brandy, vinegar, grape syrup, very

The grape furnishes also important
by-products. Feed and fertilizer are
produced from the pomace, also acetic
acid. The seeds are separated from the
pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up, they are used as a
substitute for coffee A high grade oil
similar to olive oil is also produced
from the seeds. which, among other
thiogs, make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.
Mr.. Husn,ann estimates that If all the
wastes Of the grape crop were utilized
extra returns would increase it's value
fully 10 per cent, which, with our pres
ent grape production to the value Of
about $15,000,000, would mean an adj
ditional earning of million and a half,

remoter regions of the Southwest or the
distant Northwest.
No expert can estimate accurately the
gains that will come this year to the
farmers, the surplus that will be left
for them after paying expenses, which
represents their profits. Some Of the
most experienced experts have ventured
to estimate that the farmers Of the
United States this year as a whole will
find themselves to the good by not less
than $300,000,000, and possibly $780,
100000. These are the gains as we'll as

companies expect to receive for carry

These were cultivated vines. Doubt
less native vines grow to much great
er ages.
The viticulturist Of the Department
Of Agriculture, George G. Husmann,
states that he has never seen vine

Astounding in our forests that has diel
from the effects of age. Some old grape
vines grow to immense size. There is
a wild grape vine on the shores Of Mo-
bile Bay under which Andrew Jackson
twice pitched his tent in his cam
paigns against the Seminoles, which
has circumference Of over six feet,
with supposed age Of about 100 years.
The Size of Great Tree.
The largest known grape vine in the
world was planted in California in
1912. It has made phenomenal
growth. Beneath it's spreading branches,
which cover nearly half an acre, 800
persons can find protection from the
tons Of grapes for crop and the cir
conference Of it's trunk is eight feet.
While the wine industry is by far the
most important feature of grape grow
ing, enormous quantities Of table
grapes are raised and by means of i'm
proved transportation facilities sent to
all parts of the country The Con-
cords, the Delawares and the Niagaras
come from the North, the Scuppernongs
from the South and the Flame Tokays

the Pacific coast.

'"The grape Is the poor mans fruit, es-

the smallest possible dimensions. He can
plant vines beside his cottage and their
roots will extend and profitably occupy
every inch of ground underneath 1t and

inexpensive, reliable power on the
farm and around the home is becom-
ing more and more desirable these
days when unskilled labor is so high
and hard to procure. Gasoline engines,
which when started practically take
care Of themselves, are rapidly sup
planting steam engines and horse pow
er, the operation of which requires con-
slant attention. The difference in the
cost of operating and the advantage Of
starting at moments notice has ad-
vanced the popularity Of gasoline en-
gines where comparatively small power
is required in contrast with other
power devices.
A few years ago we heard but little
about gasoline engines for use on the
farms, while to-day we find many Of
them on up-to-date farms and small
business plants. This growing inter-
est has been brought about largely
through the improvements that have

Chinese IS Cash."
Consular ranorts from Ch;n

Consular reports from China are to
the effect that the prospect Of a re-
form or rather revolution in the money
system of that Empire is not very
bright in spite of the promises to that
end which have been made. There are
a number of influential elements pre-
venting the change which nations do
ing business in China have asked,
among others the bankers who profit
by the great variations in values Of
the same kind Of coins in different
cities as well as the provincial officials
who mint them. The money of the
people is still brass and copper, and to
Introduce a new system will be diff
cult owing to the dread on the part Of
the public Of anything new. Gold
and silver may continue to control the
price paid for exports, but copper and
brass will for a long time govern pro-
ductiOn.

been made by manufacturers during
late years in simplifying the working
parts Of the engines so that the aver
age man can operate them with the
ease of an expert. AS a matter Of fact,
bright boy can handle a modern gas
oline engine with but little teaching.
Take the farmer who has never seen
a gasoline engine and let him start and
stop one few times and study some
Of the principles of operating it
and in a few days he will become as
familiar with it's workings as he would
with team of horses or a tread-mill.
The general usefulness of a machine
of this sort on a farm is apparent.
There is ensilage to cut, wood to saw,
feed to grind, corn to shell, water to
pump, in fact a multitude of things
that can be done with gasoline en-
gine at small expense.

THE KING AND THE BANKER.

The king having sent to Mustapha Johnston, the banker, to ask if it was convenient for him to advance forty 1 thousand sequins for thirty days. Mus tapha appeared at the palace and said: ''I should like to loan thee the mon ey, O king, but just now my cOTers are empty"
 "Sayest thou SO, Mustapha, If his be true then the rumor that thou vast lending money to my enemies to make war on me ought to be investigated"
 Such humors are base islanders, O ruler"

if any, they have entered into reIa- tive to printing the proceedings Of the house and also printing the reports of territorial officers and what rates they have contracted for, if aBy at all"
 Ordinarily the resolution would have been defeated. but in this case MT. Cobb Of the committee recommended its adoption and when it was done he submitted a report that the committee had done nothing. Mir. Wilson sug- gested that this volummous report be put in writing
 But as a matter of fact the commit tee has done something though it had not finished it's labors at the time of the introduction of the resolution. Nor has it yet finished it's work, but it has gone to the extent of minimizing the graft which has hitherto brought more or less disgrace on Arizona Ieigsla- lures. This movement in the direction of economy has been urged by The Re publican since the beginning of the ses- sion. The committee has decided that it will pay less for printing than any of it's pre- decessors. It has offered a lump sum of $2,5O0 for the printing of the re- ports of territorial officials and for printing the proceedings of the Icgis- latures. The Twenty second IegisIa- ture paid $54OO for the same work and other legislatures have paid more. The gentlemen who have been skiTmishing for the printing will be allowed to do the work for this or let it alone.
 The committee believes also that it will not be necessary to print a re- port of the territorial university in as much as that institution issues a reg ister which contains all the matter that a report would contain.
 Speaking of resolutions, another will probably be introduced today or soon after the reassembIiug of the legisIa- ture. It will aim at the hoary headed custom followed by Arizona publish
