The Weekly Gazette. Estabished 1870. Transcription of the page content: The Weekly Gazette. Established 1870. Transcription of the article: Sometimes has mild that must ball in the world do not know how the other half live, or something to that effect. That ball of the midst of Orange county does not have anything of the wonderful amenities and natural advantages promised by the other half is certainly true. The fact is that nature with a view of purchasing land which will build up a community with a good opinion, and having a good choice, and being paid for the health in which he has and his dignity, pays little attention to the program of other habitats, simultaneously new cultivation spring up and make wonderful attractions in programs without the knowledge of the element and good citizens. It is more than he may have heard all about them, but if asked for particulars he can give you no material facts. As remarkable as it may seem these facts are true concerning Flamantia, one of the most beautiful, prosperous and fertile localities in Orange county. This magnificent scene of country comprises an area of about 7,000 acres of rich land as there is in the State. It lies along the landhills facing the north and border on the low bottom lands of the Santa Ana river on the north. The western boundary in the Fallerton country—in fact it is a continuation of that rich body of land. The eastern boundary is the Yorba ranch line. The soil is rich black loam, in some portions mixed with clay, and bears the reputation of being choice fruits and walnut land, and judging from the many beautiful orchards loaded with luscious fruits and choice nuts its reputation is amply sustained. Its water supply for irrigation and domestic purposes is unaffected, being obtained from the Santa Ana river, and carried to points of distribution through what is known as the North Anaheim ditch, which skirts the foothills, thus traversing the highest land in the settlement, rendering the irrigation of the highest points practicable. This section is now included in the new district mostly organized under the Wright Act, and is bound for $200,000 which will be used for this hard materialized and preparation work on this embankment.

Experiment stations ought to show the world before long what are the best modes for wintering apples, mays an exchange. Pine tar is harmless and costs but little. Apply it to the troughs from which sheep drink. A small quantity of it on the noses of sheep will defend them against the god fly. Parchment paper is the right thing for wrapping bottles in. It will not stick, is air-proof, water-proof, tasteless and odorless, besides being cheaper and cleaner than cloth. Leave a patch of turnips in the ground for a supply of spring greens. If covered with straw and cornstalks the turnips will keep in the ground all winter and begin growth early. Experiment stations ought to show the world before long what are the best modes for wintering apples, says an exchange. Pine tar is harmless and costs but little. Apply it to the trongha from which sheep drink. A small quantity of it on the noose of sheep will defend them against the gad fly. Parchment paper is the right thing for wrapping bottles in. It will not stick, is air-proof, water-proof, tasteless and odorless, besides being cheaper and cleaner than cloth. Leave a patch of turnips in the ground for a supply of spring greens. If covered with straw and cornstalks the turnips will keep in the ground all winter and begin growth early in the spring. Currant bushes should be hoed, which not only cleans out the weeds and grass, but renders the new growth mere vigorous. A shovelful of well-rotted manure, worked into the soil, will prove beneficial. Fruits that propagate from suckers should always be planted where the growers can get all around them—never against a fence or in a garden corner. Neglect of this precondition will soon insure a thicket, says a writer. Stagnant water kills a great many fruit trees, and still they need a great deal of water, says an exchange. A well-drained soil, through which an excess of water readily passes, it is best, undoubtedly, if well cultivated. Use up all the old straw before beginning on the new. Cut it up fine with the fodder-cutter and make bedding of it, and when it is added to the manure heap it will decompose easily and also assist in absorbing liquids. To prevent insects from depositing their eggs upon plants when in flower, spray the latter with a solution of one part of vinegar to ten parts of water. This treatment has given excellent results at the School of Arboriculture at Lyons. Ripening cream does not mean rotting it. Cream that stands until the whity begins to separate is simply rotten cream, and butter made from it is spoiled before hand, and of course has neither quality nor life. A word to the wise is sufficient. The enterprising fruit-grower will visit other orchards than his own as opportunity offers, says a writer. When he finds things better than at home it inspires him to greater effort; when his own orchard appears the best it makes him feel satisfied and contented. Buttermilk is given but little value on an ordinary dairy farm, and where there are pigs they are allowed the whole of the buttermilk. It is a very nourishing drink in the summer for the farm help, and is also excellent as an addition to the feed of poultry of all kinks. Samuel B. Green, in Farm and Fireside, says this upon the subject of mulching orchards: "The best mulch is a loose top soil. Any material spread over the surface induces the small roots to come to the top, stimulates to a late fall growth, and damages the next crop." Kerosene is fatal to all kinds of insects, and for that reason it is frequently used as a preventive of damage by the cabbage worm. An objection to its use is that the kerosene impregnates the cabbage with its odor. The remedy is as obnoxious as the work of the cabbage-worm. Remove all surplus honey at the close of the honey season intended for market. Comb honey will become solid if left on the hives during the summer. The upper stories or summary is in the x-ray scan line. The malaria is a rich black blood, in some parts mixed with clay, and bears the reputation of being choice fruit and walnut land, and judging from the many beautiful orchards loaded with luscious fruits and choice nuts its reputation is amply maintained. Its water supply for irrigation and domestic purpose is unassured, being obtained from the Santa Ana river, and carried to points of distribution through what is known as the North Anaheim ditch, which skirts the feathills, thus traversing the highest land in the settlement, rendering the irrigation of the highest points practicable. This section is now included in the new district mostly organized under the Wright Act, and is bound for $300,000, which is to be used in completing and thoroughly perfecting the already excellent system. The Kraemer brothers own the greatest portion of upper Placencia, or that part formerly held by Ostevero Juan Pascifo as a reserve when the famous rancho was disposed of, consisting of 250,000 acres of land, or all that portion lying between the Santa Ana and San Gabriel rivers, and the San Bernardino line on the north and Pacific ocean on the south, except the Yorba rancho, which consisted of 3,900. They have sold off several hundred acres, and divided the remainder between themselves, four in number. Benjamin Kraemer's portion of the ranch lies near the river, and includes some very rich bottom land, all under cultivation. There are some very fine walnut trees as well as a fine orange grove. The greater portion of the place is cultivated to small grain. Samuel Kraemer owns 500 acres, 250 acres of which is under cultivation in wheat and barley, with fifty acres in trees—oranges, walnuts and deciduous fruits. He has a fine residence and outbuildings. D. J. Kraemer has a splendid ranch, consisting of 400 acres, on which he raises small grain principally. He is engaged in stockraising on a rather extensive scale. His barn and other outbuildings are complete, indicating that their owner is master of his business. Mr. Kraemer is also engaged in business at Fullerton. Edward Kraemer's ranch borders on the river bottom, and is composed of as good land as can be found in the county. He has a splendid residence and other improvements. A good orchard of a great variety of fruit, is his boast, and yet he is also engaged in small grain-growing. His surroundings indicate thrift and prosperity. Santa Ana Blade. Prof. Pierce in Italy. The following letter, copied from the Orange News, will be found of interest: DIVISION OF VEGETABLE PATHOLOGY, U.S. DEPT OF AGRICULTURE, NAples (Italy), August 11, 1890. Hiram Hamilton, Orange, Cal.: DEAR SIR: Your kind letter of July 14 just reached me at Naples. I was much pleased to hear from you. I am hard at it as usual, but instead of Southern California it is Southern France, Italy, Sicily and Algeria which served me for a field. Care is being taken to make a study, as thorough as time will permit, of all the vine affections which it seems could throw light upon the true nature of the California malady. Already the region of Naples has been thoroughly worked, and I have personally visited the vineyards of most of the vine-growing regions of Southern France and northern central Italy. At present I am engaged upon "Mal Nero,"—a distance of which much has been written but little proven. No stone is being left untainted in efforts to gather any and all facts which The best mulch is a loose top soil. Any material spread over the surface induces the small roots to come to the top, stimulates a late fall growth, and damages the next crop." Kerosene is fatal to all kinds of insects, and for that reason it is frequently used as a preventive of damage by the cabbage worm. An objection to its use is that the kerosene impregnates the cabbage with its odor. The remedy is as obnoxious as the work of the cabbage worm. Remove all surplus honey at the close of the honey season intended for market. Comb honey will become solid if left on the hives during the summer. The upper stories or surplus chambers should be left on the hives throughout the hot weather and until feeding is done in the fall. Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herndon in 1781. The other planets then known had been observed ever since men began studying the stars. Herndon, sweeping the heavens with his reflector, came upon an object that he knew was not a fixed star. In a day or two it had moved, and he announced the discovery of a comet, for no one dreamed of the existence of another planet. It was nearly a year before its claim to be a planet was fully established. The excitement caused by the unlocked for event was very great, and honor and fame were Herndon's reward. King George III knighted the discovery, endowed him with a pension and provided him with means for constructing the forty-foot reflector with which he afterwards discovered the two inner shells of fission. It was found by re-examining book that several other astronomers had made observations on the star, but had not discovered its true nature. Little is known of Uranus, the smallest of the four giant moons of the system, making its low altitude near the sun in eight-four years on a diameter of about five miles. There are inflections in its spherical shape, its dimness in light and fifth-hand or fifth-hand motion. Uranus discovered by Herndon in 1792, and measured its distance in 1793. He also measured its size from these objects by measuring their diameters. His measurements were based on his observations of Uranus.

The profits derived in that man left never from the gross margins after all the expenses have been deducted, and the mean amount per annum remained constant there in a correspondingly larger profit. There are many more facts about Uranus than those mentioned here. But let us focus on what we know most about this planet. California potato mand next winter this season.

Our Minister Bathurst. The new Perthification Act, which has joined both houses of Onganum, provides $100,000 for the purchase of items for battles at Montana, New York and San Francisco, and $1,221,000 for constructing the works of which $200,000 will be expended in San Francisco. The Government probably already possesses all the required pallets of aluminium for military purposes around San Francisco bay, and presumably the portion of the appropriation for items in the vicinity for the acquisition of hauls estimate the Hendle Modern long mango grant tender it necessary to erect batteries along the non-signet to keep at a distance hundred miles, which would rather win two tons of shells against the pennants into the streets of San Francisco. As the Secretary of War it was noted with discretionary power to procure the required land by condemnation in one owner's demand Lanny prosec, the host site will be obtained without undue delay. The work of heavy gun-making is now well under way in Eastern foundries, and there is a prospect of the establishment of Government ordinance works on this coast in the near future. The amendments should be ready for the guns. The plans of defense also contemplate many mortar batteries, and the mortars can be hurried out with comparative rapidity. Some time ago it was stated that two Zalinki dynamite guns were to be furnished forthwith for this harbor, but they have not yet materialized, and it is not known that any preparation has been made for mounting Winnipesaukee Men. From every watchful place in the country from Monterey and Santa Cruz and Staten Island and Commune Beach and San Diego, from Herbster and Malvern and Oceans Island and Athletic City and Virginia Springs, from the Thamesland Islands and Morgans Falls—a plinth-like foundation until that there have been no young men anywhere this season. Just such a very small group of girls after Waterloo when twenty years of侵袭 warfare had moved down the flame of French manhood, and a hal walking down a village straight through all the girls to the windows with useful open and shaped fingers. But we have had no wars. There has been no daughter of our innocent youth. No plague nor pestilence has destined the marks of the name of the golden west, or the East either. Mr. Porter regards the proportion of the rooms about the same as usual. There are on this slope a few more boys than girls, but little in effect by the preponderance of the fair mix on the other side of the continent. Although for every Jill there is a Jack, if she could only find him. Whatever he may be he has not been this year at the hotels at summer watering-place. Dismal conditions have come from Santa Cruz and Monterey and other resorts of a hundred girls—and two men; of sixty beautiful creations, sweet enough to lure the Gods from Olympus—and only one man; of forty madmen, most divinely tall and most divinely fair, and no man at all to divide among them. And when the Saturday half-holiday did start a little streamlet of young men from city to summer resorts the sexes did not mix any better than oil and water. At the Saturday evening hops the girls sat round the room chattering with each other or reading books. Occasionally—horrors of horrors!—one girl would sleep another girl's waist and the pair would go whirling round the room. Meanwhile a group of allow youthe fringed the entrance of the room, gased a while at paradise and presently mailed away in the direction of the clubhouse or the bil- Bonanza Farmer What a bonanza the farmers of this section are reaping, to be sure! It is not the fruit growers alone who are in the swim, but those who are engaged in the production of garden truck are coining money. Potatoes are selling by the car load for $1 25 to $1 35 per hundred, with an active demand for all that can be had. Onions are worth $2 a hundred and upward. These highly flavored onions are prolific in good soil, the crops running at 300 to 600 sacks to the acre. A stack will weigh nearly 100 pounds, and will sell for $2 to $2 10 each. From an acre sales will run at $600 to over $1,200 an acre. The farmer who cannot subsist on such profits must be extravagant. At 300 sacks an acre, and 30 cents a sock, the crop is worth $90 an acre, a fair profit enough. It is a pity that the Chinese are about the only people in the business of truck gardening hereabouts.—Los Angeles Herald. Our Fruits in Chicago The Chicago trade in California fruit is altogether the result of the last ten years' growth. Its volume alone is more considerable than the entire fruit trade of Chicago in 1888. Throughout the entire year the delicious product of the glorious climate and the fertile soil of the grand Pacific State arrives here in long trains laden with tons upon tons of fruit. From a large dealer in this specialty it was learned that $10,000,000 probably would not cover the sum total spent here for California fruit. Almost everything that grows anywhere on the globe in the line of fruit is produced somewhere in California, and subsequently finds its way to Chicago, fresh fruit, as well as dried and canned and otherwise preserved. In many lines this California fruit is in the lead as to quality, especially as to pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, etc. And while in price, necessarily because of the immense distance traversed by rail, the California fruit is on the whole decidedly higher than the article from near home, the constantly and rapidly growing demand for this fruit from the other side of the continent shows that Chicagoans and the whole Northwest bank of them know how to appreciate a good thing and are willing to pay for it.—Prairie Farmer.

Money in Pointum. California potato will be in as great demand next winter as our fruits have been this season. The commission men say that potatoe will run to a higher figure before next May than ever known here before, except during the "beam" winter of 1867-88. Potatoes are now a very profitable crop to the farmers. The name of the rine in price in the great Indian of the crop in nearly all of the Eastern States. In Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado potatoes are now a laxary; the draught and hot winds have laid ruins to two-thirds the crop. In Minnesota, Illinois and other States there is a shortage of the arro, and California potatoe are in great demand in Kansas, Colorado and all that region. Our California potatoe are now selling at $25 a mack in Denver, and there are numerous orders for more of the vegetable to be shipped to that city. Potatoe has heart the crop in Cincinnati and the Middle States. In some territories potatoe are a complete failure and will not be worth gathering. There is a great European demand also for American potatoe.—Punica Progress. Southern Pacific Railway. MUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY TABLE.

The first appearance of the owls was noticed by one of Mr. Mayer's sons, who, in romping about the barn, discovered a nest of the young birds. There were no large owls in sight, and the boy made one of the owls capture and carried it to the house. His mother compelled him to return it to its nest. He had no sooner placed it with the others than one of the old huds appeared and attacked him furiously, beating him in the face with its wings and snatching him with his claws and bill. Shielding himself with his arms, the lad ran away. The owl left him at the barn door. That afternoon one of the young ladies of the family had occasion to visit the carriage-house, where a great owl flew down and alighted on her back. She shook off with difficulty, and in the struggle had her permeate horn. Since then owls have taken complete possession of the woodbuilding and their surroundings. Seams of the birds, which are of day-old quailts, have followed the first incarnation and have made their marks in the barn. Several have been killed, but this means only so much other mute mice. Even she does not even venture near the cunning places without notice or other precaution. The mutual defense of umbrellas has been at last adapted, and now when any member of the larger family visits the earth's surface he holds a premature over his hand. Already these umbrellas have been raised by the birds finding appropriate them in vain whenever they touch them like the earth's surface. The Mayer family see in a sense of mind They don't wish to move out, but they cannot disguise their intelligence beneath.
