side of rabbit-proof Enclosures, or on so
large scale as to defy their assaults
The greater number of garden and

than is commonly supposed from rab-
bits and squirrels, and only the grad

iously lessons these pests.
The Orchard and Vineyard. Upon
a general review, the condition of the
trees and vines is very satisfactory.
A new apple orchard, planted on the
northeastern slope of the highest hill
on the tract, is nearing the bearing
age. Every tree here is of variety
new to the district; the scions we're OBJ
tanned from England, Germany, Can
ada, France, British Columbia, and
Australia, as well as from many col
lectors in the United States and repre-
sent very promising total.
Some orange and lemon trees have
been planted on the most sheltered
spot that can be found.
The fig collection has been consider
ably increased, especially by all the
Roeding varieties of Capri or wild figs.
The olives have borne large crops
and have attracted much attention in
the district, so much so that separate
bulletin on the olive in the Sierra foot
hills would seem desirab BILE. After years
of experience at the four substations in
the counties of Amador, Tulare, San
Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles, as well
as at the Central station at Berkeley,
no collection of olive trees planted by
the station promises so much profit as
does this one. Even here the frst-rate
varieties which can be generally recon-
mended to growers are few. The best
all-around variety at the substation is
the Manzanillo with the Mission a
good second. The most profitable oil
varieties are Uvaria and Atroviolacea.
These four varieties do fairly we'll with
care on the granite soil, when it is
deep, but they do better on the slate
soil
Grapes are being planted in the foot
hills more and more each year, so that
the value o: the large experiment here
is very plain. After long experience,
the substation recommends for dry red

At John Knox,s Grave.

The guidebooks unite in telling the
visitor in Edinburgh to see the grave
of John Knox. 1t is situated in Parlia-
ment square and is marked by a small
rectangular slab of stone sunk in the
cobblestone paving of the street, with
the chiseled inscription, 81. K. 1873"
But it is odds against even the acute
tourist that he finds the great reformer
at once, for only five feet away from
the holy ground there is a similar
sunken slab, and many times a day
parties of tourists may be seen ap-
preaching on tiptoe the second stone
and bending over it with keen interest
only to read, 'Wilking Patent Hy-
drant," and find themselves face to
face with the water supply system of
a modern town instead of the bones of
the eminent clergyman.

LIVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Coronation Envoy's Expenses.

A lively debate occurred in the Senate
upon an amendment to the Army Appro-
priation Bill offered by Mr.. Bailey, OF
Texas, providing that no part of the ap-
preparations made by the measure should
be used in defraying the expenses of the
special embassy to the coronation OF
King Edward VII. of England. Mr.. Bal
ley contended that the United States
should not send a special ambassador to
the coronation of England's King, or to
the coronation of any other ruler, when
the country thus honorcd did not extend
a like courtesy to the United States on
the Inauguration of a president. After
considerable discussion the amendment
was withdrawn and the bill passed.
Subsequently Mr.. Bailey offered res
olution, which will be considered later
covering the point made in his amend
ment 1t provides that It is contrary
TO the policy of the United States to ac'
credit to any foreign government any
