mutton tallow improves it. Apply
this for gals, sores and in fact all

PROTECT THE FRUIT.
Government Approves California
Quarantine Measures.

Washington, Aug. 21.-In response to
a letter of inquiry from the postmaster
general, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has approved the request of the Califor-
mia state board of horticulture that post
masters at Pacific coast points of entry
shall submit all mail matter from TIa
wall and the Philippines containing fruit
or plants to the horticultural officials of
the Pacific coast states for their inspec-
ton before delivery to the addresses.
The executive committee of the Cali
fornia board have forwarded resolutions
asserting that a large number of pests
are carried in the horticultural products
sent from those islands. Secretary Will
son in his reply says that the quarantine
service which California has been carry
ing on for some years to protect the
state from injurious insects, especially
from ASiatic and Australians ports has
done admirable work and has saved the
agriculture and horticultural industries
on the Pacific coast from great loss If
the instructions to postmasters suggest
ed can be issued he says, the protection
of the fruit growing interests of that
part of the country will be complete.
