possible what are the best methods of
treating apple orchards so that fruit
of the best quality may be obtained
with the smallest outlay of labor and
money.
Amount of Liquid Used.
The amount of liquid to be applied to
the large trees at each application
averages about four gallons. If less
liquid is used it will be insufficient to
cover all parts of. the tree as thorough
" as is desired; when more is used,
most of the excess will fall from the
tree to the ground and is lost.
Materials For Spraying.
The following are the materials to be
applied to the orchard, used singly or
in combination:
Bordeaux mixture.
Ammoniacal copper carbonate.
Paris green,
London purple.
The Bordeaux mixture is prepared
according to the formula:
Copper Sulphate, pounds,
Quick lime, pounds,
Water, 40 gallons.
The sulphate Of copper is bought in
by placing the six pounds in bag of
coarse material and suspending it in
the tor of pail filed with water.
Treated in this manner the crystals
dissolve in an hour or two. If hot
water is used less time is required

THE OCEANS SALT.

The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason of the tears shed
by Kronus. father of Zeus According
to the old Hebrais tradition. the ocean
was originally a great body of fresh
water, but which was made salt by
the abundant tears of the fallen an
gels. One sect of Buddhists believe
that Lots wife-that is to say, the
pillar of salt" which was once the
wife of the humble gentleman named
above-lies at the bottom of the ocean
in a certain narrow strait. and that
once each year the waters Of all
oceans flow through that narrow chan
mel. The Talmudic writer's say that it
was never salt until Moses wept re-
pentance after breaking the tables of

Spraying orchards to protect the foil
age and fruit from the attacks of in
sects and fungi may now be considered
as one of the regular duties connected
with the growing Of apples. Those who
have had experience in this direction
are practically unanimous in saying
that not only does it pay to spray ap-
pie orchards, but it generally pays
well. Doubts as to the advisability of
making applications to orchards are
rapidly disappearing, and now arise
the questions, what to apply, and how
and when to make the applications.

years later, on April Z, came Apo
nlattox, the end of the most strategic
struggle the world has known, and
the birth of tine new republic. On
April Of this year a most notable re
union is to take place on the site Of
the closing scene of the war. Veter-
ans of the south and of the north will
meet to view the grounds. and to
organize, for the purpose of having
another national park made of the
field of battle. AT present there is
much to interest the visitors. The old
veterans will hardly recognize
feature, except, perhaps, the Mclean
grounds, where the surrender took
place Still tablets everywhere tell of
the incidents of those memorable
weeks. Here is the celebrated apple
tree, or rather a knot and a knoll,
where Grant and Lee met. There is
still the roadway over which Lee and
Colonel Marshall Travelled on their re-
turn from the Mclean house, and
where the troops crowded to shake
the hands Of their venerated and
respondent leader. There are relics in
all these old houses of the battles
and of the surrender. In many place
hangs the canteen out Of which they
of the blue and grey drank on that
first reunion after the close Of the
conflict.
The veterans who will participate in
the gathering this week are almost all
delegates from Grand Army and Con-
federate camps, for the movement to
make this a national park originated
at the national gatherings of these
organizations. 1t is proposed now to
memorabilia Congress jointly. and it is
believed that the next session will see
the act creating the park passed. Inc
purchase of these grounds will practi-
cally complete the series Of great his
torical parks, which are to memorlallze
the pivotal events of the civil war
Disadvantage will be dedicated in
October. Antietam is already ma
tionaI property. Gettysburg is stud
ded with gems of marble and granite.
Shiloh will be dedicated next Septem-
Der. Thus, with Appomattox. to mark
the spot where peace came at last the
veterans can go to their eternal rest,
feeling that the details of no war in
history will live as will that OF 1S61-5.

A GREAT WASTE OF POWER

The lack of cheap fuel for use in manu-
featuring the many necessary articles
which ought to be made in Southern Cal
ifornia, is attracting the attention of cap
italists and electricians to the enormous
waste of power now going on in our water
courses. from out of every mountain
canyon in Southern California there
comes rushing all winter long, and in
some instances for the entire twelve
months OF the year, a stream of concen-
trated power which should be harnessed
and its force used for the benefit of man.
kind. AT Ontario an effort is to be made
shortly to use the wasting power of the
waters OF San Antonio canyon in gener-
ating electricity to light the stree is OF the
colony and to furnish motive power for
line OF street cars. There is enough of
this power going to waste in San Gabriel
canyon and in the Los Angeles river
which, if properly utilized would light the
city os Los Angeles and probably propel
all of its street cars besides. The waters
of Bear Valley. Sweetwater and Lake
Hemet, all now practically going to waste
as far as power is concerned, should all
be made to do duty before going into the

wasted power, and we can neither afford
to lose nor waste anything which will
tend to the material development of
Southern California.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT PACKING

While it is true that the market for
dried fruit is practically unlimited. it
must not be forgotten that this refers to
good fruit properly and carefully handled,
and put before the consumer in an at
tractive manner. The weak point thus
far. in nearly every variety of California
fruit put on the market, is our common
neglect of its appearance. This is true
only in general sense, for there are
some most creditable exceptions to the
rule, but as a reproducing state we
must pay more attention to the little de-
tails which 60 to make up an attractive
package in order that our fruit may meet
all kinds of competition in Eastern mar
kets. The eye of the purchaser is reached
before his palate, and fruit to sell must
be good-looking as we'll as good tasting.
The foreigner understands this in ali of
his fruit packing, and though 1t may be
woefully lacking in quality, and may
have been handled without regard to
cleanliness, it will have pleasing appear
ance to the eye when put on sale.
When California prunes were first placed
on the market it was difficult to find sale
for them in Eastern markets because they
were not assorted as to sizes. The quality,
it was conceded on all hands, was of the
very best, but consumers wanted them
graded, some preferring small prunes be-
cause the price was low, and Others pur-
chasing only large prunes no matter what
the price might be. At last large grower
at San Jose hit on the plan of sorting all
his prunes, sending them to market in tin
cans with glass front, each size carefully
selected. and he captured the markets at
once, getting double the price for his crop
over that of his neighbors. 1t was not
due to any superiority OF his fruit. but
entirely to his method of placing it
on the market. One Riverside apricot
grower has had market for years in Bos-
ton for all OF his crop at price usually 80
per cent above the ruling market rate be-
cause all of the fruit is carefully packed in
cases, each half apricot hattened out and
thumbed down, just as the Spanish
raisins are packed in what is known as
Dehesia style. A Santa Barbara rirn,
making a speciality of lemon culture, is
wrapping all of its fruit in handsomely
printed wrappers in what is known as the
Slcllian STYLE giving the boxes OF fruit a
handsome and striking appearance, and
they claim that they are making money
by going to the slight extra expense in
volved in this method of packing.
All these things go to show that the ex-
ira work necessary to put fruit, green or
dried, on the market in an attractive
manner is money well invested. Califor-
MIA grows the finest fruits in the United
States, and, as rule, they are prepared
for market in the cleanest manner OF anv
fruits produced in the world. If we add
to these two strong points the third one

mand the markets not only of this coun. |

while his wife is nearly 40.
Mrs. Bryant was formerly Mrs. Johnson

Bryant while he was sick and a divorce
was the result on the ground OF infidel;ty.
Then Mrs. Johnson. according to Bryant.

one night Mrs. Joanson was very ill and
both thought she was going to die. To
soothe her last moments Bryant signed a
marriage contract. But Mrs. Johnson did
not die. She recovered and now Bryant
alleges that she pretended size was going
to die so that he would marry her.
He has refused to live with her and
now wants to be released from his entan-
clement. Mrs. Bryant says she secui ed a
divorce from Johnson to please Bryant
