THE FIRST RAIN OF THE SEASON.
On the 9th instant the first rain Of the
season greeted this vicinity. 1t was
welcomed like the visit of an old FREUD,
and the heart of the ranchman was jubi-
liant. The trees clapped their hands
and the little hills rejoiced on every side.
The long, bright days and cool nights
of summer are delightful in this favor
ed climate, but the husbandman waits
eagerly for the rain to set in motion the
dormant agencies in nature which
would sip the crystal waters before they
go forth on their varied services in the
soil and the Seed in the bark and the
branch, in the leaf and the bud, in the
flower and the fruit. AS the early
showers waken and refresh these silent
and mysterious forces they seem to sing
as they enter on their joyous mission.
And providence can water the earth.
The work of artificial irrigation involves
q world of toll and expense. Thought
and muscle combined to perfect ar
,rangements which after all are imper-
fect, but the clouds send their treas
ures and every foot of earth and every
leaf in the orchard share in the supply.
We do not have to purchase this out
flow; it is Gods free gift to the thirsty
earth.
Let US hail with thanksgiving the first
rains of the season.
These falling waters also make glad
the hearts of men, as among the noun
tains the fountains and reservoirs are
filled up and stored to supply our fields
and households during the dry season.
Such rains have in them the promise
and the potency of an abundance when
but for them the fields would be arid
and worthless and Southern California
revert to it's old conditions.

Resolving ALFALFA FIELDS.

October is the last opportunity for this
season to resow alfalfa fields that are
too good stand to- Aplow up and yet not
thick enough. I have had good success
sowing seven or eight pounds of seed
per acre and passing a sharp harrow
over 1T. The same thing can be done
with barley, sowing about 100 pounds
per acre, so as to keep down foxtail and
weeds. This will make a good crop of
hay and the alfalfa will still make sew
eral cuttings, or what I call clippings.
The same thing can be done along the
roadsides and patches of vacant land
where you do not want to plow to make
stalking for the cow and horse. The har-
row will not disturb the surface 1t
must all be done before the rains to be
successful.-B. Walton in California

my last seasons experiments with diff
ferent kinds of fertilizers on my ranch
at Glendora:
On January 5, 1896, 1 put on our plot
Of one-Sixth of an acre two pounds of
the Woodbridge orange and lemon fer
tilizer No. /, which contains: Nitrogen,
5 per cent; phosphoric acid 10 per cent;
potash soluble. per cent; suiphate of
iron, 5 per cent.
On another plot of the same size 1
put the same amount of Woodbridge
grape fertilizer, which contains much
larger per cent of potash than the or
ange No. 1.
On another plot used the nitrate of
soda straight, and left the fourth plot
unfertilized.
The four plots were all on the same
quality of soil and received the same care
and water. I found distnguishable
difference in each plot, ranging in or
der from the poorest up-non-f -fertilized
nitrate of soda, grape fertilizer, and or
ange No. l, the latter showing a large
difference over all the others. By a care
full estimate, found that the orange No
produced at least 25 per cent more
fruit than the non-fertilized. The ber-
| rieS were firmer and of better flavor
| The vines showed a much more healthy
and vigorous condition all summer, and
stood the dry season much better than

| coming so that the choice berry is pre-
ferred so much more than the inferior
that the difference in quality alone will
pay cost of fertilizing.

izers is that it tends to breed grubs.

would recommend the using of fertil-
izers about one month earlier than I pu1
mine on last season. While it acts
promptly, yet it gets in it's work better

DOES 1T PAY TO FERTILIZE
STRAWBERRIES?

The question of fertilizing small
fruit is one of much Importance to the
berry men of this part of the state. From
the fact that life in every form must
feed on something, we conclued that if
we can procure food, the cost of which
is less than the amount of increase
resulting from the use of this food,
then the profitable thing to do is to
feed the thing in question proper
quantity of such food.

Major Mckinley, After Weeks Hard

Canton, O., Dec 6.-After week of the hardest work he has experienced for two months, Major Mckinley en- ioyed a day of thorough rest. The weather was fine. The major took a drive with Colonel and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick in the morning and walk in the afternoon. There were no callers of a political character. This evening Major Mckinley was thoroughly rested and in the best of spirits, There will be a good many distinguished visitors at Canton this week.
 Michigan politicians who passed through Canton to-day are authority for the statement that General Alger will be opposed in his own state, and that Mayor Pingree, ex-Senator Palm CT and others may make formal pro- test against his appointment to cab inet position.
 It is stated that influences in Michi- gan that are unfriendly to General AL ger will seek to have Senator Sher- mon, whose opposition to him is a mat ter of history, oppose his confirmation if his name be sent to the senate as a cabinet officer.

STRANGE TALE OF THE DEEP
WRECKED SAILOR FLOATS ON 4
 HATCH TOR 5s HOURS.

Subsisted on Cocoanuts and Oranges Float
 in tho Gulf Stream--startles & Passing
 Steamship by Crying Out for Help-sole Survivor of the Crew of the Schooner Frank M. Moves.
 Savannah, Ga, Dec. 6.-The steam ship Strathcairn, from Swansea, via Delaware Breakwater, arrived yester-
 day having on board shipwreclsed sailor picked up Friday in the Gulf stream, off the coast of North Carolina. The man was the only survivor of the
 Frank M. Moves, a small schooner
 bound from San Andreas Island for Baltimore, with a cargo of fruit. She had gone far to sea on account of the severe storms which were raging along the coast and was in the gulf stream. Captain Cummings was ascending the bridge about 3 o'clock in the afternoon when he heard cries from the sea. On
 close observation he sighted a man clinging to a small object and desper-
 ately waving for help. When within fifty yards of the man, who was cling ing to the hatch of vessel, Captain Cummings ordered his men to lower a boat
 Before it could be let down into the sea the man left his frail preserver and struck out for the ship. Reaching her side he secured a rope that was thrown | him, placed it around his waist and the | sailors drew him on board. As soon | as he reached the steamers deck he fell
 unconscious. After few hours sleep
 he was able to tell the story of his ex- l perience.
 He is a Swede, eighteen years old, namer Eric Stocklasse and was a sea- l man on the schooner Frank M. Moves. i The schooner encountered the storm last Tuesday and was swept for and
 aft by the terrific seas and high winds. l The crew and six was well nigh ex- | hausted in trying to keep the vessel from going to pieces, when on We'd nesday morning at 10 o'clock she cap- sized, throwing everyone on board into
 the sea. Stocklasse and a young man about twenty-one years old, named Ar | thur Cross of Springfield, Mass, seized
 one of the matches which hoated off,
 and chung to it. They saw Captain Asquini and the rest of the crew sink l into the ocean. Fortunately the cast
 away seamen were in the gulf stream, 1 where the water was comparatively
 warm and they were enabled to stand 1 the exposure better than if they had been nearer in-shore, or in the middle
 of the ocean. They drifted northward in the stream and occasionally caught floating orange or cocoanut, which
 sustained life.
 Thursday night, after being in the
 water for forty hours, Cross began to
 show signs of exhaustion and after
 bidding his shipmate goodbye slipped
 from the hatch and was not seen after
 wards. Stocklasse chung to the hatch with bull dog tenacity and was saved
 after being fifty-three hours in the
 water. Stocklasse regained his
 strength rapidly and yesterday was
 able to be about the ship, where he still
 is.

It Was Completed Saturday and Will be
 Given to the Press To-day.
 Washington, Dec. 6-President Cleve- land completed the preparation of the message to congress Saturday. He had a consultation with Secretary Olney in the morning in relation to the treat ment of foreign relations. This portion of the message is always left open till the last, inasmuch as the secretary of state is the only cabinet officer who has not the right of making report direct ly to congress, and at the final moment there may always be a change in our relations with other governments which may necessitate a change in the text of the message.
 The government printer will com- plete the printed copy of the message intended for the press and individual members of congress by tomorrow morning. The two official copies inc tended for formal presentation to the senate and house will be in writing, &C., cording to unfaiing custom. The CODY for the senate will be written by As- sistant Private Secretary Pruden, and the one for the house by Executive Clerk Young, both expert penmen. The prepartion of these manuscript copies is no light task, inasmuch as the present message Is understood to make nearly eighteen thousand words.
