OF IM. The Farmers' Institute. Successful Meeting of the Horticulturalists and University Professors at Fullerton Last Week. On motion of Mr. E. K. Benchley, the following resolution was unanimously carried: We, the farmers and fruit growers of Orange county, assembled at the Farmers' Institute at Fullerton, August 28th and 29th. Resolve That the Legislature be urged to aid our State University in continuing the holding of these Institutes throughout our State, by increasing the amounts set apart for them; believing that in no other way can so great a good be accomplished to the agricultural interests at so little a cost. The Farmers' Institute held at Fullerton on Friday and Saturday last was a largely attended and very interesting affair. Mr. Derment's Hall was quite filled with ladies and gentlemen at each of the four sessions—two on each day—and much valuable information was obtained from the discussions and the papers read. A striking display of the fruits and other products of the locality was made in the hall, potted plants added to the lovelliness of the interior, and the scent of fruits and flowers floated over all. The Institute assembled for its first session on Friday afternoon, when the hall was filled to the doors with ladies and gentlemen who came to meet with the Professors of the University and discuss with them matters of horticulture that engaged their attention. Invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. F. Wenk, after which Rev. Holcomb delivered the address of welcome. In the absence of Prof. Wickson, who was detained until evening at Fallbrook, the response was made by Prof. Cook of Claremont, an affable gentleman and interesting speaker. The first paper of the session was one on Walnut Culture by W. M. McFadden of the intervention of the middleman or broker. Hundreds of letters are received this year from all parts of the country wanting to buy nuts offering high prices if the growers will protect the dealers from lower prices of the brokers. The custom now in vogue is for the largest association of growers who control the largest quantity of nuts to fix the prices; say 150 cars and that practically fixes the price for the balance of the other 150 cars without the grower having a word to say about it—this is not just to each other and should be right. A general discussion of the paper followed, and such matters as leaf aphis, root knot and hundred alliments of the walnut tree, as well as transplating, and other matters of interest, were entered into. The discussion was participated in by Messrs. McFadden, Coffman, Rea, Neff, Benchley, Staley, Holoomh, McDermont Pendleton, Vail and others. Two years ago, Mr. McFadden said, in the nuts from his orchard and that of Mr. Gilman there had been found some ten per cent of poor nuts, which he thought was occasioned by a lack of irrigation when the nuts were setting. Mr. Coffman of Rivera said he had the same experience, but attributed it to the aphis. Prof. Cook—Have you the aphis here? Mr. McFadden—I don't know what it is. The Professor—Well, I hope you never will.[Laughter.] Mr. Coffman went to some walnut leaves lying on the platform and picking out one with a few specimens of the aphis—a tiny white animallouae with the ability to get over the leaf in good shape—upon it, and exhibited it to the meeting. Speaking as to the means of securing the best results in planting walnuts, Mr. Moart and sprightly and is greatly improved by the addition of sugar. Like many brid fruits it has very small seeds and sequentially a larger percentage of juice pulp. The cove, which remains as in blackberry, is thick, but soft and mellow. The berry begins reddening before fully grown and has none of the bitter blackberry at any stage. This may that for jelly or jam it is unsurpassed; begins ripening about the middle of M. main crop lasting two months. Somewhat inolined to produce second third crops, a tendency which is increased by proper pruning. I consider it as remarkable a thing in berry family as the Navel is in the ornamental family and believe it is destined to speed superede the other berries. It has been tested by Eastern growers who proclaim it the most remarkable fruit that has appeared in the past fifty years is said to be perfectly hardy without tention as far north as Pennsylvania. Mr. Bristol exhibited several pictures of the Logan berry, showing them to be fine and appearing; also some jam, which was excellent. By many it is believed Logan berry, as Mr. Bristol says, is stined to take the place of the other berry. G. H. Carlyle of Westminster gave interesting talk on Jersey cows. His attention had been first attracted to South California as a dairy country by learning that butter was a dollar a pound and alfalfa grew all the year round. His son of Jersey cattle is well known in the countryside and Mr. Carlyle frequently sells calves $75 a head, and the demand for them is great that purchasers do not wait to them before purchasing, but take them quickly as they can get them. His feed on the salt grass of the county, and opinion is that salt grass gives the bus firmness. At Long Beach he noticed as soon as he pouned his cows up, his beef melted before he got to town with it, when the cows were turned out on salt grape butter became firm again. He delivered milk from four Jersey cows at the Winster cremery, and his neighbor, Jude McCoy, delivered the milk from two One day they met at the creamery, and SHOES CHEAP CASH STORE ED IN — BELESS St., COR.

Invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. F. Wickson, after which Rev. Holcomb delivered the address of welcome. In the absence of Prof. Wickson, who was detained until evening at Falbrook, the response was made by Prof. Cook of Claremont, an affable gentleman and interesting speaker. The first paper of the session was one on Walnut Culture by W. M. McFadden of Placentia, which was as follows: WALNUT CULTURK. BY WM. M. M.FADDEN. To be successful as a walnut grower several things must be taken into consideration. First, and most important must be a rich deep soil. Second, find a proper location. Third, where an abundance of water can be had for irrigation. We hear occasionally that a fungus disease or some other trouble has attacked the walnut trees. I have made this somewhat of a study and my investigations have convinced me that where there appears to be some aliment it usually occurs where the roots reach either water, alkali soil, coarse sand or cannot penetrate the soil on account of hardpan or tough soil. Therefore to make a success, as I said before, get a deep loose rich soil with surface water not nearer than 12 or 15 feet, but with plenty of water for irrigation. The location should be within the influence of the coast breeze, as walnuts do not like too hot nor too cold weather. From this I conclude that the area of walnut culture in California is limited, confined to a small part of the counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange. The nut trees can be grown on damp soil and for a few years on land underlaid with gravel and sand, also can be grown fairly well for a few years without irrigation, but to reap good crops from healthy trees for a period of years, all the above unfavorable conditions must be avoided. The conditions for success must be good deep soil; on the coast base of the hills or mountains, free from alkali, not too near surface water and with abundance of water for irrigation. Having secured the proper location and satisfactory conditions, then plant your trees not nearer than 50 feet apart. Do not raise crops between the trees while young as such crops rarely ever pay and the damage to your trees is considerable as well as a severe drain upon the fertility of the soil. The soft shell is the most popular; it comes into bearing sooner, yields well and the demand for the nuts is on the increase. A few years ago one cent pound difference was made between hard and soft shell, this year one and one-half cents will be the rule, with perhaps two cents in the future. I would therefore recommend good healthy soft shell stock, would select trees grown in good walnut land to escape black-knot and other diseases that are likely to be found on trees from gravelly soil. The sooner a tree gets size the sooner it pays, hence I would force its growth during its first years by at least two good annual irrigations, thoroughly soaking the ground and then keeping it well cultivated by plowing once and thoroughly cultivate, not permitting the ground to get weedy or hard. Always cultivate after each irrigation both ways, not less than six or seven inches deep, and keep the ground well stirred all the time. There is a great difference of opinion in regard to pruning. The old style of cutting off every limb as high as a man can reach is now out of date. And the new style which some of our walnut growers have adopted of not winning at all, but leaving the lower Mr. Coffman of Rivera said he had the same experience, but attributed it to the aphis. Prof. Cook—Have you the aphis here? Mr. McFadden—I don't know what it is. The Professor—Well, I hope you never will. [Laughter.] Mr. Coffman went to some walnut leaves lying on the platform and picking out one with a few specimens of the aphis—a tiny white animaliae with the ability to get over the leaf in good shape—upon it, and exhibited it to the meeting. Speaking as to the means of securing the best results in planting walnuts, Mr. Mo-Dermont said that he got the best results from planting the nut and raising the trees from the seed. It took a little longer, but it repaid the horticulturalist in the better tree. The consensus of opinion was that plenty of irrigation was necessary to the growth and bearing of walnut trees, and those who have seen John Hanna's orchard at Miraflores, which was never irrigated, and which compares favorably with any orchard in the county, were sorry that gentleman was not present to take a hand in the discussion. J. S. Calkins of Pomona read an interesting article on Olive Culture; Mr. Calkins has promised to give us the paper after he reads it at a meeting of the Institute at Poona this week, and on receipt of it, we shall present it to our readers. Mr. W. M. Bristol of East Highlands, San Bernardino county, read the following very interesting paper on the Logan Berry: THE LOGAN BERRY. BY W. M. BRISTOL, OF EAST HIGHLANDS. One of the pleasing features of the California yarn is that it is very often true. It is rather remarkable, however, that a land not noted for its indigenous fruits should have been chosen by Nature as the birthplace of so remarkable a thing as the Logan berry. The story of its origin is familiar to many, but will bear repeating. It is best told in the language of Judge Logan, of Santa Cruz county, the gentleman with whom it originated and for whom it was named: "The berry is a cross between the Aughinbaugh blackberry (a wild berry found by a Mr. Aughinbaugh of Alameda, near the bay as Schatten Park) and an old raspberry. The Aughinbaugh stood between a row of the Crandall or Terza Early and the raspberry named. I gathered the seed and planted it in the fall of 1885, intending to get a cross between the Crandall and Aughinbaugh." It did not think such a thing as a cross between the raspberry and blackberry possible. I have never attempted to do anything with it commercially, but it has been abundant and regular crops ever since. The berry has been grown from seed several times and the result in every case has been true redberry. I suppose a thousand seedlings have been grown from this plant, and I have never heard of a single instance of a seedling resembling either the raspberry or the blackberry; they are not all as good as the parent, but they are all true redberries. This shows that the berry has come to stay. That it is an entirely new and distinct berry I have so doubt. It is known and grown all over this county as the Logan berry.* Many a thing which comes to us in gaudy colors and flowery language of the eastern catalogue and which is doubtless all right when grown in a congenial climate proves a dismal failure in the arid climate.$$75\$a\ head,\ and\ the\ demand\ for\ them\ is\ great\ that purchasers\ do\ not wait to buy them before purchasing, but take them quickly as they can get them.\ His feed on the salt grass of the county,\ and opinion is that salt grass gives the bush firness.\ At Long Beach he noticed as soon as he penned his cows up,\ his bush melted before he got to town with it,\ when the cows were turned out on salt grape\ but the butter became firm again.\ He delivers milk from four Jersey cows at The Winston cremery,\ and his neighbor,\ Julie McCoy,\ delivered the milk from two One day they met at the cremery,\ and her Carlyle bet the Judge his month's milk,\ but the milk from his four Jerseys would be more than from the twelve common oak.\ The Judge accepted the bet,\ and when month was over,\ Capt.

Price, 50 cents. grown in good walnut land to escape blackknot and other diseases that are likely to be found on trees from gravelly soil. The sooner a tree gets size the sooner it pays, hence I would force its growth during its first years by at least two good annual irrigations, thoroughly soaking the ground and then keeping it well cultivated by plowing once and thoroughly cultivate, not permitting the ground to get weedy or hard. Always cultivate after each irrigation both ways, not less than six or seven inches deep, and keep the ground well stirred all the time. There is a great difference of opinion in regard to pruning. The old style of cutting off every limb as high as a man can reach is now out of date. And the new style which some of our walnut growers have adopted of not pruning at all, but leaving the lower limbs rest or lie on the ground will never come much into vogue. But a good medium of starting out the limbs from two to four feet from the ground and have them start from the trunks on all sides at about an angle of 45 deg. It think it is the best plan to keep all new branches or water sprouts that are inclined to hang down well out off so as to cultivate close to the trees. Always have your pruning done in December; then no bleeding occurs and the wounds heal over with the next year's growth. Do not dabb oil or paint on the cuts. When the trees come into full bearing, say two hundred pounds to each tree, they require plenty of water to keep them growing, and to fill out the nuts, one good irrigation in August that may cost five cents a tree, will make many extra pounds of better nuts. I have found that it is the poorest kind of economy to economize on irrigation. The tap or wood roots run deep and must have moisture to make the tree grow and the surface or fibrous rootlets are those that make and feed the nuts, so if the deep and thorough irrigation which I speak of is not done the tree cannot grow, and if the surface is not kept moist the nuts will be light, partially filled and many of them hollow. The principal nut growing localities are Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties, raising about 800 carloads of ten tons each. The California nuts are superior to foreign nuts, meet with much favor with consumers and are in demand by the dealer. The custom herefore and even to a large extent this year is to put the crop in brokers' hands to find a market, paying a brokerage of about $75 a car. When 150 are so placed the brokers can fix the price for all the crop, which they do, often at one-half to one cent per pound being lower than the market will stand, therefore losing thousands of dollars to the growers annually, while large dealers East are clamoring for the chance of dealing directly with the growers, offering top notch prices, spot cash, without brokerage. As the area of the nuts is limited the crop is easily controlled. It would be better for all the growers to get together before any contracts are signed, tiling up the crops, and agree together on prices, sell direct to dealers East without never attempted to do anything with it commercially, but it has borne abundant and regular crops ever since. The berry has been grown from seed several times and the result in every case has been after red-berry. I suppose a thousand seedlings have been grown from this plant, and I have never heard of a single instance of a seedling resembling either the raspberry or the blackberry; they are not all as good as the parent, but they are all true redberries. This shows that the berry has come to stay. That it is an entirely new and distinct berry I have no doubt. It is known and grown all over this county as the Logan berry." Many a thing which comes to us in the gaudy colors and flowery language of the eastern catalogue and which is doubtless all right when grown in a congenial climate, proves a dimal failure in the arid climate of the southwest. Hence I am often asked, "How does the Logan berry succeed in Southern California?" The answer may be put into one word, "Perfectly." The pictures prove that. The pen may exaggerate and the printer be made an accomplice, but the photographer is a man whose deeds are done in the light and whose testimony cannot be questioned. I planted a half-acre of the berries on my place at East Highlands before I had ever seen the fruit. The wisdom of my venture was questioned, but I had read the reports of the State Experiment Station at Berkeley and was determined for once to be the "bell sheep." The plants grew rapidly, many branches measuring at the closest of the first season fifteen feet in length, the total growth of some plants being over 800 feet. I should explain that they were on good soil. They were not fertilized, but were irrigated twice or three times. I have observed that plants and trees must needs eat and drink—that simply breathing the climate in which we delight will not bring them to profitable fruition. The Logan berry is not much inlinded to bear the first season, evidently preferring to spend the first year in getting a "good ready," but is in full bearing the second season. I had a few hundred berries, however, the first season—enough to satisfy me of its merit, and the following spring I increased my patch to five acres. A brief description of the plant and its trut is in order: Its habit of growth is trailing—very much like the dawberry, but more robust. It does not send up "snuckers" like the blackberry and red raspberry, but reproduces itself by taking root at the ends of the branches. The new canes which are to carry the next year's crop spring from the main root. The thorns are very numerous, but are short, straight and soft—not at all troublesome. The berry resembles the blackberry in shape, but averages larger. The color has been aptly described as a dark, bright red. The flavor has not yet been rendered in English. It is somewhat like that of the red raspberry but is more Evening Session. At the evening session Prof. Wickson the University was present and occupied Chair. Mr. Coffman's paper on the walnut read, which was followed by a general cussion, similar to that of the morning. Mr. Coffman's paper was as follows: WALNUT CULTURE BY CHARLES A. COFFMAN, RIVERA, CALIFORNIA. In this article I shall endeavor only give such information as has been gained by personal experience, during the past eight years in my own locality, the neighborhood of Rivera, Los Angeles county. First, in planting for the nursery, sell good nuts a little above the average size good shape and well developed, of the variety you wish to grow, plant as early as Marohethe season be favorable, that is if it is too wet and cold; if such is the case laird planting would be better, but I would advise later than the first of May, as young plants are likely to be sunburned left to start in the heat of summer. nursery planting have rich soil; and he ground with water 4 or 5 feet from the face is preferable as the moisture being near the surface would keep the young tree growing without irrigation, and they would necessarily be transplanted to the orchard before the roots could reach the water which would be injurious to the tree. I think would be no danger of root-knot among planted on such soil, while if they are in lily sandy ground they are very likely to hatch that disease and will also make an infertile tree. This soil pertains strictly to nursery, for the orchard it would not do all to have water so near the surface. nursery planting I should putthe nuts at eighteen inches apart and if they all grow and are to be left in nursery until three years old they should be two feet apart in row with five feet between rows. Trees should not be transplanted after leaves start. January and February be best months for starting an orchard; though it might be done in March or April. I would dig trees in the nursery as soon as possible after leaves fall, lift them carefully from the hole and out all the rods smooth with a sharp knife; then if not resisted to transplant, place them back in he cover with dirt, leaning a little to the soil as that will afford protection from sun or frost. For orchard planting, trees should be placed at least fifty feet apart each way across in rich bottom land I would plant 30x and in time, say fourteen years, remove an alternate one leaving them 60x60; if limbs interlock before that time; the trunk which would be eventually taken out must be looped off.

Like many hybrids it has very small seeds and contains a larger percentage of juice and The cove, which remains as in the berry, is thick, but soft and melting. Berry begins reddening before it is brown and has none of the bitter of rockberry at any stage. This means jelly or jam it is unsurpassed. It ripening about the middle of May, on crop lasting two months. It is not inclined to produce second and crops, a tendency which is increased per pruning. Consider it as remarkable a thing in the family as the Navel is in the orange and believe it is destined to speedily hide the other berries. It has been tested by Eastern growers to eliminate it the most remarkable fruit appeared in the past fifty years. It to be perfectly hardy without progress far north as Pennsylvania. Bristol exhibited several pictures of large berry, showing them to be large appearing; also some jam, which evident. By many it is believed the berry, as Mr. Bristol says, is detake the place of the other berries. Carlyle of Westminster gave an ing talk on Jersey cows. His attendence been first attracted to Southern America as a dairy country by learning latter was a dollar a pound and that grew all the year round. His herd cattle is well known in the county, Mr. Carlyle frequently sells calves at road, and the demand for them is so that purchasers do not wait to see before purchasing, but take them as they can get them. His cows the salt grass of the county, and his is that salt grass gives the butter. At Long Beach he noticed that as he penned his cows up, his butter before he got to town with it, and the cows were turned out on salt grass became firm again. He delivered from four Jersey cows at the Westcreamery, and his neighbor, Judge delivered the milk from twelve, they met at the creamery, and Mr. in that length of time produce at least 900 pounds of nuts, and at a much lower price than they have been selling for would give $50 to a tree, which would be more profitable than planting the space to grain or fruit, as has been the custom. When the trees are taken out they may be used to good advantage as fuel. In regard to variety, I consider the soft shell by far the best. The trees are thrifty, good growers and bearers, fruit superior and commands a better price in market than the hard shell. The leaves also drop later in the season, making it more convenient for gathering the nut. In pruning it has been the custom to trim to the height of six or seven feet but I think four or five feet is better. Much high pruning makes the tree top heavy and the prevailing winds causes them to lean, thus exposing one side of the trunk to the sun and causing sunburn. I think it best to trim very little if any. It is the nature of the tree for the limbs to grow downward and fill any space of account that may have been made by trimming, while if they are allowed to grow in their natural state, the limbs will start near the ground, growing upward and keeping out of the way much better than when allowed to hang down. I have not been able as yet to grow them just as I would like in this respect, on account of raising crops—mostly corn—between trees, and I find it difficult to save the lower limbs, when young and tender, as a very little push or strain in plowing will injure them next to the trunk of the tree, and they should then be out off to save the tree from greater injury than the loss of a limb. Avoid crochets or forks. If a tree is about evenly divided the abundance of foliage which it has in summer, will likely cause it to split with a very little wind, and you will lose the use of the tree several years if not altogether. If badly broken, start a new sprout near the ground and in six years, with care it will be a bearing tree. In gathering soft shells the nuts should not be left long on the ground as the sun and fog will cause the shells to open and the heat is likely to make the nut rancid. They should not be left long in the gathering sacks as they will sweat and turn black. If the nuts are to be washed it should be done as soon as emptied from the picking sacks, as they will clean much easier then. Then spread in trays for drying; if the nuts are to be bleached they should be thoroughly dry before it is done. We use trays 3x6 feet with sides four or six inches in depth at a slant bottom with one half as SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. According to cablegrams received in Philadelphia, the steamer Laurada, which sailed for Cuba August 6, landed one of the most formidable filibustering expeditions yet shipped to the island. The Laurada landed 200 men and an immense cargo on the southern coast of Cuba, in Santa Clara province. The cargo consisted of 53,000 pounds of dynamite, eleven field guns, four cannon, seven Gatlings and a vast quantity of ammunition. Secretary of State Brown is said to have declared that he will refuse to place upon the ticket the names of the fusion Democratic-Populist Presidential electors, on the ground that the election law of California requires the names of the electors to be arranged under their party designation. As soon as the fusionists present the names to him he will dictate a letter to the Attorney-General, asking for his opinion in the matter. United States Minister Terrell, at Constantinople, cables the State Department that great bloodshed and rioting have occurred there. Several hundred Armenians were killed one night last week and at the time the cable was sent all the houses in the city were closed. Dynamite bombs were exploded in the streets by Armenians and thirty Turkish soldiers were killed. Revolutionists were placed on board a steamer and conveyed to some foreign port. Hundreds of Armenians have been killed. C F. Crocker, vice-president of the Southern Pacific, has resigned as candidate for presidential elector at large on the Republican ticket. Mr. Crocker neglected to register, and is therefore ineligible for the office for which he was nominated. A meeting of the state central committee would be called to fill the vacancy. W.W. Montague, a faction candidate for president-elect elector from the Fourth congressional district, also resigned. A desire to secure party harmony is assigned as the cause. At 9 o'clock Saturday evening the residents of San Rafael were astonished by a shower of crickets, which fell in all parts of the town. On the court house square they could be particularly noticed, and on the concrete it appeared as if coal black paint had been placed thereon. After they fell they climbed up the sides of the building and many of them entered their residences through open windows. When satisfied at finding a place to rest, they sent forth their chirrups as though through thankfulness. and the demand for them is so before purchasers do not wait to see as they can get them.

He delivered from four Jersey cows at the Westcreamery, and his neighbor, Judge delivered the milk from twelve. They met at the creamery, and Mr. bet the Judge his month's milk that from his four Jerseys would test him from the twelve common ows. Judge accepted the bet, and when the was over, Capt. Carlyle took both. He delivered 70 or 80 pounds of day, while the Judge delivered 150 but the Captain's milk tested over, while the Judge didn't go three. Carlyle is the inventor of the Great Joy Bourgoo. He was invited once by Grove Populists to come over some Bourgoo for them. While he of their way of political thinking, he was to be neighborly, and fixed some for them. Cook—What is Bourgoo? Carlyle—(Reprosoachfully) Didn't have any Bourgoo? The Captain went on to tell how it made of. [Laughter.] On this everybody was invited, the only event being that each guest bring a sand spoon. The storekeepers hadn't of them. There were three thousands and each one came with a tin a spoon. It was an old Kentucky oil was the best way to get a crowd together he ever saw. [Laughter.] It was a good Democratic dish. Be-Bourgoo dinner, Westminster had Democrats, and now there are 80 laughter and applause.] Cook suggested that a committee be led, to report to-morrow, upon the ability of forming a permanent farm and on motion of Mr. Beschley, a vice of three, composed of E.K., A. McDermont and W.M. Mcwere appointed as such committee. Woodbridge delivered an entertain-ness on the Eucalyptus, and made an offer of the oils of the tree. Evening Session.

We use trays 3x6 feet with sides four or six inches in depth, a slat bottom with one-half an inch space between the slats. For the last two years the walnuts grown in this neighborhood have been sourced by placing them in wire oylinder, wetting them and revolving it for five or ten minutes, or longer if necessary, to make them clean. Then throw on water enough to wash clean before removing them from the washer. This will greatly improve them in appearance, remov-ing all fiber and pieces of hull that might be sticking to them. It also gives them a much smoother appearance. Now place in trays and dry. There is much more that might be said on this subject, but for fear of occupying too much time, I will submit this, hoping it worth your consideration. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that almonds would not do well, although it was a pity Mr. Rea was not present to take a hand in the discussion. Mr. Rea's almond orchard is a sight to see, and he assures us he will raise the finest almonds you ever saw. QUESTION BOX. Prof. Wickson opened the question box. The first question was: How to get rid of mosquitoes? The answer was kerosene. Prof. Woodbridge said that if the lid of a yeast powder box were tacked on to a long pole, and a drop or two of kerosene put in the lid, and lifted up to within a foot of a mosquito on the ceiling, the varmint will fall over into the kerosene dead. Use kerosene around stagnant water, sparingly, and the pests will soon disappear. Will water kill the red spider? General discussion. Rain will not. Water might if applied in proper season and with sufficient force. What is the best way to kill squirrels? Mr. Benchley used poisoned wheat for a time, and then changed the dish to poisoned oranges, and so on, and found the plan efficacious. Mr. Pallas thought the shotgun method was the best. Mr. Staley used bi-sulphate of carbon, and killed them by hundreds. He poured it in their burrows, and they never came up again. How to cure root knot? Prof. Wickson said it was not pleasant to contemplate root knot, because the best way to cure root knot was to grub up the trees. A general discussion followed, the consensus of opinion being that root knot could be cured by chiseling it out. One orchardist used carbolic acid after chiseling, and had good results. How to prune raspberries? Mr. McDermont said the best way was to dig them out. Mr. Staley objected, and thought if properly taken care of, raspberries are a good thing. At 9 o'clock Saturday evening the residents of San Rafael were astonished by a shower of crickets, which fell in all parts of the town. On the court house square they could-be particularly noticed, and on the concrete it appeared as if coal black paint had been placed thereon. After they fell they climbed up the sides of the building and many of them entered the residences through open windows. When satisfied at finding a place to rest, they sent forth their chirrups as though through thankfulness. The noise is said to have been deafening. Congressman Hugh A. Dinsmore of the Fifth Arkansas district, ex-Uhited States Minister to Corea, was mobbed at a political speaking at Englandtide, Van Buren county, on Wednesday, and sustained injuries which will confine him to his bed for some time to come. Dinsmore was recently renominated for a third term in Congress. He spoke at Englandtide Wednesday and divided his time with Jerry Scanlan, a local Populist candidate. In the course of his speech Scanlan called Dinsmore a liar, whereupon the Congressman struck Scanlan in the face. Immediately four of Scanlan's friends attacked Dinsmore and before his friends could get to him he was almost insensible. After an absence of five months, Lord and Lady Sholto Douglas have returned to California with the intention of making it their home. They have given up the idea of a trip to England this fall, and will, as soon as they can find a suitable place, go to housekeeping either in Oakland or in Alameda. Lord Sholto will to morrow negotiate with one of business colleges in Oakland for a course of instruction. It is his intention to take a thorough course in banking. As soon as he is proficient, he expects that his father, the Marquis of Queensbury, will invest for him in some banking enterprise of this State.Lady Douglas says her eastern trip was a financial success, but that she has retired from the stage at the request of Lord Sholto's mother and would never return to it. She said life was distasteful to her. Among the merry hearted soubrettes who amuse the public at one of the Coney Island resorts is Mrs. Millie Azevedo, who is a recent acquisition to the stage on account of the death of her husband in Cuba. But when and where whether by revolutionists or royal troops the dispatch did not state. Mrs. Azevedo said her husband was a mine owner, 37 years old. He was a Cuban, but when she met him in San Francisco a year and a half ago he had been in business there for several months. She was living in the same city with her parents, her maiden name being Heim. After a courtship of two months they were married.Business called Mr. Azevedo east and his wife went with him.In November he was summoned to the Azores.He left his wife well provided for and said he would return in four months.Since then Mrs.Azevedo has received no word from her husband.Her funds giving out and having a good voice she went on the stage to support herself.

Benchley read the following interesting article on Fertilization. FERTILIZATION. BY E. K. BENCHLEY. One of the most important, in fact the most important, question after irrigation, to the farmer and fruit grower, is that of fertilization. As important to them as fuel is to the manufacturer. The sooner they recognize this expense as an absolute necessity towards the cost of production the greater will be their returns. We feed our animals to make them grow and produce results. In the same way we must feed our orchards if we expect satisfactory and paying results. None I am satisfied will differ with me on this question. What we all wish to know is when and how to feed, so as to gain the most for the money expended and get the greatest benefit. To me, the only and the most satisfactory way, is for us to have small test plots. That is, try different manures and fertilizers on different plots and watch carefully the results. Those proving the most satisfactory are the ones for us to follow. If we find an application of horse manure, mixed with a certain amount of potash, phosphate acid or nitrogen or some other combination, to be the best, then without a doubt this will be the mixture to follow and stick to. I believe it would be a good plan for three or four fruit growers living in the same neighborhood, where the soil and conditions are the same, to have test plots, showing the expenses. In this way results could be had with smlll cost to each. Again, I say this seems to me the only safe and sure way to find out just what should be used. In the Farmers' Bulletin No. 21, written by W. H. Beal, an estimate is made, showing the value of the horse manure of the United States for one year to be $432,000-000; of cattle, $1,007,000,000; of sheep, $90,000,000. There is not enough coin, gold and silver, in the United States, to (Continued on Page Four.)
