The Insect Killer.

Everybody. in Southern California s
Interested in the determination OF insect
pests which destroy "the best laid
schemes OF mice and men. The buhach
plant seems to be the great insect de-
stroyer and ought TO be cultivated right
here in Los Angeles. 1t is death to
flies, tleas, mosquitoes, moths and hor-
nets, and is one OF the most valuable
plants that can be grown in the country,
as it Yields a prodigious profit. The
Fresno Democrat Of last week has this
to say about this most useful plant
Last week we VISITED the Buhach
plantation, five miles north OF Merced,
and through the kindness of Mr.. W. G..
West, the perintendent, were shown
over the plantation, which contains
about 1900 acres OF sandy soil, most of
which is under good cultivation. The
"buhach plant is n native OF Austria,
and grows in punches or tufts, about
two feet high, aud bears small white
flower with yellow center, A person
seeing the buhach under cultivation for
the first time would say that it was
great ligll Of marMeritts, The flower,
o. berry, ripeus in the month OF Jm e
and is then gathered. In preparing the
land for this plant it is laid of in icgu-
lar rows about three feet apart and the
bush is planted in these rows about two
feet apart, aud is cultivated by ploW-
ing between them. In harvesting or
4 ft.t III
commence ut the end OF row with "a
sickle and cut the bush down close to
the ground and leave it lying where it
falls; then two more Cinnamon will fol
low with n tray which will hold about
fifty pounds OF the blossoms. This tray
Is mounted on TRUSTEES two feet high and
carried like sedan chair, and on the
framework which projects over this tray
is fastened two iron combs with SIX teeth
each. a Chinaman stands on each side
OF this tray, picks up the bush and pulls
1t through these iron combs, the teeth
clichng the flowers and tearing them
OIL, and they then tall into this wooden
tray, which, when full, is taken and
emptied into boxes on wagon which is
close at hand. When this wagon is
loaded it is driven to the drying grounds;
here the flowers are emptied out OF the
boxes into pieces of canvas eight feet
long and four feet wide, and left to dry.
1t is then placed in sacks and shipped by
the carload to the mills in Stockton,
where it is ground and packed in cans
ior shipment to all parts of the country.
1t is the most valuable insect powder
known, and the demand for it is increls.

THOSE persons whose business it is to
telegraph or send information of the
state OF the crops in Los Angeles county
should be very circumspect, as our mp
country neighbors are not at all averse
to heightening whatsoever i'll things they
may embody in their accounts. In look.
ing ever our up-country exchanges we
very frequently encounter the statement
that both the crops and fruit of Los An.
geles county have been very mach dam
aged by the late rains. As a matter Of
fact, the frcit interests OF this county
were never in better plight than now.
The promise for the citrus frnits was
never fairer while the dcciduous fruits
are everything that could be hoped for.
The foundation has been laid for more
beautiful and remunerative homes than
in any year of our previous history.
That great damage has been done to the
wheat and barley in limited sections of
the county cannot be- denied, but an
amount of hay has been cut and safely
stored without precedent, When the
worst has been told, our farmers will
have nm immense surplus of the cereals
for expectation, the orange crop will be
unusually fine and abundant, while our
vineyards have safely passed the critical
stage, assuring us n yield OF wine and
brandy never known in our history be-
fore. While we do not believe in con-
caaliug an unfavorable condition of
things agricultural or horticultural, it is
not pleasant to be misrepresentcd

IT is heartily to be hoped that some
one who has the ear OF the platform
makers Of the Chicago Convention will
inspire those gentlemen with tho idea
that one of the very best things they
can put into the Democratic National
Confession of Faith would be an anti.
sumptuary law plank. There would be
no demagogism in this, for the Democ-
racy rs party are heartily opposed to
the whole letter and spirit of the Neal
Dow revelation of our later days. The
San Jose Convention had the courage TO
meet this issue two years ago, and the
result was the largest majority ever
chronicled for State ticket in California.
The large German element which forms
the balance OF power in Ohio, New y Nork,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, aud in
many other States, would at once be at
traeted by such declaration, and their
approval would be registered in tre-
mendous vote for the Democratic nomi-
nees. Quite as important as iudieious
tariff plank is hearty and sincere ex-
preston OF the sentiments ot the party
upon the individual rights of man in a

TUE present warm spell comes not a
day too soon. Two things in which the
people of this section are vitally inter
ested have received terrible "black
eye" this year. The first was the South
orn system OF railways the lines below
the snow belt and the second was our
usually incompatible climate of South
orn California. Take it for all in all
the winter, spring and early summer OF
this year OF grace wero the most disa-
greeable aud coolest known in our his
tory. The season. amongst other things,
is quito month late. The vineyards
now need the genial weather which We
are enjoying to form tho grape aud to
mature it. Amidst whatever OF disap-
pontmont may attach to n little rust or
lodgment of the cereals, here and there,
we are able to congratulate ourselves
upon the splendid growth of the newly
set.out vines There is rarely case of
failure amongst them.

WE take great pleasure in the fact
that there was large and enthusiastic
meeting of tie Democratic Club last
night, at which il was resolved to en-.
ergize the local campaign and to organ
ize Democratic clubs in all the seveIa
wards OF Los Angeles, Wednesday night
being appointed for this most important
work. As we have had occasion TO re.
mark heretofore. the Republican cam
paign, in its natural order, is at least n
month ahead of the Democratic, and
that party has consequently had the
benefit of certain immature "whoop-
ups" which have already spent TIL er
force. But the early assembling of the
Democratic National Convention calls
upon us to be on the alert, aud to give
earnest of our resolve for the future
1t is pleasant to note the hberality of
the Club in subscribing money for fit
ting ratification demonstration when the
Democratic Presi lential and Nice-Presi-
Dental nominations shall be declared.
The good work goes bcavely on.

Too Good TO be True.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.--The Leu.
gers New York special correspondent
adheres 10 the belief that Tilden's letter
is not final against an imperative and
unanimous call of his party, in which
view the Led9er concurs. Within the
last forty eight hours there has been a
free interchange of opinion between
sundry well-known leaders of the Demo
cratic Tariy ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
including Barnum, Chairman OF the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, and it is
no secret that the business in hand was
to place themselves in communication
with Mr. Tiiden so that, with full
knowledge of his wishes, they could act
under his instructions at Chicago. John
kelly's Star let the cat out of the bag
this morning by saying that on a cross
examination of Tilden's letter it is found
that there is no statement which COM
mits him 10 a refusal of the nomination
il it should be rendered to him as de-
manded by the party.

The English Investigation Re
opened.

WASuINGToS, June 2S.-The commit
tee appointed by the House to ascertain
if the Hon W. II. English had used i'm.
proper means on the floor of the House
TO intlueace members to vote to seat his
son as amcmbcr from Indiana, decided
to-day TO reopen the case. When Mil
lard asked English, during his examina-
tion before the committee, if he had gone
to members ut their homes to urgo them
to vote for his son, the question was
ruled out. After the case had closed,
the Democrats thought the matter over
and decided that his failure to answer
the question would bo looked upon as
an admission that the accusation was
true, and that it would be an injustice to
Mr.. English not to let him reply, so, on
Tuesday next, the case will be reopened
and Enfl sh will be mt on the stand

Indians Dying from starvation

HELENA, NJ. r., June 2S-Mojor AL.
len, Pigeon Indian Agent in northern
Montana, reports the Pigeons dying fast
from scant supply of food. The
Agency carpenter furnised thirty burial
boxes in the past month, but it is be
lieved the deaths were fully three times
that number, as the Indians have great
dislike to burying their dead, preferring
the old custom OF placing the bodies in
trees or in stone piles on high hills, The
death rate is greatest among children
from five to twelve years old. The sup
plies will be exhausted entirely in an.
other week, and 5000 Indians will be
left to starve o. subsist on the cattle OF
settlers. Trouble is feared.
