so that many wine producers became dis
couraged and turned their attention to
raising peaches, plums. apricots. nee
tarines, and similar fruit They soon dis
covered that fruit growing yielded a hand
some return. AS Cape Colony's spring and
summer corresponds TO our fall and win
ter they were able to supply the London
market with fruit and during the English
winter and spring, and from this begin
ming the cape fruit trade has expanded.
until now the South African fruit growers
are now only supplying Europe. but this
country. Fine Kelsey plums, direct from
Cape Town, are now on the Washington
market, and peaches and nectarines will
soon follow from the same quarter. In
short South Africa is becoming d COM
petitor of Caliornia in supplying the
eastern markets. for none Of the fruit
growing regions can produce peaches and
plums so early as the cape.
Several other interesting changes have
taken place in the fruit trade of late
years. Two years ago the Juicy and
pleasant tasting Chinese H-chee nuts were
almost unknown in Washington, but they
are now on sale at the best fruit stands.
whose proprietors get them direct from
Shanghai through Chinese importing
firms in New York. Since the Spanish
American war the city Of Barracoa, Cuba,
appears to have gained monopoly of
supplying this country with red bananas,
while California is cutting into the fruit
trade of Florida by placing shaddocks. or
grape fruit on the local markets. Cali
fornia has not as yet succeeded, however,
in taking any of the dried fig trade away
from Turkey Wild fig trees and the in
sect which fertilizes the cultivated hs
were introduced in California by the De-
partment of Agriculture. but the first
dried figs which California placed OF the
market before the wild fig trees and fer
tilizing insects reached state, left such
a bad impression that now that the Cali
fornians are able to produce good figs no
one seems to care for them
Another interesting phase Of the fruit
trade is that although California markets
a considerable portion Of her Malaga
grape crop in the east, the importations
of white grape. from Spain have not
fallen off in the east The reason for this
is due TO the TACT tndl oPdhA IL sAiPPiiie
Malaga grapes to this country all during
the fall and winter, whereas the same
kind of grapes ripen in California IN June.
when few people care for them. The iat-
est California product on the market Is
the ripe olive. ntil the last few years
one had to go to Southern Europe or
California to enjoy the luxury OF ripe ana
unpicked olives. but California 1rul'
grower discovered a process OF putting
them up in hemetically sealed, air-ught
bottles. so that they may now be eaten
without leaving Washington.
OF the novelties in the fruit line, IL is
worth noting that tamarinds are no longer
poplar. They were not in much demand
for lemonade, Americans preferring the
'1emonades" to the one

DEHORNING CATTLE.

A Texas correspondent of Hoard's Dali
ryman says that in his dairy he now has
$50 milk cows and none of them wear
horns Furthermore, no more cattle will
be used on the place until they have been
dehorned Within a year We lost two fine
cows and have had some abortions as the
result of permitting the cattle to wear
horns. The number of cattle which have
been bruised. damned, horned and other
wise injured is considerable. We consider
it a barberous practice to use cows with
horns.
One vicious cow will infiict more pain
in day than will be inflicted by dehorn-
ing a whole herd. In dehorDing more than
$50 cattle we had not a single bad result.
The horns will not grow on our calves
the buttons are taken of. When men be-
come more civilized they win not arm
poor dumb brutes with weapons for in
1icting pain and injury upon themselves
Then too the men who handle the cattle
are entitled to some consideration. Each
man needs two eyes, but if cows have
horns he is liable at any time to lose an
eye or 10 suffer other injury. Dehorned
cattle are gentler. do not fight are more
easily nanuled, keep IN Detter coAullloh
and give more milk and butter.
One bull who was becoming vicious be-
came quite docile when his horns fell off.
1t certainly does improve a bulbs temper
to take away his weapons. Some Jersey
men object to dehorning as the score cards
allow several points for the horns. We
concluded that the points of the horns
was what we principally objected to,
though we object to the entire horn We
use Jerseys and Jersey grades principally.
We get 80 cents for our butter fat and
skim milk we find a sale for also at
good price. Very soon we shall have 120
cows giving milk. We shall run our herd
up to 200 or more COWS later on. 1t is
my plan to do all 1 can to develop the
dairy interests Of NV zactinn

At IAAAANY HALL
Usual Fourth of July Celebra-
ton Is Held
BAILEY OF TEXAS TALKS
Other Noted Democrats Ad-
dress the Society

New York, July 4.-The usual Fourth
OF July celebration was held in Tam
many hall today under the auspices of
the Taznmany society. Grand Sachem
James A. O'Gorman. justice of the SUI
preme court, delivered the address Of
welcome. There were two '1ong talks, -
the first by former Senator Chas. A.
Towns, of Minnesota. the other by Sen
ator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas. Mr..
Towne made a plea for ''the old Amer
icanism." He held that the government
had departed from the high ideal Of its
founders and committed a crime against
the Declaration Of Independence and the
constitution by its treatment Of the
Filipios. The constitution, he contended,
owhere provided for a colonial system.
He said:
This new policy Of colonization Is try
fling to masquerade In the borrowed gar
ments OF Democracy. It has labeled it.
self expansion bat the disguise is trans
parent The new policy il not expansion.
Expansion is the natural and healthful
growth Of an organism The imperial
istic press OF enlargement Is by the ex-
traneous grating Of alien and unsym-
parent life there can never be any or
ganic relation
I'VE are the parting of the ways. The
American people must choose and choose
soon, whether they will allow the ira
ditions OF a century and a quarter to
enter upon the road trodden to their
doom by so many nations that have gone
before, or to make a re-dedication OF this
government to the sublime principles Of
its founders"
Seator Bailey predicted that with the
Democratic party in power there would
be stop to the postoffice department
thefts and concluded by saying:
Even the good Fellowship OF this oc-
casion would not warrant me in saying
that your brothers throughout the coun-
try would applaud or support all you
do. no more than you applaud all we do.
but I speak for heart and conscience for
those united in party bonds when I say
that there never was a time when the
patriots throughout the nation did not
and would not rejoice in the triumph of
Tammany hail.
Replies to the societys invitations were
read from ex-President Cleveland, Judge
Alton B. Parker, Ex-Governor D. R.
Francis. ex-senator D. B. Hill Senator
j. w. Daniel. w. j. Brya and others.
Ex-senator Hill predicted a political rev.
olution in the near future. He said the
election of Democratic mayor in this city
next fall would be the opening gun for a
Democratic victory IN the state and ma
ton in 1904
The program ended with Short talks
by Champ Clark of Missouri and Con-
gresham VIM. Sulzer, among others.

At the hearing In the justice court
yesterday, c. w. Perkins and f. w.
Lues of Lafayette. California, were the
witnesses for the state. Their testi-
mony was to the effect that Books
true name was Lane, and that he had
been lame for ten years or more. Lues
testified that Book. or Lane, had at one
time exhibited the knee to him and
remarked that he could fool any doctor
with 1t. Book had also told Lues, the
testimony went. that he had received
$500 In 1890 from merchant for the
