prylng Surplus Cranes.

The California Fruit Grorer says upon
this subject: Let us take hasty glance
at this drying business. Three and one
half cents per pound for dried wine grapes.
cleaned and stemmed, in cotton sacks, de-
livered at shipping points, means So 80
per hundred or so a ton. The average
quantity is three and one-half pounds Of
green grapes required to make one pound
of dried. For fear that this will not hold
out we will make more liberal estimate
and allow four pounds of green for one of
dried, and we find by drying and selling
your crop at 81 cents you will realize
SlI 90 ton for your green crop, less a
trifling cost for drying, if conducted in the
proper manner. A much better showing
than this can be made, which actual re-
suits and actual transactions prove.
But what better showing do grow
ers want, while there is almost
an unlimited demand for these
dried grapes? The season of 1888 is the
first or Introductory season and the demand
which has sprung up is far in excess of the
supply. Growers take our advice and un-
less you can get fair price for your green
grapes, dry them. You are not obliged to
sell them immediately-dried grapes will
keep; you can hold them for six months or
year, if necessary. Your green crop
must be picked and disposed of as soon as
ripe, which buyers for wine purposes well
understand and invariably take advantage
of the situation. We are not writing to
fill space but we are giving you good sound
advice by which you may profit; every
word OF which can be substantiated by
actual transactions in this market.
while writing the above, gentleman
informs us that he has just sold lot of
dried grapes to local jobber for 81 cents
per pound. They are becoming scarce and
the four cent price which we predicted in
our issue of October Goth, will soon be
realized. Dry your grapes"

Figs for Profit.

see an article written by Fresno gen.
tleman, he does not give his name. where
he says the white and brown Smyrnas and
brown Ischia are the best varieties of figs
mostly sought for at this time. He knows
of no orchard that is yet in full bearing.
and knows of but one nursery in the State
having the above-named varieties for sale.
For the benefit oil those who don't know. |
give few hints of my experience of fig
culture. For the last sixteen years | have
been in the fig business, and have now a
small orchard in what | call full bearing:
have been selling the fruit of the same to
drying and crystallizing company of Los
Angeles for the last several years. They
pay me $50 per ton. The same parties
offered to obligate themselves TO take all
the figs | could grow for ten years to come
at the above-named price. 1 also have a
nursery of some several thousand young
trees that will be ready for mar ket the
coming season of the above-named varie-
ties. / would not grow any other varieties.
The planting out of figs is gaining favor
very rapidly. And why not? There is
quicker money and more of it with less
expense than anything that grows in our
soil. For illustration-and | speak from
my own experience-you may set one, FIVE
or ten acres Of fgs-I mean the white and
brown Smyrnas and brown Ischia. You
NAV set the same number of acres to
oranges or walnuts, and the fig at six years
old will give you better income than
oranges or walnuts will when they get to
be twelve years old. Please reflect on this.

The Black Walnut.

Every landowner should plant the black
walnut. 1t is the most valuable of trees.
No tree can nearly approach it in yearly
future value. Professor Brown, of Ontario,
estimates from an experience of his own
that an acre planted with this tree may in
fifty years produce a value SlS,350. Pro-
fessor Beal, from his experience, thought
this estimate too low Think of mean
annual income of 1926 from an acre OF
trees, the trees and planting of which could
be done for less than $50. At least every
waste place, especially if the soil is rich,
should be planted with black walnut. 1t
is sturdy, handsome, vigorous tree, easily
grown, because no animal and only one in
sects feeds on it. The white walnut, or
butternut, is also good thing to plant
The black walnut has transcendent value
but little known. which is that the fine
European walnut grows finely on it, either
stock or top grated. The harder varieties
of this finest of nuts froni the north of
Europe should succeed top grated on this
hardy stock in all the Middle and western
States.-Eeehaage.

FREIGHT TROUBLES,
An Ell Paso Firm and a Railroad Com
pany Have Disagreement.


Ell PAso, November 1Sth.-A suit has
been instituted by the wholesale grocery
firm of W. Roberts g. Co. against the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, in which
the Interstate Commerce Commission NAV
take hand. The firm recently had a lot
of goods sent from Chicago over the Santa
Fe Railway consigned to A Martinez. Mex
leo, in care of Roberts & Co, FL Paso. Tex.
When the goods arrived here at the Joint
warehouse for Mexican transfer the firm
claim they they rendered the proportionate
freight expenses based on the Mexico tariff,
The agent of the joint warehouse in pur-
suance of positive instructions, refused 10
deliver the goods except upon payment of
the Mexican rate, or the full local rate The
trm then rendered the local rate, amount
ing to $3.50, under protest. This the COM
pany refused to receive unless the protest
was withdrawn. After OBTAINING the goods
nine days, the company delivered them on
the firms terms, namely, the full rate, I'M
der protest. The existing law calls for
damages equal to thefull amount of freight
for each days illegal detention. The claim
put by the firm amounts to over So 600.
All the merchants of El Paso take a great
deal of interest in the case, and think the
decision of the Courts must ultimately be
In favor of the firm, which has any amount

New YORK. November lSth.-A close
friend OF Blaine ssid this evening: Il am
confident that Blaine will not be in Harri-
sons Cabinet. Harrison would hardly Of
Ter him place with the expectation of
refusal That would rather cheaper the
position. The fact is, Blaine's health is so
uncertain that it would not be wise for
him to take any place that required
hard work and responsibility. Biaines
own idea is that Harrison should
select young men for his advisers,
and let the older ores take back seats.
Young men have got to fight the battles of
the future for the party, and they should
be given the command. Blaine is perfectly
willing to retire himself OF course that
would eliminate John Sherman from the
list also. Wm. Mckinley, of Ohio, NAV
become Secretary OF State if a new deal
from younger blood is made"
An indianapolis special to The Herald
says that close friend Of General Harrison
says he has offered Chauncey VI. Depew

LORD cHUkcHILL's WISE WORDS.


Lord Randolph Churchill has shown
that he entertains statesmanlike views of
the relations between England and the
United States There is incisiyeness in
his remark in his speech at Paddington
Saturday that cut to the quick certain En-
glish critics when he said, concerning the
Sackville West affair:
No fault could be found with the action of the
United states toward the Minister. The Amer
lean people were essentially and Justly proud
in their relations with other countries He den
recated the insulting and menacing articles in
Euglish press since Lord Saekyille's dismissal
and said Enclishmen ought to inform the Ame,.
leans that they cherish no ill-feeling toward
them He attached the greatest Importance to
tne maintenance by England of an imperturba-
bic and friendly attitude toward the United
States. He regarded the position taken by Mr.
Cleveland after the rejection of the fisheries
treaty by the Senate as unfortunate. The MT
most allowance, however. ought to be made for
the American position on the Sackyille affair in
view OF the time at which II occurred. Presi-
dent CIeyelauG's action had been rather snarn
but it did not justify the menaees aud sneers In
which the newspapers of England had in
dulged-
When he went on to say that war be-
tween England and the United States
would be more atrocious and dangerous
than any war known since God created
earth" he expressed the thought of every
true American, that we want no armed
conflict with Great Britain, and that the
cause is not yet conceived that should
drive the two great English speaking na-
tions TO war. We will be likely to disagree
at times, but the resort to war must always
be last and to arbitration first. The two
powers must be allies in the cause of hu-
manity and civilization, and not be divided
from those obligations to the race by any
differences of purely commercial char
acter
