RICH GOLD STRIKE
los Angeles Capitalists Find Ore in Arizona
 That Runs Into Fancy Figures.

Gen. Edward Bouton has just re- ceived report from superintendent Watson of the White Eagle Mining company, operating in Yuma county, Ariz., reciting the facts of a splended new strike of gold ore in the War Eagle ledge, near Empire Flats. A sample sack was assayed in Los An geles yesterday, giving returns of Sl657 g in gold to the ton.
 Watson writes that the ledge is seven feet wide and will average $50 per ton, while streak varying from eight to thirty inches in width gives returns up into the thousands.
 The White Eagle company was re- cently formed by Gen. Bouton, w. L. Valentine and James H. Watson for the purpose of developing the large acreage owned by these gentlemen on the olorado River below the Needles. Many rich strikes have been reported from this section since active work was begun, but this latest find eclipses all previous ones.-Los Angeles Times.

GirdlinR Of Grapevines.

The girdling or ringing of grapevines
is done to increase the size of each clus-
ter. It is not practiced exclusively.
however, although some find the method
profitable. The bark is entirely re-
moved below the fruit cluster about q
month before the period of ripening,
which hastens ripening about week
or two in advance, and enlarges the
bunch and berries. The sap ascends
through the pores of the wood to sus-
tain growth, but the elaborated sap de-
sends through the wood and the bark,
and can go no lower than the point at
which the girdle is made, where it stops
and is utilized in feeding the grapes.
Some injury is done the vine below the
grdle, and it may not pay to girdle on

MORE BIRD EXPERIENCE.
Spare the sSOngsters That You May
Eat of Your Fruit and Have.
Music with the Meal.

It was q kind-hearted farmer in the
Michigan fruit belt who turned the noz-
zle Of the insect spraying hose away
from plum tree in which robin With
an appealing eye had its nest. The hus-
bandman used the hose on all his other
plum trees, but when he came to pick
his crop, 10, the robin tree yielded four
fold that of the others. The kindly
farmer saw a great light, and now says
it would be we'll if every plum tree bore
a robins nest.
The cold scientist will tell the farmer
that the robins did not eat largely of the
pests which preyed on his plums, for
the robin CLEANS mostly from the
ground, but the scientist will add that
the sparing of the tree from the poison
spray made it the dining-table of hun
dreds of birds, which like insects, but
do not wish them served with poison
sauce. One songster is worth two

In consequence Of q poor apple croE
in 1902 and nearly . failure this year In
France. large quantities OF American
dried apples are being imported into the
republic. The American apples are be-
ing used for cider making and culinary
purposes. The imports Of chopped ap'
pies for cider In 1902 totaled 3,071 tons
against 1858 tons In 1901. The imports
Of evaporated American apples In 1902
were PAL tons. against s194 tons In 1901
and 4O2 tons in 1900. There has been an
enormous increase the current year, a.
the bureau of statistics shows that fot
the first eight months of 1903 the i'm
ports Of chopped, apples reached the
grand proportions of 5000 tons against
/ 300 tons In 1901. The imports Of evap-
Grated apples for the same period ag-
gregated 4S0 tons, as against 134 tons for
the corresponding dates in 1901. Owing
to the partial failure Of apples in France
this season the American evaporated
apples have found ready sale, being
widely distributed in new foreign mar
kets. :,
The short apple harvest in France, as
we'll as short grape crop, make green
apples extraordinarily high and wine
also dearer than it has been in many sea-
sons. For this reason large export OF
chopped apples and evaporated fruit has
been contracted for by French bimporters.
All indications warrant q large export
of American fruit to France, particularly
apples. The chopped apples will be made
into cider to supply the deficit In the
wine output of 1903.
American producers are offered the
opportunity of enlarging the export Of
chopped apples, and shippers should
take the precaution to see that the fruit
is thoroughly dried before putting into
packages for export. The quality OF
American apples received at Havre has
been good and gave excellent satisfac-
tion to consumers.
The American fruit industry is ex-
panding rapidly as large tracts OF land
especially adapted to orcharding are now
being cultivated by a system Of scien-
tiflc irrigation. The United States ex-
cells all other countries in the excellence
of her apples, and with the increased
acreage of archards is. now raising more
than enough of this fruit to supply do
nestle consumption. For several sea-
sons England has been liberal Gus
toner for American apples, and it is to
be regretted that greater efforts have
not been made to export fresh apples
to France. Conditions are particularly
favorable the present season to establish
a reputation for American apples
abroad, and for the advantage of the
future fruit industry producers should
enlarge their exports this season. There
is large crop of choice commercial ap-.
pies this year, and If portion of the
surplus was exported to France 1t would
contribute largely in establishing sta
