Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-12
silver Coin and Bullion, 1878. 6s.ooo 600

By the above statement we see, esti-
mating our population at sixty millions,
that if all the silver was distributed there
would not be quite S. for each man,
woman and child in the United States,
while if the gold was equally distributed,
there would be trihs over $40 to each
person.
Several facts, therefore, become clear.
First, that the silver has not driven the
gold out of the country, as the "gold
bugs" asserted that it would, because
we now have nearly three times as much
gold as we had in 1878 when we began
to coin the silver dollar in good earnest.
Second, that we have now one.half as
much silver in the country as gold, and
therefore it is clear to BLIND man even,
that there has been no .productio \
of silver, as the "gold bugs" have tried
to make the people believe. Third, that
when we add all our gold and silver to-.
gether, we find that we only have SIS
per capita, W lie France has $40 per
capita. therefore is there room to
doubt, yes trebel the quantity of gold
and silver We now possess, may
be coined before we reach the
amount that France successful
and proftably employs. Nor has
France less paper money per capita
than we have, but more, for we have
only $40 per capita, while Franz &c has
SIS for each person. Our population is
increasing at the rate of three millions
year. demanding an increase in our
money volume of at least SIS, 900, 900 a
year, simply to maintain our present
rate of $25 per capita. What are we
getting? Little or nothing! Our legal
tender notes are fixed quantity. Our
national bank notes have been contract
ed S54, 500, 600 since Januarp lst. or ten
months, while during that time we have
coined only about $22, 500 900 of silver,
so that all the increase we are getting
in the money volume at present comes
from q few millions of gold we coin,
which for 1885 amounted to about $35,
900. 900; but all this gold coinage and
silver coinage only makes up the
amount the national bank notes have
been contracted during the present year.
Thus our money volume being con.
tracted OF the rate of $4,000, 900 per
year, for to increase the population
without increasing the money volume
has the same effect as to decrease the
money volume on fixed population. Is
it any wonder besiness is not buoyant as
it should be in a young and growing ma.
ton like this? The "gold bugs" are
still holding us by the throat.

Phosphorio acid is practically probably
the same throughout, and is in fair sup.
ply; sulpburie acid Is low throughout,
and might advantageously be raised by
the aid of plaster. Humus in the sur
face soil shows fair percentage, perhaps
as large as SO pervious soil will main
tain in the local climate. The moisture
absorption reaches very satisfactory
figure, and increases downward, parallel
with greater heaviness of the soil, as is
shown by the increase of the item OF
alumina, the charac teristic ingredient OF
clay.
Altogether the soil is very fine one
for vineyard purposes, both as to Its
mechanical and chemical composition;
and considering the great depth to which
roots can readily penetrate it, it prom
ises high durability. tits, moreover, so
'generalized" in its character as to rem
der the results obtained on it of wide
applicability.
PRODUCT OF THE VINES.
In order that the conditions under
which these results we're obtained may
be fully understood. the history of the
vines iu this plot, already given in the
report of 1886, should be restated. The
vineyard plot of which the use is granted
to the University, consisted originally
of thirty seven rows, eight, feet apart,
of forty vines each, the latter being, at
the time, three year.old Znfandels.
These we're, in 1884, grated to the fol-
lowing varieties of wine grapes: Gross

crop would be obtained from them. buJ
the season being so universally unfavor-
able, the product was too small to serve
for more than an Identification of varie-
ties in doubtful cases.
This season, 1886, all the vines were
pruned long, three canes and trained on
stages, 50 as to insure an adequate crop
for experimental wine making. This
point must of course be taken into con.
sderation in Judging of the results,
since short.pruning varieties would thus
naturally over bear aud show heavier
crop than that which they could be per-
manently charged without greatly short
enipg their lives.
The following table shows, in the last
column, the average product in pounds,
of the vines sampled, the number from
which this average is deduced, being
given in the first column, while the mid.
die ones give the total product of all:

Have caught you in their net;
You smile and call me strange and cold
You never knew Arlette.

About her beauty lies,
A mellow cheek, a scarlet mouth,
And dark, beseeching eyes;

Has ever touched Arlette.

And soft old Norman name?

1t will be seen that the highest produce
of this list is that of the Gros Verdot,
which gave nearly eighty pounds to the
vine. This figure may require to be dis
counted to some extent, from the fact
that it is an average of only seven vines.
which were picked out from the some.
what mixed row of which it is intended
to form the sole ingredient. Making all
allowances, however, the Verdot must
be cassed as very prolific vine. 1t
will be interesting to see what is the
quality of the wine resulting from such
heavy bearing.
Immediately below it, but still in the
seventies, we find the Barbarossa, Chas'
selas de Fontainebleaue, Palomiuo and
Sultana. OF these the latter is usually
supposed to be capable of bearing the
heaviest crops, but it is evident that on
this soil at least, the two others are even
with it.
Ranging close to the sixties we find
the Zinfandel, Chauche Noir, Burger,
Palomino and Vests White Prolific.
Close to the fiftiss are the Sauvignor
Vert and the Kleinberger or True Bur
ger.
Close to the forties are the True
Ploussard, Chauche Girls and the 4emil.
Ion. The latter, as SO prolific a bearer,
will agreeably surprise some of those
who have hesitated about planting this
noble grape. The Ploussard, likewise,
is high-grade grape which thus shows
its CLAIM to attention.
Near the thirties we have the Sirah,
Nebbiolo, Fresa, Franken. Riesling,
Grossblaue, Gamay, Teinturier, Herbe
mont, Meunier, Black Hamburg.
Near the twenties, Crabb's Black Bur

Between twenty and twelve, the 10.
hannisberger Riesling and Malbeck,
including "Portal's Plous ssrd," which is
undoubtedly identical with the Malbeck
of the University plot, Krug's direct i'm.
portation.
The low figure for Malbeck will be O
disappointment to many who would like
to cultivate this desirable variety. To
these might be said what is true of the
entire series here recorded, that what is
true at Cupertino may not hold good
elsewhere on different soils, and also
that of the several sub.varieties of the
Malbeck, some may be found more pro.
Life even at Cupertino hereafter; also
that vines Of greater age may bear more
abundantly.
As to the Riesling, its low product will
disappoint no one; it is in accord with
experience on soils to which it is adapt.
ed, although on valley soils it may be
forced into heavier bearing with COR
responding reduction in quality.
1t will, of course require the expert.
ence of several years to obtain reliable
average of the bearing of these several
varieties, even on this particular soil.
Still, the season of 1886 was in general a
good one, except in the case Of particu.
lar varieties badly affected by couture.
From the record on the latter subject
made by f. w. Morse, with respect to
the grapes received from Cupertino, it
does not appear that either the Malbeck
or the Riesling was materially affected
by couture this season. A detailed &C
count of the discussion Of this point will
be given In the forthcoming report.
In view of the numerous additional

ber, the sherry district proper may be
taken 10 lie in the triangle which is
formed between these three towns.
The vintage commences about the first
week in September, when the grapes are
picked and trodden out. After all the
Juice has been procured which can be
expressed, it is run off into butts, which
are then placed in the bodega, and the
mosto (must) is left to ferment.
The bodega is species of wine barn
in which all sherry is stored from the
period of fermentation to the time of its
shipment. Each merchant has his bo-
dega. 1t is generally surrounded by a
high wall, in which there is large door
with wicket, which, being opened in
response to our ringing, we enter large
courtyard; we see walk, stone.paved,
with orange trees on either side leading
to the we'll in the middle of the yard,
and with few shrubs surrounding it.
The wall built around the we'll is some
three or four feet high, with a bar OF
iron arched over the center to which
the primitive drawrope and bucket are
attacked. A similar path leads to the
counting house, and abutting on the
yard is the bodega proper, being large,
high barn, entered by very large and high
double doors.
We enter through the wicket, we hear
the busy sound of the toneleros (coopers)
and in one corner see the important op'
GRAFTON of cask making and mending
going on. The Importance of the quality
Of the wood for the casks being Of the
best may be appreciated when we state
that possibly faulty stave may taiIt a

To season new casks the mosto is placed

distinct during fermentation and until

and enters the period of is adolescence

1t will be noted that Notwithstanding
the wide differences in the mechanical
composition of the materials analysed,
they do not differ materially in the gen.
-eral composition of the fine earth; al.
though there is a manifest increase
downward OF several of the ingredients.
The potash supply is from good to high,
the lowest material having one-fourth
