Another California Slur.

Florida orange growers plant their
trees so close together that the limbs
will touch, or nearly so, and permit the
limbs to grow close down to prevent the
bad effect of cold winds. A traveller there
says that it is necessary to buy fertilizer
to the value of half the crop annually to
keep the groves in condition; also that the
owners of nearly all the groves are in
debt for money borrowed to carry on the
business, that the interest has not been
paid for the past three years and that
the parties who loaned the money dare
not foreclose because the groves will not
bring enough at forced sale to repay the
principal. 1t is only few OF the older
groves that have been planted some thir
ty years that pay we'll.
The above clipping is from the San
Francisco Chronicle, whose editor is evil
IDENTIFY laboring under the mistaken idea
that he can build up the orange industry
of California by tearing down that OF
Florida. But he can't. In the first place
the statement is so utterly devoid OF
truth that the animus of the remark
must be self-evident The ''traveler" who
said that it was necessary to buy
fertilizer to the value of half the crop an
nually to keep the groves in condition"
probably referred to young groves Just
. beginning to bear, if he did not, he
wilfulIy misstated the facts or was terri
bly, ignorant. In the case Of young
groves, ofcOurse it requires half the crop
to supply fertilizers, sometimes all of it
and sometimes twice as much as the
crop of the groves Yield, according en-
tirely to the age of the grove. But in
the case of old, fully matured groves,
this is not the case. For instance, we
know of one grove of Is acres not far
from this place that yielded Z, 500 boxes
of oranges. Oranges are now selling on
the trees for $3.50 per box. The
owner of the grove in question realized
more than this, as the fruit was shipped,
and the risk of transportation, etc., in
Cured. But estimating the price OBJ
tanned for the oranges at $3.50 per box,
the crop would yield in cash 81 ,25O, or
enough to purchase 291A tons OF the
very best fertilizer at $40 per ton Ii, as
the ''traveler" says, it takes half the
crop to buy the fertilizer, this grove
would get pretty good dose-14O% tons,
or 281 $50 pounds-nearly quarter OF
a ton to the tree.

what modified by few showers the first
part of the month.
Operations in the garden have been
greatly retarded, and it is now too late
to do anything in the way of putting in
a market garden, except for the local or
home market.
This may be done now where soil is
sufficiently damp to terminate seed and
it will certainly rain again in a short
time. Vegetables, such as beans, peas,
potatoes, turnips, melons, radishes, let
tuce, beet, squash, tomatoes, etc., ETC.,
that were planted just after the last
shOwer-tOward the first part OF the
month are nowup. However, the grounds
getting a little too dry for them, and
if your garden is not too large, it will pay
you to water your plants occasionally
OF course this is impracticable where the
garden is planted on large scale, but
where it is purely family one, it can be
done without great deal of trouble.
The soil of your garden should be thor
oughly prepared before planting com
mences. Upon this more than anything
else depends the success of your effort.
THINGS THAT SHOULD BE PLANTED.
Artichoke-Sow in drills, previously
we'll fortified, about u inches apart.
Keep we'll watered until vigorous. But
little cultivation.
Snap Beans.-Every body knows how
to plant and raise them. Have the soil
rich, drills two feet apart and drop the
seed three inches from each other. If
necessary water the plants and put into
each pail OF water a gallon or so of liquid
manure.
Beets.-Sow in drills twelve inches
apart, covering with soil an inch and
half deep and packing the earth firmly
upon them. Thin out to four inches.'
Celery.-Sow in hot beds. When the
plants are two or three inches high
transplant into rows three or four inches
apart. Keep them we'll watered and they
may remain here a month or two. Ii
they stop growing they will become
tough. Prepare your trenches by laying
we'll rOtted manure at the bottom and
mixing it thoroughly with the sand.
Set the plants at the bottom OF the
trenches six or eight inches apart Gull
tivate them thoroughly with the hoe as
they grow. Earth up as you cultivate
and the plants grow, a little at time.
Cucumbers.-Sow on the level-do not
hill up. Plant four feet apart each way.
When the vines begin to run, pinch off
the extremities, it will make them fruit
heavier.
Egg Plants-Sow in hot bed, and do
not transplant until the ground is in
good condition. Haveit thoroughly pull
verified and well fertilized, then set in
rows eighteen inches apart.
Lettuce.-Sow in rich, moist beds,
transplant if you wish it to head nicely,
| to rows eighteen inches apart.
Melons.-Plant on level. Ignore the
old "hills." They dry out too readily.
Work well-rotted manure into the soil
before putting in the seed, and when the
| seed terminate look out for worms and

Professor Collier, in communication
to the New England Farmer, says that
at the Geneva Experiment Station the
experiments show that the manure,
liquid and solid, is worth almost
exactly seventy per cent. OF the value OF
the food eaten by the COWS, and that the
liquid part is worth sixty-One per cent.
of the total value of the manure. The
cost of feed per cow per year is $52, and
seventy per cent. OF this gives $36.40 as
the value of resulting manure, and sixty

value of theliqnid. Isn't thatworth look

diaus who have been taught in Eastern schools
and have become familiar with the life of great
cities have thereafter taken the most conspic-
nous parts in fanatica disturbances.
Two or three years ago crazy notion not
wholly unlike the one now agitating so many
Of the tribes, got abroad among the Crows Of
Montana, and its results well illustrate the ef-
feet OF religious fanaticsm among these peo-
nile, and afford sharp admonition to the In
dian Bureau as to its present duty. The
Crows, be it remembered, are slothful; spirit
Less beggars, wholly unlike the cruel Sioux or
the daredevil Cheyennes. And yet, dull and
oowardy as they are, they were quickly worked
into humor which did not subside without
bloodshed, and which might have been par
ticuIary harmful had not the first blood that
was split been the blood of the scamp who
caused the trouble. A young chief, who en-
ioyed the ditbyrambic title Of Hangs-Up-His-
Tail, went about procIaiming that he could
make medicine which would render the white
mans bullets harmless, and that il the Crows
would receive his medicine and then go and
expel the troops from Fort Custer they would
take the leading place among the Indian family
in the redemption of the Western plains from
the white man. Hangs-Up- His-TaiPs scheme,
It will be noticed, is substantially that which
the expected Messiah is counted on to execute.
Both agree to render the Indian impervious to
bullets and thus place .he white man at his
mercy. This crazy Crow stalked up and down
the bluffs along the Little Big Horn, and per-
formed his incantations so effectually that he
soon had small army of followers, and the
Crow Agency was practically in his possession.
In this emergency cavalry company from
Fort Custer was summoned, and it was soon
evident that some fighting had to be done to
get hold of Hangs-Up-l Install. Fortunately,
at the first fire, the medicine chief himself fell,
and his followers reluctantly abandoned their
dream. Its power for harm, however, had been
clearly demonstrated.

THE COMING OF THE GHOSTS.

General Miles adds his testimony to that of
the Indian Agent at Standing Rock as to the
new fanaticism which has sprung up among the
Sioux. 1t is undoubtedly serious affair. No
class of savages is more widely imaginative
than the American Indian and none is Ca
pable of wilder work under the influence Of
religious delusion. These facts are particular
" true of the Sioux, and although this new
dream of conquest is not confined to the Da-
kota tribes, it seems to have originated among
them, and is receiving its greatest power for
harm from their belief in it, They are not
only by far the most numerous body of wild
Indians now living, but they are the bravest.
tbe cruelest the most fanatical and the least
tractable. They have the best leaders and the
largest resources. They are, of all, the most
devoted to their tribal customs They are
proud of their history, loyal to their traditions
and faithful to their chief men. A large body
of them is still wild, implacable and vicions.
The Indians composing ii rarely appear at the
agencies and cling tenaciously to their bar
barous ways They entertain vast contempt
for the white mans civilization, and keep their
minds ever dwelling on the time when the
Indian will again be supreme on the soil of
which they consider that he has been despoiled
only as punishment of the Almighty.
The Coming of the Ghosts is not strange
idea to the Indian mind. In one form or an
other it is common superstition, and although
large sections Of every tribe have seemed, from
time to time, to grow weiker in the faith they
put in it, there is no doubt that concerted action
on the part OF their chiefs and mediGne-m men
might easily revive it. Fortunately, the red
man has only feeble talent for organization.
Men like Joseph, the Nez Perces, able to direct
large bodies OF savages and to compel obedi-
ence to his will, are exceedingly rare, and when
they have developed In the past our great
Christian Government has generally succeeded
in bnbing them before they did much harm.
But it is almost impossible TO Gradients super
stiton from the mind of an Indian, and II Is
Astonishing what silly things he will accept and

MONEY IND BUSINESS.

The last week was as disastrous to stockholders
as to Republicans. There has been for some months
tendency toward decline, which cliques con-
trolling stocks have resisted with great Obstinacy.
But after the election the resistance almost COM
pletely disappeared. During the last week the
average price of stocks exclusive. Of trusts, de-
clined 81 sc per share, and is the lowest since

ception Of that week. the lowest since May, 1886.
