with small means is the one to do it. Take
advantage of nature. If only small
amount of rain falls be ready for it, have
your ground in condition to receive and re-
tain it; then cultivate and roll it, and
keep the moisture in it. l will warrant
that you will accomplish more than those
that control ditch water and artesian wells.
1t would surprise many people if they
would cultivate properly and irrigate less.
Your fruits would be better and command
better price. An Englishman in Tulare
stated this season: AZ sell my unhirri-
gated peaches for one cent per pound more
than my hirrigated, and they sell more
readily" The fourth year you will receive
more revenue from an olive orchard and
at six years will be recompensed for your
labor. Any man in health can plant
twenty acres in a year, and hardly miss
the time. When your olive orchard is ten
years old, you can drive tandem team
and take life easy.

old, and every tree is perfect mass of
blossom-buds. Better evidence of the
fruitfulness of the olive in this township
cannot be wanted than is obtained by
visit to this orchard. Here, too, may be
found out something regarding the needs
of the tree. On fairly good shallow soil,
underlaid by rocks, it does not thrive
neither does it do well on clay soil with
insufficient drainage; but on deep, dry
loans, particularly on the hillside, the
tree makes a rank growth, and will this
seventh year yield large crop. Small
and large trees are equally well loaded
with fruit-buds, each in proportion to the
amount of wood. In few weeks the ber-
ries will be set, and this orchard should
then be visited by every person interested
in olive culture in this valleys. F. Mer-

is not having its own way without opposi-
ton. The well-known DR.. Hammond late
~ criticised the report at meeting of the
Society Of Medical Jurisprudence with the
vigor characteristic of the man.
He says that death by electricity would
o5yiate rone of the objections to the pres
ent system. We have no means of know
ing what degree of pain might not be in
fiicted, and it would be difficult to insure
death in every instance. If the electric
shock merely stunned the convict without
killing him, he would come to life and the
whole job would have to be done over
again. The scene would, as now, be one
of sheer brutality, calculated to shock the
sensibilities of bystanders.
He recommends hanging as the most
effective and humane method of inficting
capital punishment. But he objects to the
present system. He would have the cul-
prit seated in chair in room in the Jail
and securely bound with his face covered.
Round his neck one end of rope should
be scientifically adjusted, the other end
should be run through an ordinary pulley
fastened overhead. At signal the rope
should be hoisted to a hight that would
lift the culprit's feet above the floor and
he would there be left to strangle. The
merit of this plan, according to the doctor,
is that it is painless. Strangling, it seems,
involves no suffering. A man who dies by
strangulation first feels great heat in the
head, then sees bright objects dance before
his eyes, hears sounds either musical or
roaring, feels his feet unusually heavy and

What Came from a Single Cutting
Various Stages of Its Manip-

B. Marks gives the following brief his
tory of a raisin grape, in the MERGED Star
in manner at once interesting and in
structive:
In January, 1880, it was little stick
sixteen inches long, about as large around
as ones little finger at the largest end, and
tapering to the size of pipe-stem. 1t
had just been cut from an old vine and had
six buds distributed along its sides. At
the highest market value it was worth one
quarter of cent.

Olive Growing,

Olive culture is daily growing in favor
with the people of this State. The atten-
ton now given the valuable tree in every
respect is such as to clearly indicate that
no passing fancy has taken hold of the en-
thusiastic seekers after knowledge on the
subject. Business is intended, and olive
orchards will be Immediately set out in
different sections of the State. The great
objection heretofore urged of the long
period of time required to bring the trees
into bearing, appear groundless in the
face of the fact that in the southern por-
ton of the State trees which are less than
five years old are now laden with fruit.
In other portions of the State list is
being made of the suitability of climate
and soil for the culture of the tree, and Ia

A CHEAP OLIVE ORCHARD.
Economical Method of Propagating Olive
Plants-Ouestion of Irrigation.

Pants-Ouestfon OF irrigation
The majority of people with limited
means, observes w. J. Langdon in the
Tulare Register, think it impossible to start
vineyard or orchard without large capt.
tai. As number have asked me how
they would do so with only few hundred
dollars, | will endeavor to explain. First
of all, do not laugh at forty acres. A man
with small capital can easily secure forty
acres of good fruit land, even if he has to
go to the foothills for the same. The
revenue to be derived from forty acres of
good fruit is immense. Secure the same,
pillow the same as deep as possible and
thoroughly cross-plow. If you are not
then ready to plant this season, SOW to
grain Or any profitable crop. 1t will pay.
Four good civilizations will prove it to
you. Send to some reliable nurseryman
for cuttings the Picholine variety pre-
ferable), which will cost about $50 per
thousand, and be about eight or len inches
long. Then get thirteen boxes twenty-five
inches square, six inches deep. Fill the
same with good sand. Each box will holp

Wine as a Beyerage.

DR.. Felix L. Oswald, in Popular Science
Monthly, says: at is, indeed, remarkable
circumstance that in the home of the best
wine-grapes, in Greece and Southern Spain,
drunkenness is far less prevalent than in
Scotland or Russia and Poland, where
Bacchus can tempt his votaries only with
nauseous vodka" To this very significant
observation, from great authority, it may
be added that intemperance, in all grape
producing and wine-drinking countries, is
far less than in the non-grape producing,
and rum, whisky and gin-drinking coun-
tries. Therefore, all rational temperance
men, like those of France and Germany,
should advocate wine as a beverage, to the
exclusion of distilled alcoholic liquors; and,
like them, whenever it may be necessary,
pledge the people against their uses in
social life, as prone to lead to appalling
abuses, such as now disgrace, in many
nations, including our own, the civilization
of the age in which we live.

Mr.. Wickham, on clay soil, used lime,
with good results. George Sanderson said
ashes tended to produce 'arge roots, rather
than large top wood, and conduced to the
best fruitage and permanence. President
Butler said the Chautauqua vineyardists
recommended phosphoric acid, nitrogen,
wood ashes and high grade potash salts.
Now this advice should be needed. We
believe some of our older vineyards are
needing some sort of fertilizer, and expert

Under a decline of one fourth its
present value, the man who had
bought a home for $1,000, and by
years of industry and saving paid
$1,000. would still find himself
owing $1,000 for property worth
about $500. In the midst of the
"cheapness" with which he had
been cajoled, the payment OF this
sum would be more difficult than
the original $1,000 under existing
conditions OF ready sale Of pro-
ducts and fair returns for labor.
If the adoption of the English
policy by the United states should
be followed by one half the reduc-
ton IN real estate values that
England has experienced within
the past few years, mortgaged
farms and homes would revert by
thousands to creditors who, like
the landlords of England, would
permit what could not be rented to
go out Of tillage.
In no other country than ours
does so large a percentage of
farmers own the lands they cult
vate. In no other country is there
SO large proportion of working
men who own the homes they
occupy. In no other country does
the fiscal policy SO decidedly favor
the man who honestly and
industriously endeavors to better
his condition in life. Nowhere else
in the world can the Iaborer get
so many of the necessaries and
comforts of life for a days work
as here in the United States. All
this we are asked to menace by
adopting a policy that has thrice
brought disaster to the business of
this country; a policy, with but one
aggressive advocate among all the
nations of Europe-and that one
