CaIifornla'e Pure Wines.

1t is q fact not generally known, but
nevertheless true, that California
wines are purer than any other in the
world. This is not because the vine
growers are more honest than. their
European confreres, but because it
does not pay to adultcrate the juice of
the grapes. The supply with us is
greater than the demand, and grape
juice is cheaper than any foreign in
gredient. Such thing as the failure
of the crop is unknown, while in
Germany and France if vineyard
produces one good crop in five years il
is doing well. We shall, therefore
never have the difference in the
growths OF different years that is SC
common abroad and makes epicurei
so particular as to the vintage SGT be
fore them.

have Matched two internal parasites
from infested leaves received from San
Gabriel and Alhambra, infested with
the yellow scale, Aspidiotus citrinus.
| also hatched one of these parasites (Co-
cophagus citrinus) from the same scale
found on trees recently from Japan.
This goes to show that we have at least
these enemies of the scale, whose de-
crease must be attributed to these friend
ly insects. Since the issuance of bulletin
No. 81, on parasites, there has been
considerable uniavorahle comment, in
tirely premature, that the scale has not
decreased, ETC. 1 regret that those who
are so willing to criticise cannot be made
to understand the state of things.
When shown the insect and the
work accomplished they have been at
loss to understand how such minute
insect can accomplish so much good as
have attributed to it. But were they
to know and had seen the condition of
the orchards three years ago, they would
no longer doubt my assertions. This
parasite, however, only works upon the
one species mentioned.-[A Alexander

unfavorable occurs between this and the
time of ripening, the quality will be ex-
ira good. A full and fine crop in pros
pect is reported from the Santa Clara

good prospects.
1t is true every late season that decid-
uous fruits ripen with rush when the
hot days come. AS this is unmistaka-
bly, backward year, our fruit growers
will wisely prepare everything for hand
ling their crops on time. All facilities
for picking, boxing and hauling should
be made ready, pickers engaged and
markets looked up, or preparations made
for home curing if preferred. We might
save our readers many dollars by re-
minding them that this season careful
grading and handling of fruits will be
absolutely necessary, as eastern compe-

The conversation was conducted as

separated with great show of courtesy,

TEXANS LOSE FAITH.
They Say the Governments Rain making
was u Failure.

was Failure.
SAN ANTONIO, TENAs. October 22.-
Private advices received from San Di-
ego and other town Of the section
where the Governments rain-makine
experiments were made utterly dis
credit the first reports, and the cor
respondents assert that, after nearly
seventy-two hours Of continued bonn
bardment, not enough rain fell to lay
the dust. What did fall was brought
down by norther that blew up that
night, and caused showers at many
points outside the sphere of the eXplo-
sionS.
In the San Diego part Of the coun-
try the whole thing is regarded as a
grand fizzle, and in support of this
view of the matter inquirers are re-
ferred TO any reputable citizen Of San
Diego, Texas. The money for the San
Diego experiment was put up by
neighboring stockmen. The amount
was $4,000, and they are all protesting.
They say that the results in Texas, far
from being a complete demonstration
of the practicability Of the theory as
laid down by Dyrenforth and young
Ellis clearly show that there is nothing
in it.
In the weeks spent on the "Cn
Ranch, near Midland, slight rains fell
in that section. At the same time last
year miles of the Southern Pacific
track were washed out by tremen-
dous downpour. No rain-maker was
in sight then.
At Ell Paso the only result was a
heavy precipitation, likely to occur at
any time. At Corpus Christi it rained
continuously from natural causes, and
the cloud compellers had no chance to
do anything. At San Diego the result
has been practically nothing. 1t is
stated that Congress will be asked for
large appropriation to continue the eX-
peliments. The ranchmen of Western
Texas would like to see the Govern
ment put up some money; they will
put up no more themselves.

THE FLORIDA ALLIANCE
The Announcement of Its Weak Member
ship Creates Great Surprise.

DADE CITY, Fla, Oct. 23.-The
principal work ofthe Farmers Alliance
to-day was an amendment to the con-
stitution. Thatinstrumenc was patched
and repatched beyond recognition. The
Presidents salary was cut down from
$500 to nothing and other salaries kept
practically where they are at present.
The Secretary's report shows decrease
in the total membership in this State
from 1855 to $3.50. This is alleged to
be- on account Of increased dues. The
Alliance has heretofore claimed a
membership of 20,0C) and this an
nouncenent creates great surprise. The
Democratic party numbers $4,000 to
40, COO voters, and Alliancemen could
hardly control the State convention
with only one-seventh of its member
ship. A resolution to endorse the
Worlds Fair movement in this State
was voted down almost unanimously.
At II p. m. the Alliance was still in
session, a vast amount of unfinished
business being still before it.
