OLIVE CULTURE. Paper Read by Geo. B. Bixby at the University Farmers' Institute at Villa Park. Although the olive in this State is one of the newest of all the fruit industries attracting any considerable attention as a commercial article, it was introduced on the Coast by the Jesuit missionaries as early as any fruit we have a record of, and it seems strange that it should not have received more attention from the earlier fruit growers. The fact that the olive for centuries has been one of the chief sources of both food and revenue in the countries along the Mediterranean coast, and the large amount of oil and pickles imported by this country should have encouraged more extensive trials in the very beginning of the fruit industry. The trees growing at the old missions and in the gardens of the Mexican ranchos give ample evidence of their adaptation to our soil and climate. The years of neglect following the downfall of the Jesuit missions caused the crops of fruit to be light and irregular, but that the trees lived and bore any fruit at all under such trying conditions proved the olive to be one of the hardest and most drouth-resisting of fruit trees. Although the tree will live and occasionally bear some fruit on extremely poor land, still, like any other fruit tree, to produce even fair crops year after year, there must be substance enough in the soil to furnish an abundance of the properties required, not only for the formation of the fruit, but also of wood for the fruit to grow on, besides moisture enough to permit the roots to feed upon and utilize these properties. The soil is said to be produced from or by the atmosphere, but the solid matter must come from the soil, so if these properties are not in the soil, or not in a condition for the tree to utilize them, it cannot bear fruit. A cow can live for some time on the hills back here with nothing to eat but sage brush, but, if your family were to depend on that cow for their milk and butter supply; I am afraid the children would take many a lunch to school without butter on their bread. Of this I know whereof I speak. The best authorities on the subject agree that we we Central and Southern California have a monopoly in the olive lands of the United States, for the olive does not generally succeed when far removed from the coast, and it was tried in the South Atlantic and Gulf states a century ago, but did not prove successful there. It is a tree that loves sunshine, and will not thrive without it, consequently in hilly sections it must have a southerly exposure to secure the best results, and north slopes, so desired. Not feeling satisfied with results obtained by our neighbors with the Mission trees, we chose two varieties noted for early bearing, heavy crops of fruit, and ability to resist drought, and at the same time keep up the quality and high per cent of oil. These were the Columella and Rubra. We also planted quite a number of Neradillo Blanco. Besides these we set out six other varieties, namely: Mission Manzanello, Pendulina, Oblonga and Uraria and Regalis. The latter proved to be identical with the Columella. The orchards were planted on three distinct classes of soil; sandy loam formed by wash from the hills, yellow clayey loam on a bench of the hill and black adobe on part of the same bench. We put some trees of each variety on the different kinds of soil. The second year the Columella, Rabia, Pendulina, Oblonga and Uraria showed fruit on the clay, but not on the other soils. The trees on the sandy loams and adobe made much the larger growth. At three years all had some fruit except the Manzanello and Neradillo. The fourth season all varieties were heavily loaded except the Mission, with a fair crop and the Neradillos with only one-half a crop on the best trees. The fruit was much larger on the lower lands, consequently better for pickles, but in all cases the clayey mesas gave the most oil. In October, 1896, I sent samples of six varieties to the University of California for analysis. The samples of Columella, with its 28 10-100 per cent, and the Rubla with its 26 14-100 per cent oil in the whole fruit, was the highest per centage for these varieties in the State. The Pendulina 28 per cent and Oblonga 21 60-100 per cent were only beaten by one sample in each class, being 6 85-109 and 8 25-100 per cent respectively higher than the average. Not a bad showing for the hill soil of this vicinity. Having once started in with olives, I wished to have the very best, so I secured trees from Mr. Loup, Mr. Calkins of Pomona and Mr. Roeding of Fresno. These included nearly all the latest importations for both pickling and oil. I now have set in the orchards between fifty-five and sixty varieties. Most of the Italian oil olives proved to be very rapid growers. Some reached twelve feet in height and bore quite a crop the third year. The Ascolano and Sevilliano both bore that season. It was the finest looking fruit I ever saw. Last year the olive crop of the entire state being a failure we fared no better than others. The hot north wind that came when the trees were in heavy bloom seemed to cook the blossoms and setting fruit. Notwithstanding dry season our trees made a fair growth and did not seem to suffer for lack of moisture, although they have never been irrigated. The causes for their standing the season so well are two: First, the deep winter plowing and for the plaintiff, and W. F. Hahn defendant.

Of this I know whereof I speak. The best authorities on the subject agree that we of Central and Southern California have a monopoly in the olive lands of the United States, for the olive does not generally succeed when far removed from the coast, and it was tried in the South Atlantic and Gulf states a century ago, but did not prove successful there. It is a tree that loves sunshine, and will not thrive without it, consequently in hilly sections it must have a southerly exposure to secure the best results, and north slopes, no matter how good the soil, are not at all suited to olive culture. Neither do olives do well on cold damp ground, nor where the underlying water comes within a few feet of the surface of the ground. As nearly as I can learn from reading upon the subject and from talks with Mr. Loup and others who have traveled extensively in Southern Europe and made a special study of the olive, this little corner of the world, Villa Park, and the foothills to north and south of us, is about as well situated for the cultivation of that fruit as one could find in many a long search; just far enough from the coast to escape the chill, raw winds of fall and winter and the heavy fogs of early spring, yet so near that you may gaze out over the broad old ocean and receive its tempering influence over the burning heat of summer and the chilling frosts of winter. With our black gravel valley lands that formerly had such a high reputation for the production of the raisin grape, the sloping land of deep sandy loam, washed from the hills from centuries of rain, the adobe hillsides with the rich black soil and our clayey loam mesas, where the olive gives the largest per cent of high grade oil. Now that we have found an ideal place, what varieties shall we plant? is the all-important question, and one I will not attempt to answer. I think it is a question for each planter to answer for himself, after careful consideration of his own peculiar conditions, soil, water, and the object in view, that is for what purpose the fruit is to be used, whether pickles or oil. He must bear in mind that the olive that gives the best results in one locality, even but a short distance away, may not prove satisfactory, also one doing well-on a certain kind of soil may be a total failure on the same ranch in another soil and exposure. Right here let me impress one fact on your minds; never choose a variety to plant because it is cheaper or more easily secured that some other. There is just as much difference in olives as in any other kind of fruit. You would not think for a minute of planting an orchard of Tangerine oranges, for the same reasons, when the conditions would justify planting Washington navels. If you wish a pickling olive you do not want Huff's Spanish with its 127 olives to 100 grains weight when the Seriliano takes but 6 berries to weigh the same. On the other hand, if an oil olive is desired, you would surely prefer some of the Italian oil varieties, some of which average nearly 40 per cent oil in their flesh with a maximum of 47 20-100 per cent, to the large fruited Ascolano with an average of only 17 65-100 per cent of oil. When we planted our first orchard six years ago oil production was the principal object, but we also wished some fruit that would be suitable for pickling if CASTORIA For Infants and Children The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Castoria Court Notes.

Last year the olive crop of the entire state being a failure we fared no better than others. The hot north wind that came when the trees were in heavy bloom seemed to cook the blossoms and setting fruit. Notwithstanding the dry season our trees made a fair growth and did not seem to suffer for lack of moisture, although they have never been irrigated. The causes for their standing the season so well are two: First, the deep winter plowing and thorough summer cultivation which not only prevented evaporation but enabled the soil to hold what water had fallen in previous seasons instead of allowing any to run off. Our land not being rocky, this was stored deep down in the soil ready to be used as occasion required. The deep plowing also forced the roots down to where the moisture remained. Secondly, our trees had been pruned very little, so had a large amount of foliage and correspondingly large root systems, which enabled them to draw on the reserved moisture. When we found it was to be a dry year we cut the trees back very heavily and thinned out the inside. By cutting off all surplus foliage we prevented as much as possible the evaporation through the leaves during the heat of the summer, thus keeping the trees in good condition. A great many of the new varieties are putting out fruit stems now for the first time, so after a few good wet seasons I hope to be better able to tell what kinds succeed best under our conditions. So far I have only commenced to mention the important features of olive culture, such subjects as propagation, planting, pruning, cross cultivation, picking, and handling the fruit, pickling, oil and its future, adulterations of imported oils, olives as a food and a substitute for meat, the necessity of pure food laws and their enforcement. I must leave to those who are better informed on the subject. CASTORIA For Infants and Children The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Castoria Court Notes.

WAYS OF THE BLUE CREEK Some of Its Feenularities as Observe New York's Aquarium. While the blue crab is not commonly thought of as a swimmer and does fast spend the greater part of it on the bottom, yet it can very sustain itself in the water and swim a very fair rate of speed. It swims wise, and when swimming it can one big claw thrown forward and back at the middle joint make point projecting at that end body while the other big claws straight out astern. If it changes position it crooks the claw it had been crying straight and lets other free. If it sustains itself in the without progressing, it carries claws in front of itself as it would urally do under ordinary circlums on the bottom, but it has kept little claws in motion to sustain it and swimming the little claws kept actively at work. Besides m a good degree of progress through water in swimming the blue creek change its course or swim to a lower level with facility frightened, the blue crab moves o'ways but when moving about at undisturbed it may move swift forward. Its body may be inclined any angle to the line of progress its motion still be forward; these carried crooked around it May be seen moving thus in larger tanks at the aquarium which there are blue crabs lobtote other things.

It is true that many women are compelled to look forward to times when they are unable to attend to social or business duties. Their appearance plainly indicates their condition and they are reluctant to be seen, even by their friends. Read what a business woman says to such sufferers: Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, 58 Farrar Street, Detroit, Mich., says: "A complication of female alliments kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. My young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I bought them and was able to eat at night for the first time in months. I bought more and they guarded me as they also cured several other people to my knowledge. I think that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit, who are the best buyers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they would say the young women. These pills certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them. As a business woman I am pleased to recommend them as they did more for me than any physician and I can give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People credit for my general good health to-day."

Thinning with the shears by cutting out spurs of short bearing shoots, or even shortening in long limbs, cutting away to a lateral when possible, is of no appreciable injury to the tree. Many people have gained the impression that the shears are only for winter use on the deciduous tree. This is a mistake. On some accounts cutting during the growing season is really kinder to the tree, and in some parts of the State this may have to be done considerably this year to save the trees from evaporation which their roots cannot compensate. It is perfectly safe, and this year particularly very practical, to be a little Micawber-like and see what will turn up, being ready to thin both with the shears and by hand as well, if it becomes necessary, in order to reduce the burden of the tree to what is commercially most promising, or what the life and strength of the tree may require.—Pacific Rural Press.

Not So Noble In Character as the Story Writers Picture Him. "I have read a good many stories," said the city man, "about the honest newsboy who chases a man three blocks to return the $5 goldpiece given in mistake for a nickel, the sympathetic bootblack who protects the widow's son, or the heroine street gamin who gets run over by a dray while rescuing another boy and murmura." Is Jimmy all right?" and then dies. I have come to the conclusion that these stories are written by girls fresh from school or refined old maids who live in a village, and they are read by men who thoughtfully stick the tongue into the cheek while reading. Yet there are men who read and believe. "I saw one of this class the other day who went to the rescue of a boothk who was trying to fix his broken box." "My lad," said the good man—they always call them 'lads' in these stories—'you are in trouble. Let me assist you." "Then he knelt on the sidewalk in his good clothes, used a half brick for a hammer, raked up some twine from his pocket and after 15 minutes' hard work made a creditable job. Meanwhile about 30 street boys gathered around. One slipped a piece of old iron into his pocket, the grateful bootblack with a bit of chalk decorated his back with a hideous caricature, his hat was knocked into the gatter as he arose, and one of the boys accused him of stealing a 'dabber.'" "The man flushed with natural indignation, and immediately there arose a whoop of derision, and as he strode away he was gayed by the whole crowd for two blocks. While in this frame of mind it would have done him good to have interviewed some of the ladies who write the pictureque tales about the imaginary street boya."—Chicago Times-Herald.

Even after tea was introduced into Europe and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced; but, apart from Constantinople, the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 1645 in Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in London and 1694 in Leipsc. From the first, however, the conventional oriental coffee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and in Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Specimens of porcelain were undoubtedly introduced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth century were cups imported from China in any great quantities, and even then it was as articles of vertu. Most of those found their way back into China again, as collecting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices are paid for good specimens. The collection of Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires immense study and knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifications on the market. Individual Odors. Every human being has a specific odor of his own, according to A. Bethe in the Archiv der Gesammten Physiologie, by which he can be recognized not merely by dogs but by persons with sensitive organs of smell. The case is mentioned of a man who blindfolded could pick out each individual in a company of 20 by his odor. The smell is not born with us, but develops gradually till the age of puberty, after which it remains unchanged. Members of a family have a kind of common odor, which persists even when they have lived apart for a long time. The entire area of the United States is placed at 1,885,017,692 acres, of which 741,702,365 acres are now owned by individuals or by corporations or states or have passed out of the control of the general government.

WILE REPTILES THAT INFEST THE WATER OF THE PHILIPPINES. The Venom of These Serpents Is More Fatal Than That of the Cobra and a Mere Scratch From Their Fangs Will Produce Serious Results. Not only do various reptiles and other neer creatures abound in the forests and swamps of the Philippines, but the surrounding water of these interesting islands team with veritable sea serpents. These strange creatures, which pass their entire existence in the water, possess deadly fangs. They are a great menace to the fishermen, who are constantly exposed to their attacks. Technically speaking, science has named the group the Hydrophidae. They differ from the terrestrial snakes only in the possession of a flat, paddle-like tail. These reptiles inhabit the tropical seas of the old world and occasionally attain a length of 8 feet. Dr. Studolph Weber, professor of drawing at Princeton university, observed large numbers of these creatures while on a steamer bound for Sumatra. Dr. Weber was in charge of a scientific expedition and naturally took special notice of them. He says that when the vessel was some 50 miles off the coast myriads of sea snakes could be seen swimming about as far as the eye could reach. They kept upon the surface, and several distinct species were recognized among them. During calm weather these reptiles may be seen sunning themselves upon the surface of the sea, remaining motionless except for a slight undulation caused by the movement of the water. When alarmed, the agile reptiles dive like arrows, leaving a train of bubbles behind them. Some species are extremely brilliant in coloration, being bright yellow, banded with black, while others are tinted with delicate shades of green. The food of sea snakes consists entirely of fishes. Frequently fishes armed with long sharp spines fall victims to their appetites. Among these are the opogous and alluroids, which are furnished with spines three and five inches long. But these do not embarrass the voracious reptile in the least. The victim is first killed by the snake's poison, after which it is swallowed head first. The spines, naturally pointing toward the tail of the victim, and being relaxed in death, are compressed against the body of the fish as deglutition proceeds. While in search of their prey, sea snakes sometimes venture a short distance. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Cha H. Flitchor.

Broadway, Los Angeles Cal., Telephone—236. No.316 Montgomery St., San Francisco, Cal., The food of sea snakes consists entirely of fishes. Frequently fishes armed with long sharp spines fall victims to their appetites. Among these are the apogous and siluroids, which are fur-filled with spines three and five inches long. But these do not embarrass the voracious reptile in the least. The victim is first killed by the snake's poison, after which it is swallowed head first. The spines, naturally pointing toward the tail of the victim, and being relaxed on death, are compressed against the body of the fish as deglutition proceeds. While in search of their prey, sea snakes sometimes venture a short distance up the mouth of large rivers. Dr. Weber records an instance where he was fishing in one of the rivers on the east coast of Sumatra. He was using dragnet and had cornered a number of medium sized fish. As the net was being brought in, two large sea snakes suddenly made their appearance inside. They showed no signs of unceasiness at capture, but were hurriedly gobbling down the corneared fishes. Nor did they cease operations until the last fish had disappeared, when the formidable creatures made their escape. Being air breathers, the sea snakes lead a similar existence to the whale. Scientists have expressed much interest as to how long they can remain under water. Professor R. P. Wittfield of the American Museum of Natural History, while dragging for corals, saw a large sea snake lying motionless among some coral growths, some sight feet below the surface. It showed no signs of fear and remained in the same position for half an hour. The venom of these reptiles is even more deadly than that of the cobra. The fangs are very short, and consequently do not penetrate so deep as the fangs of most serpents, but only a scratch from them is necessary to produce serious results. Owing to their great shyness accidents are very rare. When cornered, they snap upon a victim. As the eyes are adapted only for use in the water they strike blindly when brought into the air, although living for days when removed from their native element. Many specimens hauled up in fishermen's nets have been sent to zoological gardens. The London gardens even went so far as to build a special tank for their accommodation. But these captured specimens either die en route or a short time after being placed in captivity. Seeking a dark corner of their tank, they refuse all food and ultimately starve to death. Around the numerous volcanic islands of the Malayan archipelago these reptiles are particularly numerous. Frequent eruptions occur among these islands, which are hardly more than the body of the volcano. During the time of an eruption the few people residing near by take to the water in their boats to escape the rain of cakes and mud. It is generally a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire, however. At such times the sea becomes uncomfortable warm from its close proximity to the burning mountain, and the sea snakes swim wildly about for escape. They endeavor to climb over the gunwales of the refugees' boats, while they twine their bodies in great masses about the forward chains. When abent to lay their eggs, these serpents approach the shore. The eggs are laid above high water mark and are tinted with delicate shades of green.
