The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1883-06-09

THE catalogue of the University,
FOR the present year, is on our table.
The subject matter is arranged in an
entirely different manner from that
of former catalogues, the change be-
ing rendered necessary on account of
the substitution Of the school system
for the curriculum. The catalogue
shows an enrolment Of 159, which,
though not quite SO large as that Of
last year, is still large enough to en-
courage the friends Of the University.
One Of the most important features
of this catalogue is the appendix
containing Prof. /. G. Whites report
of the geological trip taken by him
and his class, last year, together with
some copious notes on the geology Of
West Virginia. The catalogues are
published by C. H. fancy, State
Printer, and are models Of typogra-
ply. PC

is being finished.
We have been furnished the pro

Orange Wine

The HERALD has repeatedly called
attention to the waste of various
products of the orange, which are con-
sidered valuable in other countries, and
even in Florida; notably, the peel and
blossoms. The use of oranges unfit to
ship, or windfalls, etc., for orange wine,
has also been mentioned, but, although
a popular mode of utilizing these
oranges in Europe, has not. we believe,
been tried in this country, except in
Florida, whereft has been as successful
a. in Europe, avoiding the loss of fruit
too ripe to ship. There is no reason
why it can not be successful here, if
carefully tried. The recipe for making
it used In Florida is as follows: AFTER
expressing the juice. strain it through a
piece of the finest cloth; then add two
gallons of pure rain water to each gallon
of juice; mix carefully and then add
three pounds of sugar to each gallon of
the mixture, fermsnting in the usual
way. After six months fermentation,
draw of and bottle"
The recipe is certainly simple, and
should be tried by some of our enter
prising orohardists. If successful it
would be great saving to orange grow
ers, inasmuch as there would be little
waste or loss Who will make the first
experiment?

A Chance for Our Nimrod.

From the subjoined item which we clip
from the San Bernardino Inden of June
30sh, it will be seen that the bee men
in the neighborhood of Lyle Creek are
suffering from the incursions of grizzly
bears. As relief we would suggest to
them to call upon our friend Judge Brun-
son, who is the most accomplished and
successful bear hunter in this section OF
California. At least whenever the focks
and herds of Col. Charley Thomas, Of
Hemmet valley. San Diego county, are
being raided by grizzlies, he generally
calls upon the Judge, with the result
that, during his visits. the bears are
either exierminated. or, knowing the
prowess of our legal friend, desert that
section and seek less dangerous quarters.
We would advissAe denizens of Lytle
Creek to callSapon Judge Brunson. as
there is nothing he so much delights in
as killing bears:
Grizzly bears have been playing smash
about Etiwanda and Lyle Creek. A
bee man at the cienega, north of Ell
wanda, on opening his door the other
morning, saw a big grizzly at work
among his colonists. He had neither
gun nor other weapons, and had to look
quietly on until bruin had made way
with the contents of four bee hives and
skedaddled.
Another one made raid upon the
Glenn ranch, killing and eating a spring
calf, leaving nothing but the hoofs ane
head. This fellow then struck across
the hills, crossed the Cajon Pass, drop
ped down upon Burcham's ranch ant
took in good-sized calf there. He wal
driven away by dogs, and pursued b
the head of San Gabriel Canon, whenc,
he came. by parties from Burcham'
ranch, but was not captured, owing I,
the inaccessibility Of his haunts.

How Much to pIow.

There is "a very interesting discussion
going on In regard to the amo INT o.
blowing that should be done in the cul
tivation OF soil. The weight Of evil
dence appears to be opposed to blowing
orchards and vineyards in the summer,
The moist soil. from eight to ten inches
below the surface, when turned up in
the dry hot summer, rests upon the dry
soil that has Just been turned beneath
from the surface, and, as q consequence,
there is in single day. after blowing
dry soil ten inches deep. with the
dryest in the bottom, and all the econ.
omy OF the soil disturbed and revolu'
tionized just when the tree is In active
growth and needs all the help and fer.
tilizing operations of the soil, which
must not be disturbed to great depth
and break up all the mysterious opera.
tons of the imponderable forces that are
at work in making plant and tree
growth. II orchards and vineyards
have to be plowed annually to open
the soil to the absorption OF rain i,
should be done early in the Winter SO as
to get settled properly together by the
falling rain, and liked for business before
the warm weather of Spring arrives.
Careful experiments are being made by
blowing portion of vineycrd and
leaving another portion unplowed This
experiment has shown at Goleta AMI al
Ortega Hill. In Santa Barbara county,
that annual blowing does not pay. II
disurbs the economy of the soil and
should only be resorted to from time to
time. The San jose vineyard aud the
Ortega Hill vineyard are not plowed,
and yet yield generously grapes Of Q
superior quality.
Last year Mr., James McCaffrey, Of
the San Jose vineyard, plowed the
poorest portion Of his vineyard, wherea'
the grapevines or the soil became SO in.
dignant that no crop was produced, al
though the unplowed portion bore fail
crop. This year the ground was moi
plowed at all, and that portion that had
been plowed the year before is bearing
an enormous crop, and all the vineyard
is bearing. The deduction from this i,
evident, that we plow our vineyards toe
much. Some of the upland vineyards
are plowed twice q year, and in some
instances three times, thoroughly.
Now will some Of our vineyardists put
sheep on their vineyards in the Fall to
eat up the weeds, and then, after prun.
ing, 60 over the vineyard with shallow
knife-bladed cultivator to keep the weeds
down and await results, The finest
grapes In the world for wine are grown
where land was never plowed. becansc
it cannot be. Our vineyardists should
prove all things. Experiments on the
same kind of grape in the same field
should be made by blowing some, using
cuItivator on others, and cultivating
others in the old-fashioned way with a
hoe. 1t is our duty to get the best
grapes in the best way, and ii our pres.
ent system of cultivation overdoes the
business it should be changed. If good
crops can be raised by blowing once in
ten years instead of twice year, we
shall most certainly adopt it, and save a
vast deal of expense. Who will be the
first of our vineyardists to prove that we
are blowing too muchs Messrs. Rose,
Shorb, Crank, Nadeau and other great
grape-growers can put this question to q
test, and we hope they will.
