Short Notes.

Orange-growers are feeling cheerful
over the fact that $500 carloads have
been shipped out of Southern Califor.
MA this season. and sold at good
prices. Almost the entire crop has
been sent to the East.
The Oroville Mercury says the
Northern citrus belt is the place for
those who desire to make money BY
raising oranges. as there is where they
get tho fine early fruit that sells at
high prices and has never been injured
by frost.
Some people in the orange sections
are budding Seeding and even lemon
trees to grape fruit. Now Is the time
TO convert eli Improbable Seeding
orchard to the popular grape fruit.
Ihey will bear fruit earlier than one
year.old buds.
Heretofore everything except one
part OF the hogs and steers slaughtered
at the Chicago stockyards has been
utilized. A use has now been discov.
cred for this one part. and IL will
hereafter be turned into soap by re.

cherry crop will be very small, and q
considerable quantity Of prunes are
liable 10 drop. In Santa Clara county
there are three sizes on the trees now.
and the two smaller are said to have
been entirely killed. II this be true.
the crop will be only one-ffth Of that
expected.
As to spricots and peaches. it
cannot be said wberber they will
drop or not. A majority Of the
fruit is now at least an inch in diam
eter. and while the greater part ap-
pears 70 have been blistered, there is q
question as to whether the frost
reached the pit or so badly affected
the branches as to cause the fruit to
fall. This will be better determined
within the next three or four days.
1t is safe to say that the apple crop
will be at least one.third short, and
strawberries have been considerably
damaged by the last frost.
"Smudging' has been resorted to

suits. the strong wind in some quar-

poets are for big crop Of hay and

the frosts have done great damage.
On the lower lands the fruit crop is
believed to be practically ruined,
while on the higher levels the effects
Will be felt less severely. Grave fears
are also expressed for the welfare of
the grape crop.
San Benito county reports that there
are splendid prospects for good crops
Of cereals. but the fiuit was ruined by
the late frosts. 1t is estimated that
the fruit crop will be about one-quarter

ward. but recent rains improved the
outlook. Vineyards were hit hard by
the frost.
T'!9 fruit orchards of Alameda
county are now beginning to show
the effects of the late frosts. Al.
though orchardists are not prepared
to state exactly that their crop is a
failure, it is generally conceded that
only about one.third remains on the
trees. There are about 1000 acres
OF wine grapes in the vicinity Of Mis-.
sion San Jose lying upon the hillsides,
and but very few Of them have been
touched by the frost, and the grape
crop will be about as usual. Five
thousand tomato vines within few
miles of this place. as we'll as late
potatoes, ETC., are killed.
In Yolo county the frost has dam.
aged the bean and potato crops consid.
erably. and tender plants, such as
tomatoes. cucumbeIs and sweet pota.
toes. are almost total loss, in spots.
The vineyards are badly damaged.
In Solano county the first reports
were greatly exaggerated and the fruit
men are now modifying thsir esti.
mates of the damage done by the frost
and it is now thought that much Of the
fruit crop will be saved. The yege-
tables are, however, total loss.

Short Crop Of Honey.

Bee men are not at all pleased with
the weather we have had in the last
few weeks. says the Riverside Enter.
prise. 1t is not warm enough for
honey making. and the season of the
orange blossom, the best for honey, is
rapidly passing. Usually the month
OF April is good for the honey business
and during that month some Of the
best honey made is produced. They
report a small storage Of honey up
to date as compared with the record
of last season. The cool weather of
the past month has been set back to
the wild flowers also, and the usual
crop of honey from that source bids
fair to be lighter than usual, unless
there should be decided warming up
of the weather within the next few
days.
The local bee mems association
which was formed here some time
since for the purpose Of procuring sup

the association manage to procure sup

and at the age OF 23 years he entered
the foreign office at st. Petersburg.
where he remained three years.
The emancipation OF the serfs in 1861
wiped out nearly the entire fortune OF
his father. Prince Hilkoff. The blow
was a hard one TO the elder, but the
son received the announcement with
rejoicing. as II allowed him to choose
his vocation. He accepted from the
emperor the appointment OF judge ar
bitrator thus placing him In the posi-
ton OF defending alike the serf and the
! noble. This his father did not like.
and a difference arose between them.
Father and son had talk, and the
Younger man told the older TO give
his inheritance to his younger brother
that he would look out for himself.
He married at this time, and his bride
determined to leave Russian with him
for America. Coming to Philadelphia
he applied for employment TO con-
