New York.-A Herald dispatch
from La Libertad, Salvador, via Gal
weston. Tex, says: The latest news re-
ceived in this city from Guatemala is
that several engagements have taken
place between the Government and
rebel forces near Queza ltenango and
that each fight has resulted in the
defeat of the Government troops. The
fighting in each instance has been
caused directly by the Governments
efforts to retake Quezaltenango from
the rebels.
General Socorro de Leon, who was
sent by President Barrios into the
fighting district with a large force of
men, has gone over to the revolution
lists. taking all his men. His first act

ture the city of Retailhulen, which he
now holds.

men BY the steamship City of Guate-
mala to Champerico, which port is
now in rebel hands.
The true story of the capture by the

Overland Farm Notes.

At this writing there is no general
agreement between buyers and grow
ers in regard to the prica of hops.
The State Grange meets in Santa
Rosa in October. A full set of officers
is to be chosen, to hold Office during
the next two years.
The Marysville Democrat says that
fully 1000 people have this year been
employed in picking the hops in the
yards near Wheatland.
There has been a good deal of diff
Guilty this year in procuring help for
the fruit harvest. In some places COM
petent help has not been p%rocurable
at all.
A great deal of fruit is evidently
going to waste in Washington and
Oregon for want of facilities 70 pack

to do the work.
Southern exchanges say that dried
fruit buyers are very plenty there.
This is always a sign of anticipated
improvement IN the market. When
fruit is expected to decline it is con.
Shipments that are sought.
Some of the Santa Clara papers are
advocating the formation of a great
fruit trust which shall initiate the
method of the Standard Oil Company,

every town in the country.
The difficulty of thoroughly spraying
trees so that the insecticide shall reach
every insect is so great that in case of
large trees it is almsot impossible.
This is not true of casing OF fumiga-
ton. The gas from its very nature
will search out every. corner and thing
within the tent. This makes fumiga-
ton more efficient and popular with
our orchardists.
All dryers should see that all fruit
is cured perfectly. Last year many
tons were hauled to warehouses and
had to be hauled back again, and some
of it run through an evaporator to save
it. 1t pays better to do it right at first.
Don't let your enthusiasm in having
the prunes dry out only two to one

Prof. A. J. McClatchie is about to
issue a bulletin on milk. We may be
sure, from Prof. MS energy, accuracy
an scientific attainments, that the
bulletin will be very valuable. He
will show how necessary it is for the
dairyman to be very neat and pains
taking in all the operations of the
dairy. This is the most effective way
to fence against offensive microbes.
Prof. McClstohie has visited one
milk man in the vicinity of Los An
geles that makes use Of all the sugges-
itons of science to secure the utmost
neatness. Examination of the milk
from this dairy shows that such pains
bears rich and ample fruit.

resolution:
Whereas, The season for importation
of Mexican oranges into the United
States is Just opening, with indica-
tions of large stocks being sent into
the Middle and Western States, and
Whereas, The existence of the
More.os orange worm in many of the
Mexican oranges endapgers our citrus
industry to a great extenti therefore,
be it
Resolved, That this organization
call upon the railway companies to use
every possible precaution to prevent
the introduction of this dreaded pest
into California by having cars used in
transporting Mexican oranges
thoroughly fumigated after each
shipment; and if any of the oranges
are sent yer their lines into Califor-
MIA due notice of such shipment be
given to the horticultural commission
of the border counties, so that proper
inspection may be made looking to the
discovery Of any pest or insect that
might possibly be contained therein.

In q general order issued recently the
president virtually recognizes tobacco
as an article essential to the we'll being
and sustenance of the soldier in times
of great exertion, as we'll as in times of
peace and routine. The order, which
emanates from the war department.,
reads as follows:
II the authority vested in him
by section TAG, revised statutes, the
president hereby establishes all emer-
geney ration for troops operating for
short periods under circumstances which
require them to depend upon supplies
carried upon their persons. It's compo-!
nent parts are as follows; Bacon, 10
ounces; hard bread, JIG ounces; pea meal,
4 ounces, or an equivalent in approved
material for making soup; coffee, roast,
ed and ground, 3 ounces, or tea, half an
ounce; %saccharin, A grains; salt, "a
ounce; pepper, a ounce; tobacco, half an
ounce
The secretary of war directs that this
emergency ration be resorted to only on
occasions arising in active operations
when the use of the regularly establish
ed ration may be impracticable; that.
although its nutritive qualities permit
its use on half allowance, it will not be
SO used except in cases of overruling ne-
cessity and never for q longer period
than ten days, and that not more than
five days emergency rations be carried
on the person ar one time.
By order of the secretary of war, the
subsistence department. will provide
tough parafin paper for wrapping the
bacon; will furnish hard bread in grease
proof packages the pea meal in cylin-
drical packages, ana the coffee, tea,
saccharin, salt, pepper and tobacco In
suitable packages - Washington Star.

Our Foreign Market.

1t is a great thing to find a market
in which there is no competition, says
the s. f. Chronicle. J. A. Fiicher,
who has been in charge of our exhibit
in Hamburg, reports that we have such
a market In Germany, for all our dried
fruits except prunes. These include
peaches, apricots and peas. We, of
course, dry apples, but presumably
cannot proftably ship them to Ger
many in competition with New York
and New England. There are no
countries in the northern hemisphere
which are ever likely to compete with
us in the three products above men,
toned, unless Southeastern Europe,
u chief competitor in prunes, should
add them to its business. Meantime
we have the market, and it is being
made the most of. We can never sell
dried fruit to Germany at high prices;
at least not in any great quantity.
The Germans are a thrifty, saving peo-
pie, who do not let their appetites run
away with them and who will not buy
dried fruits, however good, unless they
buy them cheaply. But at moderate
the market is sure. We can
deliver dried fruits in Germany
at about 2 cents above their cost here.
In other words, we can now lay down
in Germany "choice" apricots at about
s cents a ponnd or less, and peaches at
a little MORE. In that land of small
and quick returns they should
then retail at about 10 cents a pound.
Probably they do not, as yet, but con.
the price of other foods, our
dried fruits should find an extensive
sale.

The Growing of Celery.

The growing of celery promises to
become an important branch of the
farm industry of Southern California,
says the Los Angeles Times. At pres
emit there are nearly five hundred
acres of celery growing in Orange
county. S. J. Murdoch, one of the
best-known farmers in the peat lands
of Westminster, in Orange county,
gives some interesting information re-
garding the growing of this profitable
crop IN the California Cultivator for
August. Mr.. Murdoch says that while
the ideal celery land is limited, there
is a large area of country that will
grow good celery, with proper cultiva-
ton. 1t requires a rich. cool, moist
soil, the wild celery being found along
bitches OF on low moist land near the
coast.
The seed is sown during March,
April and May, as to season, or early
or late planting. The early.sown seed
requires longer time to get plants
large enough for planting, but if
planted moderately thick and we'll
cared for, makes strong, sturdy plants.
The planting of celery takes place
in about.the middle of June for the
early crop. About twenty thousand
plants can be set out to the acre, but
$4,000 is about the average. The aver
age price, t. o. b. in Santa Ana, is ID
cents per dozen. At this price an acre
of celery would bring $27O. At $50
per acre, the 500 acres in Orange
county should return $125, 900, of
which a large amount goes for labor.
1t is probable that during the next few
years there will be a large increase in
the production of celery in this section.
