BUSINESS IMPROVING.

The fact that business is steadily i'm
proving in Eastern trade centers, and
that wages in some lines, notably the
iron industry, are coming back toward
the standard which they held before the
beginning Of the free trade crusade tiasco,
should nave an encouraging effect upon
all classes of people who have felt The
blighting results of the business de-
preston of the past two years. With the
wheels OF industry again turning
and labor again employed better prices
may reasonably be expected for the
products of The field and orchard, and
improved conditions generally antici-
pated. There is a general feeling that the
worst is over, and while considerable
time will doubtless elapse before the full
measure Of former prosperity will be
realized, there is much satisfaction in the
knowledge that the worst Is past and the
tide is turning, slowly though it may be.

HORSES HAVE IDEAS.

Horses are almost as superstitious as
mea. bur. unlike men. they can be reas-
oned with and made broad-minded. liner
al, free-thinting philosophers The
horse is the noblest animal that walks
the earth. He has most of the good
traits of the human race, with some of
the bad ones"
lt was Prof. Bartholomew who spoke
in thi, exalted strain about the horse,
says Chicago daily.
Take, for instance" said he, "those
horses raised on the big ranches in Coli
fornia. where got my first training.
There are "A lot of parallel valleys, each
of which may be the property of Il sep
arate ranchero, but the horses have free
access among them all. Thus horses of
different brands get mixed, and once "a
year all the rancheros club together and
have gigantic roundup. Several
thousands animals of dozen different
brands may be rounded into one herd.
The cowboys ride round and round
them continuously to prevent any break
lug away. and thus the whole herd
is kept IN constant motion. When a
creature tries to break out he is pur-
sued and whipped back, till he realizes
that his only escape from punishment is
in remaining with the herd. All this
time cowboys are riding about in the
herd cutting OUT the different brands.
Every maverick is roped and branded
with the mark of the older horse it is
following. The branding is cruel work
and the horses never forget it.
"They seldom, if ever, see a man afoot,
but they associate the idea of the pain
with that of "A mounted man. and brood
over it till it grows stronger and strong
err. The sight of horseman is to them
frightful, and they are desperate in their
attempts to escape from his presence.
The older they grow the stronger is their
dread of mounted men, and it is Inherit
ed by the colts till it has all the features
OF a superstition. Still it can be educat-
ed OUT of them.
" Then again there may be individual
superstitions. Say, for instance, a
horse falls off the cliff and is badly
bruised. He may be fearless at any
other pass, but he will carefully avoid
this particular place where he was in
iured. One horse may fear one thing
and another another. Untamed ranch
horses may have different superstitions

PROFIT IN FRUIT.
Oranges and Lemons Often Yield
a Handsome Profit, and
Olives, Cherries and
Prunes and All Kinds
of Decidu0us Trees
Pay Better Than Grain.
Writ ten for THE CALL
By GEORGE D. KELLOGG.

Is fruit-growing profitable2 Ny answer
to this question would be in the affirma-
tive. 1 am not unmindful of the fact that
with come it Is of lesser degree than with
others. In the consideration of this sub
ject shall treat it as pertaining to fruit
growing in California, and also, locally,
where am more familiar and having my
proof all coming under my own observa-
ton.
In order to maintain this industry a
profitable one it will be necessary to make
the gain per acre much greater than a
grain farm in the East, for the reason that
one man can cultivate many more acres oil
grain than he can of fruit; so, if one man
could attend to eighty acres of grain and
bring him profit OF $1,000 p per annum il
will be necessary to handle ten-acre
fruit tract in a way to produce net profit
of $1,000, also to make it appear to be pref
cradle industry, as eighty acres of grain is
as pear within the reach of one mans cul.
tivation as is ten acres of fruit.
Peaches being somewhat staple crop in
Placer County l will consider the culture
of that product first.
Those who have carefully computed the
cost of producing, packing and delivering
q box of peaches ready for shipment at the
fruit-shipping house agree that its cost is
from % to 25 cents per box of % pounds.
The cost being established we have only to
get ct the market price Of the peach to de-
termine its profit. The market price for
merchantable stock for the season of 1895
ranged from 25 to 70 cents per box, according
to the time of year, quality and packing,
with probable average of 35 10 40 cents
per box. In 1894 the market price in New
castle was just about the same. With from
500 to 800 boxes per acre, are we not enti-
tied to affirm that they are paying crop
Do not misunderstood me-there are
houses in Newcastle that have paid those
prices and maintained them, even through
the glut of the season; the same is true of
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-25

the season of 1894, Any man that got less
for his fruit in this market either season
must have consigned his fruit, method
which if followed up is very liable to brin,
disaster to the consigner under present
modes of operation.
Take for another example a crop of
cherries. know of nothing that yields
the net results equal to good field of
cherries. Aside from their being an early
fruit and bringing early money, they have
an added advantage that the yield on an
ordinary cherry orchard is from ten to
twenty boxes of fruit per tree, of ten
pounds to the box and 1OS trees to the acre.
This would give us from 1880 to 2160 boxes
of cherries to the acre. Striking an
average we have about 1920 boxes to
the acre. This at an average price
of so cents at the fruithouse would
bring a gross value of $3.50. If the cost of
producing, picking, packing and deliver
ing box should leave a profit of but Is
cents per box it gives splendid margin
in favor of the industry.
Take crop of Bartlett pears on suitable
r ,und, and counting but four boxes to the
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-25

tree. we have about 432 boxes to the acre
placing the cost of the box at double that
of the peach, or at 46 to so cents, and find
ing an average price for Bartletts at the
fruithouse to be 70 cents per box, we have
profit that would make a graingrower
envious.
I can cite the public to a single three
acres of French prunes grown within a
mile of Newcastle, the owner of which
sold has crop of dried prunes from said
three acres for $1,000 in the season of 1894,
known as disastrous year.
Oranges and lemons are yielding hand
some income in this locality to the pro-
Queer. owing to the fact of our crops being
so much earlier than those grown in the
larger orchards of Southern California,
the higher prices for earlier fruits being
obtained by the fact that our harvest OF
this fruit covers the three great National
holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years.
Olives also are grown and produce a
good revenue for the husbandman when

OUR LAND VALUES.
Good Real Estate Is Preferred
Property-Fictitious and
Inflated Values Are Fad
ing and Intrinsic Worth,
at Good Prices, Is the
Sound, General Basis.
Written for THE CALL
By WENDELL EASTON.

A very interesting question that prop
erty-holders throughout the State are ask
ing themselves at the present time is,
"What is my property worth?" At an
important turning point in the growth of
the State, precipitated by the financial
conditions prevailing throughout the
country during the past two or three years,
the State has practically taken on new
condition which has resulted in material
change in land values. While we use this
phrase in general sense the real fact is
that we have not taken on any new value
in the strictest sense, although selling
prices have materially changed. have
always been of the opinion that land values
we're approximate, and while quotations
should be based upon actual earning
values of property still there are other
conditions which prevail OF supply and de-
mand. which also are factors in fixing
realty prices.
1t is found when financial pressure OBJ
tains that land is not so easily turned, as
many people are of the same mind at the
same time, and the supply exceeding the
demand has very marked effect on the
price that can be obtained. This in many
cases, however, is blessing in disguise, as
man who bases his responsibility upon
land values has much the better standing
in the community, and while he may not
be able to realize at short notice it may be
a blessing in stringent times that he may
not be able to turn himself so promptly
and possibly force himself to make sacri-
flee.
California, o State of wonderful resources,
has been profitable field for Adventures in
land operations, and misstatements have
lived for awhile and many wrong acts have
been perpetrated on unsuspecting people,
who felt if they were buying piece OF
land they had tangible property. While
q very large percentage OF the State is

EXPENSIVE SMOKING.

There are several wealthy men in London
who are reputed to spend over $500 per
year on cigars. This is considered very
large over there, but several American mil
lionaires are said to exceed this. One of
them has been reported as spending $40, 900
annually on cigars. An English nobleman,
who married an American woman, who
brought a bag of money with her. has as
founded London with his extravaganza in
cigars. He pays about $500 monthly for
them, and always trades with one dealer,
who posts sign to that effect in order to
attract customers. Several prominent
Englishmen, among whom is said to be
Labouchere, buy cigarettes imported from
Turkey at cost OF 10 cents each. One of
them smokes and gives away 100 in day,
which is probably the record for expen-
sive cigarette smoking.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-25

is not so much shrinkage OF value as the
leveling OF values, and new quotation OF
price is the natural result. which will be
beneficial to productive and mertorious
lands, and is natural disadvantage to
land OF contrary character. The result
must be to discourage the holders of large
unoccupied areas of land, must create an
inclination for the REIMBURSEMENT of at
least portion of these vast holdings, and
in the end will be beneficial to the State,
as it will create, by degrees, an inclination
TO improve, and land must earn or it has
no value.
Certainly an opportunity is developing
which will be of benefit to the masses
throughout the State, and the same ele-
ments which are encouraging the i'm
provement of vacant land in the cities OF
the State are gradually extending into the
interior, and a result will lie that proper
ton of our surplus population now in the
cities will be seeking homes in the coun-
try.
To-day in several counties of the State
land can be purchased by the new occupant
simply agreeing to improve, and the time
for the payment of the principal amount
OF the purchase can be extended over
number of years, and that dependent upon
the income from the land, to practically
make the land pay for itself. Land that
will gradually work out on this basis cer-
tainly has fixed value, and to my mind
is the true value Of our entire State.
When we consider that the State of Call
ifornia could be surrounded with stone
wall and the State could absolutely sus-
tain itself without assista nee from the
outside, we begin to see the principality in
which we are living and comprehend that
our State has true value based upon merit.
Without doubt we are responding to the
crucial test which has been applied to our
values, and there are strong indications all
along the line that land can be sold when
it can demonstrate an earning capacity,
and it is simply wonderful that good land
is being sold to-day at good strong prices
and demonstrates the fact that when we
have the chaff blown away from the
wheat we will arrive at the true basis of
value of land in California-income.
