A FOREST OF FRUIT TREES.
Twenty Thousand Trees in Bios
som.

One of the largest fruit orchards
in the State is situated between one
and two miles south of Yuba City,
and is the enviable property of S. c.
Briggs, one of the pioneer Briggs
Bros, of fruit notoriety. Mr.. Briggs
purchased this ranch three or four
years ago, and commenced planting
his orchard from the best varieties
to be found in the East and in Cali
fornia,
The orchard embraces the follow
ing trees a large majority of them
bearing this season.: Peaehes-S,000
peach trees, embracing 16 varieties,
the first ripening as early as the last
week in May, and the last as late a
December. The favorite original
tree is called "Red May" and there
are 1900 of these trees in blossom.
Apricots-3,O0O trees, all bearing,
and II varieties. They have been
nipped slightly by frosts, but if
there are no more the crop will be a
fine one. CherrieS-there are 1000
trees, of IL varieties, all large, some
measuring a foot in diameter, pre-
senting a magnificent view.
Plums-there are 1000 trees,
and ID varieties, a majority of them
productive this year. The 1900
apple trees, of 8 varieties, are large
and will yield plentifully. Pears
1000 pear trees, thrifty and rank,
mostly Bartletts, are very promising.
Cherry-plums - there are l,5OO
cherry-plum trees, heavily loaded
with fruit, and a big yield antlcipa-
ted-the first fruit of the season.
June plums-l50 trees, all looking
finely. The proprietor has also
growing 1900 walnut trees, 3 varie-
ties, which look well. The oldest
trees are three or four years of age,
and the youngest are just starting
from dormant buds.
The ranch contains 426 acres of
upper and bottom land, 2lO acres of
which compose an immense forest
OF fruit trees, reaching a distance of
a mile in one direction, and three
quarters of a mile in another, the
trees standing but twelve feet apart.
The soil is a light sandy loan, and
the proprietor runs three plows
regularly to maintain proper cult
walton. No newspaper description
"a do justice and give anything
like a correct description of this
great genealogical forest, consisting
of about twenty thousand fruit trees,
all putting on their spring foliage
and decorated with thousands of
variegated hues.
We have no conception of the
number of pounds of fruit this ORCH
ard will yield the next few months,
By a low estimate, it is safe to say
that il will require over 100, 900 box
es to market the crop. Mr.. Briggs
expects to have peachesin the mark
ct at least fifteen days in advance of
orchards in other parts of the State.
He will have but two agencies, one
at Sacramento, for the eastern trade
and one at San Francisco for that
market. The cost of this orchard,
including lands, goes somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The
cost of land, outimprovements,
was about 81, 600. The receipt
this year, with a fair market, will
be immense, The value of this
property is about $4,000. The en-
terprising and preserving proprietor
deserves all the financil success he
is about to r~eceive-NdyysriHe Ap-

THE Herald wants Mayor Chase
to appoint only square-toed Demo-
cratic policemen. lnasniuch as
seven-eighths Of our present police
force are Of that p~olicical complex
ion, we should hardly think the pre-
cedent commends a repetition.
Seriously speaking We hope Mayor
Chase will make his appointments
according to the qualifications, and
not according TO the politicalaffillia-
ton of the men. Omaha needs,
above all things, radical reform in
her police department, and that
can only be obtained by placing
competent honest and sober men as
guardians of the pnblic peace.

HE EpTToR OF TIE HERALD:-

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Among the thousands watching your efforts TO
check mismanagement in our benevolent societies
none more heartily wish you success than some OF
the managers themselves; for nothing more eff
fectualy cripples the straightforward, whether as
managers or as employees, tnan the manpuvres Of
those who will secure control and turn 1T TO their
own advantage.
IN societies, as elsewhere, the wheat and the
tares grow together" and often look SO much
alike that 1t requires careful observation to tell
which is which. STILL where numbers need food,
clothing, shelter and employment they can be
aided so much more promptly by united action
than by Isolated effort that every one who wishes
"the greatest good of the greatest number should
learn how to distinguish between them.
Tricky managers know so well how TO select
sGbordinates and "coworkers, how to give favor
able aDressiopst TO reporters and popular speakers,
