ROMANCE OF HORTICULTURE.

The vine, the fig tree and the olive are
associated with all the best that the
romance of history offers. They are inti-
mately connected with all and every OF the
grand old civilizations of which the hand
OF time has left a record. Whether 1t be
that the fortuitous circumstances attend
ing the birth of the race happened to be
cast IN ATTITUDES where these most alluring
of human preferences in horticulture
could flourish, or whether there is sub
stantial connection between them and the
development of the race, is problem
which California seems to have the oppor-
tunity of solving. 1t is consoling to reflect
that the major part of the ferceness and
savagery of the world have sprung from
countries to which the vine, the hg-tree
and the olive were strangers, and that
whatever have been the mutations OF
civilization, climate is still vital factor in
the production of the finest human traits.
Where the vine, the fig tree and the olive
are grown there is no fierce struggle against
harsh climatic conditions to sustain life and
secure comfort. All that tends to develop
savage instinct is wanting and all that
conduces to the growth of fine and peaceful
traits is abundant. Thus the vine, the fig
tree and the olive must be regarded in
subjective rather than an objective sense
they are merely accompaniment OF in
finite graces to which the hearts OF men
naturally turn.
Every one of these three leading products
of California has a history which chains
the imagination to the glories of the past.
They lead up to the whole philosophy of
the splendid civilization which ages ago
tiourished on the banks OF the Euphrates
and threw glamour over the whole region
OF Galilee. Even the pyramids and the
sphinx could tell story of these ancient
blessings, and in veneration of them his
tory sheds tears ON the ruins OF Carthage.
Ancient Gaul and Phenicia, the Iberian
Peninsula Bagdad and the tales of the
Arabian Nights, Asia Minor and the
story of the cross, the wonderful valleys OF
the Rhine and the Danube, sang ages ago
the song that California is singing to-day;
and here and in this day and generation
we are reviving the dawn of ancient glory.
This would all be cheap and commonplace
were it possible anywhere else. In many of
the regions where the vine, the fig tree and
the olive hourished as the concomitants
of the most brilliant civilization that the
world has known there remain only some
degenerate races which stand abiectly
helpless before the fierce barbarians of the
north, who are to-day what the Huns, the
Goths and the Vandals were ages agone.
1t would be conceivable that the descend
ants of the present race of Californians
would find similar level did we not know
that the industrial conditions which pro-
duced the Old World degeneracy have
been rendered impossible here by racial
intermixture and the attrition of travel.
California to-day, in all that its strange
industries have to show of ancient luxury
and romance, is picture stepped forth
bodily and living from the most fascinat-
ing pages of ancient history.

DOUBLE-TRAOK ROADS.

The address by Professor Ross at Camp
Roache on 1.-THE Farmer as Transporter
which embraced the problem of country
roads, will probably have the effect of re-
newing interest among the grangers in this
most important feature of rural life and
rural industry. The subject has been
much discussed, but it can never be dis
cussed too much. There are but two or
three counties in California that have good
roads. and perhaps only In Santa Clara is
the excellence of the highways sufficiently
near perfection TO be just subject of local
pride.
In his recent report to the Secretary of
Agriculture on the best roads for farms
and farmers General Roy Stone, who made
an exhaustive inquiry into the subject, in
Dictated method of constructing good
roads that will be much cheaper than by
any other effective system yet practiced.
The perfection of roads, according to Gen
eral Stone, is C fine, dry, smooth, earth
track, easy to a horses feet and legs and
free from noise and jar. Such roads, how
ever, become impossible in bad weather,
and the general advocates therefore a mar
row well-paved track alongside the earth
road just wide enough for one vehicle.
1t is claimed that there is a sufficient ex-
perience to prove that the line of junction
between the earthen track and the paved
track can be kept even, and that the meet
ing and passing of loaded teams causes no
difficulty. The plan not only provides for
a cheaper construction of good highways,
but also for cheaper maintenance, mas
ha of Z h N inn
weather would be preferred, and, there
fore, would save that much wear and tear
on the paved track. The idea has been
well received and has much to commend
it. 1t certainly brings the cost of good
road construction within the reach of al
most every county, and will go far toward
encouraging all promoters of such enter
prises to continue in the good work.

we may thank DR.. Ransom for his sugges-
tions At the same time, while we know
that there is farcical element in modern
judicial methods of defining and ascer-
tanning accountability, and while we can
appreciate the force of uncomfortable i'm
pulse and of general suspicion directed
against the Insanity dodge we cannot
ignore the fact that in the treatment of the
insane the efficacy of discipline and the
fear of punishment are very important
things. DR.. Ransom's suggestions have
been sufficient, however, to set all wise
persons to thinking and studying, and out
of it all some light may come.

PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.

We have already referred to the manner in
which the manufacturers OF matches in the
United Kingdom appeal to their customers to
buy only English matches, by placing little
printed slip inside the cover of the box, asking
the people to ''patronize home industry, use
English matches, and employ British labor"
Large signs bearing the same views can now
be seen throughout the country districts of
England. This is exactly what the American
Protective Tariff League urges-namely that
the American people should patronize Ameri-
can home industries, use American made
goods, and employ American labor. The Eng
lish and American manufacturers thus have
precisely the same ideas
