GROWING SMALL FRUITS.

1t is well known that the district be-
tween San Leandro and Haywards, in
Alameda county, produces nearly all
the currants and gooseberries grown
for shipment in California. While these
small fruits grow to perfection there
it is conceded that raspberry, black
berry and strawberry culture is not a
success, owing to conditions of climate
and soil. One of the features of small
fruit growing in that district is the
economy of land. The vines are almost
invariably planted in young orchards.
1t is said that little or none of the nu-
tritive elements of the soil is diverted
from the roots of the trees. Small fruit
culture is discontinued when the or
chard arrives at bearing age. The
scheme of planting in genral use is as
follows: Currants-ROws five feet
apart, thirty inches in the row; Guilt
vate one way and hoe between. Goose
berries-Three rows between rows of
trees each way; cultivate in both di-
rections-California Fruit Grower.

IRRIGATION FROM WELLS.

Irrigation by water from we'll, if
the latter yields good supply at mod
crate depth from the surface, possess
certain advantages over that from a
gravity supply, in spite of the usually
greater annual cost of procuring the
water
The wells and the source of the
water are, as a rule, under the indi-
vidual control of the irrigator. 1t is
not necessary for him to combine with
other men and to invest large capital
in complicated undertaking before he
can receive any benefit. 1t is often
possible for the farmer to dig or drill
the well himself, and he can purchase,
sometimes on credit if necessary, the
machinery, wind mill, or pump for
bringing the water to the surface. Be-
ing under his own supervision he can
apply the water whenever, in his judy
ment, the plants need it, not being
compelled to wait his turn or to take
water at inconvenient times, whether
day or night, according as it may be
allotted under large irrigating sys-
tem.-F. H. Newell in Irrigation Age.

BOILING WATER WITHOUT FIRE
The Only Trick About 1t is to Stir l
Long and Hard Enough

1t is possible to make pail of water
boil without putting it on the fire and
without applying external heat to it
in any way. In fact, you can make a
pail of water boil by simply stirring it
with a wooden paddle. The feat was
recently performed in the physical lab
cratory of Johns Hopkins university,
in Baltimore, Md, and any one may do
it with a little trouble and persever-
ance.
All you have to do is to place your
water in a pail-it may be ice water
If necssary-and stir it with a wooden
paddle. If you keep at it long enough
it will certainly boil. Five hours OF
constant and rapid stirring are suf1-
cient to perform the feat successfully
The water will, after time, grow
warm, and then it will grow hot-so
hot, in fact, that you cannot hold your
hand in it, and finally it will boil. Prof
Ames of Johns Hopkins annually illus
trates some of the phenomena of heat
by having one of his students perform
the trick in front of his class. 1t is a
tiresome job, but it is PERFECTLY feas-
ible.
The point which Prof. Ames wishes
to illustrate is what is known as the
mechanical equivalent of heat. 1t re-
quires just so many foot pounds of
work to develop a given quantity of
heat. By turning the paddle in the
water at regular speed it is possible
to find out just how much work is re-
quired to raise the temperature of wa
ter one degree. The best measure
ment so far made, and, in fact, the one
which is accepted as the standard of
the world. is that which was measured
in Johns Hopkins university.
Heat is developed in almost any
substance which is subjected to con-
tinuous or very violent action. 1t is

GOING TO MANILA.
One of Oakland's Brave Boys Goes to
Join Dewey.

One of Oakland's brave boys who
donned the blue at his country's call
was W. Bashford Smith. Mr.. Smith
had considerable knowledge of military
tactics, and was fortunate enough to
be sworn into the Fourteenth United
States infantry, one of the crack regi-
mehts destined for the Philippines. Mr..
Smith was an o. H. S. boy, and since
leaving there has turned his attention
to mining, having spent some time in
ArlZona's mines. He had recently
completed a course on assaying in
San Francisco, which he was about to
put to practical use. He leaves behind
a host of friends besides his family,
who will eagerly watch for news OF
him.-Oakland Enquirer.
The subject of the above item is a
nephew of W. c. Bashford and of Mrs.
r. H. Burmister of Prescott He spent
summer in Prescott in the employ
of the Jersey Lily company, and has a
host of friends and acquaintance there
also.

to work by the electric process. 1t is
claimed that this can be done at a good

The Golden Wonder mine in Tonic
Basin, which has produced some of
the richest free gold ever taken from
a mine in the territory, is still in very
rich ore at depth of 300 feet.
Some valuable mines are being de-
veloped on Pinto creek, near Florence,
the region being rich in gold, copper,
silver, iron and lime fux. with an
abundance of wood and water.
How would our friend Winsor of the

MINERALS IN AGRICULTURE.

The large extent of mineral land
which has been patented as agricul-
tural land in the western states, has
been alluded to by the Journal on for
mer occasions, and the subject has
been taken up by other papers in sew
eral states. That this fraud on the
prospectors and miners of the United
States was ever allowed to be possible,
resulted from the wrong policy of sell
ing the land and not reserving the
minerals for the use of the miner. The
three branches of the public domain
are Invisible and distinct, and any dis
pute as to the ownership of one of
them is unnecessary, under the enact
ment of wise laws for the benefit OF
all concerned. The timber belongs to
the lumberman. who can acquire the
right to cut so much per year, but 1t
is not necessary for the public good
to sell the agricultural or the mineral
right with it at the timber value, as
has been done. Nor is it wise public
policy to sell the agricultural right to
land and give the agriculturist the
birthright of the miner along with the
land, without consideration or reserve.
The minerals ought to belong to the
man who has the courage and knowl-
edge to work them and are the proper
ty of the people, which should not be
allowed to pass into private control.
We are but life-rented in them at the
best, and state ownership of the min.
erals operated under liber laws, will
give US life-lease, which is all we re-
quire The holding of mineral lands
for speculation, and waiting for labor
and capital to come and buy them, at
greatly increased value over the gov
eminent land in the first place, is the
worst form of monopoly with which
the United States is cursed. 1t is the
best means to stop industry and the
increase of the national wealth, as it
is a factor in the employment of Ia
Dor, and the production of wealth and
happiness which it is not in the power
of man to create So long as there is

AMERICAN CONSUL IN TROUBLE

Madrid. Feb. 2L-The Heraldo Impair

Lisbon papers a story regarding the ar
rest of Mr.. c. c. Manning. the American
consul at st. Michaelss, Azore Islands.
The story OF the trouble. as told by
these papers. is to the effect that Mr..
Manning, after going the rounds of all
the saloons in the town. became involved
in an alteration at o'clock in the morn
ing with a cabman regarding the fare.
The cabman called a policeman. who
was promptly knocked down by the con-
sui. Then two municipal guards appear
ed and a scuffie followed, during which
one of the guards smashed the butt of
his carbine over Mr.. Manning's head, in
ficting a somewhat severe wound. The
consul was eventually dragged to the po-
lice station, where he was detained until
the following afternoon when the consul
general at Lisbon, who had been advised
of the affair, interviewed and formulated
a protest.

There has been a good deal of activity

of matters becoming so serious as to re-
quire the services of the volunteer sol
diery and the officers of all companies
report their commands in excellent shape.
Should marching orders be issued the
men would proceed much the same
as they did for their annual encamp-
ments. In the armories are stored in
separate lockers heavy marching out
fits for each man. consisting of campaign
uniforms knapsacks. haTersacks, meat

ammunition. The quartermasters of each
company would receive rations and sup
