now wears dresses made from silk taken in the Burdette robbery and given to the detective as his part of the plunder. It is alleged that the entire detective force of the District received dividends levied weekly upon bunko and monte men. The detectives involved, save ten who were dismissed for betraying the Government's interests in the star-route cases, are yet on the force. A Santa Barbara dispatch of the 9th instant says: Mrs. G. W. Fitzpatrick, whose husband died on September 4th, was this afternoon in Squires' marble works selecting a headstone for his grave. Her little girl, about five years old, was playing about the marble works when the mother and Mr. Squires heard a thud and turned to find that a headstone had fallen and crushed the little one's skull. The mother's grief was so heartrending that the physicians administered chloral to her and rendered her unconscious. Mrs. J. M. Strong, widow of the late Col. Strong, says the Merced Argus, is now gathering the best crop of cotton, we believe, ever raised in Merced county. The crop occupies 225 acres of Merced river-bottom land, and Mrs. Strong has some eighty or ninety hands engaged in packing, ginning and baling the crop. Col. Strong commenced the cultivation of cotton in connection with H. F. Buckley and brother in 1869 or 1870, and the family have continued the business profitably ever since. We are informed that the yield on the 225 acres this season will be in the neighborhood of 100 bales of 400 pounds each. The land upon which it is produced has been cultivated many years, most of it having been cropped continually since 1851. The dairymen in council assembled at San Francisco adopted a resolution requiring members to make butter in a standard mold of two pounds weight. A bill to be presented to the Legislature was submitted and adopted. It forbids the manufacture of oleomargarine, or mixing butter with this product, and making rolls of the size and shape adopted by the dairymen; that all packages of oleomargarine offered for sale shall be distinctly marked as such; that dealers, hotel and restaurant-keepers, etc., shall, in offering oleomargarine to customers, distinctly announce it as such.

THE GREAT STORM JACKSON'S Of January 12th., 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the READY FOR INSPECTION SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16th. THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy tale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the underigned escaped injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self-regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having ADJUSTABLE STROKE (4 different lengths) in the ease and noiselessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold.
