How to Kill Moths.
A uew and successful plan to destroy
moths and other insects in oroharda aud
vineyard, has bten discovered iv Fresno.
It consists of a deep tin pan, over which
paper is spread, and io the center of
which a lighted lantern is placed. The
paper is then strowu nil over with pul
verised buhach, and also the lantern.
The motbs rush to tbe light, and buzz
around the pan, but whatever they touch
gives them a dose of poison. With
Macbeth they might exclaim, "whioh
way I fly is hell." As a consequence
the insects are killed by myriads and
the fruit is saved. The remedy is cheap
and ham ly applied by our orchardists and
vineyardists who can soon uleau their
premises of noxious iusects.
Tbe hoppers at that place havo ap
pjared hy the million ou the grape vines.
To kill these ravenous little creatures,
powered buhach Is hlowu upou the
vines from a bellows and soon kills every
individual hopper. To kill the eggs ot
tbe hopper, sulphur is mixed with the
buhach in tho proportion uf ono pouud
of buhach to thirty pouuds of sulphur.
The sulphur destroys the hopper eggs
on the lower side of the leaves, uud
prevents mildew, while tbe buhach
kills the hoppers. Dr. Eisen has a
plan of planting verbena beds in vine
yards, at the rate of one bed to about a
huudred or two hundred acres. Just
before suuset sprinkle every verbena bed
with hnhaoh and the keen-eyed moth
will rush fortbe bright dowers aud rush
to death. The plan of Ur. J£isen is both
novel, cheap aud effectual. A pound of
buhach powder will answer for a hun
dred acres of vineyard. Tbe same
plan oau be practiced in orchards.
Such a rem dy is so easy and cheup that
it can be tried very easily. An electric
light will do the aame thing but will
cost more money.

Good Advice.
A writer ou the Saeraiueuto Hit
says:
" The fact that mauy uiun iv the foot
hill sections of the State are making
good livings off teu aud twenty-acre
orchards aud viueyards, should encour
age persons of moderate muaus to ac
quire little homosttads of tbeir own.
Lauds can sow tie procured almost any
whore on terms of easy payment, and a
very few years will sutlice lo pay for
il. It will uot be many years un
til the more desirable places are sot
tied, and then the price ot laud will he
mn li higher than it now is. Hence,
persons of small ineaus, who desire
homes of their own, should be looking
about them. <«• fat things have beeu
aucouipliehed by some owners of a few
acres judiciously cultivated, and wbut
one person has accomplished auotlier
may. Wben possible to do so, every
family should have its own home, how
ever humble it may be."
Mining Laws in a Nutshell.
A locator of a mining claim, in mak
ing his claim on thu grouud that its
boundaries can be reatlily traced, is not
bold to abeolute exactness iv runuiugtlie
Hues or infixing tbe corner or otber posts.
The ditierouce of a few feet or a few
points betweeu the monuments nxed by
an actual survey for a patent aud thoae
fixed at tbo time of location is imma
terial, and does not atfect tbe validity
of tbe original location. The location
of a veiu or lode mado upon the sur
face where tbo vein or lo le tiuds its
apex will not bo defeated by the secret,
underground workiugsund possosfiou hy
parties haviug no possession of or right
to the surfaco embraeiug il. Tho pos
session of a veiu recoguizod by the min
ing laws, and to which protection is
gives, is a possession by one who bold*
tbe surfauu where tbe veiu makes its
apex. The location nf a mining claim is
sulhciently delinite when thj aoosssjl
ble boundaries there... art plainly
marked on tbo ground bysUkoaaud nat
ural objects, and iuaceessihle buuiidsrirs
described by courses aud distances sulti
. lent to poiut out to any one honestly
endeavoring to ascertain where such
boundaries were. The right of tbe
uccupauts of mining grounds on tho
public domain will bo upheld wheu Ihe
appropriation thereof has beeu made
by means which substantially comply
with the law, and which in view of the
surrounding circumstances, convey
notice to tads* who have a right te
know that tbe particular miuing ground
is subject to tho dominion audcoutrol of
some private persons.
Hard to Answer
"Pan, is it a sin for a man to have two
"Yes, son."
"Well, it isn't a sin in heaven to have
two wive* there, is il?"
"Yea), I suppose so."
"Why, old Bloomer's wife what died
yesterday, i< his second wife what's dead
now, ami if he goes to hoaven whun he
dies hVII have two wives there, won't
he?'
"Yes."
"Thou heaven must Ut sort of a Mor

"That wdl do, now."
"Ob, yes, you always say 'that'll do

Olive Growing.
It is asigu of wisdom and id indication
of prosperity to observe the iucreasod at
tention that is being paid to the cultiva
tion of tho olive tree in California. From
Paaudtna to Etiwanda in many places
tbis historic tree is being planted ami is
attaining a Una growth. This valuable
tree will produce a diversity of crops
Ibat must bs of great importance in tbe
future. (Should disease overtake tbe
orauge and the grape, the olive will sup
ply the deficiency wilh ita valuable yield.
The Hkhalt> has steadily advocated a
divertilied industry to preserve a steadi
ness of eupply and demsnd which is
essential to Ihe st.>l>iliiy of trade.
Ihe stability of trade in this country
would be Largely promoted by tho culti
vation of the (dive, the product of which
is *alal>le and profitable at all seasons
of tbe year. Th« persons wbo are plant
ing tbis tree for the first time, will do
well lo observe (he valuable hints in the
following extract from a letter on olive
trees, by Frank A. Kimball, of San
Diego, wbo has bad several years of
experience in this business and has been
very suscesatul I
"Tbe habit of the Mission olive
wbethur natural ur the result of cli
matic causes, since its introduction luto
California, is to breach low, and if tin ho
low limbs bu removed by severe prun
ing, the higher limbs wdl droop and
shade tbe trunk, and right hero is where
the "Msaiou" olive has an advantage
over many varieties whioh scud out
tbeir branches at an acute angle to tbe
main stock of the tree, thus exposing
the trunk to the desiccating influence
of our long dry seasons, the tendency
being to evaporate the sap which Na
ture intended should be deposited as
wood.
"I bave tried tho experiment and am
satisfied .that a larger tree cau be made
in five yeara by low branching, than in
seven years by pruning the low branches
and sx posing the truuk. All trees
tiimnied high will have coarse baik aud
rough, like tbe hark on old apple trees,
but when protected by foliage, the bark
remains smooth and green.
"Muuy people ore of Ihe opinion that
the olive tree may bo planted on land
which is worthless for any other plant,
and as a general couclasiou say, the
olive will glow anywhere and thiive
without care. Kxperieuce in Southern
California will prove the fallacy of such
conclusions and I believe it may be
written down as an axiom—that every
plant, to secure the best results must be
planted iv soil adapted to its nature, in
locations adapted to its habits, aud
receive such care aud cultivation as
would entitle the owner to expect satis
factory returns.
"Uuudreds and perhaps thousand* of
cargoes of earth have been transported
qu vessela from the Island of Cyprus lo
the Island of Malta, carried up the
mountain eidct on the beads or shoulders
of men and women, and added to the
poor rocky sterile soil of the mountains
aud make it possible to produoe the
wonderful crops that have made that
island, having an area of less than six or
eight miles of arable land, the most pro
ductive of auy similar area, probably,
ou the globe, there being an annual ex
port of from 86,000 to $10,000 in the
product of the olive tree, mulberry tree
and the vine."
There is great good seuse in the above
extract. It haa become a well known
fact tbat the large and handsome olives
are produced from well cultivated trees
ou upland soil and tbat the little fruit
is from trees that have been grossly
neglected. Los Angeles ooanty can, and
should have tha best of tbis fruit.
Not a High Art Customer.
"What do you ask fur this oil paint
ing?"
"That is worth $350, madam."
"it is beautiful ! And how mnch is
this?"
"That is worth $425, madam."
"And this ?*'
"That is worth 8500, madam."
"How beautiful !'*
"Were you thinking of buying, mad
am ?"
"Yes, 1 have been thinking of pur
chasiug some pictures."
"I wouM be happy to sell you a few
of these. They are among the finest ever
brought to (his city."
"They are beautiful,"
" This Btfoo pastoral is exquisite."
"It is indeed. Have you auy uf these
pictures that come on cards for five cents
a doZ'-n?"
" No, we are out of them, but we got
in a supply of one cent postage stamps
this in or mug, which wo arc selling off at
cost. You'll find them on the fifth door.
