Largest olive Orchard in the World.

The largest olive orchard in the world
belongs to MIR. Ellwood Cooper, of Santa
Barbara County, California. Mr.. Cooper
purchased the land occupied by this
mammoth grove of Oriental trees away
back in 1871, the entire orchard, includ-
Jug the portions of it which are devoted
to the culture of English walnuts,
japanese persimmons, almonds, etc.,
comprising 100 acres. The orchard
now has 10, 900 olive trees, 800 in full
bearing, the remainder being young trees
set out during the past year and half.
Besides the olive tree there are 5000
English walnut trees, 10000 almond
trees and about 1000 other fruit and nut
trees. The 10000 olive trees yielded
10000 quart bottles of olive oil last
year, which found ready market at
$1.25 per bottle; the nut trees bore
thousands of bushel. of nuts, to say
nothing of the japanese persimmeus.
Taken all in all, it has been calculated
that Mr.. Cooper's orchard brings an in
come of not less than $500 per acre
every year.-St. Louis Republican.

CURING MEAT.

There are many ways of curing meat
and also of keeping out skippers; it is
difficult to say which is tho best. To
sugar cure use eight pounds of brown
sugar. five pounds of fine salt aud one
and one-half pounds of saltpetre. This
should be the proportion, using enough
to rub all over the meat thoroughly.
Let it lie five days, then take up and rub
again, and repeat this the third time,
adding small quantity of ground black
pepper. The rubbing must be thor
ough. The meat may be picked by
using brine made in the same way; boil
and skim it we'll before pouring over the
meat. Te canvas take down the meat
after smoking, wrap with heavy paper,
then wrap the second time and cover
with heavy sheeting, sewing it on in or
der to make it fit closely. Make paste
of flour and water aud let it stand until
it sours, add some chrome yellow in
water and mix with the paste and paint
over the cloth or dip into it and hang up
to dry. Some use creosote in curing and
smoking to keep out the flies; Others
pack the meat in charcoal, which is one
of the best plans that can be followed ,as
after smoking it will keep the meat clean
and sweet. Whatever plan is followed
the smoking must be done aud the meat
taken down and packed away before the
flies make their appearance in the spring
to deposit their eggs upon it.-St.
Louis Republic.

pEHoRNINa LOCALIZED.

Many writers against the practice, now
becoming common, of cutting the horns
off, point with pride" to the very fool
ish decisions of the English courts on
this point few years since. Most, if
not all, of those judgments have been re-
versed, and now the National Federation
of Butchers and Meat Trade Association,
assembled at Liverpool, resolved as fol-
lows. "That this Federation is in favor
Of dishorning being legalized as a means
of preventing injury to cattle in transit. I"
No doubt Parliament will soon pass a
law legalizing the practice, though all the
good such law could do would be to
put the burden of proof on the person
who makes the complaint. Now it is
necessary for the defendant to prove in
each case that the dehorning does not
cause unnecessary pain. The cranks are
getting tired of sympathizing with the
vicious brutes that uso horn, while for
getting the innocent creature that gets
gored. This is good sign, and we may
all hope soon to see the last of dangerous
cimetars on the heads of cows and bulls.

ground down level aud s0wed to rye to
plow down for corn or millet for fodder,
taking of in time to prepare for wheat to
be seeded down the following spring to
clover. Sometimes plant potatoes on
every third furrow when blowing down
the rye, and If it should be a dry season
the potato crop will grow right along as
the rye seems to retain the moisture. /
have had potatoes thus planted that were
green and fourishing weeks after all or
dinary tender vegetation was blackened
by the frost. In digging potatoes SO
planted, it Is better to plow them out.
It is enough to make man enthusiastic
to see the clean crop of tubers lying in a
rich bed of decomposed vegetation.
This plan of enriching the farm may be
carried into the garden patch, taking off
squash and other vegetables, and sowing
to rye to plow down for the same kind
of crops the following season. No mat
ter If it does not come up that fall,
it will come all right in the spring, and
only be a few days behind the earlier
sown crop.-Ameiican Agriculturist.

IMPROVEMENT OF POOR LAND.

The use OF green crops for the improve
ment of poor land is not so easy as is
commonly thought. Green manure is
most effective on good land, aud for the
purpose of n ailtaining its fertility, rather
than of Restoring it when this has been
lost. The crop to be plowed under, of
course, adds nothing to the land that has
not been taken from it. But it is very
rare that any land is so impoverished that
q thorough plowing and dressing of
lime will not bring some crop that may
be turned under with benefit. 1t might
bc>suggested that such land be plowed
two inches deeper than it has been pre-
viously, Ind given dressing of twenty
five or thirty bushels of lime to the acre.
Then sow with buckwheat m June, using
one-half bushel of seed per acres Then
SOW one peck of clover seed per acre and
harrow it lightly with brush harrow or
plank drag. This covering of the seed
secures it against spell of dry weather
that might occur.
The buckwheat is harvested in the
usual manner, and the clover will make
a sufficient growth to go through the
winter safely. The next year crop of
hay is taken, and the second growth is
left on the land, to be turned under for
corn the next year. When the corn is
laid by the land is sown with clover again,
and the seed is covered in by light V
shaped harrow run through the rows.
The corn is worked level, so that the
seeding may be rs even as possible. This
alienation may be made once more, when
the second growth of the clover is turned
under for wheat, and 300 pounds OF
superphosphatc Of lime may be applied
per acre. BY proceeding in this way
and blowing deeply the land may be
much improved in few years.-New
York Times.

HOW TO MAKE STEAK TENDER.

The tenderness of steaks depends
upon two things. First, the excellence
of the meat; second, the length Of time
that it has been kept at the butchers.
The very tender steaks prepared in
French restaurants are treated with vine.
gar as follows: Put on platter three or
four tablespoonfuls of salad oil, or just
enough to cover the bottom of the plat.
ter. Upon this pour one-half as much
vinegar as you have oil. Lay the steak
upon this. Let it remain in cool
place three or four hours before dinner,
turning it every half hour until time to
broil or fry. If it be intended for
breakfast put in the oil and the vinegar
about six o'clock in the evening; turn
it over at bedtime and early in the
morning before rising. g.--New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
