THE PASSING THRONG.

81 have had great trouble during the past
year," said Insect Pest Inspector d. NJ Jesse,
yesterday, with Eastern nurserymen shipping
lousy stock into the state. 1t is waste OF time
to warn people against receiving uninspected
stock, and the only way they can be made to
realize their foolishness is by experience. They
think they are buying cheaper from Eastern
nurserymen than they can from those here at
home, and even in this they are most times mis-
taken. l recollect one case where / made a
trade with salesman for an Eastern nursery,
selling him q lot of young peach trees, of which
he was short, at IS cents apiece. Well, sir, the
fellow went to my nearest neighbor and sold
him those trees for 81 apiece. A short time
aiterward l visited this neighbor and he was
Dragging about his new trees, and he told me
where he got them and bow much they cost, etc.
Well, you ought to have heard that man swear
when told him had sold them to the agent
and would have let him have them for 20 cents
apiece. But as he was buying from an Eastern
house he thought he was getting something bet
ter than We had"
"The advent of spraying marks a new era in
horticulture in this state" said President Henry
BUGGY, of the state board of horticultural COM
mssioners, last night at the Grand. Hitherto
the greatest difficulty fruit rasers have en-
countered has been the pestferous insects, but
now we shall be able to get rid of them in short
order. The board has indosed DR.. Everett's
compound for spraying, and i think it fills q
long felt want 1t is sure death to the insects,
harmless to human beings, does not affect the
fruit foliage Or bark OF trees and is simple and
cheap. costing only from One-tenth of cent to
a cent a gallon. The Embarrassing industry
in this state is rapidly growing
one. There are about $1,000 acres planted
in fruit trees in this state, besides those devoted
to small fruits and garden patches The annual
product now is about 81, 100000, and in five
years, when all the trees now planted are bear
ing, the product of this state will aggregate
$3,0U0,000 annually"
Gen. F. C. Barlow, of New York, is at the
Rainier for q few weeks. He is counsel for the
Everett Land Company, and his business here is
TO look after the interests OF the company in the
litigation affecting the title TO its lands pending
in the Federal and state courts. Said he last
night: "Regarding the results of the recent
election. perhaps it will be sufficient to say
am Mugwump-a Cleveland Mugwump-and
have faith that he will give the country a good
administration. No. don't believe he has been
party to any deal with Tammany. Tammany
simply had TO Vote the Democratic ticket this
year. and that dinner given 10 Cleveland and
Croker and Sheehan was simply gracious way
of letting them down easy. They wanted TO
show that they intended TO act straight with
Cleveland, and the dinner was gotten up Tor the
purpose OF bringing them together l Go not
think that Cleveland has made any promises
which will in any manner tie his hands, and
know he has the confidence of the business men
OF New York."
Judge George Turner was in the city yester-
day, registered at the Occidental He said he
was merely up on business and intended to re.
