In q letter to the South California
Farmer, Mrs. Flora M. Kimball writes
as follows on the successful methods
pursued in National City:
1.-THE following information is cheer
fully given with the hope that every
unattractive town in this part of the
state might be as successful as we have
been in transforming a barren waste in
to what promises to be garden of YER
dure. The chief guarantee OF success
is the sympathy and cooperation of the
people and the assistance of the city
| trustees. both of which we have. Every
body wanted the streets improved, and
the trustees aware aware of the popular
sentiment. voted liberal aid. The work
was placed in my hands, and was
given carte blanche in the selec'
ton, purchasing, planting and hr-
ing help. This years planting
completes three seasons and We have
planted in all nearly 5000 trees. Streets
that have served the purpose and had
the appearance OF an uncultivated pas.
ture have been opened and planted.
The trees were selected for their adapt.
ability to the climate and proximity to
the ocean. The following list comprises
the varieties, one variety only being
placed ON q street. Sugar gum. blue
gum, pepper. palms, Grevlls robusta,
camphor. laurel, cypress and new and
choice eucalyptus. Several redwoods
were donated and contrary to my ex-
pectations are making good growth.
"A man who is not afraid of long hours
with a span of horses, water cart and
boy. performs all the labor of watering,
cultivstinR, stalking, tying up and look
ing after squirrels and gophers. The
work is all done under my supervision,
q portion OF my time each day being
given to street inspection. Planting
trees is q small part of street improve
ment When young they must be care
fully looked after and will repay such
care by rapid and healthful growth.
Our school teachers and school trustees
take especial pains to impress on the
minds OF the children the Importance of
having trees on the streets. and to the
credit of 200 little folks. not a tree has
been injured by them.

ticularly il last years fruit harvest
has been plentiful and drawing
heavy on the sap of life. In this case
plenty of fertilizer without any delay is
needed. The proper pruning must not
be neglected; without the same the
trees cannot produce good and healthy
fruit. Light and air are the principal
factors, besides the fertilizer. to assist in
the formation OF the fruit and growth Of
the tree. From q thicket of branches
no good fruit may be expected. In the
application of fertilizers for the above,
use such as are preferable, which retain
water and ammonia for the longest
period.

The agricultural department ct Wash

struction OF the San Jose scale. which is
considered the most serious parasite
with which California fruit growers have
to contend. A recent dispatch says
active measures will at once be taken by
the department to destroy the insects
in all localities where they may be
found. Great damage to the fruit-grow-
ing interests is anticipated by the de-

When Pans Syrinx changed her form
To reed by rivers brim,
Straight he cut that reed and blew
Sounds divinely sweet to him,
For he knew the music fine
Was the soul of her dear shade.
Hour by hour he wooed her well,
That she might not wholly fade,
Kept the reed against his lips,
And so held her spirit near,

Still he calls upon her name.

Never can be wholly lost.

WANTS TO REMAIN IN JAIL.
a Prisoner In the Idaho Penitentiary Raises
New Legal Question.


Few people prefer prison life to the
freedom enjoyed by persons who have
never been compelled to don the striped
garb, but such one is Narcisse Nero,
an Italian, who for the past II months
has been incarcerated in the penitentiary
for a burglary committed in Kootenai
county. Nero has been an exemplary
prisoner, and although his sentence was
for one year his good behavior, under
the rules of the institution, earned him
one months Communication. The II
months expired the other day, and w ard
en- Campbell informed him he was at
liberty to depart.
Nero said he did not want to go. Life
within the prison walls was for him pref
cradle to being turned adrift in cold
world.
The warden told Nero he was sorry for
him, but his time was up, and he would
be required to leave the home to which
he had become so attached in so short a
time.
Then Nero adopted new tactics. He
raised the point that he did not have to
accept the months rebate on his sentence
for good behavior unless he pleased to.
He did not desire to accept it, and there
fore could not be put out until the expira-
ton of the full IL months.
This raised an entirely new question,
and Deputy Warden Cuddy was dis
patched to lay the case before Governor
Mcconnell. The governor instructed
Wardep CaYnnhal1 tn allow Marc fO re.
main until the return of the attorney
general. The governor said if it should
be shown such action was wrong he
would pay for Nero's board out of his
own pocket.-Boise Statesman.

The Law and Gospel of Pruning

Mr.. j. H. Hornbeck writes the So
noma County Farmer as follows
The whole subject OF pruning may be
thus summed up:
Study tree growth. Get acquainted
with each individual tree. Take off
anything you don't want as soon
as you see it. Never allow a tree
to fork into two equal branches.
Keep a central stem on the model
of the cedar. Don't allow any
limbs to cross each other. Don't
cut off fruit spurs from young trees. Thin
out the fruiS spurs of the old trees. Coax
trees to grow symmetrical and well bal
anced. Keep the top we'll open. Keep
all tools sharp and clean. Pretty hard
to do, many will say, but come as near
as you can to this ideal and you will
have trees that will be both ornamental
and uaaful

u.a IN K,,, m Old Horss.

Yesterday morning the attention OF
President Wood. Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals. was
called to n deserted and dilapidated horse
at the corner of Fifteenth and Franklin
streets, and Agent Taylor was sent to
investigate the matter. He found the
animal. and a more pitiful looking object
could hardly be imagined. The horse
was poor beyond any description. the
bones almost protruding through the
skin. The poor brute was 30 weak from
starvation that 1t could hardly walk.
and Its back and shoulders were mass
OF sores. There were also q number Of
scars and sores on the animals legs.
Mr.. Taylor took the horse to the head
quarters OF the Society for the Proven
ton OF Cruelty to Animals. where he was
given food and water. but It was clearly
apparent that the animal was beyond
recovery, and was killed.
Every possible effort was made to as
certain the owner Of the horse. but with
out avail. The case Is regarded as one
of cruelty and carelessness, and the OFF,
GERS OF the society will make a thorough
investigation OF how the animal got here
and to whom 1t belonged. The animal was
about 30 years old.
