wears the alternate trees must be cut
out, OF serious injury viii follow.
Just word on this cutting'out
plan. We know Of several VINO
plant 1e feet one way and is feet the
other, saying that they are planting
for themselves and not for posterity.
They are planting for themselves TO
DIG up if they live long enough to
realize full crop After the first
full crop, the odd trees will be crowd
ed out, and it will be seen that they
must 90. Then comes the labor OF
cutting out, and worse yet the bother
with the roots. Add to this, that the
strength of the ground has been
largely exhausted by the doomed
tree and the amount OF enrlchlng
needed to bring the soil up to Its or
iginal productiveness will be the logl-
cal G straw" that will break this ar
gumentative camers back. The late
3. D. Wilson, the pioneer San ga
briel orange grower, used to say that
30 feet apart was nearer right than
less and IN fact his later orchards
were planted on that basis The
beautiful, useful and noble looking
orange tree Is the king of fruit trees
Give it room, stunt not its energies,
cramp not it's expansive tendencies,
Let it toss its outmost glistenlng
twigs in the free, pure air, kissing the
crystal blue sky bending down to
meet it. 1t is growing, strengthen,
ing, expanding daily for your benefit
and ours-deal literally with it and
your soul shall be made fat on its
juicy and abundant fruit. "Room
for the victor, room. "-RiUers'de

Zoo Close by Half.

We don't refer to the old fashioned
sleigh ride down East" where it
was usually very necessary to sit
close together lin fact the'9seat used
to be made too narrow, we thought)
and the young ladies never objected
that we overheard OF, but to the quite
prevalent custom of planting too
many orange trees on an acre of
ground. When we came to River
side, 25 feet was considered the right
distance for oranges and lemons and
10 or 12 feet 'for lines. That was
the usual distance in the orchards in
the Mission grounds, and old Califor-
MIA orchards generally, and the outer
branches OF the. trees were observed
to very nearly Or quite touch each
other at that short distance; but with
the introduction of budding change
took kplaee. Travellers in Italy stated
that the custom there was to put
them only Is feet apart, the quincunx
being preferred; and mature trees
were stated to have room enough.
In the Levantit would appear, that
budded oranges do not attain any
thing near the size of Seeding trees
and therefore did not need so much
room but in Southern California it is
still an open question, whether our
Dudded trees will not require as
much room as the seedlings-at least
the 70 feet granted the latter, The
conditions of soil, climate and water
with us are different from the Med
lterranean countries and may result
IN giving US larger tree of the same
species. In land like onrs, where
the ordinary productions of agricul-
ture and horticulture so far exceed in
size and vigorous growth those of
many other countries, it is at least
worth considering, whether the re-
suit OF our very fine and careful sys-
TEN OF cultivation may not exceed
our expectations in regard to size, as
well:as quality. Is it safe to plant
them SO near together, that we al
ready suspect they may touch each
other at II years of age? Is it not
wiser to give them so much room that
we shall feel sure the tops and roots
will have abundance of unappropria-
ted earth and air ? Some orchards
in Riverside, display seeding trees

result can follow. In a very few

fine and Imprisonment as shall afford
complete protection to the producer
the honey dealer and the consumer.
Steps should be once taken TO Ell
feet this desirable result, before
some other unprincipled honey dealer
shall cause Great Britain to give us
the second slap in the face through
their leading papers, by branding us
as a set of swindlers, and warning the
English people against the use OF
American honey.
A petition setting forth this matter
in its true light should be presented
to Congress at the next session. All
the members of the National Con-
vention, including all dealers in hon
ey should be asked to sign this petl-
ton, and refusal from any cause
whatever, should be regarded as ia,
vorable to honey adulteration, and
producers should be warned against
selling such persons their honey
Such petition, praying for so laud-
able an object, and backed by so
many honorable names, could hardly
fail in obtaining the desired law,
when extracted honey would at once
advance to its true position in all our
markets. Bee-keepers everywhere
should be united in bringing about
these needed reforms, and initiating
the politicians, should " keep it before
the people" till the end is attained.
The journals devoted to bee-keeping
should be bold and outspoken on tbs
subject, regardless OF all present EN-,
oluments for contrary course, and
for one, | here and now peldge the
Bee-Keepers Magazine to this policy
without the least equivocation or
mental reservation, and expect to
see friend Newman, of the A. B. a.,
join hands, and then, by rising vote,
test the sense of this Association, and
thus make a significant stride in the
true progress of bee-keeping in this
country.

A New Plan for a Smoke House.

In conversation with friend, the
other day, he gave me a description
of q smoke house-which he saw once
while travelling through Texas. AS
the arrangement was quite newto me
and may prove beneficial to your
readers I will give you his destrip-
ton. The house was frame build
inc about fourteen by eighteen feet
square with walls twelve feet high.
There were three sets of .jolsts run
ming across the building one above
. the other commencing eight feet from
the noor ana UnUJ "o4~ l,1-.osS1 ..uosso
four feet apart in each tier. For con-
venience in hanging up the meat a
large number Of lath one and one
fourth inch by three inches aud four
and one half feet in length, each lath
had an inch hole bored through the
center from each edge and from ten
to twelve inches apart. In trimming
up the peach and plum orchard, the
limbs which were of suitable size and
which had side limb which could
be cut so as to make a fork were
sawed into lengths ten inches long
and the fork two and one-half inches
these were inserted in the holes and
made so as to turn around easily and
six penny nail driven through the
limb above the lath. The advantage
OF this is that the person, standing
on a ladder, can hold on to the fork
to steady himself and turn it in any
direction to suit the meat. Around
the side Of the house Were posts
seven feet high, of octagonal shape
with wooden pins FIVE feet long, two
and half on each side) and placed
spirally, and far enough apart to
keep the meat from dripping on
that which hangs on the lower arms.
When the meat on the ioists over
head was fully cured and smoked it
was taken down, and hung on the
arms of these posts and a large can
vass bag made for the purpose was
pulled over the post completely COW
ering the meat and keeping it free
from insects, doing away with the
necessity of packing away in char
coal, sawdust, salt, etc. The only
trouble in getting at the meat was
untying the draw string at the bot
tom and raising the sack.
I am indebted to Capt. III. F. Long
of this place for the above plan. He
says it is much superior to the old
plan of hanging meat upon nails or
tying up with bark and strings, and
l fully believe your readers will coin
eide with him. ------
