FumIgating Trees.

Orange growers of Glendora, Azusa,
Covina and the tributary country are
learning the value of fumigation. An
exchange says that in that section
there are nine sets of tents at work.
DIR. Dunn of Pomona is in that part of
Los Angeles county with force of
about twenty men, while an Azusa
man has four outfits continuously at
work at fumigation. OF such import
arce is this matter of fumigating that
in the Glendora country buyers are
paying 10 cents per box more for the
fumigated fruit.
1t would seem that fumigation is
not to be practiced at all times and
seasons with safety. The horticultural
Commissioners lately directed the fumi-
CATION of certain orange orchards at
North Ontario and vicinity. The own
ers had contracted to have these trees
budded during the past month, and in
conjunction with the budding company
sought to have the commissioner delay
operations under his order until the
budding could be accomplished, the
reason of such request being that this
is the only time in the year such bud
ding can be we'll done in new shoots.
The request was ignored, however, and
the fumigating pushed ahead. The
effect of this was to destroy the tree
shoots upon which alone the budding
can be done; not only this, but to ma
terially damage the crop of fruit

smyrna will Grow Here.

In 1880 there W imported from
Smyrna TO this State by g. P. Rixford,
a large number of cuttings of the SO.
called Smyrna fig trees, which were
planted i'll different parts of the State.
Much was expected of this importa.
ton, but none of the trees have borne
any fruit. In the course of time
Professor Gustav Essen of the Acade.
my of Sciences announced the theory
that the Smyrna fig needed the inter
vention of wasp (Blastophoga psenes),
to pollenate the female flowers of the
edible fig tFicus capri. The correct
ness of this theory has received abun-
dant proof in this State. In 1891 Pro-
lessor Eisen and E. W. Maslin, mem
Der of this board, who had large
plantation of Seeding Smyrna figs, dis
covered at Niles, in Alameda county,
a wild fig tree (Ficus capri, growing
on plantation Of figs which grew
from the Rixford cuttings. These
Capri figs contained fully developed
and abundant pollen. The pollen
was transferred by means of quill
toothpick to about fifty figs grow
ing on trees of the Rixford i'm.
portation, which for eight or nine
years had matured no edible fruit.
Every fig so pollenated matured into
an edible fig-sweet, succulent and
bearing (so-called) fertile seed having
the exact favor of the imported Smyr-
ma fig. This experiment was tried in
several succeeding years with like re-
suit.

The California Pear.

The persistence of California ship
pers in face of apparently insuperahle
difficulties has finally been rewarded
by the establishment of a permanent
and reliable market for California pears
in London, says the San Jose Mercury.
The demand having been created, the
prices on all average will probably be
sufficiently high to enable the enter
prising shippers to make reasonabl
profit, although for a considerable
time the experiment was conducted at
loss Thu pears grown in this State
are larger than those with whi,h
France has heretofore been supplying
the English market, and if not abso.
lutely superior in favor and juciness
they are equally as good as the French
product. The California Bartlett, in
fact, has no equal anywhere.
The home market, once it becomes
thoroughly exploited by the fruit
growers of this State, will prove to be
the biggest and the best, nevertheless
every additional outlet for our fruit is
welcomed by the growers. There are
millions of people in the United States
wi have never seen or tasted Cali
fornia pear nor sampled the sun. cured
products OF our orchards. the delicious
and nutritious prunes, apricots and
other dried fruits. In time, when the
fruit.growers have learned that the
way to get business is to go after it,
there will be a market for their fruits
in every city and villsge of every East
ern State, and where one pound 10
now there will b. a demand for
twenty. But at present the growers
appear to be more interested in OPEN
ing up markets abroad than at home,
and if thsir green pears can be sold in
England and their dried fruits in Ham
burg and elsewhere, SO much the better
for them. The greater the quantity of
frnit sold abroad the smaller will be
the stock available for the home mar.
ket, and the better the chances for
keeping prices at profitable figure.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Helpful Suggestions For the
Agriculturists.
HINTS THAT ARE INTERESTING.
some Coed Advice for the RuraIIsts-A
budget OF knowledge That May
Prove Beneficial.


In reply TO question, John Cownie
says the greatest profit can undoubtedly
be secured by beginning the fatoening
process as soon as the calf arrives, with
no let-up until the animal is sold.
With well-bred cattle. the calf intended
for beef should be literally fed from
birth, whether steer or heifer, and
should never feel the pangs of hunger
or thirst. Cattle Of good breeding fed
in this manner will at twenty -four to
thirty moths of age, have both the
necessary size and finish to insure
price close to the top of the market,
but if stunted at that period, forced
feeding afterward will never regain
what has been lost in quality, even
when the weight has been secured.
But, taking the average steer as found
in the corn belt, and to which the in
quiry, no doubt, has reference, the
steer for profitable fattening should
have attained a weight Of 800 to 100
pounds when fattening begins.
A year ago the demand was for
medium weight cattle in only fair
fl esh; now the demand is for heavy
cattle fully fattened, and this class of
steers are scarce and command good
prices. 1t is not so much question of
age as weight that must determine the
time when steers should be placed in
the feed lot, for often the yearling is
better developed than the two-year-old,
this condition depending entirely upon
the breeding and feeding of the ami
NAL. In purchasing steers for the
feed lot, my rule has been to finish
them when three year -olds, but steers
of my own raising 60 with them when
two years old, and in size and quality
are superior to those purchased. Good
breeding and liberal feeding, summer
and winter, will readily gain a year
over three-year-old steer of the aver
age breeding and feeding. With we'll.
bred cattle it will usually be profitable
to fatten it to finish, and this will
require from six to ten months, and
the gain should be about two pounds
daily.

Sulphured Fruit.

have for many years claimed that
fruit injudiciously or over sulphured
has been the chief agent insidiously at
work to check the increase of demand
for our products among the people,
says Leonard Coates. Simply because
it did not taste as we'll as it looked,
Disappointment resulted, and orders
were not duplicated. Scores, nay
thousands of cases, might be cited to
prove this. The dealer of course says
the market demands it, which is very
vague, to say the least, for is not he
the market" The consumer indi-
viduaily may purhase pound of light
colored fruit preference to that
which is darker, but not ON the as
sumption that it is sulphured. He has
been taught by the dealer to believe
that one is clean, the other is dirty,
one is 'evaporated, the other is sun
dried. A lie, nothing more nor less.
don't say revolution can be
brought about in one or in five years,
but 1t may. 1 simply state facts, and
suggest, in the interest of the horticul-
turist who sells cured fruit, that the
endeavor shall be, on the part of both
dealer and grower, to educate the pub
lie to be discriminating as to quality
and flavor, on which basis alone any
article of food can be a continued and
lasting success.

1t is difficult to give directions on
paper how to prune srees, says j. s.
Calkins, but it may be said that olive
trees require annual pruning, which
should be done during winter months
before growth starts; il it is regularly
attended to from the beginning, a knife
and pruning shesrs are all the too Is
required. 1t is important to head back
the top so that the trees will not be-
come too tall to gather the fruit con-
veniently with stepladder, the side
branches will also need more or less
shortening in, and some of the inside
branches should be cut out to let in
sunlight. The fruit is borne OH twigs
of the previous seasons growth, and
the aim should be to have always a
plentiful supply of young bearing
twigs. These are very easily secured
by leaving short stub in cutting off a
branch, from which new ones readily
start. After bearing two or three
crops the little inside branches dry
up, and should be removed, to give
place to fruitful wood. A little sum
mei pruning is necessary to keep off
suckers and to shorten in extra strong
shoots. The practice of allowing olive
trees to grow two OF three years with
out pruning, then removing consid.
cradle portion of the large limbs and
bearing wood is a very bad one. On
rich land, or where trees are too much
irrigated, causing excessive vegetation,
if the strong new growth is shortened
in during summer about one half it
will encourage the formation of fruit
buds and increase fruitfulness the next
season.

Olive Varieties.

All varieties may be divided into
two classes, according to their quail
ties for oil or pickles, says is. Calkins.
1t may be said that all olives make
good pickles, but the dealers prefer
large ones, to please the eye of buyers
and in this respect they are preferable,
thought the demand for California
picked olives, of whatever variety,
is greater than the supply. On the
same tree, of any variety, the olives
will vary in size, and should be graded.
A grader manufactured by Wickson &
Co., Los Angeles, is in use, which
separates the fruit into three or more
different sizes; by it's use the larger
fruit of most varieties could be used
for pickles and the smaller ones made
into oil.
The smaller varieties are preferred
by oil makers, being, as a rule, richer
in oil than the larger sorts and con-
tanning less pulp and water of vegeta-
ton, which is detriment in making
oil.
The Mission is the oldest variety in
Odlltolhld, anu HAS pIuuuCou mOsb u
our oil and picked olives up to the
present time, the other varieties being
of too recent introduction to have pro-
duced much in comparison. The Me-
yadillo and Manzanillo were selected
in Spain by Prof. Pondrof, and i'm
ported into California by him. These
two varieties have been more largely
planted in the State than any others
excepting the Mission. 1t is the belief
of olive experts that the olive tree,
under proper care, is an annual bearer,
and that any irrregularity in bearing
is not inherent in the tree, but may be
due to injudioious pruning or non
pruning, to black scale, and to its ina
bility in scanty or non. bearing years
to adequately fertilize its own flowers,
but these detriments, if present, may
be overcome by the grower if he gives
the same care to his olive orchard that
any other fruit industry requires to
make it successful

features Of the agricultural situation.
ssys the S. F. Call. The Orange Judd
Farmer reports that exhaustive and
far-reaching Investigations into the
condition Of the apple crop leads to
the conclusion that the supply will be
about 81. 4s6 900 bbls. as against TO-
600. 900 bbls. last year and 81 200, 900
bbls. in 1895.
The shortage in the crop of the East
ern States will not be made up in
any other locality. Canada, like the
United States. will have a smaller
crop than last year and the output Of
England and the Continent will be
only fair. 1t is beliyed, moreover,
that much of the European crop is Of
the earlier varieties and will soon be
out Of the way, so that there is likely
to be considerable foreign demand
for American apples
All this, of course, will have its
effect on the fruit market generally.
The Farmer notes, however, that
enormous quantities of Southwestern
fruit, prematurely ripened or positive
ly damaged by reason Of excessive heat
and droutb, have been rushed to mar
ket," and adds. this temporarily
hurts the situation, but the undertone
is one Of confidence, both West and
East.
The farmer will not have TO spend
his time digging his farm from under
the apple crop this year, but he will
perhaps get as much from his short
crop as from the excessive supply be
had in 1896. At any rate, he will get
enough for his whit apples to pay
him for picking them and hauling
them to towr. Anything in the apple
line that isn't frost-bitten has money
in this season.
