ifornia is $1.l5 per 100 pounds. which
equals about so cents a box, contain
ing from eight dozen large to eighteen
dozen small oranges. and there is a
refrigeration charge Of 20 cents box
The price Of oranges at the New York
auction now ranges from 1925 to $3.50
box. On oranges from Florida the
rail rate is IS cents and the steamer
rate 10 cents box. From Sicily YES
sells bring oranges at 80 cents a box,
| but there is duty of 20 cents Per-
haps 1000 cases of oranges still come
| annually from Spain. The shoe, how
ever. in the last fifteen years has been
placed on the other foot. In 1892 was
the first expectation from this country
TO Europe of Florida oranges. OF the
crop of 100000 boxes there are now
exported three or four thousand. OF
the California crop of 100000 boxes
two or three thousand are exported
Sicily supplies almost all of the lem
ons that are used in the United States.
The quantity averages about 1000, 900
boxes a year. which pays a vessel
| freight of 80 cents and a duty Of 20
| cents a box. The California lemon
supply has grown to about 5000 cars of
$50 boxes each, and is expected in two
or three years to reach an aggregate Of
| 10000 cars. When that happens lemon
growers of Sicily will probably be
Obliged to find other markets Scatter
ing shipments of lemons are received
as early as November / and as late
as October i, the height of the season
| being from May to July.
There was once a fruit called shad-
| dock. 1t was bitter and nobody
thought Of eating 1t. Then it received
a degree of domestication and was
called the pomelo. Now II is very
| highly esteemed as the grape fruit.
There are three sources OF supply, ia
maica in October, Florida during the
orange season. and California. At the
beginning of the season grape fruit
| brings $3.50 box, but from November
to February the price sometimes
reaches $40 for a box of from forty
six to eighty fruit. The freight is the
same as on oranges.-New York Sun.

BUTcHERY OF BIRDS.
An Imported Industry that Ought to
Rouse the Audubon Society.

Rouse the Audubon Society.
The Italian women who cut the
dandelions in fields and street grass
borders and even private lawns in
Greater Boston, says a writer in the
Boston Evening Transcript, form Mil
lst-like figures in the landscape; In
their bungling rigs, short skirts, kerr
chiefed heads and clumsy footwear
they give the conventionally foreign
touch and air to the scene. But their
men-folks, the opera-chorus-looking
sort OF bandits who go out with a gun
to shoot our song birds, should re-
ceive no hospitality.
In Italy there Is no check placed
on the depredations on bird life, and
IL Is figured that 10000 900 wild birds
year in Italy fail a prey to indis-
criminate gun-butchery until Italy has
become almost a land without birds.
The peninsula Of Italy forms an I'M
portant route for the migrant birds
which. coming from the north and
west OF Europe. pass back and forth
across the Mediterranean to Northern
Africa, Egypt and the Nile VALLEY. So
the Italians for centuries have been
killing not only their own birds, but
those which belong equally to north.
ern and southern nations.
IL Is easy TO get up prejudice
against any set OF foreigners. II Is
easy 10 declare that the Italians
among US do not feel anything OF the
sentiment OF friendship and affection
for the song birds OF the country that
we natives feel: but II Is certain that
one may see In the markets OF any
OF the larger towns In Italy all sorts
OF song and game birds with no lis
elimination of size OF kind. Strings
OF little birds are hawked about the
streets and hung in the windows OF
shops, especially In the roticerie, or
grill houses. as was once the custom
In our Southern cities from Baltimore
10 New Orleans (and probably has no'
wholly ceased In Boston). in spite OF
the efforts OF the Audubon Society To
suppress II by local laws.
The picture for the Imagination OF
a birdless land should be enough TO
put stop to this imported Italian
industry.

OUR ORANGES HOME GROWN.
Spain and Sicily No Longer IN
Chief Sources.

Half century ago when citrus fruits
were first sold at auction, oranges and
lemons came only from Sicily and
Spain. Not so very many years ago a
man took slips Of the seedless orange
from South America to California.
Now the Sicily oranges find their mar
ket in other lands. principally in the
countries Of Europe. The California
production is expected TO Increase In
the next few years to 10000 carloads
for the season.
The shipments begin in November
and the height OF the season, which is
In May, Is being extended from year
to year. From Florida shipments be-
gin in October, reach their height in
December and cease In February. Porto
Rico is comparatively a small source
OF supply at present. but is so rapidly
developing that shipments are expected
in a few years TO reach $4,000 boxes
a month. The season begins in octo-
Der and continues until the latter part
OF March. Cuba Is also developing az
a source Of supply.
Oranges are sold by auction immedi-
ateIy upon receipt at the North River
piers. The Florida oranges are packed
in the crates by the grower. In Cali
fornia they are taken to packing
houses, one Of which Is at nearly every
railway station. The fruit has been
carefully picked and put in field boxes
from which II Is taken at the station.

SHAW FAYORS KEEP SYSTEM

DifaIs and start Rivalry.

Secretary Shaw mas written "A letter TO
the President stating that he is in favor
Of cost-keeping as a branch of account
ing where the government is "a producer.
as outlined by the Keep Commission. The
Secretary's letter IS as follows:
Replying TO your request for my views
as TO the advisablity OF adopting the
recommendations of the Committee on
Department Methods, cost-keeping as a
branch of accounting. / beg TO advise:
I am heartily in favor of it in all bu-
reaUs where the government is a pro-
ducer. II has been installed in several
bureaus Of this department and bids fair
to work wei. II viii be installed in one
or two bureaus where the government can
scarcely be said to be n producer, like the
Marine Hospital Service. The fact that
the various superintendents know that the
annual report viii disclose not only the
per capita cost Of maintenance, but the
per capita Of each detail of maintenance
like food and physicians service. wSl tend
to create a wholesome rivalry in reason
able economy between the several hos
pitfalls. I use this as an Illustration Of the
benefits that may be derived
The committee on departmental methods
has recommended to President Roosevelt
that the heads Of the various depart
ments bureaus. and divisions, as well as
independent government establishments
in Washington, and those outside Of the
city, be directed at once to install cost
keeping systems
The commission believes that this
system. working in harmony with the
bookkeeping, will enable Uncle sam to
exercise more intelligent supervision over

turns. Mr. Oliver wanted to take the
contract single-handed, but he WAS told
by AIr- Shonts, chairman of the Canal
