GUM DISEASE IN APRICOT TREES. Cultivator's Guide Dr. A. L. Cole of Santa Ana, Los Angeles county, has written to the Collector's Guide in relation to a disease attacking sprout trees. In his first letter he states that a five-year-old tree, when laden with fruit this last spring, commenced to wither, and gum oozed from the trunk. Ten days from the first appearance of the disease the tree died. In reply the following inquiries were made: 1. Is the bark between the surface of the ground and the roots perfect, or can you detect any signs of disease? Is there any insect life to be found around the trees under the ground? 2. How often were the trees irrigated last year, and this spring, and at what dates? 3. Does the gum cover the entire body of the tree? Dr. Cole answers as follows: 1. The bark between the surface of the ground and the roots of the infected trees is delayed in spots, perhaps one tenth of the whole. The balance of the bark is perfect. The delayed spots are from the size of a ten cent piece to that of a silver dollar; and from them nine inches a smaller streak of delayed bark as far as into the larger branches. This delayed bark lies up house from the wood, and along its line the gum oozes out, spreads a little, and hardens. Under the delayed bark just below the surface of the ground, about the joint of the gofft, there ALL ABOUT LEMONS. New York Sun. It seems to be understood among the foreign fruit dealers of this city that Mr. F. Baker knows all that is worth knowing about lemons. He says that nearly all the lemons we get in this market come from Naples, Palermo, Bodio, Sorrento and Messina. A few of this year's crop are already arriving from Malaga, but they are very green, have to be ripened here, and are not fine lemons. From whichever of the ports named they come the usual way of getting the lemons here is by sending them in steamers around by way of Liverpool. Some are shipped in sailing vessels, but they are not apt to arrive in good condition. The voyage is too long. Dealers in Italy buy lemons from the growers and take their chances in this market, shipping them here for sale at auction. The auction sales of lemons here are often very large, those of a single day, in the height of the season, frequently amounting to 50,000 or 60,080 boxes. Their value depends entirely upon their quality and the supply in the market. Sometimes they are sold for $1 a box, and at other times they command as high as $14 or $15. Even good lemons occasionally do not bring at auction enough to pay the freight upon them. The dealers here do not have regular agents at the points of shipment, but cargoes and lots are sent to them all the time by local correspondents who buy on speculation. Just now the least lemons are worth about PLANTERS HOTEL ANAHEIM, Los Angeles County, Cal. HENRY S. KNAPP, Proprietor. D. W. HUDSON.

LEONARD, Proprietor. QUICK TIME AND CHEAP FARES To Eastern and European Cities CENTRAL PACIFIC R. R. OR SOUTHERN PACIFIC R. R. Dr. Cole answers as follows: 1. "The bark between the surface of the ground and the roots of the infected trees is delayed in pots, feels one tenth of the whide. The balance of the bark is perfect. The decayed spots are from the size of a ten cent piece to that of a silver dollar; and from them rises towards a smaller streak of diluted bark as far into the larger branches. This decayed bark lies up loose from the wedge, and along its line the gum cases spread a little, and hardens." Under the decayed bark just below the surface of the ground, about the point of the graft, there are many small which brown worms from microscopic size to the quarter of an inch in length, the largest about ninth as a fine knitting needle, specimens of which I send you. 2. "I do not know the dates of irrigation, excepting that I irrigated them last February or March by flooding with about seven meters of water. 3. "I should judge the gum covers about three thirds the surface of the bark, possibly a little more on the tree that died. There is very little above the base of the largest branches. The trees are apparent roots, but the roots proper appear to be in good order." In my investigations of this disease, reported from other districts, I concluded that the trouble originated from alkali in the ground where the trees infested were planted, particularly irrigated districts; therefore my reasons for making the above inquiries, so fully answered by Dr. Cole. At present I think that the attack commences under the surface of the ground at least one year previous to the time it was noticed; the alkali destroying portions of the bark, and in this number girdling the cannon layer, preventing the sap from returning to the roots, and thus infesting the strip above the wounds referred to by Dr. Cole. In such land the earth should be scraped from around the base of the trunk of the tree down to the roots, and the bark thoroughly washed once or twice with a strong alkaline wash, such as concentrated lye pointed to the gallon of water. This should be done when the tree is dormant, and will produce a new bark on the parts slightly infested. The healing of the diseased parts of trees affected by scraping down to healthy wood and bark, and covering as related by Mr. De Long, at a late meeting of the State Horticultural Society. After scraping the wound, coat with grating wax, paint, cow dung or clay, and wrap with sacking. If Mr. Cooke is aware as to the alkaline character of the soil be true, a radical cure might be effected by some of the means recommended by Prof. Higgard in his discussion of "Alkali Soils," in the Reports of the College of Agriculture. As to whether any particular soil is alkaline or not, can be determined by haging an analysis made free of charge, at the College of Agriculture. A pamphlet giving directions for taking soil specimens will be sent on application to Prof. E.W.Higgard. are often very large, those of a single day, in the height of the season, frequently amounting to 50,000 or 60,000 boxes. Their value depends entirely upon their quality and the supply in the market. Sometimes they are sold for $1 a box, and at other times they command as high as $14 or $15. Even good lemons occasionally do not bring at auction enough to pay the freight upon them. The dealers here do not have regular agents at the points of shipment, but cargoes and lots are sent to them all the time by local correspondents who buy on speculation. Just now the best lemons are worth about $6 a box. "That is an ordinarily good price. The new Malaga lemons are selling for $3 to $5 per box. They come in large boxes of 400, 150 or 300 in a box. The gathering of the Italian lemons this year has just begun but the height of the season will be from February to June next. Some soft, juicy lemons will not keep more than a month; no matter how much care is bestowed upon them, while others that are hard will keep for four months. The Messina lemons, which are, as a rule, the best that come from Italy, are also the best to keep. Palermog rank next, and the poorest, as a general thing, are from Naples. But Mr. Baker says that there is no rule by which you can set it down that the fruit from one place will be uniformly better than that from another place. He has seen Naples lemons fetch more at auction than Messinas. There may be varieties among lemons he says, as there are among apples, though dealers do not know anything about their here, and only lump them all under the names of the places they come from. "It looks to me," he added, "as if each season, each particular town and each individual tree was liable to be a law unto itself and turn out; just as the chances may fall either much better or much worse lemons than usual. As a sort of glittering generality, I believe it may be said that better lemons will come from high ground than from low ground; but in the language of the Mormon Bible: "Blossom is he who expects nothing; for he shall not be disappointed." A good many people have an erroneous idea that lemons are ripened and colored by artificial heat and sulphur fumes, and I don't know what all. But these notions are simply "bush." The lemon starts from home green and hard, but the paper in which it is clad ripens it so rapidly that by the time it is off sale, at retail, its coat is a fine yellow and it is as jovial as if it had ripened on the tree—almost. That is all the trick and device there is about ripening lemons for the market and coloring them. "South American lemons do not come to this market much. They are too tender to stand the voyage. A small quantity is received from Jamaica, but the limes shipped from there are more important than the lemons, and are growing in popularity all the time. People are getting to know that one good time is worth ten ordinary lemons—well several, anyway—and are governing themselves accordingly.

KIDNEY-WORT A disinfectant introduced to the medical profession by the late Dr. Gooden has been used in London eight years. Half a drachm of nitrate of lead should be dissolved in one pint or more of boiling water, and two drachms of common salt in a bucket of water. Pour the two solutions together, and let the sediment subside. A cloth dipped in this and hung up in a room will sweeten a fetal atmosphere instantly, or the solution thrown down a drain or over a heap of rubbish will produce a like result. Clothing worn by a patient with infections disease, or bed linen, can be put at once into this solution without injury to the material, thus destroying the risk of infection for those persons who wash the clothing. Although it is a strong poison taken internally, it does not injure the skin. A room could be scrubbed with the solution, and would be sweetened at once by the process. Peanut Flour. The value of the peanut crop of this country for the current year is estimated by the Savannah Telegraph at $3,000,000. That paper says that "the Virginians are beginning to turn the peanut into flour, and say it makes a peculiarly palatable 'biscuit.' In Georgia there is a custom, now growing old, of grinding or pounding the shelled peanuts and turning them into pastry, which has some resemblance, both in looks and taste, to that made of cocoanut, but the peanut pastry is more oily and richer, and we think, healthier and better every way." A fashion writer says the "leg-of-mutton sleeves have not proved successful." An opinion got started that they looked sheep. The commission appointed in France to consider the phylloxera has not awarded to anybody the prize of three hundred thousand francs that was offered to the discoverer of a trustworthy remedy or preventive for the fatal grape disease. There were not less than 182 competitors for the prize; but none had made a discovery that filled the bill. It is said, however, that a Strasburg physician has found in naphthaline an absolutely trustworthy remedy. This liquid is poured upon the ground about the root of the vine, and it is said that it kills the parasites without hurting the grape. GAZETTE. SEPTEMBER 1, 1883. NO. 47 OUT LEMONS. New York Sun.

Lemons are worth about INDIAN FARMERS IN NORTH CAROLINA. The Indian farmers in Western North Carolina are located in Swain county, fifty miles from any railroad, and comprise one thousand eight hundred men, women and children. When the Cherokees were removed to their new reservation, these Indians, that is, this remnant, absolutely refused to go and the Government finally consented to their remaining. They are most of them, farmers. Their “farms” run in size from one hundred acres down to ten. They own their land, live pretty well, and use the same implements as the whites. They raise corn, wheat, small fruits, and vegetables, making a specialty of sweet potatoes. They plow generally the year round, the winters are so mild. Their farms present a fair appearance, the fields being inclosed with the Virginia rail fence. They do their own horse shoeing, and other work pertaining to the blacksmith shop. As a general thing they are moral, and do not use intoxicating drinks. They are under the leadership of Chief Jarrett Smith. Chief Smith is about forty years of age, straight as an arrow, and over six feet high. He has a wife and eight children. The children have been taught English, and two of them are able to teach in any school in the country. The people go to Chief Smith for advice, and obey him. While they observe the legislative enactments of North Carolina, they make laws Hot Water and Beef. A writer in the New York Tribune sounds the praises of hot water and chopped beef as a wholesome diet. The chopped beefsteaks are made from the most tender and juicy part of the round, chopped in such a manner as to separate the nutritious part from the tough cellular or fibrous structure that contains it and which forms more than one-third of the substance. This pulp is carefully removed with a spoon and lightly formed into a cake of the thickness of an ordinary beefsteak, broiled and seasoned with salt, pepper and other condiments. This is pronounced perfectly digestible and far more delicious than a filet steak. Two glasses of hot water taken an hour and a half before eating, and a diet of this beef will, it is said, give the most incorrigible dyspeptic new views of life. Southern Factories.

"A Blessing in Disguise." 484 ADVERTISE ST., BROOKLYN, N.Y. March 29, 1881 No family should be without Alliance's Poison Plasters; their healing powers are wonderful and their efficacy for reaching and lasting. For years past I have seen and known them to cure and relieve the most obstinate and distressing cases of rheumatism, kidney complaint, bronchitis, neuralgia, lumbago, inflammation of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own case they have afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are a blessing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be without them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nervous exhaustion and other ailments. A strengthening plaster also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. I have never found a plaster of efficacious and stimulating or to give so much general satisfaction. Used in connection with Braunstein's universal life giving and life healing Pinsel, no one need disparp of a specially restoration to good sound health. Mrs. E. Tompkins. One Trial. If you have been using other Plasters one trial of Alliance's Poison will convince you of their wonderful superiority. Take no other so-called porous plasters that claim to be better; they are all frauds gotten up to sell on the world-wide reputation of the genuine article. Crackers say the Nature play a large part in the superstitious observances of the ordinary Chinese. It is a popular belief that the evil spirits everywhere inhabiting the air are dispersed by crackling noises attended by fire and smoke. Accordingly crackers are used in all special occasions to frighten away the demons who are tormenting a sick person or who crowd around the people at the beginning of the new year. Bamboo which emits when burning a crackling sound is also used for the same purposes. That's So! Ordinarily he who buys second-hand goods realizes when it is too late that he has not bought them but he wants to buy them. A New Creed. Chicago, Aug. 25. The inhabitants of Rushville, in the central southern portion of the State, are viewing with much disquietude the steady and rapid growth of the so-called religious movement which starled about a year ago and has already secured formidable numbers of adults whose methods of worship and social tenets bear so close a resemblance to those of the Mormons and free-lovers, that unless some check is given to the growth of the sect, it is probable it may make as much noise as did Joseph Smith and his followers at Nauvoo. The founder of the body, which now has a membership of over 300, is building a temple. His name is Caleb Anderson Obenshain, and he is an Methodist preacher, 45 years of age. Obershain, some time ago, announced to the people that one Rayburn, another Methodist minister who had also been forced from the conference on account of his departure from orthodoxy, was a man sent from God to bring them to light. The newcomer was welcomed, and proved a valuable addition to the propaganda department of the "Pilgrim Band," as the new society had come to be known. The Pilgrims soon came to accept Rayburn as their head, and in their praise songs the word "God was omitted and the word "Rayburn" substituted. One of the earliest innovations practiced by both Obenshain and Rayburn was the alleged healing of the sick by faith and prayer. Their claims of accomplishments in this direction are exciting indignation from those who see clearly through the finay pretense. They espouse free love, and have erected a temple at a cost of $50,000. The growth of the body has been rapid, and it is fast making converts, not only in Schuyler, but also in Brown, Cass, Mason and other alljoining counties, where missionary meetings are frequently held by representatives of the new faith. That's So! Ordinarily he who buys second-hand goods realizes when it is too late, that he has made a bad mistake—but he who invents fifty cents in Swayne's Ointment does a wise thing, and the people of the world (who ought to know everything) will say of him: "Ah! that man has a level head—next winter we will place him in Congress." Itching Piles, Barber's Ithb, Prairie Ithb, Tetter, Pimples and Blotches, Ringworm. Salt Rheum, Erysipelas and other eruptions all flee its path. Ask your druggist for it. A Hungerford, Ia., couple went to La Mars on the 19th of July, to be married; but it seems that they had not settled their denominational preferences, for at the hotel they quarreled about the clergyman to be employed, the swain wanting a Methodist, while the lady would have none but a Congregationalist divine. The upshot of the matter was that the lady walked back to Hungerford Township, and the man, after waiting a day for her to relent, also went home. Millions Given Away. Millions of bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Congha and Colida, have been given away as trial Bottles of two large size. This enormous outlay would be disastrous to the proprietors, were it not for the rare merits possessed by this wonderful medicine. Call at Higgins' Drug Store and get a trial bottle free, and try for yourself. It never fails to cure. On a railway line a passenger stopped the guard and asked: "Why don't the trains go faster?" "They run fast enough to suit us. If you don't like the rate of speed, get out and walk," was the rejoinder. "I would," replied the passenger, "but that my friends won't come for me until the train comes in, and I don't want to be waiting about the station for two or three hours." "A fair outside is but a poor substitute for inward worth." Good health inwardly, of the bowels, liver and kidneys, is sure to secure a fair outside, the glow of health on the cheek and vigor in the frame. For this use Kidney-Wort and nothing else.
