that the elaborate system Of coast defenses

For the defense of the country in any

Because OF this, however, il is far more
important that Congress should in every
possible way foster the development OF
the National Guard than strengthen the
regular army, according to Gen. Miles
suggestion, though no serious objection can
be made against the latter. Congress has
just begun to show some appreciation OF
the need for lihcrality to the citizen soldier
organizations Of the different States, and
ithas by no means reached the full measure
of equity or wisdom. If it can lie sEowr

addition of 10000 regulars desirable or
necessary, by all means let Congress au

Farm.rs' Institutes

The two Farmers institutes just held
at Ell Cajon and Fallbrook. San Diego
county under the auspices of the Uni
versity of California, and under the i'm
mediate charge of Prof. A. J. Cook of
Pomona college. have been of unusual
interest and value. The largest halls
were secured. and yet they were crowded
from beginning to finish. At El Cajon
many stood during entire sessions, and
at Fallbrook 1t was necessary to adjourn
to the Methodist church. There was
beautiful display of fruit at both places.
Excellent music was rendered and the
question box, conducted by Prof. Cook,
was an important feature of both in
stitutes. Very able local papers were
presented, and such men as Profs.
Wickson and Cook Sessions, Goodwin,
Chamblin, etc, from abroad added to
the rich feast served at each institute.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
at both institutes urging additional sup
port for the university, and that the leg
islature be especially memorialized in
regard to the maintenance of the Farm
ers' Institutes, and a committee ap-
pointed to urge this matter upon our
legislators.
G. w. Hawley of Ell Cajon showed
that deciduous fruits could be success
fully grown without irrigation. Prot
Wickson said that earlier pruning was
becoming popular. This permits the
work before the days are short, before
the winter storms come, and enables
the orchardist to cultivate earlier in the
season. The practice seems to be salts
factory in every way. 1t is also urged
that in heading the tree three or four
branches be left separated by some inch
es so as to avoid crotches and danger of
breaking. Mr.. Goodwin of Los Angeles
explained the Importance of a balanced
ration, and showed how it could be Sc
cured. Mr.. c. H. Session described his
dairy. He urged the Importance of neat
ness, regularity and good food. Mr..
Calkins gave directions for culture of
the olive, advised as to varieties. and
showed that this fruit had a great fu-
ture before it for Southern California

Wickso1 graphically explained how
greatly we are indebted to semi-tropical
regions for tree plants and fruits Mr..
Cammach of Whittier also gave very
valuable paper on semi-tropical fruits,
which was greatly appreciated and which
will be given at the institutes in Los
Angeles county next week. M. l.. Ward
Of Chula Vista spoke eloQuently for vii
lage improvement associations. Which
emphasized Prof. Cooks address on
farmers clubs. A club was organized
at both places. Prof. Cook said that

the life history Of several scale insects,

with practical suggestions as to rem
edies. Beneficial insects were also treat
ed, and good reasons offered for hope
because of them. We should not yet
despond regarding the rhizobii. Mr..
Chamblin of Riverside spoke, as he al
ways does, most persuasively regarding
the value of fruit exchanges. His ad-
dress will probably bear fruit at each
place. Mr.. Dondors showed that an
hour each week would supply the fam
lily with all the fruits and vegetables In
their season, and would enable the young

Its taste surpasses that of every other
fruit, and Hoenke was quite right when
he called 1t "the masterpiece of ma
ture.'
OF course, not every one will like it
so well. If it has fault, I would almost
say 1t is too rich; with me it quickly
surfeits. But one forgives fault of this
kind when he must confess it lies with
the faster and not with the thing tast-

Fertilizers

Fertilizers
paper read by f. X. Benchley before the
Farmers Institute at Fullerton)
One of the most important, in fact
the most important, question after III
yigation to the farmer and Iruit grower
is that of fertilization; as important to
them as the question of fuel to the man
ufacturer. The sooner they recognize
this expense as an absolute necessity
towards the cost of production, the
greater will be their returns. We feed
our animals to make them grow and
produce results In the same way we
must feed our orchards if we expect
satisfactory and paying returns. None,
1 am satisfied, will differ with me on
this question.
What we all wish to know is when
and how to feed so as to gain the most
for the money expended and get the
greatest benefits. To me the only and
most satisfactory way for us is to have
small test plots, that Is, try different
manures and fertilizers on different
plots, and watch carefully the results.
Those proving the most satisfactory are
the ones for us to follow. If we find an
application of horse manure, mixed
with q certain amount of phosphoric
acid. potash or nitrogen, or some other
combination, to be the best, then with
out doubt this will be the mixture for
us to follow and stick to. 1 believe IL
would be a good plan for three or four
fruit growers in the same neighborhood
where the soil and conditions are the
same, to have test plots, sharing the ex-
penses. In this way results could be OBJ
tanned at small cost to each.
Again, say this seems to me the only
safe and sure way for us to find out Just
what should be used.
In the farmers bulletin, No. 81, writ :.
ten by w. H. Beal, an estimate is made
showing the value of the horse manure
of the United States for one year to be
$432, 900; of cattle, $1,O07, ,OOO,OOO of
sheep, $90,0000O0. There is not enough
coin, gold and silver in the United
States to pay for the manure produced
by Its cattle in one year. 1t is safe to
say that more than one-half this ma
nure is lost from waste and improper
care. Now, with such waste how can
we hope to succeed? With such figures
staring us in the face do you not think
we should read up and endeavor to saw,
all of this valuable article? Even haa
l time, 1t Is unnecessary for me to try
to tell you how to save this great fer
tilizer. Our government has for years
in telling us just what to do, and now
that this is all published and free to
all for the asking, we certainly should
read up these instructions and follow
them. I refer to farmers bulletin No.
Il, and the year book of the department
of agriculture for 1894.
Let each farmer and fruit grower send
for these works. study them and be in
a position to think and speak for him
self on this, the most important subject
to us ALL

Irrigation and Dropping of Fruit

(Read at Farmers Institute by Mr.. Mes.
serve. Pomona)
At the outset wish to state my belief
that the application Of irrigating water
to trees in the spring. or at any other
time. does not alone necessarily insure
heavy crop for the succeeding sea SON.
1t may be trite. but none the less true
that any plant in good, healthy growing
condition is better able to withstand an
attack OF pests or any abnormal condi-
ton of weather, or other outside in
huence. I have seen a large healthy
orange tree of eight years, completely
sirdled by gophers for fourteen inches.
not particle Of bark being left, yet by
covering them with moist dirt and flood
ing with water new bark was formed
and the tree went through, carrying full
crop OF, fruit with no apparent injury.
1t may be said this was due to the treat
ment after the injury. but I have seen
the same treatment fail with other trees
not so badly injured.
In the dropping of oranges during the
past spring I have taken some pains to
inquire as to it's real cause. AS a rule
the growers ascribe 1t entirely to the
hot winds. And 1t is doubtless true that
the extremely hot weather following the
