Notes on Some ELECTRIC RAILWAYS

The electric railways in this country are
increasing, great many new ones having
been put into operation recently. The
electric railway Installed by the Sprague
Company at Akron, o., has been in opera
ton now for about four weeks, and has
been attracting attention among the street
railway men in that section of the country.
The cars run very smoothly, are under
perfect control, and, as shown by recent
experiments can be started and stopped
more readily than cars driven by any
other power. The citizens of Akron are
very much pleased with the electrical
equipment installed in the city, and num-
erous petitions have been received by the
management from residents in different
sections Of Akron, asking that the road be
extended in their direction in the coming
spring.
The electric railway installed at Daven-
port, la, upon the Sprague system, has
been in operation for about the same
length of time as that at Akron, and the
President and Directors Of the road ex
press themselves as very well pleased with
their apparatus. 1t is significant fact, of
the confidence which the Directors of this
read feel in their electrical apparatus, that
upon the date of opening the road all the
horses owned by the company were ad-
vertised for sale. The number Of motor
cars on this road was eight, Of the latest
Sprague design and pattern.
The Sprague Electric Railway in opera
tion at Wilmington, Del, has been work
ing very successfully since its installation,
and the management of the road feel so
well satisfied With its operation that they
have written letter to the Sprague Com
pany expressing their entire satisfaction,

wood is used for this purpose-that is, the
wood of the previous seasons growth. 1t
should be cut in November or December,
before any extreme weather occurs, and
during mild weather when there is no
frost in the wood.
Keep fresh by putting it away in sand
in the cellar, and work up into cuttings
during stormy weather in the winter.
They are made by simply cutting the
wood with sharp knife, into sections of
about eight inches in length; then pack
away in sand or earth, in shallow boxes,
SO that the upper ends will be exposed to
the air. Keep in this way until spring,
when the callus forms on the lower end,
and they will start more quickly into
growth than if cut in spring, just before
setting them in the ground.
In planting them out, it is important
that the lower ends should have the earth
packed tight against them, and to do this
successfully it is necessary, if planting
them in the nursery, to open trench by
stake and line or if in the forest to throw
out spadeful of earth at each place where
the cuttings are to be inserted. They
should be set deep enough SO as to cover
up the terminal bud.

Ancient Oranges Trees.

There is still fourishlng in the porch of
the convent of Santa Sabina, in Rome, an
orange tree that is said TO have been
planted, A. D. 1900. Another, in the
monastery of Tondi, is supposed to have
been planted by st. Thomas Aquinas in
1878. In the Moorish Alcazar of Seville,
Spain, exists one that was planted during
the reign of Pedro l., between 1150 and
1866. Others known to be $40 years old,
have hight of fifty feet, with trunks five
feet in circumference. Age is not, how
ever, indicated by size, as in Andalusia,
there are many younger, that are consider
ably larger than these. In Alacala de
Guadeira are two, the trunks of which at
four feet above the ground, are respectively
seven and eight feet in circumference.
The yield Of some orange trees in Malta
and Naples is simply astounding, reach
ing as high as 10000 oranges to the tree,
and on the estate known as the Huerta
Grande, in Mairena del Alcor, there are
two that are said to have borne $4,000
oranges each in a season. Exchange.

That Unknown Vine pisesse.

About three years ago peculiar vine
disease made its appearance in Southern
California, principally in the San Gabriel
and Santa Ana valleys, in Los Angeles
county, which has seriously affected the
wine output in that section, as well as the
raisin production at Orange, Tutsin, Santa
Ana and Mcpherson districts. 1t has SO
far baffied the combined skill of local and
imported experts who have closely studied
this disease, endeavoring to ascertain the
causes and prescribe remedy if possible:
but SO far without result. No name has
yet been given to this terrible scourge.
Thousands of acres of vines have been
killed, and thousands more are dying.
Few if any varieties of vines are exempt
from its fatal attack. The expert at pres
ent investigating the matter in the San
Gabriel valley on behalf of the VIII
cultural Commission of the State, has
made some lengthy reports, but as yet few
If any conclusions have been arrived at
that throw any new light upon the subject
or reveal any new features. The disease
we understand, has made its appearance
lately In Sonoma county, and, if reports
are true, Fresno is not exempt. The
only district in Southern California not
affected, we understand, is Riverside. It
seems to be noticeable fact that this dis
ease is particularly partial to vineyards
and vines grown in irrigated districts.
Can it be possible that the water used for
irrigation purposes and the soil ingredi-
ents furnished as plant food by this exces-
sive lecching process, have something to
do with this disease? Would it not be
well to call the attention of experts to the
water used in the various districts where
the disease thrives and is working such
destruction? 1t appears to be stoppage
OF the sap flow which produces this very
peculiar disease, resembling what might
be termed wet rot. One thing is certain
that the districts infested are doomed, and
grape growing for wine and raisin making
purposes will soon be with them thing Of
the past. Every effort Should be made to
discover, if possible, the causes, and if pos
sible, furnish a remedy SO as to prevent its
further spread, as California at this time
can i'll afford to suffer from the ravages of
vine disease of such fatal character as the
one at present at work in the vineyards of
Los Angeles county. : California Fruit

Fruit juices, with just enough sugar in
them to relieve their sharp tartness, seem
much nicer than jelly, with its so per cent.
of sugar. One of our little girls, who has
frequent bilious attacks, when her stomach
will bear only certain kinds of food, thinks
so. l heat the berries-raspberries or cur
rants-press and strain as l would in max
ing jelly. Bring the juice to boil, after
adding one cup of sugar to three pints of
juice. Can the same as berries. Freed of
seeds, fruit juices are invaluable in correct
ing deranged bowels. They relieve consti-
patton and check diarrhea. This seems
contradiction, but personal observation
justifies the statement. A pint OF red, ripe
currant or raspberry juice, tart, thick as
cream, with flavor and sunshine, and fresh
as when swelling the ripe BERRY on the
stem, is just the gift to send an invalid or
convalescing friend who is heartily tired
of her molds of insipid, sweetish jellies.-

A Skunk Farm,

Mr.. Clark, residing in the town of Lei
cester. West New York, has new and
novel enterprise in the shape of skunk
farm. About one acre is inclosed with
tight board fence, and in this Enclosure at
the present time are over 800 skunks,
which, when the sun is out, look like an
army of young kittens, their glossy, black
coats shining like the purest fur. Mr..
Clark has dug trenches IN which the ami
mails have carried nearly ton of hay and
made nests, raised young which average
from nine to eleven litter Mr. Clark
raises the skunks for their fur and oil, and
there is money in the transaction, as there
is only the expense of land and fence to
come out, the animals feeding on old dead
sheep, horses, COWS, apples, potato parings
and refuse from slaughter-houses.

1t is claimed that tar-water is cheap
and effective remedy for insect pests. 1t
is prepared by placing quart or two OF
coal tar in tub or barrel, and then filling
up with water In about forty-eight hours
the water will smell strong of tar, when it
may be dipped off and applied to plants
with syringe or common watering pot.
1t will not kill the Larvae of the potato
beetle as has been claimed, neither will it
prevent the females from laying their eggs

shout the desertion of that heauti-
full state by its former inhabitants.
Standing with other officials on a
hill in Bennington county, and
looking over the valley Of the
West river, a tributary Of the
Connecticut, they counted fifteen
contiguous farms, Or perhaps
hundred acres e,ch, all fenced.
and with dwelling houses and
barns in at least toIcrahle conai.
ton without a single inhabitant.
Beyond, toward the Connecticut,
but hidden by the maple groves in
the valley, were, as they knew,
fifteen more, also deserted, vet all
well situated and showing signs of
their former fertility. Statistics
show that similar condition pre-
walls all over the state. In Wind
ham county alone are more than
forty thousand acres of Land, oace
cultivated, but now deserted, and
In the whole state the number OF
abandoned farms, complete with
houses, fences, barns, and out
buildings, must be several thous~
and. Yet Vermont is one OF the |
pleasantest, healthiest, most fertile. |
and most civilized states in the
union. In its river valleys is no
malaria, while its hills are covered
to the summit with vegetation.
The reckless agriculture which
has made portions of the south
nearly barren has never been ia,
vored in Vermont, where century
or more of stock farming has rather
enriched than exhausted the soil,
yet the people who once found
happy homes there have crowded
into the towsn, or have lett their
state altogether. In thirty years,
from 1850 to 1880. the increase of
population in Vermont was five
per cent, while the population of
she whole country more than
doubled and that OF the adjoining
state of Massachusetts increased hy
Dearly eight per cent. Not pre-
tending to any ideas on political
economy, we will not try to ac-
count for this strange condition Of
things, but it is certainly curious
that region so favored in climate
