LeavenwOrth is in her gala attire
this week to receive the veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic from
Kansas and their visitors from the adj
jacent states. There is no place in
the west where the citizen soldiers will
be better cared for than in this beau
tiful city, where one of the most at
tractive post of the U. S. A. is estab-
lished. Leavenworth fairly divides
with lovely San Antonio the distinction
of having the finest military post in
the United States.

The scare is about over as to the de-
ficiencies of returned revenue under
the Dingley bill. The later returns
and the steady increase of revenues
show that the weeks Immediately fol-
lowing the operations of the law were
not normal. The large influx of inn
portation under the low tariff just
preceding the passage of the bill over
stocked the American market for a
time and cut off imports to a marked
degree. That overplus is about abb
sorbed and the revenues are increased
rapidly. 1t will not be long before
there will be more income than out
come for Uncle Sam.

There is nothing left for San Antonio
but to have patience and wait until the
storm sweeps by. If we have to suf-
fer occasionally because we are near
the gulf coast we make it up at other
times. Our own people know that
yellow fever is practically an unknown
disease in this section. Climate in
fiuences are against it and it is not in
fectious, nor will it spread in this val
ley.

The Old plan of Burying In Trenches
No LOuger i'm Use,


The Old plan of burying, or putting
cabbage in trenches during winter. or
for winter use, has become obsolete,
and a mor simple and easy plan has
been adopted. Where cabbage Is grown
on a large scale for shipping purposes,
the best plan is to lift the cabbage and
stack them w tiers deep and asclosely
as they can be placed in an orchard. or
wood If convenient, and cover with
leaves to the depth of two or three
inches, the leaves to be kept in place by
a slight covering of earth. In this way
the heads will keep perfectly sound all
winter. and they can be easily taken up
as wanted for shipping.
For family use cabbages can be kept
In the same way, only il win not be
necessary to make the second layer. It
is quite important TO keep them a little
below the freezing point. It has been
suggested to keep them in some con-
venient building. but this plan has al
ways resulted in failure, as the dry at.
mosphere is fatal; cabbage must be
kept moist and coCl. the slightest wilt
ing renders it unfit for the table,

Miss Madeline made a quick dive into

MILLIONS IN PRUNES.
Magnitude of one of C~niifGrutn's
newest Industries.


The magnitude of the pruue industry
of California. writes a Los Angeles cor.
respondent of the Chicago Record, is
little realized by the people of the east
ern states. In Il decade the growing OF
prunes has gone forward in California
by leaps and bounds, and to-day $50
100000 is invested in it--that Is, in
lands, trees, irrigation systems, agri,
cultural tools and packing houses. Not.
w~ithstanding damaging frosts last
spring throughout the lower part Of the
San Joaquin valley, and all over the
horticultural valleys of Pomona, San
Gabriel and Santa Ana. the total prod
uct of green prunes now on the trees
in this state is estimated at $4,000 tons.
Of this quantity about one-tifth will
be shipped east as green fruit, for sale
Mt fruit stands and for canning pur.
poses; the remaining four-ifths will be
dried for market, making about $4,000
tons of dried prunes.
Ten years ago the total area of bear
ing prune orchards in California was
less than 1000 acres. in 1858 there
were II 900 acres of bearing prunS trees
and about 5000 acres more of younr
prune orchards. There was an imb7r;
duty of 2H GENTS a pound on dried
prunes in those days, and the growers
sold their crops on the trees for sums.
varying from $35 to $50 a ton. In 1896
the total area of bearing prIneorchards
was $4,000 acres. and there was an
enormous planting of prune trees that
year in all of the fruit growing valleys
of California, because of the large profit
in the industry, Twelve thousand acres
of prune orchards were set out in the
winter of 1S90-91. and q 1000 acres more
were planted in the next two wears.
These orchards have now come into
bearing. and the state board of horticul.
ture finds that there are $4,000 acres of
bearing prune orchards in California
to-day and about 5000 acres more to
come into bearing. Conservative est
mates put the total crop of California
prunes in a favorable year at not less
than 10000 tons. In a few years more
a full yield of the fruit in California will
be more than 10000 tons of green fruit.
