Care of Milk

The season of the year has now come when there will be lots of complaints from tainted and sour milk, and pro- ducers should exert themselves to cor rect the cause at once, for we have several months of warm dry weather ahead of us and the buyers do not want to be continually finding fault about this trouble during the several months.
 Everybody knows that tainted and sour milk is not good for any purpose and buyers cannot use it except at a loss. It will make neither cheese or butter, nor be fit to send to the city for consumption.
 It will not take many minutes for the producer to get his cans in the coolest water he has, nor would the expense be very great to arrange for it. Great care should be taken to have every can, bucket and strainer, washed and scalded, not only once, but twice a day, and by scalding we do not mean rinsing in warm water, but with boil ing water. The milk should be thoroughly areated before putting into the cans. Large quantities of milk and cream are now going to the mar kets of the large cities and unless it can be kept reasonable time it is of no use and hurts the reputation of both dealer and producer. The pro- ducer is supposed to furnish the milk pure and sweet, whether it goes to the

 Exercise for brooder chicks, making them scratch for good portion of each days fooud supply, is the best way to prevent rheumatism and cramp.
 Cows should be watered at least twice day when on dry feed, and the water should be pure and wholesome.
 Dipping dirty eggs in sharp vinegar and then washing them in warm water and drying them in thick cloth with out rubbing them will generally make them look clean, fresh and bright.

 Big milking COWS should be milked before calving if the udder is likely to become infamed, but judgment should be used in the matter. All COWS should have cooling, laxative foods at this time and should never be exposed to the cold or allowed to get chilled or be excited in any way.

Canker Worm at San Jose

Orchaldists are struggling with an in- vasion of the canker worm near San Jose, according to dispatch which says that "the canker worm is ap- bearing in great numbers in the orchards of the valley and fruit grow CTS are now waging vigorous war on them. The first reports of the pest came in last week. Reports say that they have increased greatly in num- bers during the past warm spell. The cherry trees are the greatest sufferers. Some orchards that promised big re- turns have been ruined. Hundreds of men are engaged in fighting the pests. |"
 It would seem as if only increasing warfare on orchard pests will secure a crop of any kind. Only once in a year can a crop be matured with much care and labor, and that may be swept away at last by some disgusting pest in spite of all efforts.

Usage of Convicts

The board of state prison directors last Saturday took up the subject of the charges which have recently been given publicity of alleged ill treatment of the convicts at Folsom prison. A re- cord was presented by Secretary Brain ard F. Smith, compiled by order of the board, showing the amount of food supplied the prisoners at San Quentin and Folsom prisons. This statement showed that in the last year of Warden Aull's administration 12l6 pounds of food were furnished each man. In the last year of Warden Wilkinson's ad- ministration 1l65 pounds of food were given each man, while at San Quentin the amount of food given each man is 1126 pounds.
 Warden Wilkinson, on oath, declared that the prisoners get all the food they can eat. He denied the story that tainted fish was given Lthe convicts. Major c. w. Kyle, who deals out cloth ing to the convlcts, testified that on two occasions he had issued acquisitions for clothhing which were not honored. Captain R. J. Murphy testified as to the forms of punishment employed at the prison. One of these is tricing, the prisoner having his hands cuffed behind his back. The straight jacket has been used but has been abandoned. The dark dungeon is used with some prisoners. Captain Murphy said it is necessary to use such forms of punish ment on certain prisoners and if pun ishment was abandoned altogether the penitentiary would be in riot.

Rhubarb Growing

A subscriber wants to know how to grow rhubarb for home use. This plant will grow in variety of soils it given plenty of water and kept partly shaded when grown in very hot stua- tions. We have seen fine large plants in May growing by the acre at Bakers field in black alkali, from seed sown in February. The plants were kept well irrigated and in four months from seed the ground was completely shaded by the leaves; the plants were about two feet apart. The quickest way to secure good plants is to take old roots and divide them, leaving healthy eyes to each piece of root. Do not keep excessively wet until they are we'll started, when plenty of water and stable manure will make them grow rapidly. They should not be deprived of their leaves during the first seasons growth, and in after years always allow good growth of leaves at the latter end of the season. If this is not observed, the plants will lose vitality. California Cultivator.

While the shortage of water is caus- ing some anxiety to the city the street superintendent is urging wider use of oil for street sprinkling as means of saving the water supply.
 A fine compliment has been paid California Horticulture in an order sent by F. B. Bendell of Cleveland, O., to the Redondo company. The order is for 15OO sweet peas, 1000 carnations, 300 roses, 200 centaureas, 100 feet of smilax, 400 corn flowers, 400 coreop- isis, 100 calla lilies, 200 sprays of orange blossoms and dozen magnolia blossoms. The flowers are to be used for decoration in Cincinattl festival The flowers were shipped in ice chests Friday morning. This is the largest order of the kind ever filled here.
 Numbered among the important municipal contracts that will expire next month is that of Franklin & Alexander, who have the contract for garbage removal. There is some talk among members of the council of establishing a municipal garbage department on small scale during the coming year, the idea being to build public garbage creamatory later on. This subject has been dis cussed until it is almost threadbare, but the council has never been able to take any definite steps owing to d lack of funds.

A num- Der of passengers on the Brooklyn ave- nue car sustained slight injuries.

Names on the Trees

All the shrubs and ornamental trees should have names attached to them, for these labels are the means of edu eating the children as well as of iden- tifying them at once for older people. Exact knowledge is the demand of our age, and as Field and Farm we'll says:
 "The knowledge gained will prove both valuable and gratifying to people that are intelligent and ambitious to become aquainted with the great world of nature around them.
 AS matter of course, fruit trees when set should also have labels giv- ing names or enough of their names to make it possible to identify the row. When there are whole rows of one variety, the name may be placed on one tree only. It is no unusual thing to go through an c-chard of mixed fruits and be told by the owner that he does not know the names of the varieties growing there.

Fungus Diseases of the Rose

The rose is subject to nearly as many fungous diseases as insect pests, though but two or three are at all seri- ous in California. The greatest diff culty in dealing with this class of fungi is the impossibility of reaching the fungus plant, which is usually in the tissues of the host plant, and not on the outside, as is the prevalent opinion.
 For purposes of illustration, our mushroom and toadstools will be the best examples; the plant consisting of thread-like filaments or spawn wholly underground. The umbrella shaped mushroom is only the fruit or spore- bearing organ and may be removed without injury to the plant below. Thus it will be seen that these fungous diseases do not often manifest their presence until they burst through the tender bark or leaf with their spor- bearing organs. It is then too late to apply outside remedies, except for the purpose of preventing the spread of the disease to other plants. In the meantime you must remove, if ascer- taniable, the cause of the disease.- California Cultivator.

Murderer Captured

Thomas Cordova was captured at the pump station near Congress, Ariz. |, Friday at noon by Deputy Sheriffs Gibson and Slankard. He confesses to killing Bias Gillian in his bed Sun day night, SIX miles from Buckeye, and says his reason for doing so was that Gillian had stolen his wife. No resistance was made to the officers at the time of the capture. The murderer is considered by Congress people, where he has lived, as heretofore a Mexican of good reputation.

The Growers Committee Agree Upon
 Changes in the Bylaws

The growers committee representing the California Cured Fruit association has agreed upon report providing for changes in the bylaws of the combine. The directors have agreed to them and they have been printed and will be mailed to each member of the association.
 The most important changes are pro- posed: First, to permit any member who wishes to resign at any time second, to enable the directors to bor- row money third, reducing the mem- bers of the directorate from eleven to seven, and, fourth, providing for great reductions in expenses.
 The committee believes that ma jority vote can be secured for the pro- posed changes. The members report that if the changes are made the asso- citation can be made practical work ing success. All ballots of members must be in the office of the association at San Jose by June 4.
