GROWING ASPARAGUS.

Days of Spring When Growth

A grower of asparagus writes: Firs,

MINES IN CALIFORNIA.
Only Three Counties Out of the En-
tire Array of Fifty-Seven
Make No Showing.

There are only three California coun-
ties out of the entire array of 81 that
will not make showing in the statistics
of mineral output for the year 1902. Sew
eral of the counties that are discovered
to have mineral wealth are not repre-
sented by large figures of actual produc
ton. That is according to expectation.
But, considering the area of this state,
says the San Francisco Call, its length
and breadth, there is no country on earth
that can be shown to be as uniformly
mineralized throughout practically its
entire extent. Among the surprises con-
tanned in the statistics to be submitted
by the state mining bureau will be the
figures of the value of the total output
of petroleum in California for 1902. The
production was very large, but when the
price at the wells ranges from Is to 25
cents a barrel for fuel oil it does not,
comparatively speaking, require large
figures to show what it sold for in total
in the market. The total gold output for
two counties far surpasses the value in
the market of all the oil produced in the
state during the year of 1902. While the
price of oil has continued to be low,
the value of silver, which is of great in

WHERE HEBREW IS SPOKEN.
Two Societies Exist in New York City
for It's Preservation as
Live Language.

To those who think of Hebrew as p.
dead language, it will be a surprise to.
learn that there are a number of so-
cieties in this city whose affairs are
conducted in classic Hebrew, says the
New York Post. The two most inn
portant of these organizations are the
Ohole Shem association and the Mephit-
gay Sfas Eber. In the former the Older
element predominates; in the latter the
young people.
The great movement among Hebralsts
in Russia to rejuvenate the Hebrew
speech and promote its literature found
ready and willing response from Q
few young men and women, residents
of the East Side, who. about year
and a half ago, organized the Mephitzay
Sfas Eber (Hebrew Culture society. Its
continually increasing membership now
numbers about 10. The society meets
every Sunday evening at eight O'Clock
in the Educational Alliance, and demon
strates that the Hebrew language Is a
living tongue, for all business and lit
erary discussions are carried on in the
classic diction Of the prophets. The So
ciety has opened classes for the instruc-
ton of Hebrew in English, which have

REGARDING PEAR BLIGHT.
Eradicate the Germs by Cutting and
Burning All Infected Twigs
and Branches.

The New Jersey state horticultural
report gives hints in regard to pear
blight, which those who are intending
to plant out pear orchards, or who
have them, will do well to bear in
mind. The first caution is to manure
and cultivate the tree SO that it will not
grow too rapidly. Trees that are highly
fortified with heterogeneous manures are
especially liable 10 blight. This would
bar out heavy manuring with horse,
sheep or hen manure, and the blowing
under of clover, COW peas, rape or al
most any green crop. Manure only
sufficiently to secure good crop and
no more.
Exterminate the blight germs by cut
ting and burning all infected twigs and
branches as soon as seen. Do the same

crab, mountain ash, service berry and
hawthorn. as it is the same disease and
will spread to nearby trees. and some
times a quarter of a mile at least In IA
vorable winds. Cut them out when seen.
and make thorough inspection and
clean up before spring. Then keep a
sharp outlook when the leaves start
for any place missed or where cutting
was not deep enough. Then cut two or
three inches below any wood that seems
diseased. and Keep the knife sterilized
by dipping in a diluted solution of ar
bolic acid--Midland Farmer.

Scale Bark ON Fruit Trees.

The gradual thickening of bark on
trees is often objected to as an evidence
of unthriftiness. But it almost always
comes on trees when they get to be of
bearing age, and. except for harboring
the cocoons of the codling moth. it does
no harm. Scraping this bark off through
the winter removes the protection. and
the cocoon. exposed to snow and rain,
perishes. These cocoons will be usually
found on the side opposite where the
prevailing wind blows. as this is partly
protected against beating rains. Only
the bark that readily comes of should
be removed. Scraping the trunk down
to the green bark will cause some kinds
Of trees to sun scald, and is injurious.
Make the tree grow vigorously. and the
rough bark will roll OF of itself or with
very little effort--Americap Cultiyator.

PIant an Acre of Trees.

Did you ever think how valuable an
acre of ground can be made by planting
it thickly with trees, thus forming a
grove in which to feed hogs? Plant IL
into trees that grow rapidly and form
plenty of shade. The most valuable
acres on some farms are handled in this
manner. Catalpa and locust are very
suitable, and when a few posts are need
Cd they may be cut from; besides the
hogs can be fed away from the sum-
meris sun.-farm Journal

them, so that the knife will not be
dulled when cutting them. If not
ready to use them at once they should
be kept in moss or sawdust in moist
place at temperature as near 80 de-

Scions should be cut and stored in

Get Irvine or coarse, strong thread
saturated by drawing it through hot

cheap tape one-half inch wide waxed in
the same way for tying and covering
the grated surface. Use a thin, sharp
knife, ground with the bevel on one
side, as shown by section in Fig. 2. A
common shoe knife is generally ost
satisfactory After grinding, the edge
should be made fine and keen upon
hone or oil stone, so as to make clean
cut, as success depends more upon the
condition of the knife than any other
one thing.
When all is ready with roots, scions,
knife, string and waxed cloth or on a
bench and seated in chair of just the
right height, root is taken in hand
and a cut made at the collar, a, Fig. l.
as shown in Fig. 8, the point a show

scion is then taken up and a similar

the root and scion are placed together

which the scions are cut and fitted to
them. Tying is often done after sew
eral hundred CRAFTS have been made.
After the gratis are all made and
waxed, they are packed in sand, in
boxes, so that they shall stand upright
until planting time. The box, a little
deeper than the length of the CRAFTS, is
placed on the end or side and a thin
layer of moist sand or soil spread over
it. Then layer Of gratis is put on
this, then more sand, pressing it very
firmly about the gratis, especially
when the cuts come together, and so
on until the box is full or all the crafts
packed, when it should be placed in an

The CRAFTS keep and make the best
