New California Lemon,

G. p. Rixford, in Pdcifc Ruez
Press, gives the following descM ption
OF new Lemon produced in Calitor-
MIA. He Essays:
lin general appearance and habit
OF growth the tee is not distinguish
able from the common lemon trees in
the same orchard. A closer exami-
nation, however. develops the fact
that it is almost devoid OF therns.
The leaves are broad, oval, acWmi-
nate; margins, irregularly and coarse
ly, but not deeply serrate; petiole,
short and wingIess. Flowers, me-
dium size; petals. five in number,
tinged with reddish violet without
and white within; stamens lin specl-
men turnished9 43, polyadelphous Tor
gathered into sets) towards the base
and of unequal lengths; style, short;
stigma, small. Fruit regular clip
soid,the usual mammeform projection
at the apex entirely wanting, though
terminated by a persistent portion of
the style; skin, smooth and glossy,
very thin, pale yellow and separating
easily from the pulp; glands, large,
with fiat instead of the usual concave
tops; pulp, light colored and d.
vided into seven to eight sections;
cells Of the pulp, large, long, with
stronger walls than in the common
lemon; seeds, small, short, obtusely
pointed, few in number, often entirely
wanting.
The tree was raised by II. N. Hig-
gins, ten miles east of San Diego,
from seed planted in 1872 and pro
dnced its first crop of rs lemons this
season. The tree is now Is feet in
height, with trunk 6 inches in di-
ameter. 1t stands on mesa land and
has been irrigated. The fruit is re
markable for the regularity and
beauty OF its form, and especially for
the thinness OF its skin, which is not

sour, but very strong. Only the
sweet cassava can be used for the pur-
pose, for if Mr.. Champneys was to
happen to get hold of the bitter cas-
sava, Manihot Jti1iSsima, they would
have to make his bier.
Can there be any pathological con-
nection between the American terms
"Cassava" or "Kasava" and the Poly
nesian "Kava" or "Ava," supposed to
be derived from the Sanscrit "Ka,
sya" Intoxicating beverage? Strange
to add, preparing an Intoxicating
liquor from the cassava, or yuka,
(Manihot Aipi, Pohl,) is also prac-
ticed in the interior of Peru, where
the Indians call it "Masato." Antonio
RaimoOdy, in his "Apuntes sobre Ia
Provincial litoral de Loreto,o (Lima
1862, page 1922, gives a circumstase-
tial account of it, which from the
chronological importance, may here be
translated and ought to be compared
with the description of the prepara-
tion of kava furnished by Dr. See0an
in his Witt" (Lendon, 1862, page
S2T ''In order tie get an idea OF the
way iii which this beverage (masato)
is prepared, it is necessary to enter
for moment one OF the great heuses
cfthe heathens of Ucayali on the eve
Of a great festival. On one side are
seen several halfnaked women seated
ION the floor around a heap OF gucas,
and occupied il peeling the skin off
them. On the~other side is a woman
busy in putting the cleaned roots in
pot large enough for a man to fail
into. After ,this has been done, a
small quantity of water is put in the
pot, she yucas are covered over with
leaves, and then boiled when boiled
they are masked. Advanced to
this state they proceed to the most
important, and at the same time most
disgusting, operation. The women,
and in some instances the men also.
sit down once more in circle around
the mashed yucas, taking large hand
fuls OF it inmheir mouths, which they
chew without swallowing until com
pletely satRrated with saliva and al
most become liquid. In this state
the filthy mass is spit out, and the
operation repeated until the required
quantity. is prepared. Atterttais small
portion of,nashed yucca is mixed and
kneaded with the chewedsmass and
then put into pots, which are covered
up till fermentation sets in. The sa-
Iva contained in the mashed yucca
produces fermentation, ,chaDges the
starch into sugar, and the sugar into
ialcohol-a process, which, according
to the state OF the temperature and
the existing quantity of saliva, takes
place in two, three, or toM. days.
This fermented mass accompanies the
Indians on all their journeys. When
wishing to prepare from it their dis
gasting beverage, it is dissolved with
q little water"

Yucca EilamentOsa and Yucca
Alneinlia.

This is commonly known as Bear
Grass and Spanish Dagger, and is a
native of India, described by Royles
in his work ON " Fibrous Plants of
Indiap" page 81 published in London
in 1855, also ".Squire's Tropical FL
bers, their Production and Economic
Extraction" page 81, and is now
found growing in all the Southern
States and Mexico; is large spear
leaved growth, dark evergreen, the
blades or leaves from halt-inch to
two inches bread, generally about
fourteen inches long, and by cultiva
ton can be grown to six feet in
length, and contains very valuable
fiber, tor the purpose OF making bag
ging, ropes, mating and all species
of coarse cloths. The fiber can be
readily obtained by means of ma
chinerys by which the green leaves
are thoroughly mashed, and then
passed through a process of washing
which removes all extraneous sub
atances, leaving the fiber as white as
Irish linen and ready for market.
The waste by cleaning is less than
one-tenth
SOIL FOR YUCCA.
The plant thrives best in rich soils
growing to greater length and
stronger fiber but coarser, and in
sandy and poor clay soil, grows
shorter and OF a finer quality, and is
known to grow on the highest piney
woods hill and in the lowest bot
tom lands. Tie Cocoa or Wire
Grass has no effect whatever on It's
growth, neither is it affected by over
flow. Anywhere south OF thirty
one degrees, after the first years
planting, it will produce two crops a
year, and yield from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-tive hundred pounds marketable
ilber per acre at each crop.
HOW PLANTED AND PRoPAGATED.
The Yucca is propagated by plant
ing the roots or seed any time in the
Fall, Winter or Spring. The Yucca
Ai@folla also may be propagated by
planting the stalk, cut in pieces, and
planted like Irish potatoes. The
Yucca Filamentosa has a dubious
root, resembling sweet potato, and
may be planted similarly, and needs
no replanting for one hundred years.
There are patches of the Yucca now
growing in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, in the woods and briers, where
the sun has not shown on them prob
ably for sixty years, and there are
others growing on lawns, known to
have been planted. more than one

A Valuable Whitewash.

Whitewash is one of the most val
liable articles in the world when.
properly applied. 1t prevents not
only the decay of wood, but con.
duces greatly to the healthfulness of
all buildings, whether wood or stone.
Out. buildings and fences, when not
painted, should be supplied once or
twice year with good coat of
whitewash, which should be pre-
pared in the following way:
Take clean, water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it a
halfbushel Of lime, Slack it by
pouring water on it, boiling hot, and
in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it Drisklv till
thoroughly Stacked. When the Slack
ing has been Effected, dissolve it in
water, and add two pounds of sui.
phate of zinc, and one of common
salt, These will cause the wash to
harden and prevent its cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance
to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream
color may be communicated to the
above wash, by adding three pounds
of ochre, or a good pearl color by
the addition Of lamp, vine, or ivory
black. For fawn color, add four
pounds Of umber, Turkish or Amer
lean, one pound of Indian red, and
one pound Of common lampb.ack.
For common stone color add four
pounds of raw lumber, and two
pounds Of lampblack. This wash
may be applied with com
mon whitewash brush, and will
be found much superior both in ap-
pearance and durability to common
white wash.
