too severe punch. and he gave it back
with interest. This the substitute also re-
paid, and before the audience could re-

Typical Facts About Southern
California Ranches.
The Fig Industry as 1t Exists in
This State.
Black Walnut Trees - Lit chinuts The
Soil for Olive Culture-Deep
P1Owing-The Planting
of Orchards.

Fig culture in California has not
reached anything like the extent to
which it should be eventually bro lght.
That it is possible to produce in many
parts of California a fig falling little
short Of the best Smyrna article in
point OF excellence can no longer be
doubted. Perhaps the backward state
of this industry is to be largely account
ed for by the fact that suitable varieties
were not among the earlier paintings,
and the proper conditions Of growth
and preparation for the market
were not understood by our peo-
pie. The fig industry has been
similar in many respects to lemon cul-
ture. The same lack of early knowledge
of varieties and methods caused losses
and discouragements in fig culture, but
better knowledge of varieties and modes
of cultivation and manipulation for the
market has stimulated the industry in
various parts of the state. Both
black and white fgs are cultivated in
this state, but the white varieties
are now taking the lead in new plant
ings. The first carload of white figs
went east from Fresno during the sea-
son OF 1889, and the industry has become
quite we'll established in that county,
while more or less figs are produced
in great many other counties.
Placer county has shown some ex-
cellent results from fig culture; so
also have Los Angeles and other
southern counties. The cured crop
OF 1883 amounted to about $4,000
pounds, and to 100000 pounds for the
season of 1890. The crop is increasing
from year to year, and consider
able area of new orchards is being
planted, the crop OF 1891 reaching
nearly 100000 pounds. The fig is
found to be somewhat sensitive to cli-
matte conditions and often sheds its
fruit in a wholly unsatisfactory way.
One prime cause of the dropping OF figs
in the southern counties has doubtless
been an over supply OF irrigating water.
In the Fresno Gg districts, the present
seasons crop OF figs has been greatly
damaged by souring from unusually
cool weather. The second crop, howev-
er, it is hoped, will make better show
ing.
The Smyrna fig crop runs from 10, 900
to 25 600 tons annually, showing consid-
erable fuctuation from year 10 year.
The consumption of foreign hgs in the
United States amounted to 1888, ,759
pounds for the year ending June 30th
last, and 8 4S1, III pounds for the fiscal
year. The value of fig imports for the
two years named was 81 .208, ,704 - -[Cali-

General Notes.

Tomorrow evening Mrs. Annie Besant
will discourse at the Los Angeles thea
ter on subject of more than passing in
terest to every one. Death and After
cannot fail to be of prime Importance,
irrespective of the attitude from which
the matter is viewed. The theosophists
claim much for the teachings of their
masters OF Mahatmas, the recluses OF
the Hymalayas, and it will be of interest
to learn what this gifted high priestess
of the cult has to say of these hitherto
unsolved problems. She has just COM
pleted series of lectures in San Fran
cisco that excited the most widespread
interest in that city. People of all
shades of belief or unbelief focked to
hear, and no matter what criticism one
might make of her, none may say that
she ia dull or not thoroughly versant
with her subjects. The San Francisco
papers found much to praise. bit OF
description of her personality may be OF
interest.
Mrs. Besant-the pronunciation OF
whose name rhymes with peasant-is a
middle-aged English woman with gray
hair combed carelessly back over high
forehead. Her face shows crooked lines
OF reflection while she talks, but now
and then it clears up with Hunshiny
look that mighu be the "astral body" of
a smile. So strong is the magnetism OF
the woman that her most surprising
theories are made to sound reasonable
to those who hear them for the frat
time while within the spell OF her un-
common personal influence.
Mrs. Besant's career has been remark
ably varied. Coming of family which
has given England notable public men
in civil office and in church orders, she
at first leaned toward quiet life OF So
cial position and good works. Her
father died while she was quite young,
and her training fell into the hands oi
Miss Marryatt, sister of the novelist
and an evangelical woman of the strict,
dissenting type. At time OF high
church revival in England she began to
interest herself in Episcopal forms ol
worship. and soon after married Rev.
Frank Besant, brother of Walter Besant.
During the sickness of her child she
came to doubt that an Almighty Father
would torture helpless innocent with
disease. and gradually gave up heI
religious faith and identified herself
with the atheistic work in London Of
Charles Bradlaugh. For time, be.
cause of the misery about her in the
crowded districts of the world g metropo-
lis, she adopted the creed of Nautilus
and taught its doctrine Of overpopula-
tion. From this she advanced, through
many new social and religious muta.
tions, to become student and teacher
OF theosophic dogmas. In the mean.
time her husband, the conventional
rector of country parish, gave her the
alternative of returning to his home

Litchi Nuts.

The Chinese nuts which are sold in
Chinese and Japanese stores in this
country are called by the people of
China the htchi. They grow on small
tree of the chestnut species, and, when
fresh, the hull is filed with sweet,
seeds. The Chinese like this fruit best
when fresh, but when dried and pre-
Jared for export it is still very palata-
ole, having the taste OF prunes. Enor-
nous quantities are consumed in China,
and equally large amounts are dried for
export, the nuts becoming favorite
dainty wherever they can be had.-[Ex-

of the west seem to realize the value
and importance OF planting this tree, aa
is indicated by the very small number
OF trees seen growing in the fields of
irrigation. The tree is rapid grower,
and when planted in groves will shoot
upwards, forming long trunks that each
year grow more valuable than any other
product OF the farm.
Every farm in the arid west should
have more or less of these trees grow
ing. They form a splendid shade and
wind break around the barn and corral
and at the same time produce nuts for
the children and for market. In many
sections where farmers are located in
the first bottom lands of creeks and
rivers the trees will grow without irri-
cation after they get fairly started.
There are many little river bends and
slopes of banks that can be most profit
ably planted in groves OF timber. The
black walnut ahould form a part OF
these groves. Let every farmer investi-
gate bis land and find where he can
best devote space to the growing of
trees, and in the space plant few at
least of the black walnut variety.-IIrri-
cation age.

Soil for Olives.

AS to the kind of soil in which the
olive succeeds, Elwood Cooper says that
he has trees growing without irrigation
in black adobe, on stony hillsides, on
tableland with clay subsoil, in sandy
lands made from the wash of the mount
aims, with no difference in the bearing
OF the trees or the oil made. They are
known to succeed where peach, apricot
and nectarine trees have been destroyed
by the black alkali, and also in land so
rocky and steep that it cannot be
plowed.
Our virgin soils Of California are rich in
lime and potash, two of the chief con-
stituents required by the olive tree.
Professor Hilgard has stated that the
substance of olive oil is taken entirely
from the air, and that if the crop is
made into oil and pomace and all other
offal returned to the land from the out
set, it needs no other manure if the soil
ia fairly good one; it does not wear
out the soil, but if the fruit is picked,
returns should be made to the
soil, and then potash and nitrogen
are especially called for. The olive
tree fourishes under varied climatic
conditions; it will withstand temper
ature of IA degrees above zero; it sue
ceeds in the dry interior valleys of the
state, where the mercury during sum-
mer often ranges from 100 to 120 degrees
in the shade; along the coast and on the
high foothills OF our mountain ranges.

WITHOUT A HEAD.
Manager Daniels, Of the Under
writer's Union. Resigns.

Manager Daniels, of the Under
writer's Union, Resigns.
Insurance men have for the past two
months been singing that old, old hymn,
TROUBLES Never Ceasing," and this
week another veXatiOus matter has
arisen to give them something to fret
over. 1t was only yesterday that it be-
came known that Roderick E. Daniels,
manager for the Underwriters union,
had resigned his position, and that
the union would soon be without an
official head to guide its operations.
The resignation has been verified by
the Tribune, which last evening inter
viewed several Insurance men, all of
whom stated that the resignation has
been placed in the hands OF the COM
mission.
There are several reasons which have
been assigned for the step taken by
Manager Daniels, but the reason given
by that gentleman himself is that he
was forced to resign Oh account of ill
health and the accumulation of new
duties which are exceedingly arduouS.
MIR. Daniels health has been in a deli
cate condition for some time, and the
death of his son has been great blow
to him.
The resignation was handed in to
Commission No. 3 week ago, but that
body came to the conclusion that Mr..
Daniels services were indispensable. at
least for the present, and the date Of
the resignation was fixed at Aug. l, in
stead OF at once.
An insurance man who was inter-
viewed last night said that the i'll health
OF Manager Daniels was not the only
reason for his resignation. 1t was as
serted that there was some i'll feeling
among some of the insurance firms,
which had eliminated in a breach
with the manager, and that
this, added to his i'll health,
sickened him of the business and led to
the step. 1t is claimed that there are
two firms who have tried to use the
decisions of the manager in certain
cases to their own advantage, when the
decisions were intended to benefit the
entire underwriters union. These
efforts to turn the managers de-
cisions into wrong channels proved such
rank failures that the disappointed
firms esSayed to sow seeds of discomfort
against the manager, and the Tesigna-
ton folio we'd because Mr.. Daniels was
weary of the whole matter. The above
is the story of one of the insurance men.
and another limited that the same rea-
sons as outlined above had a great deal
to do, with the resignation.
Every one who is connected in the
slightest manner with the retiring man
ager speaks in the highest terms of his
integrity and fairness. The position is
a trying one, and who suits one man
must necessarily meet with disapproval
from others, yet withal many kind
words were spoken for Manager Dan
iels.
