Profits Of Fruit Culture,

Cslifornians not only report i'm
mense yields of fruit in the State, but
also very large profits. For instance,
the San Jose Argus says of fruits ia
that part of the State: Five acres of
prunes, eight years old, yielded net
profit OF $1,000; two acres OF Bartlett
pears, twelve years old, shipped East,
net profit of $500; two acres OF
prunes, dried and packed, net profit
of $500. At the prices paid for straw.
berries last year, they would net the
producer something over $500 per acre;
black berries, $3.50 to $500 per acre; pie
plant, which Is extensively grown OF
the garden lands adjacent TO San Jose
and Santa Clara, will net about 500
per acre; asparagus, also extensively
cultivated for the San Francisco mar
ket. 1900 per acre; grapes, eight -years
old, from 500 to $500 per acre; currents
and raspberries, of which the anita
Clara Valley produces enormous quan
titles, $500. The cherry crop is the ii
nest ia the State.
We can remember that some very
similar reports about fruit-grOwing il
the Atlantic States once found thei
way into the papers, and in fact sOmt
of them were really true; but, untOrtu
nately for the cuItivator and fortunate
ly for the consumer, just so soon as !
was fairly shown that money could b
made in fruit culture, a hundred start
ed out in the business where formerl,
there were but one, or perhaps half
dozen. The results were an Over-prO
ductiOn, the markets glutted, and pri
ees far below profitable point. ThOs
who were able TO hold on and stand Al
occasional loss, while their weaker RI
walls were being driven from the field
came out safely in the end; but tier
are comparatively few who can or Car
to do this. Hence the frequent fluctus
tions in both prices and supplies of Va
rious kinds of fruits. There is no dOut

ATobacco Circular

The Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enve has addressed circular to collec-
tors in regard to the manufacture OF
tobacco, snuff and cigars, in which he
says: "In making explanations to this
Office of apparent differences in the
accounts of the transactions of tobacco
and cigar manufacturers the allegation
is not unfrequently made that discrep-
ancies both In material accounts and in
The disposition maue Of manufactured
products are owing largely to two
causes: First, the tobacco and cigars
which are given away by the manu-
facturer as samples, and which do not
appear in his account of sales; second,
the quantity of manufactured product
and oftentimes of rev material which
are used or consumed, or removed for
the use of consumption by operatives
without the knowledge or consent OF
the manufacturer. The first of these
causes is entirely within the control oi
the manufacturer. He has no more
right to remove the manufactured to-
baccO or cigars for samples from the
place of manufacture, or to allow them
to be SO removed without properly
packing and stamping the same and
reporting such removal than he has to
sell or remove them for sale or con-
sumption without compliance with
tine law in this regard. and not only
will no credit be given to the manufac.
ture for goods so removed, but all such
goods will be regarded as removed in
violation of that portion of the law
which prohibits the removal of tobacco
and cigars without the payment of the
tax thereon.
"It may not be SO easy for the manu-
facturer to control removals of the sec
ond class. He is nevertheless RESPONSE

Journalism and Machine Teach

We think the following as appropri

room:
II is necessary to have form and sys.

few and the pupils are many. 1t may
be necessary to call classes and dismiss
schools with military exactness, or t.
point out errors as with the finger oil
fate, or to note misdemeanOrs with the
exactness of the recording sngeI; but
when routine is SO marked as to hide a
want Uf earnestness or preparation ON
the part of the teacher, and to tend to.

the part of the pupils, it very largely
abridges the benefits OF school work.
Such teaching has this charm about

ner." To be thoughtful is one thing.
to teach Others to think is different and
difficult. But let the teacher 90 back
in his own mind and analyze, step byI
step, the process which led to his Cwn
success, and let him study, and under
stand and sympathize with his pupils:
and let him come before his pupils fresh
from the study of the subject, and it
will be almost impossible to have q
dull recitation. The attention and
curiosity must first be aroused, and
must not be allowed to flag.
