Citrus Fruits in California.

From the Kern Gazette
About this time every year our
people are unanimous In the orange
and other tropical trees will not
grow in this section with profit.
We see the tender Trees cut down
by frost, express our disgust, and in
the spring, when warm weather sets
in, we invariably send tor new in
stallments OF tie trees, and watch
with interest to see the old trees,
come up from the roots. The orange
will probably do well here if pro.
perly protected for the first two sea.
sons, but the question arises as to
whether they can be grown pro.
titably with the great amount Of
care that must be bestowed upon
them in the winter. After the trees
arrive at considerable size they
will go through the coolest winter
that we have without protection. In
the yard OF DR.. L. S. Rogers, in
Bakersfield, are three or four trees
that have had no protection tor
several years, unless their position
on the north side OF the house is a
protection. We have observed that
there are a great many different
kinds Of trees that are TOO delicate
to withstand our winters, if stand.

will strike them, that do we'll it pro.
tected from the early sun. Delicate
trees and plants seem to do better
If grown on the north side OF build>
ings than anywhere else On the
McClung range some orange trees
have attained a hight OF some ten
feet, and one OF the trees this year
has several oranges on it. Seeding
oranges seem to do better here than
any of the fine imported varieties,
such as the Mediterranean Sweet,
Malta Blood and others, and we
were shown two last Spring that
stood about eighteen inches high,
that had stood the severe cold OF last
winter without any other protection
than being where the early morning
sun could not strike them, that had
not lost their leaves. From what we
have seen OF the orange we believe
that If any variety Of this tree can be
grown to advantage it will BIZ the
seeding. The banana, lemon and
lime are more easily killed by the
cold thar the orange, and we think
that the idea of cultivating these
fruits here tor profit will have TO be
abandoned.

New Use for SawduSt.

The Lumberman says: We have
been shown a model OF a car wheel
consisting of an iron rim of seven
inches outward diameter by one>half
inch thick, fitted with well proper
toned hub, the space between the
hub and rim filled with pine sawdust,
pressed in so solidly that we are ready
to believe the assertion that resting
the iron rim upon bearings, pressure
equal to twenty.three tons applied
to the hub failed to develop any signs
of weakness. We hesitate in these
days of progress to assert that any
thing is impossible, and we begin to
think that even sawdust possesses
elements of value hitherto unsuspec-
ted, and that the day may come when
the filled grounds adjacent to all
sawmills may be seen to have a great
value In the mechanical development
and utilization OF the now useless
debris placed upon them to get 1t out
of the way. Sawdust car wheels,
sawdust brick, sawdust fence posts,
railroad ties, and even sawdust win.

2. We have asked perhaps twenty
little farmers of late if they smoke
their bacon. They say no; and they
insist that they have real bacon.
8. To the third, we think every
thinking man will say no.
4. Our experience is limited, but
but once in our life we weighed
middling fresh from the hog, 40 lbs;
taken from the brine, 40; sold in Sep
tember, 40. Why should it lose any
thing? Does the oil or fat drip from
it? say no. Does that man who
is dripping3 wet all day long lose
weight, Notwithstanding he may have
lost one gallon OF persplration, say
10 pounds? Surely not. If time
and exposure to the atmosphere de-
tract from its weight, why does it
not drip in hot weather? We see it
only drips from damp, heavy at
mosphere, and only from the rind.
l have no doubt that many a poor
man has sold his little lot of bacon
for one-third less than it's real value,
because it was not smoked, and
therefore not bacon. Hence this
article.
Many a smoke-house, as they are
called, has been burned down by this
useless habit, as we think and we
would advise all hands to have meat
houses instead of smokehouses. Try
it, brother farmers, and it will save
you a deal of trouble, and many
times all you have personal in the
world. Try it, and if it don't work
well, l will make it all right at the
next centennial'if am there.

Turkey Rearing.
Globe.

Globe.
1t is to be feared that the rearing
of turkeys, as well as other poultry,
is too much neglected by the agricul.
turists of this country, and that the
large amount of money which goes out
of England each Christmas in the pur.
chase of these delicacies might, by
the aid of a little reasonable attention
and diligence on the part of the
smaller farmers be kept from the for
eigner. A French paper speaks OF the
turkey as ga necessary accessory to all
intelligent farming" and one of the
highest Importance TO the rural pop
ulation of certain provinces, such as
Burgunday, Berri and Gascony. 1t
need hardly be said that this access
orv was added to the 6dSSe c0ur very
late in the history of modern Europe.
It is popularity supposed to have been
first eaten in France at the grand
royal wedding Of 1870. when TX.
espoused the Princess Elizabeth OF
Austria. The cooks of the Louvre
were on that occasion distracted by
the order to serve up a dozen of these
strange birds, which had been i'm
ported expressly tor the King from
North America. A "Aock" OF them
had been collected at Boston, and
dispatched in a switt-sailing ship,
which landed them, or at least such
of them as survived the voyage, in
the harbor of st. Malo. From this
place they had been forwarded by
postchaise to theEsuperintendent of
the kitchen at the Louvre, by whom
they were duly placed on the spit
and roasted for the nuptial table.

Smoking Bacon.

From the Religious Herald
The Religious Herald of March
31st contains the following:
1. Is smoking, bacon habit, OF is
it absolutely essential to its pertec>
tion
2. Do those farmers ever have any
bacon who never smoke their hog
meat
8. Does smoke add to the real
flavor OF anything we eat? Is smoke
good to eat?
4. How much will Il section of pork
we'll tatted, lose after it is well
trimmed and laid in the brine?
a Herald reader desired intorma>
ton. One intelligent writer, in part
came to bis relief. Another HeroM
reader now proposes to further de.
velop the subject.
l. We have no doubt that smok-
ing bacon is simply habit, and was
handed down to us by the uncivilized
tribes as protection against flies,
etc, tor the want of salt, and that it
is not scientific discovery.

Mulching, Etc.
Itnans coo,uuty Journal

N. ~, in Putnam 0omaty Journal
II has been urged. that mulching
makes an orange tree tender and
more liable to be killed by a freeze.
Believing statement of this kind,
l was kept from mulching for nearly
three years. Then only began by
a trial on few trees at first. l am
satisfied by careful experiment and
observation that no harm can come
to trees on that account if properly
applied. Old trees and young trees,
trees just set out and trees bearing
500 oranges each, have alike been
benefited. Trees that were mulch>
ed during last winter came out Of the
freeze much better than those that
were without mulching. And now
during the present dry weather, with
other trees becoming yellow and
curling the leaf at midday, the mulch
ed trees retain a dark green and
healthy color, and continue growing
Fright along"
The objection that the roots come
to the surface and prevent after cul-
ture with the plow or cultivator in
consequence OF muching is of little
force. | do not think trees should
be plowed or cultivated where mulch
has been or would be applied with
advantage. The hand hoe is the
only tool l should allow near
growing orange tree, and besides any
surface manuring in like manner
causes the roots to develop at the
top of the ground. The few feeding
roots that are cut off in good hoe.
ing no more Injuries the health and
life of the tree than a slight pruning
OF its leaves and branches.
The fact that orange trees will
sometimes grow on poor land has
led to the conclusion that the soil
for a grove need not be very rich. 1t
is possible that the soil may be too
tull of heating fertilizers, but l find
trees to do the best when the ground
will make good cabbages or good
crop of corn. Everything done
should be to the end OF bringing the
soil up to this standard.
In addition to what is said often by
others in favor OF green fertilizing by
growing and turning under cow
peas, l will recommend the growing
of cat-Iail millet. This can be tcut
four times during the season and
thrown around the trees, or into the
spaces between the rows to decay,
and it will afford an immense amount
Of humus which our sandy soil so
much needs.
In the fall or spring the roots may
be put about the trees for mulcning.
A little fertilizer given TO this crop
will largely augment it's value to the
orarge trees.

VennOr'S july Weather.

EfOW uiS ALICfcAleyc.
With July commence a revision
OF my weather forecasts for the last
six months of the year 1881. TO
hold to a prediction made for twelve
months in advance would at the
present state of weather prognosti-
cation only tend to make the whole
attempt ridiculous. The test these
predictions undergo for six months Is
alone a severe one, although it is my
firm conviction that this space Of
time can be covered, and that with
considerable accuracy by sn intelli
gent observance of the leading prln-
ciples connected with the meteoro>
logy OF our country.
believe our present summer is
one in triad of similar summers,
probably the middle one. 1t is like
ly to resemble in its chiet features
that OF 1880 and to differ in some of
its minor details.
The approaching month of July
will enter cool and wet and give a
great deal of rain generally over a
large portion OF the United States
and Canada, while in Great Britain
the weather will in all probability be
likewise stormy and wet. The
storms Of wind, thunder and light
ming are likely to prove severe and
frequent. The heaviest rains for New
York and vicinity / would locate
shortly after the Goth, probably the
21st or 22d. Between the 18th and
10th days an excessively hot term is
probable throughout both Canada
the United States, with additional
severe storms in Western sections.
Within a few days of the close of
July, likely in the neighborhood of
the 9th and 2Sth days, cool to
cold wave may occur, carrying frosts
in Canada and cool weather general>
ly with storms Of wind, hail and rain
over the United States. Where
storms have been severely felt in
Western and Southwestern states
during June, there again will the se>
verest storms OF July be experienced;
notwithstanding, however, these tre-
quent and severe storms during July,
frequent alterations of fine, hot
weather will probably counteract to
great extent the damage done to
grain and other crops in general in
the west.
The entry of July, as above sketch
ed, is likely to be cool and showery
in both Canada and the United
States, and stormy weather, with
return to sultriness, is probable in
proximity 10 the 4th in most Sec
tions. HENRY G. VENNoR. 4.

A WOMAN FALLS OVER THE
BLUFF.
badly Bruised but Not KILLED.

Last night, about half past eight o'clock,
a white woman fell over the railing on the
Bluff, foot of Price street, to the alleYway
below, a distance of some twenty feet. Her
groans attracted the attention of some par
ties, who proceeded to ascertain the
cause and found her lying pros
trate on the stones, In a semi-uncon-
scious condition. Policeman Prindible
was among the first to reach the place, and
at once sent to the police barracks for the
wagon, which arrived In the course Of half
an hour The woman, who had recovered
consciousness, was then placed in the
wagon and sent to the Savannah Hospi-
tai.
Upon examination, it was found that she
was badly bruised about the body and
ankles, but no bones were broken, and unless
she has suffered some internal injury, she
will be all right in few days. No one saw
her fall, and the suppOsition is that she in
tended going down the narrow stairway at
that point, but missing it, tumbled over the
low railing. Her name is given as Mrs. Mary
Jane McLennan, and she is evidently a
stranger in this city, as none of the partie S
who were attracted from the neighborhood
recognized her or remember ever
seeing her before. On reaching
the hospital bottle half
full of whisky was found in her pocket,
and to this stimulant may possibly be at
tributed the accident. She received the
best attention at the hospital, and late last
night showed no serious effects from her
lofty fall.
