ica's history have so many Glasses of
men shared in the prospects Of pros.
perity in this industry as in the pres
ent; as the farmer, the rsnchman and
the breeder are all likely 10 partici-
pate in it.
In February. 1867, the United
States had 80. 1856, 1856 head of sheep;
January, 1897, there were about &c.
Sls.643. Thirty years ago the United
States had more sheep than she has
today. Since 1872 the number of
sheep increased until il reached the
highest point in our history, namely,
80, ,626 in 1884. and since that
year the reduction has been almost
uniform.
In 1867 we had more sheep than we
have now, and only about one-half of
the population. at that time the pop
ulation OF the United States was about
80, zoo, 900, and today it may be esti-
mated to be 10000, 900. And all these
people are eating mutton today to
greater extent than ever before. Nut
ton is now required article of food
among the American people, and they
demand it. This population is a
fixture to be fed, and the sheep and
the lambs are in demand for this pur-
pose.

Citrus Pruning.

Young citrus trees need but little
pruning at this time, except to keep off
all suckers and young shoots that may
from time to time put out on the
trunk lower down than is desirable.
says Jas. Boyd. Ideas on low or
high heading differ very materially,
whether the orchardist lives toward the
coast or in the interior. Inland,
two to thres and half feet is the
rule. while near the coast half that
length to the first branches is the
usual custom. Each must be governed
by experience. Where water is rather
scarce, shade close to the ground con-
duces to the conservation of moisture,
and also keeps the ground from the
fierce rays of the midsummer sun.
Where water is plenty the soil can be
kept in fully as good condition by
irrigation and cultivation. Old trees
can be pruned when necessary during
the latter part of June and not feel
the shock very much, and indeed
warm weather is the only time when
pruning of citrus trees is to be com.
mended, but should not be DELAYED
much beyond the first of July in order
to give the trees chance to get yigor.
GUS before cold weather comes again.
Planting of orange trees can still be
done, and quite seasonable, but the
sooner the better, as the young trees
are apt to be dormant in the best part
OF the growing season and not get as
mature growth as when planted
earlier.

$50, 900 assessment on stockholders has
been nearly all paid up, the stock
holders themselves bidding in the as
sets of the bank at receivers sale at
500, 900.
At last a satisfactory settlement has
been made by the Puget Sound Ma.
tional Bank of Everett, Wash, with
the county. The bank paid over to
the county s5037.90 in cash, and
turned over a burglar-proof safe and
the bank fixtures to the county, valued
at $245O. This makes a total of
$74S7. 80, which was accepted in settle
ment of claim of s12, 4s7.30. This
releases the bondsmen of the bank
from all liability.
The point as to whether one county
can sue another has been decided by
the Supreme Court at San Francisco
in an action brought by Colusa county
against Glenn county to recover 81,
622.72, alleged to have been wrong
fully withheld at the time the new
county CT Glenn was created. The
court upheld Section of the County
Government Act, which declares
that county has the right to sue and
be sued.

greSs all over the world. and finally
going down with her to a lonely grave
at the bottom of the sea, or surviving
her as cherished souvenir of her ex.
istence and achievements. On a man
of-War the bell is usually inscribed
with her name and the date Of her
launching; and as IL is probable that II
may some day become a memento of
a glorious history. the bell is often the
subject Of special care in casting or Sc
lection. Sometimes the hundreds or
Workmen who have built the great
ship contribute each a silver coin TO be
melted and nodded into a bell which
snail be the token of their love for the
object OF their creation and their in
terest In her future career. Often the
people OF the city or State after which
man-of-war is named may present to
her magnificent bell appropriately
ornamented and Inscribed with words
Of goodwill and good wishes. Such a
bell Is usually presented with cere-
mony after the ship goes into COM
mission.
Ships bells In general are made Of
bronze, like other bells The addition
OF silver in their composition gives
them peculiarly clear and musical
tone. They are placed in such a posi-
ton on the upper deck that they may
De heard from one end of the ship to
the other; and are usually near the
malnmast or at the break of the fore
castle. One peculiarly exists In a
ships bell which is necessary on ac-
count of her motion at sea- The tongue
is hung so that 1t can swing In only
one direction. If II were not so the
bell would be continually ringing as
the ship rolled and pitched. The direc-
non In which the tongue can swing Is
another important point. If it were
athwartships the bell would ring at
every heavy roll of the ship: and IL IL
We're fore and aft the bell would ring
at every deep pitch; so the direction in
which the tongue can swing is nearly
half way around between these two.

Fig Drying and Packing.

Dried figs are greatly benefited by
being sweated or equalized as regards
moisture, says DIR. Gustav Eisen.
This is accomplished by placing them
in sweat boxes holding 70 pounds or
more. The boxes are stacked ND one
across another in such way as to in
sure free circulation of air, This is
to prevent the sour fermentation.
which spoils the figs. The room where
the sweat boxes are stored should be
closed and the walls should preferably
be OF brick. Daily examination of the
contents of the boxes should be made,
so that any inclination of the fruit to
Torment and heat may be detected. In
few days an improvement in the tex
ture of the figs will be noticed, the
overdried ones having attracted moist.
ure from those that were underlined
and all having become more pliable.
Where figs can not be dried in the
open air, evaporators or driers, artifi-
cially heated, may be used to advan.
tage, Just as in the drying and curing
OF raisins. Large driers are expensive
and are beyond the reach of many
growers, but small driers, holding a
ton of fruit, may be built cheaply. It
may be safely stated, however, that
localities where artificial drying is
necessary are not suited to the most
profitable production of commercial
figs, as any extra handling will greatly
increase the cost of the product.
Where very superior article is pro-
duced the occasional use of the drier
may be profitable, in order to save a
crop that would otherwise be injured
by Indictment weather.
The method of packing dried figs
and the kind of package used should
vary according to the quality of the
finished product. They should be
packed in order to prevent drying out,
as well as to make them present an
attractive appearance. It pays to
pack the best grades we'll, for good
always enhances the value
of fruit.
