Profit In Dried Apricots,

Professor Grant has fine young apricot
orchard upon his place Just southwest of
town. The trees are of the Royal variety
and are five years old. His trees are Tx
20 feet apart; number 125 to the acre !;
cover about 2! acres. Without irrigation
he raised eight tons Of grapes this season
on the young trees. He dried them and
got 1000 pounds of gilt-edged commercial
eyaporated apricots, for which he demands
fifteen cents pound. At this price his
crop would yield 5000 gross. He esti-
mates that it costs him one-quarter of one
cent per pound to cut and lay the fruit in
the sun, which amounts to $40 as an item
of expense. This does not include bleach
ing and packing
Professor Grant was offered 500 per ton
free on board for his green fruit by Sac
ramento house, or $500 for the whole. He
| refused, and is now offered Is cents for the
dried product of his trees, or $500 for the
crop.
lie does not believe in irrigating april
cots for drying. Non-irrigated Yolo april
cots will make one pound of dried fruit to
four of green, while the irrigated will
shrink seven pounds into one, and the non
irrigated is the best and most marketable.
| He thinks that the Royal is the best
dryer that can be grown, and is of the
opinion that it don't pay to raise apricots
for Gamers at less than p cents per hound

Preserving Granes.

White Smyrna figs and the White Mus
cat grape are sometimes preserved to-
gether, the second crop of figs coming in
season to can with the grapes. We give
the rule for their preserves now, though
September is the month in which they can
both be had for canning: Pick the figs
when their skins begin to crack, peel,
weigh and allow one-half of pound of
best graduated sugar to one pound of the
fruit. Mix the fruit and sugar carefully
mot breaking the figs), and let stand over
night. In the morning also prepare your
Muscat grapes by picking them from their
stems, washing, weighing and allowing
one-fourth of pound of sugar to one
pound of fruit land as many grapes by
weight as fgs) Cook in another kettle,
using only very little water-just enough
to keep them from burning. They will
cook, after starting to boil, in about ten
minutes. The figs will need cooking nearly
an hour. When both fruits are done mix
carefully together, let come to boil and

Dried Grapes for Wlne-makin..

The importations Of dried grapes o
various kinds into France for purpose o
making into wine are upon an immens,

among the leading articles of trade. Tn

era are arrested in that country these i'm
portations will continue Without them

These imported dried grapes are drawn
from various foreign countries, chiefly
from those on the Mediterranean, where
heavily colored grapes, rich in sugar,
abound, and where the climate is favor

IRRIGATION IN PLACER COUNTY,
a New System Of Rates to lie Adopted

of water and the collection of money fol
the full amount of water used. They com.
plain of all sorts of schemes on the part Of
many irrigators to obtain more water than

new system OF measurement and a new
basis of payment. Their plan is not vel
perfected, but its general outline is that OF
charging for water according to the mum.

of fruit the rate an acre will be higher than
for other kinds, ETC., but in all cases 9
charge will be made upon the expiration
of existing contracts whereby water is now

which the managers of the canal have lust

Is that the more water furnished the less il
