Making Olive Oil.

MAKING OllVe Ofls
Four years ago Harvey Hewitt began
xperimenting in making olive oil and
has made success of the venture. He
crushes the olives in an ordinary cider
mill, and has a common lever press TO
extract the liquid. The pulp is wrap
ped in cloth and kept under pressure
from two to three days. This gives the
best grade of oil. The pulpis then scald-
ed and again pressed, giving an inferior
grade OF oil. The liquid is run into
stone jars, where it is kept for two days,
the oil being skinned off. The oil is
then filtered, common collander with
false bottom, on which is placed layer
of cotton batting, being used for the
purpose. A second filtration gives the
pure oil. Mr.. Hewitt has had especially
good luck, and last year did not loose
any of the product. The oil made is
perfectly pure and will keep in good
condition for almost any length of time.
He will begin making oil in week or
SO and has added some improvements to
his plant. He began work as an expert
ment, but the success he has attained
shows that he is on the right basis. A
press and equipment for a small orchard
would not cost more than $75 or 500.
Olive trees should be planted at least
thirty feet apart, and they are said to
yield better when planted in single rows
than when in orchard form. The trees
do not require rich soil, but Mr.. Hew-
tits experience indicates that they need
care and water to secure satisfactory re-
suits. He has only half acre planted
on his ranch in Lugonia, but he buys
olives grown by Others.
1t is estimated that fair yield to the
acre would be three tons of fruit, which
would yield 40 gallons of oil. The bot
ties, six to the gallon, and the labels,
cost about $25. The average price for
the oil is $40 gallon, which would give
gross yield OF $400 per acre. The
entire cost of growing the fruit and
making and marketing the oil is less
than 30 per cent of the gross receipts,
and this can be greatly reduced where
the business is conducted on larger
scale. As good results are also secured by
picking the olives. 1t will be seen by
these facts that an olive orchard is a
good paying property. The trees re-
quire but little attention during the
growing season, but it is slow work to
pick the fruit. Ii we allow one-haIf of
the gross receipts for caring for the trees
and marketing the crop, placing the
price of the oil at $40 gallon, there
would still remain 20 per cent net
profit on an orchard worth $1,000 an
acre. This is certainly favorable re-
suit, and would be so at less price for
the oil.-[Citrograph.

OF INTEREST TO ORCHARDSTS,
Oranges Should Be Cured Be-
fore Being Packed.
A Redlands Mans Method of Making
Olive Oil.
Some of the Profits from Lemon Gull
ture-rhe Result of Planting Blue
Gum Trees - Big Returns
from Lemon Culture.

No one would think of marketing
lemons, says the Pomona Progress, until
they had been subjected to process OF
curing to get them into fit condition to
market, but heretofore little attention
has been given to the subject OF curing
oranges before shipping them; and
many fruit growers have not considered
it necessary to cure them at all, but
pack them directly from the trees. The
most experienced shippers, however, do
not do that any more, but subject the
oranges to a curing process for several
days before packing for shipping. Oranges
have been shipped to this country in
slow sailing vessels from distant points
in the tropics, which have arrived in
good conditions, only because they were
properly cured before packing. They
were gathered from the trees and taken
to a shady place, or to well ventilated
room, and spread in thin layers for two
or three days. By that time the skin
had become soft and tough, enabling
the fruit to endure long transit with
comparatively little risk.
An eXperltuceu loIlud OIaDgS sIVWcI
SAYS:
"The least possible handling of the
orange after it is cut, until it has been
shrunk, is the best. The word ''sweat-
ing'' is misleading and ought to be dis
carded. 1t is better every way to speak
of the process as a curing or shrinking
of the peel in order to render it tough
and pliable. The moment the stem is
severed from the bough the peel begins
to dry and shrink, and in very few
days, unless it has been bruised, it will
practically have the contents hermet-
ically sealed. During this process the
orange ought to be exposed to all
the air that can possibly be brought
to it without letting the sun shine on it.
But even the sunshine on it would be
better, if covered at night from the
dew, then to size and pack the fruit
when crammed almost to bursting with
Juice, and the peel brittle and unyield-
ing. This, then, is the object of the
4S hours delay after picking simply to
allow little of the superhuous moisture
to escape from the peel so that it may
toughen and submit to the necessary
squeezing in the box without rupture"

BULLET-PROOF CLOTH.

It has been rapidly growing more and
more dangerous to Ego to war;" and 1t is
about time for something to appear as an
Offset to the many new inventions which
have for their object the killing and
wounding of soldiers. 1t does appear ,snd
in the shape of bullet-proof cloth, invented
by German tailor. 1t Is wonderful in
vention. The bullets from the new small
calibre rifles will go through several human
bodies, or even through tree with a man
behind it, at ordinary range. But they
have to stop when they come in contact
with the new armor. The careful Germans
have experimental with 1t in various
ways. They made crowning test at two
hundred PAGES. At that distance the cloth
not only checked, but shattered the small
calibre bullet. The cloth itself weighs six
pounds extra per suit. The present uni
form of the ordinary soldier averages
about ten pounds in weight. The armor
of ancient knights is said to have weighed
about two hundred pounds. It is there
fore possible to look forward to a day
when every soldier will not only wear an
armor to keep off the smallest calibrs rifle
bullet, but will wear it with but little
more trouble than his ordinary clothes
give him. He can be almost entirely pro-
tected from injury by an armor whose
weight is 80 distributed over him as to be
scarcely realized.
A war in which soldiers shot at each
other with the certainty that they couldn't
hurt each other would be interesting.
Perhaps, by and by, instead of going to
war, nations will show each other their
improved weapons and their bullet proof
cloth, and then sit down and talk 1t over
until settlement is reached.

mAnUAL TRAINING SCHOOLS.

The advocates of manual training
schools can find q strong argument in the
report made to congress By the Hon. Car
roll D. Wright, United States commits
sioner of labor. The results reported by
him of manual training upon individual
workmen are derived from information
relative to S09 student workmen, repre-
senting SO different manual training
schools, who had received manual train
ing and who were employed in practical
undertakings. This information was &C.
cured from the employers of 80 such stu
dents in France, $40 in Germany, 10 in
Norway, 65 in Russia, 262 in Sweden and
1872 in tine United States. The facts gath
cred relate to the question as to whether
the student workman is superior to
the ordinary workman, and the tables
given show that in 67l cases out
of the S0S the student workman
is superior to the ordinary work
man in the use of tools at the beginning
of bis employment, that 460 had proved
superior in the economy of the use of
materials and 620 in the constantly in
cressing skill developed, and that $50
showed their superiority In plsnniDg and
arranging work. The tables also show
various other features of interest. The
| manual training schools for girls in France
have their representatives. in actual bust
ness, and out of so students for whom
information was secured 1t is learned that
| with but one exception the student work
woman was found superior to the ordinary
workwoman in every respect, whether in
the use of tools at the beginning of work,
the constantly increasing skill in the use
of such tools, economy in the use of ma
terials, in planning and arranging work
in moral qualities, or in the intsres
taken in the welfare of the establishment
and the promise of more intelligent work
Like inquiries were made by the de
partment concerning young men who hat
obtained their trade equipment in trad
schools, the experience of 5000 sucl
graduates being ascertained. This mum
ber was distributed as follows: In Aus
tria, 800; Belgium, S12; Denmark, 121
France, 33s; Germany, GA; Great Britain
1874; Norway, 103; Russia, 216; Sweden
1856; Switzerland, 81, and the Unite
States, 116; the total, 5000, representin
2O6 different trade schools. Of thi
whole number, acre were ready to begi
work at once, or leaving the schools, with
out serving any time as apprentices, an
in ACES cases the employers preferre
trade school graduates to those who ha
not had trade school training.
This is good showing. But when sha
we have a manual training school in Ne'

put all this into my head WAS a sweet
round creature who probably thought her
self plain. Her dress. "a my sketch shows,
was simplicity itself. The material was
sheer silk gauzs of a clear corn color. The
neck WAS cut out little, and the gauzs
made loose on the lining. The sleeves
were q pair of not too pronounced puffs.
A string of brown amber beads made her
neck seem all the whittier, aud caught some
of the glints in her hair. Her skin was
smooth and creamy, her eyes hazel. Upon
my word, do believe some one gave her
the dress; she was too Indifferent ever to
have selected colors so suited to her.

How to be Pretty Though Homely.
If girls would only realize how little
perfection of feature has to do with beau
tyi If you have a smooth ekin, If your
hair is soft and of good color, If your
throat rounds according to the grace of
youth and health, you are beautiful. All
that is needed to give everyone a chance to
realize sweet face and to have a share in
the blessing it is, is to keep the smooth
skin free from ooneoctions and washes.
Then gather the soft hair in simple knot
