FIG CULTURE.

Essay by J. Stewart of DOWney.
] have been for the past fifteen years
in the experimenting and the testing of
different varieties of figs and the soil
best suited to their growth. My obser-
vations have been that they do we'll on
most any kind of soil. 1 have some
growing on high, dry, sandy soil where
it is twenty feet down to water, also
some growing on rich, sandy loan
about ten feet from water. Again, 1
have them growing on stiff adobe not
more than five or six feet to water, and
they all grow vigorously and well. In
starting the fig to make tree
its head should be as high as
that of an apple or peach
tree, say three feet from the ground. Be
careful to keep off all sprouts that
may start from the root, and
especially as much so in clipping
off all limbs that may put out on the
under side of the first limbs that you let
staff for the head of your tree. Should
they be allowed to grow they would
soon, after commencing to fruit, have
the most of the tree spread out on the
ground. Young trees, we'll cared for,
will commence to ripen fruit the second
year, and will begin to pay the third
year. They will increase in value year.

There are many kinds of figs being
placed on the market, the most of which
are turning out to be worthless. The

The Culture of This Royal Nut

im southern California.
Read by f. r. Willis before the Los An
geles County Pomological Society, at
Downey City, october 7, 1851
OF the various branches of pomology
now attracting the attention of fruit
growers in Los Angeles county, none is
more deserving of attention than the
culture of the English walnut.
As an employment nut culture is the
easiest, most pleasant, certain, and
taken one year with another-most re-
munerative of any branch of industry
in which the small farmer OF this valley
can engage.
The walnut seems to be almost indig-
eous to the southern part OF Europe and
Asia, and the central part of South
America. 1t is more hardy than many
suppose, and would doubtless bear the
winters of the Gulf States. In England,
Scotland and France, the walnut has be-
come acclimated, and bears large crops,
France alone exporting in 1855, over
thirty-three million pounds of nuts. In
California we find an entire State adopt
ed, in greater or less degree, to this
branch of industry. the difference in
adaptabili.y, being governed entirely by
soil, climate and location.
The walnut fourishes best when
planted in rich, moist, sand soil to which
there is good drainage, but where water
can be found in from fifteen to twenty
feet from the surface. 1t has been re
marked by well-known writer upor
this subject that ''sloping and rocky
ground like the hillsides of our mount
aims is the best adapted to the walnut.
While this may be true of other parts O
this State, it is our observation that thu
reverse Of this rule is true in Los Ange

Chicago Herald.
Anincident occurred at the Grand Opera
house Friday which brought back to the
minds of the interested parties vivid
recollection of times long gone by. In
box, surrounded by party of friends,
sat Buffalo Bill. Two days previous he
had left his wild west show in the east,
intending to spend week or two at his
home in North Platte, Neb., but bad
broken his Journey at Chicago, to see his
partner, Nate Salisbury. The first act of
''The Brook, had just concluded, when,
amid the applause, Buffalo Bill noticed
a peculiar sound, similar to the cry of a
young coyote. The sound attracted no
attention from any one else, but 1t
caused the ex-scout to cast a hurried
glance around the house, while his face
bore look OF mingled hope and aston
ishment. AS his eyes rested on box
opposite him he saw person waving
his hand to him, aud in an instant made
for the door.
''If amt mistaken there's q partner
OF mine, whom haven't seen for TWEEN
ty wears. Nobody but he knows that
cry" he remarked, rs he hastily left the
box.
Half an hour elapsed ere he returned.

The color Of the material of this cliff
is for the most pant jet black, but much
of it is mottled and streaked with bright
brownish red, various shades of brown
from dark to light, yellowish, purplish,
and olive green. The brilliant lustre OF
the rock and the strong contrasts of col
Ors with the black are very striking In
places the glass in the process Of cooling
has been broken into small angular
pieces which have been cemented by the

beautiful broccia. In some places the
material shows fine satin lustre, while
in others deep golden sheen is noticea-
ble, which under the lens resolves itself
into beams of yellow and red light
Through the black and red glass are
scattered dull blush grey patches and
bands, and grey and pink masses, the
effect of which is to still further vary the
