The value q UNIFORM Rates.

The railroad editor Of the Denver Tribune has
been interviewing leading shippers as to the
effects of rate-cutting and 50 nearly does their
verdict compare with heEiews of Indianapolis
shippers published in the journal, that we re-
produce them, the general verdict being that the
effect of cutting rates is evil It puts the mer-
chants, whose goods are transported at the reg
ular rate, at the mercy of the one who is fortu-
nate enough to get cut rate. The advantages
which few secure by war of rates are as
nothing compared with the losses which others
suffer, and, when rates are unsettled, no one
knows how his business win be affected One
prominent Denver shipper said There is no ques
tion-no matter how much railroad companies
may be blamed, or called hard names by men
who are profane, or, II religious, who
bless the road in a manner very
little calculated to benefit the blessee-of
the benefits of a steady and permanent rate or
tariff of charges The evils of sudden and tran
STORY cuts are too obvious to need any proof by
argument; they are commercial aXiomS, which
have proved themselves time and again. Another
said: Cutting rates Is most unquestionably an
injury to the prosperity of the State When the
cut comes, small dealers who have been buying
of jobbers at home rush into the eastern mar
kets and oyerstock themselves. As they all do
it, no one reaps any benefit and when the reac-
tion comes they find themselves with large
amount of unsold goods, to get which they have
stretched their credit to the utmost, and the
consequence is failure The only ones who
make any money out of cut rates are the sher-
ifs, deputies and constables, and. as most men
are working for their own bread and butter, it
certainly does not pay to work for the living of
law officers and lawyers. Besides which, l be-
lieve in letting railroads make some money.
They are benefit to the city.

crease in the volume of water in the
Santiago creek. The Trabuco is still
carrying good sized stream to the

The farmers in the Newport section
have as yet done but little cullivating,
their lands being too wet to plow. The
present weather is not favorable TO the
rapid drying out Of farming lands, which
have received such a super-abundance OF
water this year. A long spell OF clear
sunny weather is what is especially
desired by farmers just now, particular
| ly those who want to plant corn in damp
lands.
The following are the experts from
the Santa Ana depot for the week end.

Mr.. Robert Eccles, proprietor of the

in town on Thursday, We learn that
he has slaughtered this season about two
thousand head of hogs, and has expended
upward of $4,000 in their purchase.
The product this season has been one
hundred and fifty tons of hams, bacon
aud lard, which have all been bargainetl
for. Mr.. Eccles has paid hog raiscrs five
cents per pound during the season, when
the ruling price was but four and half.
Such an industry as this should by all
means be encouraged to tia utmost. Its

Fruit Notes.

DR., o. II. Cougar, of Pasadena, was
in the city yesterday. lie reports his
orange groves in luxuriant blossom, but
that the linnets have generally destroyed
the fruit buds of the apricot. 1t is high
time to kill the linnets and have done
with them. The apricot crop is too val
uable to be ruined by this useless bird.
1t is species of .fringiiia, or sparrow,
aud this leads the devout Pasadenan to
exclaim, as he loads his shotgun and
looks upon his iruitless apricot trees,
"Ye are of more value than many spar
rows" and then he makes tho feathers
fly and the bird.sho hum through the
br anches.
1t is also observed that the French
prunc is not bearing well in that locali-
ty, Whether u is because there is not
enough clay and iron in tbs soil, or
whether tho .fringiiia has nipped the
fruit buds has not yet been ascertaincd
Investigation is in order.
For two years past the Muscat grape
has not done rs well ms formerly at Fair
Oaks, the ranch of Hon. j. Il. Crank, on
high gravclly land, above Pasadena, aud
DIR. Cougars crop, ut Pasadena, was par.
TALLY bhghtcd last year. Here is more
room for Investigation.
There are many other subjects of vital
interest to the fruit grower that should
be considered, and in order To have
them discussed ntelligently there should
be horticultural society established in
this city and monthly meetings kept up
through all the year. Pasadena once
had most excellent horticultural socie
iy, which was very valuable organiz, l..
ton and did much good, till it became
merged in society in this city. and
shoullercl pavilion, aud exploded by
running magazine which it should
never have shouldered. The two
branches of business aie very dissimilar
industries, aud should not be united. Ii
n new society is formed it should be n
voluntary affair, free of all stock opera
tiors aud publishing schemes.
The time for the organization of such
society is Mt hand. There ARE thou
sands Of topics that should be discussed,
aud the truth made known. Such a So
cicty would he great educator, and do
great and permanent good to the State,
There should he no delay in its organi-
2ation. The fruit growers should he ac-
tive in this matter, aud come and reas on

IN Feeding tho Worms, but In
Kllling Them.

turnal cuiworms. | don't pretend TO
know of nny remedy to destroy fail

IDEAS ARE far superior 10 those OF MIR.
Siuhr. My ideas are the same AZ Mr..

oughly cultivated, and especially around
the trunk Of tho vines. Now MIR. Stuhr
states, "Do not plow your vineya ds
throw aliilerilla or young gfass nm !
weeds around your vines, and you will
find that the worms will 50 on them and
leave your vines un,nolest d. " Now ih
question IL, it these worms can be fed on
said remedy, why do they attack our
vinesY My answer is, because they pro.
fer tho young fruit Of the vines. See.
ond remedy, chickens, by throwing lit
tie feed about the vines. Now, il would
take well drilled flock of fowls to 90
through our vineyards and destroy said
worms. Third remedy, water will ki |
them instantly; therefore keep your

destroy them much easier ON clear
