OF course, a hundred or more have
struck it rich in mining, among whom
the most prominent are Messrs. Strait

they are millionaires.
In this little city, whence + write,

two banks, public schools, theaters,
four newspapers, two dailies and two

heaven knows how many saloons The
streets are broad and we'll paved, while
the sidewalks are filled with strong

the adventurous class who follow in
the wake Of every new excitement, and
have no desire to work. 1t is pitiful

The Almond.


publication of the Division of Pomology
of the United States Department Of Az
riculture:
There is no apparent reason why the
culture of the almond should not be
pursued to a profitable extent in the
warm climate of the southern states.
Especially in the valleys of the Ohio and
Tennessee it would be likely to succeed
admirably.
CULTURE.
The essential factors of successful all
mond culture in California, as judged
from our reports, would seem to be I'M
their order of relative Importance: Trust
worthy varieties, suitable climate, with
proper slope or exposure, well-drained
soil, and good culture.
Selection of varieties-For profit the
varieties planted should be reliable AM
rnud troopers under normal climatic
condikions. They should hull easily and
should have clean, thin, soft shells, with
smooth, bright, plump kernels Nuts
with long single kernels are preferred I'd
those with double or triple ones by cont
Petitioners, whose purchases of these
nuts have marked effect on the market
demand and price. They pay most foR
nuts with perfectly smooth, plump kerr
,nels, the size Of nut being Of secondary
Importance. 1t is for this reason that
the old Lsnguedoc variety is less sought
for in the markets than the newer Cali.
fornia sorts.
Climate and Exposure-After wide
spread trial of the Languedoc and other
old varieties it has been found that they
only succeed in the mild climate of So
noma, Solano, Alameda, and Santa
Clara counties, far enough removed from
salt water to be out of the fog belt and on
bench OF hillside situations, avoiding low
lands and small valleys. This region
can be considered as possessing the best
climate for the almond yet found in this
country. The fact that the newer vari-
cites are found to succeed, over a much
wider range, including orchard sites
where the old varieties have utterly
failed, and extending to portions of Ari"
IONA, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and
southwestern Texas, indicates that the
range of probable profitable growth of
the almond is much broader than has
been for some time supposed.
In Soma SectionS q northern EXPOSURE
or table-land is preferred, and south
ern or southeastern exposure is 10 be
avoided, on account Of the earlier bloom
ing in the latter locations, and conse-
quent danger from spring frosts. Many
growers, however, in reporting on this
point, regard it as of little Importance
If proper varieties are planted.
Soil-The soil should be light, warm,
and well drained, the majority of grow
ers preferring sand or gravel, though a
few reports indicate good results on
adobe, clay and black waxy land. The
almond grows native in Syria
and northern Africa in very dry and
stony locations, and is perhaps capable
of enduring greater drouth than any
other of our cultivated fruit trees. But
large and profitable crops are only Sc
cured from orchards on good soils. In
dry warm climate where water for irri-

treating seed for planting is by ordinary
,stratification either in sand or sawdust
Ordinary nursery culture suff1oes, ant
shield budding is found satisfactory, the
process being identical with that useC
on the peach. The most uniform stand
of trees is secured by budding close tt
the ground. The northwest side Of thu
stock is preferred for the insertion O
the bud because less exposed to the sum:
rays.
THE ORCHARD.
Trees should be removed from nursery
to orchard at the earliest practicable
age. Mr., Hatch reports his best SUGGEST
to be with dormant buds, although
greater care is necessary with these than
with trees that are one year old from the
bud when transplanted. Before plant
ing the trees the land should be we'll
plowed and narrowed as for hoed crop.
Trees should be at least twenty-four feet
apart each way on strong land. The
rows may be lined out to moderate
depth with a two-horse pillow, the inter
sections where the trees are to be set
being determined by running cross fur
rows just ahead Of the planting in order
that the soil may be freshly turned
when the trees are planted. 1t is safe
rule to set the trees about one inch
deeper than they stood in the nursery.
If dormant buds are planted the ground
should not be filed in above the bud until
it mas grown to the height Of a few in
ches. In all cases the roots should be
we'll spread and fine surface soil should
be we'll distributed between and above
them and be securely tirmed down to
prevent drying out. The orchard cul-
ture needs to be thorough for the best
results, but should be shallow close to
newly set trees as we'll as in older or
chards. Carelessness in regard to this
important point often causes irregular
and broken orchards. The orchard
rows should be perfectly straight and at
equal distances apart, as time is thereby
saved in cultlvating the orchard, and
much accidental injury to the trees
avoided.
Pruning at planting time is similar to
that of the peach, the tree being cut
back to straight stem and the side
branches to single bud. Webster Treat
cuts back his transplanted trees to one
foot from the ground and forms the
head of three branches grown from that
point. This secures larger proportion
of bearing wood and tends to keep it
nearer the ground.
Never shorten in as with the peach
and apricot, for the almond like the
prune, bears most Of its fruit on the long
slender outer branches and the shorter
fruit spurs on the inside of the tree.
These inside 5wigs will not die out as in
the peach and apricot, but live and get
more stubby and strong, bearing al
monds every year. During the first three
years enough pruning is done to shape
the trees, and afterwards only to remove
Objectionable branches.
Summer pruning is to be avoided.
1t has been found true with the Ian.
guedoc, and is suspected in the case OF
some other varieties, that the fruitful
ness is much increased by planting inter
