At this point the skill of man enters

essary to California as he was to that
older Eden in that other arid, semi
tropical country in Asia Minor. In
nearly all valley and foothlll situations
diligent cultivation is the price OF lie
and productiveness in the tree, ana
pruning is the secret of its strength ana
symmetry. Hence has arisen the rep
utation of California in these important
lines of orchard and vineyard work,
and within the last few years the eX-
ample of Cal ljfornia has led the older
States to the beginning of a new era
in their own horticulture and in their
treatment of so-called "hoed crops" as
we'll The basic principle is the stirred
surface, to check evaporation, to pro-
mote retention of moisture in the low
er strata, and the deeper roofing of
plants to enjoy it. California did not
discover the principle. 1t was inscribed
1, TO W. thought
of. but California found, first, that the
survival of the plant depended upon
it: and second that survival on that
basis meant the highest excellence. In
humid climates the question Of sur
vival is not involved, but the superior
excellence of the cultivated orchard is
becoming so clear that the old COW
pasture orchard is being remanded to
it's proper place among the picturesque
ruins of a former time. California, IN
achieving her own success, has brought
the older States up to date in rational
horticultural practice.
There remains still another distinctive
character among California's hOrticult-
ural adaptations. Equable tempera-
lures, unequaled light and heat, ade-
quate and timely moisture. the high
est human insight in location and skill
in maintenance-all these would fail
of success were not the ultimate foun-
dation of horticulture, the soil itself,
of commensurate excellence. Thus, in
deed it is. Our fruit soils in all parts
of the State are Enthusiastically deep,
rich and mellow. Systematic examina-
ton and comparison with the soils OF
humid climates have shown exactly and
indisputably that an arid climate favors
retention of plant food in the soil, and
that we have in our deep surface
strata a wealth Of fertility which the
rains of a humid climate would have
been for centuries carrying to the
ocean.
Both the depth and the richness are
eofactors. In our best valley situations
the soil is practically the same at a

she said, with a radiant look upon her
sweet, freshly calsomined countenance
From the very first moment" he fer
vently replied.
He was young and unused to that
sort of thing.
Young, inexperienced fellows always
become fervent when women who
know things look into their eyes, and
sigh:
"Ah, you trifer!'' she said, with a
pout.
Darling" he cried, edo not say that

But he had been gazing so intently
at her that he had not seen the ant

After she had helped to pick the
burrs out of his hair he went on:

was ever more in earnest than I am
now. Do not judge me by others. Was
your first husband cruel to you 2"
Her gaze rested upon the turf, and
she was silent for a moment. Then
with an effort she replied:
Eyes, he was very, very crueli''

young man. 'T cannot conceive of any

"Oh, in a hundred ways she said,
with another sigh; ''but let us not talk
of him. Let us only be happy with
each other, and enjoy the beauties OF
nature that are spread out before us.
Do you know that I think you are the
most handsome man have ever seen?'
No woman had ever before called him
a man, and a thrill of ecstasy passed
through him. He was ready to fall
down at her feet and worship her, but
he had already lost one suspender but
ton, and therefore dared not assume
the risk. At last he said:
Darling, let us be married at once.
Do not compel me to wait until fall"

''why are you in such hurry?''

He was unable to catch his breath h
for a. minute, but when he did so he
said:
"All, you darling You dear girl.
How good of you!"
Then they stopped and hugged and
kissed each other, and might be at il
yet, but for the fact that his big, un-
sentimental father popped out Of a
fence corner and grabbed the boy by
the nape of the neck and whisked him
almost out of his knfckerbockers.
When the dear girl recovered from
her surprise she was alone. and the
next time she met her "trifier'' he had
whiskers and three children. Also q

her that, owing to the fact that he had
slept the night before in a draught and
the wind had blown through his paja-

one for the typewriter and he stalled
at it.

he inquired.

THE OUTLOOK.

Now that we have passed COM
paratively uninjured through the
most serious crisis that has
marked the history of Tensas par
ish since it was wrested from a
state of nature, it behooves us. a
proyident people, to prepare for
the future. The experience Of 1897
has convinced us that we are still
to be confronted each spring by
the danger of overflow. If we
are protected against such a ca
lamity, this country would soon
become rich and prosperous, but
if the waters are allowed to spread
annually over the fields, destitu-
ton and desolation will follow
and we will be compelled to seek
homes elsewhere. By watching our
defenses closely and being pre-
pared for any emergency, we have
saved our levees almost entirely.
The maxim sin times of peace
prepare for = war;" originated
among a wise people and we must
be governed by it now. Many
miles of our levees are below grade,
many have developed weaknesses
and defects and many will have to
be strengthened and enlarged. To
accomplish what is necessary we
will have to patiently submit to
taxation as our Levee Board de-
mands. To rely on the United
States Government taking charge
of the levees will not do. That
the Levee Commissioners, all of
whom are men of high character
and personally deeply interested
in this matter of protection, will
act only for our best interests can
not be doubted. All we ran do is
to set our houses in order, pay our
taxes and await results. If the
Government should take charge OF
the levees we will be fortunate,
but until they do we must rely on
our own resources.

"Mr. Ball also stated that the

the bale is pressed into compact,

sit is almost solsly upon the
new baling machinery that the
company intends to show its SUI
periority over the old methods.
'Instead of selling the appa-
ratus, as the inventors intended

strict accountability as to tine
character of the packages under

mon standard.
The American manner of pack
ing cotton has called forth the
protests of foreign dealers. The
disadvantage to Continental pro
ducts has been estimated at more
than 3 per cent. The mixing OF
grades, the exposure TO fire and
the temptation to robbery have
been cited as the,chief evils. The
new process, it is asserted, does
away with all these. Furthermore,
it will, it is asserted, more dis
tinctly mark out the line of com.
mercial interest between the grow.
er and the spinner, which has long
been the obscure point upon which
dissension have arisen.
each cylindrical bale will be
subjected to a sampling process:
and each sample will bear the
guarantee of the company, which
intends to make good any defci.
ency caused by mistake. Should
the company succeed in making
its system universal, it estimated
that the yearly saving Will amount
to upward of $30,000,000. The
chief advantage will, it is assert
ed, rebound to the interest of the
grower. The spinner and trans.
ported will also come in for "a share
of advantage. The former will
be supplied with the assurance Of
correct weight and quality and the
transporter will be able to com.
pete more advantageously with
the foreign trade. The guarantee
will be the chief factor of a result
of the modern machinery"
