The Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart- ment submitted his annual report to the City Trustees, which shows the losses for the past year to aggregate §6530. Facili= ties with which to fight fire have been greatly improved during the past year by the building of a sixty-foot splice ladder, the purchase of a hose patch to stop leaks in hose when in service, a heater to keep the water in the boiler of the steamer hot while standing, and the location of addi- tional fire-alarm boxes. A hose wagon sufficient to carry 1500 feet of hose and a steam fire engine have been recommended for the district west of Grand street. The Chief recommends that ay of the prominent men be placed at more in accordange with the aries paid to other employes in_ the different departments of the city. Em- ployes of the Fire Department are ex- pected to be nervy and skillful in the d charge of duty, but the pay accorded them is not equal to that of street laborers. New Sub-Station.

A compromise had been effected, and the dismissal was ordered accordingly. | Louise Mesick, a niece of the testator, was the principal contestant.

TRACTION ENGINES IN THE LEVEL VALLEYS OF THE IN- TERIOR. NEW HORTICULTURAL IDEAS. MATTERS OF INTEREST ON THE FARM, THE RANGE AND IN THE ORCHARD. Traction engines now occupy en im- portant position in the commerce of Cali- fornia, and their use is constantly growing. Their greatest utility is made manifest in the great level valleys of the interior, where they can be used to haul wheat from the field to railroad stations and steamboat landings. For this pyurpose they are much more economical thah horses. Where the land is stfficiently level to use them for hauling gang plows and harrows, they are also used to great advantage. They are also profitably employed in propelling combined harvesting machines.. The lat- ter, we may state for the benefit of Eastern readers, consist of a header and thrasher, so combined that the wheat is headed and thrashed as the inachine moves over the field; the straw being run into attending wagons if the farmer intends to save it, or dumped on the ground if not; while the wheat sacks are loaded on an accom- panying wagon or thrown on the ground in piles, as the owner may elect. Traction engines have alsd been intro- duced in logging camps; in one instance réducing the number of horses employed from 150 to a single span. This effected a great saving, as hay was high in the moun- tains, while fuel was plentiful and cost nothing. 3 | The traction engine will ascend grades as great as 800 feet to the mile. This makes their sphere of usefulness in log- ging camps an extended one. There are meny places along the Sierra Nevada Mountains where lumber is hauled by teams from the mills to the railroad, the distance often ranging from twenty to forty miles. In nearly every instance the traction engine could be used economically, but the teamsters, whose investments often equal that necessary for the purchase of a traction engine, object seriously to the in- troduction of steam engines. In many in- stances the teamsters are farmers, who use their stock between seedtime and har- vest in hauling lumber. Their antipathy to the traction engine often greatly delays a change. 1 The traction engine’s usefulness is not | confined to any one linc of service, and | | it can be used to pump water for irri- | gation, to haul road-making machines, haul | merchandise, and transport ores from mines to mills. | A new use has recently been found for | them. There are in some sections of the | | State extensive areas of land covered with | | chemisal. sagebrush, and the aconite bush. The clearing of this land, while it did not involve the expenditure of as much as the clearing of timber land, was neverthe- | less expensive. A few years ago a farmer devised a heavy iron roller, which he pro- pelled over the land with a traction engine. his broke down and crushed the brush, even uprooting much of it, and in every case loosening the root. Thus the clear- ing of the land was made easy and inex- pensive. Other uses will no_doubt yet be sug- gested. In the San Joaquin Valley they | could be used to haul canal-boats along canals that must eventually be constructed north and south. Whether they would be as economical as power transferred by electricity would depend upon the source of the power, and its distance from the field of operations. The paper-shell almond is the most profitable variety in most sections of the State. The new freight rate on oranges which went into effect on the 15th ult., provides that orange boxes shall be estimated at seventy-two pounds instead of seventy. This increases the freight $7 50 per carload of 300 boxes. Mrs. Elise P. Buckingham, who owns | the Lagunita ranch, near Vacaville, prob- ably owns the largest fruit orchard owned by any woman in' the world. She grows and markets as high as 600 tons per annum. | A Florida expert sums up his experi- | ence in regard to the use of fertilizers for | orange orchards as follows: Apply stable | manures early, that they may rot in the s0il in the rainy season; apply bone meal | about blossoming time; after the fruit is | set, apply potash. Of course this plan | shouls Ee changed if the soil already con- tains an abundance of potash. California_has no competitor on the con- tinent for its olives, figs, raisins, table | grapes, apricots and nectarines. They caunot be grown successfully in any other StateT * The greater portion of the olive crop is picked too green. The olive, when fresh from the tree, is bitter. The bitterness is removed by the application of lye. When picked gréen, olives are hard and acrid, and do not have the rich flavor which can only be present in fruit that has been al- lowed to fully ripen. Quincas here produce a sure crop every vear. They areless liable to the ravages of msect pests than almost any other friit, They ripen late, and can be sgip ed when other fruit is out of the way. They bear | heavily. They are less perishable” than other fruits, and can be packed when still reen, and can be shipped as common reight. They can be shipped to the East at a net profit of from 48 to 61 cents per box. The profit per acre variés from $50 to $100, The quince cannot be grown upon the valley lands as profitably as some other fruits, but thrives in foothill and mountain sections where the weather is too cold for the greatest development of more profitable fruits. ‘While it is a fact that fruits, vines and vegetables of every name and nature that grow in temperate and semi-tropic zones may be grown in California, it is a dem- onstrated fact that some products are more profitable than others. There are few farmers, indeed, who confine them- selves to any one product, because the land is so rich and the seasons so favorable that one crop may be sown after another has been harvested. More or less stock. too, can always be kept on what would otherwise be wasted. But the best-paying products are peaches, pears, plums, prunes, cherries, apricots, walnuts, almonds, apples and grapes. The mountains for apples. Fruit should never be pressed in the box. Cherry trees should be kept free from um. g Plant the fruit that does best in your locality. : Deep, frequent plowing pays in any orchard. - < Eternal vigilance in the price of a clean orchard. The nectarine reaches its greatest per- fection in California. The Bartlett is the choicest of all the varieties of pears. Fruit budded on almond stock requires a warm, friable soil. ¥ Our pears can be sold in the East before Eastern pears are ripe. $ Too much moisture, either in air or soil; causes prunes to crack. Tomatoes yield in California from twelve to twenty-four tons per acre. Fruit should be shipred only in boxes which admit the air freely. Apples should not be planted nearer to each other than twenty or twenty-five feet. For canning, Nichol's cling and Seller's cling are choice varieties of the peach. | the Siberian coast. The Muir peach is one of the best varie- ties for drying, but is particular as to soil. The worth of sun-dried fruit devends n the conditions of the climate in which it is dried. In moist climates, or in lands where there are frequent showers during the season of drying, fruit cured in the open air is comparatively valueless. Few culture Plnnfl. and no ‘fruit trees, do well with “wet feet.” All trees like moisture, but trees should not stand in water. If ground is swamped with water much of the plant is carried away with the percolating water, and tree roots stand- ing therein are likely to decay. The lemon crop in Riverside will not be as large as usual this year, owing to the frost of last year injuring the young wood. There is also another reason, which is that many of our older lemon orchards were }»lnnted on their own roots, and as the emon root has been found by costly ex- Eerience to be very subject to disease that ills the trees, it has %lite materially affected the production. hile the plant- ing of lemons has not been entered into very fully in Riverside, other places have gone into it very extensively and have found it very profitable. Circumstances have been very much against the growers for the last year or two, and many growers. have lost money in lemons. For the past two years they have been very dull of sale, and prices low. Last year in particular was a bad year, as, owing to the frost, they did not keep as well during the curi {:rocess as usual, and many of them rot efore they could be disposed of.—River- side Reflex. Professor W. A. Saunders of Fresno County states that the best forage plant that he knows of is the arundine. He thinks this plant furnishes the largest yield from the smallest area, and that it is superior to sorghum, sugar beets, evergreen millet, espersette, broom grass, blue grass, orchard grass, lentils, cow peas or wild peas as a food for milch cows. Frank Houghton of Tehama County figures’ that it costs him 33 cents per bushel to grow wheat, and that in order to make the business profitable the landgnust not be worth more than $10 per acre, and should yield from twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre—which is, by the way, much_ above the average—at 1 cent per pound. . Sparks of Lincoln, Placer County, says his experiments in feeding wheat to hogs shows that it takes six pounds of wheat to make one pound of pork, and that therefore it is not profitable. ‘Whether wheat growing is profitable or not depends very much upon the product per acre. If land worth $100 per acre pro- duces only ten or twelve bushels per acre, the business will not be profitable, Upon the other hand, if from cheap land about forty bushels peracre is harvested, the business may be profitable. Hence the production of large crops is necessary. The average net income per acre obtained by | wheat-growers in this State is probably not over $8. Many farmers who have small farms in the mountains could very profitably raise fish. The best localities are those where water runs swiftly and where there is suf- ficient fall to make waterfalls where there are none, thus aerating and purifying the water. Not less than three ponds should be provided, unless there is room for one very large one. The fish require very little attention, and mountain and brook trout always command a good market price in the San Francisco market. Most all currycombs are too harsh for use, and they often torture the animal upon which they are used. A broomcorn brash is harsh enough. Cards pull out too much hair. Straw and dirt should be re- moved from the mane and tail by hand as far as possible. Muddy legs and manure stains may be washed off with water, but if the legs are washed too often the skin becomesgdry and the legs are weakened. The hair should Be rubbed dry in every in- ance, whether the animal has heen poshed or is damp with perspiration. Nothing except rapid_and brutal driving down steep grades will more quickly in- jure a horse’s legs than to allow him to stand in the stall with wet legs. Very little meadow-grass is_grown in California, except in the mountain districts, where the weather is cold and the soil not suited to wheat. Then a mixture of red- top and timothf’ is usually sowed. The mixture generally used in the East con- tains seeds in the following ratio, eighteen pounds being sown to the acre: Pounds, Timothy 4 Bluegra: 2 Orchard 2 Meadow-fescue 1 Lucern 2 2 Common red 2 Alsike 2 White Dutch -2 Trefoil 1 Total .18 There is scarcely a farmer anywhere who cannot increase bis income by raising pig- eons, even if they are grown for the table only, They usually command a fair price in Ban Francisco, and they will in most instances secure their own food. The prin- cipal requisites are clean apartments and plenty of water. Pigeons lay two eggs each cluteh, and the hatching period is eighteen days. Then they do not usually com- mence to lay again until from two to five weeks. Usually a new setting of eggs may be expected about three weeks after the previous hatch. One of the essential points in raising pigeons is to avoid having too many males. Extra males attempt to se- cure mates from other niales, and they thus prove uneasy interruptions in the peace of the families. A new fornFe glanc was_recently discov- ered on an island in the Pacific Ocean, off ! It is claimed that it produces from fifty to 200 tons per acre, which is certainly a marvelous crop. We receive this statement with hesitancy, even though it is stated that the unnamed plant reaches a height of fourteen feet. It is claimed also that the plant succeeds well without irrigation. It will be remfembered that such a claim was also made for alfalia, though the latter plant requiresa great deal of moisture. However, investigation may result in g g to the world a very valuable forage plant. The Department of Agriculture has secured a limited supply, and the Salt Lake Tribune states that the | price is $8 per hundred plants. . Whatever the cost of irrigation may be it costs more under ordinary circumstances not to irrigate. One of the greatest secrets of success in farming is to buy nothing that can be pro- duced upon the farm. 1t never pays to keep old horses. They eat more hay and put on less flesh than younger stock. Farming implements that are properly cared for last a third longer than those which are constantly exposed to the action of sun and rain. 2 Horses that are driven every day on the road will wear out a set of common shoes on an average every two weeks. Itismore than suspected that blacksmiths often use the softest iron shoes procurable. Good steel shoes usually cost a little more but they last nearly twice as long as the softer ones. Horses that travel on the road thrive bet- ter on oat than on wheat hay. Most of the wheat hay is cut before "it thoroughly ripens and 1s entirely too laxative. en the dry, light-colore h?I is the best and most strengthening. orses like green- lookin% hay, just as boys love candy, but when it comes’ to ability for work, the bo; needs beefsteak, and the horse needs well- cured and thoroughly ripened )n{, It pays to securely lock not only dwell- ings, but barns, cellars and implement, fruit and poultry houses, Thefts are constantly being committed, and the only way to avoid loss is to lock the stable-door before the horse is stolen. Lvery farmer should make or have made an accurate map of his farm, with every tree, yine, lot and building marked in their proper place. The date when trees were planted and houses and fences built will prove useful also. The whipTing of 2 horse when it stum- bles is utterly 'ndefensible. If theanimal is an habitual stumbler the trouble is weakness of the knees. A good treatment for brittle feet in horses is to rub the soles and shells of the feet with a mixture composed of the fol- lowing: Tar, two parts; beef suet, two };uts; whale oil, four parts; beeswax and 11 IRRIGATION FOR NEVADA LANDS. A PROPOSITION TO RECLAIM THOU- SANDS OF ACRES BY THE STATE. IMMIGRATION NOW WANTED. AGRICULTURE THE METHOD BY ‘WHICH PROSPERITY WILL BE SOUGHT. To speak of Nevada as an agricultural State would sound singular to the ears of those who have always associated that commonwealth with bonanza mines and the production of other minerals, but men who have given the matter a thorough in- vestigation are sanguine that ere many years have passed this State will be dotted over with grain fields and fruit orchards which will enable it to take rank with the now more favored States to the East which are possessed of the only requisite which Nevada at present lacks—water and ple}\ty of it. It is proposed by legislative action to take advantage of the provision of what is known as the Cleary act of Congress, by which each of the arid States was allotted 1,000,000 acres of land by the general Gov- ernment, provided they took the necessary steps to reclaim it within a period of ten years from the passage of said act. J. A. Yerington, the gentleman who represented Nevada at both the World's and Midwinter Fairs, is now at the Palace, and yesterday mentioned some of the fea- tures of what the movement is expected to accomplish. “The object of the bill which is to be imroducm{ in our Legislature,”’ said he, ‘‘is to create a water commission, the duties of which will be to make surveys, pick out lands suitable for reclamation and suggest the necessary steps to put the State on an agricultural basis. “Qur soil is very prolific and anything grows that is supplied with sufficient water. The fact of the matter is that crops in Nevada develop six weeks before they do in Los Angeles. There are immense tracts of land which are eminently fitted for the purposes designed. The Humboldt Valley, for instance, contains one body of 60,000 acres which can be reclaimed, while in the Carson, Truckee and Walker River valleys in the upper regiom, and im the Colorado and its tributaries in the lower, vast tracts of splendid land for this pur- pose await development by irrigation. “Now the Government sells this class of land at $1 25 peracre. It is estimated that the proceeds of the 1,000,000 acres which is ziven the State, sold on’ the basis men- ioned, would probably pay for the neces- sary work of irrigation. But suppose the cost exceeds that figure, it would an easy matter for the State to dispose of the land at five times the price mentioned if a certain supply of water could be assured. This, of course, is figuring urm\ the actual returns to the State in cash provided it undertakes the work, and does not take into consideration the wonderful 1mpetus it would give every conceivable branch of business through the immigration which would necessarily follow and the general development which would take place. ‘‘Nevada has in the past contributed but little to her own material advancement. The millions which have been extracted from her mines have built palaces in other States and laid cables to foreign clime: not a dollar of it, comparitively speaking, remained in the State as a monument fi, her productiveness. The men who had ac- cumulated these great fortunes moved to other localities and took their wealth with them, leaving behind nothing but the recollection of an era of unexampled min- ing prosperity. “Now we propose to take another tack. Ii we can develop a farming territory there will be no danger of losing it, but it will remein constantly with us and contribute its proportion to the upbuilding of the entire State. “A great deal of money has already been expended by Francis P. Newlands and other individuals in exploiting this idea of irrigation, but it has become manifest that in order to make it a successthe movement should have the backing of the State and the co-operation of all its people.” THE DISTRICT FAIRS, A Meeting of Delégates Held Last Even- ing. A meeting was held last evening at the rooms of the Breeder and Sportsman, 313 Bush street, of the delegates of the differ- ent district fairs, with A. H. Cohen of Alameda presiding in the chair, and Wil- ford Page acting as secretary. The princi- pal business transacted was the arranging of dates of the aifferent associations and the drafting of a set of resolutions regard- ing the State appropriations to the district fairs. Delegates were present from the follow- ing falr associations: Golden Gate No. 1, Vallejo No. 36, Napa No. 25, Sonoma, Marin No. 4, Woodland No. 40, Monterey No. 7, San Benito No. 33, Humboldt No. 9, and Yuba No. 13.

When we saw it we thought that it was a camel, but Calinus said that the beast was a rhi- noceros or unicorn. It hath ahorn set in the. midst of its forehead, four feet long, and whatsoever it butts at it runs him through and pounds him against the rocks. Itissaid by writers on natural histor: that they place a young virgin in his wa whereat he puts away from him all his fierceness and lays down his head and is held thus entranced until he be taken and slain.” Thus wrote that delightfully naive ob- server, Father Felix Fabri, who visited Sinai 400-yearsago.
