ErnestS ). Meyer and others for the Improvement OF
HOPKINS AVE.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-16

about Los Angeles have been making
from 5000 to $500 an acre off of cabbage
crops all this spring! The market has
ruled at 500 to $50 ton since last
March, and any farmer knows that ten
tons to the acre is not an astonishingly
large crop OF this vegetable. Growers of
early tomatoes, beans and peas along
the foothills have made as high as $500
an acre this spring. The soils here are
no better than those of the prairies OF
Illinois or Minnesota; but they are just
as good The advantage is in the
climate, which ripens crops of tomatoes
and peas all winter long. These crops
command absolutely fancy prices.
Hence the results given above. Year
by year the trade OF California with the
east must expand and create an outlet
for all these products of our soil that
command such phenomenal prices, en-
riching all engaged in the cultivation of
the ground
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-16

MERCHANTS who have been at the east
looking over the markets, return to Cal
ifornia to report very bright prospects
for our products this season. The fruit
crop there is very meagre in quantity
and Indifferent in quality. The stock of
old goods carried over is small and there
is a brisk inquiry for new-crop fruits.
The demand will run largely on good
dried fruits. The canning business has
been done so poorly for a few years past
that consumers are found to fight little
shy OF fruit put up in that way. The
driers, on the contrary, have been doing
more conscientious business, and their
fruits have given more general satisfac-
ton. This is not an unmixed
evil; for it costs less to dry fruit
than to can it. OF course there are
brands whose excellence has been so
high and so uniform for years that they
will hold their own always in spite of
what careless packers may do, and such
will benefit rather than suffer because
of the general state OF the market
Contracts are reported for dried fruits
that must surely encourage the pro-
ducers. Prunes are quoted at to-g
cents; apricots, II to IA cents; peaches,
IL to IL cents; nectarines, 10 to IL
cents. The run will be on first-class
fruit
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-16

LIFE in great city is fraught with so
much difficulty and suffering that
astonishment is natural that the poor
do not seek to make their quietus with
any means at hand. In this land of
large allotments for house-room, where
buildings ofmoderate height are the rule,
and where the climate secures good
health in general, we cannot realize
what it is to pass summer in such a
place as New York. For weeks at o
time the mercury will run between 50
and SO degrees, which means at least 100
to ITO in Los Angeles. The heat is
scarcely less at night than it is by day,
and the high buildings radiate heat day
and night, while they cut off every
breath of breeze that may be on the
wing. During these months a bit OF
steak will cost twenty-five to fifty cents
a pound. Fruit will rule away above the
reach Of all excepting the well-to-do, and
the quarters of the average tenement
house are SO narrow that the attempt to
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-16

swing kitten by the tail would be nee
essarily fatal to the subject of the ex-
pertinent. In these pent-up Uticas
where the poor are crowded like sheep
in pen, it is estimated that during the
summer months 100000 sick babies
struggle for a life that is not worth pos
sessing. At the present time there
is water famine in the empire
city of the continent, and
for days at a time the inhabitants of
these wretched tenements in the narrow
streets of the lower part of the city are
in almost as terrible a plight for water
as Dives in torments when he prayed
for Lazurus to drop one atom of water
on his tongue. The owners of these
pens are happily off at Newport, Sara
toga or Long Beach, enjoying pleasant
time, thanks to the high rents wrung
from the hands of these poor inmates of
these ten-story ramshacks, in which the
rats are hardly comfortable. No Won
der Bellamy's fool dream is popular.

A COUNTRY ooURTsHIP.

Driving the cows from the upper meadow
Beauty and Brindle and Bess--
Now in the sunlight, now in the shadow,
And now in the winds caress,
With song as sweet as at morn the starting
Is wont to the skies to trill
Mollie, the farmers daughter and darling,
Comes tripping adown the hill.
Purple and black are the braided tresses
Her dainty temples that crown;
Light is her step on the sward it presses,
AS fall of the thistledowp
The squirrels peep from the wayside hedges,
As the maiden moves along,
And count it chief Of their privileges
To list to her jocund song.
Down where the alders and slender rushes
Border the rivulet's banks
And the widened sweep Of the water gushes
Under bridges broad planks;
Wbistling love-song, in broken snatches-
His hat pushed back from his brows-
Robin, the miller, awaits and watches
For the coming of the COWS.
Up to their knees in the stream, the cattle
Drink deep Of its crystal flow;
Little they care for the lovers prattle
Or the bliss the twain may know;
Their heaving sides with their draughts dis
tended
They enter the path again,
And crop the grasses with heads low bended,
On either side Of the lane.
The shadows deepen; the dew is sprinkling
With diamonds all the meads;
And faint and far, in the distance tinkling,
The sound Of the bells recedes.
Still on the bridge where the water glistens,
AS the moonlight on it falls,
The miller talks, and the maiden listens,
But the cows are in their stalls.

: A. eEDBuo HUNTER.

scisnkists Discover . New Torment which
9f1 IL Worse Than Its Victim.
At recent meeting OF the San Fran
cisco Microscopical Society President
Wix0n exhibited specimen Of tho red
bedbug hunter (Opsicoetus personstus)
captured in San Joaquin valley. This
insect is about three-ffths of an inch in
length, and to the naked eye is of o
dark-brown color, but under the micro
scope shows black with greenish tints
under the eyes.
Though called bedbug hunter, this
little insect devotes but small portion
Of its time to hunting bedbugs. 1t feeds
on flies and worms and has been known
when hungry to attack sleeping human
ity. The bite inflicted by this insect is
very painful, and in some cases SO poi
sOnous as to cause death.
DIR. LIE Counte said that many people
bitten by this insect believe the bite to
be from the spider or bedbug-as the
wound produced by the insertion of the
proboscis through the epidermis is much
the same with all these insects.
Though not often resulting in death,
the bite is always accompanied with an
itching, or burning sensation at firsa
and afterward BY hard and highly in.
fammatory swelling, which lasts for
two or three weeks and is exceedingly
painful. rge3iY ~ =
