CALIFORNIA; Olive Industry.

"The olive industry is just now one of
intense interest to all farmers CT South
ern California" said James G. Bangs, of
San Bernardino, CAL, at the Windsor
Hotel. "The small fruit business, espe-
cially grape growing, is being overdone
in the opinion of many of our brainiest
men. In looking around for something
to pay equally well, which at the same
time would not be so subject to a crowded
market and need peculiar methods OF
transportation, we found the olive. You
know on the coast of the Mediterranean
the olive tree requires fourteen years OF
growth to bear fruit. By method &C
dentally discovered we in California can
grow trees so that they will bear in six
years. Howe Why, we cut off O twig
about as thick as your little finger some
twenty or twenty-five inches long and
simply stick it in the ground. The way
it sprouts is simply wonderful and we
promptly cut off all but one, the best
shoot. The fruit is crushed so that the
meat is taken off, but the stone is moi
crushed. This meat is put IN press and
the juice from it is composed OF water
and oil. The oil is taken up by absor
bent cotton and then squeezed and re-
fined, put into bottles and on the mar
ket. The profits are said to be large
and Judging by what have seen I should
say there was a comfortable living il
olive growing. ."-MeU York Telegram.

CREAM RAISING.

By far the greater proportion of butter
is still made from cream, raised by set
ting the milk. There is always some
loss, and generally good deal of loss,
in raising by gravity process. Ice water
will, however, enable the skillful dairy
man to beat the careless hand with the
separator. Cornell University, in New
York, experimental to ascertain which
method gave best results. Bulletin No.
80 says: "Where the milk was set in
the Cooley creamer with ice water at a
temperature of forty-four degrees, the
average per cent. of fat in the skim milk
was .23; where milk was diluted with
an equal weight of cold water and set in
the open air, the average per cent. of fat
in the skim milk was 1888; where milk
was diluted with twenty and fifty per
cent. of cold water, the average per cent.
OF fat in the skim milk was 1.24: where
milk was diluted with ten to 100 per
cent. of its weight of hot water, the
average per cent. of fat in the skim milk
was Ill; where milk was set in deep
cans without dilution, in running water
at sixty to sixty-three degrees, the aver
age per cert. of fat in the skim milk was
SO; where milk was set in shallow cans,
at sixty and sixty-four degrees, the aver
erage per cent. of fat in the skim milk
was AS; where milk was set ID shallow
pans and one-third of its weight of water
at 120 degrees added, the per cent. OF
fat in the skim milk was .75.-Rural

CARE OF COWS IN WINTER.

Where farmers have not already com.
Portable quarters provided for the win
ter accommodation of their animals, it is
not too early to begin preparing for
them. The horses are almost certain to
have the best, and as far as the sheep are
concerned, if they have dry shelter the
fleece affords good protection against
cold. Cattle are the animals that are
usually exposed, and in the case of cows
giving milk, it is not enough that they
are within doors during storms, but they
require a comparatively warm tempera-
ture in winter are they arc to be
profitable for their milk. Nothing will
sooner cause a shrinkage in the flow Of
milk than to leave cow shiveriag in
cold storm without protection, and the
effect of stabling her in building so
open that she is constantly exposed to
draughts of cold air is almost as bad.
The winter constable should be tight
enough to prevent the entrance of cold
air through cracks, doors and windows,
on level with the animals, so freely as
to chill them or to make them uncom-
Portable, and at the same time it should
be so constructed that there will be good
ventilation. This can be provided for
by small cupola at the top and a few
long, shallow openings under the pro-
iectinr caves. Thrc ugh these the vita
ted warm air brca Led y the animals
can escape, and at the same time suffi-
cient cold air will enter from the out
side and slowly descend without pro-
duciug GrGu,l: through the lower part
of the stable.
Attached to the cow stable there ought
to be a covered shed facing south, with
at least one side and end open, where
the dairy COWS may stand for a short
time during the winter sunshine of mild
days. At all other times in cold weather
they will be better off when confined in
clean, closed quarters. Too much atten-
ton cannot be given to cleanliness in
the cow static, for the newly drawn milk

IMPROVED EMULSION.

Last year, writes Professor A. J. Cook,
the Arkansas Experiment Station recon-
mended a modified kerosene emulsion,
found superior to the usual kind. A
kerosene extract of pyrethrum made by
filtering one gallon kerosene through
two pounds of the powder is used instead
Of the pure kerosene. Dissolve one
quart softsoap or one pound hard soap
in two quarts of water. While still hot
add one pint of the kerosene extract of
pyrethrum, and violently agitate till q
perfect emulsion is formed; properly
done, the material will look like cream
and the oil will never separate on stand
ing, even though diluted. To emulsify,
we must agitate the mixture violently.
This is best done by pumping back into
the liquid-easily done with a cheap
dollar pump; cannot be done by stirring.
This is more powerful than the simple
kerosene emulsion and is safe on all
foliage when diluted to a one-twelfth
mixture, while one fifteenth mixture is
as strong as is safe to use in case of the
regular kerosene mixture. We diluted
the softsoap emulsion by adding as much
water, and the hardsoap by adding twice
as much water as we took of the emul-
sion. This season currants, hollyhocks,
potatoes and many other plants have
been greatly injured by species of bugs
sucking their juices. The pyrethro
emulsion has served to. kill the bugs
without injury to the plauts.-NsO York

Most Powerful of Explosives.

Experiments with the new explosive,
"fortis," were held at Liege, France, the
members of the commission leaving
afterward for Ergy to draw up its re-
port, which is being kept secret. The
trials were made with a view to ascertain
the capabilities of the explosive: first,
when underground; second, when ex-
ploded simultaneously in several places;
and third, when compared with other ex.
plosives.
From all these trials it appears that
"fortis" is a striking success, really
startling result having been obtained. 1t
is estimated to have an explosive power
of thirty per cent. greater than any of its
rivals now on the market. 1t is said to
have surpassed the expectation even Of
its inventor.
In illustration of It's power it may be
stated that cavity thirteen feet deep
having been drilled into solid rock and
charged with relatively small quantity
of ':fortis," the explosion detached a
mass over two hundred feet in height,
breaking it into pieces of from fifty to
sixty pounds in weight and projecting
them to distance of $50 yards, where
they came near destroying the house of
the superintendent OF the quarry where
the experiment occurred.-BoSt0n Tran

In the cab of every locomotive on the
Pennsylvania Railroad is neat little tin
box, almost square, in which is packed
several necessary articles for use in
case of accident. This is very neces-
sary and humane precautlon, and every
engine must be provided with one of the
boxes, which are all made after the
same pattern. and each of which contains
piece of linen, rubber compress, q
package of absorbent cotton, six rolls of
bandages and a pyramid containing pins.
There are plain directions on the box
how to use these various articles before
the arrival of a surgeon.-Pitts6urs

yERMIN ON THE FOWLS.

The real amount Of damage done by
lice and parasites generally on ponltry is
not commonly known. With nine-tenths
of the people, whenever fowl dies, it is
said to be from cholera, whereas the true
cause at the bottom is much more likely
to be vermin or roup. Thousands of
fowls are dwarfed and killed by the
vermin which infest. their bodies and
houses, ESPECIALLY in summer time.
There are parasites of all sizes and colors,
that are continually sapping out the very
life from the fowls, and making them so
weak that they are easily victims to oil
diseases. Your fowls drop off, one by
one, and you wonder what's the matter.
Reader, if you have a poultry-house,
there are probably thousands of vermin
swarming in it now. Some are so small
and of such color that it is hard to see
them. Shake one of the fowls over the
sleeve of your white shirt, and look we'll
for the result. You need not expect the
chick to grow fast, nor the older ones to
give good returns in eggs, while there
are lice about. Now, to kill these pests
and to prevent them, clean the house
well, take whitewash Ito which may be
added, if handy, d little carbolic acid),
and apply thoroughly to the roosts, nests,
cracks, etc. ,and if you do the work well
you have got them. After this, once q
week, rub coal oil on the poles just
before the fowls 60 to roost. Three or
four times year fumigate the house
with burning sulphur and resin while
the fowls are outside. Branches Of
cedar tree in the house, or carbolic
powder kept scattered around on the
floor or in the Iests, or tobacco stems
and leaves used the same way, are excel
lent preventives.
Vermin do not like the smell of cedar,
and generally keep away from it. Oil is
death to them. But do not put too
much coal oil on a mother hen, for it
will kill the chicks that brood under her,
as we'll as kill the vermin. No one can
estimate the damage they do. Give the
house good dose of whitewash now,
before you forget it, and oil the poles
weekly, and it will pay you big
