MIDWINTER FAIR.

The Importance OF the Excursion Prop
osition-Mrs. Bradbury's Subscription.
Among the most important results OF
the meeting of the executive midwinter
fair committee held on Friday was the
appointment of a subcommittee author
lied to organize and provide for excur-
sions from San Francisco to Southern
California during the midwinter fair
season. This committee will attempt to
procure special and cheap rates from San
Francisco to Southern California and re-
turn, giving long stay in Southern Cal
ifornia. The excursions Will be by
steamer as we'll as by rail, and if reason
able rates cannot be obtained an attempt
will be made to charter q couple of
steamers to ply between San Francisco
and the seaports of the counties in the
association. The excursions will include
all the counties Of Southern California
which have joined in the Southern Cali
fornia midwinter fair building, and
cheap ratessare already promised from
Los Angeles to all these counties. Los
Angeles will probably be made the dis
tributing point, and from two to three
excursions per week will likely be had.
1t is impossible to calculate the benefits
which will be derived by Southern Cali
tornia from these excursions.
The executive committee called yes
terday upon Mrs. L. l.. Bradbury and
asked her aid. Without hesitation she
Immediately subscribed $500 and offered
$1,000 if necessary, but the committee
declined more than $500 from any one
person.

ments OF music, and that is all that
should be required OF them. believe
the same law is in force today, relating
to the tesching of music in public
schools, as prevailed before a special
teacher OF music was engaged by our
school board.
The singing in our schools was as good
then as now, and we then had no costly
mdsic books to buy. Professional music
teachers become much in love with their
art. and they are apt to harp good deal
on one string. They become to certain
extent men and women of one idea.

gard 1t as paramount to all other studies.
IL is great mistake to give 1t a promin-
ent place in our public school studies
because 1t takes up the time needed for
the study of infinitely more important
subjects, especially to those boys and
girls who have got to battle with the
serious problem OF bread and butter.

T.xpaver Repljes to Musician.

EDITORS HERALD: In looking over
your Letter Bag" in Sundays issue
noticed the castigation which Mr..
Hutchison attempted to give to Musi-
clan, who had footed his horn in the
Evening Express, and advocated the
abandonment in public schools of the
study of music, zoology, botany and
physiology, except in the high school.
Mr.. Hutchison charges Musician with
making a false statement of the list of
studies in the third school year.

have made little investigation and
find the course of studies named by
Musician is actually required to be
taught in the third year. These studies
are set forth in pamphlet furniehed to
teachers (and any citizen can obtain one
from the superintendent of our schools
| preeume) on pages 26 TO 2S. Mr.. II.
will claim, l suppose. that the study Of
"language" is not grammar" There
is simply distinction without a differ
ence. The ignorance and ialsifying
seem to rest upon Mr.. H.
Your pedagogic correspondent has
such an unobservant mind that he as-
sumes that Musician" was opposed to
the teaching of drawing in our schools,
and strikes him with his mighty pen,
whereas, in his letter, Musician"
claimed that moro time should be given
to that important study. In the same
illogical manner Mr.. II. goes on to say
that "the state law compels teachers to
give instruction in morals and man
ners." Musician" did not oppose such
instruction.
Then Mr.. H. becomes a good witness
for Musician" and says that "simpie
rote songs constitute the greater part of
the musical education" This is one of
the truths that accidentally crept into
the pedsgogue's screed. He also says" the
special music toacher is employed to
direct the music teaching, and not to
teach $4,000 children" In othar words,
our school board hires special teacher
to instruct our teachers how to impart
musical instruction to their schools.
This is where the objection of the tax
payer comes in, as it is altogether un-
necessary. Most OF our teachers have
taken a thorough training in the nor
NAL school to fit themselves as teachers.
Such as have not taken that course are
subjected to rigid examination (musi.
cal knowledge and ability tested) before
certificates to teach are issued. They
are all capable of teaching the children

A Forty-Acre Farm .

H. w. Andrew in the Bakersfield
Californian gives the following plan for
utilizing 40-acre farm to the best ad.
vantage:
The question is often asked: Can a
living be made from the start on q 40
acre colony lot? and it is very import
ant one, for although there are these
that can put out 40 acres to fruit and
wait until it comes into bearing, still
they are few. while those that need an
income from the first are many, and it
is for them we would give our ideas on
starting.
think mistakes have been made by
planting too much of the land with
trees and vines. In my opinion not
more than 20 acres should be fruit out
of the 40. OF the other 20 should put
say 10 acres in alfalfa. On this would
keep my horses and say six good cows.
turkeys. chickens, etc. l would have
seven or eight acres for grain, such as
barley, Egyptian corn, etc. This would
be ample for horses, hogs and poultry.
From the cows l would make butter
when the weather was not too hot, and
when that was the case / would make
cheese. From the sows 40 pigs could
be raised per annum.
With the skim milk and some Egypt
ian corn they could soon be made pork
ers and sold to the butcher. would
also have some small fruits, say a quarter
of an acre of straw berries, quarter Of
an acre of raspberries and a quarter OF
an acre of black berries. These, if well
cared for. would give a return OF not less
than 5000 per annum.
On the other 20 acres l would plant
fruit trees. No doubt some would plant
trees and vines. Between the trees
pumpkins could be grown for two or
three years without doing any damage,
and would be 80 much extra feed for
horses, cows and hogs. 1 think with
butter, cheese, pork, turkeys, chickens,
eggs, Strawberries, raspberries and
blackberries that very fair income
could be made from the start, and that
the one 20 acres would run the other
until it came into bearing. There would
then be no difficulty in paying for the
land from the 20 acres of fruit.

Insects in stored Grain.

California Cultivator: Bulletin No.
issued by the Delaware station,
eats on Insects Injurious to Stored
rain, from which we take the following
mmarv:
|. Stored grain and seeds of all kinds
ould be frequently examined for in
ct attacks, in order that their depreda-
,ns may be stopped before serious loss
ours.
2. Very often the first indication OF
X sect attack is a marked decrease OF
mperature in the mass of grain, as
ough it had become damp from some
use and fermentation had commenced.
3. These insects breed and are most
tive during warm weather, and there
little danger of their injuring grain or
eds during the winter, except those
ored in heated rooms.
4. Bisulphide of carbon will destroy
| four forms of insect life-egg, Larvae,
ipa and adult insect when subjected TO
fumes Of this liquid.
S. The bi-sulphide of carbon is high
infiammable and no lights or fire OF
ly kind must be allowed around the
lilding in which it is used for at least
hours after its use, or until all emeil
the substance has disappeared.
6. 1t is not necessary to place the
nquid in the center of the mass OF grain
distributing it upon the surface answers
every practical purpose.
7. The treatment with bi sulphide OF
carbon doeB not iniure either the vital.
ity or edible qualities of the grain.
8. The expenre OF treating the grain
will oe about one.half cent per bushel
for the material.
9. Bi-suphide Of carbon can be pro-
cured in quantity from sny Wholesale
druggist for about 81 per 80 pounds.
Mr.. James Hosainger had about 800
bushels OF wheat in the granery ct his
farm near Newark, Del, that was in
tested with the grain beetles. This
grain was from three ana one-half to
four feet in depth in two bins in gran
ary which shut out all light when the
door was closed, but was not air-tight by
any means.
Ten pounds OF bi-sulphate of carbon,
at the rate of | ounce to 100 pounds OF
the grain, were distributed as evenly as
possible over the surface of the grain in
the bins. 1t WAS Immediately covered
with empty fertilizer sGcks. On the
third day after the treatment, the wheat
was run through the tanning mill for
the purpose of removing the dead beet

The Orphans, Home.


EDITORS HERALD-In referring to the
orphans fair that has just been in prog
ress, the reporter made an error by
calling it the fair for the Orphans
home. The home on the corner of Yale
and Alpine streets is the only incorpor-
ated orphans home and the other is
known as the orphans asylum.
The orphans home is also non-sects-
rian, and is the only home in which
boys over elk years are admitted, thus
accounting for our large percentage OF
boys now in the home. We make this
correction as the orphans home is
about to give concert.
The programme is in the hands of
Modini-Wood and wife. OF its merit we
need not speak.

IrrIgating olive Trees.

Secretary Lelong of the state board of
horticulture, informs the Fruit Grower
that the best results he ever obtained in
growing olives were mainly due to seven
irrigations of the trees in one season
commencing in July, giving another in
August, another in September, two in
October and two in November. The
Fruit Grower thereupon cautions grow
ers, and incidentally comme1ds to their
notice Lelong's experience, and holds
him up as an experienced and successful
grower and maker OF olive pickles.
Both may be honest and give advice
from actual experience; but experience
in one soil and climate ia not worth
much in many other soils and climates.
Alfred Wright can show as good results
near Pomona as Lelong or anybody else
ceved one inPfAgastohtr nst htrsss sss 81 any 9t pFss
yjous year since taken from the nur-
sery. Other instances may be cited.
Mr.. Wright has a method of cultivation
that retains ample moisture in the
ground, and he is on dry land-the
water in his well being 20 feet below the
surface. No man of sense will claim
that poor land, poor cultivation and no
irrigation will produce good crops Of
olives or of anything else. In this state
there is every conceivable soil, climate,
elevation and depression. Experience
that brings success in one locality may
result in failure in another. Both the
Fruit Grower and Mr.. Lelong would dis
play better judgment by recognizing
these facts and therefore be less dog
matte.

An Aphis Proof Apple.

Rural Northwest: 1t is strange how
slow people some times are to avail
themselves of useful knowledge. 1t
was we'll sscertained fact 60 years ago
that the Winter Majetin variety of
apple is resistant" to the woody
aphis. That is, the wocly aphis do not
live on the Winter Msjetin apple. In
the later years it has been found that
the Northern Spy also possesses this
characteristic. And yet it is only within
the last few years that advantage has
been taken of this knowledge. The
Australian fruit growers are the ones
who deserve credit for applying knowl-
edge of this fact in practical way. 1t
has now become the rule in that country
to develop roots of the Winter Majetin
or Northern Spy upon which to graft
apples of all varieties. The ravages of
the woody sphis upon the roots of the
apple trees are thus almost wholly
avoided and this most dreaded pest,
when confined to the tops of the trees,
ia comparatively easy to cope with.
