FRUIT INSTEAD OF WHEAT.
The Worlds Demand for Good Fruit
Far Exceeds the supply.

The Worlds Demand for Good Fruit
Far Exceeds the supply.
The California newspapers have a
great deal to say abou the substitution
OF fruit for wheat as the great crop of
that State. This change has been
going on steadily for a number of
years, until now the State, although
splendidly adapted to the production
of wheat, both in soil and climate, the
wheat crop has greatly diminished and
California is no longer one of the
great wheat States. The change has
been attended with many good results.
The production of wheat, while it was
Improbable to the farmers, gave en-
ployment to but little labor. Machin-
chinery does all the work. The great
wheat fields therefore excluded rural
population, and while the cities were
growing there was no increase in the
population of the country.
Fruit-growing has worked a revolu-
ton. 1t gives profitable employment
to great numbers of people. The lands
have grown more fertile and more
valuable anda new and most profitable
industry has been started. The beau
tiful fruit of the Pacific Coast has
scarcely a rival and needs no tariff
wall to protect it from foreign COM
petition. 1t not only finds market
in all the great cities of the United
States, but profita BILE trade has been
opened in London. The canning in
dustry also is growing, and fruitwhich
can not be marketed in its natural
state is canned or dried.
The mistake that is usually made in
fruit raising, as in farming, is too lit
tie diversity. If various kinds of fruit
are raised, when one kindfa another
kind will produce. Fruit which can be
sold in winter or spring nearly always
fetches good prices. This fact has
suggested the establishment of cold
storage warehouses in rural districts,
in which all kinds of fruit can be kept
for winter. Grapes, which are very
cheap in the market in summer, would
command fancy prices at Christmas,
and apples kept until March can
nearly always be sold to advantage.
These considerations will doubtless
before many years make the cold
storage warehouse an adjunct to farm

Wilson in England.

The chairman of theways and means
committee is having glorious vaca-
ton in England. He is being feasted
and wined by the people whom he
worked so hard for during the sitting
of Congress. England feasted Bene-
dict Arnold when he visited that coun-
try after betraying the best interests of
his native land. A man that will vote
in Congress for England's interests
against that of his own people is n
traitor to America and ought to be
treated as such.

Value of Different Fingers.

One of the miners accident insur-
ance companies of Germany has been
making an interesting estimate of the
money value OF hands and fingers.
According to the figures the loss of
both hands represents loss of 100 per
cent efficiency, or, in other words, the
whole ability to earna living. Losing
the right hand depreciates the value of
an individual as q worker 20 to 80 per
cent, while the loss of the left hand
represents from 60 TOTO per cent of the
earnings of both hands. The thumb
is reckoned to be worth from 20 to 30
per cent of theearnings: the first finger
of the right hand is valued at from II
to Is per cent; that of the left hand, at
from 8 to 1875 per cent. The middle
finger is worth from 10 to 16 per cent
The third finger is valued at no more
than from to 8 per cent, while the
little finger is worth from to II per
cent. The differencein the percentages,
it is explained, is occasioned by the
differences in the trades followed by
the injured ones.

Pay God What You owe Him.

Preachers like all othe people must
have their pay. If you agree with "a
man of God to discourse to you from
sabbath to sabbath then you are NOR
ally bound to payh and intact more
so because it is indirectly trading with
your God. If the good people of our
town would come up punctually with
their subscriptions to the different
churches they would prosperand above
all the Lord would bless you. Try it

that two years ago this country was

crop BULLETIN.

The weather conditions throughout
the state have been very favorable for
all growing crops. The temperature
and rainfall were both in excess. Not.
understanding the heavy rains, which
have fallen in the southern section
during the latter part Of the week, the
warm weather and occasional brisk
winds have assisted in drying and
rapidly putting the ground in good
shape for blowing,
= Seeding is practically finished in
the central and southern sections and
about half finished in the northern
section. Corn and potato planting is
general in the central and southern
sections and the ground is being
rapidly prepared for these crops in
ahe northern section. Gardening is
general, and vegetation is doing well.
Pasturage is excellent and cattle are
living on grass. Bees are gathering
pollen from willow and box elder.
Some wheat sown in March had to be
resown, on account of damage by
frost and wet weather. All small
grain early sown is well up and the
fields are looking excellent. All in
dications so far are favorable.

The term "seigniorage'" which plays
SO prominent a part in the current
financial discussions, is defined by an
authority as "the profit, exclusive of
cost to manufacturer, between tie
cost of,bullion used and the price at
which the coin is issued, ALTERED d,ict-
ing the loss of bullion in the! process
of COINAGE This he illustrates. as
follows: The cost of 1000 ounces of
silver at the market rate, say; of
seventy-fve cents per ounce IN gold,
would be- $3.50. This would coin
1892 pieces, upon. which the seig-
niorage would be S542,. less the loss
of bullion in manufacture, say about
$6, making S536. The cost of manu-
facture of 1892 pieces would be- 500,
thus showing net seignorage of
1897 upon an expenditure of $3.50 in
gold for 1892 silver dollars.

talk of striking. We wonder if the

how things in the monopoly line
work nowadays. On the one hand
the people are grooming under the ex-
cessive burden of combine grabs,

to highway robbery, and on the other
