ALEXANDER ANDOVER threw himself into the big leather covered chair before his office fire with a weary sigh. He was a fine-looking man of 50; not handsome, but noble and manly looking—one to be trusted forever, with his broad, white brow and grave, clear gray eyes. His lips, too, under the full brown heard were as fine as women without lacking in strength and firmness. Dr. Andover's patients—especially the poorer classes—and the children—turned to a good wife. She will probably be here to-day. To-day! Dr. Andover listened to kind Mrs. Derby in bewilderment. What did it all mean? With trembling fingers he tore off the wrapper of the tiny package and opened a jeweler's case. There upon its bed of purple lay a wide gold finger-ring, extraordinarily wide, the inside of which was completely covered with fine lettering. And Dr. Andover read slowly through blind; raptorous eyes, the words which the jeweler's instrument had traced there—the grand old Scriptural words which had arisen in the heart of the girl, who thus proved herself worthy of him, when his letter had come to her after many weary days of delay. "Entreat me not to leave thee, nor to return from following after these; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, ad thy God my God; where thou diet I will die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me and more also, if aught but death part me and thee." Mrs. Derby slipped out of the room, crying herself, at the sight of Dr. Andover, usually so calm and strong and self possessed, crying like a two-year-old baby over Maud's Christmas token. It was nearly noon when Maud herself came. She had removed her wraps in Mrs. Derby's room, and after a light tap on the sick man's door she entered. Alexander Andover had thought her lovely in her exquisite party and carriage and home toilet; but never had she seemed so sweet and gracious and womanly as now, when in her plain, gray traveling costume, her lovely face a little pale with weariness and excitement, her mouth tremulons, and her dark eyes glowing with a solemn light, she glided in her swift, nonseless way across the room to his side. "My darling: My own, sweet, true-hearted darling!" cried the doctor, clasping both arms around her and drawing her face down to his own. And presently after the first greeting was over, Maud explained: "Your letter was delayed in some way." THE MODERN RUTH. DR. ALEXANDER ANDOVER threw himself into the big leather-covered case before his office fire with a weary arm. He was a fine-looking man of 30; not handsome, but noble and manly looking—one to be trusted forever, with his broad, white brow and grave, clear gray eyes. His lips, too, under the full brown beard were as fine as women without lacking in strength and tenacity. Dr. Andover's patients—especially the poorer classes, and the children—turned to him instinctively for advice and sympathy. He was one of those grand, kindly natures which seem made for leaders and comforters. Poor old Betty Cary, a bad-ridden paralytic, could not speak of him without shedding tears of gratitude. Little Jane Ellis, suffering with an incurable hip disease, looked upon him as a sort of god upon earth. There were a score more who thought of him not only as their physician, but as a kind and generous friend, who delighted to brighten the lives which would otherwise be poor and barren enough. But fate had lately frowned upon him. In the first place, the bank in which the greatest part of his sing little fortune was deposited and directly upon this came the news that some mining stock in which he had invested was worthless, or nearly so. The doctor did not fear poverty himself—his practice brought him a comfortable income, for the rich appreciated him as well as the poor but miles away in a distant city there was a lovely girl whom he had hoped to call wife by Christmas time. A girl who, though not wealthy herself, had been extravagantly educated by her uncle, in whose luxurious home she lived. He knew that not the slightest privation had ever come to her; she was a petted darling, with hands like a baby. He had never questioned if she knew anything about work—the idea in connection with Mand Everleth was aburd. He had been able to take her to a home as the one she would leave, but that was gone now. Lovely, dainty, useless as she seemed. Dr. Andover had poured the whole passion of his great heart out upon her, and you are not to thank him weak because past at direst, when the news of his ill-fortune came to him, no shrank and trembled under it, thinking of the girl he loved. For he must give her up; there was no doubt in his mind about that. He could not ask her to share the fate of a poor physician who depended upon his fees for living. He even smiled grimly in the midst of his suffering at the thought of Mand in a calico dress, mixing up bread or washing dishes with his white, slender fingers, which he had only seen toying with her fan, working at embroidery, or dashing over the keys of a piano. So Dr. Andover had written her a brave farewell letter just a month before the time set for their wedding, informing her of his altered fortunes, and releasing her from her engagement to him, and he had received no answer, although it was now Christmas week. The doctor was worn out with exposure to weather and many sleepless nights. This demand upon his time and strength had been greater than usual, yet he had relied to them all, never falling in kindly courtesy beside the couch of Betty Cary any more than in the luxurious chamber of Madam Goldstein, who feel him so generously. It was Christmas week, and Mand was to have been his own Friday night. This thought tortured him unceasingly, together with some words in a letter which had reached him a few days before a letter from an acquaintance who was visiting in the city where Mand lived. "I met your finance at a party last evening," she had written. "I admire your choice. She was the brightest, loveliest there, and the most graceful dancer." Dr. Andover experienced a cruel sense of desolation as he turned that sentence over and over in his mind. Mand had not loved him after all. She could be gay and bright when they were forever separated! The office fire smoldered to ash, and still he sat there, still and asl, until from sheer exhaustion he fell into an uneasy slumber. About midnight he swoke alternately burning and shivering while a dull pain throbbled in his temples. It was nearly noon when Maud herself came. She had removed her wraps in Mrs. Derby's room, and after a light tap on the sick man's door she entered. Alexander Andover had thought her lovely in her exquisite party and carriage and home toilet; but never had she seemed so sweet and gracious and womanly as now, when in her plain, gray traveling costume, her lovely face a little pale with weariness and excitement, her mouth tremulant, and her dark eyes glowing with a solemn light, she glided in her swift, nouseless way across the room to his side. "My darling! My own, sweet, true-hearted darling!" creed the doctor, clasping both arms around her and drawing her face down to his own. And presently after the first greeting was over, Maud explained: "Your letter was delayed in some way, I did not get it until a week ago. You remember the great piece of gold you sent me from California two years ago? Well, when I got your letter I took gold to a jeweler and had it made into a ring. And thenafter I received Mr. Derby's telegram I made uncle's promise to bring me to you at once. I would have come alone if he had not come with me, horrible and unconventional as my fashionable friend have called me. Why, Alexander, what a silly butterfly you might have thought me! Do you think I would care for riches without you! And do you think I am good for nothing but to dance the german and to play the piano? I assure you, sir, and here she doubled small, white hand in a threatening manner under his very nose—"this hand which you consider so weak and useless can make the most delicious bread and pies and cakes; can even make bels and sweep, and wash dishes. Aunt Alice never neglected the most important part of my education, and I am sure I shall make a most excellent wife for a poor man. That is, Alexander,"—and here she flashed up gloriously—"if you will have me." Dr. Andover smothered the words against his shoulder, and as soon as she could free herself from his uncereomemious embrace she began to coax and wheeze him into a new plan of her own, to which he at first objected, but finally yielded. The result was that at 5 o'clock that afternoon Mand Everleth was made Dr. Alexander Andover's wife, and at once asserted her authority by taking herself the duties of a nurse. Of course under such treatment he recovered rapidly, and every day grew to appreciate more and more the loyalty and worth of the sweet little woman who has not failed him in his dark hour. Shipping Oranges in Europe. Orte de Paula Espinoza Last year the experiment was tried of shipping oranges from here to Liverpool London and other parts of Europe. In all cases it proved successful. Dr. Hipry Foster of Lake Jesup received $233 net per box for all the fruit he shipped to England, and others have done quite as well. Bearing this in mind, also recognizing the important fact that a well-established market for Florida fruit in Europe means the removal of danger from a glut in the orange market, some gentlemen of this county have made arrangements for securing large shipments of oranges to the Old World this season. They have secured low rates from New York to London, Liverpool Glasgow, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremen Hamburg Havre and Amsterdam, in some cases securing as good rates as could be held to many parts of this country. Mills & Daniel is the name of this new firm, consisting of the well-known real estate agent, N. L. Mills, and W.A. Daniel & prominent English gentleman of Altamonte. Mr. Daniel is well acquainted with several reliable firms in the above mentioned cities and will be in position to touch for honest returns. He will leave for England in a few days. Mr Mills will also leave for Europe about November 10th, taking with him a trial shipment of several thousand boxes, and will engage a very large amount before he returns. There are several advantages connected with this important move. An unlimited market for our fruit means good times for Florida orange-growers and for everybody here. It also means a large increase in grove planting, giving employment to a large number people, and opening up the forest land. The orange business acquire new life and importance, every area of land suitable for growing the golden fruit will be enhanced in value. Then again what an advertisement it will be for Florida to lay before the appreciative gaze of the wealthy Europeans. After seeing and sampling our best sweet oranges many of It was Christmas week, and Maud was to have been his own next Friday night. This thought tortured him unceasingly, together with some words in a letter which had reached him a few days before; a letter from an acquaintance who was visiting in the city where Maud lived. "I meet your finance at a party last evening," I admire your choice, She was the brightest, loveliest there, and the most graceful dancer. Dr. Andover experienced a cruel sense of desolation as he turned that sentence over and over in his mind. Maud had not loved him, after all. She could be gay and bright when they were forever separated! The office fire smoldered to ashes, and still he sat there, still and sad, until from sheer exhaustion he fell into an uneasy slumber. At midnight he awoke, alternately burning and shivering, while a dull pain throbbbed in his temples. The doctor's apartments were commodious and comfortable. A large chamber opened from his private office, which latter opened from a large receiving room. He was his own patient now, so he hastened to bed; and when his landlord came in the morning to call him she found him unable to rise from his pillow, feverish and half delirious. Christmas morning came bright and frosty—a day after 8th. Nicholas' own heart—and the doctor, a trifle better, although weak and languid, opened his eyes to close them again immediately with a little pang. This was to have been his wedding day! He could hear the merry salutations on the street, the crash of aleigh-bells, and the pealing organ from St. Paul's Church over the way; and the sunlight and mirth and gladness made his own pain seem the keiner—just for a moment, until his generous heart could gather strength to reassert itself, and be glad because others were glad. The landlady, who had been like a mother to him, came in presently, with a very smiling expression upon her broad face. Many of his grateful patients had remembered him with some little Christmas tokens, and Mrs. Derby had placed them upon the stand at his bedside; but now she held in her hands a small package addressed to him in a familiar lady's hand and registered in a distant city. Maud had returned the engagement-ring. Dr. Andover received the package in silence, and Mrs. Derby looked at him with a crest-fallen expression. "I thought you would be pleased, doctor, I've come to know Miss Everleith's hand-writing, you see, and I supposed she had sent you a Christmas present. The package came two days ago, when you were delirious, and I signed the registry card, and made bold to send the lady a telegram notifying her of your illness. And, Dr. Andover, can you bear some pleasant news? I received a telegram in return stating that Miss Everleith would start at once to come to see you. Now, that is the sort of girl to make a man with several reliable firms in the above mentioned cities, and will be in a position to touch for honest returns. He will leave for England in a few days. Mr. Mills will also leave for Europe about November 10th, taking with him a trial shipment of several thousand boxes, and will engage a very large amount before he returns. There are several advantages connected with this important move. An unlimited market for our fruit means good times for Florida or orange-growers and for everybody here. It also means a large increase of grove planting, giving employment to a large number of people, and opening up the forest lands. The orange business will acquire new life and importance, and every acre of land suitable for growing the golden fruit will be enhanced in value. Then again, what an advertisement it will be for Florida to lay before the appreciative gaze of the wealthy Europeans. After seeing and sampling our best and sweetest oranges, many of them will cross the ocean and invest some of their riches in land that will produce such fruit. A few thousand boxes of fine, bright representative Florida oranges will be of untold value in attracting European capital and immigration to our sunny shores. We could afford to send the fruit over there and give it away as an advertisement. But the indications are that the net returns for fruit sent there will average $2 per box, at which price orange growing is one of the best paying things a man of moderate means can engage in. As it now is a man does well to get an return of $15 per box for fruit sent to any of the markets of this country. Mr. Mills will also investigate the feasibility of shipping early vegetables and some of our semi-tropical fruits over the ocean. With the constant improvements being made in ocean transportation, there is no reason why this should not be soon done as easily as sending oranges, pineapples or other perishable fruits, which have already been sent ever with complete success. In shipping his crop to these markets the grower will not have to be bothered with the delay so often practiced in making returns. As soon as the fruit arrives and is sold, the returns will be cabled to a bank here, and the grower can have his money the same day it is sold. There will be some satisfaction in being an extensive orange-grower when that day arrives. We hope to see the complete fulfillment of the plans of Messrs. Milla & Daniel, and trust that the people will recognize the importance of this step sufficiently to encourage them in every way within their power. If successfully carried out, this plan will work almost a revolution in the Florida orange business.

Call and examine before purchasing elsewhere. Sunrise or sunset, the amazed traveler happens to see a magnificent reflection of his own figure thrown upon the chest of mist veiling some appease peak. The most extraordinary of all such appearances seem to be that observed at Adams Peak, in Ceylon, as described for us through a recent expedition undertaken by the Hon. Ralph Abercromby and two other men of science: "This mountain rises in an abrupt cone, 1,000 feet above the chain and 7,552 feet above sea level. It lies near an elbow in the main range, while a gorge runs up from the northeast just to the west of it. When then, the northeast monsoon blows morning mist up the Valley, light wreaths of condensed vapor pane to the west of the peak, and catch the shadows at sunrise. The party reached the summit on the night of February 21, 1886, amid rain, mist and wind. Early next morning the foreglow began to enlighten the under surface of the stratus cloud with orange; patches of white mist filled the hollows, and sometimes masses of mist, coming from the valley, enveloped them with condensed vapor. At 6:30 o'clock in the morning the sun peeped through a chink in the clouds, and they saw the pointed shadow of the peak lying on the misty land. Soon a complete primatic circle of about eight degrees diameter, with the red outside, formed round the summit of the peak as a center. The meteorologist knowing that with this bow there ought to be special figures, waved his hand about, and immediately found giant showing arms moving in the center of the rainbow. Two dark rays shot upward and outward on either side of the center, and appeared to be nearly in the prolongation of the lines of the slope of the peak below. Three times within a quarter of an hour this appearance was repeated at the mist drove up in proper quantities, and sufficient glimpses of the sun gave sufficient light to throw a shadow and form a circular rainbow. In every case the shadow and bow were seen in front of land, and never against the sky. When the sun rose pretty high, the characteristic peculiarity of the shadow was beautiful observed. As a thin wreath of condensed vapor came up the valley at a proper height, a remplendent bow formed round the shadow, while both seemed to stand up majestically in front of the observers, and then they saw a brighter and sharper shadow of the peak, this time encircled by a double bow; their own spectral arms were again visible. The shadow, the double bow and giant forms combined to make this phenomenon most marked in the whole world." When oranges are ripe. There is perhaps no other fruit: that is so deceptive in appearance as the orange. The majority of people, when they see the dark- NUMBER 11 ICKENS: MARRIED LIFE.

The idea is a pardonable one, and with any other fruit it would not be a mistake. But a yellow-orange is by no means a ripen one, as has been frequently shown. This was a fact that was long in being learned, but it has now been fully demonstrated. At the present time the eranges all over the State are changing color, and in some places it is claimed that they are ripe and fit for consumption. But the fact is that, after an orange becomes yellow, it must remain upon the tree from two to three months before it is fully ripe. Indeed, the longer it remains the better it will be, though if it hang too long it will become too ripe to market without loss. But as every orange connoisseur knows, that fruit is never so delicious as when it has remained on the tree for five or six months after changing color. It is then at its prime and possesses qualities utterly lacking in the fruit that is gathered too quickly. PROPITS OF AUTHORS. What It Costs to Put a Book on the Market. New York Press. How many copies of a cloth-covered novel must a publisher sell to make a good profit? This is a great question that the reading public often asks mentally, at least, and one that is seldom answered. Most people have a vague idea that if a man has written a successful novel his fortune is made. They read his name everywhere—in the newspapers, magazines, and in glaring letters upon the bill boards of the elevated stations. The fond delusion that successful authors roll in wealth is fostered by such items as "Mrs. Burnett has been offered $15,000 to write a story for the" Lippincott," or that "Mark Twain cleared $100,000 from the sale of General Grant's Memoirs." A few authors, and you count them upon the fingers green has give place to the yellow tint, will as once conclude that the fruit is ripe and fit for consumption.

In the United States irrigation is employed extensively in Colorado, Utah and California. Colorado has by far the greatest irrigable area, and there the laws respecting the use of water for agriculture are the most perfect. Nature seems to have ordained that this State shall lead in irrigation. Within its borders are congregated the highest ranges, and peaks of the Rocky Mountains; it is the veritable dome of the continent. On the countless square miles of its lofty summits fall the heaviest mantles of snow, the sources of an unfailing water supply. All the great rivers west of the Missouri, except the Columbia, commence their course in this State. The Platte, the Arkansas, the Rio Grande and the Colorado rise nearly together in central Colorado, and in summer are large, swollen rivers before they leave its confines. No western State or Territory, therefore, is nearly so abundantly supplied with water and streams as Colorado. This advantage, together with its favorableness of location with respect to immigration, and its vast extent of most fertile farming land, assures to it the foremost rank in agriculture among the mountain States. The canal system in Colorado at this time embraces 5,000 linear miles of large and small ditches. It represents investments of private capital amounting to $12,000,000 and furnishes water for 2,500,000 acres. So attractive are canal enterprises to these familiar with them that many miles of canals are now being constructed, notwithstanding the fact that there are at this time fully 1,000,000 acres of unoccupied and unimproved land situate in the irrigating terrain.

This is a great question to the reading public often asks mentally, at least, and one that is seldom answered. Most people have a vague idea that if a man has written a successful novel his fortune is made. They read his name everywhere—in the newspapers, magazines, and in glaring letters upon the bill boards of the elevated stations. The fond delusion that successful authors roll in wealth is fostered by such items as "Mrs. Burnett has been offered $15,000 to write a story for the Lippincott," or that "Mark Twain cleared $100,000 from the sale of General Grant's Memoirs." A few authors, and you count them upon the fingers of one hand, do make big money out of literature, but let us see what the ordinarily successful one makes. In the first place the answer to the question above is that a sale of 5,000 copies is considered a very successful one and that a sale of 2,000 copies pays. We are speaking now, say, of a cloth-covered novel which retails at $1. The entire proceeds, then, of such a book will fall considerably under $Punch, or it must be remembered that a $1 book is not always sold for 100 cents. A 12m. novel contains about 250 pages, or 75,000 words. On a rough estimate such a book will cost the publisher about 30 cents a copy. This includes composing, printing and binding. The entire expenses, including a royalty of 10 per cent to the author, the usual rate, and the advertising, will amount to 50 cents. For this book, which costs the publisher 50 cents, he gets from 50 to 65 cents, leaving a profit to him of from 10 to 15 cents. This profit is generally increased somewhat by the retail sales at the publishing house. Publishers are bound—and this is for the protection of the bookstores—to sell a $1 book for $1. Enough books are sold by them at this price to bring up the average profit—a way to 15 cents. Thus a publisher who sells 5,000 copies of a novel will make about $750 out of the transaction—not a very large profit for the capital invested and the risk involved. The profit of the author at 10 per cent will amount to $800, that is to say, he will obtain for his labor of writing and revising and his time for which he is not certain of any return, not to mention the mental wear and tear, about 7 mills a word. Magnificent pay, and yet he is a successful author. Of course there are some books, but they are very few, which make phenomenal successes, and these are the ones which are read about from one end of the country to another. Most publishers say that it hardly pays in this present era of cheap paper covered novels to publish the more expensive cloth-covered editions. There is and always will be a demand for this style of novel from libraries, both private and public, but generally speaking the rich and poor alike are buying the cheaper paper covered books. It may be of interest at some future time to gather some statistics of the sale of these canyons increasing habitats of the literary ocean. The Scale in Florida. Ever since the ravages of the scale began to make such intradays upon the orange or chardles of California, there has been a suspicion on the part of many persons who have investigated the matter, that one great reason for the depredations of insects might be found in the impoverished condition of the soil from long continued cropping without fertilization, and the consequent inability of trees to resist the attacks of disease. This same idea seems to have been suggested to a Florida orange grower whose trees were attacked by the scale and setting upon the suggestion, he was enabled to reason his grave from the imminent danger of destruction which threatened it. He has embodied his experience in a letter to the New Orleans People, and for the benefit of those who may be engaged in the apparently hopeless conditions with the insects, the principal portion of the letter is given: "I will detay my personal experience with the scale. My age is 1,100 eight and nine year old trees discovered in the spring of 1887 was alarmingly infested with scale, mostly the long kind. In common with all orange trees in this section of Florida, mine had been damaged by the memorable cold of January, 1886. During that year the trees generally looked bad and did not make much growth as usual. It was remarked by orange growers that the cold had not been an omnipotent evil for it had killed all the or territory therefore is nearly so abundantly supplied with water and streams as Colorado. This advantage together with its favorableness of location with respect to immigration, and its vast extent of most fertile farming land, assures to it the foremost rank in agriculture among the mountain States. The canal system in Colorado at this time embraces 5,000 linear miles of large and small ditchs. It represents investments of private capital amounting to $12,000,000 and furnishes water for 2,500,000 acres. So attractive are canal enterprises to these familiar with them that many miles of canals are used being constructed; notwithstanding the fast that there are at this time fully 1,000,000 acres of unoccupied and unimproved land situated in the irrigated territories. The young State needs people rather than reservoirs and more canals. The water by every natural stream is declared by the Constitution of Colorado the property of the public, and is dedicated to the people's use. There are no riparian rights. The canals are taken out of the rivers and creeks; and at present furnish water only for valley lands. The fertile plain ranges and smooth measles or table-lands he above the level of the streams, and must eventually be supplied with water by great and costly systems of reservoirs. When all the water of a stream is claimed and appropriated by ditches, it becomes a source of contentment among its users, and the law is active in determining and enforcing the rights of the respective canal companies. The law is based on the principle that water is acquired by priority of utilization; that is to say, the courts hold that water should not be taken away from those who first have utilized it in good faith. If, for instance, a canal has used full capacity of the stream, it is ever entitled to all the waters of that stream. The volume of a river from which several canals are conducted having been estimated in cubic feet per second of time by the State Engineer; each ditch company appears before the District, which has jurisdiction subject to appeal to the Supreme Court; and shows when it was constructed, what its capacity is and how much water it has used or can use for actual tillage. The Court theraupon deceives to each company the number cubic feet of water per second it entitles to draw each season from the stream; and its rank of priority; i.e., its order of precedence with respect to other canals supplied from the same stream. These decrees are, of course, enforced. The State Engineer has general supervision of matters pertaining to irrigation; and he is required by law to see that water is distributed in accordance with the court's injunctions. The State is divided into water districts, and for each district the Governor appoints a Water Commissioner, whose term office is two years. It is his duty to divide the water in the streams of his district among the several canals according to their rights as determined by the court; and need be he may summon the Sheriff to assist him in the discharge of his duties. The Water Commissioners are under the direction of the superintendent of irrigation, who have charge of the water divisions each division embracing several water districts. The special duty of the superintendents is to see that the laws are properly executed and that the judicial decree are enforced by the Commissioners. The superintendents are under the general supervision on the State Engineer; and anybody has a right to appeal to him from a superintendent. The Commissioners must report fully to the superintendents as often asthe latter desire respecting the supply of and demand for water in their respective districts and all other matters deemed worthy of attention. So much for the relation of the State to the canals. What are the farmer's relations then? Water is disposed of to consumers in two ways—by rental and by absolute sale of right to it. A company rarely attempts to dispose of water under both plans; for that has not been found practicable. A corporation seeking a permanent investment may construct a canal for the purpose of renting water at an annual rental per inch.* Water rents in Colorado are from $150 to $250 an acre (or an inch)* per annum.

Florida orange grower, whose trees were attacked by the scale, and acting upon the suggestion, he was enabled to reach his grove from the imminent danger of destruction which threatened it. He has embellished his experience in a letter to the New Orleans Pressure, and for the benefit of those who may be engaged in the apparently hopeless combat with the insects, the principal portion of the letter is given: "I will detail my personal experience with the scale. My grove of 1,100 sight and nine-year old trees I discovered in the spring of 1887 was alarmingly infested with scale, mostly the long kind. In common with all orange trees in this section of Florida, mine had been damaged by the memorable cold of January, 1886. During that year the trees generally looked bad and did not make as much growth as usual. It was remarked by orange growers that the cold had not been an unmitigated evil, for it had killed all the scales. None appeared on the trees in 1886, but in 1887 they appeared in great numbers on all the trees that had been damaged by the cold. Being a novice in orange culture I applied to my neighbors and to books treating on the subject for advice. "I first trimmed the trees, cutting off all dead wood and much of the branches covered by scale and all superfluous inner branches, following out the trees, as it is termed here. Then with a Whitman's force pump I sprayed them all over with the simulation recommended by Professor Riley, viz: Whale oil soap, one-half pound; water, one-gallon; bring to a boil, remove from the fire and add two gallons of kerosene, stirring vigorously until cooled; add this to twenty-seven gallons of water and mix well with pump. A better way, however, as to applying this, is to use a Nixon nezill. The emulsion ferald through it is finally atomized. Four or five pounds of a commercial fertilizer was thinly scattered broadcast around each tree, good cultivation afterward and a heavy crop of conch peas. The trees soon assumed a dark green color and grew vigorously. In a few months the scale was gone. Good cultivation and application of fertilizers if needed will, however, dispel the scale and restore the trees to health without the application of insecticides." But it will take a longer time. So little success has attended the methods hitherto adopted in California in fighting the scale that it is to be hoped some one will adopt the Floridian's plan, and thus perhaps settle a long vexed problem.

What are the farmer's relations then? Water is disposed of to consumers in two ways—by rental and by absolute sale of the right to it. A company rarely attempts to dispose of water under both plans, for that has not been found practicable. A corporation seeking a permanent investment may construct a canal for the purpose of renting water to farmers at an annual rental "per inch." Water rents in Colorado are from $150 to $250 an acre (or an "inch") per annum. If a farmer regards the rental exorbitant he may have the matter brought up before the County Commissioners, who after hearing evidence on part of the consumer and the company, can fix the sum. Their decision is final, so that practically people control the rate. The principle which inspires law to adopt this procedure is that the canal companies do not own the water, but are public carriers. If a farmer has once used water on his land he can always compel the company to furnish it to him upon tendering each year the rental price established by the commissioners, the theory being that water, since applied to a tract of land, is a fixed appurtenance as long as the rental is paid: It cannot be transferred by the company or the farmer to other land without the consent of both parties. But the usual and most popular plan of disposing of water is to sell a "perpetual right" to its use. When the constructing company on this plan has sold all of its water, the canal is owned and operated by the farmers as a stock company, shares of stock representing "inches" of water. The corporation leftright he then a mutual company, escaping hindrance of the law; and the consumer owns, the right of his water, and pays only the annual charge for "maintenance and operation"—generally 10 cents per acre. Perpetual rights on this point worth from $5 to $25 per acre. Wrent corporation exists, parhasser a dead or contract for his "perpetual right"—a temporary evidence of this water. A "perpetual water simply a "water right" is a right all time, of sufficient water to irrigate acres. When the farmers re-enter company on a final basis," contracts or deeds are superseded of stock.
