The Supreme court Of Missouri holds that
telegraph companies are liable for damages
incurred by mistakes made in the trans.
mission Of messages. Thirty years ago the
Missouri court took an opposite position.
The change in the opinion is explained to
be due to the fact that at that time teleg-
rsphy was In a crude state and frequent
mistakes were almost unavoidable. Now,
the court says, telegraphy has been so per.
fected that there Is so little liability Of
making mistakes that the companies should
be made liable for damages incurred by
reason Of their occurrence

The proposition of Mr.. Elwood
Cooper that horticulturists unite and
sell no fruit under paying prices de-
ponds very much upon the action of
Congress in fixing the duties on fruit.
People will buy California fruit at
paying prices, providing that they can
not get foreign fruit at prices that
would not pay in California. The
South of Europe fruit grower of cheap
er labor and cheaper transportation.
Fruit from the Mediterranean can be
landed sin.- Atlantic ports at lower
prices than the California grower can
afford Our market will, therefore, be
limited, in the absence of adequate
protection, to the Pacific coast and
points in the Mississippi valley which
can be reached from this coast as
cheaply as from the Mediterranean.
The convention has outlined a sched-
ule for duties under which the industry
may be made to prosper A duty of 2
cents pound on raisins and Zante
currants is asked for. Olive oil needs
a duty of 81 gallon. Figs ask for 8
cents, prunes and plums 21a cents.
Almonds, 6 cents in the she'll and 10
cents shelled. Oranges. lemons and
lines need duty of 20 cents cubic
foot. Preserved fruit asks for protec-
tion at the rate of 40 per cent ad val
orem. If these duties can be obtained

ports and increase Of home grown fruit.
1t is next to impossible to obtain fg-
ures covering the lemon crop OF Cali
fornia, as the transportation companies
do not segregate the shipments OF
lemons from those of oranges, except
in a very few instances, but report the
movement in pounds of citrus fruit.
From the figures at hand received
from individual shippers and growers
associations, we have estimated the
output of lemons grown in California,
for the crop of 1895, at 55 cars, or
10, 500 boxes. The increase from DOW
on will no doubt prove about double
that of 1895. The value of this indus.
try is shown by looking at the values
given to the receipt Of foreign lemons.
The lemons imported during 1898 were
valued at S.. 6SO,34O, and those of
1894 at 81, 272,113, while for twelve
months ending June 80, 1896, S.. 04O,-
344 worth of lemons entered the United
States.

Our Canned Fruits.

Few people realize what an indus
try has grown upon California during
the past few years in canning fruits
and vegetables, says J. w. Nelson OF
the Hickmott Canning Company. in
the Oakland Enquirer. There are
about twenty-five canneries in the
State and their combined output this
year is over 1,500,0 900 cases. There
are twenty -four cans in a case, making
SO, 900, 900 cans of goods. The aver
age market value of case of fruit OF
vegetables is $2.50, which would repre-.
sent a total value of 1885, 900.
Even these figures will not be fully
appreciated, as people cannot realize
what it all means. The value of tin
plate required to make up these &c.
100000 cans would be 1856, 900, and
the boxes for casing $3.50, 900 more.
The help receive fully $3.50, 900, and
the farmers and ranchers who raise the
75,O0O,0 900 pounds of fruit and vegeta-
bles required to do this amount OF
canning receive sum it would be
difficult to estimate.
The last few years has seen a large
increase in the demand for California
canned goods and this year the orders
from foreign lands are greatly in ex-
cess OF all others. 1t is being discov-
cred abroad that the best American
fruits come from this State, and we
will naturally reap the benefit from
now ON. If the packing industry of
the Pacific Coast, from San Diego to
the Sound, could be thoroughly known
we would find that it is one of the
chief factors in the wealth of the coun-
try

California Lemons.

Growers of citrus fruits in California,
says the California Fruit Grower, are
now giving good share of their atten.
ton TO the cultivation of the lemon.
1t is only within the past few years
that any interest has been manifest in
lemon culture in this State. Within
the past two or three years marked &C.
tivity has been shown and the acreage
has increased very rapidly. Very many
portions Of this great State are espe.
cially adapted to the growth and cul.
ture OF lemons, and thus far, owing to
the remarkably tne yield, the business
has been fairly profitable, and the out.
look is encouraging. Care must be
exercised in selecting location for
lemon grove, as very many failures
have resulted thus far from making
selections, both as to the location of
grove and variety of trees planted.
The consumption and use of lemons is
rapidly increasing in the United States
as will be seen by the statistics of i'm.

Dairying in California.

A bulletin on "Dairying in Califor-
mia, by Prof. E. j. Wickson, NJ. A. !,
of the University of California, has
been issued by the Dairy Division,
Bureau of Animal Industry, of the
United States Department of Agricul-

1t britiey describes the condition of
dairyiug when California contained
only scattered settlements of pioneers,
and shows how the conditions then
prevailing have influenced modern
dairying. The upper coast region is
mentioned as the leading dairy region.
and Humboldt county as the leading
dairy county, having produced almost
100000 pounds of butter in 1892.
The feeds most used in California and
best adapted to that State are dis

values, farm diaries, dairy markets,

New York.-Rose Coghlan expects
to return to London and take her place
ON the stage there, and it may not be
long time before she carries this pur-
pose into execution. She could have
acted the leading woman's role in the
Forthcoming production there of 1.-THE
Pilgrims Progress" at the Olympic
Theater. But that would have made
1T necessary for her to have left for
England two weeks ago. which was
impossible then.
Miss Coghlan is not the only actress
who expects to take this step. Mrs.

Our Fruit in the East.

The marketing of the immense anC
rapidly increasing fruit crops of Cali
fornia is matter of vital importance
to the growers of this State. The
manager Of one of the leading fruit
producing companies of the Pacific
slope, when asked about this subject
by New York Tribune reporter, said:
California is capable of supplying
the markets of the world with most
kinds of fruits. Her yield is simply
enormus and is increasing so fast that
there is considerable apprehension as
to how crops can be advantageously
disposed of in the future.
California fruits are distributed
throughout this country in refrigerator
cars, each of which carries from 20, 600
to $4,000 pounds. The fruits that
come to New York are generally about
ten days ON the road. When the sea-
son is at is height the receipts in New
York city amount to from 80 to 100
carloads. Special trains sometimes run
to carry fruit designed for export.
These trains are SO timed that they
will arrive just before the sailing OF
the transatlantic steamships.
There are from 450, 900 to SOC, 900
acres of land in California under fruit
cultivation. About two.thirds of the
trees are in bearing. Other trees are
constantly being planted and the num-
Der of bearing trees is steadily increas-
ing. The product is increasing faster
than the population of the country,
but the consumption of fruit is becom-
ing more general; and when it is cheap,
and times are good, the demand will
probably more closely approximate the
supply.
The growers must rely upon wider
distribution of crops in the home mar
kets. In order to make such distribu.
ton single carloads of fruit must be
sent to small cities and large towns
where the use of fruit from elsewhere
has been limited. In this way con.
sumption can be greatly stimulated.

Insect Remedies.

The remedies for the orchard scales
consist of washes and emulsions, says
the American Agriculturist. In the
case of the surfy bark louise, the oys-
ter shell bark louise and the peach Le-
canium, the most important of the
scale insects, it will be noticed that
they all hibernate in the egg state,
and their Matching is comparatively
uniform. The date of Matching the
first brood is about the middle of May,
therefore one or two applications of
Kerosene emulsion at most. made about
the first of June, will hold these spe-
cies in check. The kerosene emulsion
is made according to the following
formula-take one-half pound of hard
soap and one gallon of water. and boil
until the soap is dissolved. Now add
two gallons of kerosene and churn with
force pump until it comes to the con-
slstency of thin buttermilk. Then
dilute each gallon of the emulsion With
ten gallons of water. and spray--with
a good machine. The other scales are
subject to different conditions, the
young hatch in the summer aid the
emulsion would have to be very weak
in order not to injure the foliage. So
in these cases a winter wash is ap-
piled. The most satisfactory wash yet
found is whale-oil soap-a pound and
half to two pounds to the gallon of
water. Good whale-oil soap can be
purchased for four cents per pound,
and this mixture has killed every in
sect upon the trees. The time of an.
plication is in the late fall and spring.
