AN Easv Method Of Getting Ice.

An easy way to lay in a stock of ice
for summer Use is practiced by a Mime
sofa farmer. In the winter he packs
drifted snow in his icehouse, for few
nights, wetting it with well water.
When frozen hard it is covered with
sawdust. Last summer his stock of
snow ice lasted until late in September;
it was just as good and clear as river ice,
and he hadn't the trouble of hauling it.

Those who have paid no particular

very inadequate idea OF the extern and
Importance of the berry-growing indus
try in and about Pasadena. This season
has seen great increase in the busi-
ness, and during the past few weeks
regular shipments of blackberries and
strawberries have gone forward to Riv-
erside, San Diego and Los Angeles,
with few to eastern points. The
acreage in berries is, of course, much
larger than ever before, while the
growing OF new and desirable varieties
has made a better demand than
formerly. The home consumption has
increased also, and the result is our
berry growers who have good article
! find an active demand for their products
and are having profitable season. Our
fruit stands have for. weeks shown a
tempting display of blackberries, straw
berries and raspberries, which have sold
at falrly remunerative prices, while
Wells, Fargo & Co. have shipped to other
markets an average of about 500 pounds
9 day, and are still keeping up this rate.
OpA AoWbOifiC5 nave COumduutu lTOn Six
to eight cents pound by Wholesale, and
10. biackberries growers have been able
to 6 four to five cents pound.
Th three or four acres of ground
will pi duce enough berries to keep a
consider BILE force of men at work and
supply large demand, is evident to
those who are acquainted with the busi-
ness. Mr.. Gates, for instance, whose
Belmont straw berries command higher
price than any other variety and who is
for this reason chiefly known as straw
berry grower, also grows blackberries;
and although both these products are
from less than five acres of ground, he
keeps ten to twelve men constantly en-
ployed, and his weekly pay roll amounts
to $85 and 500. During this season he
has so far paid out over $1,000 for labor
alone on the five acres, and 80 with 9TH
ers.
The growing of small fruits is import
ant because it puts to use in profitable
way small areas of ground and thus
places the small land owner in posi-
tion to compete with the wealthy owner
OF orange groves. 1t brings in larger
population and disburses in the COM
munity more money for labor than is
possinls IN any O5usF furIn m frHih grow
ing. Not every locality, to be sure, is
suitable for raising small fruits, but
there is large area in this immediate
vicinity that is well adapted to it, and
as it is seen that other less favored
places are market for berries, the in
dustry here becomes more stable and
certain. Pasadena Star.

inexpedient to try and propagate it in
this way, because the species is dim-
cious and large proportion Of the
seeding plants will be males. AS to
the pistillate plants. there is no certain
ty as to what quality OF fruit they NAV
bear. The only sure method to se-
cure good fruit is to take suckers from
about the base of bearing trees which
have proven to be choice varieties.
These, when roots are formed, will
grow and produce fruit like the orici-
nal tree. This method is practiced In
date-growing countries. Many growers
do not have even one male tree, but de-
pend upon buying staminate flowers OF
their neighbors at the proper season.
These are tied to the leaf stocks above
the clusters of pistillate flowers, so that
the pollen may fall upon them. One
male tree will produce pollen for from
twenty to fifty pistillates. Within the
last two years a number OF suckers from
bearing trees of the very choicest varie-
ties grown in Egypt. Algeria and Arabia
have been imported by the United

Another Theory.

N. w. Motherall and DIR. L. E. FELTON,
spent last Friday examining grape vines
with powerful microscope.
The result of their labor convinces
them that the belief that the grape
vines of Fresno county are afflicted with
mildew is a popular error, notwithstand-
ing the theories of Eisen, Wilkenson
and many other scientific men who have
who have written great deal concern
ing that so-called disease of the vine.
Messrs. Motherall and FELTON, made q
careful examination of vines supposed
to be affected with the disease, also ex-
amined vines not afflicted, and their
conclusion was that the same growth or
substance was upon one vine as upon
the other.
"We ascertained," said Mr.. Mother
all, "that all the vast expense the raj
sin growers have been putting upon
their vineyards in. sulphuring their
vines to prevent this so-called mildew is
waste of time and money, and that all
the trouble has not done a particle of
good.
'It would seem little strange that
so many experienced growers have so
long been led astray by theory
which has no foundation in fact But
if further investigation will substanti-
ate this new discovery claimed to have
been made by our people with the mi
croscope, and the worthlessness of sui
| phuling is demonstrated beyond a
doubt, one very large item of expense
connected with raisin-growing has been
abolished.
.The disease OF mildew is known as
| couture in France. Here it is or has
been supposed to be powdered mildew.
Its appearance is signalized by the
dropping of grapes in the spring. Moth
erall's theory is that it is neutral salt
1t appears upon the leaf around the
edges, also the stems and berries. He
says this salt comes from the sap of tine
| vine, and sulphur has no effect upon
it, Hanford Sentinel.

a New Grain from q wild Goose.

= C>--
G. w. Coplen of Dathh is this year
tenderly nursing couple of stalks of
wheat which have curious history,
says the Puget Sound Mail. In the
fall of 1890 wild goose killed on one
OF the islands near the Straits of Fuca
was found to contain seeds resembling
wheat. These were planted and grew
profusely, Mr.. Coplen securing two
sample grains where it had grown at
Nelson, B. @. The grains are nearly
twice the length of ordinary wheat,
shaped something like grain of rye,
but much thicker. The two grains
germinated quickly, sent up thrifty
blades and are doing we'll. 1t is hoped
this will prove a valuable variety. 1t
would seem that the bird from which
the original grains were taken must
have found the plant in the remote
north. and If no grain is found now cul-
tivated in the kno vn world like this,
still further color will be given to the
supposition that there is a polar sea
with vegetable life on its shore.-[E Elk.
