Almond Cn1ture IN California.

The soil along the Alameda Creek and
near San Lorenzo, and the prevailing
winds are not so strong. Every almond
orchard in that vicinity has been a
financial success, as a few examples will
show:
The Tyson orchard covers about fifty
acres and is seven years old. The first
heavy crop was in 1876, when the gross
receipts were 500 per acre, of which
over sixty per centum was clear profit.
In 1877 the crop was larger, but the
prices were lower, so the profit remained
about the same. The Baker orchard, of
twenty acres, all young trees, yielded
five tons last year, which were sold at
sixteen cents. Another orchard of less
than eight acres, gave as gross receipts
81, 200 last wear. In all these cases Che
expense Of gathering, cleaning and sack
ing has been brought to the lOWes5
6gure by. she use of labor-saving ma
Chinery. At present three cents per
pound will amply cover these expenses,
and, under favorable circumstances, two
cents will do it.
The gatheriugo the almonds is usually.
paid for by the pound, or under contract,
9 simple and cheap machine, consisting
Of rollers and a eOucaVe, is used for hull
ing. Three men will with this machine
null over three tons a day, or about what
thirty men can gather. This hulling ma
chine leaves the broken husks mingled
with the almonds, which are often
picked out by hand, lJut, by the use Of a
large seive, about one hundred pounds
can be separated per hour. A sitting
machine has been used by some, which
will clean about a ton per day. In these
ways the former heavy expenses attend
ing almond culture are done away with,
and wherevert the almond tree Will grow
and bear we may be sure that il is
profitable.
We have admitted that the almond
Is CapEcious, and does best on rather
dry soil, not too much exposed to wind.
Last year, while the fruit crop was
unusally light, the almond crop wher-
ever heard from was very large The
land which is best for pears, cherries
and currants is not suitable for al.

When a man thinks that nobody cares
for him, and that he is alone in a cold
selfish world, he would do well to ask
himself this question: What have I
done to make anybody care for and love
me, and to warm the world with faith
and generosity? It is generally the case
that those who complain the most have

The friends of the Examiners may
wonder that we have so much to
say concerning thems if we think
them capable and honest. The
trouble is just here. A teacher
thinks of something which he takes
to be of Importance, and calls the at
tentiOn of the class to it. When be
comes to make up his list Of ques-
tions for the examination of teach
ers, that thought is still in his mind,
and crops out IN the questions, much
to the benefit of his own pupils.
For this reason, we think it would
be better to have the questions pre-
pared by a State Board and sentout
to the different counties, the same in
each county. This idea does not
originate with us, as it is the plan
generally. used where they have a
