A session of the Farmers' Institute commenced yesterday morning in Fullerton. A small audience was present at the beginning, and the meeting did not warm up until the afternoon session. The committee on decoration, consisting of Rev. F. R. Holcomb, Mrs. S. F. Daniels, S. Lenton and Mrs. J. Holverson, performed their duties very tastefully, as the hall was gracefully decorated with palms, ferns, pot plants and flags. Among those in attendance from outside counties were Prof. E. J. Wickson of the University of California, Prof. Mills of the Experiment Station at Pomona, and Prof. A. J. Cook of Claremont. The Farmers' Institutes are held under the auspices of the University of California, and is called a university extension movement, supported by the regents, as there is no state appropriation for the purpose. The objects of the Farmers' Institutes are to promote agriculture and horticulture; to show where wear and tear can be diminished, labor saved, methods of cultivation and production improved, and the general welfare of the soil tillers advanced. During the year eighty have been held in the State and twenty in the southern part, and not twice in the same town, thereby carrying scientific agriculture to the farmer. More money always follows intelligence and skill in orchard, field and garden; in dairy, stockyard and apairy. This intelligence the Farmers' Institutes aims to disseminate. Prof. Cook called the meeting to A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Pumphouse and Pumping Plant at Caledonia Grove Destroyed. Shortly after noon on Thursday the pumphouse belonging to Alex Henry at the Caledonia grove was burned to the ground, the building and its contents, the engine, boiler and pumping apparatus and a new windmill standing at its side being entirely consumed. Mr. Henry had been in receipt from San Francisco of some new additions to the pumping plant, and with Mr. Neff and others had succeeded in putting the same in good working order and had pumped a fine stream of eighty inches, when, the noon hour having arrived, all hands adjourned to the resilience some distance away for dinner. The party had partaken of the midday meal and were seated at the table talking when a loud report, like the detonation of a distant cannon, followed instantly by the sibilant hiss of escaping steam, told them that an accident had happened at the pumphouse. All hands ran at once toward the pumphouse, which, as they cleared the sheds and trees about the residence, they found to be in flames. The two tanks, each 30 feet high, and containing each 1000 gallons, had fallen upon the pumphouse, their supports having been burned away, wrecking the engine, permitting the steam to escape and flooding the ground with water. The entire structure was on fire and nothing could be done to save the building. The pumphouse was a frame structure 50x50 feet, with walls 12 feet high. The gable roof was littered with the dry leaves that had fallen from the adjoining cypress trees, and it is thought a spark from the smokestack falling upon the leaves set them afire, with the result that the building was soon in flames and the supports to the tanks burned away. Probably the fire was burning when the party adjourned for dinner. They expected to return and increase the speed of the engine in the endeavor to raise 120 inches of water, Mr. Henry having recently entered into a contract with his neighbor to furnish him water for irrigating purposes for five years. In the burned building were stored Mr. Henry's medals and relics of the Crimean war, in which he participated. He had medals and bars of honor commemorative of the battles of Alma, Inkerman and Sebastopol, but the most highly prized was the Victoria Cross and the cross of the Legion of Honor all of which were destroyed, and have not since been recovered from the ashes.

Harry Whitaker, one of the well-known young business men on Buena Park, was in town on Tuesday on a short visit. John Ramella is acting as night watchman at the cannery, and Billy Boyd is serving in a similar capacity for the dryer. Theo Meyer informs us that his vineyard is looking better than ever, and that the crop of grapes gives promise of an excellent yield. P. S. Springer, traveling freight agent of the Southern Pacific, was in town yesterday looking over the treight situation. A game of baseball at the Landing on Sunday between Los Angeles and Westminster nines resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 9 to 7. O. W. Bill and family of Garden Grove drove through town on Tuesday morning on their way to the Farmers' Institute at Fullerton. The wife of George Curtis of Long Beach, who was Miss Mina Bauer of Anaheim, was safely delivered of a daughter at her home in that city on Sunday of last week. Several property owners in town are thinking of putting in 2-inch pipe connections on their premises, to be better able to cope with fire should occasion arise. The usual summer season has opened at the Landing and among the families camping there are those of Jos. Backs, Geo. Bauer, L. Bolz and Mrs. Dyer. As the weather becomes warmer the beach will present a larger number of tenters who will enjoy the pleasures of this watering place. While Eddie Crowther was driving on Center street last Sunday evening, a buggy being driven in the opposite direction collided with his vehicle. No The objects of the Farmers' Institutes are to promote agriculture and horticulture; to show where wear and tear can be diminished, labor saved, methods of cultivation and production improved, and the general welfare of the soil tillers advanced.

More money always follows intelligence and skill in orchard, field and garden; in dairy, stockyard and apairy. This intelligence of the Farmers' Institutes aims to disseminate. Prof. Cook called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock. The audience sang "America," and Rev. F. R. Holcomb delivered the invocation. H. C. Head was introduced and delivered the address of welcome. Among other things Mr. Head said it was generally understood that the professors of agriculture were engaged in trying to cross a Jersey cow with a hydraulic ram so as to relieve the milkman of the necessity of watering his milk. In defense of science of agriculture he referred the audience to Los Alamitos this county which is the result of the discovery that sugar could be made out of beets. Mr. Head extended a hearty and cordial welcome to the visiting delegation. Prof. E. J. Wickson responded. The professor spoke very encouragingly of the increase of students in the agricultural courses at the university, there being now 120 engaged in the study of agriculture. This number does not include those engaged in the study of botany and its branches. Prof. Wickson says most all teachers of agriculture are practical not theoretic farmers, as the professors are sent to the institutes to talk and exchange ideas with those actually engaged in the cultivation of the soil. Prof. S. S. Twombly read a very interesting paper on "Green Manuring." Prof. Mills agreed in most part with the points as set forth by Prof. Twombly. Several present objected to green manuring in orchards inasmuch as it enticed gophers among the trees. This was particularly the experience of W. M. McFadden and C. C. Chapman. Prof. Cook urged the ladies to form themselves into clubs for mutual benefit, especially in the matter of house hold economies. Mrs. Chaffee stated that such an organization existed in La Habra and that its members derived great benefits from it. Prof. Mills gave a very interesting talk on the "Extermination of Gophers, Squirrels and Linnets." An article by the professor on the same subject will appear in a subsequent issue of this paper. Mr. McFadden says the way to make a gopher cat is to feed them. Some are under the impression that to starve a cat will make it hunt. Mr. McFadden says it is otherwise. Feed a cat milk regular and it will hunt gophers. Owls and snakes were also recommended as gopher exterminators. The meeting then adjourned until 1:30 o'clock. At the afternoon session the committee on exhibits, consisting of W. M. McFadden, Theo. Staley, L. B. Benchely, E. S. Richman, W. J. Hole, O. M. Skinner and W. L. Hale, had quite a collection of fruits on exhibition. The exhibitors and exhibits were as follows: J. C. Sheppard—Peaches, Orange clings, Gutherie clings, George IV, Foster; plums, Burbank, Satsuma, Kelsey; grape fruit. C. C. Chapman—Oranges, Valencia Lates. N. G. Meiser—Bartlett pears. F. D. Chaffee—Shaffer's Colossal tanks burned away. Probably the fire was burning when the party adjourned for dinner. They expected to return and increase the speed of the engine in the endeavor to raise 120 inches of water, Mr. Henry having recently entered into a contract with his neighbor to furnish him water for irrigating purposes for five years. In the burned building were stored Mr. Henry's medals and relieds of the Crimean war, in which he participated. He had medals and bars of honor commemorative of the battles of Alma, Ikerman and Sebastopol, but the most highly prized was the Victoria Cross and the cross of the Legion of Honor all of which were destroyed, and have not since been recovered from the ashes. The loss is estimated at $2000, and there is no insurance. This is the fourth fire Mr. Henry has sustained since living at Caledonia Grove. His losses in all of the fires have been considerable. After each one, as he says, he has had to go to sea to recoup his losses, and after his last fire, some 15 years ago, he made a trip to Alaska, where he was very successful in sealing hunting. He says he is too old to go to sea now, and feels his loss keenly. Only by indomitable energy has he been able to recover from his losses in the past, and his many friends hope that a new pump house and pumping plant may soon replace the burned building. GARDEN GROVE. The Fraternal Aid Association held a meeting in its hall last Monday evening. A great many were present, as it was the wind-up of a contest that has been in progress for the past four months. Mrs. F. P. Chaffee and Chasaholt chose up sides to have a program every meeting night, so many to count so much on each part rendered, and the side with the least points to set up the supper to the council. The contest was very exciting all through, and everything passed off most pleasantly. As yet the result has not been made, but we are all looking forward to the supper and a general good time. After the program on Monday night ice cream and cake was enjoyed by all present. W.M.Scott and R.L.Freeman of Santa Ana were present, and gave very interesting talks for the good of the order. At a late hour the crowd dispersed, all declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. One of the saddest cases that the people of Garden Grove have witnessed for a long time is that of the death of two small children of Mr. and Mrs.F.R.Shunk who took sick and died within two days. One was buried on Sunday and the other one on Monday. The cause of the sudden deaths is not known, but is supposed from eating fruit, and what makes it much more sad, Mr.Shunk is away from home, having gone to Honolulu sometime ago to find employment. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of bereavement. Elmer E.Nichols left last week for Berkeley, where he has secured a position as principal in one of the high schools there. His many friends congratulate him on securing such a high position, which he is competent in every way to fill.

Various methods were suggested chiefly among which was to educate the farmer more thoroughly to his calling. Prof. Wickson then delivered an illustrated talk on "Pruning Deciduous Fruit Trees." The Professor says where is no set rules in pruning, ever body having his or her own idea, but in line with the belief that low trees are the most desirable in every respect. "Olive," was the subject of a paper by Prof. A. P. Hayne not being preempted, E. S. Richman read the paper. The paper will be published later. Mr. McFadden urges olive growers to pickle ripe olives, as they are coming more into demand, and the method of canning green olives is fast going out of practice. W. M. McFadden then read a facetious paper entitled "Kicks." After some discussion of minor matters an adjournment was taken until 8 in the evening.

A. Young have gone to Long Beach to attend the camp meeting that is in progress there this week. Mr. and Mrs. Underwood, who moved to Elsinore last fall, have moved back to Orange county, where they will reside in the future. A. H. Wood, who had the misfortune to get one of his ankles dislocated in a runaway accident some time ago, is fast recovering under the care of Dr. J. D. Chaffee. Garden Grove has been visited by many candidates during the past ten days. The only thing we regret is that we can't vote for all, as they are all good men. Mrs. J. Lane and son Harry left for Catalina some few days ago, where Harry has accepted a position in one of the big hotels. The social held at the M.E. Church on last Tuesday evening by the King's Daughters was well attended, and a most sociable time had. Eleven of the young men of Garden Grove have organized a debating club, which is called the Dewey Circle. They say they have a good attendance, as well as very interesting meetings. A party was given by Miss Mable Moody on last Tuesday evening, at the home of her parents. Guessing contests and ghost stories were the order of the evening. Refreshments were served, which were enjoyed by all. There will be no services held at the M.E. church next Sabbath, as many of our people wish to attend the camp meeting at Long Beach. Wilford Nichols, one of Orange county's most successful teachers, has gone to Berkeley, where he will enter the university. His many friends wish him much success. Mr. Hahn is communicating with a lady resident of Orange, whose name is withheld for the present, who will open the Commercial Hotel here providing satisfactory arrangements can be made. The lady has considerable means, and has had much experience in hotel management. Mr. Hahn and a delegation of citizens are arranging to meet her in a day or two and endeavor to bring about the consummation of the deal. A well kept hotel is what is needed here, and it is to be hoped that the gentlemen will be successful in their mission. -Horticultural Commissioner Huntington informs us the red scale among citrus trees is less numerous this year than for a long time past, orchards which two or three years ago were badly infested are now presenting a cleaner and brighter appearance. Mr. Huntington states that patches of white scale have appeared in numerous localities throughout the county, and he has sent colonies of the vedalia to Tustin, Orange and other nearby places for its eradication. The vedalia makes short work of the white scale, cleaning them out in no time. Mr. Huntington places the life of the vedalia at two weeks and after the eradication of the white scale, he has difficulty in finding any of the parasite among the trees. He is meeting with excellent success at propagating them at his residence in West Anaheim, and is prepared to furnish them to orchardists whose trees may have a visitation of this all but subjugated pest. -The five fire insurance companies having risks in the recently burned schoolhouse have placed their interests in the adjustment of their losses in the hands of W.H.Faust, special adjuster, of Los Angeles. He is co-operating with H.A.McWilliams,C.H.Nickerson,who had been previously appointed to act for the board,having resigned the position on Tuesday. Messrs.Faust and McWilliams worked until midnight on Tuesday night and completed their labors yesterday at noon, when they came to an agreement as to the loss, adjusting the same at $5060.90. The amount appraised as the valuation of the building was $4456.56.From this was deducted the sum of $4456.56for depreciation in the value of the building since its erection, leaving a net value to be paid by the insurance companies of $4010.90.On the furniture $1050 was allowed,making the total losses appraised at $5060.90. The adjustment is perfectly satisfactory to all concerned。 Gleinigkeiten. Bayah has our thanks for a do- excellent green peppers. wife of H. P.

No Four carloads of dried apricots were shipped from the dryer on Saturday, a good portion of the fruit going to foreign ports. The total shipments up to Monday aggregated seven carloads, and since then a carload per day has gone forward. It is estimated that thirty cars of dried fruit will be shipped from the dryer this season. The populace at San Juan enjoyed a spirited horserace Sunday between one of Don Marco Forster's horses and a nag owned by a gentleman of the name of Bush. The race was 460 yards, for a bet of $200 a side. Don Marco's nag came in a few inches ahead of the other caballo, and he was thus ahead his expenses to the State convention at Sacramento. Don Marco entertained a company of guests at dinner in his usual royal fashion, and all hands report having had a way-up time. The Directors of the cannery on Monday afternoon advanced the price of stock from $10 to $11 per share. The enterprise has passed from the experimental stage, and is as great a success as its most pronounced advocates predicted for it at the outset. Further advances in the price of stock are likely before the season is over. On Friday last 130 hands were employed in the institution. A clue has been discovered that may throw some light upon the mysteriouus burning of the schoolhouse on Monday night of last week. A resident living near the schoolhouse heard some parties conversing in the street about 10 o'clock that evening, and the conversing-was again heard a short while before the fire alarm was rung in that night. It was evident by the sounds that two or perhaps three persons were talking. Their identity is as yet unknown. The officers have been appriseed of the circumstance and are deavoring to solve the mystery. Supervisor Thos. Morton of San Francisco, accompanied by Thos. W. Bethell, Sergeant of police, and F.G.B.

Messrs. Bethell and Mills accompanied him on a trip of observation through Southern California. The Chino sugar factory will this year, according to reports from that point, adopt a new system for sampling beets for the laboratory. Instead of selecting the samples, quartering them, grating and expressing the juice for the polariscope as heretofore, a machine has been installed for plugging each of the beets in the basket. The plugs extracted are ground and the juice extracted by what is called water digestion. It is said that this method is to be preferred to the old, as there is no selection of beets, where preference might be shown. The new plan is said 40 operate satisfactorily in Nebraska. Viet Bentz can guess the weight of a hog or a beef nearer than anybody in the county. The other day a party brought in a fat beef and offered it to Viet for sale. "Give you $28," says Viet. The offer was refused, the party preferring to have the critter weighed and take chances of getting more for it. The animal weighed 930 pounds, and at the market price of 3 cents, brought $27.90, 10 cents less than the price offered, and then all hands took a smile. Viet had guessed the weight within three pounds. Engineer Byers has been engaged during the week in putting up the new fire alarm system. Three alarm-boxes will be erected, one at the City Hall, one in front of Twomey & Mills, and the third opposite of Mr. Boege's residence, on West Center street.
