The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known in the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength and building up the constitution and assisting nature do its work. The proprietors have much faith in its curative powers, they offer One Hundred Dollars for case that it fails to cure. Send for list testimonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & CO. Toledo, O.

A Number of Able Papers Read, and Followed by Intelligent Discussion—Other Institutes to Be Held in the Fall, at Buena Park, Orange and "Gospel Swamp"—Mr. Chapman's Paper on Citrus Fruits—Plant Growth by Mr. Richman—Mr. McFadden Offers Some Suggestions on "Kicks." Wednesday evening's session of the Farmers' Institute held at Fullerton last week were very enthusiastic. Noticeable was the large number of ladies in attendance. The hall was crowded and standing room was at a premium. A few additional exhibits had been added to the collection during the recess between the afternoon and evening sessions as follows: C. C. Chapman—Lisbon lemons. Chas. Wagner—Neetarines. Robert Parker—Early Crawford peaches and French prunes. Theo. Staley—Valencia Late oranges. Blackberries, ground cherries, ground cherry preserves, summer squash, etc., were miscellaneously exhibited. Prof. Cook called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock. Proceedings were opened by two musical selections rendered by the Fullerton band. After the question box was opened and its contents answered, Mrs E. S. Richman read a paper on "Industrial Education for Our Girls," which was listened to with attention and appreciation. "Citrus Fruits," by C. C. Chapman, was next in order. Mr. Chapman handled his subject in a masterly manner the institutes and expressing their appreciation for the same. The resolution was unanimously adopted and the Secretary was directed to forward copies to the regents. C. C. Chapman introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. WHEREAS, We have had an unusually profitable institute, which we recognize is due to the management; therefore, be it. Resolved, That we publicly express our gratitude to Prof. Cook for his able leadership, as well as the valuable instruction given, and also for the presence of Prof. Wickson and Mr. Mills and the interesting talks given by these gentlemen. Be it further Resolved, That we earnestly request their return at the earliest period possible. A motion was made and carried to the effect that the fruit on exhibition be forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce at Los Angeles, where Fullerton has a department. The Institute then adjourned sine die. CITRUS FRUITS. BY C. C. CHAPMAN OF PLACENTIA. This is a comprehensive subject, the citrus family being large and varied, embracing the orange, lemon, lime, citron, bergamot, pomelo and shaddock. Each of these species are divided into numerous varieties; in some we are told there are as many as eighty different kinds. However, as the orange and lemon are the only members of this genus in which we are financially interested, I shall confine myself chiefly to them, attempting to be practical in the discussion. The culture of the orange and lemon is one of the most fascinating and at the same time, one of the most discouraging branches of agriculture, these fruits doubtless requiring more intelligence, closer and more constant attention than any other fruit grown for be marketed when in their prime it seems imperative that the St. Mary should be. The larger St. Michael comes from Island of St. Michael, one of the A group of islands off the coast of ugal. A party who had lived there known the fruit, on seeing some mens I had, said they wereIdea with the oranges grown there. The Valencia Lates, if properly imputed, may be depended upon only during the summer and early autumn. Although this season the marketed with nearly all varieties. This fine orange, a good bearer, though does not come in bearing as soon naval, and is a splendid keeper. Tarriff, which is grown at Riverside am told is the same orange. If no same variety it is very similar. If I were setting out an orchard twenty acres I believe I would find the different varieties in about the lowing proportion: Thompson's proved Navels, two acres; Washington Navels, eight; Malta Blood, one; St. Michaels, two; Valencia Lates Lisbon and Eureka or Villa Flemons, one acre each. This is only my idea, and based on the way I should expect to mark fruit. It may be better for those expect to put their crop into an assailion, or turn it over bodily to shipper, employing a promise-any-or-everything sort of an agent, to one variety straight—the Washin Naval. This would avoid annoy perhaps, and as the returns seem to be a factor in such transaction it would be easier all around. In cases the grower generally accords with a strange sort of gratitude, as though he felt that he was much ahead, what the shipper or policy of generosity may do him. As a matter of fact, there little else for him to do. The Pomelo and Shaddock are now of India and China, and were brought to the West Indies by Captain Shad Commander of a British man-o-mens They were early introduced into Florida where the trees for a long time only used for ornamental purposes.

The meeting was called to order on time and opened with music by the audience. The contents of the question box were then examined. Does less water make better peaches? Prof. Twombly answered, "Yes." F.R. Holcomb and Prof. Wickson said irrigate sufficiently. What is the best fertilizer for peach trees? Prof. Richman answered, "Cultivation." What is the best variety of peaches for the market? F.R. Holcomb answered, "The Elberta Cling," Prof. Cook gave his opinion that the Foster and George IV were the best. Frost was given as the reason for walnut limbs dying back, but no cause was known for the same condition in olive trees. Is the orange exchange worthy of support? This question was quietly though firmly discussed, there being a great diversity of opinion. C.H. Sessions of Los Angeles and Prot. E.F. Adams of San Francisco, who were present and took part in the discussion, said there is too much criticism connected with the management. Some stated that those outside of the exchange derived the direct benefits of such an organization. It was decided that if all the growers would join and take an interest the orange exchange would be beneficial, but otherwise its benefits were doubtful. Prof. Wickson next delivered an illustrated lecture on "The Importance of Form in Cattle." The Professor is an interesting as well as instructive talker and was listened to throughout with attention. His talk and illustration was confined chiefly to the following breeds: Hereford, Angus, Devon, Shorthorn, Red Palled, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Holstein. During the discussion it was developed that the Jersey and Guernsey were the most ground cherry preserves, summer squash, etc., were miscellaneously exhibited. Prof. Cook called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock. Proceedings were opened by two musical selections rendered by the Fullerton band. After the question box was opened and its contents answered, Mrs E.S. Richman read a paper on "Industrial Education for Our Girls," which was listened to with attention and appreciation. "Citrus Fruits," by C.C. Chapman, was next in order. Mr. Chapman handled his subject in a masterly manner and evoked much appreciation. Prof. Cook, followed by Mr. Benchley, publicly thanked him for his able contribution to the institute. In the discussion (which followed Mr. Benchley urged the orange growers to take more interest in their fruit. "Indifference in orange growing," said he, "is injurious to the whole community, and the man who neglects his grove is a public pest." Mr. Chapman further stated that he had been informed that a recent importation of foreign oranges had been disposed of in New York at a loss, and that oranges shipped from this county had brought a higher price than oranges shipped from any other portion of California. L.B. Benchley read a paper on "Walnut Culture." The discussion brought out the fact that walnut trees should be pruned. Prof. Cook said he noticed that there were three classes of farmers in California who wore a continual smile, viz.: The apple grower, the alfalfa grower and the walnut grower. After music by the band an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock Thursday morning. THURSDAY MORNING. The meeting was called to order on time and opened with music by the audience. The contents of the question box were then examined. Does less water make better peaches? Prof. Twombly answered, "Yes." F.R. Holcomb and Prof. Wickson said irrigate sufficiently.

Each of these species are divided into numerous varieties; in some we are told there are as many as eighty different kinds. However, as the orange and lemon are the only members of this genus in which we are financially interested, I shall confine myself chiefly to them, attempting to be practical in the discussion. The culture of the orange and lemon is one of the most fascinating and at the same time, one of the most discouraging branches of agriculture, these fruits doubtless requiring more intelligence, closer and more constant attention than any other fruit grown for profit in this country. This is accounted for in part by the great length of time required to mature them, the numerous and persistent enemies which prey upon them, their delicate and susceptible nature, the large money value represented and the natural interest arising from watching the ever-changing phenomena incident to their development to a high state of beauty, succulency and usefulness. The orange, scientifically speaking, is a berry. The pulp, the membranes of which separate its various sections, and the skin, are only a thickening of the seed vessels. Its natural office therefore, is to produce seed. The original varieties, the bitter orange and the sweet, or China orange, are quite distinct in many respects; but by cultivation, hybridizing and budding with each other, and the citron and lemon, we have the orange in its present condition, which for beauty, delicacy of flavor and wholesomeness as an article of diet is without a peer in the fruit world. The orange has been cultivated for many centuries in Europe, having been brought into Western Asia from India, and then into Europe at a very early period. Some trees have attained great age and enormous bearing capacity. Some are recorded as being 600 or 700 years old, and trees have borne as many as twenty-five to thirty thousand oranges. In Florida trees have been known to bear twenty thousand oranges. We need not expect our budded trees to compare (either in age or yield) with these specimens, which were seedlings. The age to which they will attain will depend largely upon the care given them. The orange was introduced into California about year 1800 by Catholic missionaries. The first trees to come into bearing were at San Gabriel Mission. It is difficult for us of this day of low prices, to comprehend the fabulous returns some of the earliest groves brought their owners. Don Louis Wolfskill, the pioneer in the business of orange culture here, had twenty-eight acres which brought him $25,000 for one crop. Col. Wilson, another pioneer, got $1800 from a single acre. E.P. Stacy of Minneapolis told me that about ten years ago he remitted to a grower $2100 for a car of St. Michaels. How great the change! The general average now being from $100 to $400. VARIETIES. Citrus fruit growers are supposed to be in the business for the money there is in it. While orange culture is fascinating, yet few men are undergoing all the disappointments and annoyance incidental to the business these days for the little pleasure they may derive from it. It is profit rather than pleasure that is the incentive to most growers. It is essential, therefore, that those varieties that produce the most profit be grown. There is some question as to what these are; indeed, this has undergone some radical changes One variety straight—the Washin Naval. This would avoid annoys perhaps, and as the returns seem to be a factor in such transactions it would be easier all around. In cases the grower generally acquires with a strange sort of gratitude, as though he felt that he was just ahead, what the shipper's policy of generosity may dole him. As a matter of fact, this little else for him to do. The Pomelo and Shaddock are made up of India and China, and were brought to the West Indies by Captain Shad.Commander of a British man-Owner they were early introduced into Florida where the trees for a long time only used for ornamental purposes present popular name of grape fruit given by the colored people of Florida because the fruit has a tender hang in clusters, and they having gotten their real names. The fruit as we have it to-day has greatly improved by a crossfection and cultivation. In California have the Florida seedling, Wise Lessless, the Triumph and some varieties. Mr. Philip Ruhlman, who introduced grape fruit into the New York market said to me that he regarded our formia fruit as inferior to that grape Florida, which was better than grown in the West Indies. He seemed to doubt that it would prove remunerative to California ers. The demand will always be bad, I believe, and the market easily overstocked. However I can overcome any inferiority out trouble. California never second place long. The tree is a grower, an early and heavy bear even more hardy than the one The fruit is said to be a specie cure of dyssepsia rheumatism ney trouble and malaria. MANAGEMENT. I shall touch briefly only two points in the care of an orchard: live there is scarceely one other that would exert as favorable an ence on the quality of an orchard cultivation, and perhaps there other part of orchard work not generally so indifferently done implement to do work proper may not always be at hand; they operate it intelligently and how is likewise difficult to employ; are several reasons why greater cultivation should be given to citrus cultivation which I will not take up upon them two points; however it is greatly improved quality fruit secured by proper cultivation will unquestionably produce a small orange, with more syrup and flavor; and these are points which should strive to attain. Vigorous vation at the time the fruit is will insure a larger crop neglected at this critical period; vate often; cultivate deep; cultivate proper time after irrigation. I find some orchardists who want pruning shears very sparingly; in claiming that nature is her own guide.Nature is blamed for a many things with which she has to do.She is like we ought however.She endeavors with energy to make most of them in particuliarly sad to me her struggling blindly in way,and no intelligent hand put to assist or direct her.By intention breeding a higher grade of straw produced.By intelligent cultivates multitudes of fruits and flowers been developed from nature's productions to a state of beauty succeuency.

A committee consisting of A.D.Bishop of Orange as chairman;Dr.Head of Garden Grove, L.B. Benchleyof Fullerton and Commissioner Rafteryof Santa Ana, was appointed to arrangeplaces of meeting for the cominginstitutes in this county. The committeelater reported Orange, Buena Parkand Newport school house, or "GospelSwamp," as the places decided upon. A recess was then taken until 1:30p.m. AFTERNOON SESSION. On reassembling in the afternoon,the question box brought out the statement that walnut disease was not socommon this year as last. A paper by Prof. R.H.Loughridgeof Berkeley, entitled "Conservationof Moisture" was read and muchappreciated. E.S.Richman read a paper on"Plant Growth." Mr. Richman showed familiarity ofhis subject and it proved veryinteresting. Among the most able papers read atthe Institute was one entitled,"TheWalnut Industry," by Frank E.Kelloggof Goleta. Mr. Kellogg wrotefrom personal knowledge, inasmuch as hisfather has the distinction of plantingthe first walnuts in California. The discussion which followed broughtout the fact that irrigation is a goodhulling machine, and also to plant twoor three year old trees in Marchbrought the quickest returns. Prof.Cook, who is interested under all conditions,provided far more so in deliveringhis illustrated talk on "Insects." After Prof.Cook's lecture E.S.Richman introduced a resolution to beforwarded to the regents of the universityof California urging them to continue Citrus fruit growers are supposedto be in the business for the money thereis in it. While orange culture is fascinating,yet few men are undergoingall the disappointments and annoyanceincidental to the business these daysfor the little pleasure they may derive from it. It is profit rather than pleasurethat is the incentive to most growers. It is essential, therefore,that those varieties that produce the mostprofit be grown. There is some questionas to what these are; indeed,this has undergone some radical changesduring recent years. The Washington Navel is the universalfavorite with growers and shippers,and one is safe in growing this fruit,for if not contaminated and when freefrom scale, and smooth, it will finda ready market in its season,which extends from about January 1st to May15th. It has recently lost muchin favor, however, by shippers puttingit on the market before it was ripe. I regard as absolutely perennis thisgrowing custom of shipping unripeoranges. It is serious,and California pays enormous interest on the moneygotten for these early shipments. We lost six weeks of our best marketingseason this year, as an offset forthe few hundred cars of green frit forcedupon the unsophisticated citizens of theEast. I predict that shippers and dealerswill not again be so easily led intobuying so heavily of this stock. The Thompson improved Navalismuch sought for in the larger markets,and on account of its smoothness andbeauty commands higher prices thanthe Washington. This tells me thatthe nearer we approach these qualitieswith our Washington Naval,the moresatisfactory will be the returns.Whether we can produce the Thompsonin its ideal form on our heaviersoil I cannot say, or how pure the stockis that some orchardists have recentlyput out, remains to be seen.. I predict that much of it will prove to be a fairgrade of Washington Naval. Either the Malta or Ruby Bloodoranges, in limited quantities,willgenerally find a ready market at fairprices. The Maltese is a regular andheavy bearer. The St.Michael is a good bearer,andI believe will grow in favor.To an extentit will supply the place of the lateseedling. I find two varieties of theSt.Michael. What is known as thePaper Kind, I would shun. The tree ismore of a dwarf. The fruit is smallerand more inclined to drop thanthe other variety, which even with it,is a serious weakness. All oranges shouldpruning shears very sparingly,iainformation in which she finds herselfis particularly sad to me therestruggling blindly inway,and no intelligent handpuppetto assist or direct her.

A recess was then taken until 1:30p.m. AFTERNOON SESSION. On reassembling in the afternoon,the questionnaire that walnut disease was not socommon this year as last. A paper by Prof. R.H.Loughridgeof Berkeley, entitled "Conservationof Moisture" was read and muchappreciated. E.S.Richman read a paper on"Plant Growth." Mr. Richman showed familiarity ofhis subject and it proved veryinteresting. Among the most able papers read atthe Institute was one entitled,"TheWalnut Industry," by Frank E.Kelloggof Goleta. Mr.Kellogg wrote frompersonal knowledge，inasmuchas hisfather has the distinction ofplantingthe first walnuts in California. The discussion which followed broughtout the fact that irrigation is a goodhulling machine,and also to plant twoor three year old trees in Marchbrought the quickest returns. Prof.Cook，who is interested under all conditions,provided far more so in deliveringhis illustrated talk on "Insects." After Prof.Cook's lecture E.S.Richman introduced a resolution to beforwarded to the regents of the universityof California urging them to continue Citrus fruit growers are supposedto be in the business for the money thereis in it. While orange culture is fascinating,yet few men are undergoingall the disappointments and annoyanceincidental to the business these daysfor the little pleasure they may derive from account,and on account of its smoothness andbeauty commands higher prices thanthe Washington.

I predict that much of it will prove to be a fairgrade of Washington Naval. Either the Malta or Ruby Bloodoranges，in limited quantities，willgenerally find a ready market at fairprices.

Gazette. TIT 11, 1898. NUMBER 42 It is imperative that trees should be kept free from scale. You cannot afford to grow scale, either red, black or purple, however prolific they may be, and you will not find them slow in multiplying. Fumigation, if properly done, will destroy the scale, at least most of it, without injury to either fruit or tree. My observation and experience with both spraying and fumigating is that the latter is the only process to rely on with any degree of confidence. Do not go to sleep thinking that the sun will kill them in some way and that they will die out or leave you. They have no such idea. Go to work and kill them with hydrocyanic acid gas. This must be done until their natural enemies are discovered and they will be, for they exist. Your fruit will find a readier market, bring more money, save washing, and afford you a degree of satisfaction that you never experienced with dirty stuff. The red spider appears to be a more serious pest than one would at first suppose. It seems to subsist largely upon the rind of the orange, thus preventing its growth. I am told that simply spraying with water will kill it. Fuller’s rose beetle, or as some call it, the Florida Orange Dog, is a ravenous feeder on the tender growth of young trees, and should be stamped out wherever manifested, for the damage it can do in a growing orchard is appalling. These may be shaken off into a sheet spread beneath the tree, or into a bucket containing water or kerosene. I think it is essential to keep the soil enriched. Not too heavily, for then the fruit is liable to be coarse, but by frequent light applications of some kind of fertilizer. This is one of the annual expenses that seems to be incurred largely through faith, or a vague hope that it is going to do some good, or it may be that you are simply talked into using some “straight goods” by a fertilizer agent. I know but little about fertilizers; indeed, I regard their use as largely experimental. Too many unknown conditions to contend with, and then one has little knowledge, generally, of just what is being used. On the Santa Isabel ranch we have used commercial ferments when in their prime, but seems imperative that the St. Michael would be. Valencia Lates, if properly managed, may be depended upon to supply limited demand for oranges during the summer and early autumn. Though this season the market is filled with nearly all varieties. This is a orange, a good bearer, though it not come in bearing as soon as the valencia, and is a splendid keeper. Hart’s drift, which is grown at Riverside, I hold not the same orange. If not the variety it is very similar. I were setting out an orchard of thirty acres I believe I would select different varieties in about the following proportion: Thompson’s Immed Navels, two acres; Washington Melts, eight; Malta Blood, one; large Michaels, two; Valencia Lates, five; Moon and Eureka or Villa Franke tons, one acre each. This is only my idea, and based upon way I should expect to market the crop. It may be better for those who direct to put their crop into an associataction, or turn it over bodily to some person employing a promise-anthing-everything sort of an agent, to grow variety straight—the Washington Mall. This would avoid annoyance, snaps, and as the returns seldom come to be a factor in such transactions, should be easier all around. In such cases the grower generally accepts an strange sort of gratitude, quite enough he felt that he was just so ahead, what the shipper in his capacity of generosity may do out to him. As a matter of fact, there is no else for him to do. The Pomelo and Shaddock are natives of India and China, and were brought by West Indies by Captain Shaddock, commander of a British man-of-war. They were early introduced into Florida where the trees for a long time were used for ornamental purposes. The snaps are imperative that the St. Michael would be. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Dimes have been pouring into the navy department from patriotic Americans who want to build a battleship to replace the Maine. Somebody started an endless chain to this end, and Secretary Long is doing his best to break the chain. To such of the contributors as give their address he is returning the money with a note informing them that he has no authority under the law to receive it, and that the object seems to be otherwise provided for, as congress has specifically appropriated money for the construction of another battleship to be known as the Maine. The Merritt-Chapman Wrecking company has informed the navy department that the wreckers have succeeded in floating the Maria Teresa and are right her under her own skull. The navy has nothing to do with this voyage, the wreckers have contracted to deliver all of the vessels of Cervera’s fleet that might be recovered at Santiago. It is fully expected at the navy department that the Maria Teresa will require very extensive repairs, having suffered not only from shot, shell and fire, but from a month’s submersion in the quickly foiling water of South Cuba, also. However, the repairs will certainly be made, for the sentimental reason alone is strong enough to warrant the expenditure of money enough to put the ship into serviceable condition. One of the most daring and successful bank robberies ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried out by six robbers at Richland, in that State Friday. Some of the robbers came from the East on a hand-car, and evidently had confederates with a horse and carriage. They secured about $3000 in cash from the Union Bank and $4600 in notes. The horse and carriage was taken into Augusta and left there. There were three explosions which awakened many people. Alvy Barnes, an old man who lived near the bank, was ordered into the house with a threat that they would shoot him. George Robson and Ed Barrett saw the robbers but did not molest them. The safe was a complete wreck, nitro glycerine being used to MANAGEMENT. Shall touch briefly only the salient acts in the care of an orchard. I believe there is scarcely one other thing that would exert as favorable an influence on the quality of an orange asivation, and perhaps there is no other part of orchard work that is generally so indifferently done. The element to do the work properly may not always be at hand, the man to operate it intelligently and honestly, likewise difficult to employ. There are several reasons why greater attention should be given to citrus fruit cultivation, which I will not take time mention. I will attempt to impress them two points, however. One greatly improved quality of the fruit secured by proper cultivation. It unquestionably produce a smoother orange, with more syrup and better flavor, and these are points which we could strive to attain. Vigorous cultivation at the time the fruit is setting in insure a larger crop than if selected at this critical period. Cultivate often, cultivate deep, cultivate at proper time after irrigation. Find some orchardists who use the timing shears very sparingly, if fathal, knowing that nature is her own best idea. Nature is blamed for a good many things with which she has little to do. She is like we ought to be, however. She endeavors with all her energy to make the most of the conditions in which she finds herself. It particularly sad to me to see struggling blindly in this city, and no intelligent hand put forth assist or direct her. By intelligent feeding a higher grade of stock is introduced. By intelligent cultivation attitudes of fruits and flowers have been developed from nature's crude reductions to a state of beauty and culinary training must be intelligently done, never cutting without a reason. You think it is essential to keep the soil enriched. Not too heavily, for then the fruit is liable to be coarse, but by frequent light applications of some kind of fertilizer. This is one of the annual expenses that seems to be incurred largely through faith, or a vague hope that it is going to do some good, or it may be that you are simply talked into using some "straight goods" by a fertilizer agent. I know but little about fertilizers; indeed, I regard their use as largely experimental. Too many unknown conditions to contend with, and then one has little knowledge, generally, of just what is being used. On the Santa Isabel ranch we have used commercial fertilizer, bone meal, lime cake, wood ashes, sheep fertilizer and barn-yard manure; with what success I am unable to say. I would not recommend the latter only for soil badly run down, or lime cake for other than heavy soil. I do not know as I care to express a preference further, but I would keep doing something. More or less benefit is derived from any of them. I received a letter from E. T. Earl last winter, who wanted to know what fertilizer we used on the Santa Isabel ranch, as he had not seen so heavy a crop in California as on a portion of the orchard. He was interested in a grove, and wanted to use the fertilizer that had proven so satisfactory, and further asking what I could recommend. I will say that this particular part of the orchard never had other than a light dressing of sheep manure. I would not recommend a constant use of this, however; indeed, I do not know but the heavy crop alluded to was really due to other conditions. I was therefore unable to give a definite answer to the inquiry. The question of irrigation is an important one. Water costs money and it is an expense to care for it. We therefore must put all the water we buy where it is needed with as little loss and with the least possible labor. Flumes, either cement or wood, should be constructed, or pipe-lines laid, and then practice furrow irrigation. This in my opinion, is much better than the block or form method. By it water is carried deeper into the soil, less loss by evaporation, keeps water from contact with the trees, ground easier prepared, left in better condition for cultivation and is less expensive. Do not wait till your trees need water; give it to them before they get in that condition. Drive the water as far into the ground as possible; make a point of this. There was universal complaint the past season among the citrus fruit growers and shippers about the over-stocked condition of the orange market. This in some respects was well founded. Some markets will at times be glutted. This is unavoidable under the present methods of shipping. I can however, with equal propriety apply to our business the same argument Rufus Chote made with reference to his when asked, whether or not, owing to the over-crowded state of the legal profession, he could recommend a young man to enter it: "There is plenty of room" said he "in the upper story." So I can say that there is room, if not plenty, yet room in the Eastern market for high grade fruit. Good fruit, like the first class article of any kind, will always meet with a readier sale than the poorer grade, and generally at a much higher price. As you advance in quality of your customers, you will be able to increase the price at even a greater ratio. For instance, a box of poor oranges, 150s, might sell in New York for $1 50 or $2. This would go to the peddler or a dealer who had indifferent trade, and would retail for fifteen or twenty-five cents per dozen. This trade would not pay one of the most daring and successful bank robberies ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried out by six robbers at Richland, in that State Friday. Some of the robbers came from the East on a hand-car, and evidently had confederates with a horse and carriage. They secured about $5000 in cash from the Union Bank and $4600 in notes. The horse and carriage was taken into Augusta and left there. There were three explosions which awakened many people. Alvy Barnes, an old man who lived near the bank, was ordered into the house with a threat that they would shoot him. George Robson and Ed Barrett saw the robbers but did not molest them. The safe was a complete wreck, nitro glycerine being used to open it. The inside doors were blown ten feet out into the office and pieces went through the plate glass front twenty feet distant. The chisels and other tools were left behind. The hand-car was disabled so that it could not be used to pursue the robbers. Officers have been informed that a man was seen between Augusta and Battle Creek, walking on the railroad track carrying a large satchel and also a winchester rifle. No one who saw him dared to make a move to arrest him. Officers are in pursuit. Lieut. Hobson has been the hero of Long Beach. All the guests of the hotel assembled in the parlor's when it was learned that Lieut. Hobson was to be at Long Beach. Some one started a popular subscription for a testimonial to him, and it was unanimously agreed that a sword would be the proper thing. In a short time $300 was in the hands of the treasurer. The committee appointed to meet the Lieutenant in New York and escort him to Long Beach purchased the sword for $275. It is heavily laid with gold over handle and blade, and interlined with embossed silver. It was presented to the lieutenant after dinner, before the guests who crowded in the parlors and ballrooms, and made the walls shake with their cheers. Lieut. Hobson received the sword cheerfully, and said: "It is with the profoundest emotion that I receive and accept this beautiful token spontaneously offered by this generous group. I cannot adequately express my appreciation and thanks. I have only to say as long as my career shall continue, this emblem shall be dearly cherished, and shall recall this occasion. When perhaps I am far away and occasion may arise to use this sword, I cannot but feel that the thought of this occasion will inspire its use for my country's honor. I have to beg of you that you recall this simple, absolute fact—that the little incident at the front indicates nothing but only the status of your sailors afloat." The following correspondence which has passed between Col. Roosevelt and Secretary Alger, has furnished an interesting sidelight to the campaign at Santiago: "SANTIAGO, July 23, 1898.-My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am writing with the knowledge and approval of General Wheeler. "We earnestly hope that you will send us—most of the regulars, and at any rate the cavalry division, including the Rough Riders, who are as good as any regulars and three times as good as any State troops—to Porto Rico. There are 1800 effective men in this division; if those who were left behind were joined to them we could land at Porto Rico, in this cavalry division, close to 4000 men, who would be worth easily any 10,000 National Guards armed with black powder Springfields or other archaic weapons. Very respectfully. "TheODORE ROOSEVELT." The following reply was cabled to Col. Roosevelt: "Your letter of the 23d is received." Nature is blamed for a good many things with which she has little to do. She is like we ought to be, however. She endeavors with all her energy to make the most of the conditions in which she finds herself. It particularly sad to me to see her struggling blindly in this city, and no intelligent hand put forth to assist or direct her. By intelligent feeding a higher grade of stock is produced. By intelligent cultivation attitudes of fruits and flowers have been developed from nature's crude productions to a state of beauty and excellency. Drumming must be intelligently done, never cutting without a reason. You must have a knowledge of the natural weaknesses and tendencies of the vampy you are pruning, and a well designed object in your mind as to what desire to obtain. Growing lemon trees should be pruned heavily, making skaly tree and forcing it to fruit on inside. Do not prune later than September. As soon as we learn how to care for cure lemons they will be profitable. We will have but little trouble with the market. A New York fruit dealer told me that if California lemons were grown on the market in proper condition house alone could shut out foreign imports from that city. There is a lighter future for this lemon. In most sections of California an ordinance must be constantly on the list to keep from being damaged by insects of one kind or another. These insects are: gopher, squirrel, jackrabbit, the red, black and purple scale, the spider and Fuller's rose beetle. The gum disease also works serious damage. It requires constant vigilance to keep the orchard free from such annoyances. The gopher and jackrabbit do their work quickly. Finally if the soil is replaced around roots and the tree irrigated vigorously and cut back it will recover. The red scale not only damages the citrus, but will kill the tree in a very short time if permitted to have free access. The black scale, the most common pest, is more of an enemy than any growers seem to regard it, though I am gratified to note the demination manifested to stamp it. The purple scale is not so common, it is also to be dreaded. These pests only soil the fruit so that it is necessary to wash it, but destroy all the finer qualities of the orange, leaving only coarser and more fibrous parts. Always remember that the more delicate portion of the fruit is the first to succumb. It is upon this the scale first used. It is impossible to produce fine fruit and grow scale on the same tree.
