The Bond Syndicate.

New York, May ia Wall street news
agency says: Evidences point to a
cleaning up process having been begun
by the bond syndicate. The recent re-
turn to the members of 40 per cent. of
their subscription money was the first
step in this direction. 1t is uncertain
when the balance will be returned but
some think it will be in a short time.
The calling from the syndicate members
of extra gold is another step in the same
direction. There is authority for the
statement that the progress of events in
the desired direction has been good
deal faster than the syndicate expected
or even hoped would be the case. The
development of foreign investment buy
ing on a large scale so noticeable this
month, has practically assured the
country against any large demand for
gold for a good many months to come.
Most of the syndicates preparations
were made against this danger

GARDEN IRRIGATION.

The subject of irrigation of the gar
den is one Of present interest. The
garden is the most productive part Of
the farm, but quite often the product
is greatly reduced by a few dry days
during which young plants are dA
StrOyed for the want Of water, or the
older ones are so weakened at the
blossoming time that they fail to set
fruit. That most important crop, the
strawberries, especially suffers from
the want of water, and it has been
found that some simple method Of ir-
rigation has trebled the average yield
with an equivalent Improvement in
the quality Of the fruit. 1t has been
shown by scientific experiments, says
the Denver Field and Farm. that the
yield of any crop is in proportion to
the quantity of water passing through
the plants This is not only reason
able, but easily demOnstrable, q fthe
dissoled in water and if the W. ~ is
deficient In supply. the plant Is So rved
to the extent of the deficiency. While
the contrary applies equally. So that
a short supply of water in the soil is
equivalent to a shortening of the supply
Of food, and the most fertile soil cam
not yield more than a meagre crop.
It is the same as if the soil were de-
ficient in fertility. 1t is usually proper
to irrigate most garden truck at the
poisoning period. especially if the soil
is dry and the weather warm, and it
is again essential to water when the
fruit is set.

HANDLE INSECTICIDES WITH eau
TION.

In mixing or using insecticides for
spraying trees or shrubbery, a few
cautions should be observed: Do not
mix the copper preparations in IRON or
tin, always use wood, brass or eartA
vessels. The valves, cylinder, piston
etc, of the pumps should also be Of
brass. Do not add Paris green to am
monia containing compounds or sui
phate of copper solution, always use
lime or Bordeaux. Never spray with
arsenites while the trees are in bios
som, as the bees will be poisoned:
they are necessary to fertiliZe the flow
ers. Never leave any Of the pOisons
where children Of animals of any kind
can get hold of them. Label them dis
tinctly, and put them away carefully
as soon as through using them. Study
carefully the nature of the insect or
disease, and select the remedy that
is most likely to destroy it without
danger of injuring the plants. Do not
spray with arsenites or copper COM
pounds within three weeks of the time
the sprayed portions are to be eaten.
While there would be no danger OF
fatal effects resulting it is best not 10
run any risk. Bordeaux mixture Ehd
other lime compounds should notHbe
used upon rough or full grown fruits,
even as late as that time. Not only
does the lime disfgure the fruit, but
the amount Of copper is large.

Stirring up the Animals.

"When an eastern man goes
west, he seems to fill up at once
with free silver ideas. Mr.. F. W.
Edelsten, formerly of this city, is
now the editor of THE BULLION, at
Los Angeles, CAL, and he writes in
this way:
Chauncey M. Depew says: We
may have all the money in the
world, but If there is no confidence
there can be no enterprise and
prosperity. Will Uhauncey, tell
us how there can he confidence
without money. 1t is peculiar
how much more confidence the
goldites have when moneyais scarce
than when it is plentiful. The
quality Of money does not depend
upon quantity-the quality is a
thing chat the law confers. Give
the country an ample volume of
money, and the people will take
the risk of there being confidence.
Mr.. Edelsten's attention might
be called to two occasions when
there was ''an ample volume" of
money, if that is all he wants,
One was when the old Continental
currency was so ample in volume
that people burned it up. The
other was when the Confederate
States issued all the paper money
they thought they needed. The
volume was ample in each case, but
the confidence was defective.

The celebrated George D. Prem
tice wrote of John Brough, a fat
editor, doggerel squib, as follows:
II flesh is grass, as poets say.
Johnny Brough is q load Of hay"
Brough replied that she thought
he was, for every ass was nibbling
at him.
: Several asses, of the goldite
breed, have been nibbling at The
BULLION; and the latest one is the
Daily Journal, published way down
IN Walt street-ridden New Jersey,
and at a town called Elizabeth.
The editor is evidently one OF
those isnoramuses on the financial
question, whose reading has been
confined to Continental and Com
federate money. He Is probably
paid to blab for the Rothschilds
and their agents in this country.
1t seems senseless to discuss the
money question with the ass OF the
Daily Journal, for he has shown 'il
himself so obtuse. that he cannot
understand the position OF HE
BuLLIoN, though it has been SO
often and so clearly stated that the
fool need not err therein. we
despair making the Daily Journal
man comprehend us, still we will
briefly restate our.position.
THE BULLION is for free coinage, !,
on. a ratio of l6 to /, whether
foreign nations consent or not, and
for the reason that We need a
larger volume of money for domes-
tic use. and free silver coinage will
give it. If anybody wants paper
money, we have no objection. pro-
,videdsit is. made redeemable with
the coins of either of the precious
metals at the option Of the govern
ment. that is the secretary OF the
treasury shall choose the coin
which he will exchange for paper.
The ass of the Daily Journal
has not read deeply enough to
have found out that the Continental
notes became worthless, for want
of coin with which to redeem them.
Those who have read with profit to
themselves. have discerned that for
many years no gold or silver was as
produced in this country worthy OF
mention until the acquisition OF
California and New Mexico, and
that our expectations of home pro-
ductioas. were slight, until some
years after the invention. by Whit
ney, of the cotton gin, and our
