neither gold nor pearls of any great
value in Lower California, that country
was also abandoned, and Spain con-
tinued her search for booty, exploring

have poured immeasurable wealth into
her greedy Golfers, and perhaps have
checked the western growth of that

Alarmed at England's aggressions,
Spain finally occupies Lower California
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century, enslaving the natives and re-
pewing her search for pearls. Under
the guise of protecting and Increasing

TRAFFIC HAMPERED.
Good Roads Sermons Taken at Ram.
dom from q Number of Illinois
Local Newspapers.

That the good roads "fad" has more
of foundation than have many of the
roads themselves, is apparent to any
one who is in position to read the pa
pers of the land. From the local papers
of single state Qllinois), where roads
are about as they are in many other
states-we CLEAN the following: At
Chandlerville, '"The roads are so rough
the doctors are taking the train when
they can to go to see their patients, and
when that is not convenient, they
walk" At Pleasantview "the warm
weather stopped the wood haulers,
owing to bad roads," At Jacksonville
a news agent announces that ION and
after January IS, the delivery Of Sun
day papers will be discontinued on all
streets not paved, until the conditions
OF the roads improve" At Plymouth
Goal is again in demand by many of
our people. The roads have been SO
everlasting muddy, the haulers Of coal
from the ridge could not get in with a
load" A Bloomington paper says: I'm
most towns of central Illinois, grain
hauling is suspended until the roads
are better" etc.
Now, ALI of the foregoingwo lead one
to infer that the good roads movement
has more back of it than "a mere hand
full Of bicyclists, who want farmers to
build good roads, SO that cycling may
be enjoyed by those city fellows"
It is gratifying to know that even the
farmers are now looking at the question
in the right light, and are showing dis
position to work hand in hand with
cyclists for the benefit and betterment
Of all concerned.-GoodR Roads.

LIGHT ON SPRAYING.
A Recent Discovery That VIII Add
to the Hope of the Average
Fruit Grower,

At a recent farmers convention Prot.
Burrill, of the University of Illinois.
gave to his hearers piece of informa-
ton that he said had not yet got into
the books. It has relative to the first
spraying of fruit and trees for fungous
diseases. Tt has been believed that in
the case of most of these pests the
spores lived over on the twigs of the
trees. 1t was advised to spray before
the blossoms were open, for the pur-
pose of killing these colonies of spores.
Fruit raisers have been religiously car
ry1ng out instructions in this regard,
and the experiment stations have been
sending out spraying calendars year bv
year In which the fruit raiser is advised
to spray before the opening of the BIOS
SONS. But now it has been found that
the theory of the spores living over on
the twigs is erroneous. The spores live
over in the leaves that fall to the
ground and lie there till spring. With
the first breath Of spring these spores
ripen sufficiently to float in the air. and
as soon as the young leaf begins to ex-
pand they find Judgment there, and be-
gin their Life work. It is, therefore.
useless to spray at the earliest time in
Dictated in most of our books on spray
ing. This discovery will add much to
the comfort of the orchardist, for it
Will decrease his times Of spraying. It
also adds greatly to his hopes, for if
the spores live over on the dead leaves
the proper way to get rid Of them is to
destroy the leaves This may be done
by clean cultivation, blowing under the
leaves that escape the burning.-Prai-

Horses Trail OF Blood.

A gentleman who travelled over the
road from here to Tompkinsville one
day last week, in talking with News
man of his trip, said: Il tell you, the
roads are in a worse condition than l
ever saw them. I had rather start to
Boston to-day than to start back to
Tompkinsville. Why, l could almost
trace every step the horses take by the
hioodstains left on the ground. The
Ground was frozen just enough to cut
the horses feet, all to pieces, and the
poor animals hobbled along like they
were walking on glass, and every now
and then sinking in frozen mud up to
their knees and pulling their feet out
dripping with blood. Occasionally the
horse would give groan of pain, and
On looking Govn one could see blood
trlc11ling down from fresh cut on their
swollen legs. How the mails ever got
through I can't understand. 1 think
the mails ought to be stopped until the
roads get SO they can be Travelled with
cut indicting such cruel punishment on
the horses. "-G7asgow (Ky.) News.

1t was to break the growing power
CT the padres, more than any thing else,
that Spain secularized the mission es-
adjustments. But before this act of
contiscation went into effect Mexico
threw off the yoke.
The transfer of California from Spain
to Mexico was effected without blow.
with change of flags the territory was
declared to be a "free republic, owing
allegiance only to Mexico" There was

The much-dreaded "Americanos" were
colonizing at Suffers Fort, and, to neu-
tral1ze their strength, the Mexicans
now invited settlers from Mexico.
Grants for large tracts of land were
given, and with the arrival of this tide
the power of the friars was completely
broken by the confscation of the mis-
s'ons. Dispossessed of their wealth. the
padres left the Indians to combat Satan
alone.
The war between the United States
and Mexico resulted in our "occupa-

time this peaceful land changed owners

that occurred in southern California
were in putting down a revolt after

THE ROTTING PEACHES.
Long Before the Disease Makes
It's Appearance.

The loss to the peach crop by rot the
past season was a great drawback in
not few cases, and if there is any way
to avoid it in the future it should be
adopted without delay. Limited ex-
periments in spraying with Bordeaux
mixture seem favorable. But the spray
| ing should be begun early enough, be-
fore the disease makes its appearance.
And. considering the danger from leaf
curl also, the time to begin would seem
to be before The buds expand, at which
time the solution should be stronger
than in subsequent applications when
the Leaves are unfolded.
Then again, in setting out orchards,
the varieties that are liable to rot
should be discarded. Some of these
would be valuable but for this constitu-
tional fault. Champion, an excellent
variety otherwise, will not sustain it.
self on this account. So with Alexan-
der, Amsden, Rivers and quite a num-
Der of others. But their loss need
cause no regret, for there is large list
of choice varieties that have good re-
sisting power to the malady, and that
will more than fill their places.
But the planter who goes at his work
haphazard and buys cheap trees-most
likely from some one he knows nothing
about-wil1 be left. "Serves him
right" was the remark made years ago
by Mr.. Colman, first United States sec
rotary of agriculture; not very compli-
mentary, but perfectly in place.
AS in any other business, the peach
growers who are successful are care
full, painstaking men. who keep clear of
all unnecessary risks. That peach rot
can be controlled by such persons
just as black knot is-there can be no
doubt. And every point must be looked
after. just now one of the things to be
done is to gather and burn the diseased
peaches sticking on the trees or lying
under them. These dried-up peaches
contain the seeds of another cron of |
rot, and everyone burned now lessons |
the danger.-National Stockman.

Tzavy Capital Is wasted.

Capital is by no means an unmixed
blessing to the would-be poultry raiser
My earnast belief is that in the ma
jority Of cases the chief use of capital
is to furnish someth hing to throw away;
for one who is interested is sure to
think OF so many hundred seemingly
desirable things, that capital melts
away into thin air at an alarming rate;
whereas, if one is SO situated that the
fowls must pay their own expenses or
make none, their owner will have
learned to save his money, or to invest
it judiciously, by the time he has any
surplus to handle for anything besides
feed bills and necessary shelter.-Farm
