FOUR LIVES LOST.

Four lives were lost in the great fire
which destroyed Saint Vincent de
Paul Hospital in Norfolk, Va. The re-
mains were taken from the debris and
removed to the city morgue for identi-
ficatiOn.
Sister Bernard, who is in charge of
the hospital, estimates the loss $780,
900, on which there was an insurance
of only $33, 900. That the hospital will
be rebuilt there is scarcely a doubt.
Many of the walls are intact and can
be utilized.

Extra care and late irrigation will usu-

deal to thiStrOuble to dusty rOadWayS
and in some cases to lack of fumiga
ton, but he has never failed to bring
a tree back to it's regular blooming
again unless the cause is from disease.
Water often fails to reach the roots, no
matter how copiously applied, from
hardpan OF other conditions of the soil.
Very often this causes adventurous
blooming Fortunately my rounds re-
vealed remedy for hardpan that is
being applied here with success.
On one ranch was found subsoil
mules and controlled by two men. The
shank twenty inches long and made
bushes part of the plOw is a sleel
sharp like knife Golfer, and fastened
firmly at the upper end into large
wooden beam. The lower end of the
shank is mortsed into a steel ingOt
about two feet long, fiat OH the bot
tom, cigar-shaped on top, with chisel
shaped point and six or eight inches
wide throughout it's length. 1t runs
horizontally under ground like the bar
of an ordinary plow, only sixteen or
eighteen inches below the surface,
making no more indication of what is
going on below than a submarine boat,
the only evidence of it's use being q
small mark left by the shank. This
implement is run twice between rows
each way, and as the trees are planted
quincuncial it is run diagOnally, thus
breaking up the hardpan under the en-
tire space not occupied by the large
roots. Irrigation follows and the wa
ter penetrates freely to the lower
| feeders. 1t is success and has solved
the problem of dry year hardpanning.
There is no patent on this subsOil i'm
plement, and it may be made by any
good blacksmith. 1t is the most eff
fective piow for rendering irrigation
easy and thorough, and by the use Of
little judgment it is harmless to the
roots Of the trees.

navels, and ten acres of grapefruit
had gone the way of all prOftless
kinds of citrus fruits in this enterpris-
ing valley The proprietor said he
found the most satisfactory way to do
the work was by contract with pro-
fessiOnal reliable builder, who charged
his varieties, which included the en-
tire care of the orchard for one year by
the contractor Do you find it profit
able to cut back the old trees and
await new growth in which to insert
the buds? eyes, and paid dearly for
budding in the old branches in work
ing out my grapefruit. But some
times one cannot wait, and if the sap
is right, it succeeds as well as the new
wood process. A professional builder
interviewed later in the day said he
had to go over a whole orchard the
second time this summer through bud
ding when the trees were retrOgrad-
en- growers recommended the new
wood plan, even if it does require a
great deal of delay, and extra work in
suckering he trees.
In the summing up of the infOrma-
ton secured upon the causes that lead
to these wholesale changes of kinds
and varieties, it is found a matter of
practical experience in the markets.;
a desire to have uniformity and super
ior quality, and that fashion OF cap
rice has no part in the expensive pro-
gramme. Expert help is the rule and
a care in budding from thoroughly
tested trees; that working in new
growth always succeeds and from it
are produced more cOmely trees; that
the practice of painting or whitewash-
ing the trunks after denudation is
damaging and about obsolete. The ex-
pense cannot be estimated accurately
unless is given the size and age of the
trees and the number of buds re-
Quired to each tree. Should additional
information be offered by any of the
readers of the Times upon this import
ant subject, no doubt it would be prop
erly given in this department later on.
It's Importance dates from the fact
that, outside of individual interests,
the citrus products of Southern Cali
fOrnia should be made more uniform
and excellent, and that failure to bring
the entire product up to the market
able appearance and quality effects the
value of that portion which is most eX-
cellent and staple The elimination of
degenerate and otherwise undesirable
citrus stock should have place with
fumigation, and receive the general at
tention Of all engaged in the industry.
One grower recommends that the
trunks of the trees be scraped thor
oughly to remove the dead bark, soon
after the tops are cut off preparatory
to renewing the wood for budding. BY
this means the trunk is made breath
ing surface to compensate for the foil
age removed with the old branches.

new ideas:
With the idea that something con-
eerhing orange culture direct from the
rancher Himself; would be interesting
and advantageous to the industry, a
representative of the Times was detail
ed to drivethrough one of the principal
citrus growing sections a few days
ago, and ask questions here and there,
more especially concerning the better
ment of kinds and varieties of rebuild
ing. The answers were like the battle
cry of political campaign, 1--WE must
have change. Our profits are les
sened by the invasion of poorer va
rieties, sports and useless kinds of cit
rus fruits. Our land is numbered by
worthless trees and the budding knife
and string must be applied regardless
of expense to rectify the mistakes of
serymen, and our on blunders in the
selection of kinds and varieties" The
Times commissioner suggested that it
was not known ten years ago to what
extent the Washington naval orange
would ''spOrt' or retrOgrade into
worthless individual progeny, in eX-
cJlse for the condition in many of the
groves in the state. In answer he show
ed sweets, navels and ''Australians'' in
an orchard he set from the stock of a
reputable firm for Valencia Lates, and
he was left wondering what should be
done with nurseryman who was so
derelict as to entail all this expense
and worry upon an honest purchaser.
Another rancher a mile further along
had four men at work cutting back 100
sports, or Australian navals, as they
are enormously named. They had bur-
dened his orchard thirteen years, and
comprised per cent. of plantation
of 1900 trees, otherwise perfect in
type and prOductiveneSS.
"What do you think of that? We
have invested our money in several
hundred acres of citrus fruits and are
making it pay. But here is the big
mistake" He indicated forty acre
''patch'' of navals and Valencias grow
ing upon the stubs of older trees.
'"The land was first planted to JOppas.
1t was a worthless venture and we
budded them over to lemons After
growing them two years the lemon
tops had to go, and now the trees will
paw. Got a box Of navalS off Of these
two year old buds last season." he re-
marked, as he yanked a sucker from a
tree, grumbling that there were other
kinds of suckers 1t had cost him $3.50
in cash to bud over his tract twice,
and he used SIS worth of Irvine alone
in the last transformation. How much
had been lost in cultivation, irrigation
and general care could not be stated,
but it would reach very large sum.
And this rancher is one of the most
successful in the country.
Another grower visited had cut back
and rebudded "a acres of his eighty
acre Of citrus fruits, or 30 per cent.
Three acres of this were thirteen

not paid interest on their mere cult

New YORK, Dec. 4.-Rev. DIR. Benja.
min f. De Costa who, in September
last, resigned the rectorship of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church of st. John
the Evangelist, was Sunday received
into the Boman Catholic church. The

Academy of the Sacred Heart.
DR.. De Costa, being married man, is
therefore not eligible to the priesthood
in the Roman Catholic church.
The prospects are that he will return
to literature and devote himself to writ
ing and lecturing.
DIR. DeCosta took prominent part in
the controversy over the ordination of
Mr.. Briggs few months ago. He was
a bitter opponent of the latter.
DIR. De Costa prepared for publication
statement in justification of his
course in which he takes strong
grounds on the Bible question, holding
that the Roman Catholic church is IT, 8

Had to Face u Terribly Deadly Fire at
the Rattle of Modder
River.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Daily Chronicle
published dispatch dated Wednesday,
Nov 20, from correspondent, describ-
ing the battle of the Modder River,
which said in part: "The battle was
waged iercely for nearly IA hours. The
enemy occupied strongly entrenched
position, their front extending five
miles along the bank OF the stream.
They were well supplied with artillery
ind fought desperately.
"Ihe battle started about daybreak,
our gems shell;ng the Beers left. The
enemy replied with artillery, Hotch-
kiss and MaXims, and the artillery duel
lasted some hours. Then there was a
brief lull in the enemy's operations, of
which the general Immediately took ad.
vantage. Our infantry advanced across
the plain toward the river in two bri-
gadeS. The guards, ON the right, were
met by an awful hail of bullets from the
enemy's sharpshoOters, posted close to
the river on the opposite bank. Ours
had no cover whatever and were simply
moved down. 1t seemed impossible to
live through the terrible fire, but the
brave fellows did not retreat. The Boer
fire was horribly accurate, and they
must have numbered at least 10000.
"The Scots guards advanced about
900 yards before they were fired on.
Then they had to lie down to escape the
deadly tusillade, which lasted without
intermission throughout the day. The
Highlanders made several attempts to
force passage of the river, but they
were exposed to such murderous en-
tlading fire that they had to retire after
they had suffered terribly. Subse-
quently party of the guards got over
and held their own for hours against q
vastly superior force.
"Our men fell in dozens while trying
rush the Boer position.

most conspicuoussswas that of Lieuten.

tire, and, joining hands, swan back,
two of their number being nearly
drowned in the retreat.
The British guns kept up a heavy
fire all day and fearful havoc was
wrought on the Boer positions, the en-
emy being forced to fly from their en-
trenchments. Night put an end to the
terrible blOodshed. The infantry bri-
gade was dreadfully cut up. The Beers
