VITICULTURE in CALIFORNIA Professor Engene Hilgard of the University of California has an article in the January number of the Overland Monthly on "The Future of Grape-Growing in California." It is an intelligent survey of the situation. The writer refers to the fact that in 1875, or about nine years ago, the vineyard interest had touched the lowest point of depression in this State. At about that time, $8 a ton was the price paid for grapes, and the demand was not brisk at that price. Hogs were turned into the vineyards to fatten on the wasting grapes. Wagon loads of uprooted vines were cerded up and for sale as firewood in Sonoma county. About that time, also, the phylloxera was recognized, which had a further depressing effect. The change in nine years in the grape growing interests of the State has been very great. Some of the valley lands have been increased six fold in value by the progress of the grape growing interest. This fact is not to be lost sight of—that beyond the value of the grape crop from year to year, is the much greater value which has been given to land. Not only has the worth of valley land greatly increased, but hill lands which only had a nominal value have advanced in price three or four hundred per cent. This aggregate increase of values cannot be accurately defined, but it runs up into the millions. Professor Hilgard considers the question whether grape planting is likely to be overdone. The fact is noted that vineyards have recently been planted on a large scale, of wines, especially of the higher grades, has been steadily on the increase; it seems that the prospect of losses in consequence of overproduction of good wines in California is too remote to deserve serious consideration at thus time. Practically the same is true, even in a higher degree, of the raisin industry. Not only is it likely that the European production of this article will be materially decreased for some time to come, but the probable increase of consumption of an article so universally liked but thus far too high-priced to be available to the laboring classes should also be kept in view. In this case, as in that of wines, high quality will, however, be needed to maintain profits. First and second-class raisins will not be a drug in the market for many years to come; nor will there be much difficulty in converting a raisin vineyard into a wine-making one, or vice versa, by grafting, should need arise. The labor question is considered at some length in connection with the grape growing industry. The writer thinks the question of labor now in connection with the viticultural interest, is much the same in kind as the question which the cotton planters of the South raised at the close of the late Civil War: "How shall we run our large plantations?" has been answered by the practical response: "You must not run them at all, but subdivide them, and settle families on moderately-sized homesteads." Measurably the same answer will I think, have to be given to our thousand-acre grape-growers; and when they submit to the obvious necessity, their enterprises will perhaps bring them less money for the time being than if their vineyards had been "run" by gangs of Chinamen, but they will certainly rebound more to the benefit of the community at large. Whole-sale planting, whether of cotton, sugar cane, wheat or vines, is certainly the least desirabile." ANAHEIM STORAGE WAREHOUSE. GRAIN, FEED, MEAL, etc., of all Varieties. CORN SHELLED AND SHIPPED.

The only PREVENTATIVE This fact is not to be lost sight of that beyond the value of the grape crop from year to year, is the much greater value which has been given to land. Not only has the worth of valley land greatly increased, but hill lands which only had a nominal value have advanced in price three or four hundred per cent. This aggregate increase of values cannot be accurately defined, but it runs up into the millions. Professor Hilgard considers the question whether grape planting is likely to be over done. The fact is noted that vineyards have recently been planted on a large scale, some of them exceeding a thousand acres. Will this glut the market so that the small growers will be no better off than in 1875? It behoves, first of all, to consider the causes of the previous great depression, and to draw lessons therefrom. Why was it that the wines of California were a drug in the market, and barely passed muster under foreign labels? It was unquestionably because in their hurry to realize the golden harvest, the great majority of the vintners of that time aimed altogether at quantity to the neglect of quality, and threw upon the market chiefly wines badly trade from such indifferent material as the Mission grape, and which had barely time to get through their after-fermentation; consequently lacked character, and frequently spoiled on the purchasers' hands. When the standard varieties of foreign grapes, prudently introduced by far seeing men, came into bearing, bad was made worse to give to wines made of Mission must, with a slight admixture of the nobler juice, the name of the latter; thus conveying to the consumer in the East and to a few daring investigators of the new article in Europe, the idea that the noble Riesling, the Chasselas, and the best varieties of Burgundy and the Bordeleia, were so deteriorated in California climate as to yield an irredeemably faulty product, which could at most be used for dilution, to some extent, of the wines of France or Germany, but whose earthy, harsh taste would ever render them unacceptable to the knower of good wine. The phylloxera which was ravaging the vineyards of France turned attention once more to the possibility of making some use of California wines which were objectionable on account of their "foxy" taste. That was the golden opportunity for California. "From the lowly function of producing something that France would tolerate as an admixture to her wines, they have rapidly risen to that of establishing standard qualities that find favor under their own names and labels. They have become convinced, and are rapidly converting the rest of the world to the belief that the faults heretofore served in California wines were not of Nature's making; and that between the limits of Oregon and Mexico most, if not all, the most desirable qualities of European wines may be reproduced under an intelligent selection and mutual adaptation of grape-varieties, climates and soils, and by the manufacture of wines under the management of experts, instead of the hap hazard system before pursued." Attention is next called to the want of a number of competent wine experts whose judgment is unbiased by local habits contracted in Europe, and is open to modifications called for by new conditions of climate How shall we run our large plantations?" has been answered by the practical response: "You must not run them at all, but subdivide them, and settle families on moderately-sized homesteads." Measurably the same answer will I think have to be given to our thousand-acre grape-growers; and when they submit to the obvious necessity, their enterprises will perhaps bring them less money for the time being than if their vineyards had been "run" by gangs of Chinamen, but they will certainly relocalize more to the benefit of the community at large. Whole-sale planting, whether of cotton, sugar cane, wheat or vines, is certainly the least desirable form of agriculture, and compatible only with servile labor or its equivalent. Like bonanza mines, it enriches the few; but leaves the laborers in poverty and dependence, and impoverishes the soil; while diversified farming on small holdings creates general and permanent prosperity among an intelligent and independent population. It must be gravely doubted that any system of tenancy or colonization can be more than temporarily successful in connection with these large enterprises. The viticulturist, if devoted exclusively to that interest, only has employment for laborers a part of the year. Whereas, if he were to take in another branch of agriculture or one or two as dairying, and the growing of cereals to a limited extent, he would be able to furnish a full measure of employment the year round. Professor Hill gard thinks that those growing a high-grade product will have no reason to fear unremunerative prices. The tendency of scarce and high-priced labor is to raise the quality of production. "In France, the average product per acre is about one and two-thirds tons, and much less in the vineyards yielding the celebrated wines; while more than twice that amount is the least average assignable to California." A little skill in rhetoric can make comparisons do double duty. A preacher whose delight it was to startle his hearers said there were three things which a woman should both be at at the same time. First she should be like the snail always keeping within her own house; but she should not be like the snail which carries all it has upon its back. Second she should be like an echo; and speak when she is spoken to; but she should not be like an echo, which always manages to have the last word. Third she should be like the town-clock, and always keep time and regularity; but she should not be like the town-clock which speaks so loud that all the town can hear it. New York, Dec. 29.—Senor Aribel Gonzales, Consul to Philadelphia from the United States of Columbia, has just received advices that the tea plants which have been experimented with of late in that country, were in fine condition, and the prospect most excellent. Tea plants grown there had been sent to Paris and there pronounced by expert gardeners of being equal, if not superior to those of Chili.

Attention is next called to the want of a number of competent wine experts whose judgment is unbiased by local habits contracted in Europe, and is open to modifications called for by new conditions of climate and soil, and to the recognition of an excellence not exactly in accordance with any type of old-world wines. These suggestions are timely: Among the most important and at the same time most difficult questions still to be settled for California viticulture, is the special adaptation of grape varieties to local climates and soils, and to desirable blends; and before these points are settled, many heavy losses and disappointments will be sustained. At this time some communities are so sensitive on this subject, that it is unsafe to suggest a doubt of the adaptation of the local climate to certain preferred and productive grape varieties in which heavy investments have been made; and yet, the longer such delusions are indulged in the heavier will ultimately be the losses from the slow and low sales of unsatisfactory products. No one locality or region can be good for all classes of wines; and those who insist on trying to force the Riesling and the Muscat into yielding their choice products on the same acre of land, will simply find themselves distanced by prudent competitors who adapt their efforts to natural conditions. The writer suggests that when all the vineyards at present planted are in bearing, the entire product will only be about one-thirtieth of the total product of France, and will only be about equal to that of Russia and Turkey, which make no figures in the commerce of the world. The universality of the phylloxera is a fact new to us. Not only has it arrested the increase of the vine product of France, but it has appeared in Spain, Portugal, Russia and Greece. Professor Hilgard says that the phylloxera seems to be gradually spreading over the vineyards in California, in the absence of any effective system of quarantine. The other fact is that the phylloxera is not as fatal to the vine in California as in other countries. And finally, that for many years the price New York, Dec. 29.—Senor Aribel Gonzales, Consul to Philadelphia from the United States of Columbia, has just received advices that the tea plants, which have been experimented with of late in that country, were in fine condition, and the prospect most excellent. Tea plants grown there had been sent to Paris and there pronounced by expert gardeners of being equal, if not superior, to those of Chili. This decision has caused the greatest excitement in Columbia, Gonzales said last evening, and as a result many rich plantations are being rapidly established on the large savannahs, and that much money would be spent in the raising of tea. Wazel Wanyack, of Highland, Wis., recently chastised his little boy, aged six years. The child told his father that he should hang himself if he was whipped, whereupon Wanyack slapped him once or twice. The little fellow went to an outbuilding a few minutes later and almost succeeded in carrying out his threat, when discovered by his parents. A benevolent-looking old mad obtained the signatures of Illinois farmers to petitions asking the Legislature to tax church property the same as other property, and transferred them to promissory notes. Mrs. Charles Francis of Kingston, Tuscola county, gave birth to twins on December 6th. In February last she also gave birth to twins, which, however, died shortly after birth. The young ladies of Waco county, Texas, had a dumb supper the other night. Not a word was spoken during the entire meal. Jonah Martin, a mere youth, of Randolph county, W.'

The irrigation system of Italy is probably the most complete in the world, and still it is constantly being increased; it forms a part of the elaborate system of defense against floods necessitated by the conformation of the Northern Provinces. According to the latest official statistics, the irrigation canals of Piedmont alone give 125,550 gallons per second, distributed over 1,340,000 acres; and those of Lombardy 95,355 gallons per second, distributed over 1,680,400 acres. These great works have not been comparatively speaking, expensive. The Cavour canal, constructed within the last few years, draws its supply from the rivers Po and Dora Baltea. It gives a flow of 29,200 gallons per second, waters nearly 40,000 acres, and cost £1,600,000, about £32,200 per mile. It was constructed in four years, and measures are now under consideration for increasing its flow by 5,300 gallons per second. A smaller canal, subsidiary to it, gives 18,510 gallons per second, and cost £23,154 per mile. The largest canals are the Cavour, and its subsidiary canal just mentioned; the Muzza, Agliano and Naviglio Grande. The smaller of these gives 13,200 gallons per second. Below this point the canals become very numerous, and interspersed all over the country. These canals are not only used for purposes of irrigation, but also to supply motive power, by which again the water is raised to districts lying upon a higher level. On the steep slope of the Dora Baltea, not far from Turin, three canals (the Tores, Agliano and Rotto) flow parallel to each other. How Salmon Eggs are Obtained. The work of stripping begins during the latter part of October and is continued until all the fish have been operated upon. The Portland (Me.) correspondent of the Boston Journal says that the fish when wanted are taken from the water in a dip net, and their condition readily ascertained by gently pressing the abdomen just back of the posterior fin. If the ova are ripe they will be felt like so many peas beneath the skin, and a slight pressure will cause them to be deposited in a pan placed for that purpose. If the ova are not ripe, or the fish is not disposed to yield them, she is returned to the water a few days longer. After the ova have been deposited the milt is obtained from the male in the same manner, and immediately after falling upon the ova it diffuses itself among them, causing them to at once individualize and grow harder, till within two hours they will be as hard as unripe peas and perfectly globular in form. At once after this fertilizing process the ova are washed several times in cold water, and then set away in cold water for a couple of hours, that all impurities may be removed. The number of eggs obtained from each fish varies from 2,000 to 20,000, the latter number having been obtained this season from a 44-inch salmon, estimated to be a dozen or more years old, and about as old as any are ever obtained for spawning purposes, as the ages of such fish are estimated to be from four to fourteen years. At the expiration of the two hours mentioned above the ova are prepared for the hatching trout by being run our large plantations?" by the practical response: "on them at all, but subditile families on moderate farms." Measurably the same task, have to be given to grape growers; and when obvious necessity, their perhaps bring them less being than if their vinenage" by gangs of Chinamen, mainly rebound more to the community at large. Whole-other of cotton, sugar cane, certainly the least desirature, and computable only for its equivalent.

This decision has 18,510 gallons per second, and cost £23,154 per mile. The largest canals are the Cavour, and its subsidiary canal just mentioned; the Muzza, Agliano and Naviglio Grande. The smaller of these gives 13,200 gallons per second. Below this point the canals become very numerous, and interspersed all over the country. These canals are not only used for purposes of irrigation, but also to supply motive power, by which again the water is raised to districts lying upon a higher level. On the steep slope of the Dora Baltea, not far from Turin, three canals (the Tores, Agliino and Rotho) flow parallel to each other, on different levels, while the water is used at the top of the hill, 62 ft. above the highest of them. The arrangement adopted is as follows: A stream of 154 gallons per second is diverted from the Torea canal, and carried down the hill in a leaden pipe, until it meets the Agliano canal. Here it is pumped up to the summit level by eight pumps, worked by four turbines, driven by a fall of water taken from the Agliana canal, and allowed to flow down into the Rotho. By joining this latter it is used for irrigation, and thus not a drop is wasted. The great principle of Italian engineers is to work on a large scale, thus attaining at the same time efficiency and economy, and avoiding constant alterations and additions; and it is by such means that the extraordinary fertility of Northern Italy is produced and maintained. Irrigation works in India, which are generally acknowledged to be the only permanent protection against the terrible and constantly recurring famines, appear from the official tables published in the Government Gazette to be capable of returning a considerable profit. The only exception is Bengal, where the irrigation of 372,866 acres at a cost of 12,250,000 rupees has yielded during the four years under review a return only a trifle over 1-10 per cent. The Punjab heads last, the irrigation of 1,423,000 acres in that province yielding a return on the capital sank of a fraction over 7 per cent. In Madras the return is over 6 per cent., and in Bombay over 3½. These figures show that irrigation judiciously carried out is profitable. A Socialistic Proclamation. BALTIMORE, Dec. 30. — The following proclamation to the workingmen of America was adopted at the late session here of the Socialistic Convention and ordered to be issued immediately all over the country: Fellow Workmen: You see everywhere employers violate most brutally even the civil rights of the employed. You see how they compel workingmen to give up their own organizations by threatening them with all the terrors of hunger and misery, how they frequently try to sow bloody dissensions among workingmen themselves and oppose their just demands with force of arms. You see, furthermore, how in all these excesses they are supported by the ter this fertilizing process the ova are washed several times in cold water, and then set away in cold water for a couple of hours, that all impurities may be removed. The number of eggs obtained from each fish varies from 2,000 to 20,000, the latter number having been obtained this season from a 14-inch salmon, estimated to be a dozen or more years old, and about as old as any are ever obtained for spawning purposes, as the ages of such fish are estimated to be from four to fourteen years. At the expiration of the two hours mentioned above the ova are prepared for the hatching troughs by being placed upon wire screens with meshes about an eighth of an inch square. These screens are inclosed in frames a foot square, and thick enough to allow a half inch of water to flow beneath each one, to assist which an eighth of an inch is removed from the bottom of each of the four sides for three-fourths of their length. Ten of these hatchling frames are then placed above each other in a skeleton frame to form a "nest," and the whole then deposited in the hatching troughs of a depth and width just sufficient to contain a row of these nests, after which the water is turned on and a steady flow maintained through the trough till the latter part of January, when the ova will have developed as much as it is safe to allow before distribution among the several States, under whose care they are finally hatched and disposed ot as desired. Wire Fences in Georgia. A lawful wire fence in Georgia is described by legislative enactment as composed of not less than six horizontal strands of barbed wire tightly stretched from post to post. The first wire no more than four and a half nor less than three and a half inches from the ground; the second wire not more than nine and a half nor less than eight and a half inches from the ground; the third wire not more than fifteen and a half nor less than twenty-two and a half nor less than twenty-one and a half inches from the ground; the fifth wire not more than thirty-two nor less than thirty-one inches from the ground; the sixth wire not over fifty-five nor less than fifty three inches from the ground. Posts to be not over ten feet apart, and every alternate post to be securely set in the ground. Provided, a plank not less than ten inches wide shall be used instead of two strands of wire at bottom of fence. It is also required that a railing shall be placed equal distance between the two top wires, which shall answer the same purpose as a wire, and to extend from post to post in like manner.

Fellow-workmen: You see everywhere employers violate most brutally even the civil rights of the employed. You see how they compel workingmen to give up their own organizations by threatening them with all the terrors of hunger and misery, how they frequently try to sow bloody dissensions among workingmen themselves and oppose their just demands with force of arms. You see, furthermore, how in all these excesses they are supported by the Government, that today exists only in the interest of ruling the masses by police, and when necessary by military power. You know also how these classes, well trained to all the tricks of political corruption, have always been known to falsify the alleged will of the people, expressed at the polls. Under these conditions we must expect that our enemies, when they see how their power is increased in a legal way, and their approaching victory, will on their part become rebels, just as ones did the slaveholders, and that then the time will come for the cause of labor, when that old prime lever of all revolutions, a force effective as long as mankind is still in a half barbarous state, must be applied in order to place the working masses in control of the State, which then, for the first time, will be representative, not of a few privileged classes, but of all society. The Socialistic Labor party has for years recognized and proclaimed this development of affairs and it is highly satisfactory that other organizations are embracing these views. We surely do not appreciate in the fears of those men who consider dynamite bombs the best means of agitation to produce the greatest revolution that ever transpired in the social life of mankind.

We address these words to you at a momentous time. All signs tend to show that a terrible crisis is again approaching—a crisis which will rage frightfully in the ranks of workingmen. Do not hesitate; lose not a moment, ere the deepest misery destroys you oraps your vital strength, rendering you helpless for any resistance. Misery and oppression threaten you more and more every day. This is certain, but only your own power will save you.
