The canned fruit output for the year
is a restricted one, says the California
Fruit Grower. The stock carried over
from the season of 1895 was not large,
though there was great deal of Cali
fornia goods brought over from the
year preceding. The canned goods
shipment from this State to the East
by rail, for the year beginning June,
1895, and ending May, 1896. are as
follows: From San Francisco. 1900
tons; from Oakland, 3l7S tons: from
Sacramento, 555S tons; from San Jose,
6362 tons; from Stockton, 400 tons,
and from Marysville, 1896 tons, or total
OF 1914, 749 cases, weighing 60. 65s,-
600 pounds. The total shipment by
sea during the same period were 4l6,-
DAB cases, making grand total of
l,471,9S cases. This, it should be
remembered, does not include the
amount shipped by 1ail to points west
of the Missouri river, nor the amount
shipped by sea to coast destinations,
nor the amount shipped into interior
cities of the State for home consump-
ton.

Why so many nursery grown trees
die when transplanted is tersely and
truthfully stated in Bulletin No. 90,
of the Oklahoma Experiment Station.
1t says: Among the causes of failure
have been the following: Failure to
prepare the land before trees arrive;
hurried and imperfect planting; high
heads, exposing the body of the tree
to sun-scald and attacks of borers.
Planters are urged to set strong healthy
trees, in well prepared soil, plowed
deep and SUBSIDIZED, first pruning the
roots to one or two inches i'll length,
which will cause them to strike down
deep into the soil. Start the head
fifteen to eighteen inches from the
ground and lean the tree to the south
west. Then the top will shade the
trunk, prevent sun-scald and attacks
of borers. Give frequent and shallow
cultivation to keep in the moisture
which the deeply sub.soiled land has
caught during winter and spring.
Grow only hoed crops, if any, IN a
young orchard, and none at all in an
old one, except peas or clover to be cut
and left to decay on the land.

barrels of American and Canadian fruit
have been sent abroad, while in cor.
responding period last year only 80, 900

tributed to this condition are the poor
crop abroad, the plentiful supply here
at fair prices, and the excellence of the
fruit. Many shippers have sent their
entire crop to the seaboard for the ex-
port trade. and the prices prevailing in

Value of Fruit as Food.

1t is said to be demonstrated, by an
alysis. that fresh figs and raisin grapes
are the most valuable fruits for human
food, says the California Fruit Grower.
Then comes apples, prunes, plums.
apricots, pears and peaches, there being
but little difference in their food value.
Among berries the strawberry is re-
garded as the best food berry. it being
rich IN protein Aside from their
value as food, fruits of nearly all kinds
are OF the greatest medicinal benefit to
the human family. They regulate the
system and enable the digestive organs
to perform their functions more salts
factorily, all of which tends to the
preserving of health and the prolonging
of life.

Green Orange Shipments.

The annual discussion in regard to
the shipment East of green oranges
has begun, says the S. 4. Chronicle.
we do not suppose that any proof of
the injury done to the State and the
industry by the shipment of green
oranges will prevent single box from
going forward. but unless we are much
mistaken there is another circumstance
which will prevent the same person
this year from trying the experiment
more than once, and that is the pres
ence in the market of ripe Jamaica
oranges and the abundance of apples.
When our Eastern friends can buy good
apples for 80 cents barrel, they are
extremely unlikely to pay SO a box for
green oranges. We saw some oranges
the other day said to be ready for ship
ment,an we would as soon eat green
persimmon.

GROVER CLEVELAND.
Kerosene Emnlsinn.

The best formula for kerosene emul.
sion to be used in California is as fol-
lows. says the California Cultivator.
Dissolve is pound of hard soap in
two quarts of water by boiling. As
soon as the soap is dissolved, remove
from the fire and while yet boiling hot,
add one quart of kerosene oil, stir this
most vehemently by the use of au egg
beater. in case only little is needed,
or by the use of force pump in case
a quantity is required, pump the liquid
back into itself. We canont stir suffi.
GENTLY by spoon or stick. A good
emulsion resembles rich cream. The
agitation takes from three to five
minutes, and if sufficiently violent, the
mixture will be permanent, i. e., the
oil will not rise to the top. We add to
this emulsion nine quarts of water.
This will kill young scale, PLAINTIFF
ETC., but will not hurt plants.

Miners Causing Trouble,

Scranton (Pa.) - Several hundred
striking Italian miners are causing
trouble at the Forest Coal Company Is
mine at Archibald. few miles north
OF this city, and excitement there is
intense. Bloodshed was narrowly
averted by the employment of armed
detectives to preserve order. The
Italians objected to the deduction from
their pay of the cost of the employ
ment of expert overseers, who were
keeping watch over the miners to pre-.
vent the robbing of pillars in the
mines. They also opposed the removal
OF coal stored in forty cars in the drift
OF tho mine. The detectives dispersed
the men and made eight arrests.

HINTS THAT ARE INTERESTING.
Some Good Advice for the RuraIlsss-A
Bueget of knowledge That May

Italian Lemons In New York.

The United States consul at Palermo,
Italy, is authority for the statement
that American importers of oranges
and lemons. chiefly New York city
men, have lost during the past year be-
tween two and three millions of dol
lars in unfortunate" dealings with
shippers on the other side, says the CAL
ifornia Fruit Grower. Business is
conducted between the importer and
shipper, peculiarly. Ordinary CONNER
cial methods are reversed. The shipper
writes the New Yorker to the effect
that he has so many boxes of fruit
which will be ready on, or about, a GER
tain date. The importer replies, in
structing the shipper to consign the
lot to him and encloses a draft, or letter
OF credit, which represents sum of
money nearly the value of the con-
slgnment, providing upon arrival it is
up to representation and is in good
order. This is done in order to pro-
vide the Italian shipper with the funds
necessary i'll picking and packing.
The goods, in due time, arrive, although
there have been cases where even this
action IN sequence was lacking. but
ordinarily, the lemons arrive. for it is
upon this fruit that the losses are most.
ly made, and if Ill unsound condition.
or if the standard of grade be below
that which was represented, the loss
falls upon the importer who has adj
vanced the coin. This, in brief, is the
story of the way Italian lemons are
marketed in New York city. If people
persist in buying pigs in pokes, there is
nothing to do but to lose another two
OF three millions of dollars next year,
and to continue the operation indefi-
nitely. A really ludicrous situation
Is found in the assertion of an author
lty ON the matter which in effect says
that the New York men do not want to
lose their trade and yet that the prac-
tees alluded to cannot be given up
without throwing the business into
Boston and Philadelphia hands!

Broke the Record

1t has been common practice. in
times past, when the yield per acre.
OF some well kept and we'll cultivated
farm, seemed phenomenal, to publish
an account of it, and some good re.
cords have been noted. Now, however.
Charles Beckwith of Santa Paula, has
established record on beans that will
stand for many long day unbeaten.
From % acres he gathered and threshed
SCI sacks of cleaned Lima beans. the
sacks averaging 1919 pounds each, or
a trltie over 1921 pounds per acre.
That was doing pretty we'll, especially
when 10 of the 20 acres were in two
and three-year-old apricot trees. If
any other Lima bean grower has
equalled that this year, he has not been
heard from. Mr.. Beckwith can make
better showing than that. He has a
strip OF land 610 feet long by 225 feet
wide, containing a little over three
and one-sixth acres, from which he
harvested 210 sacks of Lima beans,
averaging 793f pounds to the sack,
or l6,6421 = pounds, or about 5,287
pounds to the acre. This beats all
records. and it is presumed that Mr..
Beckwith's competitors will give up
in disgust.

CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE
The President Takes a Hopeful
View of the Nations Condition.
THE WAR CLOUDS DRIFTING AWAY.
His Discussion of the Tariff. the Finan
eiaI Question, Cuban Matters and
Pacific Railroad Debts.

The Presidents message has beef
presented TO Congress. The fact tina
it is Cleveland's last general message
gives it unusual interest. Severa
matters that it was thought he would
discuss at length received little atten
ton. He held that watchfulness but
not active interference was desirable
in the cases Of Armenia and Cuba. HI
believes that the Cuban insurgent.
have not yet proved their claim to BIZ
recognized as belligerents, but that the
Independence of the island will be the
only final settlement of the trouble.
He congratulates the country ON the
peaceful and satisfactory settlement
of the Venezuela trouble and the vic.
tory of arbitration. He insists on the
need of legislation to protect the seals.
He shows that while commerce is in
creasing and population getting larger,
there is deficit Of over $25, 900, 900
during the year in the revenues. The
tariff law, he thinks. has proved a sue
cess, Notwithstanding the decfiit, and
predicts that if given fair trial it
will show balance ON the right side
Money in circulation in the country
amounts to $1,627, 055, ella rate of
$22.6 per capita. He recommends the
retirement of the greenbacks and an
in crease of bank notes,
He believes that there is little danger
of great Japanese immigration.
The army and navy are i'll flourish.
ing condition. Work on coast fortifi-
cation S is progressing favorably. The
naval militia is also becoming more
efficient.
The postoffice shows a deficit of about
SIS, 900, 900, due, it is said, to glaring
abuses i'll the second-class matter
abuses that demand correction.
The Secretary of the Interior has re-
ported that the public lands have
diminished from 1910. 900, 900 acres
to one-third that amount, and the re-
commentator is made that more care
be exercised in its dipsosal The In
dams now number l77,235, of whom
23 900 attend the schools.
lhere are now JiO,blo persons drawing
pensions, the largest list in the history
of the country. Pensions amount to
nearly $40, 900, 000-about one-third
the cost of the Government.
The Agricultural Department has
done good work. Civil service reform
is in satisfactory operation.
The President thinks that the gold
surplus in the Treasury is properly used
in making up the deficit in the rev.
enues. Trusts and monopolies he rc-
cards as dangerous and thinks they
should be controlled by law.
Some attention is paid to the Pacific
abroad debts and the assertion is made
hat unless Congress take the necessary
lotion the President will after January
LIST do what he considers necessary to
protect the Government from loss.
