The Duke and the Dude,
Family Harald.l


The following story is told of an En-
glish noblemap, recently deceased:
"The duke was once in church wher
collection was announced for soms
charitable object. The plate began tt
go round, and the Duke carefully put
his hand into his pocket and took oui
form, which he laid on the pew be
fore him, ready to be transferred to tht
plate. Beside him sat little snob
who noticing this action, initiated it by
ostentatiously laying sovereign
alongside the ducal-for This wa,
too much for his Grace, who dipped his
hand into his pocket again and
pulled out another forin, which he laid
by the side of the first. The little snol
followed suit by laying another sover
eign beside the first. His Grace quietly
added third forin, which was capped
by third sovereign on the part Of tn,
little snob. Out came fourth form t.
swell the Dukes donation, and then th.
little snob triumphantly laid three SOW
ereigns at once upon the board. Th,
Duke, not to be beaten, produced thre,
tiorins. Just at that moment the plat,
arrived. The little snob took up hi.
handful of sovereigns, ostentatiously rat
tied them into the plate, and then turned
defantly toward his rival as if he would
say, 4 think that takes the shine out oi
you Fancy his chagrin when the Duke,
with a grim smile, put one form into
the plate and quietly swept the remain-
ing six back into his pocket"

The Queen Olive.

The history of the introduction OF
the Queen olive into Los Angeles is full
Of interest. Mr.. B. b. Eedding, Land
Agent of the Central and Southern Pa.
cific Railways, and United States Fish
Commissioner, who did a vast amount
OF gratuitoSs service for the State of
California, while travelling in Italy, in
1872, observed the vast importance of the
olive to the support of the people. He
accordingly purchased, near Rome, a
dozen olive trees Of the "Picholenen or
Queen olive. the largest and fairest
fruit of that kind in that Kingdom
These be brought with scrupulous care
through France and England, and across
the Atlantic in mid-winter, preserving
them from frost till he encountered the
terrible SHOWS Of March, 1873, on
the summit of the Rocky noun
tains. In this dilemma he
gave the porter of the car
the care of ten of the little trees, while
with prudence and provision of danger
he took two of them into bed with him
to preserve them from frost by the heat
of his body. 1t was well that he did
so, for the porter fell asleep and let the
fire go out and his ten little plants were
frozen to death in the car. The two lit
tie plants that he nursed and cherished
in his bosom he brought home at last to
Sacramento, where he had them planted
and propagated very successfully. From
the growth Of these two little trees,
Mr.. G. T. Hopkins, President of the
California Insurance Company, pur-
chased in 1880, twelve hundred olive
trees two years old, nine hundred of
which are now growing at Pasadena, on
lands advertised for sale in the HERALD.
and form the largest Queen olive or
chard in California.
Mr.. Redding was a rare and valuable
citizen, who has now gone to his rest,
but the beautiful olive grove at Pasa-
dena will keep in eternal verdure to
future generations, monument to his
faith. and patience and labor, and to
his honored memory.

Give the Vines More Room.


Some of the old vineyards in the San
Gabriel Valley that have been bearing
fruit for one hundred years, have not
been yielding heavily for the three last
years Of light rainfall. These vinese are
planted only six feet apart and their
long roots are interlaced and struggling
with each other for moisture and sus-
tenance, which are not equal 10 their
full support. These vines are attempt
ing to commit homicide ON each other.
BY cutting out every second row the
amount OF moisture In the soil will be
doubled to each vine, and the
fertilizing elements Of the soil will
also be increased in the same way.
The vines removed will make excellent
fire wood and the expense of pruning
will be reduced one half II this rem
edy does not sufficiently increase the
size and yield of the remaining vines
then cut out every other vine in these
remaining rows and give the vines a
chance for their lives They will be
quite near enough together then at
twelve feet apart. At Santa Barbara
there is Mission grape vine, the
branches of which are supported by
trellis timbers, and it has this year pro-
duced three tons Of grapes. This is
more than thousand Mission vines
have produced this year in many Of the
closely planted vineyards of the olden
time.
Now, is it not reasonable that 1t is
less trouble to take care of one vine, or
even ten vines, than it is to take care OF
1000 vines spread over an acre of ground?
There is no manner OF doubt, from va
rious illustrations shown of the growth
and yield of the vine when it has had
no competition, that ten vines on half
acre of land can be made to yield more
grapes than 1000 vines on an acre OF
land. 1t is not an uncommon sight to
see ton Of grapes on single vine in
this city, where the vine is alone and
has all the soil within reach of its roots
to feed upon.
What more evidence is needed of the
propriety of giving more room to the
grape vine, which grows to such sur
prising proportions in California? Is it
not cheaper to take care of ten vines
than 1000, Will not some vineyardist
take half an acre OF land and plant it
with ten vines, which shall be trained
up on timbers and given chance to do
their best? Give them good care and
attention, and see if they do not exceed |
the product of an old vineyard six feet
apart, at the end of four years. The
experiment is easily tried and certainly
should be. Who will do it first.

A Dangerous Blast.

The work of grading the lots belong
ing to Mr.. Beaudry, on Temple street,
near the old Pavilion lot, is now going
on actively and dangerously. On Tues
day the workmen drilled hole about
twenty feet deep, and twenty feet back
from the front of the bank, which is
about twenty-seven feet high, and, it is
said, put IN first charge of giant pow
der, then a charge of three kegs of black
powder, and set off the blast, which
shook the whole earth around like an
earthquake, and did some damage in the
neighborhood. In Mr.. B. F. Coulter's
house great CONSERVATION was caused.
On Wednesday the contractors,
Messrs. Davis and Harrison, put in a
small chambered blast next to the steep
stairs, and but little above the sidewalk.
This did but little execution, as also did
the former blast above. Blast No. 4
seemed to be surprise to the contrac-
tors and damage to the neighborhood.
1t was put in about two feet deep. not
far from blast exploded on Monday,
but had not so large a charge as that
blast combined. This blast was full of
mischief. 1t was too far back from the
front to split off the bank, as expected,
but sent up shower of slate rock that
did mischief in all directions. The rock
was thrown in large volume across the
street and into the houses through
doors and windows. obstructing the
street and Tightening the women of the
neighborhood half to death.
The two houses Of Mr. Mueller were
damaged to the extent of 500. One
chunk Of rock. that would weigh about
500 pounds, struck the caves of the
corner house, crashing down through
on to the fence, which it also crushed
without breaking the piece of shale
rock which looked as if it could be
easily broken.
One man and horse were injured. The
man was standing by the contractor
Davis, and at the explosion sprang
in front of the horses, which alao
started, and the wagon ran over his
feet, but no bones were broken. A
large lump Of earth struck one of the
horses on the head, but did not knock
him down. The team attempted to run
away but were caught. The horse ap-
pears seriously hurt.
Mr.. Harrison who oversees the blast
ing is an experienced miner and used to
blasting, but he did not seem to under,
stand the character of this half matured
slate rock, which is a treacherous shale
of no fixed principles. 1t is evident
that the two drill holes were too close
together, and too far from the margin
of the bank.
The Chief Of Police should stop blast
ing in the city, in the vicinity of dwell
ing houses, or of much.traveled high
ways. Some parties that were passing
along Temple street at the time of the
explosion. narrowly escaped with their
lives. The risk to life and property is
too great to permit such blasts in future
They might be all right in the noun
tains. but are all wrong in the city.

There is much being said, and in good
time and temper about the destruction
Of the codlin moth. The electric
lights are destroying great many, but
every tree cannot have an electric light
to catch these enemies of mankind. A
very effectual remedy is found in smear
ing ring of printers ink around the
trunk of the fruit trees to catch the
worms that go on the bark to burrow
and change into moths. This plan
works very well in New England and
can easily be tried here. Let no rea-
sonable effort be omitted by the orchard
lists Of California to stamp out this com.
mon enemy. All should work in unison
against the common foe.

The District Attorney has instructed
the Chief of Police to take all persons
arrested for violating the laws of the
State. before regularly elected mssis-
trate, and not before the Mayor. He
considers it not his duty as public pros
ecntor OF the county to prosecute par
ties before the Mayor, who is consid-
cred only authorized by law to act as a
magistrate in cases where the offence
was committed against the ordinances Of
the city. In the latter cases the City
Attorney is the proper prosecutor. City
Justice Morgan will hold entire control
Of his courtroom during business hours,
so If the Mayor holds court he must
occupy some different room from that
occupied by the City Justice.

vegetables

Nearly every one is aware Of the fact
that various kinds of vegetables raised
on our high brush lands near the noun.
tains, and especially in the vicinity OF
the Cahuenga, are immensely profitable,
but we believe that II is not very well
known that the colder and moister lands
below the city are just as profitable, the
only difference being in the fact that
early crops, like tomatoes, etc., which
are raised on the mesas, are later. We
are acquinted with gentleman who has
but twelve acres OF land, five of which
are in almond and peach trees. leaving
but seven acres to vegetables, which are
rotated and cultivated the year around.
About three acres are devoted to pota.
toes, of which two crops are raised
yearly, but on different parts
OF the ranch, with the system
Of rotation. An acre is devoted to lima
beans, and another to frBoles, leaving
two acres for various small root crops,
such as carrots and garlic, the latter
being very profitable, bearing well, and
bringing good price. Although it is
not liked by every one, the profit of
raising it is considerable. The vegeta-
bles mentioned have made the owner Of
the farm very well fixed, yet he has been
cultivating it but three years, employs
but one boy besides himself, and sells
his products personally to our city green
grocers. Of from half acre of pota-
toes in the Summer crop 500 was net
ted. At present planting potatoes, cab
bages and green peas, our winter vege-
tables, is going on and nearly fin
ished. The HERALD has always main
timed that our brush lands were enor-
mou-ly profitable for vegetable raising,
but all that is necessary on lower lands
is to raise vegetables in the season nee
essary, potatoes twice year, and dur
ing the frosty season, cabbages, green
peas, turnips, carrots, etc. There is
money in it, and plenty of it.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-10-18
The Vintage.

The grape harvest is about half fin
ished. So far as results have been as
certained, the Mission grape has with
stood the heated terms Of June and
September remarkably well, while the
newly introduced foreign varieties have
not made good yield. The old vine
yards do not appear to have yielded a
full crop while the new vines just be
ginning to fruit have supplied the de-
ficiency and surplus besides, so that
the yield of Los Angeles will be fully up
to the average amount or more. In the
northern counties there ia not more than
half crop, but Los Angeles county al
ways brings out good crop Of grapes
every year.
The fact is now well established that
the grape crop is surer aud heavier in
Los Angeles and San Bernardino coun-
ties than in any other part Of the State.
The soil seems to have thevery elements
which the grape vine needs, and as a
consequence these two counties sur
pass all Others in the quality and quaint
ity Of the grapes produced. This very
important fact is inducing the viticul-
turists of the northern part Of the State
to change their base OF operations from
the upper counties to this section OF the
State.
Another consideration is the climatic
difference between the upper counties
and those in the south part Of the State.
The rainy season begins in Yolo and
other neighboring counties about three
weeks earlier than in Los Angeles, San
Bernardino and San Diego counties.
This fact demonstrates the great SUI
periority Of this part of the State over
any other for the curing of raisins. The
raisin industry is assuming large pro-
portions, and must become one of the
greatest industries Of Southern Cali
fornia, and with the advantage of three
weeks of dry weather on the side Of the
southern counties their superiority in
raisin production is assured, and the
value of grape land made permanent
and satisfactory.
Owing to the heavy shipment of Mus
cat grapes to the East, the increase
OF raisins made this year, over
those of last year will be
small, while the increase in population
of the State and nation win more than
make market for the increase in the
raisin crop. The shipments from the
Santa Ana valley in 1878 were 1885
pounds; in 1879, $3.50 pounds; in 1880.
26, 900 pounds; in 1851, 80. 900; in 1882,
Sc, 900; and in 1888, estimated at 10000
pounds. The Pasadena shipments have
increased but moderately. Riverside
has steadily increased, and will probably
ship about 10000 pounds; possibly,
IN. 600 pounds, if the rains hold off.
This supply Of raisius is small part of
the amount required for the country,
and will all be taken at full prices. On
the whole, the vintage is success this
year. The grapes have brought good
price, and the demand for wine continues
good Raisins will always be standard
crop in this part of the country, and
there is no prospect of over-producing
good article.
