Tunnelinp for Water.

Tunneling is new method of obtain
ing water for irrigating purposes, and
it has been very successful in some
cases. 1t can only be resorted to where
there is range of hills near the land to
be irrigated. The San Bernardino In
deT mentions recent case in which
good results were obtained in this way.
A farmer named Rubottom has owned
160 acres of dry land, just west of Sono-
ra, for good while, and it has hereto
fore been considered rs good for winter
pasturage and cereals only. Not long
ago he determined to tunnel into the
range of hills, part of which his land
covered, in the locality above mention
ed, and drift of 100 feet tapped liv-
ing stream which will furnish enough
water to rrgate 800 acres. The IndeI
adds: "What further argument is nee
essary to convince people of thus OBJ
tanning water? There are hundreds
and hundreds of acres within distance
of from six to fourteen miles of San
Bernardino on which il is believed that
water can be obtained by both tunnels
and deep artesian wells, and much of it
is government land, too. San Fran

Prenaring Fruit for Mark I.


ssFarmers are cheats, We heard q
CITY man remark the other day. 81 do
not buy a basket of strawberries that
has not the best and biggest on top, ana
when the peach season com :. get
dozen or two of fine peaches on top,
while the rest of the basket IS Tiled with
small. green, gnarled fruit; they are all
cheats" The very next day after hear
ing this remark, we were among the
fruit commission houses. and in one
place saw some young men, VINO had
bought several crates OF fruit to peddle.
They had n lot of smaller baskets. TO
which they transferred the berries from
the larger ones they had bought. and rs
they filled these, they topped them with
the larger berries with surprising dex-
terity. We concluded that all the
cheating, in strawberries ut least, was
not done by the farmers. That there is
much "deaconing" 0he market phrase
for topping) of peaches and other fruits.
we do not doubt, yet the tendency is all
in the other direction. Take peach.
growers, for example. those who are
regularly in the business, and expect to
continue it, strive to make their brand
upon crate or basket n guarantee OF
honest packing. This is insisted on at
all the meetings of peach-growers; only
recently we received the transactions OF
a fruit-growers' society in North Caro-
lima in which this point, honest pack
ing, was dwelt upon at great length.
"Honesty is the best policy" is not
proverb of the highest moral tone, as it
implies that it pays to be honest, but
the peach-growers are willing to adopt
it, In packing peaches, the first point
should be to assert them, making as
MANY grades as the condition OF the
fruit requires. When brought to the
packing shed, the fruit is at once thinly
spread in the shade, in order that it
NAV cool as much as possible. In as
sorting. any that are at all soft are put
aside, to be left at home; then two or
three qualities, extras, firsts and sec
onds. are made, and with the best
growers, the packages of each are alike
all through. 1t is allowable to turn the
colored sides of the top layer upper
most, in order that the fruit may APP
pear at its best. but not to select large
specimens for the top layer. Those who
! send peaches to market for the frst
!. time, will find it to their advantage to
observe this rule. In packing grapes
for market, the box is opened at the
bottom, fine large punches are laid in
and the box is filled up with smaller
punches. This is done in order that
the fruit, when the top is taken off, may
D present good appearance, and if the
filling is done with good fruit. even il
3 not the most select, there is no harm
: done. But if, as is sometimes the case,
: poorly ripened fruit, and even loose
berries are used to fill up, the grower
] will in time find that his brand is no

Hydrophobia,

| For some time M. Pastcur, the French
investigator, has been experimenting
with view of discovering whether the
fatal infection of rabies can be disarm
ed of its power by incubation. 1t il
! said that he now possesses four dogs
| which are proof against the infection,
whatever may be the method of inocu.
lation used or the virulence of the
matter, while other dogs inoculated
with the same virus invariably perish.
The expe imenter raises the question
whether these four animals owe their
impunity TO spontaneous recovery from
a mild attack, which may have escaped
observation, or whether they are natur-
ally refractory to the disease. One of
the three dogs which he inoculated in
1881 survived, and though twice inocu-
lated in 1882. he did not become rabid.
The Importance of finding remedy for
all forms of hydrophobia is magniiied
by two facts brought to light by the re-
searches of NJ. Bert. One of these is
that even if the saliva of q mad dog
does not communicate rabies it NAV
prove fatal by producing serious local
injuries-in other worus. the secretions
of rabid animals have poisonous prop
critics over and above the special rabic
virus. The second fact is that it does
not follow because dog which has Bit
ten any person does not die that the
animal is free from rabies. These con-
illusions will add TO the terrors of the
disease. But there is some consolation
in learning from M. Bert that the mere
salivas of rabid dogs do not always
communicate the deadly virus. and APP
parently never communicate it unless
they contain the mucus from the respir-
atory organs, which seems to be the ia
tai portion of the saliva.
