1t is pointed out that partial failure of
the oyster crop in certain years, the dimi-
mutton i'll size of oysters on the market
and the extinction of many oyster beds
that formerly were famous-the Saddle
Rocks, for instance-haye been due to
want Of material for the production of
the oyster shell. The beds throughout
the oyster belt have steadily deteriorated
in late years, and in many cases become
absolutely worthless, in spite of the fact
that food has been supplied artifcially
at great expense and trouble, and wire
fences have been used to protect the oys-
ters from the starfish. For this trouble
the defilement of the water 10y sewage
and waste of various manufacturing es-
Establishments have usually been blamed.
sometimes justly, sometimes without
cause, What the oyster must have, or it
will perish, is full supply of carbonate
of lime with which to build its shell.
Near the mouths of rivers, where carbon
ate of lime in mechanical solution. as it
is expressed, comes down from the hills
and plains of the interior in drainage,
the oyster has all the material it needs
for building its house, and. at the sama
time the iniowing tide brings it ample
food. Something should be done to en-
able the oyster to hold its own against
the dredge, the rake, the garbage dump
and other destructive devices of man.

ORANGES UNDER TENTS.
\ New Device to Prevent the Blight
of Cold,

OF COld.
Orange growers in Florida still snpsl;
with bated breath of the great freeze Of
1S95-the time when wealthy men woke
up to read ruin in the frost-coverpd
ground. So keen Is the recollection of
that terrible season that devices to pro-
teCt the trees are constantly being mt
forth. One of the latest. and certainly
the most curious, is that of Il tent which
Is designed to cover and protect the trees
The tent will be waterproof so that il

heating. When the orange growers are
warned of an approaching cold wave
these lamps will be lighted and the door
of the tent closed. and there will be
warmth within, however chill the winds
may be.
One of the governments devices Ia rive
warning of an approaching cold wave is
particularly ingenious. Mails travel slow

Lemon growing is becoming one of Cal
ifornia's profitable industries after doz-
en years of costly experiment, The cul-
tivation of the fruit on Il commercial
basis dates only from 1850, when the
first cartlead was marketed at San

acres of lemon groves in the whole state.
Now there are 315,000 bearing trees and
263, 600 nonbearing. The estimates OF
shipments vary from 1,1500O0 boxes to
100000 boxes. The newly planted
trees, it is expected, will bring the total
output TO 2000,000 boxes. Lemon trees
bear more heavily and regularly than
