THE CALIFORNIA FRUIT TRADE.
Crop Prospects of Is7O--Tbe business Of
Last Year.

/
The prospect of the fruit crop of 1876 is
most promising throughout the State. Most
of the fruit-growers anticipate that II Will
| be one-third in excess of that of last year,
and therefore the largest yet knowL in
| California. The anxiety, unfortunately, of
| California fruit-growers is not with regard
| to the quantity which will be produced,
| but how to dispose of 1t. The home fruit
market cannot consume much more than
one-fourth of the crop, and unless the
| East comes to its rescue large quantities of
| fruit must rot beneath the trees. Last year
| thousands of tons of fruit were lost. The
home market being inadequate to its con-
sumption, our dealers have turned their
attention toward the vast and Unsuitable
market of the Eastern Stats, and endeav-
ored there to dispose of our enormous sur
plus. But the tariff imposed by the rail-
road companies offered an insurmountable
obstacle, and unless il be in some measure
modified this year, we will be as badly off
as ever for a market for this commodity.
All fruit shippers lost on their transactions
last year. AS a rule, Californians are mag
unanimous, but we cannot afford to pay for
the privilege of feeding our Eastern neigh
bors with our fruit. Our shippers are will
ing to guarantee that, If the railroad will
transport their fruit at $500 per carload,
they will ship this season between 5000
and 4, 900 tons of fuuit, on which the freight,
dt tDc Idtt alllOuht W bS-
tween S150,00O and 5000, 600. On the other
hand, if the rates of last year be maintained,
they will not ship more than two or three
carloads, and it is doubtful If even that
amount will be risked. Five hundred dol
lars per carload is the rate at present
charged on wool; but then wool goes by
slow freight, while it is absolutely necessa-
ry that fruit should be transported as rap
idly as possible.
Last year the business generally was
transacted in very loose and Unsatisfactory
manner, and n deal more was done to re-
tard the ultimate success of the trade than
to advance it. The prevailing idea seemed
to be that all that was necessary was to
shovel the fruit under the noses of our
Eastern neighbors in any condition what
ever, and thus get fabulous prices for it.
Eastern consignees could sell the fruit at
whatever prices they chose, and at the
same time make returns which suited the
convenience of their own pockets. In
this way many of our shippers lost fruit,
freight and time. Several consignments
of Bartlett Pears, packed for Chicago in
such manner that past experience tells us
that they must have arrived. in good condi-
ton, but when the returns were received
they were marked, so many boxes damag-
ed, so many partially damaged, and SO
many-so few-in good condition. Chica-
go people willingly paid rs cents piece
for our large Bartlett pears, which cost
Chicago retail dealers but 10 cents.--.Sda

Hay as n Feed.

COrn-StalkS are dlfflcult to keep; straw

not the ripe or bleached article that we find
so much. This is worse than good straw or
corn stalks. But the hay that is grass
cured, such as we now and then find, and
once finding, never miss it there this is
wanted. Here is something fresh and sweet
and nutritious, containing all the elements
necessary to growth and the production of
butter and cheese, and these of better quail
ity and of equal or superior quality to any
thing that is commonly produced. We
say it is better, more desirable all round

1t is the natural food it is healthy; it is

FARM AND HOME.
Hog Cholera.

A citizen of Hickman, KY, writes to
ington as follows:
Judging from post mortem examina-
tons, / am satisfied that hog cholera re-
suits from diseased liver or worms in the
intestines l killed a shoat some time
since, and its liver was twice as large as
it ought to have been, and full of boils.
| killed hog the other day, and its small
intestines were covered with small pimples,
very hard; / opened the gut and it was
full of fiat white worms which appeared
to be dead, their heads sticking fast in the
gut and making these pimples on the out
side.
l am inclined to think that if remedy
can be found that will expel these worms,
we will find cure for hog cholera. The
liver of the hog above named was per-
fectly sound. He was one of my pork
hogs, and had been eating salt and ashes
twice week for two months, which had
kept his bowels open, and prevented the
worms from blocking up the canal and
producing constipation, which is really
what we call hog cholera, for if 6 hog
purges he almost certainly gets well.
Curing sick hog is all stuff believe
nine times out of ten the hogs cured
would have got well anyhow. / believe
in preventives AS soon as your pigs can
crack corn" cover the pen with ashes
ana sprinkle salt on II and shell the corn
to them. Move your hogs as often as you
can conveniently, and never feed long or
let them sleep for a long time in the same
place. In this latitude never suffer hog
to go under shelter; further north 1t may
be necessary. Dust is the worst thing in
the world for a hog; straw the next. If a
hog should be taken sick move the well
ones away from him and kill him, or leave
him where he is. Green apples and red
clover are also good preventive. have
never had the hog cholera on my place
but once, and scarcely ever have pig or
hog to die.
In the last two year my sows have had
one hundred pigs, and 1 have lost three
pigs and two hogs, and yet have been sur
rounded by hog cholera each year. Hogs
should not be fed in the morning in the
spring and early fall they will cat and
bed up together when the mornings are
cool, and of course at night. Being thus
bedded up together nearly all the time will
produce disease of itself. If not fed they
will stir out TO hunt something to eat.
Give them good feed at night and they
will lie down and digest it well. The
largest hog grower in this country follows
these rules and is never troubled with hog
cholera

to time so as to leave eventually only three
plants to hill He preferred two plants
rather than more than three. During the
growth of the crop he continued cultiva-
ton whenever the soil was in suitable
condition to cultivate, blowing quite deep
ly first, and more shallow rs the season
advanced, and using the cultivator the last
two or three times instead of the plow.
He continued cultivation until the largest
melons were of the size of a quart meas
ure, when he ceased. He cultivated the
Mountain Sweet and the Honey-comb.
The latter variety was more productive,
and there was more money in 1t which
planted for market But for family use,
he would recommend the Mountain Sweet.
When good melon crop was raised, the
value of the fruit sold ranged from $500 to
S4OO per acre. For the last few years he
had pretty much discontinued growing
water melons. He now grew citron mel
ons, which grown somewhat similar to
water melons, except planting the hills five
by six feet apart. One year he turned un-
der crop of rye about three feet high, and
had a good crop of citron melons. The
value of his crop year before last was at
the rate of three hrndred dollars an acre
The market price in Cincinnati ranged
from two to five dollars per barrel. He
sprinkled lime dust over his melon plants
to keep off the striped bug"

STRANGE OUTRAGE IN TTTUsvILLE, PA.
The community were shocked yesterday
morning by the report of an outrage which
seemed incredible. Dr. Bailey and his wife
occupy rooms on the second floor of a
building on Pine-street. On Tuesday
evening Mrs. Bailey, who had been ill
during the day, retired to bed about 81
o'clock, and soon fell asleep, and while in
this condition, some unknown person en-
tered the room and cut off her hair. Mrs
Baily wore her hair in tresses, falling
upon her shoulders. 1t was long, dark
and luXuriant, and she was in the habit of
throwing it back upon the pillow. In
this position the hair was cut very near to
the head, and so deXterously that she was
not awakened. The door of the Office was
las usual in the absence of the DOCTOR
unlocked, and whoever perpetrated the
outrage was doubtless familiar with this
circumstance. DIR. Bailey returned home
about 8 o'clock and at once made the dis
covery. His wife who had been undis-
turbed, could give no account of the trans
action, and thus far the Investigations
have failed to throw any light upon it.
DIR. Bailey offers reward of $3.50 70 the
detection and conviction of the person
who committed the outrage. TtusUiNe

FARMERS.-Adam was farmer while
yet i'm Paradise, and after his fall COM
manded to earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow.
Job, the honest, upright and patient, was
a farmer, and his endurance has passed
into proverb.
Socrates was farmer, and yet welded
to his calling the glory of his immortal
philosophy.
st. Luke was a farmer, and divides with
Prometheus the honor of subjecting the OK
for the use of man.
Cincinnatus was farmer, and the no.
blest Roman of them all.
Burns was farmer, and the msse found
him at the pillow and filled his soul with
poetry.
Washington was farmer, and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy
the quiet rural life, and present to the
world spectacle of human greatnes.
To these names may be added host of
othess who sought peace and repose in
theiF mother earth; the enthusiastic La
Fayette, the steadfast Pickering, the scho-
lastic Jefferson, the fiery Randolph, all
found an Eldorado of consolation from
life's cares in verdant lawns that surround
ed their homesteads.

A New DISCOVERY IN CORNING find
the following in the st. Louis journal of
Agricaiture credited to that very popular
journal. The discovery may be productive
of great practical good:
An intelligent and reliable neighbor of
ours, who has for many years been making
experiments with corn, has discovered an
Importance and value in replanted corn
which is quite novel, and worthy of pub
LEGATION. We have always thought that
replanted corn was of very little conse-
quence, but this gentleman says sit is of
so much consequence he replants whether
it is needed or motor rather, he plants
two or three weeks after the crop is plant
cd, a hill about every fifteenth row each
way" He says:
"If the weather becomes dry during the
filling time, the silk and tassel both be-
come dry and dead. In this condition, IL
it should become seasonable, the silk re-
wives and renews its growth, but the tassel
does not recover Then, for want of pollen,
the new silk is unable to. fiji the Office for
which it was designed. The pollen from
the replanted corn is then ready to supply
the silk, and the filling is complied" He
says nearly all the abortive ears, so COM
mon in all corn crops, is caused by want of
pollen, and that he has known ears to
double their size in this second filling.
