vegetable products, delightful to the eye,
pleasant to the palate, and profitable as
well.
In thickly settled communities fences
are often considered unnecessary. There
are more orchards in this county that are
unfenced than there are that are fenced.
Where stock is not allowed to run at large
there would seem to be little use for a
ence, but fences are always necessary,
and if properly built never fail to pay
interest upon the investment. To be
thoroughly effective a fence should be
horse proof, cow-proof pig-proof, chicken
proof. man-rroof and boy-proof. This
NAV seem radical, but it is fully war
ranted bv experience. The difference
between the appearance OF vegetation IN
plat of ground that is properly fenced and
that in an unfenced plat is very noticeable.
The fence seems to lend vigor to plants,
while in fact it only acts as protection
from injury by Contact-unlesS 1t is a close
board tence sufficiently high to afford pro-
lection from the wind.
An orchardist on the Penetencia Creek,
in Santa Clara County has the most etfl-
cient fence we have seen. 1t is q board
fence, with the boards placed moderately
close together, and is capped by two lines
of barbed wire From the top of the posts
pieces of scantling about two feet in length
are extended at an angle in such way
that when the two wires are stretched they
prevent any interference with the fence.
1t would be almost impossible for man
or q boy to climb over it, and no one can
get under it or through it.
When fruit hangs ripe upon the trees by
the roadside, luscious and tempting, only
people with correct and firmly rooted prin-
ciples can refrain from poachlng, while the
majority of paSSerS- by do not attempt to
refrain. What is eaten does not amount
to much. Considerable is wasted, how
ever, and often the fruit buds are broken
off or limbs broken. Again, if a COW gets
into an orchard in the night she can
greatly damage the trees before morning.
Often the absence of q fence causes loss of
a greater sum than a good fence would cost.
A good fence always pays for itself, and
the better the fence the more profitable it
is Many claim that this principle applies
even to the extent of building a fence OF
narrow boards from ten to twenty feet In
height.
Lady birds are friends of the fruit-grower.
They live wholly on insects.
The varieties of cherries which have
proved the most satisfactory in California
are Bigarreau, Black Eagle, Elton, Cover
nor Wood, Black Tartarian, Belle dor
leans and Bauman's May.
The usual way to prepare fruit in jars for
exhibition is to use solution Of saEcylic
acid in water Zone ounce to gallon), using
it cold and sealing the jars in the usual
way. This preserves the natural appear
ance of the fruit perfectly, but the fruit is
not fit for eating afterward.
Some mistakes may be corrected or over
come, but planting an orchard of poor
trees on unsuitable land is not one of them.
1t is far better to plant one of the right
kind in the right place and then give it
proper care than to plant 100 sickly trees
on poor land, to be neglected later on.

cause as rule more profitable crops can
be raised. Horses and COWS are OCCASION
ally killed when allowed to feed too freely
in patches where the growth has been
rank, as they eat the black fungous growth
which sometimes appears upon the corn
grown along the coast where there is
much dampness. 1t is black, dusty stuff,
similar 10 the ergot OF rye, and is poison
Gus. Ears showing it should be removed
before stock is turned into the field. 1t is

Last year when the railroad strike &C.
Cured, most of the fruit crop was ripe and
ready to be harvested. As a result, much
fruit was lost because there were no trans
portation facilities. Cherries, being per-
ishable, were in some ms tances left upon
the trees. a few orchardists dried their
cherries. Good dried cherries command
a fair price, but many erred in drying
them with the pits in. Cherries dried in
this manner always have bitter, burned
taste, no matter how nice the fruit was. If
the pits are removed before the cherries
are spread out to dry, the fruit is delicious.
