Laying OF an Orchard.

G. w. Mosteller of the Star Nursery,
Ventura, gives the Advocate of that town
the following timely paragraph, AS plan
for stalking off an orchard by the equilat-
eral-triangle method, the following is per-
haps the most expeditions plan, but will
not do for billy or stump land: Determine
the length and width of plat to be staked
off; get No. II galvanized steel wires of
corresponding length and width of orchard.
One of the wires is to be used to establish
base line, and to establish each row of
stakes across the orchard. Let us call this
the base-line wire. You will need marks
on this wire exactly the width the trees are
to stand apart. WaXed string wrapped
round and round at each distance will do
but 1t is better to use bit of cloth at these
marks, made secure, so as not to slip, by
wrapping waxed string over and under it
yet SO as to be plainly visible. Now, as
you wish to plant in equilateral- triangle
form, place string and bits of cloth of an
other color half way between the marks
noted above. Stake this baseline row at
each alternate mark. The other wire is
needed to stake the two sides the distance
the rows, not the trees, are to be apart
This is determined by multiplying the dis
lance apart the trees are to stand by 1866.
10 illustrate: Suppose the planter
| wishes to plant at 80 feet apart each way
multiply 1866 by 80 feet, which equals 25. 98
feet, almost Is feet from row to row. The
stakes in this case at the sides of plat will
be 1888 feet apart and must correspond
with marks on the second wire. To get
other distances apply the same rule But
| you cannot establish these side stakes
until you square the plat of land to be
| planted. To do this saw three straight
strips of board-one feet, another feet
and another 10 feet long. Nail the two
| short strips at right angles and Join them
| across the angle with the 10-foot strip
Place this right-angle frame with one base
on base line at the corner of the plat, and
the other base of triangle will enable you
to establish the square. Use the second
wire to guide you. Now set the stakes to
correspond with marks on the wire. Take
this wire TO the opposite side of plat and do
as before. \ on are now ready to stake off
the plat. Return to the base-line wire.
Have man at each end to move and
stretch the wire into line with next stake on
sides. Make tight and secure the wire,
then stake this row at the alternate marks
from the base row. Be sure to carry the
| wire straight at one end continually al
slack. Continue this until the entire block
is staked. You might divide large or
chard into forty or fifty acre blocks. If the
orchard be small you can get along without
the use of the side wire by measuring care
fully with a short wire. To determine the
number of trees per acre when set ''dia-
mond'' form first get the number required
as II set square form and divide it by 1885,
10 ind the number square form square the
distance between the trees and divide
43 $50 by it,

H. H. Hunting of San Jose furnishes
the San Jose Mercury with the following
concerning the peach moth, or twig- borer,
which is in some districts working in
gratis set as late as February /:
As the gratis start to grow and get out
from one-third to one or two inches in
length the twig-borer (Which is a small
brownish worm from one-fourth to one
the heart as far as it is tender toward the
scion, and the first indication you see of
his whereabouts is the whitening of the
new growth, but if you can cut into the
bud at the base and look close YOU will find
the worm. Kill him, for when one bud is
gone he hunts up another, and if he is not
stopped will sometimes seriously affect the
shape OF your tree. If you have lots of
gratis to go over, and they are very bad,
use the following wash as per directions:
Potash ID hounds
Caustic soda (9S per cent? ............ pounds
Lime, unslacked. Observation-Disclosures. 5 pounds
Fish oil, polar or seal. 10 gallons
Directions-First: Dissolve the soda and
potash by placing them together in about
ten or twelve gallons of water
Second-Slack the lime in the barrel in
two gallons of water; then add the fish oil
to the lime and stir well until the lime and
the oil have turned to thick batter: then
add the soda and potash, water boiling
hot. and stir well with a dasher for five
minutes or more; then leave standing for
about four or six hours: then fill up with
cold water. Do not pour in all the water
at once, but about two buckets at a time:
stir well as the first two buckets OF water
go in to prevent Jumps. Use the following
day. Apply cold, one pound to the gallon
of water. In dissolving it do not boil, but
weigh the amount to be used, place in a
barrel, and on top of it pour hot water,
about one bucket to every hundred pounds
of material. After pouring in the hot
water stir lively with a dasher until it is
entirely dissolved; then reduce with cold
water until sufficiently thin to pass through
the strainer; then place in the tank and I'LL
up with water; stir well and it is ready for
use; apply cold.

they spend the winter, maturing into
moths in the early summer. To destroy
them the trees may be scraped or washed
with hot lime wash on the trunks TO the
first limb. To wrap some loose cloth. as

tice the moths to make their cocoons under
it, when they. may be more easily taken

Fertilizing the Orange Orchard.

Professor Hilgard of the State Univer-
sity figures that 10000 pounds of oranges
take from the soil $3.50 pounds of nitrogen,
1850 pounds of phosphoric acid and AZ. IS
pounds of potash. Granting that this
estimate is correct, whether it is necessary
to return to the soil an amount of nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash equal to
that taken up by the fruit depends upon
local circumstances. 1t it is new soil less
will answer. If the trees are old and have
never been fortified more can be applied
with safety. Speaking of this Professor
Hilgard says: "Phosphoric acid added to
well-drained soil is not lost when added in
excess OF the needs of the crop; nor is anv
moderate application of potash salts. it
is otherwise with nitrogen, which, if added
in the form of Chile saltpeter, is readily
washed out of the soil, or if in another
form, say tankage or ammonia salts, NAV
pass into the inert condition in connection
with the humus of the soil. OF the salt
peter, therefore, We as a rule, add hardly
more than is required for the years crop,
and that sometimes in successive doses to
prevent waste" The present price of
nitrogen is about 16 cents per pound, phos-
phoric acid to cents per pound and pot
ash cents.

WESTERN FARMS
and ORCHARDS.
THE WONDERFUL VARIETY OF
PRODUCTS GROWN ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.
CHEMISTRY OF THE ORANGE.
REMEDY FOR THE PEACH BORER
LAYING OUT ORCHARDS ON
LEVEL GROUND.

Eastern people are often led to wonder
why there is such a variety of products in
California. 1t is because of our climate,
and, incidentally, the variety of soil. The
climate is influenced by the topography of
the country. The Rocky Mountains form
a barrier on the east and prevent the tenn
pests and billiards from reaching US from
that direction. On the west is the peaceful
Pacific, with the Japan current sweeping
our shores and spreading its warm breath
over the land, making it cool in summer
and warm in winter.
Nearly anything will grow nearly any
where in California, but there is a great
variety of soil, and what may grow only
moderately well in one section may pro-
duce largely in another. While one soil
may not be suited to oranges it may be the
very best kind of soil for potatoes. And
while the climate of one section may not
be suited for one product it may for an
other. Some fruits like the moisture-laden
air and heavy loamy soils of the coast, 9TH
ers do better in the sandy soil and hotter
climate of the interior.
We all know that a given product will
grow more thriftily in one section than in
another; that while in many sections a
certain kind of tree will grow, there is one
place where 1t seems to thrive better than
in any other place. This is due to so many
little peculiarltieS of soil and climate that
they can scarcely be enumerated 1t is a
fact, however, that Sicily produces the best
lemons, Havana the best tobacco, SMYRNA
the best figs and California the best or
anges, prunes and raisins. There are other
products also in which California leads
Australia has expended over $50, 800 900
for the destruction of rabbits in the past
seven years. The rabbits were introduced
by gentleman from England who took
over a score or so to remind him of home.
Another farmer imported to Australia from
Cumberland few years ago some foxes,
thinking that they might give occasional
sport for himself and his hounds. The
foxes now annually destroy thousands of
sheep. A canny Scot took to Australia
some thlstleS, and now the land is overrun
with them. An Englishman introduced
some watercress, and it is now blocking
the watercourses. California has so far
escaped these plaques, but the English
sparrow may yet become a nuisance. The
prompt action taken by our officers in pre-
venting the introduction of the mongoose
saved TO our farmers thousands of dollars
If every city in the United States of
10000 inhabitants and over was provided
with a cold-stOrage warehouse fresh fruit
could be kept and distributed throughout
the year as needed in each city, thus pro-
viding a market for many times as much
fruit as IS now consumed.

TAXPAYERS KNOW TOO MUCH.
Consequently In Future they Will Not Be
Given the OHic al Proceedings of
the Township Board.

Consequently In Future they VIII Not Be
Given the Omo,al Proceedings of
the Township Board.
Several months ago the writer, who
was then conducting newspaper in
Baraga, entered into a contract with the
township board to publish the official
proceedings of the meetings. The re-
suit was that tine taxpayers knew what
was going on, and although, perhaps
many an action taken by the board did not
meet with general approval. still they
had the satisfaction of knowing what
was done, aud not being called upon, as
In previous years, to virtually "paY for
cat In bag" without knowing
whether it was plain maltese, or a
"black one with pink eyes and stub
tall" The public rsjoiced over the fact
that the proceedings were published, but
the rights Of the people are often lightly
considered and they can now remain in
ignorance again regarding the actions of
the board, at least as far as its members
are concerned, for they have decided
that it is not necessary to continue the
publication.
There are several theories which may
be taken into consideration regarding
the decision, perhaps one Of which being
that communication published In The
SENTINEL last week, setting forth several
astonishing transactions Is it possible
that the public is getting too wise regard
ing some matters? or has the board sudden
ly decided to ECONOMIZE, so as to have
plenty of money for another election
and banquet?
THE SENTINEL does not propose to
publish tho proceedings gratis, but it
will endeavor TO let the public know the
important transactiens Of each meeting.
