A Future Fig Land.

California has u wonderful future
before it in the cultivation of fruits,
and the greatest source of it's wealth
in this connection will be, believe,
in the growing of figs" said X. II.
Martin who resides in Los Angeles,
and has a promising plantation Of
young fig trees in Sonora, at Will
ard's 1t is only recently that the
Californians have learned the proper
variety OF figs to plant. Like most
Of our early fruits, the blue fig was
found growing by the early settlers at
tn various missions, and for many
years it was the only variety culti-
waited While excellent for home use,
the blue fig was almost worthless az
dryer, and for some time the lack
of any substitute led to the neglect
of fig culture. OF late years, however,
many varieties of the white fig have
been introduced into California, no.
tably the white Adriatic and the
brown Smyrna, and these are fully
equal to the imported article when
dried or crystallized. There are ten
million pounds Of dried figs consumed
in the United States every year, and
there is no reason in the world why
California shouldn't supply the en-
tire demand. 1t is easy to realize
what immense profits can be made in
the cultivation of figs, when one we'll
developed tree will produce one thou
sand pounds of the fruit, after it is
dried, which will command price Of
six cents per pound, at least, in the
market. Almost all soils and loca-
tions in Southern California, both in
the valleys and on the foothills, are
suitable to it's cultivation, and | an
ticipate that within the next twenty
years California will produce almost
as large a crop of figs as Smyrna it
self, which exports something like
thirty million pounds OF dried figs
every year.-[Washington Star.

Farm AND GARDEN NOTES.

One rooster to every ten hens is
about right.
A horse that is a small eater does
not generally amount to much.
Duck eggs, when Matching, require
less moisture than do the eggs of
hens.
The value Of a breed is based upon
the earning power of its representa-
tives.
One great advantage OF artificial
Matching is the freedom OF vermin on
chicks.
Hard-shelled eggs produce the most
vigorous chicks. Those from soft
shells are apt TO be weakly.
IL strong chicks are desired, see to
il that the eggs are from healthy stock
that has not been overfed.
Who can name a farm crop that has
been less affected by the constant
downward tendency In prices than the
potato?
Resolve now, il you have not before,
to spray your fruit trees next season.
Spraying is the salyation Of the fruit
grower.
Calls are quickly healed by apply
ing tsnnin,. keeping saddle on collar

PREVENTION OF Potato DISEASE.

Experiments in the prevention OF
potato disease were made at the Albert
Farm, Glasnevin, and at Garryhill,
County Carlow, Ireland, in 1892.
According to the recently published
report of the Agricultural Depart
ment, the Founder, a variety eI-
tremely liable to disease, was select
ed, and tho experiments were made
with view TO ascertain whether the
mycelirm of the fungus reached the
tubers through the tissues OF the
plant or by means of the spores falling
upo4i he earth and then washed down
to the surface OF the tubers in the
soil. The ground was covered early
in June beneath the plants with cot
ton wool, carefully placed around the
stems, with the object of fltering out
the spores that might fall upon the
ground. The disease appeared in July
and the leaves OF the plants were bad
ly affected. When the potatoes were
lifted in October il was found that
there were no diseased tubers beneath
the cotton wool, but q considerable

ground. Hence, it is Professionally in
ferred by those in charge Of the ex-
periments that disease spores reach
the tubers by passing through the
soil, but further experiments are nee
essary before stating definite conclu-
sions. II this point be established,
the advantage of high moulding, IS
advocated by Mr.. Jensen, in provid-
ing layer Of earth of sufficient thick
ness to filter the rain water as IL
descends through the earth, and there
by arrest the spores before they could
reach the tubers, will receive further
proof. The potato crops in County
Dublin are generally more free from
disesse than those grown in other
parts OF Ireland This comparative

and abroad, and French designs COM
bine soft gray with mauve, rose-color,
and yellow, with charming results.
A novelty in lace is made with q
ground of three different materials
-guipure, net and gauze. Another
variety is in two shades OF color,
cream and butter or cream and coffee.
Fancy side combs of tortoise shell
or gold, set with diamonds, are worn
10 keep the hair in place. A pretty
fancy gray hair is an outstanding
comb of Jet, which extends down at
the side of the head, graduating into
the hair.
Cherry pink chiffon, with silver or
gold threads woven in it, and all
other materials which have gleam
Of metal in their weave, are used for
evening dresses. Crocodile gauze is
another novelty for young ladies.
Accordion-plaited white china silk,
striped with cream lace insertion,
makes the dantiest tea gown inn
aginable. 1t should be tied in at
the waist with cream white ribbon,
and hang open over handsomely
trimmed lawn skirt.
A peculiar idea for hair decoration
is the plumage of the white peacock,
dyed in any required color and
fastened at the base with jeweled
ornament. The eye OF the feather is
sometimes outlined with tiny emer-
aids.
Merchants are selling leagues of
fancy taffetas that have either shot
or chined backgrounds, also fancy
surahs, shepherd s-check silks, and
China, India, Persian, or by what
ever other name these delicate semi
transparent silks are known.
Soft-textured satins are to be used
for evening and afternoon costumes,
and they come in beautiful shades,
which are produced by the mysteri-
Gus blending of two contrasting
colors, such as red and yellow, opal
and turquoise, sea blue and primrose.
The effect is not so charming when
darker colors are used.
The short and much-trimmed
pelerine is the most coquettish style
Of mantle going. 1t is very full at
the edge mounted in n square yoke,
heavily embroidered in jet and
finished off with deep collar Of
beaded net. An effective lining is
great addition to short capes, and
white satin is a safe investment.
Most of the new Leghorn hats are
short at the back of the brim, or are
shaped to have that effect by the
milliner. One Of the most stylish
and effective models is trimmed with
soft pink ostrich tips, and beautiful
Venetian point lace run through with
long gold pin tipped with Irish
hrilliants. A similar model is
trimmed with mauve feather-tips
and cream-colored silk guipure lace.

FASHION NOTES.

Some of the new French wells are
kilt plated.
Moire is likely to remain in favor
for months to come.
Checked silk makes the blouse OF
the moment very frequently.
Some of the satin-fnished corded
silks are like Eelvet to the touch.
So severely plain are some Of the
cottons shown that their adoption
by the tailor-made girl is certain.
A few Of society's bellies affect
black undressed gloves for evening
wear; they are usually stitched with
white.
Something useful in belts consists
of a nickel silver frame, into which
a ribbon of any color may be in
serted.
White trimmings are universally
worn, and white kid is introduced
with guipure in many of the en-
broideries.
Chatelains hung with all sorts Of
jingling trinkets, such as miniature
TASKS, salt bottles. seals and pencils
are to be worn again.
Among gown frivols the lace fiounce
attached to belt and the bertha Of
lace hold an important place in the
feminine wardrobe.
Serge, which has been popular so
many years. has had it's day, and
glossy satin-finished cloth and tweeds
are i'm great demand.
Ribbons vie with laces for the
favorite place among dress trimmings,
and all kinds of plain and fancy
ribbons are used on dresses.
There is a return IL desired, to
white stockings with white slippers,
for white gowns, though black hosiery
and footgear is still worn under the
same conditions.
Graceful sashes are made by a
double band OF ribbon passed around
the waist and fastened at the back
beneath two rosettes, with long ends
reaching TO the hem.

FOOD THAT DRIES THE MILK.

A good COW will not be hurt in her
milking by any Of the ordinary foods
in use. il given in moderation. But
there are cows that will rather turn
their food into fat than into milk, and
such cows may be dried by overfeed-
ing such strong food rs cornmeal or
other grain. Bran will not be apt TO
dry q COW under any circumstances,
and thus it is safer food than meal
for such COWS as are too apt to fatten
when we'll fed. Every owner of COWS
should carefully test each one to dis
cover her character in this direction.
for it is very true that . large proper
tion OF cows do not pay for their feed
ing, ana OF course such COWS are not
profitable. More COWS of this inferior
kind for milk and butter will be found
among the shorthorns and other breeds
commonly fed for beef, than among
the special dairy breeds, rs the Ayr
shire. the Jersey and the Holstein. -

MAKING AN ASPARAGUS BED.

OF all the crops for the market gar
den, especially il conveniently situat-
ed to large city, asparagus Is one Of
the most satisfactory, because it is
easy to cultivate, easy TO gather and
easy to sell. The land should be heav-
lily msnured and worked up TO a
depth of at least ten inches. Trenches
are then opened up to depth Of nine
inches with plow. The plants should
be set about three feet apart in these
trenches, and enough earth packed
about the roots TO cover them we'll,
and the harrow will complete the job,
throwing in little additional earth
upon them as it is drawn lengthwise
over the rows. This work may be done
in the fall or spring. At the end of
the season the trenches will be
partially covered in and during the
next year may be cultivated level,
leaving the roots eight or nine inches
below the surface OF the ground
Every spring the whole surface should
receive thorough cultivation with the
plow and harrow, and be well ma
nured. Mr.. Garfield, OF Michigan,
who has had eminent success in grow
ing asparagus, states that he applies
stable manure and refuse salt al
ternste years, the former at the rate
of thirty-two tons per acre.-Canadi-

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

The artificial flowers that are made
at present are so perfect that a
miscroscope is needed to detect the
difference between them and the real
blossoms. Nothing is lacking, the
makers managing, by various pro-
cesses, to initiate not only every
striking popularity, but many that
escape the casual eye. The mark
ings of the leaves, the folds, the odd
little curls Of the petals, are all ex-
actly reproduced, and if the perfume
natural TO the flower is added by art
anybody would be deceived.-lNew

CUTTING OATS.

Oats should be cut for fodder at
about the same stage Of growth that
other grasses are cut, which is when
in bloom or very soon after, writes a
correspondent. If cut too early the
fodder will be hard to cure, and il cut
after the kernels have attained much
size the fodder will be poorer, beside
being liable to much injury from rats
and mice in the NOW in winter. This
rule holds good for time of cutting
oats, barley, millet aud wheat for fod-
der. Rye should be cut before it
blooms, as it becomes tough and un-
palatable very rapidly after it reaches
the blooming stage. When tho weather
is favorable 1 have found il well TO
let these coarse. heavy folders lie .
day or 30 to wilt after cutting before
putting in the tedder. It hardly pays
to handle green stun of this kind till

out. Never cut when the dew 10 on.

CATCHING COLD.
Various Ways In Which Il May Be
Done.

Cold, says medical writer in the
Girls Own Paper, may take place
from damp or cold feet, or from ex-
posure of the head to cold. Cold may
also be caused by breathing dust,
and n cold Is also freely caught from
temporary congestion Of the lungs,
during hard exercise, rs in riding
tricycle.. We all know the symptoms
OF IA nasty cold, as we call 1t. These,
however vary even in cold In the
head. Briefly speaking, whatever
lessons the animal heat OF the body,
or drives the blood interiorly, may
produce cold independent of direct
irritation to the lining membrane Of
the lungs, as from breathing dust or
irritant causes. Ii we know the va
rious causes OF catarrh, or COM
mon cold, We may better avoid
the complaint. Ii cannot be wrong,
therefore, in mentioning few in ad-
dition TO those named above.
First-Slecping in damp room.
Second-Exposing that portion OF
the back that lies between the shoul-
ders TO cold in bed. Delicate young
ladies ought to wear Shetland shawl
in bed as special protection to this
vulnerable region.
Misunderstanding about in evening
dress.
Fourth-Omitting to wrap up well
before coming out from heated room
or assembly mt which you have worn
evening dress. IL you have been
warm Mt all, the pores are all open,
and chill is 40 easily caught.
Fifth-Riding In an open carriage
against the wind, n prolific source OF
cold.
Sixth-Getting wet through and
not keeping moving until there is a
chance OF changing.
Seventh--Omitting TO wear woollen
underclothing in winter and spring.
Eighth-Remaining too long In the
bath, whether cold or tepid. The
cold bath IL n tonic, but do not for
get that plunge or two Is enough.
Ninth-Sitting on damp seat or
on wet grass.
Tenth-Sitting in the draught.
Eleventh-Sitting In n room with
out n fire.
Twelfth-Going to bed in too cold

SILK WORK CULTURE.

Silkworm raising is engaged in to
a limited extent by some California
women. The climate of southern
California Is perfectly adapted to
sericulture, the only drawback to
the industry being the price Of labor
in competition with foreign silk
producing countries. A few women
are engaged in olive-oil making and
olive picking, work especially
adapted to their fine taste and deli
cate handling. For the same reason
poultry raising is specially woman S
work. The importation of eggs into
California is still very large. Women
and girls assist in raisin packing and
lemon curing. Cleveland Leader.
