The Watch for Rain— California
Prunes— ami "Wines,
and Other Subjects.
The full crop report from all portions
of the State, published in these columns
last week, presented the fact that while
rain was needed in all sections, no damage
had thus far resulted from the dry weather,
and would not for a week or ten days
longer. There was considerable anxiety,
however, noticeable. -This has been al
ready somewhat relieved by timely show
ers in many parts of the State, nnd with
the prospects for more at this writing. It
is proverbial that the people of Califor
nia are ever on the watch for a disastrous
drought, whenever it is not raining, but
fcie fact that such a drought seldom occurs
after all, should have more influence than
it does in allaying fears. It is now so
dry in most places that plowing for sum
mer fallow cannot be done, and many who
were doing Jate plowing for spring sowing
have been compelled to defer until suffi
cient rain falls to wet the ground to suita
ble depth. The recent north winds have
had their usual effect, and left but little
moisture near the surface. All the weather
prophets are expecting rain the coming
week "on account of the sun crossing the
Equator," and if these prognostications
prove correct, it will give great confidence
that the season will be one of prosperity.
CALIFORNIA THINKS.
In their annual report of California
dried fruits and nuts, recently issued,
George W. Meade & Co., of San Francisco,
say concerning the prune productions of the
State: The production of over 1,500,000
pounds of California French prunes in
1884, as against 250,000 pounds in 1883,
will show the great increase in this favor
ite industry. Unfortunately, however,
with a large crop in France, dull times, i
and tight money East, the usual large or
ders I for these goods from our Eastern
friends have been sadly missed, and at this j
writing we regret to say that a fair portion !
of this stock is still in the hands of pro- i
ducers, unsold ; and we must repeat the |
suggestion made in former years, that until
our prunes are properly graded by num
bers to the pound, as they are in France,
we cannot expect, except in the most
favorable years, to induce" the Eastern
trade to buy largely. They will have
prunes packed in the French style, and
until we adopt this custom California!
prunes are bound to be taken sparingly
and under protest. French prune graders !
are a very simple and inexpensive con- j
trivance, but they assort the fruit into I
40, 50, 60, 70, 90 or 100 to the pound,
and these different sizes are sold at
price- accordingly. In this shape the
dealer knows exactly what •he is buy
ing, and while the appearance, flavor,
and quality of our prunes are well
liked East, the complaint (and justly
BO) is that the goods are all packed
indiscriminately, large and small
together, which gives the retailer
very great cause for dissatisfaction.
A new factor has appeared this
last campaign; in the way of Cali
fornia German prunes — a most excel
lent fruit, cleanly, free from sugar,
and superior in every way to the im
ported Turkish or German prune. Our
product of this fruit for 1884 aggregates
350,000 pounds, and to show what a
small figure this cuts, and what a tre
mendous field for operation we have before
ii-, we may mention that the consumption
of the German, Turkish, Bohemian ami
that grade of prunes in the United States
for 1883 approximated 60,000,000 pounds,
every pound of which, of course, was im
ported from abroad. While prices for our
own product have ruled low this year, and
the demand slow, our growers must not get
discouraged, for, with thousands of square
mile- in this State adapted to the raising
of this fruit in its perfection, and with the
present rate of increase, the time is not go
far distant as some may imagine when we
shall supply the United States with this
cheap yet palatable and much-called-for
table food.
PLANTING AMi WINE-MARINO. : f
I would like to ask some of our most
practical wine-makers how long it will !
take us California wine-makers to raise |
grapes intelligently, and make different '
brands of wine according to the different
kinds of wine in different sections? The
soil of ( lovcrdale differs somewhat from '
that of Healdsburg, Santa Rosa or Glen
Ellen. Sebastopol is entirely at variance
with either, while the soil of St. Helena
is quite distinctive from that of Oakville i
ana Napa City. There is also much dis- i
parity in the climate. Fresno and Los
Angeles differ. We may say there are
more than a thousand localities, each of
which will, some day, excel in some va
riety of wine. 1 think we have at least
50 kinds each of black and white grapes,
which make alone 100 varieties. It is
very easy to get of each white and black
grape 250 or 300 blends. Grajies grown
on different soils, and in different climates
on the same kind of soil, will vary in
quality. So at a glance we can see that
wine-makers have a chance to learn and i
improve for at least. 100 years. I advocate j
that each section form a viticultural j
society, and that each society dig a j
tunnel in some hill, or build a cellar suit
able for maturing wines; that small pack- 1
age* of all the different kinds and blends
be stored therein, and a record of each
package he kept. Thus, when we find a
failure we can discard it, and when
We find a SUCCESS we can try it again, j
It would be advisable for each grower to I
plant a -mall quantity of the many varie
ties, so that their virtues may be tested,
with small expense to each, and perhaps
with better results than if tried on ft par
ticular place with the expense borne by
the one. Ily this means I think we can
accomplish as much by the year 1900 a
we will in a century if we continue selling ,
our grab's to large wineries, where those
from red, black or sandy soils, hill or valley i
land, half-ripe, ripe and over-ripe, are
crushed and damped into one tank, and no
record is kept of them, and the result is
si- 1.l for Wnfandel, Charbono, or whatever
the buyer wants the most. I well know—
and many .hanks to them — that there are
quite a number of unselfish men in the
State, who at great expense of mind, body
and purse arc doing a great good in exper
imenting. But I think each section can
best test its own varied resources. By
planting many varieties, and thus testing
them, we will sooner lie able to answer the ,
great questions now asked by nearly all, |
" What shall 1 plant." and '• How can 1,
make wine intelligently ? "—[J. G. Ileald. j
in San Francisco Merchant.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT GKAFTHCQ.
Every old farmer and fruit-grower
knows that, since the time when the mem
' ory of man runneth not back to the con
trary, it was always the custom to procure j
scions long in advance of the time for set
ting them. There was much anxiety and
j trouble wasted |in their preservation and
considerable loss attending their use after
grafting. 'The writer thinks there is not
the least occasion for procuring them until
it is time to set tlfte graft, unless they are a
long way oft! As much as seven years ago
it was determined to | top about forty al
mond , trees in our t orchard. They bore
I little, and the birds got away with the few
nuts. .We had about fifteen young prunes,
, J Petite . d'Agen, in another orchard, from
which scions were obtained and put away !
for use in ; the orthodox fashion— in I .' sand.
When grafting them into the almonds the
next March we ran out of scions.. Think
ing it ' a.- pity i to ; leave* 1 several, topped
trees ■ unworked, 'we . cut some ' twigs
fresh from the other " orchard, . and
put them " in , the same day. Not one of
them failed to grow and bear fruit. E But
many of the " old prepared grafts did fail,
because spoiled in trying to jiresen c them.
This was the beginning of the transforma
tion - of so many almond orchards' into
French prunes. The experiment was I
grand success. It was widely published
and acted upon. Since that time the j
harum-scarum plan has worked so well
that I make a point of getting fresh scions
— apple, plum, pear, grape and" so on of
neighbors and nurserymen, whenever they
happen to have something new - and work
them as soon as I get . home ; provided,
always, that it is during the spring months.
This may not be new to professional horti
culturists, but' it is I convenient for every
farmer's boy to know the fact. "Whether
the favoring climate of California has any
thing to do with the success of grafting we
do not know, but presume there is some
thing in it. — [California Patron.
CARE OF THE FARM HOUSES.
Now that the heavy spring work of need
ing the fields has commenced or about to
begin, due attention should be given to the
care and handling of the farm teams. The
first consideration, supposing that plenty
of good food, bedding and stabling have
been provided," is the proper fitting of the
harness. The collar should neither be too
large nor too small, and the liaincs so
adjusted that they will not be too tight
nor too loose at the bottom or at the top.
If to be worked to the plow or harrow the
tugs should be let out a few holes, and the
back pads let out so that when the tugs are
tightly drawn they will just gently press
upon "the back, so that the tugs will as
sume a straight line with the line of
draught. In no case should the back pad
sustain any considerable part of the weight
of the load in its draught. Many horses
are injured and often spoiled by oversight
in the proper adjustment of the harness,
when used in heavy work. In fact, it is
often the cause in a young horse '
acquiring the balky habit. Truly, a
thoughtful man who knows what
the scourge of misfitting boots or
shoes is behind the plow should have
some consideration for the faithful animal
in misfitted harness in front of the plow
where the heaviest work is done. The
feeding ami care in the stable of work
horses should receive the closest attention.
They should be fed early enough in the
morning to allow them ample time to ap
propriate a Sufficient quantity of food be
fore* being taken to the field. They should
be groomed thoroughly but not harshly,
and the collars well scraped and cleaned
before being put on. When brought in
very warm, the}- should not be allowed to
drink quite all the water they seem to
want, but given more after the meal. The
last thing at night they should be rubbed
clean and all mud and sweat brushed off.
This will conduce to their rest and make
grooming in the morning much lighter.
With proper care there- is no cause for sore
shoulders, sore backs or sore heels in horses
on the farm. If there is a "hired man"
on th°. farm who will hot properly take
care of his team, he should be discharged,
and a new one found.

WIHE FENCES.
The objection to wire fences, which on
their first appearance was quite strong, has
nearly or quite passed away. This objec
tion rested altogether upon the injury
horses and cattle were likely to suffer by
running against them; but as these acci
dents have proved so rare of late and the
reports of them have been shown to be
greatly exaggerated, we hear no more of
them. No doubt that now and then a
horse or a cow may be more or less hurt by
being forced against the barbs, but as these
barbs'are very short it is impossible to see
how any serious injury can be sustained
from them. Animals are hurt hy a stone
wall, or an ordinary post and rail fence, or
by attempting to jump over, or passing
through where there is a broken rail ; or
may be badly injured by falling into a hole
n. No lii.ilbt that now and then a
leor a cow may be more or less hurt by
ig forced against the barbs, brit as these
is* are very short it is impossible to see
any serious injury eau be sustained
1 them. Animals are hurt by a stone
, or an ordinary post and rail fence, or
attempting to jump over, or passing
ugh where there is a broken rail; or
be badly injured by falling into a hole
or a ditch, and if they were all reported it
would probably be shown that there would
lie as any as caused by the wire fence.
As a mere matter of protecting the premi
ses against incessant and damaging tres
passing, the value oftlie barbed fence will
prove to be inestimable. — [Walla Walla

ir\l;lto\viN"<; WHEAT. -
i
The subject of harrowing wheat after it
is up has been quite extensively discussed
among our farmers a3 they congregate at
the Farmers' Union oflice. in this place,
and all who have tried it, with one ac
cord, recommend the practice. This prac
tice is especially recommended when, as
now, the soil is crusted, /lining oft' the
moisture from below and pinching the
young grain. It is positively- asserted,
and which agrees with our own experi
ence, that no injury can result to the
grain by tin- operation, while it revivifies
the growth, brings the moisture to the
surface and shows the good results in a
surprisingly short time. We would not
harrow the ground when wet, as then it is
not needed and it might be injurious; but
when dry and suffering it is wholly bene
ficial. Many of our foremost farmers are
going all over their grain with the har
row. . Those who are in doubt should try
it on a small scale and prove the theory
for themselves. Farmer.
BAD FLAVOR IX MILK.
Complaint i- often made at the disagree
able taste of milk, especially in the autumn,
when succulent or green feed is given to
the cows. The foods which have the most
marked effect on the flavor of milk are tur
nips and cabbages, many farmers feeding
turnips throughout the year. Investigators
of the subject recommend the Use of boiling
water to eradicate the unpleasant taste.
While the "adulteration laws may not
allow its use by dealers, the consumer has
the privilege of watering his own milk.
To every gallon of new milk a pint of boil
ing water is recommended, and it is said it
will almost invariably remove any flavor

sTUAV NOTES.
The Biggs Independent says: "Moses
Wick, one of the best known stock-raisers
in the northern part of the State, has
among his cattle a splendid Durham cow
named Pet Twice this cow has given
birth -to J twin calve-, but on Monday she
added an extra number to the score and
produced triplets. The calves arc a beau
tiful reddish brown color, and, though
rather small, are fine formed and as lively
and graceful as any calf need be."
A parasite known as Hcteredora schach
til has just made its appearance in France,
greatly injuring the beet root. To this
parasite, Aime Girard thinks, is largely
due the partial failure of this year's' beet
root crop, which showed a deficit of 20 per
cent, ill the weight of the roots, besides a
decrease in the yield of saccharine, in some
of the northern districts amounting to 12
or 14 per cent. ff'Z'..

SCOTT VALLEY, SISKIYOU COUNTY.. 1;-
The rainfall for Scott Valley, Siskiyou county, was tabulated from data furnished
by C. 11. P vie, of Yreka. The observations were taken by Isaac I.etcomb, of Scott
Valley, on the south side of the north range of mountains forming Scott Valley. The
records run continuously from August, I*o9, to December, 1884, a period of twenty-live
years and live mouths, and, combined with the data from Yreka from 1572 to date,
makes Siskiyou one of the fullest reported counties in the State as to its rainfall record :

A fanner of large experience states that
pigs fed on sour milk are much more
healthy and thrifty than those confined to
diet of sweet milk.
Connecticut farmers report that an
abundance of feed has increased the milk
product so as to glut the market in some
localities.

BITS OF SCIENCE.
Cryolite, a mineral which is of great
value in the potash manufacture, has been
discovered in the Yellowstone Park.
Heretofore it has been obtained only in
( ireenland.
Until six months ago the navy was ob
liged to depend upon England for all the
gun-cotton used. Now the manufactory
erected at the Torpedo Station, Newport,
produces all that is required for sea-going
men-of-war and torpedoes.
A meteor which was seen to fall near
Odessa was found by a peasant, and proved
to be a shapeless mass of about eighteen
pounds. There is very little known as to
the causes of meteors, despite the annual
recurrence and observation of them in No
vember. • .;";' -' - > _
At a meeting of the Academy of Sci
ences, Stockholm, Professor Lundstrom ex
hibited a fossil scorpion recently found
near Wisby, in the Silurian formation of
Gotland, and remarkable as the most an
cient of an air-breathing land animal at
present discovered. *" ■:. ~ !.-
A very complete, tilling for open cracks
in floors may be made by thoroughly soak
ing newspapers in paste made of one pound
of flour, three quarts of water and a table
spoonful of alum, thoroughly boiled and
mixed. Make the final mixture about as
thick as putty, and it will harden like
papier mache.
The interesting fact has been demon
strated by Arthur Searle that the Milky
Way. is about two magnitudes brighter
than the mean brightness of the sky, and a
square degree of the Milky Way must
give between five and six times as much
light as an average square degree of the
rest of the sky. .-Jj.-.; ff
Mr. Johnston reached a bight of 16,313
feet on Kilimanjaro," the great mountain
of Eastern .'equatorial Africa, and at that
elevation found stones and snow, and ex
perienced a cold, driving mi«t. It appears
that the cultivated zone extends to an alti
tude of 5,500 feet, and the zone of vegeta
tion toa bight of 15,000.
From recent researches it appears that
ehlorophyl, the _ remarkable substance to
which the vegetable world owes the color
of its foliage, is made jup of two coloring
matters, a green and a yellow; . the relative
proportions being 100 of the former to one
of the latter. ' Both have been lately ob
tained in the crystalline state.
