State Mineralogist Aubury has just
issued relief and mineral map of CAL
ifornia for the guidance of all persons
in the mineral resources Of this State.
1t is of large size, on cloth and of
sufficient scale to be understood and
to be generally useful.
Succeeding and supplementary to a
long series of mining bulletins and
county registers that have been is
sued from the State Mining Bureau
the mineral map is more valuable to
mining men than any hitherto exist
ing The publication is used to an ex-
tent to advertise California On the
map are published the statistics con-
corning the States mineral output In
1903. The total reaches the respectable
figures of $37, ,040. OF this sum the
precious metals claim $16,s89, ,666. All
mineral substances, including gold and
silver, amounted to $20,S56,66 The
non-metallic substances were valued at
$2,04S,63S The hydrocarbons and gases
amounted in value to $7,s45. .27S, and the
structural materials to $6.9OS, ,463.
To sum up. it appears that the pre-
cious metals were less than one-half
of the whole, and the oil fields and
structural deposits produced only ST.
1S6.020 less than the gold mines.
The new mineral map is remarkable
in that it shows, at a glance, the ex-
tensive distribution of mineral and
other deposits. This is accomplished
by the use of a color scheme and of
distinctive signs, which are placed for
reference. The claim is made good
that California is mineralized from end
to end and that nearly every county
has mineral deposits of size
Among the revelations relating to
quicksilver, for instance. is the pictor-
tally illuminated fact that there are
cinnabar deposits in Del Norte, Siski-
you, Shasta, Kings and Santa Barbara
counties, in addition to the counties of
Santa Clara, San BenIto, Monterey
Napa, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma and
quicksilver has been a matter of more
common knowledge. Ell Dorado County
also has quicksilver.
Copper deposits are marked in green.
These are distributed as plentifully as
gold deposits. scores of counties having
gold. Something new is the designa-
ton of the saline deposits of the State
In detail. These are remarkably dis
tributed. The four principal substances
are borax, salt, soda and inter. OF
course the regionseof Death Valley
figures largely in the showing relative
to the salines. Salt deposits are cred

Popular Type of Millinery.

Among the most popular hat shapes
in Paris are those known as Varennes
True, they have been worn through
out the summer, but with lower
crowns than those now appearing In
many cases the crown is conical or
funnel shaped, and it is point to be
observed that the trimming will con-
sist of double band of velvet in
two shades, leaving the upper part of
the crown visible, and a plume of
three feathers will be pinned in the
center of the front. and caught with a

Coat Trimmings.

Plain broadcloth and serge coats in
one tone, especially the dark shades,
are enliyened by white collars and
cuffs braided with either gold or sill
yer galloon. Many women continue to
believe that the taffeta coat, whether
lined or unlined, is the best for motor
ing They shed the dust, and if the
quality of silk is good they will last
one or two seasons. They are often
interlined, not only with lighter
weight taffeta. but a light flannel
placed between the two silks. A new
model in pongee is built with a series
of capes, three in number. The gar
ment proper is semi-fitting and the
deepest cape falls a trif1e below the
elbows and one and all of them are
confined to the body or the garment by
buttons and straps. In fact, all three
capes are made separate and one or
two or all of them can be worn or not.

stitched. with possible ornamentation
of braiding or lace, is one of the most
successful garments of the hour Of
tentimes a bit of color is introduced
into the coats in the collar or in the
cuffs. Each week more cloth coats are
seen, but these for the most part are
the three-quarter length garment,
loose and roomy and cut on rather
mannish lines. One of the new coats
is chiefly noticeable for the huge pock-
cts which are set on each side of the
front just below the line of the bust.
Another cloth coat has an odd cape
passing over the shoulders, but rum
ming into the seams on each side of a
box plait in the back. The knit home
spuns are also in evidence. The best
model has full belted back and loose
front, which may be either worn open
or buttoned back. The belt slips
through the side seams and passes un-
der the front.

The Growing of Sugar eeets.

The sugar beet is not very particu-
lar as to the soil in which it grows
and has a wider range of service in
this regard than have the grains The
best soil is one that is rich and loamy,
but as a general thing any kind OF
soil that will produce grains will pro-
duce beets. Soils that have in them
so much alkaH that they will not pro-
duce good crops of grain may yet pro-
duce good crops of beets.
Flowing may be done either spring
or fall, but the better plan is to plow
in the fall On some of the lighter
soils subsoiling to depth of eighteen
inches is practiced- When the plow-
ing is done in the spring it should
be just before planting that the soil
may be fresh and moist for the re-
ception of the best seed Subsoiling
is IN vogue in some parts of the coun-

Coat With Vest Front.

Fitted coats with vest fronts are
among the newest and smartest shown
and are very generally becoming.
This one includes also the new
sleeves, which are full at the shoul-
ders, and a novel Follower collar that
is extended down the fronts. AS IL
Illustrated the material is wood brown
broadcloth with the vest or white
cloth and the trimmings of velvet, but
all suiting materials and all materials
in vogue for coats of the sort are
equally appropriate. The long lines,
that are given by the seams that ex-
tend to the shoulders, are peculiarly
desirable as they tend to give taper
ing effect to the figure
The coat is made with fronts, that
are cut in two portions each, backs,
side-backs and underarm cores, the
vest being separate and attached un-
der the fronts on indicated lines. The
sleeves are made in two portions each
and are finished with roll-over cuffs

HOPTICJlIPE!
Fruit Shippers Association.

w. III. Owen, president of a co-opera-
tive fruit shippers association in
Ohio, in talk to Ontario fruit men,
sad: Peach-shipping associations
have been operated with more or less
success throughout the peach belt OF
Michigan and Ohio. but in shipping in
carload lots, although complying with
rigid rules laid down by the associa-
tion, there was an Objectionable feat
ure TO the trade, and that was the
lack of uniformity of grades and pack
ing. To be more explicit on this point,
you have all probably visited some of
the various markets during the peach
season, and have noticed the very
great difference prevailing in grades of
different packs. That is, some pack
ers' b or Xxx grades were just as
good as some other packers A or XXX
grade. Therefore, the grade marks of
the general run of consigned fruit,
where not put up by one set of hands,
as rule, are not of very great as
sistance to the purchaser, and he still
is obliged to resort to his own judg-
ment and eyesight in his selections.
Now, for shipper to make up car
load OF this indiscriminate packing, OF
fruit, where it is packed by many
growers, each contributor having a
different way and idea of how peach
es should be packed and the kind OF
packages used-conceding that they
are all honestly packed-how is the
shipper going to bill that indiscrim-
mate lot of fruit, and can he warrant
the packing? This serious objection
OF lack of uniformity confronted the
Michigan fruit growers, and has re-
suited in the adoption of the central
packing house system by their prin-
cipal association. This system was
originated and established in the
peach industry at Catawba Island,
Ohio, in 1891, and it has resulted in
untold savings and benefits to the
peach grower wherever the system
has been adopted. The mere ship
ping association, where each grower
prepares his own fruit and delivers
it to the association, by which it is
shipped with other packs and pack
ages, either in carload or local ship
ments, is step in advance over the
old or individual method of shipment;
but the central packing house system
is much greater step in advance
over the mere shipping association
The old adage of, I'm union there is
strength is most aptly exemplified
through the many advantages that
may be attained through an organiza-
ton of fruit growers, organized for
the purpose of bettering their condi-
tions in shipping and marketing their
fruit. The many discouraging prob
lens that confront the grower in the
satisfactory marketing of his product,
l believe, are satisfactorily solved
through the adoption of the central
packing house system. At least, such
has been my observation through the
management of such a company for
the past twelve years.

Cleaning the Milk Can.

Washing soda is extensively used
in the cleaning of milk cans. good
solution is one pound of soda and 20
gallons of water. This is a strong
germicida1 agent If it is applied
boiling hot, so much the better, as
the intense heat aids the soda in its
work of germ destroying. Cans that
have been cleaned with this should
be finally rinsed out with water that
has been boiled. The rinsing out with
cold unboi1ed water is frequently a
source of germ supply and tends to
neutralize the work of germ destruc-
ton in the first cleansing of the cans

Soy Beans.
(Glycine hiSDida1

The name Soy bean is used more
commonly than Sofa bean. although
either is correct. The Soy bean came
originally from Japan in the early part
of the last century, but has received
no particular attention in this coun-
try until within the past dozen years.
1t has, however, more extended
reign in the northern states than the
COW pea, being "a little more hardy
and ripening it's seeds in a shorter
season The Soy bean grows in an
upright branching stalk from one to
three feet high. The growth of leaves
is quite luxuriant. They are irreg-
ular in shape and drop off when the
plants become ripe. The numerous
pods are fiat, brown and fuzzy, con-
tanning from two to four seeds. The
beans are f1attened, round, about the
shape though smaller than the navy
bean, and vary in color according to
the variety. There are great many
varieties of this plant, from the dwarf
which grows short stalks, bearing
great quantities of small seeds, to the
long branching sorts having tenden-
cy to climb, and which do not produce
their seeds in northern latitudeS. The
Soy bean will grow well on any of our
Michigan soils, although it responds
to good soil, moisture and favorable
conditions for growth. On light sandy
soil it develops an immense growth
of root tubercles and will make a
growth far in advance of any nom
1eguminous plant. If given a good
supply of moisture during the first six
weeks of its growth, it will withstand
and continue to grow vigorously dur
ing the severe summer drought 1t,
like the cow peas, should be sown
after the danger of spring frosts. and
will probably give the best returns
when ,sown in drills, with the seeds
dropped singly about three inches
apart, the rows being from two to two
and a half feet apart.
Mr.. Edward E. Evans OF West
Branch, Mich, who has been growing
Soy beans for green manure, forage
and seed, writes regarding their cul-
ture as follows:
"On rich soils COW peas and true
peas run to vines, producing very lit
tie seed. On such soil the Soy pro-
duces a proportionately larger crop OF
both plant and seed. In growing
Soys the same general rules that ap-
ply to white field beans should be fol-
lowed. 1t must be borne in mind,
however, that Soys form their first
pods about four or five inches from
the point at which the seed was plant
ed. For this reason they should be
covered only deep enough to insure
termination. They can be planted
with a corn or bean planter, or grain
drill."-Michigan Station.

Cherry sudded on own Roots.

A well known horticulturist says
that he never gratis the cherry on it's
own roots; for he finds in case of do
ing that that the root sprouts and
sends up a new growth and the orig
inal scion dies. This of course pre-
vents the using of the variety involved
and gives a worthless Seeding instead.
1t is better to plant trees that have
been budded on MaZZard or Mahafeb
stock, which will never sprout. One
of the most annoying conditions of
cherry growing will then have been
done away with. ALI of the substance
taken from the soil will go into the
main tree instead of into a sprout, and
the tree will keep on growing.
Where orchards have been planted
too closely the only way to improve
conditions is to cut out every other
row and then thin the limbs of the
trees where needed An orchard SO
treated will frequently produce more
and better fruit than it did before the
cutting out of half of the trees.

Uniformity in fruit packing is de-
sired. as buyers are constantly looking
for uniform packing instead of un-
uniform packing. The buyer does not
know what price he can afford to pay
for consignment that is not uniform
and so pays the smallest possible
price.

try, but has not seemed to give very
satisfactory results in others. At the
Colorado experiment station subsoil-
ing increased the yield eighteen per
cent
The time to plant is as early as the
land can be well fitted and the dan
ger of heavy frost is passed. 1t is
generally conceded that early planting
gives the largest crops. When the
soil is in good condition the seed may
be planted to a depth of from one
inch to an inch and a half. 1t Is not
advisable to plant any deeper than
this. II the soil is very wet the seed
should be planted still nearer the sur
face OF the ground.
There are two ways OF planting
beets, one in single rows and one in
double rows. The single rows should
be about 18 to 20 inches apart. II
double rows are used the usual prac-
tice is to have the two rows of the
double row about IL or II inches
apart and have the double rows them
selves from two feet to 81 inches
apart. This is chiefly advantageous
where the beets are to be irrigated.
One of the difficult things in beet
growing is to get good stand of
beets- Experienced planters SOW as
high as eighteen and twenty pounds
of beet seed to the acre, though here
and there good crops have been OBJ
tanned by sowing as low as five
pounds of seed. The larger quantity
is however safest
Beets are not permitted to dry out
after being dug, as this decreases the
amount of sugar in them. Also beets
should not be stored in a place where
they can sprout, as this process about
ruins them for sugar making.
