The following is the report of Prof. Plumer to the Chief of Vegetable Pathology, Department of Agriculture at Washington. Only a part of the document is printed this week, the rest of it going over to our next week's issue: The disease now destroying the vineyards of Southern California and working to some extent in the northern portions of the State began to attract the attention of the general public in 1885. The older vineyards limited in the Santa Ana valley, and particularly those of Anaheim, in what was then Los Angeles county, were the first to show marked signs of the disease in this region. At Anaheim the first request was made for a special investigation into the nature and origin of the trouble, and were forwarded to associations or individuals of the State. Later, as the trouble began to seriously affect the great raisin industry of the valley, correspondence was opened with those in authority at the Department of Agriculture at Washington. Permant to directions from the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, issued May 16th 1886, I proceeded to Santa Ana, Cal., to prosecute investigations into the nature of this disease under instructions from you. On May 23d I arrived at Santa Ana and at once began the work. After making the acquaintance of some of the leading grape-growers of the valley, it became my primary object to acquire familiarity with the effects of the disease on the vineyards as a whole, and more particularly the special effect on the vines attacked. To this end a large number of vineyards of the Santa Ana valley received personal attention. In reviewing this matter, I see that at least 100 vineyards of the valley were inspected, in most cases with care, and these matters concern me from other persons than myself; but the conclusions required by such views both have carefully considered. The subject of production required had special and odd conditions are not irrigated land, and only sufficient to provide relation existing between the district. The main fully consisted of artificial fertilizer. The variance diminishes a direct bearing on well-known rust during the fungus he at his horticultural not worked amabilly by Europe Agriform.

Edwin Raxham, an English resident of China, who has lately returned to this country, tells the following story of the Chinese expedition against Formosa.

They landed at the harbor of Auping, where the most horrible scenes were enacted. Dying men were strawn about the decks. The Consul sent an appeal to Chen-Tai, who responded by sending grave-diggers. These added to the horror of the situation. According to an old custom, when a soldier dies his officer draws burial expenses from the Government, part of which goes to the dead man's-comrades. This burial money was an incentive to most horrible atrocities by the grave-diggers. All the sick who were supposed to be dying were hustled into coffins, and buried before their bodies were cold. It is said that soldiers were seen forcing the lids of coffins down on feeble victims who were pitiously crying for water. The coffin lids were nailed fast and the living men hurried away to burial.

Rev.P Stormtera,pastor. In gathering data relative to the introduction of the disease at various places, it became evident that the trouble had spread in Southern California from a common center.As we passed out from that center vines similarly located, of like age and of the same variety, showed signs of the disease in later and later years.Facts of this character,bearing directly on the contagious nature of the disease, at once showed its importance of procuring as complete records as possible of the dates of the first appearance of the disease in each locality.With this object in view the vicinity of Anahaism,where the Mission vines first diedwas thoroughly canvassed,and various facts and dates brought together sufficient for the construction of a map of that region.These have now been supplemented by like data from other portions of the State,and the material on hand at this time is sufficient for the draughting of a map of approximate accuracy for all the counties included in Southern California,showing the spread of the disease,and other facts of importance. Much attention has been given to the probable origin of this trouble,but from facts already gathered.I incline to the view that this matter must be investigated in the northern portion of the State before any definite or satisfactory results may be looked forI have,however,accumulated much material which may tend to throw some light on this branch of the subject.

DIFFERENT FROM EUROPEAN DISEASES. It has been advanced by some who have studied this disease here that it is identical with that of Italy and adjoining regions known as Mal nero. Viewed from an anatomical and physiological standpoint, there are many features of this disease reminding one of the Italian diseases, and this is also true with the external appearance of the canea. On the other hand I have examined the foliage of five varieties of Italian vines from the diseased district and find no similarity between the two diseases so far as this material is concerned. Even where the identity of our disease with the Italian Mal nero thoroughly established, the benefits to be derived from such a recognition would be next to nothing, for up to this time the European authorities have been wholly unable to agree among themselves as to the nature of the disease, and no satisfactory remedy or preventive has yet been found. Owing to the similarity of these disease, I have thought it best to work up the literature of the Mal nero, which is quite extensive. Translation of the reviews of the various Italian papers published for many years bank have been made, numbering some 20 or 25 papers, and many of the original articles and specimens of the Italian diseases have been procured, and more to follow. Certain other effects noticed in European vineyards spoken of as Fellshage or Appoplexie, have been identified with our disease by certain persons in the State. This view might have justly been held when the disease first made its appearance, but since time facts have been devised which leave no good ground for supposing the trouble to be due to the direct action of the man, as in the case of mandrake. Owing to the remarkable connexion between the temperature of the air and the virulence of the disease, however (as is also true in the case of Odinium on vines, or of yellow fever or cholera with man), and the difficulty of determining the true nature of this relation, I have given more than ordinary attention to this feature of the subject. This has brought forth many affects of objection by others and myself, and resulted in what seems to be abundant evidence of the ineffective nature of heat when considered as a loss factor in the constitution of the disease. In this connection, the effects of certain warm spells in winter, to the action of which the trouble has been married, have received attention. For instance, vineyards set since these warm The Santa Paola rank and tile who because it is theTickets will be at offices on the Southern July 31st to August return up to and Parties leaving on day August 5th w St. Louis Chicago 10th, and thus give them participate in the encampment August 11th.

In la same paper ma tha only fruit-hold its own in Hudson river New York malt young fruit is d indications are of NUMBER 38 quite insured, and from entails brought from other portions of the State have taken the dimness, but the various reasons for any concomitant supporting the non-normal action of heat cannot well be presented short of the open abatheable in a special report. Most of the non-panicatic agitation for the production of the dumma, so their action has been presented by numerous adherents to such views both here and elsewhere, have been carefully considered. The subject of pressing has received all the attention required. That of irrigation has had special and exhaustive attention. All conditions are noted, on irrigated and non-irrigated land, and the evidence is abundantly sufficient to prove that there is no normal relation existing between the irrigation and the dimmna. The subject of soil poverty has been fully considered, as well as the matter of artificial fertilization and alkaline soils. The various drainage problems which have a direct hearing on the effects of some of the well-known root fungi have been carefully reviewed during the field work, and if a root fungus be at the bottom of the trouble, it is certainly not working according to the habits arrived by Europeans to Denataphora and Agaricina. This foot, however, is not evidence against the presence of root fungi. The bearing of elevation has also been considered, but up to the present time I have had no favorable opportunity to make observations along this line at elevations greater than two thousand feet. The matter of atmospheric humidity has been partially covered. Much statistical information relative to the condition of climate during the past and present decades, the effect of prevailing winds or those of annual severity, has been accumulated, and when combined with the result of personal observation will, I believe, show the slight bearing these matters have on the subject in hand. The beneficial or detrimental action of other forms has been sufficiently studied. Under this head the effect of shade upon diseased vines has been marked, and as its bearing on the nature of the disease is important, it has had continuous investigation, but for the sake of bringing together a greater amount of material, my attention to this subject will be continued. Yes I may say that up to data there is no good evidence that mediators will exist longer in the face of principal sources of supply. Then early crops of fruits, such as strawberries, apples and oranges, thus far have been short, and men to have been feasted very lightly." Western fruit-growing especially thrives in this station of California where the crops are so encouraging, will again profit by the Eastern failure, as many did last year, marketing their apples there. "A Light in the Window." Few are probably the persons who have not one time or another heard the Sunday-school song, "A Light in the Window." Unless I am mistaken it is founded upon a story told upon the little Island of Sylt, but which might easily have its exact counterpart on almost any amphore where a mother's heart beats with yearning love for her maller son and keeps its food promise from night to night. Among the simple fisher folks on the island lived a woman and her son. He was her only child, the prince of her heart as well as the mares of common dread, for the boy loved the sea as his father before he loved it, and nothing gave him so much pleasure as to watch the incoming tide tumble its carling waves over the muds. No sooner was he strong enough to wield an ear and steer a boat than he joined the man in their fishing expeditions. The mother, with all her fears and the fate of a long line of sailors in her mind, yet would not have had it otherwise; for it would have been deserved dishonor among the hardy coasters to have kept the bay at home or meet him safety to work for some farmer. Whatever the dangers they must be faced for the sake of family pride. Had not the boy's grandfather been a captain when he went away the last time? Had not his father sailed his own ship when he went down in a great storm? The child was the last of his race, but he must not hishonor it by fame and cowardly safety on shore. So the boy grew up, tall of his age, straight as a mast, nimble as the fleetest and handiest boat, blue-eyed, fair-haired, true-hearted, a real son of the sea. The fisherman taught him the tricks of the craft until he knew how to sail a boat online or do any little Fertilization in Orange Culture. It has been associated by careful analysis that every ten of oranges removed from the soil mineral ingredients as follows: Patah, 39lb; lima, 23lb; soda, — lb; magnesium, 64lb; phosphoric acid, 14lb; sulphate of iron, 13lb; and other minerals to the amount of 100lb. A grove in full bearing will produce ten tons per acre, consequently the soil will be exhausted of its annual plant food 1,000 pounds per annum. It is easy to see that this exhastion cannot continue long without restoration. California soils are among the richest in the world. One crop of grain per year will never exhaust them. Experience has demonstrated the fact, which is easily explained. It requires only one-third of a year to grow a crop of grain, and if the soil is left the balance of the year to rest nature's laboratory will work out all the chemical changes in the soil necessary for another and even better crop, and so on for a generation. But orange growing furnishes a different problem. The evergreen tree is a constant tax upon the soil, and its great productivity under favorable circumstances makes fertilization an absolute necessity. Those horticulturists who expect to get rich at fruit growing without restoring to the soil what they take from it, had better change their occupation. It will be seen from the analysis that the best fertilizers are barn-yard manure, wood ash and bone dust. The waters used in irrigation, if of the right kind, restore some of the needed ingredients of soil. Forest streams and vegetable monoliths of every description are good, and especially sheep manure. Gypaum is a splendid fertilizer for grain and perhaps will be equally as useful in fruit growing. It is now to be had at low cost. Several persons are now experimenting with it. Orange county ought not to allow a single earload of manure to go out of it. The Board of Supervisors ought to have the power, and ought to exercise it, to put on a prohibitive expert duty on the entire business of shipping out fertilizers to Riverside. The ordinance of this county ought to know that they are being robbed of their birth-right. All the old sheep corrals of this county are now needed at home. HIRAM HAMILTON. Orange, July 22, 1800. G.

Parties can thus make as good time by taking tourist sleeping cars as they could by taking palace sleeper.

This is the only line running through from the Pacific coast to St. Louis or Chicago, without change. For maps, time tables, etc., apply to any ticket agent of Southern California Railroad or C. A.

The New Treasury Notes The President and Secretary Window have approved the designs of the new Treasury notes provided for by the new Silver bill. These notes will be of eight different denominations as follows: One-dollar, two-dollars, five-dollar, ten-dollar, twenty-dollar, fifty-dollar, one-hundred-dollar and one-thousand-dollar. While each note has a distinctive design outside of its value designation, they will all resemble in form and general characteristics the present legal tender notes. They will all be printed in black on the face and in green on the back. A new feature of these notes, intended to prevent raising or alternation, is the printing of their value in big black letters across the back. This will be done in the case of the ones, twos, fives, tens, twenties and fifties. Block figures will be used in the case of the one hundred and one-thousand dollar notes, as the width of the note will not admit of the use of letters of the desired size. The notes will differ from all previous issues in bearing the words "United States of America" instead of simply "United States." They will say on their face that they are redeemable in coin, and on their backs that they are legal tender for all debts, public and private. Portraits will be displayed on the different notes, so far as selected, as follows: Ex-Secretary Stanton on the ones, Gen. Thomas on the fives, Gen. Sheridan on the tens, Admiral Parraigut on the one-hundreddrede and General Meade on the one-thousands. The vignettes for the two, twenty and fifty dollar notes will probably contain portraits of Gen. McPherson, Ex-President Wm. Henry Harrison and ex-Secretary Morrill magnetically. The vignettes of Thomas and Sheridan will be placed exactly in the center of the face of the notes, all the others being placed on the sides. Merrit Wins We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Buckles' Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remdesis that sell so well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remdesis have won their greatest popularity solely on their merits. Wm. M. Higgins, draught.
