News Notes.
POMONA, April 0-The Progress is responsi-
BILE for the following: There are no more ju-
blant men in the country than the Southern
California orange growers. During the past
week the exchanges have raised the prices to
$2for nsveIs of the fancy brand, and $l.75 for
choice; seedlings, $1.50 for fancy and $1.35
for choice-all t. O. b. quotations.
With oranges selling at good prices and n
splendid outlook for large deciduous fruit
crops this season and good market by reason
ofths widespread disaster OF fruits throughout
the east wrought BY the severe cold wlvo last
week, how eau California fruit growers be
otherwise but jubilant? Ii is the opinion Of
the older residents and best business men. OF
fo2olia, that the coming season will BEL
prosperous one In this valley IN spite Of the

Clipped and Condensed.

ALWAYS keep salt where the cows
necessary when the pasturage is the
best.
WHILE the doctors are settling dis
puted questions about tuberculosis,
farmers would better give their cows
the best hygienic care and surround
ings.
THERE is no profit in raising calves
unless they are we'll cared for from the
start. Stall them like older cattle
when brought from the pasture in the
fall.
THE Massachusetts, experiment sta
ton found that feeding skinned milk
to calves and hogs was equivalent to
selling the milk at thirty-6ve cents a
hundred.
LIME makes sandy soil more COM
pact and prevents clay soil running to-
gether; it unlocks some forms of potash
and hastens the preparation of plant
food from the vegetable matter in the
soil.
ROUTINE work is tiresome to young
or old in any calling. Make the farm
work as light and pleasant to the young
folks as possible. Remember they can
not see it from the same standpoint as
can man.
THE best way to clear woods pas.
ture of sprouts is to turn in the sheep.
If you happen not to have flock, buy
one. Perhaps you will find them USE
full in other ways.
Pics can be fed, handled and dis
posed Of to better advantage if the lit
tiers from the sows come about the
same time. 1t is best to have them
uniform in size and also in growth.
1T is but folly and loss to feed dry
COWS through the WlOter that they may
make S25 or $50 during the summer.
Remember that it costs more to sustain
animal life in winter.
GA TEST covering over 10000 COWS
and recorded in my books to-day shows
me that large proportion, nearly forty
per cent of the 10000, don't pay for
their board," says W. D. Hoard.
MANURE is fertility, that is, food.
Place it where the young feeders can
get it we'll mixed in the very finely pull
verified soil. 1t is not the fault of the
plant usually if it does not thrive.
IT is an old adage, but one containing
sound sense, that little boats should
keep near shore. This will apply in
agriculture as we'll as in other lines of
business. The place for the farmer of
small capital is on the small farm.
GOOD water is just as important as
good pasture, and if both are not pro-
vided no dairy can be operated with
the best results. A COW likes good
water better than poor, and we know
a lot of cows who invariably cross a
creek to get water at we'll during the
hot summer, and their owner is hui
name enough to keep a supply at the
we'll for them.-Ne,0 England Farmer.

Smokers for the Apiary.

A good smoker is one of the essen
tials in beeyard while a poor one is
nuisance A good smoker has a strong
draft-strong enough to blow the smoke
clear across the hive and down between
the frames TO the bottom of the hive if
needed. 1t is often necessary to blow
the smoke down between the frames,
especially when you want to drive the
bees out of an upper story. A good
smoker has lively spring, one that
contracts and enlarges quickly. A coiled
spring is good The leather on a smoker
should not be too heavy, but soft and
spongy. Do not purchase too small a
smoker.
A writer in The Farmers Advocate
thinks it pays to use the smoker every
time one opens a hive, although he is
careful not to overdose the bees with
smoke. He says; II go to hive that
want to look into and take off the COW
er, then start to raise the quilt at one
corner As l continue to take it off
gently puff in little smoke just to let
them know / am around. AS a rule,
scarcely a bee will take wing. They sit
quietly on their combs until l am
through looking at them. If ] happen
to let a comb slip or jar against the
hive, l will be apt to need the smoker
again. In the above l am supposing
that they are Italians, the only kind
keep. If the bees are blacks, they will
be more irritable. -
AS regards the fuel to be used in
the smoker, the correspondent quoted
employs dry planer shavings, not those
from a large planer used in dressing
lumber-those are too coarse-but those
from buzz planer or molding machine
are just right. Put few in the bottom
of the smoker, then light match and
throw it on them, and after the shay
ings get agoing commence working the
bellows and get the shavings to become
thoroughly heated through. Now fill up
the smoker with more shavings and
pack them as you fill; keep putting the
bellows while you are filling, and when
you have it filled place few bench
shavings, those made with an ordinary
hand plane, on top to keep the small
shavings from being blown through the
nozzle. You are now ready to 90 to work
There are other things that make good
smoker fuel, such as rags, rotten wood
carpet felt, cedar bark, etc.
