night and sat on rock in his back yard
and sang his love song, or whatever it
is, until Uncle Nate was nearly wild
One night he lay awake and, us he
said, stood it inst as long as he could,
when he got up and taking down the
old gun that was loaded with fox
charge he went to the back door, and,
drawing Il bead ON the rock, which he
could dimly see in the faint starlight,
blazed away. Then, i'll the pleasing
consciousness of good deed well done,
he again sought his couch
In the morning his first care was to
reload the old gun, as there was no tell

this task was finished he started for the

In its report on results with varie-
ties of prunes. the Pacific Tree and
Vine says: Mr.. Pfeffer procured a
tres Of Splendor two years ago OF Nspa
Valley Nursery Co., and set a few
scions cut from the top in vigorous
four ear-old tree. One limb Of the
tree is a strong and vigorous grower
and the prunes began to turn early and
ON August Z were a very dark blue, In
shape rather longer than the petite
prune. In size they we're disappoint-
ing for they only averaged twenty-five
to the pound, or smaller than many OF
the French or petite. The prunes
seemed fully ripe and have firm flesh
and very small, slim seed, which
was quite free In taste they are
sweet, but different from the French.
How they will dry could not, OF
course, be tested with a small sample,
but evidently With but little loss.
The Tenant prune was almost
round in shape but is large fruit,
running about ten and one-half to the
pound and appears more like plum
than prune. The Robe de Sargeants,
brought in by Mr.. Pfeffer, were from
young trees and, contrary to the gen.
eral behavior of that fruit in this val
ley, the yield was perfectly immense,
small branch being literally crowded
with fruit. On this branch the fruit
went twenty to the pound. On an
other branch not quite so crowded the
weight was fifteen to the pound. MI
Pfeffer will have no fault to find with
the bearing if they continue as they
4 have begun.
The Imperial Epineuse went ten Il
the pound, taking ten prunes as al
average, some of them not large. They
were somewhat colored, but not ripe
but had the taste of the petite, the seet
being more free. Their drying quail
ties will be tested on large scale thi
year.

Hemp culture will take prominent

of Butte county, the rich alluv isl soil
of the Feather river bottom having
proved pre-eminently adapted to that
reproducing plant. The 200-acre
hemp field on the d. T. Biggs estate
has been cut, yielding an immense crop
which experts claim is equal in quality
to any grown elsewhere. The atten
tion of New York capitalists having
been called to the article grown there,
brought two prominent hemp manufac-
turers to that place few months ago.
They became interested at once, says a
correspondent of the Sacramnto Bee,
and the result is they purchased the
D. Streeter place of 100 acres. adjoin-
ing the Blggs estate, paying 800 per
acre for it. They will commence the
erection of large two-story residence
shortly, to be occupied by one of the
partners, who will have personal

those interested in the cultivation of
this plant, that they buy or plant none
but homegrown plants, or sow the seed

Eastern States, and it behooves our

There are three plants that do we'll
and are worthy of general trial and
use. The Canadian field pea, the
vigorous wild lupines and the burr
clover. All of them have been tried
aad seem to meet every requirement.
The requisites for such plant are
quick growth. ability to stand slight
frosts and, of course, it must be a
legume, or belong to the bean family
OF plants. The quick growth is neces-
sary, for it must mature or be able to
produce large amount of vegetation
from the time of the first rains, W hen
it is planted, mp to February /, when
it must be plowed under. 1t must
not be permitted to take the soil mois-
ture later than that, and there must
be sufficient moisture in the earth to
produce fermentation and decay. Our
slight frosts, that are liable to come in
January, must . OF destroy our plant,
hence the necessity that it shall be
frost proof Again, our plant must be
one that enters into partnership with
the microbes in the important work of
nutrification of the soil. SO we muse.
perforce, use legume, as no other
plants show the root nodules that make

these requirements.

Location of Trees.

The most prolific cause of failure in
commercial orchard planting is the
lack of good Judgment in the selection
of varieties suited to the soil and loca.
tion, and of the stocks on which the
trees are grown. Specializing is as
important in California orcharding as
ii is anywhere else. In Smyrna the
fig, as grown and cured in the best
manner, Is only success in few iso-
lated spots. Geographically and other.
wise there is but little difference, and
yet it is enough to cause either success
or failure. Apparently the distinction
is sometimes merely typographical
such as a range of hills separating one
small valley from another. One val
ley, however. produces the fig of com.
merce, and the other does not, because
it cannot. So In California. While
we can grow the fig nearly all over the
State, yet how very few spots there
are which are really adapted to its
successful culture. Where this is the
case, no fruit Is more profitable to
raise. Some contend that we have not
the real Smyrna variety. Several
persons have imported into California
and Florida what there is every reason
to believe is the identical variety from
which the finest figs in Smyrna are
| produced. Yet they do not bear fruit
