OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.
Three Fffths of II Possessed by Thirty.
 One Ihnusand rersons.

One Thousand Persons.
 Let Us inquire whether there is any excessive concentration of wealth go- ing on in the United States of Amer ica. Leaving mere clamor and un. supported assertions out of considera- tion, on either side. let Us look into facts. As lately as lS47 there was but one man in this country who was re- puted to be worth more than 8, 000,- G10 and though some estimated his wealth at SEQ. 900, GOO, there Is no good reason for believing it to have been so great At the smallest reasonable es- innate. there must now be more than 250 persons in this country whose wealth averages over SD, 000 GOO for each. But let Us call the number only 200. lncome-tax returns show that the number of incomes when arranged in large classes multiplies by from three to fYe-fold for every reduction in the amount of 0ne-half. For ex- treme caution, however. We estimate the increase in the number Of incomes at very much lower rate than this. At this reduced rate, the amount of wealth in the hands of persons worth over $5oQ. 0a0 each in the United States would be about as follows:
The Springdale news., 1889-12-20

This estimate is very Ear below the actual truth. Yet. even upon this basis, we are confronted with the startling result that 31, coo persons now possess three-hfths of the whole National wealth, real and personal, according to the highest estimate ($G0, o00, oo0 0o0 which any one has yet ventured to make of the aggregate amount, Nor is this conclusion at all improbable. -Thos.

Making the Most of It.

Charles Dickens, on visit to Edin burgh. wished toyisit noted locality, but was refused admittance by the. aged women who kept the gate, on the ground that he had not come during regular visiting hours. Supposing that the obstinate dame would be oYerawed by the greatness of his name. he informed her that he was Mir. Dickens. the novelist whereat she gave him to understand in broad but emphatic Scotch that she had never heard of him before. and that, judg- ing from his appearance, she would not care ever to see or hear of him again. This touched Charles sense of the ludicrous exceedingly, and ha resolved to propitiate the old lady. cultivate her acquaintance, study her character, serve her up in his next novel and so make the most of his dis appointment.

Aunt Matilda shook her head.
 ''NO, Martha, temporary weariness does not mark such lines in the face, Neither is the illness of one member sufficient to permanently destroy the family peace. Why, some of the hap piest families know have inmates who are hopeless invalids, and all the other members seem to make point of be- ing bright and cheery for their sakes. No, there is something more than this trouble over there. Never mind, l shall find out by and by.

of the fruit or market gardeners; a good
windmill or small engine will afford suffi-
cient power for force pump to drive the
water to a sufficient height to effect the
purpose; nearly every fruit grower has
spent enough money for commercial fer
tilizers to have paid for a good system
of irrigation, and in most cases they de-
rived no benefit from their expenditure,
but increasing the famishing thirst for
water, and more water was injurious
rather than beneficial to their groves.

The Orange and Lemon.

nC VI UuS duU ACuAOu
Elbow grease is the only grease that
should be used on an orange or lemon
tree.
The price of the orange is eternal vigi-
lance, and the returns always pay, and
that is what we grow oranges for.
Knowing almost all there is to know
about scale bugs and their destructive
ness, we would not hesitate a minute to
plant new orchard to orange and lem
ons, as one OF the most profitable OF all
horticultural pursuits.
If we are going to buy land to plant
citrus fruits we would go to the best 10
cality, one best adapted to them, where
the soil was orange land in every sense of
the word.
Just now, March, we notice many per-
sons cutting and slashing their orange
trees or rather having it done. Probably,
the Chinaman or hired man wants the tree
pruned high, so that the horse can get
under the limbs and close up TO the tree.
We are inclined to Abbott Kinney s
method, which is as follows, he says:
"When man seriously feels that an or
ange tree needs pruning. he should go
away from home a few days, and when he
comes back he should keep away from the
orange grove until the pruning fever
has left him" On the contrary, he says
when a man feels the desire to prune an
apricot tree he should at once proceed
to prune it thoroughly and severely, and
should then return the next day, and
prune it good deal more. A summer
pruning just after the fruit is off, and a
pruning in February, he thinks is about
the right time for apricots.
We would not prune an orange tree at
all, except to head it up, suckers and all
dead branches-and cut the fruit all Off
Navel trees the first year or two ter
planting.
The Washington Navelfruits early after
planting, and generally heavy, and we
recommend that the hrst crop should be
clipped Off just at the time they begin to
fall Off, when quite small. The second
year but few if any should be LETT togrow.
The results are larger and better tree,
ready for business when about five years
old, and even then only a limited number
of oranges should be allowed to grow.
The real horticulturist for business will
commence iertilizing his trees after the
first year, and will continue to return as
much strength to the ground as the trees
take up. You would not think OF work
ing your horse without feeding him. 1t is
matter that is so thoroughly under
stood by scientific men, and explained by
them to US ordinary mortals as to the
exact portions of the various ingredients
that go to make up the tree, it's leaves
and fruit, that no man need go astray
This question of fertilizers is one Of the
most important to our fruit growers, and
one that we shall devote considerable
space to in the future. Rural Californian
