THAT $3.50.

A few days ago the APPEAL
called attention to an item in the
appropriation bill of $3.50 for put
ting the legislative chambers in or
der, and asked where the money
had gone.
We will answer the question our
selves.
The money was partly expended
for fuel, sixty cords of wood having
been purchased for each branch of
the Legislature, portion went for
repairs anI the rest was returned
to the Treasury. This is shown by
the Controller S books. The mis-
apprehension regarding this expend-
iture, arose from the fact that in
the cootro:erS report were two
items: Fuel lights etc. 81, GOO; and
a s. peraia item for preparing the
Legislative halls, $3.50.
Ole belongs to the general and
the otiler to The legislative fund.

DEMOCRATS AT LOGGER

The Nevada Democracy is moth

active state Of eruption. In the 10
cal column is published card rel

caucus which gave to Col Heating

Democrats who we're lucky enough
to be forwarded to this Legislature
OF the internal wrangles of these
people the APPEAL has little to DO
but is eyer ready to publish respon-
sible communications upon the
subject.
The discussion which has arisen
over the matter, shows very con
,clusivelv that Gay. Adams cannot
easily abstain From putting his
meddlesome political finger in the
pie and so uin@Iiny his gubernator
ial functions with common pct
house politics that one is not easily
distingulshable fran the other. IF
any other Governor ever stepped
down from his executive chair and
waded to the waist in the filthy
pool, which should be 80 far be-
meath hill, we have yet to know. it.
Gov. Adams station should make
him forego the pleasures arising
from jobberies OF the caucus and the
petty bull -dossing which is factor
Of success in that quarter.
There seems to ) $40 wings in

POINTS ON OLIVE AND GRAPE CULTURE
From the san Francisco Merchant


A good ointment for gratis, preventing
water from penetrating and air from

Burgundy pitch, 500 parts black pitch,
125 parts rosin, 65 parts yellow wax,
65 parts 4; tallow, 45 parts.
The vineyards of South Africa are suf-
ferinc severely from extremes of hot and
cold weather. The Wynberg Times says :
''Many vines have not vcstige of YER
dure left, leaves and grapes alike having
been devoured by caterpillars, aud the
oidiun has played sad havoc particularly
in some of the vineyards at Constantia. p"
FIG CULTURE.
The Washington Agricultural Depart
ment, having recently made inquiries as
to fig tree cultivation, the following re-
plies have been given by the Semi
Tropical, of Jacksonville, Florida, Gov.
Harrison Reed giving them as the results
of his own experience
l. The best variety for the table is the
small brown Smyrna or "Celeste:' the
best for preserving or picking is the yell
low or green.
2. The trees are propagated from cut
tings or suckers, and will produce fruit
the second year.
3. They will grow with little care, and
on almost any land, but a deep, rich, moist
soil will produce growth and product
which surprises the cultivator. We have
known shoots to grow eight feet in year,
and with body an inch and a-half in
diameter.
4. The yield of an ordinary tree of
medium size will be about two bushels,
though we have an old tree from which
we gathered twelve bushels in one season.
The product varies according to age and
cultivation, and may be extended in-
definitely.
5. We have seen no experiment in dry
ing. We have seen them partly preserved
and dried in the form of cakes, which are
very delicious, and we have canned an
nually sufficient for our home use. No
attempt has yet been made in Florida to
dry and pack them after the manner of
the imported article.
g. So far we have discovered no insect
or disease which interferes with the tree
in any manner.
A profit of over $500 is reported from
one acre of figs by James Stewart of
Downey, California. He has &c trees on
his acre, and sold to Barnard Benedict
of the Crystalline Works $3.50 81 worth,
and about 500 worth to other dealers.
This beats the record on figs so far as
heard from. His varieties are White
Smyrna, Brown Ischia and New Pacific.
OF course he has good trees on the right
kind of soil and knows how to take care
of them.
