Up-Country Pests

The report of the horticultural con- missioners of Sacramento County for 1903 contains the following points of general interest. There is no apparent increase of insect pests. The brown apricot scale has entirely disappeaerd from the American river section. The parasite Comys fusca is now so we'll established in the Sacramento and Consumes river districts that in. a short time this county will be rid of the brown apricot scale. The parasite however, leaves with the disappearance of the scale, and would have to be re- introduced in case tLe pest returned. The codling moth is the most serious pest, and its eradication is not pro- gressing satisfactorily. The peach moth is found only where spraying has been neglected. The pear scab was very prevalent during the 1903 season, causing loss for shipping purposes of one third to one half of the crop.

Turkey Talk

All our domestic fowls have been bred from wild ancestors but the very nature of the chicken, for instance, is to scratch for it's food, do limited amount of rambling around in search of grains and seeds, but it goes no great distance, hence we can confine them to limited quarters, giving them chance to dig for buried food and obtain the required exercise. With the turkey it is different. He can be taught to do some scratching for food, especially the old ones; but we do not remember of ever seeing a poult scratching for anything. By nature they roam over pastures, fields,
 meadows and woodland being most desirable haunts. They are true scav- sngers of insect life; grasshoppers,

Now Comes the Citrage

At the St. Louis meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Horti- cultural Science, Dr. Webber of the department of agriculture presented some of the results which he had ob- tained in breeding hardy oranges. One of these classes, resulting from crosses of a common'cultivated variety and the hardy trifoliate, has been named the citrange. The fruits are about the size of tangerine orange, and have thin skin, are very juicy and are nearly seedless. The texture of the pulp is all that could be de- sired, but the fruit is rather sour. In flavor citranges are more like lemons or lines than oranges, but they resem- ble no other fruit in existence. Another of these hybrids is the tang elo, cross of the tangerine orange and the pomelo or grape fruit. It is really kid glove grape fruit. It should not be cut, but the skin should be removed with the fingers and the segments dipped into sugar and eaten. Both of these fruits are new creations in the strictest sense of the word. They are both much harder than the common orange and can probably be grown 200 miles farther north. Dr. Webber believes that these two hy- brids, with others of their kind, will prove to be progenitors of whole races of new citrus fruits and that in ten or fifteen years we shall have hardy edible oranges.

The matching and rearing of fowls rearing of fowls for their eggs and meat is business of much detail but it is very simple, says Poultry Topics. Anyone can achieve some degree of success along that line without finding it necessary to know much, but the ultra practical poultry keeper never originates and develops anything new and progressive that will enable others to advance higher; he has not the time. Specialists have developed the incubator until now there are many good ones, and the brooder, until now we have very small number that are what they should be.
 They have also devised machines that make fresh bones practically available as a food for pure- bred. poultry, which have also been brought

THE MINISTERS WIPES HAT.
Why "The Perfect Dream" Is Now
 Hidden Away In the Attic.

In Chicago there is little wife of a minister who will never again wear her new hat-until few days ago the pride of her heart. She wore 1t to @ funeral the other day and new it is hidden securely in the attic. The hat was a beautiful aggregation of violets, floral dream. When the little woman entered the house of mourning where her husband was to officiate, she placed the hat on stand near the casket. The undertaken came in few minutes later to arrange the floral tokens" He piled the casket high with wreaths, gates ajar broken pillars and crosses, and then, as the piece de resistance, he placed the woman's hat at the very apex, the crowning glory of the whole display, supposing 1t to be one of the choicest of the tokens" sent. The minister's wife nearly tainted and 8 number of the women were cruel enough to giggle audibly. At the con- clusion of the services the lady grab. bed her hat and hurried homeward. 1t has since been in retirement and prob ably will never again be brought out to make the hearts of her sisters green with envy.

California Congressman Speaks on Bill Providing for PomolOgical Investigation on Pacific Coast Appealing for Aid

Washington.-In the house MT. Bell of California, taking up the paragraph in the agricultural appropriations bill providing for pomological investiga- tions, announced that he would pro- pose an amendment providing for an increased appropriation for this work. and made strong appeal for aid for the vineyards of California and the Pacific coast.
 MT. Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, one of the youngest members of the house. made determined and persist ent effort to bring about a reform in the matter of distribution of seeds by the government, but the bill was left just as the committee brought it in so far as seeds for free distribution were concerned
 This was the only item in the agri- cultural appropriation bill that aroused serious discussion, and with a few minor amendments the bill was passed by the house without division.
 MT. Lucking of Michigan made an unsuccessful effort to secure an amendment to the bill so as to restrict the distribution of black leg vaccine by the agricultural department Dur ing the discussion on the proposed amendment MT. Burleson of Texas read the following extract from the testimony given by Secretary Wilson before the committee of agriculture relative to black leg.
 An amendment was adopted to pre- vent the adulteration of grass seeds.
 A lively discussion over the appro- priation for seeds for free distribution followed. MT. Sheppard of Texas made determined effort to secure an amendment to the section. He was successful in securing the elimination on a point of order of the section of . the item providing for the distribution of the seeds because of a single para graph relating to the method of franking, which the chair held to be subject to point of order.
 MT. Lind of Minnesota, in criticism of the present seed system, read from an official report to show that of $270,- 450 expended in the distribution of seeds, something like $100,000 went to defray the expenses of the distribu- tion. MT. Shafroth of Colorado vigor- ously defended the present system of distribution, pointing out the benefits observed in his own state.
 MT. Hepburn of Iowa proposed an amendment to the paragraph provid- ing for public road inquiry, so as to appropriate $55,000 instead of $35,000, and urged it's adoption, but it was lost on vote.
 The agricultural appropriation bill was then passed.

Raising Chicks

Agricultural Editor of The Herald: In regard to the diffiucltiAs attending the raising of fowls in this climate my beliet is there are some disadvan- tages yet many advantages far more than the east. In the first place, when difficulties arise, try to overcome them, is my motto. Use common sense, as suggested in former note Now here are some fowls placed in our care to raise; how shall we begin? Study the case if you are inexperi- enced. What shall they eat? comes first. Not cooked beans, mush or meat. Not milk, as one writer said he did not believe it necessity as some declare, because he never knew a hen who gave milk. That was bright thing for him to declare, and true. Now, don't everyone know who ever saw, fowls feed that they care most for grain and insects, with plenty of green stuff. Now here goes one who says: can supply the grain but can't hatch insects as 1 do the chicks. Very well, then get substitute. Some Say don't feed anything in the shape of meat but lean; no fat. Wrong again. Here is another place to do little thinking; are insects, worms and grasshoppers lean? Far from it; they are nearly all oil. Then feed them some fat. It does not need to be meat, but drippings of sweet lard will answer; mix with any food so they will eat it. Don't think 1 .mean not to feed fresh meat, for it is fine thing if properly fed; but it is rather expensive, and when feeding large flock it is unhandy. Little chicks are bound to have some greasy food For many will die from Indigestion, which l contend carries away more chicks than anything else. Don't forget greens, for they must have them to do we'll; few punches of lettuce or tur- nip tops or raw Irish potatoes chopped fine are all excellent for the vegetable course. Now don't fali to supply the gravel and sand.
 If big or little chicks fall sick the first thing to do m ordinary cases is to give laxative. olive oil or castor oil, with few sops of paregoric; then feed them, for droopy chick will stand around and starve to death for want of energy to eat. I take chicks who refuse to eat and poke bread pills down them; here use some fine gravies mixed with the pill. Force a few bites down them, then let them rest for few hours and go after them again. This is particularly recom- mended for chicks blind with the roup.-L. A. Herald.

EXONE CRATES CARTER.
Declaration Made that Former Captain
Did Not Get a Cent Of Money
WrongfulIy-May Shift Suit.

1.-THE government has never confis-
Gated any Of the property of former
Captain Oberlin M. Carter" declared
Horace G. Stone, of Chicago, attorney
for Carter, who arrived in Savannah,
Ca, Saturday from Quebec, Canada.
"All that property is held under
receivership established with the con-
sent of the government, and it is TO
revert to Captain Carter just as soon
as the latter can establish his inno-
cence of the charges Of conspiracy
upon which he was convicted and sent
20 Leavenworth for five years.
'"This trusteeship will end early next
year, when we have a trial before
Judge Kohlsaat in Chicago. Then
Captain Carriers innocence will be es'
tablished and he will get HIS property.
Il am just from Quebec, where /
saw Greene and Gaynor. Greene told
me himself that Carter had received
not one cent from the Savannah har-
Dor contracts and that he Eas abso.
lutely innocent. Greene told me that,
of course, l would understand that he
could not profit anyway by saying
this, and that the evidence would go
for naught, but that he was neverthe-
less ready to swear it in the interest
of truth and right"
Stone is in Savannah to take testi-
mony before the United States COM
missioner with the view of submitting
it to Judge KOhlsaat.
When the innocence of former Cap
tain Carter is proven. as Attorney
Stone declares it will be, the govern
ment will shift its suits against the
possessions of Carter and seek to, re
cover from the estate of R. F. West
colt, father in law of Carter.
The action against the estate of the
late Westcott will be based, it is said,
upon the alleged relations between
Westcott and Greene and Gaynor that
would render Westcott liable for the
amounts secured from the government
by fraud.
It is said to be certain that, Carter
establishing his innocence, as Stone is
convinced he will do, the government
will proceed against the Westcott cs-
tate.
