Cultivation of Ninleta.

Niolets i'll frames require a great deal
of attention during the dark winter
months, and light and air must be given
on every possible opportunity. 1t does
no harm to leave the frames covered
with snow for couple of days in Sc
we're weather, but great damage is done
If snow is allowed to remain for "a week,
when mold will, spread with alarming
rapidity. Even if sunlight can be adj
mitted for but three hours and little
ventilation given, it is surprising how
the plants are benefited. There are very
few days during the whole winter when
we do not give both light and air. Vic
let's resent cOddling, and air should he
given freely whenever the outside tenn
perature allows If the thermometer
registers several degrees below freezing,
even III midwinter, the sun warns the
frames sufficiently 10 permit moderate
amount Of air being admitted. Violets
in frames make much moro work than
when they are grown in houses, and the
flowers are less convenient to pick, but
the quality Of blooms is as good in all
kinds, and much better in some, par
ticularly the single varieties. The flow
ering season, too, is little longer than
with those grown III artificial heat. -

tions of Europe. Later came the age OF
fruit, and with it we have rushed for
ward until we have glutted the market
by our great productions.
The age of fruit is soon to be fol-
lowed in this State of ours by the age
Of electricity. We find that to the east
of those vast mountains the streams are
being harnessed and their powers con-
veyed by wires to the various portions
of the State, there to set buzzing the
wheels OF industry, and soon through
out this State-for it is long State
with mountains on each side-we Will
find that the transportation will be by
this same mystic chained power brought
from each side of this mighty valley.
To show how rapid the growth of our
State has been, it is only necessary to
relate the fact that some nineteen years
ago the raisin crop amounted to but
two hundred and twenty-Odd pounds.
In the nineteen years it increased SO
rapidly that nineteen million pounds
now find their way into the markets. IN
1873 and 1874 the amount of fruit mar
keted was but 10000 pounds; in nine
teen years it increased to 166.0OO,OOO-
citrus fruit. In the same manner IN
1893, the green fruit Of the State of Cali
fornia was so immense that by calcula-
tions made by the late lamented Mr.
Towne in 1893, it would fill cars 500
miles in length, each car containing ten
tons of fruit-a billion five hundred mil
lion pounds of fruit during that year
was produced.
During ten years we doubled our
manufactured articles. Our increase IN
commerce has been equally rapid, and
to-day as I said awhile ago, we not
oplv have a land of dreams, but we

To contribute to the welfare and
pleasure of others nearly always brings
to the contributor high order of social
recompense. AS God made man, not
for the pleasure of having his worship,
but that such service might develop the
divine in man, 50 the host seeks and
draws to him, as it were, the guest,
hoping that a higher condition of rela-
tionship may be established between
them.
While in behalf of this community
this occasion requires me to speak a
few formal but sincere words OF well

sire to assure you, and to emphasize the
fact, that it is because We hold toward
you all the kindest and best feelings,

those who aid him in our State affairs,

own cup of pleasure.

zens, as old friends and new, join in
