An Interesting Bulletin Issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley. The Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley has issued a bulletin on Paris green for the Codling-moth, a copy of which has been received. We quote extracts from the bulletin as follows: Paris green is practically the only substance that has been widely and extensively used as a remedy for the Codling moth. During the last three or four years a great deal of complaint has been made, both here and in the Eastern States, because of the failure to obtain the same good results as formerly, even by orchardists who do very careful work and have previously had the best of results. During this period there has been a decided change in the microscopic appearance of most of the Paris green on the market, indicating a large amount of adulteration on the one hand and a different and less satisfactory method of manufacture on the other. The situation became so thoroughly unendurable that the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley sent out circular letters to the entomologists of the various experiment stations, and to the editors of a number of agricultural newspapers, in order to obtain the opinions of these parties and the facts in their possession. FORMS OF IMPURITIES. Three distinct classes of unsatisfactory Paris green can be recognized, which we would designate, respectively, as bogus, adulterated and low-grade Paris green. Bogus Paris Green—Under this title is included that series of out-and-out imitations of Paris green in which the color is produced from other substances than copper, and which usually contain no trace of either copper or arsenic. They are usually perfectly harmless to necessary. The substance as it is purchased from the store is stirred up in water and is at once ready for use. If it is necessary to add some material to neutralize the free arsenious oxid, it will be better to take slightly more trouble and decrease the cost of the material by the use of home-made arsenites. CAUSES OF INJURY TO FOLIAGE. While Paris green is entirely insoluble in pure water, it appears that as ordinarily used a certain amount of it does find its way into solution and thus enters the plant; and if very much goes in, the death of the part of the plant thus poisoned ensues. The most critical period seems to be the time during which the spray remains wet upon the leaf, and each subsequent wetting of the leaf from any cause, such as a fog or dew, continues the danger. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that dry Paris green can be placed upon a leaf in any quantity, and so long as the leaf remains dry no evil results will follow. After an application in the wet way, almost immediately, within 24 hours, a blackening of the leaf or of parts of the leaf may occur, or the leaf may entirely escape at that time, but later, after a dew or fog, show signs of the action of the poison; or again, there may be no blackening of the leaf observed at any time, but the leaf may become prematurely yellow and drop off within two or three weeks from the time the application was made; showing that the poison which entered the plant, though not enough to kill it at once, deranged its functions to such an extent as to cause this premature dropping. These two forms of poisoning are designated as the acute and the chronic poisoning of arsenic. The amount of poisoning that may occur, other things being equal, seems to be entirely dependent upon the amount of soluble arsenic in the spray mixture, though there are conditions of the plant when it is possible to spray even with a solution of arsenic and produce no evil effects. We know that under certain conditions leaves will absorb water, and under other conditions not at all; so it may be supposed in cases where solutions of arsenic have THE LA HABRA VALLEY. A Fertile Spot That Is Attracting Wide Attention. The La Habra ranch is one of the tracts of land granted by the Mexican government to Abel Stearns, and title thereto by the administrator of his estate was conveyed to the Stearns Rancho Company. It is a V-shaped piece of land, containing about eight thousand acres, lying near the towns of Whittier and Fullerton, just across the Los Angeles county line in Orange county. The general character is that of a basin, on three sides bordered by hills. During ages, sedimentary soil has been washed down the hill-slopes into the basin. Though that basin is at an elevation varying from 500 to 600 feet above sea level, one has here real bottom land. It is smooth, and either gently undulating or a softly-inclined plane. True valley land, except a small portion, which is the beginning of a hill slope. The soil is a very rich, sandy loam. The tract extends from the mouth of Brea canyon on the north-east, to the point on the south-west where the highly improved Emery and McNally ranches and the celebrated Lefflingwell lemon orchard meet. To the north are the famous Puente hills, where for several years numerous oil wells have been in operation. The tops of these hills are from 700 to 800 feet above the valley. On their sides are many springs, mostly, as yet, only partly developed, giving a perpetual run of water, a portion whereof is being piped into the valley, as all might be. These springs are from 250 to 400 feet above the foot of the hill. LA HABRA'S WATER SUPPLY. About the center of the valley is flowing artesian well, about 60 feet deep. Near that well are a number of clenegas, spreading in every direction. Three distinct classes of unsatisfactory Paris green can be recognized, which we would designate, respectively, as bogus, adulterated and low-grade Paris green. Bogus Paris Green.—Under this title is included that series of out-and-out imitations of Paris green in which the color is produced from other substances than copper, and which usually contain no trace of either copper or arsenic. They are usually perfectly harmless to the plant and to the insect, and quite decidedly cheaper than Paris green. They are sold mostly by paint dealers, and were probably manufactured for use as a cheap form of green pigment than is Paris green. We have very little information of their extensive sale in California as Paris green, though both Mr. Rowley, of the Fruit Grower, and Secretary B. M. Lelong, of the State Board of Horticulture, have met with samples sold as bona fide Paris green. It is probable that none of these articles would stand the ammonia test described below; certainly, they would be at once recognized under the microscope. Adulterated Paris Green—This class of Paris green is often sold by unscrupulous jobbers—and indicates always an intention of fraud on the part of some one. They consist of Paris green in part, generally upward of fifty per cent, and to this is added some other substance for the purpose of increasing the weight. Any white powder, such as gypsum, will do, and flower has been used. The intensity of the green color in good Paris green allows considerable addition of white material, though in some cases green or blue pigments are added to prevent detection. Most of these forms of cheapening Paris green are at once recognized in all three of the tests given below, and especially are they at once detected under the microscope. Low-Grade Paris Green.—The third type of unsatisfactory Paris green, and the one most difficult to recognize, is a "low-grade Paris green;" by which term it is intended to designate those manufactured in such a way as to obtain a low per cent of arsenious oxid in combination. A strictly pure Paris green can be produced, according to our observations, with not over forty per cent arsenious oxid, but such a sample is simply low-grade. To use such in spraying would require nearly one-half more material to produce effective-spraying, than would be necessary with a sample containing the normal fifty-eight per cent of arsenious oxid. For this class of green it appears that the only test now available is the chemical determination of the quantity of arsenic present. The production of low-grade Paris green is almost as expensive, or perhaps quite as expensive, so far as the ingredients used are concerned, as is the production of the high-grade article. It therefore appears that the low-grade greens are produced not with any intention of defrauding the public, but rather because of the ease of manufacture. The laws, especially of New York where the greatest amount of Paris green is manufactured, require the total arsenious oxid to be above fifty per cent, and this has required the addition, either during or after manufacture, of sufficient arsenious oxid in the free State to come within the requirements of the law. As a result of this the greater part of the low-grade Paris green on the market contains as considerable proportion that the poison which entered the plant, though not enough to kill it at once, deranged its functions to such an extent as to cause this premature dropping. These two forms of poisoning are designated as the acute and the chronic poisoning of arsenic. The amount of poisoning that may occur, other things being equal, seems to be entirely dependent upon the amount of soluble arsenic in the spraying mixture, though there are conditions of the plant when it is possible to spray even with a solution of arsenic and produce no evil effects. We know that under certain conditions leaves will absorb water, and under other conditions not at all; so it may be supposed in cases where solutions of arsenic have been applied without injury that the plant was in such a condition that no absorption of water took place and none of the arsenic solution entered the plant; and that before the leaves became again absorbent the water had evaporated, leaving the arsenic upon the leaves in a dry form. This might flake off and blow away from the leaves before they are exposed to dew or fog. It may be that when we know more about the effect of weather upon the leaves we will be able to spray at times when the leaf is least susceptible to injury, and so lessen the danger to the plant. Prevention of Injury.—A chemical means of avoiding the injury of Paris green has been used considerably. It consists in adding a large amount of lime to the water in which the Paris green is mixed, and this appears to be sufficient to render insoluble any slight amount of free arsenic or other soluble arsenites that may be present. The use of lime with Paris green has now come to be recognized as a very important precautionary measure in preparing this spraying material, chiefly because of the presence of white arsenic in the Paris green that has been manufactured of late years. The amount commonly recommended varies from one ten parts of lime to each part of Paris green. If the amount of free arsenic in the sample is not too high, good effects will result from adding the lime; but beyond a certain point the time does no good and may even harm. It has long been known that lime acts on white arsenic, when the latter is in suspension in water, in such a way as to render it much more injurious to foliage than the arsenic would have been without the lime. TESTS FOR PURITY. There are no simple tests which will enable a person to quickly determine absolutely the purity of any given sample of Paris green. A great many forms of adulterants, however, can be immediately detected. Samples showing any considerable variation in color, especially an abnormally pale shade, is an almost certain indication of adulteration, and those showing a tendency to dampness, or caking, should be rejected. Two or three methods are available for recognizing most of the conspicuous impurities. Ammonia Test.—Paris green dissolves freely and wholly in ammonia, becoming a beautiful blue liquid; while a majority of the substances formerly used in adulterating a green are insoluble. This, therefore, is a very ready means of recognizing most of the crude forms of adulteration. If upon treatment with ammonia any of the materials fails to dissolve, the sample is adulterated. This test, however, is not conclusive, since white arsenic and a number of other substances used in adulterating Paris green, especially in these later years, are soluble in ammonia and would escape detection if this method alone were depended on. Ammonia then affords valid grounds for that the poison which entered the plant, though not enough to kill it at once, deranged its functions to such an extent as to cause this premature dropping. These two forms of poisoning are designated as the acute and the chronic poisoning of arsenic. The amount of poisoning that may occur, other things being equal, seems to be entirely dependent upon the amount of soluble arsenic in the spraying mixture, though there are conditions of the plant when it is possible to spray even with a solution of arsenic and produce no evil effects.

Changes for sale on all the local cities in the United States foreign Countries. It therefore appears that the low-grade greens are produced not with any intention of defrauding the public, but rather because of the ease of manufacture. The laws, especially of New York where the greatest amount of Paris green is manufactured, require the total arsenious oxid to be above fifty per cent, and this has required the addition, either during or after manufacture, of sufficient arsenious oxid in the free State to come within the requirements of the law. As a result of this the greater part of the low-grade Paris green on the market contains as an adulterant a considerable proportion of the free acid. The determinations that have been heretofore made have only taken into consideration the total arsenic per cent, and so all these samples of low-grade, "doctored" Paris green have passed as pure. DANGER FROM ARSENICAL ADULTERATIONS. While arsenic (arsenious oxid), as has long been known, is very injurious to foliage; for this reason, it is scarcely at all used for the destruction of insects. It is much cheaper than Paris green, and were it not for the injury to foliage would have been used entirely instead of Paris green. The one thing which has made the latter the standard insecticide has been its insolubility. Of late years, since the addition of free white arsenic has become a common practice by the manufacturers, or by adulterators, the unreliability of Paris green in its influence on foliage has been repeatedly noticed. In the hands of the farmer this is almost sure to result in a diminution of the dose until the injury becomes unimportant. On the farm it is the practice to weigh and measure things very carelessly, and the difference between full measure and scant measure, even when the farmer thinks he is following directions, amounts to a very great deal. The diminution of dose has been one of the causes, and an important one, of the complaint of the ineffectiveness of Paris green, which we have heard from all over the United States, during the last few years. The danger to foliage from free arsenic has also resulted in the change of the formula now usually recommended, by attempting to neutralize the soluble substances in the Paris green by the addition of lime. This matter will be referred to again below and in more detail. The addition of lime has been more or less successful when the amount of arsenic was not too large, but one of the great advantages of Paris green—that which more than anything else has caused it to hold its own as an insecticide—is the fact that no preparation is available for recognizing most of the crude forms of adulteration. If upon treatment with ammonia any of the material fails to dissolve, the sample is adulterated. This test, however, is not conclusive, since white arsenic and a number of other substances used in adulterating Paris green, especially in these later years, are soluble in ammonia and would escape detection if this method alone were depended on. Ammonia then affords valid grounds for rejecting a sample if any portion of it is insoluble; but other means must be used to be sure of its purity, even if apparently pure by this test. Glass Test. — A very simple test, which will enable one to distinguish quite a good proportion of adulterated samples at once, including many of those not detectable with ammonia, is to take a very small portion of Paris green—what one could easily pick up on the point of a penknife—place this upon a piece of glass, holding the glass at an angle; jarring the lower edge will cause the little pile of green to move down the inclined surface, leaving behind it a bright green track, if the sample is pure; but in the case of many adulterated or impure samples the track would be white or pale green. The glass test is particularly useful in comparing a number of samples, and after one has acquired some experience it becomes quite reliable. It does not enable one to detect the recent forms of arsenic adulterations, and like the ammonia test should never be considered as conclusive evidence of purity.

Ammonia Test. — Paris green dissolves freely and wholly in ammonia, becoming a beautiful blue liquid; while a majority of the substances formerly used in adulterating a green are insoluble. This, therefore, is a very ready means of recognizing most of the crude forms of adulteration. If upon treatment with ammonia any of the material fails to dissolve, the sample is adulterated. This test, however, is not conclusive, since white arsenic and a number of other substances used in adulterating Paris green, especially in these later years, are soluble in ammonia and would escape detection if this method alone were depended on.

Few regions have soil more naturally moist and therefore needing irrigation less; and in fewer yet are their greater facilities for irrigation. Several ranchers have established pumping plants. For example, Vole pumps twenty-five inches out pit, wherein is artesian well, requires only one joint of pipe. Smith made a well, and pumps three a 15-foot pipe. He gets twenty miner's inches, and with a pump larger capacity might double this. Dodge pumps fourteen inches of water out of a well 120 feet deep. H.M. tule pumps five inches with a 3-inch engine, from a well wherein we rise to within thirty feet from there. He burns a 5-cent distillate at a rate 15 cents per day. M. Michael who lately bought twenty acres planted in orchard, already beamed made a well 110 feet deep, and put four inches of water with a 3-power engine. All this shows the exceedingly figure whereat water sufficient for gating a twenty-acre tract can be cured—say an outfit complete for with well and pumping plant together tank, pipes, etc. Operating exp from 15 to 30 cents per day. THE PRODUCTS OF LA HABRITA. The small portion of the La Habritha ranch which is on a hillside is useless pasture. Of this none is in cultivation but there are some fine springs in the other land is in either fruit or hay. About one thousand acres in fruit—remarkably thrifty and ores trees. No fruit trees are ever years old, except the walnut trees eighty-acre orchard; the property Robert Northam, whose trees seven years old, and never have been rigged. Last year the walnut tree this orchard were among them handled by the Fullerton association. THE RAINFALL AT LA HABRITA. The annual rainfall in the La Habritha valley averages much higher than where in Orange county, here drought year is less disastrous Orange county has this year, or not irrigated, had far better crops one had a right to expect, because spring and early summer have been usually cool, so that there were scorching and but little evaporation There has also been a great cloudy weather and moist air from ocean. Hay on dry land throughout the country, except on hillsides mostly yielded not less than half per acre. But in la La Habritha it has averaged a ton. And th Gazette. 11, 1900. A HABRA VALLEY. Foot That Is Attracting Wide Attention. Habra ranch is one of the land granted by the Mexican act to Abel Stearns, and title to the administrator of his conveyed to the Stearns company. It is a V-shaped land, containing about eight acres, lying near the towns of and Fullerton, just across the counties line in Orange. The general character is that on three sides bordered by rolling ages, sedimentary soil washed down the hill-slopes basin. Though that basin is notion varying from 500 to 600 sea level, one has here real land. It is smooth, and either circulating or a softly-inclined true valley land, except a small which is the beginning of a valley. The soil is a very rich, fertile extends from the mouth of the south-west where the approved Emery and McNally and the celebrated Leffingwell hard meet. To the north are Puente hills, where for years numerous oil wells have operated. The tops of these from 700 to 800 feet above the On their sides are many mostly, as yet, only partly depriving a perpetual run of portion whereof is being piped valley, as all might be. These are from 250 to 400 feet above of the hill. HABRA’S WATER SUPPLY. The center of the valley is a martesian well, about 60 feet near that well are a number of spreading in every direction fall these last two years has been almost double that elsewhere. According to observations made by two different parties, at points a mile apart, there fell in the season of 1897 to 1898, between the first of October, 1897, and the 15th of May, 1893, 8.75 inches. In the season of 1898 to 1899, between the 30th of September, 1898, and the 1st of June, 1899, the fall was 10.1 inches. On the 10th of January, 1899, there fell 3.3 inches; and on the next day nearly one inch more. Dry land in the La Habra valley, in a normal year, yields two tons of hay per acre, and some fields have been known to yield four tons. Of grain 20 sacks, with isolated instances of 32 sacks per acre on 200 acres. HOW THE VALLEY IS SITUATED. The hills which border the La Habra valley to the north have a trend from the southeast to the northwest. At the Santa Ana canyon they meet similar hills, with a trend northeast to southwest. The hills which border the La Habra valley to the south are a body of lower hills, stretching from a point a couple of miles northeast of Norwalk to Placentia. Between the Santa Ana canyon and Brea canyon on one side, and the Santa Ana river at a distance on the other side, those southern hills dwindle away. There is a scope of country containing the old Yorba grant, the Olinda ranch and a scope of country between the latter and the La Habra valley. Of the six thousand odd acres of valley land in La Habra, there still are about one thousand acres of really good land for sale. These are owned and controlled by W. J. Hole, who came from Kentucky five years ago and bought a large tract of La Habra land. He has made extensive improvements, planted orchards, built a substantial and tasteful brick residence, and seemingly does well whatever he undertakes. He never shrinks from necessary labor or expense, is successful because judicious and experienced, active and straightforward in his dealings. The lands which he has placed on the market, or rather whereof he has been rapidly disposing, are as good as any which he retains. Only mostly unimproved. His prices vary from $45 to AWOKE AND WAS FAMOUS. Frantz’s Ostriches. Billy Frantz woke up and found himself famous. His picture was printed in the Los Angeles Times. True, there was nothing in the nature of a write-up to add zest to the picture, or add further identification to it, but there it was, just the same; along with Frank Eastman and the pair of trotting ostriches. The photograph was taken on Olive street, near Broadway, and shows, besides the principal figures of the group, the southerly end of the Del Campo hotel and the Santa Fe depot in the background. The birds are hitched to a sulky, in which Eastman is seated holding the ribbons, while Frantz stands a few paces to the rear, his hat cocked to one side in the old familiar way. Frantz is supposed to be the first man who ever broke ostriches to harness. He began the work some four years ago and succeeded so well that he took the birds around the circuit, going as far as San Diego. There he joined a circus, and went with the show as far as Colorado, where he parted company with it, and started to exhibit the birds on his own hook. At one stand he took in $80 in one day, but inclement weather came on, and Frantz could go no further. He sold the birds at a sacrifice and came home. The birds have been heard of at intervals since then, and it is believed that the pair of driving ostriches which ex-Governor Hogg of Texas now possesses are the same birds. The Associated Press recently sent out a story from Texas to the effect that when Bryan visited that State the ex-Governor intended having an ostrich race with him at the fair grounds, one gentleman to drive one of the birds and the other its mate. These are supposed to be the same birds. Frantz has been living at Redlands for some years past, running a barber shop. The ostriches were a losing game for him, and he lost considerable money before disposing of them. A Bad Smashup. The center of the valley is a martesian well, about 60 feet near that well are a number of spreading in every direction on an area. From these springs Creek takes its source. Of water underlying the whole How deep one has to bore or order to reach this water is deter-ly the elevation above the Coyote Creek. This creek, along the hills to the south-west, running underground, and fur-ly the Emery ranch a perpetual mass, varying in depth from 60 to eight thousand odd acres con-structed on the original La Habra ranch, three-fourths are valley land, well adapted for fruit as for hay. Irrigation is easy and intensive; but, with all the natural, deciduous fruit, grapes and do not appear to require it. Last summer, during the worst drought, at a depth of less than 2 inches below the surface the moist enough to be kneaded. Source of Coyote Creek is a body merely semi-moist, but regular sand, partly peat. There at this point can be seen growing a crop of second to none elsewhere in county on irrigated land. Experienced borer of deep wells, carp, of La Mirada, made a well deep, at the postoffice, which is above the level of Coyote Creek. Depth of 60 feet he struck a cur-ful water so strong as to make him want of an artesian flow within reach. As fruit, for example, an orchard of W. J. Hole, containing twenty of Washington seedless oranges, five of lemons and five of grapees is irrigated by water pumped from creek, pressed upward through pipes, and thence poured into with gates opening on furrows between the rows of trees. Or it brought down in pipes from springs on the hillsides, tanked in ores, and thence distributed. Now, howsoever obtained, it is ful, and more can easily be se-lected regions have soil more natural-ist, and therefore needing irrigation; and in fewer yet are there their facilities for irrigation. General ranchers have established living plants. For example, W. J. pumps twenty-five inches out of a theremin is the artisan well, which rests only one joint of pipe. S. M. made a well, and pumps through a foot pipe. He gets twenty-five inches, and with a pump of capacity might double this. Mr. pumps fourteen inches of water a well 120 feet deep. H. M. Lit-tamps five inches with a 3-horse The six thick land in La Habra, there still are about one thousand acres of really good land for sale. These are owned and controlled by W. J. Hole, who came from Kentucky five years ago and bought a large tract of La Habra land. He has made extensive improvements, planted orchards, built a substantial and tasteful brick residence, and seemingly does well whatever he undertakes. He never shrinks from necessary labor or expense, is successful because judicious and experienced, active and straightforward in his dealings. The lands which he has placed on the market, or rather whereof he has been rapidly disposing, are as good as any which he retains. Only mostly unimproved. His prices vary from $45 to $85 per acre. Seventy-five acres of the very richest soil, where flowing artesian water can be had easily, is offered with a crop of corn, not surpassed anywhere. RESIDENCES OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN From any part of the valley one has a beautiful panoramic view. The vast grain and hay fields are diversified with orchards. Neat residences, clusters of shade and ornamental trees, and copse dot the landscape. From Mr. Hole's residence, from some others also on elevated ground, though none on a hillside, and from various vantage grounds not yet built on, one has a magnificent and extensive glimpse of the ocean, discerning Catalina Island at a distance of forty miles. There is thus far only one store, with a lumber yard attached, where the postoffice is kept. Mail goes from there every day, except Sunday, to Whittier, distance six miles. There is also a church building and a blacksmith shop. An excellent two-story frame school building accommodates an enrollment of fifty-five scholars, and can accommodate 150 more. The whole community is thrifty, intelligent and respectable. The hills to the north and east protect the valley against desert winds, and such a thing as a so-called "Santa Ana" has not been known. They also shelter against frost; at least to the extent of serious damage. No tree was ever hurt by frost, not even during the winter last past, which had spells of unusual severity. CONNECTIONS WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. The nearest railroad towns are Fullerton, a thrift place on the Southern California railroad, distant five miles, and Whittier, on the Southern Pacific, distant six miles. A telephone line connects La Habra with Fullerton. Ten residences at and near La Habra have phones. Extreme heat is as unknown as cold, chilly weather. A gentle suction in summer always creates a mild current of air, fanning one most pleasantly. The proximity of the sea invigorates, and the temperature is equable, no extreme range between noon and midnight. Mr. Hole settled in the valley in search of health for Mrs. Hole. She has completely recovered, and now is the personification of vigorous health, unconsciously advertising the climate by her physical appearance and bright spirits. A few other settlers similarly affected have been likewise benefited. For example, there is an aged couple who bought 40 acres and built a comfortable house. The man, 78 years of age, does a regular day's work raising grain. The wife, without any discomfort, attends to the customary domestic duties.

The ostriches were a losing game for him, and he lost considerable money before disposing of them. A Bad Smashup. A serious runaway and smashup occurred about half past 8 o'clock on Thursday morning last, in which Conrad's brewery wagon, which was standing in front of Lieb's saloon, was badly wrecked, and the tongue of a wagon belonging to W. W. Adams was broken off two feet from the end. Adams team had been standing at the hitching post at the side of Boyd's store when the horses became frightened and started to run away. They ran diagonally across the street, passing over the cement sidewalk at Stern's corner, going between three telephone telegraph and electric light poles, which barely afforded room to pass. Across Center street they ran toward the electric light pole standing opposite, grazing it in their turn. Then they started at a gallop down the street. The brewery wagon had been standing in front of the saloon, while Fritz Gruene may was inside taking a neues jahr prosa. The horses attached to it became restive, and acted as if they might join in the runaway themselves. The Adams team was upon the brewery wagon in an instant, the tongue smashing its way into the wagon box, leaving a hole large enough to insert one's fist. The brewery wagon was overturned, and when a crowd of bystanders gathered they saw one of Adams' horses lying prone upon the demolished vehicle, free from the ground, and held tightly by the harness which pinioned him in his awkward position. The other horse was almost lost to view under the wreck. Two five-gallon kegs of beer and a cake of ice lay in the mud in the gutter. The left hind wheel of the brewery vehicle was smashed to splinters and the top was broken in like an old hat. The horses were with difficulty extriated, but when the crowd sought to set the brewery wagon up its weight falling upon the smashed hind wheel caused it to settle in the mud, and there it remained until it was hauled in the blacksmith shop for repairs. The Capri Insect. The propagation of the fig wasp takes place in the following manner: The female wasp forces its way with the loss of its wings into the fruit of the Capri ficus through the eye, and lays its eggs in the ovaries of gall flowers. In consequence of this puncture made by the female wasp the wasp embryo develops in ovary of the flower. Although the figs are protogynous, the wasp is protandrous; that is,the male matures before the female,the wingless male insect being first to appear. They gnaw their way into the ovaries in which the female lie impregnate them and then perish within the fig in which they are born.The winged female then escapes,and entersthe following crop of the Capri ficuswhenthe same process just described takes The annual rainfall in the La Habra county which is on a hillside is used for agriculture. Of this none is in cultivation; there are some fine springs. All other land is in either fruit, grain or hay. About one thousand acres are cultured—remarkably thrifty and vigorous. No fruit trees are over four years old, except the walnut trees in an eighty-acre orchard, the property of Robert Northam, whose trees are ten years old, and never have been irrigated. Last year the walnuts from the orchard were among the best sold by the Fullerton association. THE RAINFALL AT LA HABRA. The annual rainfall in the La Habra county averages much higher than elsewhere in Orange county, hence a drought year is less disastrous. All range counties has this year, on land irrigated, had far better crops than had a right to expect, because the spring and early summer have been unusually cool, so that there was noorching and but little evaporation. There has also been a great deal of dusty weather and moist air from the canon. Hay on dry land throughout the country, except on hillsides, has mostly yielded not less than half a ton per acre. But in the La Habra valley has averaged a ton. And the rain- and the temperature is equable, no extreme range between noon and midnight. Mr. Hole settled in the valley in search of health for Mrs. Hole. She has completely recovered, and now is the personification of vigorous health, unconsciously advertising the climate by her physical appearance and bright spirits. A few other settlers similarly affected have been likewise benefited. For example, there is an aged couple who bought 40 acres and built a comfortable house. The man, 78 years of age, does a regular day's work raising grain. The wife, without any discomfort, attends to the customary domestic duties. The La Habra valley is pre-eminently a place for diversified farming, and for many industries which can profitably be carried on not only on a large but also on a small scale; for example, the raising of vegetables. Many ranchers make $80 per acre from early potatoes, or $30 from peas—and that without irrigation. They need not peddle their produce. People come to them if they want to raise tomatoes on a large scale, there is a cannery at Anaheim and one at Whittler competing for the product. Watermelons and muskmelons, cucumbers and cabbage are found profitable near Fallerton and in the Placentia district. Here the conditions are fully favorable. For poultry the La Habra valley is splendidly situated. There is nothing to cause disease, and feed is plenty. Eggs and broilers always command a ready sale, at a figure reasonably remunerative. Neither the La Habra valley nor any other part of California—or as to that, of the earth—is a land of lotus-eaters, where one can loll in ease and roll in wealth; but nowhere can one be more sure of a reasonable reward for his toll, provided industrious and skillful, and possessing what little capital is required. In few places are there so few uncertainties.—Fruit World. Use Allen’s Foot-hase in Your Gloves. A lady writes: “I shake Allen’s Foot-Ease into my gloves and rub a little on hands.

The winged female then escapes, and enters the following crop of the Capri ficus, when the same process just described takes place, or if the fruit has been removed, as is done with the June crop, and hung in the branches of the Smyrna fig tree, the wasp forces its way through the eyes of this, the edible fig, which is then in the proper state of maturity to admit its entrance, and in its endeavor to lay eggs, and laden, with the pollen obtained in its outward passage from the Capri fig, fertilizes the female flowers of the former and perishes, leaving no offspring, the construction of the female flowers being such that the insect is prevented from depositing its eggs. All figs fertilized in the manner described will mature good, edible fruit, while those figs which are not pollinated fall to develop, dry up and fall from the tree when about the size of marbles.
