Need of Special Cultivation

In noting the singular condition
of the orange groves, the like of which
has not been seen in thirty years, cas-
this is the first time that the orange
has failed to set a good crop of fruit"
in that long period, the California
Cultivator very wisely says that
whether there is crop or not in the
grove, no cessation of the best work
must be permitted. Irrigation and
cultivation must be regular and con-
tinuous, 80 that while next years fruit
buds are in process of formation thea
will have the best chances for favorable
development. 1t is also an excellent
suggestion that something ought to be
tried in the way of fertilization for
trees that show signs OF partial dor
nancy, to bring them to an active con-
dition of growth while the season is
at its best. On no consideration should
they be allowed to show signs of need
ing water, for this may be the one
thing that will bring check to the
Irrigation should not lag at all, but
OuSHI W Uo QulGc up W IIIuc, duu 1u0
cultivation, unless the practice has
been otherwise, should be not only
very deep, but thorough and oftener
than usual between irrigations. Young
trees should be gone over and suckered.
Old ones will also need to be looked
to in the middle of the tree to see that
no shoots run up out of the top of the
tree to make an unbalanced branch.
Trees that have been budded will
need the closest attention; last years
trees to see that nothing but the buds
are allowed to grow and this years
budding to treat judiciouslv so that
the tree may be encouraged to do it's
best. Where the buds are slow about
starting, it is not best to be too, severe
on the young shoots that come from
the parent stock, but the idea should
be to coax free flow of sap in the
limbs that have been cut off so that
they will not get bark-bound and
stunted The best period for young
buds is ahead, and the aim should be
to get as good a growth of mature
wood as possible before winter comes
on. 1t will be found that if the buds
are young and full of sap on the APP
proach of winter weather they are very
apt to be injured by light frost that
would have no effect on mature wood.

Alcohol From Sugar Beets

A press report states that new in
dustry, the production of alcohol from
sugar beet refuse, is about to be estab-
lished in Santa Clara county at the
old Lick mills, near Agnews, by tie
Union Distilling company of San Fran
cisco. The latest machinery is in
place, about 100000 having been
expended in fitting up the distillery.
Black strap, of the refuse of beet sugar
factories, will be used in making the
alcohol. This process is new thing
in the United States, there being but
one other factory of the kind in the
country, small establishment located
in Michigan.
The output of the Union Distilling
company's plant is estimated at $780,
600 worth of alcohol month. A force
of about seventy-fve men will be
employed, and the distillery will run
night and day. The plant is most COM
plete, and has immense storage facil-
tiles. It's product will test at about
So per cent, and it is expected the Pa
citic coast will use the entire output.

Panama Is Threatened

Kingston, Jamaica--The British
steamer Floridan, from Liverpool July
"a, for West India and Central Ameri-
can ports, arrived Friday from Colon
and reported considerable insurgent
activity in the neighborhood of the
isthmus. An attack on Panama was
feared and the Colombian government
was making strenuous efforts to largely
reinforce the garrisOns there and at
Colon. Regarding the recent battle at
Aguadulo, the Floridan's officers re-
port that the government of Colombia
claimed the insurgents were routed,
but that it was believed at Colon that
the engagement was undecisive.
San Jose, Costa Rica-News has just
reached here from the camp of the
Colombian revolutionists in the Aqua
Dulce district that after naval en-
gagement the Columbian government
gunboat Boyaca was captured by the
revolutionists. Three hundred govern
ment soldiers and Generals Ortiz and
Henao and supplies of munitions of
war and provisions were captured with
the Bovaca.

San Jose Peach Crop

An unusually fine peach crop is
maturing around San Jose. The fruit
is large and we'll colored and "bloom-
ed. - The flavor of it is unexcelled,
due in great measure to the zeal hot
weather during the maturing season.
The crop is almost fully matured now
and it will require the utmost haste to
market it successfully and with profit,
either in the green or dried state. The
Gamers are paying good prices for all
the fruit offered, but are critical as to
the size. In fact in apricots they de-
clare that thev are experiencing diff
Guilty in getting choice sizes for the
best quality of pack. An average
estimate of the season is that it is
fifteen days late. The peach crop is
thus far being offered to Gamers in
only limited quantities and some davs
will yet elapse before the full offering
will be available.

HOW DEATH CAME TO TEACHERS
The Cebu Coaching Party Was Am
bushed

An investigation made by the con-
stabulary. of Manila, to clear up the
facts in the killing of a Cebu coaching
party of four school teachers shows
that the party was ambushed twelve
miles from Cebu.
Two teachers were shot and killed
at the first volley; third, who ran,
was shot in the back, and fourth,
who was captured, was shot in the
chest while he was on his knees pray
ing for mercy.
1t is supposed that the fourth man
was buried alive, as hisDwound was
slight. and probably would not have
caused death. Dogs dug up two of the
bodies and devoured the flesh. 1t is
believed that sufficient evidence has
been secured to convict all the par.
Elephants in the crime.
The bodies of the teachers were
found on July "a, after the teachers
had been missing since June 10. The
police killed the leader of the band of
murderers and captured eight other
alleged participants in the crime. One
man escaped.

Three Apricots to the Pound

An editorial in the San Jose Herald
says: "From the ranch of Tom Fisher
at Coyote come nine apricots to the
Herald Office which weigh three pounds,
three to the pound. The fruit is with
out scar or blemish and displayed
where intending settlers could see it
would be worth more to the country as
an advertisement than train-load of
literature. Object lessons of this kind
have weight, for where nature brings
forth nine apricots weighing three
pounds, she has demonstrated that she
can continue doing the same thing if
man will but do his part in assisting
her. Nature promises this sfor Santa
Clara county. Her word is taken where
that of circular writer's might not be. I"

With two tramways to the north
of as, Nezperce will be strictly in
it. What the town now needs is
plenty of water. This question
now seems solved by the recent
test of the Johnson we'll at the
mill, where a continuous flow OF
ten gallons per minute for ten
hours was maintained without any
sign of diminishing the flow. The
town should now take some steps
to secure an abundance of water
for the accommodation of those
who will visit our town on the
way to and from the tramways
and also in the course of everyday
trade. We also need a reserve sup
ply in case of fire. We would adj
vocate also the establishment of
some sort of fire brigade and if
possible, hook and ladder COM
pany could be formed.

Whereas, The present system Of
handling farm products in the Pa
louise country is very unsatisfactory
to the farmers thereof, from the
fact that it costs the farmer the
entire profit of his crop to handle
it through the present warehouse
system, az it goes through number
OF hands from the threshing-ma-
chine to the exporter, and each one
must have "rake-off," and by the
time it reaches the final purchaser,
the farmer is out from ) to Z cents
more per bushel than he should be.
Thus it is plain to be seen that the
system now in vogue is detrimental
to the farmer; and,
Whereas, We believe that the
farmers, by through organization,
can handle their own produce and

doing save the expense of ware

Dear Sir: What is lumber worth?
Depends on the lumber" you say
what sort do you WANT
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask: "What'H you paint
my house for?'
The Yankee answer is: How do you
want it painted? One coat? two coats ?
three coats? first-class or cheap"
The proper answer is: Il want the
best paint put on as it ought to be-
That's Devoe: but the usual answer
is: II want a good job; but l want it
cheap" Which means: l want you to
paint it for nothing. l want to be
fooled.
Lead and oil is the costliest paint
there is: not the best: it used to be the
best. Devoe is the best. since zinc
came in: Devoe lead and zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles
its wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead; and we
grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc; but no.
body else is treating it right. Devoe is
your paint.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & co.
