With the onward trend of CONNER

who produces fruit at profit has
learned from experience certain things
that are as essential to success as is

Intensive culture means something

waiting the soil, and harvesting the
crop. 1t means the application for

of the business, and in no direction is
this more essential than in keeping
fruit and tree free from insect pests
and disease, and in thinning out the
fruit in order to enable the tree to
perfect only a choice quality. The
suppression and, in SO far as possible,
the eradication of injurious insects and
disease is as much necessity TO the
profitable production of salable fruit
as any other department for orchard
work. This fact is we'll established, as
those who observe it make their
orchards the most profitable, while the
grower of prime quality of orchard

thinning out of the fruit-always CON-

Keen Your Eggs Fresh.

A French naturalist has been expert
menting on eggs with view to dis
covering means for keeping them
fresh for long period, and he assures
us that he has Matched chickens from
eggs kept for over two years by this
process, says the Southern California
Farmer. His method is simple, and
consists in dissolving some gum lilac in
sufficient qantity of alcohol to
make glaze. Into this each egg is
dipped, and when they are completely
dry they are packed in bran or saw
dust, taking care to place ths large
end upward.
When the eggs are wanted, the glazt
must be carefully removed with some
alcohol, and they will be found in the
same state as when they were envel
loped. The rationale of this process
consists in intercepting the air an'
preventing it penetrating the she'll.

Cure for wooliy Aphis.

People have inquired as to the course
to pursue with woolly aphis, says Pa
cific Tree and Vine. This may be
plainly seen at this time of year above
ground in places where limb has been
cut away or piece of bark knocked
off and new and tender bark has grown.
When very bad it appears on the small
branches all over the tree. For this
above ground form the resin wash for
aphis is sure death to them. If only a
small number of trees are to be
treated, whale oil soap solution may be
used. as strong as a pound to two gal.
Ions of water ON the trunk of the tree
and large limbs, and or gallons to
the pound of soap where the solution
will come in contact with leaves OF

How to pick Out Hens,

The most active hens in the flock are
usually the best layers, says Farm
News The hen who stands ready to
run out of the house in the morning as
soon as the door opens and flies at the
feed as if she were starving is the one
that will produce the most eggs, COM
monty. Such hen will not stand
around in the sun after eating her
morning feed, but will be seen far
away from the house foraging for food.
She is the hen that sings as she goes
about, and is the one who will find her
way into the garden if she can possibly
get there.
A large comb is sign of good
layer. By this is meant large comb
for the brood she belongs to. Almost
invariably, the Leghorn hen that has
large, thin comb that droops down
over one eye, will be found to be q
very good layer. The comb of goot
layer is of bright red all the time she
is laying, and as soon as it becomes
pale or dark-colored, you may be SURF
she has ceased to lay.

Yuma claims the credit of shipping
the first figs of the season to San Fran

The directors of the Lemon Associa-
ton at Glendora, Cal. have decided to
levy an assessment upon the stock
holders to create fund for the erection
of curing house at Covina.
When the breeding season is over it
is well to separate the hens and roos-
ters if it can be doneIwithout too much
expense. They both invariably go
through the moulting season in better
condition.
Wine grapes are being contracted for
in some of the more northern counties
at the rate of $25 per ton. AT this rate
there is as much clear money in one
acre Of grapes as there is in four acres
of wheat, yielding an average crop,
and selling at cent pound.
To detect butterine or oleomargsrine,
place the suspected article between
two pieces of window glass and hold ii

Plant More olive Trees.

j. T. Reedley, of Eldora, Hardin
county, Iowa, has written to the State
Board of Trade to inquire about the
olive industry and gain information
for number of people who are anx-
ious to come to California. Secretary
Filcher mailed him some literature
bearing on the subject, and added the
statement that in 1896 three countries
in southern Europe produced $50, 0OO,-
900 gallons of olive oil, while Califor-
MIA produced only $1,000 gallons. As
California can produce as good olive
oil as any in the world and as cheaply,
and as there are hundreds of thousands
of acres of olive land to be had at low
prices, there is fine opportunity for
people with intelligence and little
money to help develop the olive indus
try in this State.

Many fruit growers and farmers con-
found the ~ spotted Diabrotica with the
lady bird. This should be avoided, as
the lady bird is harmless and more or
less useful in Kidding the orchard of
scale insects, while the Diabrotica de-
stroys thousands of dollars worth of
vines annually in the United States.
A description of the latter may be of
some value. 1t is always of yellow
ish green color with twelve black spots,
excepting in the case of the cucumber
beetle (Diabrotica-vittata which has
three broad black stripes. The lady
birds are rounder in shape and usually
red with black spots.

ontario's citrus Output.

The orange shipping season closed at
Ontario last week. The total output
has fallen below estimates made early
in the season by about 10 per cent.
The returns have been very satisfac-
tory, however, and the growers are
not complaining. There were shipped
for the season III, 1874 boxes of oranges
and 17,757 boxes of lemons. The
lemon season has just opened and a
brisk demand is anticipated. Ontario
ships annually more lemons than any
other point in the United Suites. The
output was 5000 boxes last year and
these figures will be materially in
creased this season. Dried-fruit ship
ments will reach nearly 100000
pounds and the green-fruit shipments
will be about fifth of that amount.

Future of the Olive.

An encouraging indication to the
olive grower is the increasing popular
ity of the olive in the Eastern States.
Orders have increased materially from
some of the old, conservative grocery
houses of the East. The California
supply is not equal to the present con-
sumption, as statistics show that the
people of the United States imported
between three and four million dollars
worth of hard green olives from the
Mediterranean shores in the year that
ended June 80, 1895. This does not
include the $1,000, 900 that was spent
for imported olive oils.

Camphor Growing.

The growing of camphor in South
California should be largely expert
mented with in different localities, says
the Redlands Citograph. The price of
gum camphor is advancing at an
alarming rate, and places favorable to
the vigorous growth of the camphor
tree should thrive in many places in
South California, and little expert
mentation will find out the proper loca-
tions. Try few camphor trees and
see how they will grow.

San Diego PineappIes.

While most of the pineappes sold in
the United States have within recent
years come from Cuba, the cultivation
of this fruit in Florida has rapidly in
creased, and last year $4,000 crates
were shipped from sections of that State
other than the Keys. The output from
the central and northern parts of the
State this year is estimated at $4,000
crates, while but for the damage to

counted upon for the next few months.

Mother and Murderer Both Dead, and

All Hope of Recovery-The Husband
Frustrated.
CENTERvILLE, Ia, Feb. 14.-Mrs. W.
j. Martin and her daughter, Lea Mar
tin, aged %, were killed at their home
in the suburbs of this town at 6 o'clock
last evening by George Jones, who
afterward killed himself. There is
mystery surrounding the affair. Jones
had been for a long time a lover of the
girl. Both are of good families and
there was no reason for the belief they
had trouble.
Last evening Jones went out to the
home of the Martins and wa last seen
as he left the street car. Half an hour
later the tragedy occurred. There
was nobody in the house when Jones
went there, but the girl and her
mother. The five shots hat were fired

Martin and her daughter lying on the
floor of the parlOr, Mrs. Martin dead

hole in her neck and was bleeding pro-
fusely. The mother was shot in the
forehead and also in the breast, and
had been killed instantly by the shot
in the head.
Jones appears to have gone to the
house, and after shooting the two
IN went outside, crossing the
street, and shot himself before the
neighbOrs came. He fired a bullet
from his 3S-caliber revolver into his
brain and died instantly. When he
was found his heart had hardly ceased
beating.
Lea is still alive, but losing strength
fast, and cannot possibly live. Every
effort has been made to bring her back
to consciousness, so hat she might
tell something of the tragedy, but it
will avail nothing.
W. j. Martin, husband and father of
the two women, is 4 doctor and cor
oner of AppanOose county. He had
no family except daughter and wife.
and was away from home when the
tragedy occurred. He is FRUSTRATED by
the shock and very sick, although not
in danger.
