How to Cure Figs.

Speaking of fig growing and curing,
correspondent in the California Gull
tivator says: The White Adriatic is
the only variety have been successful
with. Pick the figs when sufficiently
ripe to turn down little on the stem.
Sulphur them somewhat less than
apricots. Place in the sun to dry on
trays with inch stats for bottoms with
one quarter inch spaces between the
Stats. Turn in the evening of the
first day, and once day till dry. if
two days be not sufficient. Those that
puff up while drying, puncture with a
knife. When sufficiently dry put them
in the sweat box Gan ordinary fruit
box and cover with another box.
This will take about four days. Then
dip the fruit minute or 30 in boiling
water and place couple of hours in
the sun to dry, when they will be
ready to pack up for sale in one, two,
or six.pound boxes. Place the figs
in the boxes partly on their sides and
press them in place. One will soon
acquire experience in curing and
packing if these general directions be
followed.
l believe the fig needs great deal of
irriga ting during the fruiting season.
1t prevents the fruit from souring. /
have had no success in drying the
Brown Smyrna fig.

The latest immigration statistics
from Ellis island. New York. are in.
stIuctive. 1t appears that from Jan
uary to April II Of the present year,
$1,000 immigrants were landed at
that place, against 1926 for the four
months Of January to April. inclusive,
1895. or the former number, about
10000 were Italians, of the latter II, :
500.
1t appears from this that, while the
total immigration has increased four
fold over the same period Of last year,
the Italian contingent has not quite
doubled. Even with the arrival in
few days of 1897 Italians. now en-
route. the percentage of Italian to
total immigration shows q marked de.
crease over the corresponding period
OF last year. 1t may be added that of
the 66.290 immigrants from January
to April II, 1896 were classed as
illjterate.
II these figures are accurate, they
indicate fallacy in the comments
lately heard to the effect that the
Abyssinian war was the cause of the
great stimulus to emigration of the
last few months. While a visible in.
crease in that from Italy is noticeable,
1t is also to be observed that some still
more powerful agencies are at work to
stimulate that from other countries.
IL wonid be interesting to: trace these
agencies.
