THREE BARNS BURNED.
Blaze Destroys Some North Star
Brewing COmpany's Stock.

The barns of the North Star Brew
ing company, at the foot of CONNER
cal street, were totally destroyed by
fire after o'clock last evening, entail
ing a loss of $1,000. Three buildings
were burned. The fire started in tht
main barn from some unknown cause,
and communicated to carriage shed
and cow stable on either side. Nine
horses were rescued by William Leh-
man and Joseph Metsky, employees,
who discovered the fire. Two carriages
and several sets of harness, together
with a quantity of feed. were de-
stroyed Owing to the work of rescu
ing the stock, the fire had obtained
a good start before an alarm was
turned in, and, when the department
arrived, some difficulty was encoun-
tered on account of the inaccessible
location of the buildings. The loss is
covered by insurance.

Eucalyptus Insecticide.

Nearly all formule that are recon-
mended by scientists, says Major Berry
in the Chronicle, San Francisco, are
remedies for the attacks of pests on our
trees and vines composed largely OF
minerals and generally they are dam
gerously poisonous. 1 have always be-
lieved that applications of poisonous
mineral solutions to trees or vines are
exceedingly harmful and personally I
have refrained from their use. The
remedy used for bugs of all kinds in
furious to trees and vines is d~eooction
of eucalyptus, blue gum leaves bruised
when freshly gathered and soaked in
tepid water and then sprayed on the
tree. vine or vegetable that bugs have
taken possession of-the vinehopper,
the stink bug, on pumpkin and melon
vines, the spotted diabrotics, the cut
worm and all that tribe and ilk will
abandon any foliage where this spray
is used; it is sticky stuff and adheres
quickly. When Fresno county was
making the big fuss about vine hoppers
and Prof. Woodworth was there direct
ing the catching of them in bags had
an attack of wiretapper, but the blue
gum spray effeotualIy put a stop to
their rava2es. I have no scale in my
orchard, but if I did have I'd try the
blue gum spray. 1t is vegetable ap-
piled to vegetable and is not likely to
injure. A spray of mustard wateter
n pound to twenty gallons of war
will kill San Jose scale in the
foliage season.

he could coin every golden orange into
gold that the ambitious tree tries to
bear. The horticultural writers are
turning their attention to this subject
and looking after the cause and seeking
a preventive. when they ought rather
to assist the tree in getting rid of it's
overload, as a doctor relieves the over
loaded stomach of his patient. An
orange tree should never need a prop
bat when it has a burden too heavy to
bear it should be relieved in the same
manner as an overloaded animal stag
gering under a burden too heavy to be
borne. If other practice prevails both
are ruined, in a measure, at least
weakened. Relieve the tree of its ex-
cess of fruit, and the remainder will
be the better for it, and the tree will
not need a rest and its "off years" in
which to recuperate. The Highland
Citrus Belt, while advocating a
study of the means of preventing the
dropping of oranges, combats it's own
ideas and gives the beneficial results of
that dropping in the following para
graph:
"The outlook for a large orange crop
and good prices was never better than
it is today. While the fruit was
forming a great deal fell and many
believed the crop was ruined, but time
has proved this to be a mistake, and
now the general opinion is that the
output will greatly exceed that of last
year."

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.

No Phase of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.
In a defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison, the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
Il have been asked, in print, if /
think that there is no phase of life
which the artist may not touch. Most
certainly 1 think this; more, l know it.
1t is the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks we'll, and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
If the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
eyes, then the fault is that of the com
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilegc. but his duty. 1t was my fate to
encounter a place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir.
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance Of living decent lives.
where they wsre born foredamned to q
criminal or semicriminal career. 1t
was my experience to learn the ways of
this place, to know its inhabitants. to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
For the existence of this place and
for the evils it %engendered the com,
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community was and is
responsible in his degree. If | had been
u rich man, / might have attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way; il l had been a statesman, ]
might have tried another. Being neither
these things, but a simple writer IF
fiction, ! %cndeavored to do my duty by
writing q tale wherein l hoped to bring
the condition Of this place within the
comprehension of others. There are
those who say I should have turned
away my eyes and passed by on the
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of the priest and the Levite
the parable"

Hot SDraying.

Direct or Woodbridge of the Souther
California agricultural experiment sta
ton has issued u bulletin ON the appli-
cation of hot sprays in cleaning citrus
fruits. He says:
AS a result OF q large number of
experiments made by different en-
tomologists under varying conditions,
o unanimous conclusion has been
arrived at, that washes when applied
hot are much more effective than when
applied cold, and ever hot water alone
will kill some varieties Of insect pest.
Many devices have been tried for ap-
plying hot sprays, such, for example,
as heating washes before applying, but
none of them have been heretofore
satisfactory.
The trouble has been to keep the
wash hot and regulate the temperature
of the wash in transferring it through
the orchard, and applying it at an
even temperature. not SO hot as to in
any way injure the tender growth,
and still with sufficient heat to be
effective.
AS a result of considerable expert
menting, an apparatus has now been
devised at a cost which is not prohibi-
tory and which seems to answer every
requirement of the cases, enabling the
spray to be applied at any desired tenn
perature. In a general way the appa-
ratus may be described as a steam
boiler, with a special constructed in
vention of the injector pattern by a
system of connecting up which is at
the same time simple and yet novel.
This apparatus may be made to supply
two, four or even more spraying noz-
zles, each one no less effective than the
other. The whole apparatus is prac-
tically automatic in its operation. and
does not require special skill to oper-
ate it.

Selling Fruit for Drying.

It will doubtless usually pay
orohardists to dry their own fruit,
provided they dry it we'll. says the s.
f. Chronicle. The person who pur-
chases it fresh expects to pay in Cash
for all the labor which the grower
would expend upon it and to make a
profit on his investment. c The grower
can do the same if he pleases. The
buyer may, of course, err in his judg-
ment of the value of the fruit, but in
the long run he will make fewer mis-
takes than the grower. AS a matter
of fact, there is a lot Of money made
every year in buying fresh fruit from
poorly informed growers and drying it.
A great many apricots were pur-
chased this year at IS per ton, and "
less, which means to the grower some-
thing more than the sale of his labor
in harvesting and delivering, but not
enough more to pay for %cultivating and
pruning. if he were to hire that work
done. In buying, the prudent buyer
would estimate a shrinkage of 7 to /,
and 2 cents per pound for curing, pack
ing and loading on cars, and cost of
buying. This would make the cost of
a ton of dried apricots 500 on the cars.
If sold at 8 cents a pound his profit
would be 81 per dry ton, which is
little enough. But 8 cents a pound
is a low price for apricots, and even
with the very large crop of this year is
the price of the lowest grade, or
prime" If the apricots are of fair
size a large portion of the output will
be standard or "choice," and there
is where the profits come in. The
estimate of 3 cents per dry pound for
handling is also a very liberal one, in.
good wages and interest and
depreciation on plant. A good mana.
ger might reduce it 20 pr cent. The
also. even on Royals.
ought not to run to 7 to /, and will
do SO. About 6 to / should
be a fair average one year with an
other. 1t will often be 5T to 1.

why Prunes Split.

TIE Fruit World publishes the fol.
lowing correspondence on this ques-
tion, which is of vast importance to all
prune growers. They are bursting
from sweetness, the concentration of
an unusual amount of sugar, which
will and does make our fruit better
than those grown elsewhere. Ye Han
ford prune growers, don't get alarmed
at nature doing you a good tnrn once
and awhile. Mother earth and a
splendid climate does a whole lot for a
poor fruit grower, bat the sun shines
OH all alike and Hanford prunes will
be sweeter this year than ever, and
will dry heavier if they do split now.
So ''let's'' let the Professors do the
theorizing. Major Berry.
Editor Fruit World: l have con
cluded that the bursting of prunes is
caused by irrigation. Some of the
finest and largest prunes burst open on
the end before they are fully ripe to
dip, consequently are spoiled for mar
ket. Too much water forces them to
grow beyond their usual size, the skin
becoms tender and the summers heat
expands them to the stone. These are
principally found hanging on the out.
side Of the twigs or limbs, receiving
more heat than those shaded. Plums,
in general never require so much mois-
ture as other tree fruit, sufficient
only to keep them in a healthy state.
And the fruit to, grow gradually to u
perfect state with good cultivation,
less irrigation is required, with no
loss to the grower. Depth and variety
of soil must also be taken in considera-
ton; as to quantity of water the grow
er must be his own judge to a great
extent. George T. Rich.
P. S.-Since observing the above
rules, ] have not had any split prunes.

AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR,

State Department. Discussion Over the
Land of a Foreign Gable Line.
Washington, d. C.-Oficials of the
State Department and of the Attorney.
Generals office have been comforting
recently relative to the French cable
which lands at Cape Cod. The cable
was first laid under authority given by
the President. through Secretary
Evarts, in 1879, and recently the
French company has been replacing
this line with a new copper cable.
This met with opposition, and Senator
Frye introduced a bill to prevent the
landing Of cables without the assent of
Congress, while Senator Nelson after.
ward offered another bill leaving the
question with the President. Neither
bill passed Congress. While this was
unde r consideration in the Senate
Committee on Commerce the statement
was made that if the French cable was
landed pending Congressional action a
United States revenue cutter would
cut it.
Through the summer the work on
the cable progressed steadily and in
formation received here indicates that
the last link in the line will be COM
pleted in mid-ocean in about ten days,
although there may be delays owing
to the delicacy of this final operation.
The American connection at Cape
Cod said to have been completed with
the line running into mid -oce
The question before the State De-
partment and Attorney General has
been as to the right to land a cable of
foreign company. There appears to be
much doubt as to law, or whether
there is any law on the subject. The
French company has urged that the
line was a renewal of the old line and
not a new line. They also have pointed
out in a communication to the Senate
Committee on Commerce that the line
was Of a strategic Importance to the
United States, as it is said to be the
only cable which does not pass over
the British territory. What, if any,
action the new Government will take
has not been determined SO far as can
be learned.
