Thin Your Fruit.

The advantages of thinning are man
fold, says Prof. A, J.Cook. 1t is we'll
known that more energy is required
to develop the seeds than any other
part Of the fruit Any one to examine
the seed will notice that its material
is very compact and must require
much nutriment for its full develop
ment. If a tree is permitted to bear a
great many apples, it stands to reason
that far greater number of seeds are
mature, and thus not only is the en-
ergy of the tree depleted, but large
amount of nourishment is taken from
the soil. By judicious and proper
thinning the number of these seeds is
very much lessened and thus we can
serve not only the health and vigor
of the tree, but also the nouriehm
which goes to feed it, Again, as
everyone has observed, if tree bears
very heavily, the fruit will be small
and usually of less flavor. 1t is
equally apparent that small flavorless
fruit never commands high price in
the market. Here, then, is a second
/ "''oheoSO' ~ q SySt6m VI
thinning we secure much finer, larger
fruit and will thus be enabled to sell
our fruit much more easily and secure
a much higher price for it. There is
still another great advantage in wise
thinning out Of fruit Just as it is begin
ming to form. Every observing person
has noticed that many of our fruit
trees only bear alternate years; while
very many others bear much more
heavily every other year. During the
year OF heavy bearing the fruit is apt
to be very small and almost without
value. 1t would be far more profitable
to have moderate crop of splendid
fruit every year. While this may
not be secured by any method in all
cases. yet it may often be secured and
very likely will be if proper pains are
taken to thoroughly thin the young
fruit just as it is beginning to form.
II trees are permitted to bear heavily
whenever they set a full crop the
trees are SO depleted in vigor that they
must rest the following year or they
would soon die outright Thus the
commonly observed fact of "off years.
is simply matter of necessity.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico
says that all existing concessions for
railways granted to the Mexican Ma
tional Construction Company have
been forfeited for non-fulfillment of
the terms of the charters. The COM
pany, however, has one line operating
from Manzanillo, on the Pacific Coast,
to Colima, capital Of the State of the
same nsms. This line, of course, re-
mains in possession of the railway, but
it loses the proposed extension of this
line from Colima to the City of Guada-
lajara.

BIeaebS8e OF Nuts.


The commercial requirement. that

have light and uniform tint, ha 8
caused the process of sulphuring so
generally applied TO drying fruits, to
be applied to them also, says E. W.
Hilgar1. This process, however, is not
only often unsatisfactory, as regards
the result desired. but even the strong.
est paTtisans of fruit sulphuring admit
that almonds and walnuts are frequent
ly injured in their flavor by the need
full prolonged treatment in the sulphur
box. OF cheap and readily procurable
bleaching agents suitable for the pur-
pose, bleaching powder talso called
CHORD Of lime) and bisulphite of lime
used in bleaching sugarcane juices)
are most available. Our experiments
thus far appear to show that the cor
responding soda compounds act more
rapidly and satisfactorily; the soda
chlorin compound is easily obtained
/ from the commercial bleaching powder
by mixing the solution with proper
proportion of sal soda. The bisul-
phite of lime is always obtainable at
New Orleans.
The chloride of lime or soda, used
alone is apt to continue to act for
some time in the shells of almonds,
softening them, and turning them a
whitish and rather sickly tint. besides
retaining a slight mawkish odor. This
can be prevented and bright, natural
color assured by following up with
q dip of the bisulphite, by very light
sulphuring. 1t should of course be
understood that badly stained nuts,
to which pulp of the outer shell ad-
heres, can and should be cleaned
preparatory to bleaching; best in re-
volving drums, either with water
alone or, more effectually, with water
containing from per cent to per
cent of sal soda.
Very satisfactory results have been
obtained by us by operating as follows
The nuts, placed in cane or a spllnt
basket (such as Chinese use for carry
ing) are dipped for about minutes
in a solution containing to every so
} gallons of water pounds of bleaching
J powder and 2 pounds of sal soda.
, They are then rinsed with hose and
after draining, again dipped into an
other solution containing l per cent of
bisulphite of lime; after the nuts have
} assumed the desired tint always rinse
with water and then dry. Instead Of
the second dipping nuts may be sui
phured for 10 or 10 minutes.
, | The cost Of 40 gallons of tho chlorip
dip will be about 40 cents; the same
, bulk of the bisulphite dip, probably
considerably less; the time occupied in
handling one batch q dips, ~ to Is
minutes.

The practical consolidation of the
gas companies of New York city and
Brooklyn has caused sensation in
financial circles. Those who have
been engaged in the effort to amalga-
mate the various corporations have
vigorously denied that the consolida-
zion had been finally settled, but it is
practically completed. The plan of
the companies is to manufacture all
the gas used in Greater New York in
one great plant. which is now the
property of the East River Company.
This plant is located at Ravenswood.
Long Island. The companies con-
cerned. the Consolidated, Standard,
Equitable and East River, have a
total capital stock of $5,6l5, 900, two.
thirds OF which is represented by the
Consolidated and a bonded indebted.
ness Of $l1, 100000. The real estate
along the East river is coDservatively
estimated to be worth $50, 900, 900 and
it is probably worth much more. Ac.
cording to official statements the com.
panies cleared $4.9l5, 600 last year.

feels little pride in seeing them en-
forced-especially those for which he is
largely responsible. For instance he
caused the game law to be amended and
doesn't want to see it violated. no more
than any other good citizen does. He
therefore calls our attention to the fact
that the law provides that :. is unlawful

the creation of some journalistic misht
Of Greater New York, reached our table
this week, the same being sent US by
friend and old time resident Of this
place, J. III. Thornby, now resident OF
that city. The paper is a medley OF
journalistic exaggerations. in line with
the ideas of western pioneer life which
largely prevail in the uniformed circles
@! the effete east, and are simply nause-
ating to all westerners. The wild and
woody, blood curdling and other sensa-
tional features Of the paper will be ac-
cepted in the east as true pictures of
pioneer life in mining camp, but their
extravagant details would stop saw
mill in the west. The paper doubtless
had large sale among the easterners,
for whom it was specially designed. but
among the miners and masses OF the
great and growing west, it's vagaries are
too transparent to attract respectful
attention.

Not so Rosy in KlondIke.

The following facts given in a recent
letter by j. ID. McGillivray, special
klondike correspondent Of the New
York Herald, would indicate that the
mining situation in that far away golden
dreamland is less rosy than it has been
painted in the past. Mr.. McGillivray
says:
Word has been brought to dawson
'hat ths Canadian government, in re-
considering the new mining laws. has
decided to let them stand, and has sent
on men to enforce them and collect the
royalty. No formal protest was sent Nv
the miners while these laws were un.

osiieve that laws so manifestly unfair
and uncalled for would be passed and
put in force. Until copy was received

The Gold commissioner himself, on re-
ceiving the law, pigeon-holed it to await

informed, was on his way with fuller
powers. Now Captain Harper, of the
mounted police, has arrived, bringing.
besides 20 police, surveyors. The ad.
vance guard of the Canadian govern.
ment administrative outfit is now on its
way to enforce the laws and collect the
royalty.
fIhe secretary of the Mine Owners
Association at Dawson estimates that
the mines at FL Dorado Creek would
produce 100000. He says that the
proposed royalty will close them all or
that the owners will do only enourb
work to hold their leases from the govern
