that will hull and separate the d. monds from the mass of hnlls. which
 will greatly cheapen the preparing Of
 the crop for market. This necessity
 will soon arrive. for California can
 grow almonds 10 greater profit than
 anything else.
 After the almonds are separated
 from the hulls, the nuts are bleached by sulphur fumes. The bleaching house of Webster Treat is about 2
 feet by s feet, and 1000 pounds are generally put in at one time and ex- posed to the fumes of sulphur from
 fonr to ten hours, though the longer
 the nuts are bleached the whter they
 become. Usually in bleaching soft
 shells little water is sprinkled over hem before being put in the sulphur house, for the purpose of making them bleach whiter Care should be taken not to put more sulphur in ono pan of coa.s than will completly burn: for if too much sulphur is put in at one time there will not be a complete combustion. and the soft shells on
 being taken ont will smell of the sul-
 phur and the paper-shell kernels will
 taste of it. Mir Webster Treats bleaching house is boarded with tongue and groove inside and out, and and roofed with well-laid shingles. "A flue about two feet high is on the apex 10 help draft the sulphur fumes up and out. The floor k of lx3 set up edgeways three-eighths Of an inch apart, or just wide enough to admit the sulphur fumes and yet near enough to prevent the nuts from fall ing through. The floor is about two and half feet above the ground, the lower space boardcd up with tongue and groove and fitted with small doors every five feet to admit of placing the pans of burning sulphur underneath the floor
 After being hleached the almonds are pit into burlap sacks, which can be bought for about cents and hold about J5 pounds of almonds. It costs about 24 cents q pound to gather. hull, bleach. sack and haul q couple of miles and load on the cars. This is allowing q very liberal estimate of the cost, fora gentleman offered to gath er.hull, and bleach almonds for If cents per pound and put them in sacks q 10 furnish tho sacks. X carload of. almonds. as given by Southern Pacific Company in 1891, is 15,00O pounds. at s225 per carload and E cents for over weight; this is the rate to Chicago. To New York the rate is about s260 per carload, with n cents for oger- weight With a good machine to do the huiling and separating, the cost would be reduced to of a cent per pound, which is q very liberal esti- mate.
 Inc reason that almonds have not been grown successfully heretofore in California is because that old. old va riety, the Langucdoc has been the only one planted; and 1t is terrible poor bearer giving good crop about once in four years.

Roach is that OF embezzlement from q

1t is said that the facts in this case are

Seeing tho World,s Fair.

The Chicago Tribune answers some OF
the criticisms and complaints about the
Worlds Fair. 1t says tho show will
be in presentable condition on the lat
Of May. The grounds will be cleaned
up and the buildings will be ready for
occupancy" l! may be that some OF
the EXHIBITS will not DO in place, but
there will be enough TO keep sight
seers busy, Boarding rates will not be
exorbitant, because SO many persons
have gone into the business that COM
petition will keep rates down.
1t is reasonable to infer from the
Tri5unSs cautious explanation that the
fair will not be complete by The OPEN

weeks thereafter. OF course those who
visit it at the opening will find spread
out before them enough to engage their
attention. probably more than they can

flying. Perhaps the exhibits they wish
to see will not be ready. Moreover,
those who cannot afford to make two
visits will prefer to wait until they may
see all that is to be shown when the
fair is at ito best. This is why it is due
to the world to say frankly when the
show will be ready, so that persons who
intend to go may govern their arrange
ments accordingly.
The matter OF rates and accommoda-
tons will probably adjust itself, as the
Tribune suggests. Tho normal supply
OF accommodations has been immensely
increased by the erection of new hotels,
the opening of boarding houses to the
lismay of those already in that bust
ness and the eagerness Of private house
holers to turn an honest penny by let
ting lodging rooms.

The determination of tho Republican
numbers OF the United States senate to
insist upon thorough investigation OF
the charges made against Mr., Roach,
the new senator from North Dakota, is
a recognition OF the duty they owe to
the branch OF Congress 10 which they
belong. There is nothing narrow or
partisan in this action. The politics OF
Mr.. Roach are not in the question, The
point for the senate to consider is
whether he is an embezzler, indebted
for his liberty to tho leniency OF the
Washington bank he is said to have
plundered. The dignity and reputation
Of the American senate is ut stake in
the issue.
