CROPS IN THE ORCHARD.

The California Chronicle says there Is ap-
parently never-ending discussion as to the
propriety and de STABILITY Of planting crops
of one kind or another between the rows Of
young orchard trees. Columns have been
written in favor Of such planting, and, at
the same time columns condemning it. The
Chronicle concludes that both sides may be
correct TO 4 certain extent. The right or
the wrong hangs on the kind Of crops to be
planted II the crop is some plant of low
growth, as Irish or sweet potatoes, sugar
beets, turnips, bush beans. melons and the
likl, and the culture is level, there is no OBJ
lection to its occupancy of the young or
chard Indeed, the cultivation bestowed
upon the crop will be advantageous to the
trees, while not enough Eutriment will be
taken from the soil 10 make any perceptible
difference in the growth Of the trees.
But if corn, of something similar, be
planted it viii of necessity prevent the
trees from obtaining all the light and air
that is needed and they will become stunted.
Young orchards have been put back two
years by unwise planting Of crop of corn
among the trees. Cotton is also supposed
to be much against young orchard trees on
account Of its long tap root and deep feed
ing peculiari,ies.
We could never oppose the growing Of

| though the boxes in the cucumber house
are set nearer the ground, being only from
| four TO six inches above it.
The best thing that the News man learned
| in the course of his visit to the new farm
| points to Mr.. Hastings method OF protect
| ing his cucumber house plants from the eff
| fects Of cold in winter. No fre-heatins ar
rangement is employed. II the tempera-
| ture outside falls low enough to Iniure ten
| der vegetables the artesian water is turned
into the building and allowed TO flow over
| the floor and beneath the boxes until the
| danger Of frost has passed. The water
| comes from the well at a temperature OF
| 70 degrees, and hence the water keeps the
house entirely warm enough. On the l4th
| Of January last the outside temperature
went down to % above zero. but in the
| cucumber house. flooded with artesi2n
| water, It never went below 49, being the
| freezing point, there was still six degrees
to go ere the tenderest vegetable could pos
| sibly have been injured in the least The
| artesian water flowing through it held the
temperature inside the building twenty-five
boxes were set low, 70 be near the warm
water.
| Here is something entirely worthy of
! due pouderatiou at the hands OF Texans.
| The water from our deep ar,esian wells
! Is discharged al q temperature considera-
/ bly, above 20, and throughout all last
winter the outside temperature, as far
FalI halo
! From this it can be seen that any man
here with good artesian well might have
house for growing tender vegetables all
through the winter. He could doubtless
make money at it, for the vegetables
placed fresh upon the market would GER
tainly bring gilt-elge prices. The structure
| would not al al be an expensive one-the
glass and sash would involve the heaviest
outlay Well put up on the plan described,
| such structure would last many years.
II must be admitted that billiards Of short
duration DO sometimes reach Texas with
severity sufficient 70 carry the temperature
considerably below % deg. above zero, but
such occurrences are not TO be expected
often A visitation Of this character might
ar;estan water as to inlurc very tender
plants in he garden house. For = possible
emergency OF this kind we could be pre-
pared with some kind OF very cheap 81
raugcmeng for aiding our artesi IL water
with : little artificial warmth. Tho dGra-
ton Of these low temperatures IS always
extremely briet-a single fIIng-up would
possibly be AL that was needed in any case,
and it IS highly probable that there would
very often be many years at stretch in
which no firing whatever would be ueces-
sary. To US it looks as if there might be
big money in this thing for our people Of
the great artesian areas in Texas.
Mr.. Hastings is in every way pleased
with the showiugs Of his irrigated farm, 50
far. Mark you, he began operations only
last August, and therefore could get in no
regular crop, of course, but he now reports
having already sold $4,000 cabbage plants
and over 10000 cauliaower plants. He
wants it distinctly understood he has no
land for sale.

low crops in the orchard, says the Chronicle,
for they keep the land bringing return
until the trees are old enough TO do soTne-
thing in that way. IN a word, they cancel
most of the cost Of producing an orchard,
while they do the young trees no kind OF
harm. Still one has no trouble in finding
some expert" who will periodically raise
his voice and use his pen in denunciation Of
the idea. Theoretically there may be found
reasons to condemn the practice. Practi-
cally there is nothing within the limits de-
scribed that can be said against it.

A FOssnIzEp COW TANK.

As you appear willing to give information
on all subjects ! would like TO ask you about
my well AT about siEty-tiv5 feet down 1
struck layer Of smooth gravel or finty
pebbles such as one often sees along the
beds of creeks. The layer was about four
feet thick, and in it was weak vein OF
water. Just under the gravel | struck an
immense amount Of very nard water that
smells like Il stagnant pool that cows have
had free access to, using 1t for al that it
was worth; and it tastes somewhat Ike it
smells The gravel mentioned is coated
over moro or less with q black, greasy mat
ter like SCOT, presenting the appearance OF
having been smoked with coal oil lamp.
1t rubs off easily At times the water has
q greasy film on it. What would you say Of

The indications would seem to point 70 a
bed of sphaltum near at hand, but your
geological formation is not the correct one
for such deposit Tho most reasonable
hypothesis would put it that the water
comes through a heavy bed Of Ignite
which, as you doubtless understand, is an
imperfect coal.
II we were not afraid that the scientists
would get after Us, we might suggest that
you had struck a fossiiized Texas cow

WHY Cummings Voted.

Washington Post: Alex Cummings is
one Of the jolliest of congressman. He was
telling Senator Sanders, Hon. G. A. Broad
water, Of Montana; Tom Murray, of New
York, and other friends at the Arlington
last night why he came to take such a spe-
cial interest in the election of Mr.. Crisp.
It seems that the journalist statesman had
the felicitous experince of marching
through Georgia" as tramp printer in
1857. He landed in Macon with rs cents in
his pocket, but he had the good luck to get
a job of type-sticking on the local paper the
very next day. The day before he had
heard Alex Stephens deliver a great polit-
ieal speech, breathing strong devotion to
the Union. It caught the heart of the
bright young peripatetic printer, and 50
when, sticking type" the next day, he
heard his employer bewail the fact that
they had no report of t'Little Aleck's'
speech, Amos volunteered to write an ac-
count Of it. He did so to the extent of
three columns, and the editor praised him
to the skies.
1t was the recollection of those by-gone
days Of his youth, and the kind treatment
Of the people of the ''Goober State" that
first inclined Cummings to favor Crisp.

McGRAW AND WHITE.
The Latters Deposition Said to be a
Conspiracy Of Politicians.


Sprague Advertiser: In skipping from
municipal to state politics it is fair to pre-
sumo that the deposition of Harry White
from the mayorship was practically the re-
suit Of conspiracy originated by the Nc
GraW factions-McGraw was afraid that if
Whites head was not cut off he would
continue to figure as dangerous factor in
King and Pierce county politics. There is
evidently a combine between McGraw and
Sullivan to control King and Pierce coun-
ties in the interest of Allen. 1t is also true
that the Squire faction is lending them all
the assistance within it's power. The plan
is understood to be to send McGraw to
congress and return Allen to the U, S,
Senate: The Advertisers informant,
who is prominent Spokane pol
l4tlePian, stated that sam Hyde,
John y. Wilson and Judge Turner
|: have the strong personal following
IN Spokane county. 1t is believed that
these gentlemen's chances for political pre-
terment so far as the goyernorship is con
cerned, are superior to any Sound mans
chance, for the reason that the leading pol
lticians of the Sound have been more or
less identified with the late Haines and
O'Brlen lmbroglio. There is no question
but, that so far as Lincoln county is con-
cerned, it stands ready to support Judge
turner Tor anything within reason, but, it
is not thought by Intelligent Judges of the
political situation that Wilson will be able
to carry the county unless some miracu-
!ous changes are made in the attitude of
influential republicans toward him.
