PRIME GROWING.

The word prune is derived from the
Latin "prunus''-a plum; and in its
generally accepted designation is ap-
Piled to those special varieties Of the
plum family that possess exceptional
curing qualities of firm texture, easily
dried whole, in the sun or artificially
without fermenting at the pit. These
varieties constitute the prune of COM
merce, and it's history dates back to
the time of Pliny, who speaks of its
culture by the Romans.
That part of the earths surface
where the prune can be grownsin all of
its perfection is comparatively very
small. France, Germany and Italy are
the great prune-producing countries of
Europe, and yet in none of these can
all of the varieties be grown equally
well. The French, the German, and
the Italian prune are each adapted tc
the country from which they take their
name. There is no fruit in the world
so easily produced and so readily pre-
pared for the market, and with so
large percentage of a certainty of a
crop, and so remunerative to the grow
er, as is the prune when planted in a
soil and surrounded by a, climate suited
for it.
1t is peculiarly sensitive to both soil
and climate. 1t is a large feeder, and
reaches its best in a rich and heavy
soil with goor undertakings, but
with a sufficient moisture to feed it.
The prime requisites in the prune are a
solid, firm flesh that will not ferment
at the pit in drying; a rich, fruity
flavor and bouquet, and keeping quail
ity that will stand the tests of months
or years without serious loss from
shrinkage; and those sections which
possess the peculiarities of soil and eli
mate which insure these in the great
est perfection are the true and only
places where the prune can be grown
with good success. The drying quail
ties of the prune are also greatly varied,
owing to the varieties of soil in which
it is grown. In some localities it will
shrink in drying from to 1, while in
others PA pounds green fruit will make
1 pound of evaporated.
The cost of planting and cultivating an
orchard until it comes into a bearing or
paying condition, in the best prune dis
tricts of the west is as follows: The
cost of the trees, 10S, set 20 feet apart,
together with the blowing, planting,
and the necessary cultivation for the
period of three years, in an orchard of
not less than 20 acres, will not be far
from $50 per acre, providing the land
is in thorough cultivation to begin
with. The trees will usually commence
to bear the third year and reach their
full bearing about the seventh. One
hundred and fifty pounds of green fruit
to the tree is a low estimate of an av-
erage yield, and IL cents per pound a
low price for the green fruit. The
gross amount received from one acre
of prunes at this rate sold green would
be S243, and the $43 will easily pay the
annual expense per acre.
By evaporating the prunes these
profits can he still further increa sod g
pounds of green fruit making 1 of the
evaporated. That these figures are low
| is evidenced from the fact that many
times this amount has been realized per
acre from the crop of prunes produced.

camp, INDUCED in the flowing bowl
yesterday to rather large extent and,
while under the influence, began to
dilate on their relative merits as dis
ciples of Gladstone in the matter of

debate grew rather heated and ended
only when Soulti slashed Hill on the
side of the head and on the breast with
a pocket knife. Soulti then took a
hasty leave of Keefes saloon, where
the fracas occurred, and evaded the
police for an hour or so. Officers White
